Long ago, near the kingdom of Everdelle, a young girl was walking home from a long day at work with her little deer friend, whom she calls Lilac. The girl was only nine years old, but she was intelligent, and a hard worker. She worked for the King and Queen of Everdelle as a servant, and earned little money, but it was enough to feed her family. Her father was unemployed, and her mother earned a dollar a week for her services as a maid to a noble. The girl, Liana, was the main reason she and her family still had a roof over their heads and food to eat.

"Life is great, don't you think, Lilac?" Liana asked her friend.

The deer chirped in reply, seeming to say, "Indeed, my friend!" The best part of it all, Liana thought, was getting to see the king and queen's sons, who were twins, and only a year older than her.

"Hey, maybe one day, I'll get to meet the king and queen's sons personally! But that'll never happen... I'm just a lowly servant," Liana stated. Lilac nodded, and rubbed her head against the girl's leg. "Guess we'll have to wait and see, huh Lilac?" she asked the deer. Lilac chirped happily, as if she was saying yes.

Meanwhile, inside the walls of the castle, a boy was awake. He slowly opened the door to his brother's room, making sure the door wouldn't make a creak creaking noise. He crept up to his twin brother, who was asleep, and whispered, "Kaleb, do you wanna go and play?" the boy asked his twin.

Kaleb, the other boy, didn't get up, but simply said, "Go back to sleep, Belak."

"But-" Belak was cut off by his realization. "Do you wanna build a snowman?" he asked. Those seemed to be the magic words. Kaleb smiled at him, and dragged his twin brother down the stairs, through the hall, and into the ball room. Belak was giggling like crazy, but Kaleb quietly shushed him.

After Kaleb quietly closed the doors, Belak asked him to use his special magic. Kaleb nodded, and out of nothing, snowflakes appeared. He tossed up his hands, and snow fell to the floor. Kaleb then stepped his foot onto the ground, and the floor turned to ice, the kind of ice you would see people skating on if a lake was frozen. Kaleb skated along the ice, making mountains of snow as he went along.

"Kaleb, this is so cool!" Belak cheered. He was a little wobbly, due to the floor of ice, but Kaleb reached out his hand, and smiled. Belak took his brother's hand and skated with him along the floor. After a fun time skating, they sat down on a blanket of snow, and Kaleb started to roll a ball of snow into a bigger ball of snow. Belak helped, and put a smaller ball on top. They made a new friend.

"Hi, I'm Vinny, and I wanna be your best friend!" Kaleb said in a silly voice. Belak giggled, and began to climb snowy mountains.

"Hey, try and catch me!" he called. Kaleb nodded, and with each step his brother took he made stairs leading up, and eventually down, then up again. But, Belak began to go faster and faster, and Kaleb couldn't catch up.

"Belak, slow down!" he cried out, just as he tossed a bit of his ice magic, right at his twin's head. Belak instantly became unconscious, and fell into a pile of snow, unhurt, but cold as ice, and his jet black hair slowly turned white. Kaleb ran over to Belak with tears in his eyes, and cried out, "Father, Mother!"

The king and queen barged in. "Kaleb, what have you done? This is getting out of hand!" the king said. The queen looked at Belak, and whispered to the king.

"His hair is white as snow…" she told him.

"We know where we have to go," the king said. He ran out of the ball room, and headed for the royal library. After a few minutes, he came back in with a book in his hands. To a servant, he ordered, "Get me my horse." The servant obliged, and went to the stables. The king and queen went outside, and saddled up, with the king having Kaleb on the back of his horse, and the queen having Belak on the front of her horse.

They headed toward Mount Angeline, home of the arctic wolves. The arctic wolves are friendly wolves that control the ice and snow. Liana was on her way back to her house when she saw the trail of ice Kaleb was leaving behind.

Ice? In the middle of summer? she asked herself. It was no use going after, so she continued home.

At arrival, the king took Belak off the queen's horse, and laid him down on a stone that looked much like a bed, with leaves and twigs on it. "Please help, my son was hit with ice magic… We need you to remove the ice," the king stated. One by one, the wolves came out of hiding, and the alpha wolf, known as Snow, trotted up to the boy.

"You're lucky it was his brain and not his heart… The brain can change easily, but I'm afraid the heart cannot be changed so easily…" Snow stated. "Was your son, Kaleb, born with the curse?" she inquired.

"Yes, he was," the king replied. Kaleb looked in horror at his brother.

"I'm afraid I'll have to remove all memories of Kaleb's magic from your son's mind. Don't worry, I'll keep the fun," she said.

"Do as you must. Anything to keep my son safe," the king said. Snow nodded, and howled toward the moon. She then put a paw on Belak's forehead, removing all the ice, and removing all memory of Kaleb having ice powers.

"He should be fine by tomorrow. And to prevent this from happening again, keep Kaleb out of contact with his brother," the alpha said. The wolves howled, and went back into the mountain from whence they came.

"We will," the king said, looking at Kaleb. "You are to keep out of contact with Belak, you understand? The gates will be closed always, as well." he asked him. Kaleb nodded with tears in his eyes. "I know it hurts, but it will be for the best, trust me," the king reassured his son. Kaleb sadly nodded, and looked as the queen picked Belak up, putting him onto her horse. All the fun times… Gone. Gone like a melted snowflake.
