WATER

Before the Ice Castle can rise in the White Mountains… Water must choose to become ice.

Far away, in a glowing coral kingdom, the Zebra-Hippocampus guarded the reef. Around her floated thousands of jellyfish, pulsing like living lanterns.

One day, the outer waters grew restless. Shadows circled. The jellyfish flickered nervously.

"Shall we sting?" they asked.

But the Zebra-Hippocampus shook her blue and white striped mane.

"Water is strongest when it flows wisely."

She called upon the Tropic Fish King, and together they created the Treaty of Tides — glowing borders, safe pathways, and light offered before harm.

The sea calmed.

And far away in the mountains, streams slowed… shimmered… and began to freeze.

Because when Water finds harmony, it becomes something extraordinary.

The Ice Castle begins each season with a single peaceful drop that finds its balance.

But even frozen water needs warmth to shine…
