The Blooming Cold

Intro ✨️Part 1 ✨️ In a world where the changing of the seasons maintains balance, the golden egg is the key. Every year, it is passed from the Winter Realm to the Spring Realm in a sacred ceremony, signaling the shift from cold to warmth, from death to rebirth. But this year, the golden egg is missing, and without it, the transition is in jeopardy. 🪷 From her perspective 🪷 The first light of dawn filtered through her treehouse, casting patterns on the floor. She smiled, gazing outside at the snow-covered flowers, knowing spring was near. Today was the day the golden egg would be passed from Winter to Spring, and she had been chosen as the Guardian of the Egg. She stepped outside, feeling the cool morning air. The snow lingered, but the world was already waking up. Animals stirred, and fireflies danced in the early light. Everything was ready for the transition. ❄️ From his perspective ❄️ Kryo awoke to the cold, gray light of the Winter Realm. The pressure of the day settled on him as he prepared for the sacred ceremony. This year, however, something felt off. Tension hung in the air, making it hard to breathe. Dressed in his ceremonial cloak, Kryo walked through the Winter Palace, where guards hurried by with grim faces. He reached the Elder’s room, but when the door opened, the stone pedestal was empty. “The egg is missing,” the Elder said gravely. Kryo’s heart sank. “What do you mean, missing?” “Someone has taken it,” the Elder replied. “Without it, the ceremony cannot proceed. The seasons are out of balance.” Panic surged through Kryo. “Who took it? Where is it?” The Elder’s eyes darkened. “There are forces at work here, forces we don’t fully understand. You must find the egg—before it’s too late.” With a heavy heart, Kryo set off for the Spring Realm. Time was running out.
