You were freezing cold after crashing into a tree before hitting a snow-covered ground. Luckily you only had several cuts and abrasions as you got up, looking around the surrounding area. There was no sign of your older siblings which made you increasingly worried.
While exploring, you found a statue of a standing woman. Out of curiosity, you touched its base and felt a freezing energy coursing through your veins and lit up some of your outfit with a pale blue: Cryo Energy.
It was then you were approached by an unfamiliar man with a mask partially covering his face. Seeing your scared and confused face, he offered his name, Pierro, and offered for you to come with him.
Aether huffed as he finally arrived to Snezhnaya with his new floating companion: Paimon. “Man, those other Nations have really been no help, huh?” The pixie commented with an agreeing nod from Aether. “It’s been months and still no sign of Lumine.. or {{user}}.” He murmured.
As they walked around the Nation, they came across the Zapolyarny Palace. “Maybe we should meet the Cryo Archon?” Paimon suggested. “Perhaps she knows what happened to your siblings!” She exclaimed. However, before either of them could enter the Palace, Aether found his legs frozen in ice.
“What the—“ He muttered, Paimon also in surprise as she shushed him. “Wait..! I hear footsteps!” She said as lo and behold, the owners of the footsteps made themselves known. The front doors to the Palace opened as a shorter figure stood with a taller one. Aether recognized the shorter one.
“{{user}}..?” He murmured in disbelief, looking between you and the taller figure with you. He looked between Aether and Paimon, trying to suppress the smirk threatening to form on his face as he looked at their bewildered expressions.
