Faith slid up to the wall were her two friends sat. Daxter was stuck in-between two spikes crushing his small body, about the same story for Jak.
"Where did the blood come from?" She wondered out loud.
Thinking about it, it was from when she slid across the ice and the holes in Jak's arm and leg must have made it pool. She shook her head out of thought using the rest of the Dragons horn too crush the stone holding them.
"This place seems to be the worst despite its innocent look…" Faith mumbled walking through all the spiked rubble.
Letting it fall silent a sound of a growling beast showed it's self. The growling went as fast as it came. Faith still a little nervous about the sound continued to go forward. The Ice began to crack faster than they remembered. Daxter looked down noticing that under the ice was the same type of trap in the first temple.
"Faith, the floor, its open!"
Daxter yelled to the girl far ahead of them. The sections of empty floor fell as icicles shot up from beneath continually. The walkway was just slightly bigger then the first temple.
"Stand so nothing hangs over the sides." Faith screamed as the icicles ripped through the baggy bottom of her pants brining the shredded brim of her pants up too her knees. Soon the icicles built there way down making it a very small maze. The walkway was far too small for any of them to move much not even Daxter to go far.
"What ever you do, don't move down, the icicles are made so they'll cut you." Faith said making her way out very slowly getting cut slightly every step. The ice was cold and the room felt in the negatives, the piled icicles made blood stream like rivers, this tunnel felt so pointless, even on her own life.
As she felt the end of the small maze near, the same growling was heard. As her hand touched the heart stopping cold air, a black thick liquid dripped on her hand. Walking out the other two close behind, she looked up to see nothing. Looking back down a beast with a long wrinkled snout waited at her face. The beast jumped back letting them get a better look at it. Its long black snout let black saliva drip, as its tentacle like hair moved like snakes as its eye less body, sharp claws, and thrashing tail felt more and more menacing.
As if it could see, it kept its head in the direction of Faith. She jumped a little as what it tried to hit her.
"It's an ancient beast that scenes magical energy and takes it down, its classified as the 'Censor'"
She quickly pulled out her sword quickly charging the demon. Just as quickly the Censor jumped out of the way ramming into the side of her, making her slam into the wall. Shaking it off slightly she noticed Jak taking aim with a blaster mod. She was just about to warn them when it was too late. The Censor squealed in pain as the bullet penetrated its head. Amazingly it shook it off, now detection the two next to it.
"These demons can see through magical energy and if you make your self know by touching it in anyway your just as in much trouble as I am!" Faith said getting pissed off.
Quickly she slashed at the beast's censors, cutting one of the twelve off. The attack drew off the beast attention and back on Faith. Unsure how to kill it, she charged it again getting a swift head-butt to the stomach. With a grunt of pain she got back up and charged again slashing off another censor. The Censor then punched the ice floor beneath her feet. Jumping out of the way it reveled a mammoth sized gap of nothingness beneath there feet witch was just barely being held up by thin ice pillars. Not watching what was going on, the Censor punched at her feet once again, soon falling to only a grip on the slippery ice. Glancing down she saw nothing but pitch black.
The Censor shot its attention back over to Jak and Daxter. Before either of them could do much the Censor dashed over swiping its tail behind them launching its tail making the two meet the same circumstance as Faith. The Censor smirked over the three as it punched in the floor once again making the three hanging fall to apparent death.

'So cold, but yet so warm, so strange, but oddly familiar, all that touched my skin felt as if to melt, it was soothing, but deadly at the same time, why was this feeling so dark but yet bright? Am I alive, or did I fall to my death.'
Faith opened her eyes stiffly as snow fell on her warm face. Sitting up, she noticed she was sitting in deep fluffy snow, in an ice cavern filed with sparking ice crystals everywhere. She looked to her arms folded across her chest holding Daxter. She shivered as the cold ran up her back. Her now exposed legs were bright pink as well as her arms up to her elbow. Wakening up the sleeping ottsle by getting up stumbling a bit.
"Where are we?" He questioned looking at the forever distance of snow and pillars.
"How can there be snow?!"
"The layers of ice turn into water above and instantly turn into snow as they fall." Faith said looking around in little light.
"Where's Jak?"
"Theirs no way he could have gone any farther than us."
Daxter hopped down into the deep snow wiping away some on a body.
"Found um'" Daxter mumbled sitting down.
She reached down slightly touching his skin but quickly pulled back at the bitter cold. Sitting down she griped him tightly, in hopes it would help, the temperature seemed to drop even more. Looking at Daxter she thought of how this was deh-sha-vo, just not her this time.

Faith dragged her feet in the soft sand.
"Some times you can be so pathetic Faith…" Jak mumbled coming back to help her up from deep in the sand.
"Sorry, it's not my fault that I can't handle the EVIL sun." She grumbled.
After a long while traveling on foot in the desert, it seemed to grow very quiet. Looking back Faith had fallen over in exestuation. On first glace she seemed dead, only really being over heated.
"I told you that wearing 7 layers of clothing was a bad idea…" Jak mumbled to him self.
"I can still hear you ya know?" Faith peeped out in pants passing out shortly after.

"Doesn't this seem familiar Daxter?" Faith said in a low tone.
"Yeah, It's funny that its not you." Daxter responded curling up on her shoulder warming up.
She looked up to the only way out, hearing the crack on her face snap larger. It grew exceedingly painful as she sat there and listened to it crack. It soon took up the entire right side of her face and began to travel to the left and down her neck an shoulder. Biting her lip and curling her back forward in agony. Tears soon again streamed down her cracked face dripping off onto Jak's face as well. Scratching at the cracks pulling her hand back pink sand rested in it. Closing her eyes tightly holding all her tears back, she quickly opened them again to the feeling of another hand in hers.
"You're crying again, how many times do I have to tell you that you're not going to end anytime soon." Jak said wiping away her tears.
"Sorry, I know, it's easy to get down when I think."
"You think?"
Faith quickly pushed him off her lap making the dozing ottsle fall into the snow again.
"Do you know the saying for wakening me up if its not life threatening!" Daxter said popping his head up from the snow, just as he noticed the exceeding cracks on her face.
"No, and I don't intend to find out." Faith giggled as she made her way to her feet. The cracks again making there way down her leg. She screamed in pain as it began to burn. She began to fall to her knees but was caught before she hit her head to the ground.
"I want to leave so bad…" Faith said in pain as more tears dripped down off her face.
