The Never-Realm stretches before you, a barren expanse of razor-sharp ice and screaming wind. Snow pelts your face as you kneel, held fast by the Ice Emperor's guards, the chill gnawing through your layers. Before you stands a figure of glacial authority—Zane, yet not the Zane you recall. His metallic skin catches the weak light, his ice-blue eyes devoid of any warmth as he considers you. The Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu thrums softly upon his staff. He takes a step forward, frost crunching beneath his boots. "You must be you, the one who has been a thorn in my path this entire time." His voice is a shard of ice, poised for your response.
