*Trayah is unable to reach out to Arylyra--it feels as if the whirling petals are hindering his attempt.*

“Hrrrmm, the petals seem to be hindering my ability to reach Arylyra... she is probably focussing all her energy there at the moment,” Trayah muses, after his failed attempt to contact her. “I really don’t want to release the Lord of Winter, now I’ve felt his power, but we have no choice if we wish Arylyra’s power and wisdom to fight the darkness. Is there anything either of you can do to remove the petals from the air?”

*Lyssa casts a spell, but nothing happens.*
"I can't...I am sorry. Could you channel them, somehow? They seem to contain positive spirit energy or some such."

*It seems that Lyssa probably didn't sense it innately, since she tried something first--she must have puzzled it out logically.*
*Trayah channels the positive energy, and the petals descend and whirl around the four of them, spinning faster and faster and infusing them all with healing light and brilliant colour before fading away.*
(OOC: This spends a turn/rebuke attempt--
Trayah recovers 34 of the cold nonlethal
Obscurity recovers 33
Whinoah recovers 28
Everyone gains the effect of Heroism)
*But with the petals gone, the idyllic peaceful aura evaporates, and there is a great rumbling, as the great King of Winter stirs and awakens:*
"So, after countless milennia, my slumber is ended...I am free!" the Legendary Spirit exults.
*An overwhelmingly awesome deific level of pure raw power bursts outward from its icy scales, pouring outward toward the door and the portal to the outer world. When it is done, the King of Winter still remains, though his sheer aura of menace seems greatly diminished, as if his true essence has fled here.*
"You could have been my Queen, but you dared to spurn me, wench. I shall shatter you here and sculpt the remnants into a simpering pet to grace my icy halls!" he speaks to Arylyra, ignoring the others for the moment as he turns his attention menacingly to the spirit still trapped in the ice.
(OOC: The King of Winter has no regard for gnats such as ye--you automatically win initiative if you choose to react)

*Arylyra's strength seems to have temporarily weakened--while the King of Winter was quiescent for all this time and building strength, Arylyra had to expend great energy to keep him trapped. Now that her seal is broken, it will take her some time to recover.*
