I wake up after what seems like a few hours, though I can't really tell. Out the window, it's just an endless snowstorm. Window. I thought maybe yesterday or, however long it's been had been a dream, but here I am, in the same cabin. The wolf walks into the room.
"Mourning, Princess."
"Huh? How did you-"
"The gem on your forehead, it's the birthmark of the Sol Bloodline."
She did make a good point. That gem did distinguish myselffrom mypeople.
"Anyways, you need to get back home. It's dangerous up here."
The wolf pulls an old looking book off the shelf, dusts it off, and starts flipping through the pages. She stops at a page titled "Sol Switch." I stare down at the page.
"Sol Switch was an ancient technique used by various royalties,back when all the kingdoms fought over the Sol Emeralds. The technique allowed them to teleport wherever they please. You do have at least one of the seven on you, right?"
I nod as I pull out one of the emeralds. I did have all seven, but I don't quite trust her. She nods back.
"To use the technique, the user must focus their destination into the emerald. Then they must shout the command, 'Sol Switch!' Finally, they'll be teleported to their destination."
I nod in understanding.
"Alright, goodbye, Princess."
"Wait, I never got your name."
"Arctic. It's Arctic."
"Well then, farewell, Arctic."
I focus my destination into the emerald. It starts glowing. I yell out the command.
"Sol Switch!"
I feel a bit woozy, but I'm back home in the palace.
