    "...they say the glacier was once a kingdom ruled by Calyrex." someone said. "If Calyrex is awakened, the glacier will become the warm, green land it once was."

    Atelier’s ears also perked. So that was one rumour already. Wait, so did that mean that this land initially was not snowy? He wondered if Xuehua would like that, or not. Then again this was only a rumour.

    A glacier? Xuehua paused, checking to see if Aine was free. She'd have to ask about if that could be related to the lair.

    She'd read about Calyrex in a novel or two, but that Pokémon was probably more a myth than a real thing anyway. But given how long the Kings had been around, she absolutely would not put it past one of them to have frozen a chunk of Ardamore to live in.

    Luckily, Aine had a moment between sets. "Is everything well?" she asked Xuehua.

    Mobile (?) glacier... Calyrex... Everything made even less sense at this rate. Curiosity ensued on Blacky's part that drove him to get closer to those particular patrons talking about it. "Uh, excuse me," he called out to them at the appropriate distance. "I heard you're talking about glaciers -- mind telling me about it?"

    "Right. Aine, you did quite some research on the Dragons, right?" Xuehua asked. "Can you tell us what you know about the Ice Dragon, assuming we're up against them next?" She kept her attention pointed to if Aine even mentioned a word about a glacier or anything of the like.

    "Research on the Ice Dragon King was hard to come by, but I did find some information..." Aine explained. "There has been some evidence confirming that Calyrex's kingdom did exist, but where Calyrex or his kingdom is now, I don't know."

    Yeah, Blacky got ignored again. He really should've gotten used to it, yet he didn't. And thus, unable to get any answers from the patrons, he diverted his attention to the ladies instead.

    "They say that a lush green kingdom, ruled by the High King Calyrex, once stood to the north of here." a Braixen mage explained. "The story goes is that Calyrex fled when the Ice Dragon King attackd and froze it solid, but I have found that there are other versions of the tale."

    And then said patron (?) took Blacky's attention back. "Calyrex's kingdom north from here, frozen by the Dragon King..." he took a mental note of what the mage just said. "Have anyone seen a glacier or two over there?"

    (This Braixen is an NPC, for the curious.

    "We have seen some, but all that have ventured there have not returned." the Braixen replied. "Arceus knows what fate they met..."

    (Aside from our heroes, I do treat the patrons here as NPCs anyway.)

    "All that have ventured to <insert a suspicious place here> have not returned." Sounds like a thematic telltale of a Dragon King's presence at this point. In this case, the suspicious place happened to be the glacier(s?). "Some glaciers... or a mirage one, perhaps?" the resident swordsmon muttered his random thoughts. The possibilities were always there, right?

    "It could be a mirage, it could not." the Braixen replies. "No one has yet returned...."

    Atelier crossed his arms to think, only to sip more of his drink as he processed his thoughts. "So... I could guess that explorers have been imprisoned there?" If it was true that the place was a mirage or at least was hard to find, that would make preparation difficult. Like, it would be very difficult to design a strategy without getting an idea of the location in the first place.

    "Can we investigate one of the glaciers at least? We have to start somewhere," he said.

    Well, it lined up. Atelier's thoughts about investigation mirrored Xuehua's own drive to do the same. She downed her water quickly with a nod, eyes narrowed. "I'll second that. We should check that place out, and soon."
    Given her own resistance to the cold, she could probably scout ahead a little bit. The small Fire Staff in her cloak would provide her a good way through a fight if she ran into any trouble on the frontlines.

    "If you really want to sail northward, do so at your own risk." a Machop cautioned.

    "If you do return alive from there, you would be hailed as a hero." the Braixen agreed.

    Sail northward... Xuehua gave the others a look, gauging their reaction. The trip had now changed a little bit now, given that there appeared to be a body of water - they'd have to prepare for that, unless she could freeze the surface to get her comrades across. It also looked as if further northward was the point they were headed for. She made a note of that, too - would be approaching from the south? Or would there be a chance to change their positions closer to the lair?

    Atelier blinked. Oh, so the lair was on water eh? Unlike the Water Dragon King, which was underwater, this lair would be above the water. In conditions like these, dropping into the water could likely mean death.

    So now there were two problems. The first was to get a ride across the water, and the second was finding the lair itself. If the lair was located on fresh water, Xuehua could probably freeze the water for passage. If it was on salt water, not so.

    "Sailing northward, huh?" the Umbreon mused. "It's freezing out there, so whoever giving us a ride needs to be strong enough to destroy icebergs." I mean, sure, Xuehua might be able to freeze the water body, but in case she couldn't, getting a ride would be their only option.

    (I was actually thinking of Empoleon's field move in Shadows of Almia at the time of writing this.)

    "We do need to be prepared for icebergs, and frigid temperatures..." Aine agreed as she rejoined the others. "But where would we find coats, blankets, and other warm items?"
