Deep frost oblivion ( part one)

In the frigid, snow-covered landscape near Mount Everest, Belle's family clung to life amidst a fierce snowstorm. Belle, just sixteen, her younger brother John, their father Palmer, mother Elena, grandfather Sir David, little sister Sofia, and Belle's close friend Dorothy huddled together. They wore layers of thick clothing against the biting cold, each holding onto ropes anchored to the rocks with iron hooks to prevent being swept away by the gale.

Elena cradled twelve-year-old Sofia tightly to her chest, shielding her from the harsh wind. The storm was intensifying; they could feel its power growing as the skies darkened with an ominous, thickening snow.

"Prepare yourselves, Belle and Dorothy; we're relying on you," Sir David urged with a tone of urgency.

Belle and Dorothy steadied themselves, ready to confront the storm with their unique abilities. Belle, gifted with the power to control frost, conjured a shield of ice that adhered their group to the side of the mountain, ensuring they wouldn't be displaced by the wind's fury. Dorothy, whose powers allowed her to manipulate reality, was ready to play her part. As the storm's intensity peaked, she summoned green Tao Mandalas around her hands. With a focused gesture, she altered the storm's density, making it less threatening.

As the storm raged on, Belle felt the strain of using her powers as she had used too much cosmic energy. "Sir David, have you recovered yet? This storm isn't letting up, and I'm using too much cosmic energy. I can't slow it down any further. Dorothy, can you do something?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.

"Yeah, just give me a second," Dorothy replied, her concentration deepening. The Tao Mandalas on her hands multiplied, now three encircled each palm. With this increased power, she slowed the storm to a crawl. "Wait, you can do that?" Belle asked, staring at Dorothy in amazement. The snowflakes hung in the air, drifting in slow motion, a sight that captivated everyone.

They all looked to Sir David, who had the potential to transport them away from their perilous perch. Belle and Dorothy were already taxed, their reserves of cosmic energy depleting rapidly. Blue light began to emanate from the izigan tattoos on Belle's arms, signaling her deep connection to the earth izigan clan. Sir David's hands also started to glow blue, readying to unleash his power. Suddenly, a large glass barrier slammed into them, and they were thrust into a mirror dimension. Though still on the mountain, the world around them shifted until they found themselves in a spot free from the storm's wrath.

However, they remained on the mountain's slope. Abruptly, a glass-like dimensional portal opened beneath them. They jumped through, landing safely at the mountain's base. As they looked back, the mountain itself seemed to transform into glass and shifted away, returning to its original location.

"Wow, we made it out of that heavy storm, all thanks to your efforts. Now, we need to find shelter," Palmer said, his voice filled with relief and warmth. They soon spotted a large snow cave and made their way inside. Elena carried Sofia, while John, Dorothy, and Belle followed closely. The cave was deep and expansive, a temporary sanctuary for them.

Their stay was not just for shelter but for a specific purpose yet to unfold.

outside the snow cave, palmer and sir david scanned the icy wilderness around them. "it looks like we've managed to escape for now. what do you think? we don't fully understand his powers, but we've put some distance between us. we should be safe here for the time being. we'll move again in four days. you know him better, father; what is he really like?" palmer asked sir david.

"that boy's plan might actually work. we could trap him for good," sir david responded thoughtfully.

"do you really trust him? the idea sounds risky, but i'll support it if you believe it will work," palmer said, looking for reassurance.

"yes, we should be safe here for now. don't worry too much about his full powers; our priority is keeping sofia safe. i've placed us under the protection of the glass dimension. he shouldn't be able to find us here. let's head back inside. remember, no one is to light a fire—it would shatter the glass dimension from within. we'll use dorothy's glow balls for warmth," sir david explained as they headed back into the cave.

meanwhile, far from the icy landscapes, in Galaxia up above Earth, stella, cole, and kenneth gathered in a small room for a significant discussion.

"wait, the council approved the call-out? that's great! all izigans will come to train and discover their true purpose," kenneth said enthusiastically.

"kenneth, why is cole here? i thought this conversation was just between us," stella said, giving kenneth a puzzled look.

"don't underestimate him, stella. cole has unlocked the era location eyes, becoming only the second person among the mage izigan clan history to do so. you know what people with his abilities are capable of," kenneth defended.

"i'm not as impressed by the powers of the era location eyes. and how did you manage to unlock that ability, cole? it took lord Ember thirty years to fully awaken the final stage of the era location eyes, yet you achieved it in just seven months after the Henderson incident," stella challenged cole, her tone a mix of curiosity and skepticism.

