In a lake hidden among crystal mountains, under the coldest winter moon, the water began to boil without reason. From its surface emerged an impossible form: Lyra Frostfire, a woman whose face was a symphony of the elements. Her eyes burned like two eternal embers, her nose a diamond of ice, her mouth blossomed with petals, and her entire being emerged from the liquid calm of the lake. The villagers said that water created her to maintain balance between extremes. When the sun's fire consumed the forests, Lyra wept, and her tears chilled the earth. When ice gripped the rivers, her flowery breath melted the winter. Yet Lyra did not speak. Every time she tried to utter a word, flowers burst from her mouth and fell into the water, withering instantly. One day, a traveler looked into her eyes and understood the secret: Lyra could not speak because she was the language of the world itself, a mixture of life-giving fire, preserving ice, reborn flowers, and flowing water.
