- Night.
Just as Aks'sha had said, that night, a grand feast was held in the heart of the Eternal Ice Citadel. It was a celebration in honor of the return of the Blue Saint Dragon, Princess Anugerah bin Iceland, and a warm welcome for the Savior, Taufik, along with the rest of his family.
Outside, a relentless blizzard howled through the towering peaks, and the cold breath of the eternal ice carved its way through the night like a ghostly whisper. Yet within the walls of the ancient castle, it was a different world altogether.
The great hall glowed with golden light, reflected on crystal chandeliers and icicle-carved pillars. Fires crackled in ornate hearths, casting dancing shadows across tapestries woven with the history of the castle itself.
The air was rich with the scent of roasted meats, spiced wine, and sweet northern fruits. Music filled the space, soft, lilting melodies that rose above the laughter and the clinking of goblets.
