The cold, bitter wind would have stung Ilia's skin if she were an ordinary human. Even still, she felt a slight chill as she flew towards the ruins of ice. Her dragon wings had sprouted from her back, pink and avian, and they prickled with an uneasy feeling. The dragonkin was not used to using them; it had been far too long since she had the chance to fly so freely. She could see them, amongst the icy landscapes of the mountains: The ruins of Ank'harel. They rested on top of the one of the tallest peaks in the range, mostly obscured by clouds, but it was there. Ilia could feel the energy radiating from it as she flew at top speed, it's icy tendrils reaching down even here. Her heart raced as it grew closer, it's shining blue walls now barely visible amidst the blizzard that swirled around her. If there was anywhere she could find the ice dragons, it would be there.

She flew higher and higher, getting closer to the ominous ruins. As she neared the mountain, the wind picked up, causing her to shake in flight. 'That's... probably not good.' Ilia thought, just as a particularly violent torrent of wind slammed into her back, sending her toppling down. Ilia landed with a thud on the snow, her pants being swiftly covered in the white condensation. She turned her head upwards, staring high at the clouds from the base of the mountain. It was the ruins of Ank'harel. She groaned as she lifted her head up, shaking it slightly. 'Guess I'm walking from here.' She thought with a sigh, as the wings disappeared from her back. She lugged herself up, brushing the snow from her clothes and wringing out her hair slightly. Her body was sore and rough, but somehow, she found the ability to stand and keep moving, heading towards a well-worn, if old, trail. This was how the people of Ank'harel travelled to and from their city. Hopefully it would still be functional.

As she walked, her body began to fight against her. It had already been a rough trip, so being forcibly ripped out of the sky was not a very pleasant experience for her. She groaned as she moved up the path, rubbing her bare shoulders. Even as an ice dragon, her skin was starting to feel numb from the cold. 'Ugh. Stupid human blood.' The dragonkin muttered in her mind, continuing to rub her hands together to keep warm. Her dragon blood was keeping her alive; it's very possible she would have freezed to death before now. Suddenly, she noticed a distant figure in the blizzard, slowly moving towards her."Hello there." The voice was masculine, if a wimpery, and a middle-aged man with dark blue hair revealed himself from the ice and snow. "I must say, I'm surprised to see someone all the way up here." He murmured, a smile crossing his face. Ilia was not feeling 100% certain about this guy, "You're one to talk! Who the hell are you?" She demanded, her first reaction to flee. He simply smiled and turned away from her, before moving away from her.

"Hey!" Ilia called after him, racing to catch up. "Hey! Who the hell are you? How are you even alive right now?" She asked, her eyes widening at the man. He turned and gave her a large smile. "My name is Jeremiah, one of the Ishalka, and steward to Princess Josephine." He replied calmly, before turning forward and continuing march Ilia kept pace with him, glaring at him as they walked. "Princess Josephine? Ishalka? Like in the stories?" She asked, frustrated at his obtuse nature. He chuckled, before turning slightly to the left. "Yes, yes, all the stories are true. Shocking, I know." He replied, before motioning to the wall on the side of the trail. There, Ilia saw a cave, pretty small but well enough to keep warm for a while, and glanced back towards the man with a curious look in her eyes. "Please. It's almost nighttime, and you look frozen solid." With that, Ilia nodded and entered the cave, Jeremiah following behind.

"So... The Ishalka have just been living in the ruins of Ank'harel, all this time?" Ilia asked, moving her hands in front of the roaring fire. It had taken a few moments of awkward silence, but they had managed to set up a makeshift fire before sitting down to talk. The man across from her sighed, his blue hair shimmered in the low light. "If you call it living." He responded ominously, causing her to rest her head in her hands. "Seriously? You're gonna pull this crap?" She growled, her head flying up in a fit of frustration. She'd had enough of the whole "mystery man" persona. "Just please explain to me who the Ishalka are, and what you mean by that so we can move on with out lives, please." She didn't mean to sound harsh, but that was Ilia for you. She was very quick to jump to expletives, and didn't seem to realize how much she might be hurting someone before it was too late.

