Description
An egg is stuck under the ice in a frozen desert. The page has been crucified to the inside of the egg and been stabbed in the stomach with a wand. He harnesses his fire within with the help of the wand to melt the ice cage and with the power being stored in his chakras from the manipulation of fire energy, manages to crack his egg open.
Symbolism
The first cut is the deepest. Be it mental or physical, the cut, it only makes us stronger. The stab from the wand could kill him but he dangerously used it to his advantage, which is what fire is all about. As the page is young, that is why an egg is used. It is the bottom of the tree of life as symbolized by the stars. This is also why a desert ice land is used, for the 10th house of the tree representing the harsh world we live in. The crucifixion symbolizes his first realization that he has a purpose in this world other then himself. The powered up chakras represent the spiritual journey that happens in a life challenge.
