Hiss~

The voice of the frozen snake came from the door entrance of the frozen temple. I looked at the entrance of the temple with a sense of tiredness creeping over my scalp.

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

I coughed a lot out of the coldness in the atmosphere. My body is trembling a lot, freezing in the white snow on the frozen lake. I walked in front of the door to the ice shrine. I felt the cold wind on my cheek, making my strands of black hair blow in the air. I heard the sounds of blue fireflies chirping on the edges of frozen leaves on the sides of leaves. My nose became sore, not letting me take in the smell of the surroundings.

I touch the door of the frozen temple, feeling the cold hard surface across my palms. I brought the keys, which I got from those Knights, into the lock. [Clink!] With a little noise, the lock was unlocked.

I looked above the snake's head at the center of the door. It was looking at me with great animosity and hissing its tongue at me. It can't do anything then; I don't have the sufficient magic to kill this beast yet. For now it's better to leave this weird thing alone; the main priority is to find Mom, Silvia, and return home safely.

I pushed the door, with some effort on my little palms, to open this completely.

Shriek! BAM! BAM!

The door was opened wholly, revealing the icy blue interior of the temple. Everything here is made up solely of ice. I looked at them with a hint of curiosity about these drawings available on both sides of the ceilings.

What are they getting at?

I looked at them with extraordinary curiosity about their origins. Each one of the drawings carved in the ceiling had some meaning to me, but I didn't know how… I wanted to know more about them.

I walked a little inside; the interior and architecture were a completely different world but still can be compared to traditional French Orthodox churches found in France. But it was also a fusion of ancient Indian temples in designs, and certain aspects highlighted it more often.

*Flip* *Flip* *Flip* *Flip*

I flipped through the books that were kept on the desk, scanning them page by page just to get the basic information from them about the lore of this world.

Like novels and TV shows that keep telling a new world, this world plunged me with so many fine details I have neither seen before in my real world.

These drawings were indicating a different story about the origins of this world.

Someday I'll figure out about it, and at the end I'll return to my real world. I looked at the statues which were placed both sides from the entrance to the main hall. Even one of them carried different weapons in their hands.

Slip~ Slip~ Slip~ Slip~

I placed my hands on each one of them, brushing off the rough frozen ice surface as I walked at main hall.

I looked at main hall's big statue of Two persons. Two persons was a demon and angel with their hands wrapped around each others. From the Satan's face there several horns and furious dragon like teeth. It was as if wearing a dragon humanoid armour like I weared before. He had placed both of his sharp clawed arms around the waist of angelic women. From the back of the angel there was several beautiful wings like patterns emerged strikingly from her uniquely designed armour which I never seen before. From her face, they two strings of tears falling off from her atheistic face.

My eyes and mouth widened by this statue. Hat's off to the legendary sculptor who made this statue, his skills are otherworldly indeed!

I scratched my cheek with my index finger. I swiped the dust away on the statue's lower part where something was blurry written on it with my both arms. I felt the coldness spreading on it. I heard some ice cracks cracking on it's ice surface. I wiped my nose before I sneeze, I inhaled the snowy air in the ice temple through my mouth and I exhaled with a sigh.

「What this passage means actually?」

I can't read this foreign language. This is really written another language which I never knew from daris's memory. What the hell this means?

I sighed.

Who cares what it means, the priority is to reach mom and Silvia. Then I accidentally touch in another part of statue. Then Suddenly—

Bang! Zak! Zak!

Statue started to move left side of main hall. The whole big statue just moved to the right mechanically. Then I saw a hidden pathway to the ground inside the floor…

Foosh! Foosh! Foosh! Foosh!

The blue torches lit up from the both sides of the hidden pathway. I heard the sounds of rumbling ground from the floor. I felt the shaking ground from back and forth direction. I sniffed my nose 2-3 times to lose some of my liquids to the floor. I still coughed, trembled and sneezed as I placed my foot onto the ladder placed down towards earth.

Crack! Crack! Creak! Creak!

As I walked by the ladder descending down to a tunnel like pathway. I heard the repeated sound of ice cracking with I'm walking.

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

I constantly coughed and sneezed until I losed my breath. I need rest not til I meet both of them. I walked some distance further where this tunnel leads me to. Then I reached a center of the tunnel where multiple ice tunnel inside in it. This is where I get struck the most!

Which path will lead me to mom and Silvia?

I took the turn to choose the middle tunnel to reach them. I walked more and more inside but there this way would end anyways. I was more sickly and turn on by my fever.

I can't bear the coldness… anymore…

I need a warm rest…

My eyes dozing off from excessive pushing my body to the limit. My legs walking pace drastically become slow and slow as the time went. My stomach is grumbling with hunger like my belly was fully empty.

Grumble ~

Crack ~ Crack ~ Crack~ Crack~

I lost all of my energy, mana and other things I'd used until now. I kept walking and walking on. Until I reached a room.

My vision was now completely blurry to the point I could get unconscious at any time.

Crack ~ Crack~

I fell into the icy floor.

Bump!

I felt the sharp coldness of the ground on my entire body. I heard my heart beat getting lower and lower… From my nose blood dripping out like a tiny river and I could feel the pain from it. My vision got narrower. From my mouth saliva gushed out from and slowly turned into ice.

I raised my hand to stand up again and but I touched something else.

It seemed to be a egg?

Right middle of a room?

I felt some warmth flowing from it…

I'm going to have an eternal rest from now on…

I wanted to see both of my moms and silvia again.

I wanted to see my real world again…

But now…

Shine!

「OH NO MY SON?!」

I heard familiar voice.

My mom…

I fell into eternal… unconciousness….