He laughed, his stubbled chin shifting as he began to grin. "Well, you are just a fiesty one, aren't you?" He sighed, shifting onto his back. "What do you want to know?" Shd leaned against the wall, closing her eyes briefly. "Who are the Ishalka? The legends don't really say much." Ilia asked quietly, my voice quiet. "Initially, they were a group of ice mages who sought to succeed from the government. They built a lavish capital city atop a mountain, having called it Ank'harel, and were able to survive the cold conditions due to the magic in their veins. However, their ice magic soon caught up with them." He explained, his voice soft. "Princess Josephine was the first." He finished, his closed. "The Enchantress of Ice." Ilia affirmed, nodding her head in recognition. Even in the Ice Tribe, they discussed this legend. She was an incredibly powerful ice mage, able to turn a person to ice completely with a flick of her fingers.

"What do you mean, their magic caught up with them?" She asked quietly, feeling her eyes close slightly. Even next to the fire, Ilia had begun to feel a slight cold. "It encased Josephine, our princess and ruler, in a wall of ice, and one by one the Ishalka began to transform to ice. It was an epidemic, and we all began to fade over the course of a few hours. I was one of the few lucky who survived, due to my relatively minor magic abilities. However..." Jeremiah revealed his leg, and Ilia was surprised to see it entirely sealed in ice. "I didn't escape unscathed." Jeremiah looked pensive, before taking a glance towards her. Ilia yawned again. She was having a really hard time staying awake. She rolled over to get a better sleeping position, but suddenly noticed a small blue light emanating from Jeremiah's cloak. Magic. "Shiiit, what the hell did you do to me....." Ilia felt her conciousness fade, despite struggling to resist it. Her vision went black.

'Ugh... what the fuuuuuuck.' The throbbing of her head was killing her. Slowly, her eyes rolled open, and she felt a dull, pulsing cold around her ankles. She blinked, suddenly terrified as she realized where she was. Dozens of bricks, icy and blue, lined her vision and she looked forward to see a doorway, covered in bars of ice. Worse yet, it seemed to be upside-down. Or rather, judging by the way she was swinging left and right slightly, she was upside-down. Looking down, she confirmed that theory, seeing she was hanging from the roof in a shackle of ice. "Don't you guys know how unhealthy this is?" She called through the bars, still slightly delirious. Her hair hung from her head, still rippling from magical energy. Suddenly, memories began to rush into her mind. "Jeremiah! You jerk! Get out here!" She yelled, swinging back and forth from the ceiling. She attempted to break the shackle by transforming her foot, but was surprised as the shackles shocked her, returning her foot to normal. "What the fuck is going on..."

"Ah, so the daughter of dragons awakens..." She heard a familiar voice echo through the bars, and she looked up to see Jeremiah standing there, alongside two hooded figures. "What..." She began, suddenly feeling incredibly weak while under his gaze. "What the fuck did you do to me?" She asked, her head still woozy. She gritted her teeth, feeling her body grow cold once more as he laughed, opening her cell and entering the room. He walked around her, and despite her swinging left and right before, Ilia felt like she had no such power now. "Yes, I think you'll do nicely. It's been so long since we had one such as yourself, I was beginning to get worried." He left the room, and I felt my energy dimming again. I could hear him chatting with one of the guards outside the cage as the door slammed shut, but my vision was growing dark. "Remember, if she wakes up again before the ritual, just activate the orb, it'll stop her from causing too much trouble..."

Ilia's eyes flew open, and she glanced around briefly. 'How long was I out?' She thought, glancing at the two guards standing watch. They were the same guards as before, so Ilia assumed it had not been too long. More importantly, they hadn't seemed to notice her awaken. She remembered what Jeremiah had said before leaving, something about using a magic orb to calm her down if she woke up. 'That means I can probably use my dragon abilities right now, but I only have one shot.' She realized, thinking her way through this. But suddenly, as though through divine intervention, both guards began to open her cell door, one coughing something about an examination. She closed her eyes, pretending to be unconcious, until she heard them both standing directly in front of her face. Opening her eyes, she breathed softly onto the two of them, imbuing said breath with the power of the ice dragons, and watched the two of them become encased in ice. Reaching out, she snatched the orb out of one of the guards hands and threw it to the ground, smashing it. Suddenly, her shackle released, and she flew towards the ground, catching herself with her dragon claws. 'Shit. Now what?'
