The giant eagle carried Shasta as it sped across the landscape.
With the protection of Ice Jade Marrow, the cold and blizzards indeed greatly diminished their impact on her.
The numerous Ice Blades that seemed to split her bones also dissipated; her body entered a state of constant temperature.
She flew for half a day and found Cold Wave Lake, two hundred li away.
It was a huge, unfrozen lake, resembling a blue gemstone embedded in the pale earth, except an island in the middle of the lake marred the gemstone.
Shasta quickly met Valia by the lake and took an immediate liking to this sister.
Valia was not yet thirty, still underage.
But to summarize a unique species with human common sense was clearly unwise; the considerably extended growth period made the age boundaries of Frost Tribe people quite blurred.
Valia was undoubtedly fully grown.
