"Mom, dad, we need help!" said Blake as she and the others came running up to a beach house tucked in the middle of some trees.
"What's going on?" asked Ghira as he and Kali ran out of their house.
"She's getting to cold to touch," said Weiss as she and Yang let go of Ruby, who was covered in frost and icicles.
"What happened to her?" asked Kali. Before anyone could say a word, Ruby's aura started to pour from her, becoming a solid block of ice that incased her.
"Ruby," said Yang with a worried yet terrified expression. William and Jasmin then came out of the ice.
"Dang, that's a lot colder than when it happened to her mom," said Jasmin as she and William shivered.
"What do you mean that this happened to Summer?" asked Yang.
"And what is this?" asked Jaune.
"This happens to all Winter Maidens, their aura freezes them when their full power is about to be released," said William.
"How long will she be in there?" asked Qrow.
"Summer took two days, but Ruby's strength is far past hers, we were barely able to get out of that ice," said Jasmin.
"Which means we have no clue, it could take her a few hours or months with how strong she is," said William.
"Sorry, but what are they?" asked Blake as her ears stood straight up from being surprised by them.
"We'll have to tell you later," said Yang as they heard screams from the nearby village. A few minutes later, they were running into the village as people ran away.
"That thing is bigger than the Dragon!" said Jaune as they watched a giant octopus Grimm attack the village.
"That's because it's one of the three kings; the Dragon, Kraken, and Cherufe," said William.
"This thing's on the same level as the Dragon?!" asked all the teens at the same time.
