It begins with a stone in the ice. A silver-blue stone colder than its prison that glows even through it thick casing. For so long it has lain dormant, awaiting the rise of one to understand its power. Only recently has such a mind emerged, fresh from the fire of a painful lesson. She has been abandoned, and now the small stone trapped in the ice has come to keep her company.

Above its faint shadow, the ice cracks. In the frozen ground a rift forms, and the faintly glowing light dances across the dust. Faint particles of snow, perpetually floating on the surface of the steppe, swirl above and across the rift. Softly, a song begins.

It is quiet and low, building from the arctic wind until it becomes a howling chorus. It draws closer the mind of the gentle and clever Ophelia, pulling her to the source of the song. The long wait is soon to be over.

The ice of the steppe soon begins to glow a blue all across its surface. The night is illuminated by a light from below, all from a small stone that has rested for countless years in the ice. Never noticed; simply a pebble forgotten, discarded once by a trickster seeking magic. But the magic had sought him, and the stone had robbed him. Now it shakes in the earth, widening the rift and creating fractures from its base. The magic of the thief stirs within it until the rock threatens to shatter the entire steppe. The song is silent for one, solitary moment.

Then there is a bellow heard across the land; a painful cry to the mare of ice and snow. A cry to be found.
