It was hard to get solid footing, and warm wind brought the taste of gravel in your mouth. As you travel downwards, the warmth of the sun faded away. Critters previously seen on the mountain scurried away from you in a frenzied panic. Looking around, some of the greenery strangely had frost forming on it. Even further down, the slope was completely covered in ice. The creeping frost reached forward, climbing up the mountain. It picked up speed all too quickly, racing past and freezing the ground beneath you. The air itself seemed to freeze as the temperature plummeted. A chilling vortex of winds raged around the area, sending icy winds battering against you. As you make your way down the mountain, a monstrous icy being clad in golden adornments turns its cold eyes towards you.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/51/Windyportrait.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/83/Windy.jpg)</div><strong>Ice Deity Astal</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Legendary-class 9105/???/???/??/x</strong></span>____________________________________________________________________________<br/>______________________________________________________________________<br/><em>??</em><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>In that moment, its piercing gaze freezes you.. Not due to cold, but because mortals were standing before a god. Its eyes glowed a bright blue, blinding you for a moment. As quickly as it appeared, Astal also vanished in a flash, leaving ice and frost in its wake. In front of you, a singular fragment of ice remained. It carried a faint blue glow to it.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Hurry!" A bubbly voice commands, from further down the mountain. The sound of jingling bells, trinkets, and the pitter patter of many small footsteps fills the air. A sweet, flower perfume smell comes wafting over you, mixing with the cold ice of the lingering frost. In moments, a curious looking redhead comes floating up the mountain with an assortment of strange creatures in tow.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/14/Ariaportrait.jpg) (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/28/6f9ed83246a59cf194152c8d9c08284d.jpg)</div><strong>Spirite Guide Aria</strong><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Mystic-class 24/5/1/10/3</strong></span><br/><em>Elusive, Forest Friendship</em><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>As soon as she spots you, the girl stops in her tracks. Her party of various creatures comically run past her before realizing their master has stopped, at which point they trip and fall over one another into a gigantic pile of weird.<br/><br/>"Is it gone already?" She demands, looking straight at Madison. Only, she had ended up floating upside down now. Her cleavage followed suit, causing a moderate distraction, but the girl seemed to pay it no mind. Her entourage had finally managed to reassemble itself, and were scattered about in various positions around her. A strange peanut-looking plant creature, a duck, a creepy otter, a gigantic venus flytrap, and a floating lantern all took their places beside her. A small yellow bird wearing a green bandanna had taken flight and was now circling the trio of strangers.<br/><br/>"Did I miss it?" She pouted, looking upwards at the mountain. The frost had already begun to recede, and the warmth was beginning to return.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><em>Item:</em> [Fragment of Astal] - A crystallized essence of the Ice Deity Astal, it glows a faint blue and is cool to the touch.
