In "The Star of Venus," a lone mountain climber stumbles upon a girl forged from ice, her presence both miraculous and mysterious.

A mountain climber meets a girl made of ice who saves his life and they fall in love. The ice people patriarch implants a mental block in the climber so that he will return to his own people, but it is less than 100% effective, because his love for her is so strong it produces repetitive falling dreams.
