High among the mountain crags where the snows lay deeper and the chill air prods with a frigid finger, you encounter a lake in the throes of breaking off its icy armor, a necklace of sparkling aquamarine encircling the succumbing ice. Uncle brings out his camera to capture forever the beauty of the moment.Beside him, you ponder this scene of eternal struggle, sun against snow, radiant warmth against the unyielding shield of ice, and take your side.
Your alliance is with ice.

Weapon in hand, you campaign to reconquer the melted ice with a flurry of snowballs.

Calico, crusading beside you, hefts a mighty boulder.
She fires her frosty cannonball into her quivering victim.
But the necklace remains unbroken; the jubilant sunshine mocks your valiant effort.
You retreat, leaving your weakening ally lying on the battlefield.
You're off to seek a new adventure.
