"We picked up on it when I was in a deadly carriage accident and my wounds disappeared."

Anah looked at her sister. She cupped her cheek and cried softly, tears of joy. "Elina, thank you."

"That's why I want to help you."

Anah pulled her sister into another hug. "What if I hurt you and you can't fix it?"

"I healed someone on the brink of death. I'm stronger when healing myself."

Anah released her. "So, now what?" she asked. Her fingers brushed across the glassy floor.

"Come home with me."

"I can't," she responded quickly. "They all hate me there."

"No one hates you. I promise."

"How do you know?" she pressed.

"Because most of them have forgotten you," Elina replied softly.

Anah was shocked. "What?!"

"You've been unseen for what? 14 years?"

Anah tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "Oh yeah… that. You lose track of time when you live up here.

"But we'll make them remember you in the right way."

Anah bit her lip. “How?”

"We'll show them the things you can do with ice. Like when we showed what I could do with healing."

“What I can do with ice,” Anah said, biting back her venom towards the statement, “is let it fall from the sky when I get mad.” She wasn’t mad at her sister, just herself.

"What about sculptures? Skating rinks? Snowmen?"

Anah perked up at “snowmen”, but her enthusiasm quickly faded. “It’s a long shot,” she answered.

"Hey," Elina said. "If I can save someone who's on the brink of death, you can make a snowman."

Anah took a deep breath. Her sister was relying on her. She conjured up a snowball.

"Try to make it bigger. Focus on what you want to create."

"Easy for you to say," Anah retorted, but she knew that Elina was trying to help. Slowly, the snowball grew in size.

"Yes! You're doing it! Just a bit more!"

Anah began to get lightheaded, but she didn't show it until… the second she was finished, she collapsed, her eyes rolling back into her head.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa," Elina said, kneeling besides her sister. Placing a hand on Anah's forehead, she healed her.

"Mmmm… I told you it was a long shot," Anah murmured when she came out of her daze.

"No, it's OK. We'll start small."

Anah sighed. "We'll see." A sudden thought occurred to her. "Who is leading the kingdom if you and I are both up here, Elina?"
