NOVEL FROG Chapter 6: Glacius, The Ice Elemental
Bored, Ariana decided to observe the humans for a little longer. Even as a Goddess, staying idle for too long left her extremely stressed. After Ariana gave her commands to the humans, they no longer remembered anything related to her.
From time to time, Ariana descended to Arcadia to take a look at the progress of the humans, assuming the form of a bird. This bird, which did not yet exist in Arcadia, was a kind of white raven with bright green eyes.
The humans, now more familiar with the area, were better adapted to their daily lives, knowing what each of them needed to do. Each of them chose a name.
There was Theo, a tall and slim man with long black hair. Safira, a beautiful woman with blue hair and green eyes, whose beauty made the world lose its colors. Aqua had long brown hair, exuding a calm and serene aura. In addition, there were Ekiles and Aurora, the first couple among the six, both beauties made for each other. Finally, Noah, a simple and serious young man, was the leader of the group.
Ariana spent days and days observing how the humans behaved. When they were not staying up late bragging about their discoveries, they went to sleep early after a long day of work. Theo and Noah were building a pen to put the chickens, cows, and pigs they had captured.
Aurora and Aqua spent the day planting and harvesting; now, with a large plantation, they were looking to plant fruit trees. Ekiles spent the day creating tools for everyone, while Safira made accessories and clothing. At times, there were even disagreements within the group.
Ekiles, with a frustrated expression, said, "Theo, I can't believe you left those vegetables lying in the field last night! They ended up rotting and spoiling.".
Theo, seeing how upset Ekiles was, quickly went on the defensive: "Ekiles, I was exhausted yesterday, just like all of us were. It wasn't intentional. Sometimes we forget things," he replied.
Hearing the argument, Safira entered the house and shouted, "Stop fighting! This won't help us solve the problem!".
With an indignant tone, Ekiles said, "But these vegetables were important! It was our food, our sustenance! And now we're facing an unnecessary loss".
Theo responded, "I understand, Ekiles. I'm truly sorry about this. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again," trying to calm the situation.
Aqua appeared concerned, "Guys, let's all calm down; fighting won't solve anything".
Ariana, perched on a tree in her crow form, observed the entire situation unfold. "Wow! This feels like a soap opera!" she thought.
Seeing that the whole group of humans was disheartened, after all, they had lost almost an entire harvest due to a mistake, Ariana decided to give them a helping hand.
With a simple gesture of her feathers, all the fruit trees planted by Aqua and Aurora grew.
The trees were now enormous, and there were so many fruits scattered on the ground.
The group of humans, hearing a strange noise, rushed outside to see what had happened. They were perplexed by the scene before their eyes; the vast field around their house was now filled with trees. "Is this a miracle? How can this happen?" asked Aurora, bewildered, and everyone in the group shared the same thought.
There were banana trees, lemon trees, orange trees, apple trees, and many other fruit species. Ariana widened her eyes at what she had done.
"Wow... I just wanted to make a few trees grow," she muttered.
[Your powers are controlled by your will, emotion, and desire. When you used your power to make the trees flourish, you had anxious thoughts about various other trees you wanted to see, which is why, in addition to the saplings planted by Aurora and Aqua, so many others sprouted.] - said the System.
"Oh! So that's it, I get it!" Ariana replied. "But removing the trees now would be too cruel, not to mention strange", she thought.
"With a sigh, 'Let's leave it and see how things go,' she said.
Some time later, the six humans returned to their normal routine. Aqua and Aurora, now every morning, walked around the trees to see if there were any new fruits.
Whenever they returned with baskets full of fruits, the whole group gathered and made a huge fruit salad, an invention created by Aqua by mixing all the new fruits.
Ariana came to check on the group of humans from time to time, and occasionally, she created a new species of vegetable or fruit, placing it somewhere random near where the humans stayed, allowing them to find it by chance.
Of course, Ariana always kept Angely informed of her new creations so that they could be spread throughout Arcadia.
Now that Angely understood better how her power worked, Ariana was no longer worried and gave her the task of creating animals. Since now Ariana wanted to focus on other things.
After some time had passed, Ariana began to fly over Arcadia. She stopped when she reached a place in her world where ice was forming.
It wasn't much, but several small ice islands were beginning to form. 'Why is this happening?' Ariana wondered."
[This is the upper region of your world where sunlight is rare, resulting in lower temperatures and the formation of small ice islands. If this trend continues, there is likely to be a significant increase in the amount of ice in this area in the future. However, do not consider this as something negative. These environmental conditions may promote the evolution of a unique diversity of life adapted to this specific environment. Additionally, this expansion of ice plays an important role in regulating the global temperature of the planet.] - Responded the System.
'Understood,' Ariana said, taking advantage of the sudden appearance of the System. Ariana decided to ask, 'Does this mean I can create life in this place? Is that possible?'
[For you, everything is possible. You can try to create it on your own, but there is a chance of failure, or you can ask the System for help using Creation Points.] - Replied the System.

"Great! I want a Creation of a Living Being," said Ariana.
Ding
[Living Being Creation Acquired, Do You Wish to Use It?] – Said the System.
"Yes!" Ariana said excitedly.
A powerful energy surrounded Ariana, and then she said, "In a moment of pure ecstasy, I, Ariana, the goddess of Creation, extend my will and divine power over the vast frozen expanses of this world. With a simple wish, I give life to a being made of ice, conceived from the elements that are my domains. Glacius, that will be your name."
It was when a small and adorable snowball with eyes appeared on the ground in front of Ariana.

Ariana bent down and picked up that adorable snowball that looked at her with devotion. "How can something so cute be so powerful?" she wondered.
It was when, for a moment, all the snow and ice around Ariana began to circulate and move toward Glacius. All the snow and ice concentrated in one place, and now the small and adorable snowball was tens of meters tall, it had become a huge ice giant.
Ariana was perplexed and amazed by such power. "How could I be so foolish? It's obvious that he could do that, after all, he manipulates ice," she muttered to herself.
Elsewhere, Angely, who roamed unknown lands bringing life, felt the presence of an extremely powerful being. "What is she up to?" she wondered.
