PROLOGUE – WINTER IS COMING
Ice. Snow. Cold. The Ice kingdom was a frozen wasteland to many. A woman sat on a throne of ice. She had a heart that was frozen with ice. Her hair was white as snow. She was pale like the snow that covers the ground of the ice kingdom. They call her the Ice Queen. The mere mention of her name sent chills down your spine. Levana was cold and heartless. She was the Queen of the ice kingdom. It was a place where winter never ended and summer never came. The cold didn't bother Levana. In fact she loved winter and she hated summer.
One dreary morning while the Ice Queen Levana sat on her ice throne she held court with her fateful servant. He was the head alpha of her ice wolves packs. He was a very large wolf with fur blue as ice.
"Your Majesty, I have of the summer lands." He told her crouching low to ground.
"Tell of your news Amiry." She demanded.
"The leaves have started to fall and the air has started begin to chill."
"Excellent." She replied. Getting up from her throne she walked toward the window in the throne room. It was huge reaching to the top of the wall. "It is time to fulfill my plan of ending summer forever." Levana laughed wickedly. It echoes through the room.
The Ice Queen then opened the glass doors that led to the balcony. She raised her hands and casted her spell.
With ice and snow cover thy realm; bring forth your wrath with cold and sickness. End this summer for all entirety.
Clouds form high in the sky. Lighting crashed. Thunder boomed through the air carrying ice and snow to the summer lands. Winds blew across the land making the cold. Soon rivers and lakes froze solid. Waterfalls froze in their paths. Snow covered every inch of ground. Winter had come.
As the storm clouds covered the sky, villages across the land where rushing to get winter supplies. Throwing on cloaks to keep themselves warm. Smoke from chimneys filled the air.
Meanwhile, Princess Selene sat in her chamber room window. Looking down at the snow-covered courtyard. Everything was covered in a white blanket. The fountain in the middle courtyard was a frozen ice sculptor. Her servants kept the fire in the fireplace stocked, but that was barely enough to keep the cold out.
"Child, get away from that window before you freeze." Said a harsh voice from the entrance-way startling Selene.
"Yes, stepmother." Selene mumbled.
"Your father the king would like a word with you."
Selene never liked her stepmother. She disapproved of Selene being the eldest daughter and heir to the throne. For her stepmother believed that Selene was immature to be a ruler. She would much rather see one of her own daughters ascended to the throne.
Selene servants readied her to see her father. She couldn't after go see the king in her under garments. Once she was ready she toward her fathers study chambers. Two guards who stood on either side opened the huge doors that reached the ceiling. She walked through.
"You wanted to see me father." The princess addressed her father with a curtsy.
"Yes," He replied but did not move from the window he was standing at. He sighed with regret. He turned to face her. "I…I…I…" Then clasped on the floor.
"Father." Selene ran over to her father, "Father." Tears streamed down her face.
Soon the room filled with servants. Her father was then carried to his bedchamber. Princess Jocelyn ran after them. She couldn't help wonder if her father was going to die. She kneeled by her father's bed.
