In a sunny day the birds tweet, the wind blows softly and the water sparkles like crystals, in the dojo "Wreck" teaches "Tika" how he cooks.

Wreck:-are you following?

Tika:-it's hard.

Wreck:-no, you have to believe that you can do it , this might be too much but the heart says it's not, so don't sweat it.

Tika:-right…I'll do my best.

"Yaguto" does his warm up exercise, "Shimarai" does his target practice and "Stella" starts from the beginning.

Yaguto:-you know? Now I'm starting to feel bored of all this.

Shimarari:-feeling bored? All I feel is pain on my fingers.

Yaguto:-is it about the bow? ...it has been a few days since you joined in.

Shimarai:-and we still practice the same methods.

Stella:-will you two be quiet? I'm trying to concentrate.

Shamarai:-we can ask him after the training.

Meanwhile at the "north west nation", one of "Gaplock's" henchman assembles to "Ghufran".

Ghufran:-one of "gaplock's"? I hope something useful coming out of him.

Henchman:-lord "Ghufran", "Gaplock" brings you a message, he won't be around for a while.

Ghufran:-and why is that? Is he travelling somewhere?

Henchman:-he said he is going to the land of winter.

Ghufran:-the "ever frost"? hah, surprise me.

Henchman:-he had a hidden trump card somewhere, and it might take down the boy with the aura.

"Ghufran" remembers "wreck".

Ghufran:-(I swear I killed him, there is no way anyone could survive my attack), surprise me more, come back with the results, (trump card he says).

At the dojo it is lunch time and "Wreck" made the food.

Shimarai:-I never had food like this before.

Yaguto:-that feels like paradise!

Wreck:-it has been months since I've cooked, "Tika", you'll cook next.

"Klai", "Kira", "Mira" and "Honzo" were shocked.

Kira:-if anyone would cook you have to take permission from mom.

Wreck:-don't judge her, you can sometimes take responsibility for someone.

Mira:-permission granted.

"Klai" and "Kira" were shocked.

Klai:-is this some kind of a test?

Honzo:-have faith on your little sister, her fiancé will be her guide.

Wreck:-…don't call me that.

Out of nowhere a falcon with a message comes by, "Klai" takes the message and opens it.

Wreck:-a message by bird? Back in my days we message people by technology.

Klai:-[sweat](so much for an expert)! It's an invitation message, we're invited to the "Ever frost" festival, and they'll give us some heavy clothing's and a free hot tub.

Wreck:-oh, is it that cold? It sounds like the arctic where the sun can't touch.

Kira:-actually there is no sunlight, only clouds covering the sky.

Honzo:-they say the clouds never faded for years.

Wreck:-not possible, if the clouds don't fade the land is completely frozen.

Kira:-is that why they call it the "ever frost?

Wreck:-…so who's gonna go?

Mira:-aren't you going too?

Wreck:-negative, I've got to train those 4 people, although "Landy" can go, can he?

Klai:-yeah, sure, I'll look after him.

Kira:-I wanna know more about some strange creatures so I will look after him too.

Wreck:- okay "Landy", follow them by any means necessary, make sure you give him meat "Klai".

After lunch they packed their stuff ready to take off.

Wreck:-"Landy"…make sure you tell me everything when you come back, there's no way a place like that can be so cloudy for years, hope you have a nice journey.

At the time they took off they went east, "Wreck", "Shimarai", "Stella", "Yaguto" and "Tika" stayed at the dojo.

Wreck:-okay guys, let's keep improving ourselves, we don't have much.

Yaguto:-I would like to ask a favor…can we…have a myth?

Wreck:-a myth? Like the day I showed you how to fight?

Yaguto:-I need another one…there must be one we haven't known it yet.

Wreck:-oh? There are so many myths to know about, give me some space.

Yaguto:-C'mon , there must be something we haven't tried, something we can make.

Wreck:-got one, can you summon a weapon out of your "ki"?

Yaguto:-…summon a weapon? Maybe this could work.

Shimarai:-hope mine is not made out of sticks.

Stella:-what about me? Can I have a myth?

Wreck:-[thinking, humming]…you can split the metal into sand, but can you bring them back together and form it into anything? Like structuring swords, shields or maybe an armor.

