Ice Within

She never meant to leave her sister behind.

Ivory is half dragon. It's something that defines her, something that she's had to live with her whole life. So has her fraternal twin sister, Suri.

Who she left alone in a house seven years ago.

Ivory and her half sister, Scarlet - a human - left Suri to pursue a dream of Ivory's: to learn ice magic. She thought she was leaving her twin in good hands, in a good place, even if it was one of the poorest kingdoms in Izado.

That's the thing that keeps bugging her. The more she thinks about it, the more she worries about Suri, about what happened to her. The signs point to something being wrong, but she simply doesn't want to think about that.

And the more she gets involved in her ice magic classes, the more she doesn't have to.

Until Suri comes back on her own one day and it finally sinks in.
