Prompt 5 (Ice Bath): Rainfall is rare in Destiny City during Winter; there have been a few light showers between the occasional snow but it’s never been enough to be significant. In some places, it’s just enough for a thin layer of ice to cover the ground and make it a little slippery, but ultimately it’s not enough to worry about. In an inconspicuous place in town, you step into one of these icy puddles and the thin layer of ice shatters. The hole itself seems maybe three feet wide and if you’ve ever been in the area before you know it’s just a pothole a few inches deep at most. Except, when the ice shatters, you fall, plummeting into it as if it were a lake of icy water. It’s pitch black around you and only pale blue lights shimmer above you. The darkness is never ending and you can’t make out the details of anything except the shrinking hole above you. Maybe you remember how to swim and pull yourself out, maybe you black out and feel someone else pulling you out--either way, your frozen, soaking body is pulled from the puddle. The chill is immense, but if you look at the hole after being pulled out, all you can see is the ground below. There’s no sign that what you just experienced is real--except for the fact that you’re still soaking wet.Dia pulled out her alter-ego (???) (Calder, Page, of Mercury)'s Chisel and stared at it, contemplating what had happened the other night. She had made sure to do it in a secluded, semi-wooded spot at the back of the neighborhood. It was early January, and a rare rainfall the other night and subsequent freeze had caused patches of transparent ice to form. She did not think many people would come this way at this time.
She carefully considered the chisel. It was definitely ancient and yet well-made, for even now it seemed to be strong. It also had a symbol carved into it - interesting enough it seemed to be the same symbol that appeared on her dress, when she ?Powered Up? .
She frowned - and then froze at a crackle in the frozen grass. She quickly ?banished? the chisel.
"Hello?"
