AN: I thought of this and I had to write it so I might as well publish it.

I'm sorry for the eventual grammatical errors and lexical mistakes I could do. But English is my second language . I'll try my best!


Snow is magic thing to many people. Lying in the snow under a clear blanket of stars is a magical image in a way. But snow it's not magic. Snow is just frozen water that slow fall from the sky.

However, when snow starts to fall in mind-July, in many places in the world and even when Egypt begin looks like a scene from an Frozen movie, then we can talk about magic.

And then there's this moment when Librarians are coming in.

They stood in front of the icy castle built on a mostly unexplored part of Southern Norway's mountain . It was a grand structure, like a castle from a child's dream. This was also a place where was hidden source of S'Winter that is sweeping the whole world.

The mountain where castel was located, suffer a major earthquake three days ago. That probably which in the opinion of Jenkins causing activate a power of legendary Casket of Ancient Winters, which one of previous Librarians unsealed a long time ago.

It should have been easy enough: found Casket of Ancient Winters and close it.

Everything had run smoothly as they entered the castel. Within the ice palace were countless rooms, halls, and stairs. Everything within the palace had been craved from ice. From the furniture and decorative features to the giant statue outside. Though everything was stunning and beautifully made, the air held a certain coldness. The ice that made this fortress left a chill in the wind. And no windows to the outside were seen, giving every room in the castle a dark and mysterious atmosphere.

And this case started getting weird when they turned a corner and came face to face with a strange figure…

He looked like yeti. He has a shaggy white hair covering his body, more prominent hair in his lower legs and arms. He has dark violet eyes, pointy ears and a big chin. His hair is long and styled in a ponytail and has long sideburns. He wears loose grey trousers, and keeps his large feet bare.

" Who in bloody hell are you?" He has a deep raspy voice and a strong Nordic accent.

It's very hard to say, what's weirder, that creature in apparently abandoned castel or the fact that he acts like security guard who caught groups of tourist after opening hours.

" Hmm.. I knew I was right, when Jenkins assured me that yeti doesn't live in these mountains. " Ezekiel said with smile. Furry men almost smiles at him.

" I'm not yeti. That's the name human gave me. I'm Fylgjur's third cousin and my name is Norðmaðr . " Not-yeti said and come a little closer. " And I want to know who you are."

" We are Librarians. " Flynn said impulsively. Furry men smiled down on them like he didn't have a care in the world.

" So follow me and prepare to be amazed. " Norðmaðr turned to the door in an instant but he looked at them over his shoulder" You guys coming or what? "

All team after a short huddle , decide to followed him, with absolutely no idea what's about to happen.

It was an awkward silence as they followed the snow white haired men through his icy castle. They carried on until they reached giant gate. The door's looked like a kaleidoscope, but only with all shades of blue.

Norðmaðr swept the door aside and a strong wind blew through the throne room and cause everyone but the men to shiver violently.

The men made the first move and strode inside. With a motion with his hand he summoned the Librarians to follow him inside.

The room itself was decorated with frost in fern-like patterns. A massive icy throne stood on a small plateau at one end of the room. Casket of Ancient Winters was lying nestled on a bed of dark blue velvet, on the right-hand side. They also could see the short columns on the left-hand side. On top it lay a large ball containing a crystal snowflake, crystal takes on a purple color, with a heart of deeper blue. The crystal also glows with a bright light blue light, throbbing at a steady pace.

Sitting in the throne was a women. She has a seven foot tall. Her skin is pale lavender, nearly white. She has long pale blonde hair with uneven streaks of white and purple, and ice blue eyes with bright blue lips to match.

She wears a blue halter dress that ends at half of her thighs decorated with blue crystals, and a pair of fur-lined boots. Over that, she wears a white and blue fur-lined cloak that reaches to the floor. She also has a hood over her head. She held an staff in one had that was covered in patches of spiked ice and one end contained a dangerously sharp, spike of crystal.

She stands tall and stares them all down, one by one with poker face.

" Norðmaðr, Why have you brought me Midgard people's? " Her voice was, cold and slow, it sounded like she was whispering very loudly.

