In this adventure, the brave Icecarl people are tired of the powerful Chosen. They decide it's time to fight back. Their leader is War-Chief Milla Talon-Hand. She leads her army to attack the mighty Castle. Milla is very strong and skilled. She has trained with a special Sunstone. She also carries a powerful talon from a creature called Danir. Milla is ready to protect her army no matter what dangers they face.

What Happens in the Story?

Milla's Big Battle

Milla's Icecarl army moves quickly. They attack the Castle's Red and Orange levels. These are parts of the huge Castle where the Chosen live. The Icecarls conquer these areas. They cause a lot of fear among the Chosen.

The Violet Keystone Mystery

During the battle, Milla uses a powerful force. It is called a Violet Wave of Destruction. This wave comes from her half of the Violet Keystone. At first, Milla thinks this is just a normal Sunstone. But as the fight continues, she starts to wonder. She begins to realize it might be something much more powerful and mysterious. This discovery changes how she sees her own strength.
