■Part I
Before the cold abyss changed everything, the Ice Princess was a solitary guardian of the world’s edge. She stood in her winter courtyard, draped in heavy, majestic emerald-green robes adorned with intricate golden embroideries that whispered of ancient magic. Above her, the night sky was alive, folding into a tapestry of brilliant blue nebulas and burning amber stardust.At her feet sat Flufi in his truest, primordial form—not yet a cat, but a wild, shadow-furred spirit of the cosmos with fierce, glowing crimson eyes. He held a glowing golden orb beneath his paw, a vibrating core of raw cosmic energy retrieved from the deep universe. He had arrived as a fallen star, bringing a remnant of light into her silent, frozen realm. Together, they stood at the threshold of reality, looking up at the fracturing sky, unaware that the biting cold of the abyss was about to alter their shapes forever.
