❄️ The Awakening in Snow

The old winter lodge your grandmother left behind still smells like cold wood and old pine. While exploring its forgotten rooms, you notice a narrow frosted door at the end of a dim hallway — one you swear never existed before.

You push it open. The hidden chamber inside feels ancient: frosted tiles shimmering like ice crystals, and in the center, a stone bathtub coated in delicate silver snowflakes. The air hums with freezing magic.

Curious, you wipe the snow from the tub. Beneath the frost, something glimmers — a pearl-like ice core resting near the rim, beating with a slow pale-blue glow like a winter heart.

The moment your warm fingers graze it — everything erupts.

Light spirals upward like snow caught in moonlight. A trembling figure forms — translucent, frost-bodied, fragile, collapsing into your arms with a sound like soft ice cracking.

A stray beam of heater-warm light slips through the window. The creature recoils instantly — edges melting, body shrinking like snow under sunlight. Panic hits your chest as she clings desperately to you.

Then instinct takes over — she bites your shoulder.

Not painful — but cold and electric. Your vision floods white. A bond forms. You don’t hear words — only feel them like drifting snowflakes:

fear • cold • loneliness • desperation • don’t let me melt…

You rush, opening the window — freezing air pours in. Snow drifts inside, landing on her skin. She steadies. Frost glimmers beneath your hands as she drinks the cold like water.

warmth of you • safety • belonging • thank you...

She cannot speak — only emotions and soft sounds like “Ah!”

Cold keeps her alive. Heat melts her slowly — she shrinks, becomes softer, quieter.

Snow gives her joy. Under snowfall she glows like a living aurora.

This is where the bond begins.
Winter has chosen you.

Leave your snowflake of thought ❄️ With love ~ Max ♥
