Ivan peeked in the dark, murky cave wearily. Because the murky cave was so dark, Ivan had to feel his way through the cold, frosty cave bravely. As he felt the walls for guidence, a wierd flap hit his face. He, Ivan, flapped his hands on the wierd creature so it would go away. Every step was breath taking and as he was taking every numb step the colder it got. After three hard steps, he made it into the shivery ice palace. It was very cold but Ivan had to keep going on. He was not going to give up on his brother, he was not going to let him down. He stumbled across a big patch of ice. As he got up he saw a big grotsque looking man.

Ivan could tell this man was cruel. Ivan could tell that this man was Starjik.

" What brings you to my Ice Palace, " bellowed Starjik " Do you know that everyone who has come her has died.

" I'm - I'm here for my brother " muttered Ivan.

" Your brother is not here," lied Starjik

" No," said Ivan " I can feel him, in here," said Ivan patting his chest
