Chapter 1: Prologue
The light was starting to enter through the windows and King Elias' eyelids were starting to fall tiredly. He was holding his one-year-old daughter into his arms. Suddenly a loud cry was heard all over the palace. He stood up as the baby started to wake up. Elias could hear the nervous steps of a servant stopping by the door.
- Your Highness, it's a boy!
A big smile crossed the man's face and in an unkingly way he ran over to the chamber where his dear wife had given birth.
He then stopped to steady himself and to give her daughter to a servant.
Finally he entered the room.
Queen Flora was laying on the bed with her hair a mess and her forehead shiny because of the sweat. She had a kind smile on her thin lips and looked lovingly to her now calmed son. He had a round red face and he played with her mother's hair.
King Elias looked proudly at his son and walked slowly to the bed. He gave Flora a kiss on her temple and started stroking his son's face.
- How are we going to name him? - asked the king.
- Elias, of course.
- How about Walter? It sounds noble and strong and it means "the one who leads well".
She then stared at him, surprised.
- I thought you wouldn't like to call him like your younger brother since you know...
- It's okay, my dear. If you want we can call him Walter Elias.
- As you wish.-she said approvingly.
Many years ago, Prince Walter and his brother Elias were playing on the garden of Corona's palace. They were having lots of fun but unfortunately there was an accident.
The littlest prince ran over to the fountain, which was deep enough for a six-year-old boy, and started to take off his chemise.
- What are you doing, Walter?
- I'm going to take a bath. - He said proudly.
- You can't do that. It's not safe. - reprimanded Elias.
- But it's sooo hot! - pouted the boy.
- I'm gonna tell mom!
And then he stormed out leaving his brother with a hesitated look on his face. Nevertheless he shrugged and hopped in.
When his older brother came with his mother they found that the little boy had drowned.
Since that day Elias felt guilt growing inside him. It was his fault. He shouldn't have gone away; he knew how his brother was. His older brother, William, always thought that the accident wouldn't have happened if Elias had been there. That is how they grew apart, becoming two strangers.
Many years passed and now William was the king of Arendelle and a married man. Elias was a king too. He married the princess of Corona, Flora, and had a family. A year before little Prince Walter Elias was born; the queen had given birth to the future queen of Corona, Princess Diane Primrose.
On the other hand, William and his wife Ingrid weren't gifted with any heir and that upset the king of Arendelle a lot. Inside him he knew that it wasn't Ingrid's fault but he couldn't help being angry with her all the time.
He had thought marrying another woman but he wasn't capable of killing her. So instead, they condemned themselves to live in an endless nightmare, William because he ignored her wife and felt miserable, and Ingrid because she felt pity and disgust of herself, blaming her body for not producing children.
This is the story of these two kingdoms, Corona and Arendelle, the sun and the snowflake, and how they rose to glory through pain, loneliness, romance, family and friendship.
