A Lesson
The Yin Water crashed against the ice. But, ironically enough, after years of tempering under its presence, the ice was as sturdy as a steel wall. In addition, without a master or a vessel to contain it, the treasure had weakened considerably over time.
And this was precisely what would give Ryu a chance.
Slowly, but surely, Ryu began to pull the treasured water through the small cracks in the ice.
When the first drop finally reached him, his Yin Water Seed vibrated to life, swallowing it whole.
Though his eyes were closed, Ryu's lip curled into a smirk.
This was the perfect situation. The three below likely sensed the changes by now, but there was nothing they could do, they couldn't even turn their attention away from their own bodies for fear that the cold would reach a location they couldn't turn back from.