Cole's frustration was evident as he addressed the council's decision. "Despite my achievements, the council refuses to promote me. I should be ranked the same as you, Stella, but they still judge me by my brother's past actions, fearing I might follow in his footsteps," he said.

"We can't be sure," Stella replied cautiously.

"So, you agree with them? Well, Is not just my abilities or the surprise they cause. We should focus on why we're here. Lord Orion assigned you to monitor The-void's movements, and it seems you've lost track of him. I'm worried The-void could become the greatest threat we've ever faced," Cole explained earnestly.

Stella was taken back. "Wait, how do you know about my secret mission? And why do you seem to know more about this than I do? Kenneth, what have you told him that I don't know?" she asked, her confusion mounting.

"He wields the Era location eyes, Stella. Have you forgotten that?" Kenneth interjected, trying to remind her of Cole's unique abilities.

"This boy's abilities doesn't fascinate me." Stella said.

"I'm 21, Stella. You should address me as a man not boy," Cole said firmly.

"I'm 36, you're still a boy to me, Cole," Stella countered.

"36? Fair enough, you look 21," Cole quipped.

"Oh, you thought I was about your age? You look 18. Even Kenneth sometimes thinks you're 18," Stella retorted.

"I don't look 18. Have you seen my muscles lately? I change my cell suit every week. Honestly, anyone would say you look 21," Cole argued, half-joking.

"Can we get over this age discussion? We were talking about The-void here," Kenneth interjected, clearly annoyed by the tangent.

Cole looked gravely at the council members. "The-void's cosmic energy is unlike anything we've encountered before. In the council's battle against The-void, it was discovered that its energy is a dimensional opposite to ours," he explained.

Stella raised an eyebrow. "And what does that mean?"

"It suggests that The-void might not be from our world. It's likely from another dimension or universe," Cole responded.

Stella laughed loudly, then said, "You make it sound like there's a whole multiverse out there. Come on, Cole, we're not in a Marvel movies. There's no such thing as multiple dimensionsn or multiverse."

Cole's expression didn't change. "If we weren't Izigans and didn't have cosmic energies, you wouldn't have believed me if I told you about our own powers either or if something like that existed. There is a lot we don't know."

Kenneth nodded in agreement. "He's got a point there."

Stella looked from Kenneth back to Cole. "So, what's your plan?"

Cole took a deep breath. "To defeat The-void, we need to construct an alternate loop dimension—a reality parallel to ours but crafted through tricky maneuvers and sealing acts."

Stella's impatience was clear. "Why not just say 'construct a reality'? Cole, please, get to the point."

Cole continued, unfazed. "The-void has been labeled a cosmic entity because we don't fully understand its nature. It's essentially a living dust matter that has lost its original form for reasons unknown. What's worse, it has been targeting the Vixen family because of their rare cosmic energy to use them as temporary vessels.

But the immediate threat is that it's after the Vixen with the highest cosmic energy."

Kenneth's curiosity peaked. "And who is that person?"

"It's Sofia, Sir David's granddaughter," Stella responded.

"Wait, you mean Sir David? Lord David, the former council member and also former head of the Earth Izigans? His granddaughter is a vixen?" Kenneth was incredulous.

"Yes, that's right. Wait, shouldn't we alert them? He will be coming after them," Stella said, her voice tinged with urgency.

"I've already informed them beforehand. It's not just about escaping; it's also about testing some of his old tools that involve constructing reality," Cole interjected.

Kenneth looked confused. "What do you mean by that?"

Stella took over the explanation. "Sir David has the strongest construct reality, a dimension where no cosmic being can use its cosmic energy. It's nearly impenetrable."

Kenneth was trying to understand the plan. "Wait, let me get this straight—are they using Sofia as bait or something? I thought they were going to take her somewhere safe?"

Cole nodded solemnly. "The-void can sense its target even if they are hidden in another dimension. We have to try this; trusting in Sir David's powerful construct reality is our only hope now to seal this entity. This is a tactic the council would never have considered, and sometimes we need to work smarter, not harder. Sir David and his family are currently in position, ready to execute the plan."

Cole had laid out his plan with Sir David meticulously; they were both confident of its success. Sir David's expertise in glass and mirrors dimensional technique, coupled with his geographical knowledge and manipulation, would be vital. "And if our initial approach fails, we've prepared a plan B," Cole explained. The scheme had seemed outlandish at first, but now it was starting to fall into place.

Kenneth, scratching his head, finally spoke up. "It sounds more and more plausible by the minute, but what's our next move?"

We wait," Cole replied, his eyes scanning the room for doubt or dissent. "We see how things unfold and hope our plans hold together. It's a brilliant idea, Cole—risky and perhaps a bit mad—but I like it. The fate of this now rests with the Palmer family."