" Lady Skaði," Men bowed lower " they're not normal Midgard people , these are Librarians. "

" Librarians? " Skaði expression showed surprise " I haven't met Librarian since Winter of 1565 when Telchur bet me I couldn't beat him in a match with magical freezing. " She smiles a little smile.

" But as far as I know , It was always just one Librarian. "

" It's just that in the past few years, things have changed a little. " Flynn said before introduced team to Skaði.

" So, what brings you here? " She asked as given him a strange look when know every name.

" Well, we're here about that thing. " Flynn pointed at Casket that was next to throne.

" Ahh, Casket of Ancient Winters, the ultimate, insanely great… fusion of art and magic. It's just sad that been locked up in the Mountains for so many years. And I'm guessing that you don't want to just admire it, right?"

" We don't want steal it. " Baird said when saw spark of rage in her eyes.

" We only want close it. " Flynn quickly added.

" Well, I'm afraid you traveling all this way for nothing." Her eyes were so misty as she talk " Casket of Ancient Winters belongs to me now. I'll use it how it should be use to its purpose, and mere mortals
shouldn't interfere with a gods at work. " Skaði said cold

" Your work case a next ice age. " Ezekiel coment

" So? Your world survived a few colder times in history. What's wrong this time? " Skaði asked , summoning a snowflake into her hand.

" It's just not natural. It's all been very sudden and if you don't stop freeze world the consequences could be disastrous and irreversible! " Cassandra argues.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Skaði laughed but the sound was hollow and rattled in the space around them.

" What? What's so funny? "

" That was exactly what previous Librarian said to me on the first day I was Midgard and now history keeps going around in a circle to the same dark end. "

" OK, what does that mean? " Ezekiel asked

" Norðmaðr , Please explain it to him the way you explained it to us last guests. " Her expression was grim.

" Yes, Your frostiness. " Norðmaðr said with bow. And then a second later Ezekiel was knocked back by him. Thief hit the wall and slid the floor.

" Do you have any other questions?" Norðmaðr asked as he slammed his fists on the ground.

A tremor shakes the ground around them and make everyone to take several steps backwards.

Norðmaðr struck again keeping his wary eye on Librarians before he jumped on them with his bare hands. But his claws only scratched floor as team scattered around the room.

" You know. I'm not so much for moving target. " He said in an angry hiss as he took a stumbling steps toward Ezekiel. But Jacob who was closest to Thief, stand in front of him.

" You'd best not mess with me. " Norðmaðr staring into Jacob's eyes, like he was trying to murder
him with his mind.

" I was fighting with bigger than you, boy." Jacob says and runs forward, barrelling into Norðmaðr and knocking him backwards into the ice table. Icy fragments clattering to the ground.

Norðmaðr were being flung at Jacob before a fist hit his jaw sharply. He heard furry men laughing and then he fell back when men punch Cowboy in the stomach, sending him on the ground.

" Not bad for a mortal, " He spat blood on the floor before swung one of his fists. Jacob ducked in time for it to whistle over his head.

Then grabbed long fur on Norðmaðr's right arm, using it to pull himself up drawing a scream from enemy' lips and then try punched the furry men as hard as he could.

Norðmaðr eyes widened and he jumped back. But a second later, he just continued his barrage, but also focusing on Jacob's right side, slowly sends Librarian in a corner.

Baird could see that he's in trouble. She reached for a gun but her hand found only air, holster was empty and covered with frost.

" Looking for this, Lieutenant? " Skaði asked with ignorant arrogance.

Baird looked at her, a tiny, mischievous , snowmen sit on her shoulder and holding the gun that belong to Guardian.

She send them poisonous gaze before turned, Norðmaðr got a lot more leverage. So, she just ran straight at the Norðmaðr and throwing herself at his back. Her arms wrapped around his neck and her legs latched around his waist.

" Get off me! " Norðmaðr yelled and started jumping like a wild animal while Baird started squeezing his throat.

Guardian want to choke him until he passes out, but he finally reach over his shoulder, and grab her hood. He take intruder off his back in one swift motion, and then threw her at Jacob. They smashed into a pillar , groaning as they made impact, and rolled onto the floor.

