Hello my fellow readers! This is a new story that has been in my head for a while. I really like the idea, and I hope I interpret it well. I hope you all enjoy!
So, real quick, this first chapter is a prologue. I meant it to be taken as a series of letters or enties in a diary. Just know that after every line break, some time has passed. I can't specify how much, for that is up to you, but just imagine at least a year or so. Just a personal preference... I prefer to pause just a bit after each line break, and think of each entry as more desperate, more angry, more deranged.
Anyways, please enjoy!
Arendelle is lost.
Neighboring kingdoms numbers have plummeted down into the single digits. Our closest trade partners never heard from again. We are slowly loosing resources we cannot get from our secluded fjord.
They do not answer our pleads for help. It has been so for years now. Expeditions to see them have proven fruitless, never returning. What are we to do? Our kingdom is overwhelmed and confused in this time of indigence.
After years, some of our ships returned. They had little to information, and even less to help their people. Some of the men who returned, came with a sickness of the mind, that sent them into a daze, but not before they delivered the only thing they returned with.
All that they returned with were rumors. Rumors that a war had broken out on the other side of the north mountain, plaguing lands far and wide. They claimed it was a dispute started by the largest of kingdoms, that dragged along all others and would surely bring them all to their doom. Including us.
This one clue gave our king and queen an idea. Search our history, find such events, and see what was done. They found a particular story that cleared the air. A sense of reason must arrive in the barbaric arguments of the others. And so they sought to create one.
Time has been cruel to us. Winter has been long. Hunger has consumed us. But we have been refined. We now thrive on our own, and are strong. We shall stop this petty war and bring peace to all lands.
But our wise king and queen were stolen from us long ago. Before we would enter another era of despair, we crowned or young princess queen. Her elder sister denied the throne, but was still of importance. She sought to become the voice of reason, the unprejudiced leader who would stop the war. And so she did.
We fear there is something that lies in the unknown. Although the king looked to one story for guidance, we think there is another story that shall reign true. An old bed story. It is riddled with fantasy, but it could contain truth. All of those in Arendelle know the story well.
In a time of peace, with kind kingdoms and merciful leaders, there was an over abundance of great creatures known as dragons. They ranged in all aspects of life and were respected by all. The largest were the Bewilderbeasts, and among them, the Alpha Bewilderbeast. Queen of all dragons. She was merciful and protective of her kind, down to the last Terrible Terror.
One, truly deranged, grave man choose to destroy the peaceful creatures on account of some lie he told. He gathered a group of men who believed him, and began to destroy the dragons. He was hard to resist, that man and the lies he told, that many a kingdom began to aid him. The world was pillaged of its wonderful creatures, until just a few remained.
The Bewilderbeast and man faced off. The battle was long, but the Alpha was sure to win. At the last moment, the man impaired her heart with a spear, but it did not stop the Alpha from saving them all. She froze them all, including herself with her ice fire. With her final breath, she let out her very essence. This essence shall be absorbed by two children, of different lands, and they shall be very important one day. One shall inherit her heart of a chief, and the other, her powers of ice.
Haha, so what did you all think?
I would love to know, and feel free to make comments or ask any questions.
The main character of this story is Elsa, so I know you all will be expecting Hiccup. I'm sorry but his entrance is supposed to be a major plot point, and I shall not reveal its placement for the sake of surprise.
I hope hope you all enjoyed! Toodles!
