"Where could she be?" Aruki said. She was with Mesan and they were trying to find Shesa in the icy land she had created. Mesan shook his head.

"I don't know." Aruki and Mesan called out their kin's name. There was no response. They came across a large indent in the ice. Aruki looked at Mesan, who shrugged.

"Shesa!" Aruki flew down to the bottom of the indent. "Shesa, are you in there?"

"...Yes." was the hesitant reply. "I am down here."

"Are you okay? Can you help us get to you?"

"Please, just go away. I'm fine."

"You don't sound fine."

"Well, I am fine. Please go away." Aruki looked at Mesan with an expression that asked for his help. Mesan climbed down and went by Aruki.

"Yo, Shesa." He said. "We won't go until you show us that you are fine. I heard that you left quickly after trying to figure out where Fyrca was heading. We just want to see that you are fine."

"Just leave me alone!" Shesa yelled through the ice. Mesan took out his katana and gestured for Aruki to take out her sharrukin.

"Well, if you won't let us come in, we will make a way in." Mesan struck the ice and Aruki helped him to make a tunnel to Shesa. She was all alone and curled up. Aruki put away her weapons and ran over to her.

"You lied. You're not okay." Aruki hugged her twin, who laid her head on Aruki's shoulder. "Shh. It will be alright. Want to talk about it?"

Shesa nodded and Mesan sat down. Shesa explained what happened and what she felt. She said she felt guilty because she trapped Fyki, or the corrupted version of Fyrca, in the ice. The group hugged and Shesa felt much better. She looked at both of them.

"Thanks, you two." She wiped her tears. "I feel much better now."

"No problem." Aruki said. "It would always feel nice to get a burden off my chest. When I first got trapped in a whole, it was nice when you all listened to me tell you why I was panicking."

"That is true." She said. "Now what?"

"Well," Mesan said. "Theon figured out how to make a gian, and he said that there was a chance that you could too since you created life without a base. And I believe creating something will help you lighten the mood."

"That is a good idea." Shesa agreed, nodding. "I have no clue if I could do it, though."

"Then how about you show us how you can create life?" Aruki said. "Then we can create our own chras!"

"That I can do." Shesa stood up. She formed a humanoid out of water. She froze it. "This is how I got the body. Then I focus on it, and try to pour energy into it." She focused on the boy she was creating. The ice reminded her of the land she had created, and how it was vast and powerful. The boy breathed his first breath and landed on his feet. Snow crystals formed some clothes: shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt. He looked at them with cyan eyes as his snow white hair formed. He tried to take a step toward them and out of instinct he conjured up a two-pointed staff. He held onto it. Mesan and Aruki looked at each other. Aruki went next to Shesa and smiled at her.

"Good job, you created a gian." She said, patting her back. Shesa smiled at her then went by the new gian.

"Hello." She greeted. The boy was able to stand.

"H-hello." The boy said softly.

"What is your name?" She asked. "What do you want to be called?"

"Frosk..." The boy said after a second. He looked at his staff. "My spear, Froskie."

"Alright then, Frosk." Shesa said. "Welcome to Giri."
