Long ago, within the Dark Ages, the Kingdom of Zeal fell from the sky and was buried within the ocean. The evil Queen Zeal, using the power of an alien force, Lavos, had destroyed her people, leaving only a few survivors. The Ocean Palace rose from the sea and became the Black Omen. Once Queen Zeal was defeated by a group of heroes, the Black Omen was vanquished.
With the defeat of Lavos, the world was once again in peace.
In the Dark Ages, unknown to everyone, a hidden power layed at the bottom of the ocean. It was a power that was able to control all the elements of the world. This power layed dorment for many years until 600 A.D., where the entity was discovered.
A young girl with long hair, her knees up to her chest and eyes closed, was frozen in the middle of a huge ice mass. Tried as they might, even with fire, no one could melt the ice. So they kept it within the Sun Keep.
Many years gone by and the sun's ray couldn't even melt the ice. Using swords and hammers were useless.
During the present time of 1000 A.D., Crono and his friends also tried to break the huge glaciar, but to no avail.
Magus, son of Queen Zeal, heard word of this mysterious being trapped in ice and also went to take a look with Crono and his friends. He sensed a great power coming from the mass. He couldn't even describe it. Since the being inside was sleeping, the power coming from her was spilling out like an overflowing sink. He couldn't tell what kind of power she had, but he knew for certain that the ice was magic. She was sealed on purpose; and that only magic could release magic.
Magus began a magic spell. He didn't know what kind of release spell to use, but he tried all he could until one would work. Unfortunately, none did.
While taking a break to think, Magus noticed that the girl in ice had begun to open her eyes.