" Stone! "

" Evie! "

" Okay, let's go for real now." Norðmaðr growls, bending closer to them with his arms clenched into fists at his side.

Flynn picked up a really sharp piece of ice from the ground and ran towards Norðmaðr .

" Not so fast. " Skaði deftly spun around the staff in her hand, making the spear-like end to point out in front of her. It shot ice ray at Flynn.

" Flynn, look out! "

He jump out of the way, but Norðmaðr who was standing behind him was not so lucky. Magic ray hit him right in the back and froze his body.

Flynn watched with curiosity at ice statue, and at the time Cassandra helped Jacob and Baird back to their feet.

But before they could do whatever, Skaði banged his staff on the ground and the noise it makes echoes throughout the hall. "Enough! " She didn't yell, but her voice was fearfully deadly.

A wind blew up in the room, centering on Librarians. Then every corner of the room had lit up, it had created an eerie, otherworldly effect, exciting and terrifying.

Skaði began to cast her spell inside the room, white energy scattered around the room. Some of it gathered in order to transform into a stalagmites of ice reached as tall as the ceiling that effectively imprisoned all team.

Skaði walked down the small steps towards them.

" I'm tired and you people still don't understand what it means to fight against a god. " She continued to talk as she moved, slowly like a cat circling their prey.

" But I thought your statue stay at my door, that be a great warning to other potential future guest.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she froze, squeezing her eyes shut as she felt the air in the room shift. The blood pounded through her ears and she felt a thrill when hear the sound of slammed the lid shut.

Then she turned around and saw as Ezekiel takes up her crystal ball as automatically as a child handles a plaything.

Thief stood frozen in place, eyes glued on her. She turns herself into snow and teleported in front of him.

" Let it go, or I'll blow your brains out and feed you to Fenrir" She threatened, holding the point of the staff close to the Ezekiel's neck.

" As you please, your Highness. " He said with a smirk on his face as dropped the ball and it broke on the floor.

" NO! " Skaði involuntarily dropped the staff. It landed on the floor with a clatter. Ezekiel totally uses the opportunity to get away as far as possible from her. Then Skaði turned around.

" You stopped winter but believed me the endless winter would be better for your world that that will coming. " She say before turn herself into snow and disappeared, her staff also vanish into thin air.

Suddenly the stalagmites of ice which blocked everyone cracked. And then a second later they all were free. But our joy was short-lived, as the earth started to shake.

Baird took in the state of room in less than a second. "Run!"

All team had hurried to the door, They were halfway to the exit when a giant, deep crack opened up beneath Cassandra. She wasn't quick enough to get away. Jacob tried to save her by grabbing her hand, but she was already falling and pulled him down with her.

" Cassandra! Stone! " Baird yelled as Flynn and Ezekiel were in shock. It was so deep that they couldn't even see the bottom of it.

But they don't have time to do anything. All room was shaking more and more every second. Snow was falling from the ceiling, filling up the air around them and a few chunks surrendered to gravity and collapsed in front of and behind team.

" There isn't much time, … we have to go… now. " Baird told Flynn and Ezekiel, who didn't think twice and fled the building within a few seconds. When the icy pillars come crashing down almost on top of them as they run for their lives.

After what seems like an eternity of running they found main gate and run over the bridge when the whole building shook at the same time.

The minute that they stood on a stable and solid ground that castel collapsed like a house of cards.

They were just standing there, keeping their wary eye on the ruins of castel. When the snowy dust finally settles, they saw something move under the rubble.

And then a few seconds later, Norðmaðr gotten out of under snow with cry of relegation, of pain and confusion. He looked around, really disoriented.

" Your frostiness ? " Norðmaðr called looking down to the now buried castel. Then he dropped to his knees, and started to dig into the snow.

" Your frostiness? " He say again before he felt that someone pat him on the back. He turned around and….

Thwack!

In that split second, Baird swung the ice stalagmite squarely to the furry men face, and the stock of the ice came crashing onto the side of his mouth with the most horrific sound everybody had ever heard. Norðmaðr falled backwards onto the ground with a sound thump.

" Okay, so, now what do we do? " Ezekiel asked looking at Baird and Flynn.
