You inspect the RIME GATES. Something is written in RUNIC RIME LANGUAGE. Luckily, your HELIX traduces it for you:

The GRANDIOSE LAIR of the GRAND FROST KING
Frabjous joy to all it brings
For the RIME's KING is calm and fair
The lonely ISLAND has lost its green
The white evil grief only brings

That's... quite good, actually. You copy down the GATE POEM (there's no title as far as you can tell), and push the GATES. They rumble as they slowly move, and you can feel your muscles tensing. You enter the THRONE ROOM. The ROOM is composed of ALUMINOUS ICE, a type of ICE ALLOY, your HELIX tells you. The THRONE is grand, very spiky, and quite icy. You were going to pose very coolly on it, however, it seems...

You go up the RIGHT HELIX STAIRCASE into the GLACED COUNCIL CHAMBER. There are rows and rows of seats in an AMPITHEATER-LIKE FASHION in front of you, and much more behind and hugging the edges of the room. The HEAD CONUCILMAN's HEARING DESK is in the middle of the CHAMBER. Interestingly, each desk can also double as an ORATORY ROSTRUM if a PEDAL is pushed. However, you notice something peeking its head behind the HEAD COUNCILMAN's DESK...

You observe the VANILLITE happily orbit around the DESK while he releases puffs of ICE VAPOR as he goes. You scour the CHAMBER, stepping on a PEDAL that activated an ORATORY ROSTRUM. That seems to have awaken something from its slumber...

You keep looting the DESK, finding more USELESS PORTFOLIOS and some COUNCIL LOGS detailing each COUNCIL MEETING. You get up to stretch, and you take notice of a shadow behind you. Turns out, it's...

An EMPOLEON! So majestic!

The COUNCIL CHAMBER is divided by four STAIRWAYS: NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST, according to your HELIX. Each one is denoted by a RIME RUNE that is the first letter of each one (N for NORTH, etc.). The NORTH and EAST STAIRWAYS can take you to the HALLWAY that houses the PERSONAL QUARTERS while the SOUTH and WEST STAIRWAYS will lead you to the HALLWAY conducing towards the WORKING SPACES.

What will you do?

You climb up the NORTHERN STAIRCASE, the first NON-HELIX STAIRCASE you've seen in the CASTLE. You enter the HALLWAY. To your right, the SERVANTS' QUARTERS are located. Opposite that, the ROYAL FAMILY's CHAMBERS are to be discovered. However, something approaches you...

You arrive at the ROYAL FAMILY's QUARTERS. There are various ENTRANCE PORTALS; they're somehow spinning and rimmed by ice. Four are labeled by RUNEs, but a fifth one is a mystery. What it could possibly be? However, before you can enter, you encounter a dark figure...

It's a SMOOCHUM!

You now activate your HELIX. You point it at one door. In a robotic voice, it says "This is the PORTAL to the RIME PRINCE's ABODE. It is said to house the CATHEDRA OF FLOES. Many RIME WEAPONS are found here, due to the PRINCE's violent nature." You point the HELIX to the opposite side. "This is the PORTAL that leads to the RIME PRINCESS's DOMICILE. It is said her dress's cape was woven from the AURORA BOREALIS itself, and so were the curtains and her bed sheets." You point it at the door at the end of the HALLWAY. "This is the RIME KING and QUEEN's RESIDENCE. The two PORTALS present lead into one half of the ROOM, the KING's or QUEEN's. The two halves join up at the DORMITORY. It contains the ROYAL MACE OF FROST, belonging to the QUEEN, and the legendary HOAR SPADROON that belonged to the KING." You point the HELIX at the final PORTAL. "The contents of this PORTAL are currently unknown. All ventures into it have been unsuccessful and resulted in death."

Re: Aqua Land (now with Kalos Pokémon!)

Well, weapons could be useful before going into a place where no one has ever survived.

Ignore and go into the Prince's Room.
