She closed her eyes and whispered:
"Ice is strong… like the pride of the Ice Phoenix."
A surge of elemental energy burst from her.
The ice beneath her feet glowed and cracked—then reformed.
A crystalline deer emerged from the ground, forged from pure elemental ice. It gleamed with elegance, its surface glittering like frozen starlight.
Selene opened her eyes.
The real Ice Deer was staring at her—but it didn't charge.
She pointed at it calmly.
"Go play with her."
The crystalline deer leapt forward, smashing into the real one.
Boom!
Their antlers collided, sparks flying everywhere. They clashed—antler to antler—nearly equal in strength.
Selene narrowed her eyes and channeled more elemental energy into her construct.
With renewed power, her crystalline deer overpowered the real one—flanking it, then ramming its shimmering antlers into the monster's stomach.
The Ice Deer let out one final cry—then shattered into shards of snow.
