Anna's family

Seeking the truth

"Here we are huh?"

The way formed for him dissipated as the crack in the sea turned back to it's previous form.

'It really worked it seems...'

And finally he's here, he did it.

'So this is the source of magic'

He made his way to Ahtohallan, which looked like an ice fortress...there was no entrance except for one right before him.

His mind was telling him to be on guard for anything bad to happen, that it was too open...but for some reason he didn't feel threatened...his heart was telling him that it's okay...

Ahtohallan sleeps around him, quiet and grim, a silent estuary of magic and miracles.

It feels strange now being near it and he hadn't made it to the center yet...it does't feel real, it's like he's in a dream...a distant, distant dream

He feels the cold surface beneath his feet, the air was cold... and yet it doesn't feel too harsh

Ah ah ah ah

The voice that called him for all this time became a bit louder, which means it's a step closer now. He had to know. He can't ignore her siren.

"I hear you... just you wait, I'm coming to meet you"

The innards of the glacier smell like a mountaintop. Glisten like a flat sea. He stand upright, hands at his sides and his chest puffed out. His brown hair billows loose against his exposed back

'I can do this. I know I can. No matter what awaits me beyond the next corner. I have to know'

He takes a few steps, walking towards the cave entrance in the middle of the giant ice wall

And as he comes closer, he hears voices again but this time it's not just a call...it's singing something

~Every inch in me is trembling~

~And from the cold~

He is now inside the cave, he watch his feet as he delve deeper into the glacier.

~Something is familiar~

~Like a dream I can reach but not quite hold~

The inside was frozen like the outside with the path ahead a little dark but welcoming

~I can sense you there~

~Like a friend I've always known~

At that Tarzan thought to himself, it was beautiful yet familiar indeed ...it seems like ahtohallan tries to talk to him, to tell him something

~I have always been a fortress~

~Cold secrets deep inside~

Perhaps it wants him to be careful...

~You have secrets too~

~But you don't have to hide~

And perhaps it's not only ahtohallan...

~I'm dying to meet you~

...Maybe it's also the people connected to it, those who reside within

He follows the voice and finds himself in the dead end where there are multiple caves in different directions...

...But as he is there, inside the ancient river of glaciers... he finally says what he wanted to say from the beginning and what was reinforced by that vision inthe forest
