The Ice Dragon’s Trial

Early in the morning, Melina woke up sleeping next to Athena and Apollo, whom she had used during the night as a pillow.

The princess ended up raising a small shack for everyone to sleep in with a fire enchantment to keep it warm, and they were happy to see that the day was totally clear, with barely any clouds in the sky.

Relishing the opportunity, the group quickly mounted Arashi's back after having a quick breakfast and began their search.

It took them a few hours, and Melina was starting to feel like they had scouted the entire frozen waste from how fast they were going until Arashi abruptly stopped mid-air.

"What's wrong?" Melina asked her companion.

"There…" the dragon replied, focusing her vision on a tilted tower in the distance, which was barely visible as there was snow and ice covering half of it.