Stella:-oh…wait, structure? Like architecture?

Wreck:-now let's go back to training.

Everyone went back to training, "Wreck" felt proud of them figuring things out, 8 hours later "Klai" and the others have already reached "ever frost".

Klai:-…here we are…can you feel the cold in the air?

Kira:-the "ever frost"!

The cephadrome lands on the landing point where there are eternal flame torches to warm the place, a female guider comes by, her name is "Kagemi".

Kagemi:-welcome to "ever frost", hi I'm "Kagemi" and I will guide you to our wonderful town, just follow me if you wanna know more.

"Klai" and the others followed "Kagemi" to the town, the villagers are wearing heavy clothing and every house have an eternal flame placed somewhere around them.

Kagemi:-here you will have free sweaters and gloves, don't forget your caps, you don't want to catch a cold, and the torches will never go off this instant here, and there you'll see the statue of the hero who saved us from this winter, "Fate" the unbreakable!

Klai:-[surprised] "Fate"? (isn't that the name of the man who's with Intel)?

Kagemi:-and finally, a free rent dojo with warm rooms inside and a hot tub, need anything more you can find me watching the statue, good luck, the festival starts tomorrow.

"Kagemi" leaves.

Kira:-it's already noon?

Klai:-how long do you think it took us to get here? It did felt like only two hours have passed.

The others went in the dojo and "Kira" rushed to bed.

Kira:-looks like this dojo feels just like home.

Klai:-yes it does…even though I do remember scratching marks in the cabinet.

"Klai" opens the cabinet and finds his scratched marks.

Klai:-it's still here, this is the second time in the "Ever Frost"…when we were kids we use to go into a cave nearby here, and we drew many things in there.

Outside near the statue of "Fate" "Kagemi" prays for "Fate".

Kagemi:-he did not come…I'm sure he will somehow, I'll still have faith until he does…don't you worry mister "Fate".

At the mean time "Gaplock" and his men climbing up the mountain in search for the hidden laboratory.

Gaplock:-can you see it?

NW trooper:-negative sir, the fog is too thick it's blocking the path.

Gaplock:-and this is why we need these.

"Gaplock" takes out a red stone and breaks it, a spark flashes brighter to clear the fog, "Gaplock" found the hidden lab then the flash went off.

Gaplock:-there…I can see it.

At the meantime "Yaguto" and "Shimarai" were having trouble on creating their own weapon by "ki" control, they both only maintain the shape with no use.

Shimarai:-dammit, my wind swifts every time I make a shape out of it.

Yaguto:-this is hard, if only I can reform my flames, [light bulb]…I got it!

"Yaguto" goes to "Wreck".

Yaguto:-sensei.

Wreck:-so…have you completed the myth?

Yaguto:-no, but I do need some advice…how do you use your "ki" and heal you own wounds.

Wreck:-this method…is not easy as you think, my ways of using my "ki" I'm actually capable of shifting, and it's all about the loop.

Yaguto:-[surprised]a loop?!

Wreck:-if you don't know what I mean just think of a floating flame running in circles, I do that during battles actually and with my capability I can turn my failures into something else.

Yaguto:-so what you're saying is that it's just like a wheel spinning endlessly.

Wreck:-you will understand once you focus on how "landy" transforms.

Yaguto:-…I think I get it now, if I made a circle that doesn't make my flames fade fast then I'll be able to figure out how to reform it, thanks for the advice.

Wreck:-…(looks like he's going to achieve things in some other way).

The festival has started and everyone is having a great time, "Kira" is feeling very excited to go and have fun.

Kira:-[excited]oh this is exciting, there are many things we can have, even my favorite booze.

"Kagemi" comes by.

Kagemi:-everything is free, enjoy whenever you like.

Kira:-I'm going now.

"Kira" went to enjoy.

Honzo:-guess we're gonna split, see you at the dojo, son.

Klai:-yes father.

"Honzo" and "Mira" left, "Klai" was going to enjoy the festival but "Kagemi" held his hand stopping him.

Kagemi:-[look left and right, whisper]follow me.

"Kagemi" takes "Klai" to somewhere private.

Kagemi:-now tell me…where's the boy?
