Whooooomf! The ceiling melted away.

His strength gone, Eric fell to the floor as tiny flakes of snow spilled into the room, swirling and whirling in the air all the way down to the four children.

The snow melted to cold water on their faces.

Eric felt himself falling and falling. Everything was going dark around him.

Suddenly, a voice was shouting in his ear.

“Up you go! Come on! Hurry!

The next thing he knew, his eyes were opening and Keeah was pulling him up from the floor.

“Eric, you did it!” she cried. “You saved us. The snow woke us up. Now, come on. The palace is disappearing!”

“What?” Eric shook his head clear. His friends were all scrambling up, and on every side of them the huge palace of ice was melting away.

Tsss! A flake of snow landed on the table of food. Tsss! The table dissolved to nothing. Tsss! Snow struck the floor. Tsss! The icy floor melted.

Tsss! Tsss! Tsss! In seconds, the walls, the doors, the great ice palace itself were nothing more than damp splotches on the mountaintop.

“Where did my doughnuts go?” asked Neal.

“Where did it all go?” asked Julie.

The four friends were outside again.

Everything had vanished around them, leaving only the snow and the night and the cold.

“We were tricked,” said Keeah. “The palace was enchanted. It was all a magic spell, a spell that has ended.”

“But this is real,” said Eric. “Look.”

Where the palace had been now stood a tall open arch cut deep into the mountain’s peak.

“The ice caves,” said Eric, fully awake now. “We found the ice caves of Krog —”

As if in response, a terrible roar sounded from within. Rooaaaw-ooaaw!

Neal turned. “Do we really have to go in?”

Eric glanced at Keeah. She nodded.

“Neal,” he said, “we have to go in.”

The beast roared again, shaking the earth.

Rooaaarrrr!

Slowly, the four friends stepped into the ice caves of the beast.
