Yet, the discomfort was nothing compared to his determination to reach his destination.

With unwavering persistence, he ascended the mountain's peak, a lone figure against the pristine expanse of white.

The illuminated temple beckoned, a beacon of light against the night. Waylen's breath formed clouds in the frigid air as he entered, his features pale, his eyes burning with fervor.

Addressing the young disciple, his voice carried a plea.

"I need to see Mindy."

The disciple, hands clasped in prayer, offered a gentle denial.

“Changing fate is a challenge beyond measure. Please reconsider."

But Waylen's determination was unshakeable.

His impassioned pleas filled the air, echoing through the temple's hallowed halls. Reluctantly, the disciple conveyed Waylen's request, though the answer remained unchanged.

Waylen had made up his mind to seek for Mindy's help.

Undeterred, he knelt outside the temple, his voice a heartfelt entreaty as he pleaded, "Please save my wife and baby. I am willing to pay any price."

Mindy, enshrouded in a veil of mystery, sat in contemplation.

Despite his refusal, Waylen's fervor touched something within him. The disciple's report prompted a decision.

The veil of snow intensified, a curtain of white separating heaven and earth.

Waylen's figure, resolute in its purpose, knelt before the door.

In the temple, the disciple whispered to Mindy, "He is still here!" Mindy, a figure of enigma, sighed with a mixture of pity and gravity, “Such tangled destinies. Invite him in."

The disciple immediately ran out and let Waylen in.

Minutes Later, Waylen stumbled into the temple, his complexion pallid.

Mindy's voice, a whisper of guidance, pierced the silence.

“There is a glimmer of hope. However, to exchange their fate, you must embrace their suffering. Are you prepared to make such a sacrifice? But if you fall into the Inferno, not only can't you save her, but you may also be doomed and can never return to this kaleidoscopic world."

He thought that Waylen had to think about it one more time. After all, his Life would be at risk.

In the face of this dire choice, Waylen's answer came without hesitation.
