Waking up Zeke look around the Igloo, and Vera was Nowhere to be seen, he Crawls outside the igloo, a few steps from the igloo he saw a Hole, Inside is a Freezing Water from the Ocean, Looking Confused Zeke tries to Dip his Head inside to see what's inside, But remembering what happen to him back then, so he abandon the Idea and instead Stare closely at the water.
Suddenly Vera Resurface from the Hole, Zeke Jumps Backwards as he is Surprise to see Vera
"Vera, What were you doing down there?" Zeke asked
as She Resurface she said "Thought you three might be hungry after the sleep, so i went hunting."
"There's a better way to Fish other than Straight up Diving down into the water." said Zeke as helps himself up
"Well It's our way to Hunt Fish, we Straight went in and Catch 'em by hand."
"Aren't you called?" ask Zeke
"Of course, not unlike you We polar bears has been used to this Climate." said Vera as She Toss the Fishes to Zeke
"Thanks, Now Lets found out how we can Cook this." Said Zeke as he took a look at the Fishes
"Well if we can't cook it just eat it Raw." said Vera as she took one of the fish and takes out her Knife
"Raw?, no thanks." Decline Zeke
Vera Skinned the Fishes Scales, and Cuts it into half as Zeke watches, She put one side to the side, then Cut the other side to thick, small Piece
"Here try some." said Vera as she Offer Zeke some of the Piece
Zeke takes it from her hand and eat it in One bite, He's surprised that it's isn't as bad as he Expected
"See... it's not bad right." said Vera reacting to Zeke's face
"I never thought Cutting it into half." said Zeke
"Well then How are you eating it then?" ask Vera
"I usually ate it On the side, and usually there's like a Paper thin piece that I don't like." said Zeke
Vera look shocked and said "You didn't skinned it first?"
"Skinned? never heard of it."
"Thought Landers are smarter."
"well I'm a Zellberg Citizens."
"That Low the Rate by a lot." said Vera
"Oi!, you two are awake." said Nero as he Crawls out from the Igloo
"Morning Nero, How's your sleep?" ask Zeke
"Fine."

"Oi Don't block the way with your Body!" Shout Lado from inside the Igloo
"Wait a Second, I'm Trying Crawl out." as Nero Tried to wiggle his way out, "Ok, I think I's Stuck." said Nero
"Here, can you put your hand outside?" ask Vera
"Here!" said Nero as he Pulls out the Palms of his hands
Vera then Grabs on to It pulling Nero out from the Crawl space
"Wow you're a Strong Lady." said Nero as Vera Hangs him up
Suddenly The igloo Collapses On top of Lado
"You alright?" ask Zeke
Lado Replies "I'm still alive, so I might be dead."
"C'mon We are Pretty close." Said Vera
"well then Pack up, we'll go now." said Lado
After packing up they continues their walk, as they walk the sky starts to get more sinister. A strong Gus of wind Tries to Blow them Off track, But luckily they find a Cave to shelter in,
"we're here!" said Zeke as his Staff kept sensing a strong Aura Of energy coming from the cave
"Shall we?" ask Nero
"wait, since we're to close to the lips of the cave we should go further in." said Vera\
they all agree and heads deeper into the cave, there they found a Place to Start, Both Zeke, and Nero sat Down, Closing their eyes, slowly their body stops moving, from there They have entered the Soul Realm, Unlike the Few from the real world, Zeke, and Nero are in a Castle, Behind them that was once an entrance of a cave, Now is a Closed off Metal door, sealed tight from outside, the castle itself Feels abandoned, There are enormous Scratches on the walls, They Proceed forward Expecting nothing is wrong.
Then They have Came across a room, there they see the Cryo crystal Displayed in the middle, on the opposite side they saw a Huge wall Of ice Reflecting their Movement, even so they still ignores it and Proceed to Go closer to the Crystal, Suddenly they saw Another movement on the from the Reflection, They Flick back, and saw Nothing,
After seeing nothing They turn back facing ice wall and saw a Figure Behind them, Feeling spooked Zeke, and Nero Turns back, they saw nothing, Looking back Zeke saw the Figure still Standing at the place they were, One Figure strikes Nero, He felt Physical pain from it Even though Nero saw no one is In front of him, Felt confused what he must do, Zeke puncture His Staff on the ice, He uses his staff as a Reference Shining a Light on where the Figure is standing on Zeke's Perspective.
"Attack!" shout Zeke
Followed by Nero Attacking the figure that attacked him, Seeing Nero Armed the Figure Creates its Own weapon with it's own shadowy form, Since Zeke is unarmed Nero passes his Dagger to Zeke as a Self defense, Unable to see where they're swinging their weapon, Zeke is hit on the Left Eye lid, Luckily it didn't went Further in, Holding the pain Zeke Swings his Dagger randomly, then the Figure Takes the better of him by making him fall over, and Disarming him.
He Crawls back in panic and to the corner of the room, the Figure follows him until Zeke is in a Side of a wall where it blocks Zeke from the mirror, there he assumed that The Figure See them Through the mirror like how He and Nero only sees them only in the mirrors, or The Creatures are invisible, and can only bee seen Through the mirror, neither way it's a Fifty Fifty percent chance one of them is correct, they could lose their only weapon against the Figures,
"Nero! Come here!" Shout Zeke across the Room, Nero Sprints To Zeke's Location, he sits down with Zeke and ask "Why are you here?"
"Throw out your weapon first!" said Zeke
"You Crazy?" Ask Nero
"Just do it!" said Zeke
"You better have an Explanation to do!" said Nero
"Look, They're following the knife, they only see thing from the mirror, or from Reflective items." said Zeke
"So.... what's the plan?" ask Nero
"we can Destroys the mirror." said Zeke
"Good Idea but how?"
"I know!" said Zeke as he Stands up and Sprints
"You weren't saying the Sprinting Closer to death was the Idea!" shout Nero
Zeke sprints To retrieve his staff, and Pullin git out from the Ground, and use a spell to create smoke so they can Sneak away
"NERO! GO I GOT THE CRYTALS!!" Shout Zeke as he retrieve the Crystal, suddenly in the real world The snow storm stopped, and Clears out,
as Both of them Sprints away from the room, Both Figures Combined into on Enormous invisible Creature, It can not be seen but each step it takes shakes the Ground, in the Soul realm, and the Real world, as they reached their real Body, they returned back to their original body
"That was Quick." said Vera
"welcome back so how was the adventure, have you two found it?" ask Lado
"Yes, yes we have."
"You two must be hungry, here i cook some for you." said Lado
"Thanks."
