Niya led the way to the Frost Valley; Sendra soared beside me; she was almost touching me, feeling my warmth. We separated not too long ago, and she is acting like we met many years later.
"We have reached!" Niya said, I gazed down as Sendra followed me.
"What is this place?" I mumble in astonishment and look below me. It was a volcano, frozen in ice. Every place was made out of an entire crystal as it reflected the shining light coming from the hole in the clouds.
Everything there looked so unreal and beautiful. As if this place came straight from another world.
Sendra notices my amazed expression. She couldn't help but chuckle and said as she pulled me into her embrace. "I know you would make this expression when you see this for the first time, I had the same feeling when I came here. This place is anything but unlike what I have seen before."
I felt her cold hands gently rubbing my hair. My entire focus was on the Valley, and I didn't speak a word. "I was not expecting to be in this place, is stunning. I thought it would be a dangerous place."
"This is a dangerous place. Only the fairy and that fairy-eating demon could come in. If any other creatures of humans tried to enter, they would be frozen in mere moments." Niya explained and finally left my clothes. Her wings flicker in the air. She went towards the frozen crystal valley. Niya turned around and looked at us.
"Don't stand there; follow me." Without any more delay, Sendra and I followed her. As we descended towards the ground. The temperature instantly dropped, and my skin was covered in a thin ice layer.
(Warning, temperature surrounding the Host has reached -100. Host, leave this place immediately now.)
System said with desperate pleading in my head, however, I couldn't hear her due to the freezing chill, and my mind became numb.
"It... It's so... Cold. I can't bear this... I will freeze here if I don't leave now." The ice layer on my skin continues to grow. There was no storm in the valley, but I felt I was fighting against an invincible wind.
[Don't give up, it's nothing the cold compares to the marching wind in the Ice realm.]
Sendra was also struggling in the cold. But as Ice Queen, she could bear this much cold. However, when she saw me, I was freezing from this and hardly able to open my eyes. Sendra instantly hugged me from behind to give warmth to my body. "Xzson, are you feeling okay? We should leave, now. You cannot withstand—"
"No, I will be okay! Keep moving forward!" I interrupted Sendra and urged her to continue on the ice. She was shocked to see I wanted to keep going in this cold, even though my body was shaking.
Listening to me, Sendra's eyes wide open in shock. "Xzson, have you lost your mind? You will die if you continue to move in this cold. We should retrieve."
"No... I've made... My decision... I want to go to the fairyland."
Sendra could look at me with a shocked and worried face. She couldn't understand why I wanted to go to fairyland. It's a place where demons and corruption have made their life unlivable. As she saw my determination, Sendra knew I wouldn't change my mind. She held my body tightly and assisted me in this cold.
"What? Just a little bit more? I'm almost there!"
Niya went forward and passed through the spiral snow layer. Sendra immediately created a magical barrier around one another at the child in her belly.
[We are there!]
I heard Frosty's voice the last time before I lost consciousness.

"Huh! Where am I?" I opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was two soft, cold breasts.
"Xzson, you are awaken! You are frightening me, I'm so glad you are unharmed. Are you feeling unwell? Tell now, the ice magic could have after-effects later on the body." Sendra was searching my body for any visible effects of the extreme cold from Frost Valley. She opened my shirt and pants; she didn't let any palace of my body go unnoticed.
As she was busy, I looked around and saw my surroundings.
However as I saw the first thing, I couldn't able to believe in my eye ."What is this place!"
As far as I can see, the horizon, grasslands, trees, and mana surged within the earth.
"I did not expect this place to be like this; it is so beautiful and warming. This even feels great after coming from freezing to have such a comforting place." I inhaled a fresh air and looked at the beautiful.
Soon later, I saw a familiar fairy coming towards me. "Hero, welcome to the fairyland. This is my home where I was born and my home Eldorwyn tree only few minutes away from here. Please follow me. Our queen is waiting for you."
