Frozen(rachel) Heart of Element's

Series 1: Frost and Ice

Through space, at the end of time, and across six different dimensions, lies the heart of ice. Inside a stone, larger than our sun, it sleeps. If you were ever to enter it, this is what you would see.

You would begin in a cavern, which is attached to a multitude of other caverns. The interior is that of smooth, multicoloured marble that shimmers as the dim light that is present gives it a slight glow. Touching it is like touching ice; cold and hard. And yet, your fingers would not stick. Instead they would slide off, as if you were trying to grab water.

Alcove's are carved into the walls, and they are filled with crystals of every shape, colour, and size. They are also the ones that give off the dim light. However, you cannot touch or take them, for they are alive. If you attempted to do so, they would retreat deeper into their niche. The sound of their withdrawal is similar to opening a clam, or sitting on a creaky bed.

In every room, there is a small pool of liquid. There are also veins of the same liquid pulsating throughout the entire stone. All the veins eventually lead to one pool, were they collect into a drop, and fall down into the pool. When the drop hits the surface, a low ring resounds through the room for five seconds, and then is cut short with a slight increase in pitch. The fluid itself is the colour of milk white, and it has the thickness of syrup. Take caution though, and do not attempt to drink it, no matter how tempting, for it is a highly potent poison.

Another warning, for your safety. Make sure never to breathe in the air. One breath would instantly freeze your lungs, making it impossible to breathe.

Continuing farther into the room, you would see a hallway, eight foot high, two foot wide, and ten foot long. It is made of stone that looks like metal, feels like coal, and is blacker than night. The hallways do not have light crystals, as they are merely meant as connectors to all the different rooms.

Last but not least, the final chamber. The true heart of ice. Since it is the centre of the stone, it should be the warmest place, but in fact is the coldest. Any organic or otherwise that spends more than five minutes within its reach, becomes a permanent decoration. The heart is a massive structure of frost, ice, and crystal combined protruding from the ground. It stands at a towering height of twenty feet, and has a unique luminosity about it. A bluish-white glow seems to almost fall from it in the form of dust. Picking up the 'dust' is like picking up sand, and still it falls as lightly as a feather. The light emanating from the 'dust', however, does not reach the corners of the room, and is kept to itself. If you touch the crystal, and expect to wipe away frost, prepare to be wrong. Instead, a layer of the 'dust' would come off with ease. Looking inside, well, that's up to your imagination....
