It was a quiet day in the land of Ooo, the people of the Candy Kingdom were completely safe for once, Finn and Jake were helping Princess Bubblegum with a science experiment, and Marceline was relaxing at her home, playing her Axe-Bass. All was not as it seemed, however, as in the land of the Ice Kingdom, trouble was brewing, albeit in a very unexpected way. In the depths of the basement of the Ice King's mountain home, the Ice King was once again attempting to create a life, like he had done with Princess Monster Wife. This time, however, was different. The Ice King was attempting to create a son. He had found the body of a young adult human male in a cave, only about a few days old surprisingly, and got the idea of bringing him back to life as his son. It only took him a day to prepare, but he was sure that it would work. He made a smaller Snow Golem heart, based on the size of his own heart, and created a smaller Ice Crown, touching his crown to a silver and amethyst crown he had found, and concentrating on giving it power, giving it the magical properties of his own crown, albeit only a fourth as strong.
After he had finished the creation of the Ice Crystal, the operation began. He placed the silver crown upon the teen's head, and afterwards, opened a way into where the heart in the body was located. After removing the human heart, he inserted the Snow Heart. After ten seconds of nothing happening, Ice King cursed, pounding a fist on the ice table that the teen lie on. "No! I will not fail! I will have a son!" He reached into the chest cavity once again with both hands, and channeled as much power as he could into it. Ice formed around the heart, and then the tubes leading into the heart began to turn blue, and began to fill with snow. The skin of the body began to turn the same blue as Ice King's skin as the snow filled the veins. Then, just as the snow reached the part of the teen's head where the silver crown lay, the crown lit up, a blue light emanating from it, filling the room. Ice King stepped back, watching the glow from the crown cover the rest of the teen's body. After a moment of light, the glow began to fade, and although the teen's whole body was blue as Ice King's, and his long unkempt hair white, and his nose slightly pointy, he still lie on the ice table, motionless. Ice King growled, angry that he had failed. "Oh, curse it! Why do my plans never work the way I want them to?" He began to pace back and forth across the room. "Every time I get close, I only suffer defeat! It is as if I am only destined to fail."
A groan came from the direction of the table, and soon after, so did the voice of a young adult male. "Oh, bollocks, why does my chest hurt?" Ice King turned towards the source of the voice to see the young man sitting up on the ice table. The place where the teen's chest had been opened to insert the heart was now completely sealed, save for the scar that lie where the opening had been made. The teen looked around, and as he and Ice King looked at each other, the teen's ice blue irised eyes opened wide in shock. He tried to back up, but only fell off the table upon doing so. He stood back up quickly to look at Ice King once more, swallowing hard. "Who are you, and where am I? I... I thought I was dead!"
Ice King chose his words carefully. "I am the Ice King, I rule over the Ice Kingdom, where the cave you had died in is located. I found you in the cave, and decided to save you by any means necessary. Unfortunately, the only way I could save you, was by turning you into the same thing as me." He held up his hand, and encased it in ice, showing the teen his powers.
The teen was confused, and looked down at himself, seeing his skin was a different colour, and noticing the scar on his chest. "What..." He looked up at Ice King. "Whot?" He grabbed a hand mirror that was on an ice counter next to him, and looked at his face in the mirror. "Whot?"
"Now, now, I know it's a lot to take in, but please, bare with me. How about I tell you some of the benefits of being an Ice Wizard like me." He held up his hand and encased it in ice once again. "First off, like I can, you can bend the elements of ice and snow to your whim, summoning the both of them from nowhere with the magic that your crown grants you."
The teen looked at his hand, and try as he might, the only thing he could conjure up was small snowflakes that fell from his hand. "No way..."
"It gets even better, trust me. Another benefit is that you will live forever. The way you currently look right now, is the way you will look forever." Ice King said, smiling at the fact that the teen seemed to be warming up to the idea of being an Ice Wizard.
The teen looked in the mirror again, at his eighteen year old face. His nose was more pointed than it had been before, and his skin and eyes were pale blue, but other than those things, he was a pretty normal looking guy. He smiled. "So I'm going to be this sexy forever?"
Ice King chuckled. "That's right. Now then, come with me, and I will show you the last benefit of being an Ice Wizard." Ice King headed down a hallway, and the teen followed, in awe at the structure around him. He marveled at all of the ice statues that were around the mountain castle, and at the hall they walked through full of pictures of the many princesses. As he lived off of the land, the teen had only heard of the princesses from the creature folk he had spoken to, but had never been to any of their kingdoms, or even seen any of them before. But as he looked upon the pictures of the princesses, he saw their beauty for the first time, and was surprised that such gentle looking girls would be the leaders of kingdoms. After a few more rooms and halls, they came upon a room with a large triangular opening in the wall, which showed a large portion of the land around them. They stopped in front of it, and the teen looked out at the winter wonderland before him. Ice King spoke once more. "Now, you see the land before you, the beautiful fields of snow, the artistic mountains rising from the ground, their slopes completely blanketed by the sheets of snow that cover the land? All of this can be yours. You could rule the Ice Kingdom by my side, if you so choose." He turned to the teen, and looked him in the eyes, completely beaming with his smile. "What do you say, will you take upon the honour of being the Ice Prince? Will you... be my son?"
The teen's face was one of surprise at the offer. He looked into Ice King's eyes, and saw in them the comfort of a true father. He then looked out upon the land once more, and truly could not resist it's grand and illustrious beauty. He swallowed hard, and turned back to Ice King. "I don't know, it's a lot to take in all at once. I mean, to rule an entire kingdom, let alone one of Ice and Snow, that's... that's a really amazing offer, but..."
"There is one last thing I forgot to tell you. The last benefit of ruling by my side." He gestured to the land once again. "Past all of the land that my kingdom covers, are the many other kingdoms of the land, all ruled by the beautiful princesses that you saw in the hall of their pictures I have. Together, as father and son, you and I can take hold of whichever one you like. Be it the Skeleton Princess, the Breakfast Princess, or even Princess Bubblegum, they can be yours if you so choose them to be. Together, you and I, father and son, we will take hold of the princesses of the land of Ooo, and make them ours!" Ice King held his fist up, and had an epic look was upon his face. He then stopped to look back at the teen, his kind smile returning. "So, hehe, what do you say?"
The teen took a deep breath and sighed, looking down. Then, he suddenly looked into Ice King's eyes once again, his face serious and confident. "I accept... Father."
