In the courtyard of the Ice Queen, Carmilia, was a harsh and unforgiving place. Surrounded by towering walls of ice, the air itself seemed to freeze with every breath. Snow swirled constantly in a controlled storm, a testament to Carmilia's mastery over the element. In the center of the courtyard, Lila stood, her body trembling with cold and exhaustion, yet her eyes remained determined.

"Again," Carmilia commanded, her voice as sharp and cold as the wind that bit into Lila's skin. "Form the Ice Jade in your mana flow, and this time, do it properly."
