*Trayah opens the door, revealing a swirling portal, a vortex into elsewhere. Walking through, Trayah and Obscurity feel a strange unsettling feeling of disorientation, and then they are...elsewhere. Before vision returns, Trayah suddenly feels more powerful spirit energy than he has ever felt before, much more powerful, making Angiat's flame seem like a tiny insignificant candle. The next feeling is the cold in the room, much more extreme than anything before, a boreal chill that threatens to overwhelm. The next thing is the isolation--Trayah feels as if this place has been completely cut off from the Spirit World. None of his spirits but Amanal have contact with him here--this place must have become disconnected from other places somehow, perhaps to keep something locked within, inaccessible to any spirits who would wish to tamper.*
*Now the ordinary senses return. Lyssa gasps. Ahead of them is a pathway made entirely out of beautiful crystalline ice, twisting into spiral icy stairs up and around to a magnificent platform, on which stands a colossal chunk of ice enveloping a female figure with shimmering hair, bedecked in flowers, a being of indescribable beauty. Curled around the icy prison is a sleeping dragon of titanic size, translucent and sparkling, as if chiseled entirely from ice that shines like diamonds. Swirling around and above the dragon and the imprisoned woman in ice, a beautiful flurry of flower petals, every colour of the rainbow, drifts lazily and beautiful in an unseeable ethereal zephyr, making a prismatic collage in the air above.*

“By all that is good! No wonder I only felt a fleeting sense of Arylyra, surrounded as she is by ice and her titanic foe. I never imagined the Lord of Winter would be so... immense... though I am not surprised by his power,” Trayah whispers, shivering as he takes in the scene before them. “Well, we have made it this far... now for our final and most difficult trial... to awaken Arylyra and leave with our hides intact.”
OOC: Does the separation from the spirit world mean, as I think it does, that Trayah can’t recover spells here?

"I agree..." Lyssa begins to shiver, the first sign of discomfort despite her relatively light clothing, "We should move quickly."
*She casts a quick spell and gestures to the pathway of ice.*

“I doubt we have to kill the dragon, Rowanne. We probably just have to melt the ice and call on Arylyra, though what the Lord of Winter will do then is anyone’s guess... hopefully, he considers us too insignificant to worry about,” Trayah answers, stepping onto the path and heading for the frozen female.

"Perhaps. Shall we approach, or blast with fireballs from here?"

“Well, I don’t know about you two, but I have no significant fire magics left. I used them all in getting to this point, and I have lost my connection to the Spirit World in this place, so cannot even recover such magics here. Hrrrmm, I think trying to approach first might be the best idea, as I don’t know if fire magaic will even weaken the block of ice around Arylyra, especially in such close proximity to the Lord of Winter,” Trayah replies, continuing towards the frozen female.
