When King Adgar and Queen Idun found out they were expecting their first child; they were thrilled. They made sure they followed the doctor's orders to the letter. Queen Idun had wondered if her child might be born with ice powers. An incident with a frost giant during her first trimester had caused a great deal of worry. The queen was cured but the healers were unsure of the fate of her child. After that day, King Adgar researched all creatures that could control ice and snow. He even researched special healers just in case anything went wrong.
Gerda assured the Queen that she would be having a girl from the way she was carrying. Gerda was Idun's most trusted servant and respected her opinion. She often gave the young queen advice, which she always listened to.
Queen Idun woke her husband in the middle of the night. He quickly summoned the midwives and the physician. They rushed the Queen to the birthing chamber. As she gave birth, Adgar paced anxiously. Would something go wrong? What if the frost giant had damaged the baby? No. He forced himself to take a few calming breaths. He had to focus on something different. Like how soon would he have to wait to meet his child.
"Just a little longer Majesty," the physician assured her. Idun endured the pain and pushed. She knew it would all be worth it in the end. Soon the air was filled with the blessed wailings of an infant's first breaths. Finally Idun could relax. The midwives took the baby to clean her. As the infant's tiny fists made contact with the water, little icicles appeared on the surface. The midwives worked quickly to make sure the child did not freeze. They then handed her to her mother. She almost immediately stopped fussing when she felt the warmth of her mother's skin.
"Welcome to the world, my precious little snowflake," she said before kissing her daughter's small head.
By the time the door had opened, dawn had broken.
"You may enter, your Majesty. The Queen is doing well and your daughter is perfectly healthy," the physician assured him. Adgar nervously entered the room. The first thing he saw was the midwives, happily gossiping about the new princess. They moved out of his way, and then he saw his wife. Idun was as radiant as she was on their wedding day. In her arms was their child. The baby had hair as white as the winter snow. Adgar already knew that his daughter had the icy powers they thought she would. Adgar gently stroked her face. The infant's plump fists closed around his finger.
"She's perfect," he said, admiring her sweet face. He turned to Idun. "And you're perfect." Adgar gave his wife a tender kiss on the lips. The midwives then ushered him out of the room so the princess could feed. He walked out of the room and smiled. He had a daughter. Adgar knew that eventually he would have to deal with her powers, but he'd cross that bridge when he came to it. The royal couple had decided long ago on a name if they had a daughter. A name that meant oath of God; Elsa...
