PROLOGUE
Queen Iduna stood outside on the balcony of her quarters, staring up at the starry night sky one chilly night. The Kingdom of Arendelle was fast asleep, but she could still spot a few lights from the village up on the mountainside, their feeble glow resembling a firefly's. The lake that surrounded their palace was still and calm, as if it were a gigantic mirror reflecting the heavens above. It was a beautiful sight and she sighed in contentment, her hands subconsciously rubbing her bulging belly. Two years after she and King Agnarr married, they were blessed with the child she was carrying right now—a girl, they just recently knew. She was thinking of what to name her child as she marveled at the sky, shivering slightly when the breeze kissed her skin. She wore only a long silken nightgown underneath her thick lavender robe, and was surprised that the wind was still this cold. Winter was almost over, and spring was just about to roll in.
She crossed her arms over her chest just as the wind began to pick up, ruffling her robe and causing the balcony doors behind her to creak and swing on their hinges. The temperature continued to drop, and soon Iduna started to see snow dust falling from the sky. "What on earth?" she said, for in the distance, across the roiling lake, giant clouds began to form, swirling around like a hurricane and blocking the stars. She squinted, and she could have sworn she saw blue lightning within the cloud. Iduna was both confused and bewildered—if it was a lightning storm, why was there snow?
As the storm drew near, more forks of brilliant blue light reached from the sky to the ground, mesmerizing her. The snow continued to fall and turned into a full blown blizzard, yet the Queen remained outside. But she broke out of her reverie when the door behind her opened and she heard a voice. "Iduna! There you are!" her husband, King Agnarr, yelled over the roar of the wind. "Come, get inside!"
"Agnarr, can you see this?" she cried, gesturing to the clouds and lightning before them, "What's happening?"
"Please, just get inside! It's not safe!" he yelled, furiously trying to keep the balcony door open against the wind and snow. Iduna took one last look at the storm, just as she saw an explosion of blue light from the center of the storm, blasts of light extending from the center outwards. Iduna covered her face with her arms just as the blast reached them. Extreme cold hit her body and she fell on her knees, shivering so badly that she could almost hear her bones rattling. "Iduna!" Adgarr cried, catching his wife just before she hit the ground. His wife was cold as ice, her eyes fluttered shut, her breaths quick and shallow. Her body was shaking like a leaf, so Adgarr quickly carried her inside, yelling orders for servants to come to their aid, just as the blizzard outside seemed to freeze in time, the snowfall slowing down to a mere drizzle.
