Nya trudged along with Jay, Flame, and Dareth. She didn't trust Jay's judgement at all, but she had promised to take him to the North Mountain, and she kept her promises. Seriously though, who marries someone they just met, or lets an insane stranger who sang about dojo's come with them on a dangerous journey. Dareth kept saying that "He was made by Zane", but Nya did not believe it. She hadn't even believed that the new king could have ice powers.

"So how exactly are you going to end the winter?" She asked Jay.

Jay was walking along, determined to find his brother.

"I'm gonna talk to my brother!" He said confidently. Then he began to ramble on about what would happen when everything went back to normal.

Nya didn't think it would go that easy. She looked over to Dareth who was also talking, although no one was listening.

"Did I ever tell you about the time I fought priates? Oh wait, I've never done that. I'll tell you about the time I imagined pirates attacked."

Nya stopped listening. She just had to get to the north mountain, and they were practically there. She heard a collective gasp from everyone, and turned to see that they were at the North Mountain. But not only that, there was a beautiful castle on the mountain, and it was made of ICE! For a moment, everyone just stood and gaped at the wonder on the mountain. Then Jay ran as fast as he could tword it.

"I'm coming for you, Zane!" He screamed as he ran.

Nya and dareth followed him, until they reached the doors of the magnificent catsle. Jay went up and prepared to knock, but he hesitated.

"Hey, do you even know how to knock? Why don't you let me do it." Dareth stepped forward to knock on the door, but Nya grabbed him back.

"We'll stay out here, so you can talk to your brother." Nya said.

Jay nodded, and then took a deep breath and knocked. To his suprise, it opened!

"Ha, it opened, that's a first." Jay muttered to himself, and then went inside. "Just give me a minute, okay guys?"

"Sure." Nya agreed. She hadn't wanted to come, but now she was struck by the castles beuty.

Beside her, Dareth began to count.

"One, two, three, four, five,"


Zane had heard the commotion outside, he was not at all surprised when Jay came running in.

"Jay?"

Jay looked up to where Zane was standing on his icy staircase, and then ran toward him.

"Zane! Wow this is amazing!"Jay shouted.

Zane smiled at Jay.

"Thank you, I never knew what I was capable of." Zane replied.

"So you can come home now, and rule, and you won't have to shut me out!" Jay exclaimed. "It can be like when we were little!"

Jay danced around, clearly happy. But Zane wasn't feeling the same way. He looked down at his hands, and then back at Jay. Images of accidentally hitting Jay with his powers flashed through his mind.

"I shut you out for your own protection, Jay, it can never be like it was when we were little."

Jay ran up the stairs and closer to Zane.

"You don't have to protect me, I'm not afraid!" Jay pleaded. "Please don't shut me out again, please don't slam the door, you don't have keep your distance anymore..."


"fifty-nine, sixty! Okay, lets go!" Dareth finished counting and kicked the doors to the castle open. Being quite clumsy, Dareth tripped on the ice, and slid over to the stairs. Nya followed him and heard screaming. She ran up the stairway and saw Jay struggling to his feet.

"Jay!" She ran over to him. "Are you alright?"

She had loathed him, but it would break her heart to see him badly injured, or worse.

"I'm fine, I just need to convince Zane to come back." Jay coughed and looked at his brother standing across the room from him.

"No Jay, what power do you have to stop this winter, to stop me? For the last time, go home!" Zane commanded.

"No!" Jay said firmly. "I'm not leaving without you!"

Zane closed his eyes and gathered all his strength. An icy wind began blowing in circles, and a figure emerged from the middle. Out stepped a man Zane had created. His eyes glowed like fire, and his sword burst into flames.

"He doesn't seem very friendly." Whispered Dareth.

Nya agreed, and she was pretty sure everyone else thought the same thing.

"Make them leave, Kai." Zane ordered.

"Out." Kai said.

Kai ran toward them. Nya, Jay, and Dareth began running as fast as they could to get out of the castle. They made it out just in time, right before Kai slammed the door shut. That left everyone outside, shocked and scared, and Jay slowly but steadily freezing to death.
