An owl flies in, screeching, startling both Henry and Lydia...

"Lydia..." Henry stammered, a flicker of fear passing over his face. He had never seen her so cold, so detached, yet, there was some kind of helplessness in her face that touched him deeply, made him want to reach out to hold her hand.
There was a pregnant pause for a long while, the air heavy with tension. Then Lydia sighed. Immediately, relief floods Henry's heart. She will never hurt him, he thought.
She said only one word: "Watch."
And she raised her hand, her eyes lifted to the ceiling, her hand trembling and curved into a graceful arc, and she murmured something intelligble. Diamonds fell from her hands.
It was magic.

As the cool autumn wind blows into the room, Henry suddenly realized that the window to the room is opened. No... it has actually been smashed. He checks on Lydia and is relieved to find that she is still breathing, just unconscious. Fortunately, Aaron is in better shape and his crying signals that he's alright.
After moving Lydia onto the bed, Henry goes over to comfort Aaron. It is at this moment that Henry realizes that the 'ice' is still in his hand... and it is actually dry. Curiousity makes him look closer... and he is greeted with a glitter that can only come from a precious stone.
"Diamonds?" And a floor full of them?! For the second time this night, Henry is filled with bewilderment.
"So you've finally discovered my secret...." it is Lydia's voice.

"Ice?"
Incredulity filled Henry's mind as the melting ice chilled his fingertips to the bone. Why was the floor spilled with them?
