Hey everyone, here it is the long awaited sequel to Frost and Ice! This follows the movie loosely, as it jumps over a few scenes to focus on certain parts. I will put a short description at the top of each chapter so we all know where we are in the story line.
This plot came from suggestions by phantomtiger and dragonstarize. I have gotten other suggestions and will be making a one shot set to accompany these stories. If anyone else has any ideas they'd like to see please send them in a review and or a P.M. Also I love to hear what you all think!
10 years before the movie
The bright polar day, where the sun doesn't set for months on end, lit up snow and ice as Jack traveled towards his friends ice cave home. There it was, the entrance in the side of the cliff wall, open and inviting. Jack landed and walked in, "Icecrose?". His voice bounced back off the smooth walls, ceiling, and floor. Jack's Dragon friend prided himself in keeping his home tidy. And that wasn't easy when you're home was an open cave. Snow and small ice chunks always ended up being blown in. Meaning that the Dragon had to 'sweep' them out using his tail and wings. And especially in the long polar days of the South pole, the sun caused the ice to melt and refreeze continually. Resulting in icicle stalactites and stalagmites to form quickly. Icecrose would break them and resmooth the walls, ceiling, and floors with his ice breath.
Jack saw that the place was spotless, and that Icecrose wasn't there. He wasn't camouflaged against the wall, Jack double checked, so that meant he was probably at his training ground.
Jack arrived just in time to see Icecrose leaving, flying in the opposite direction. The Dragon didn't notice him, so the winter spirit thought he'd have a little fun with his friend. Flying at a short distance behind the Dragon, as silent as an owl, Jack saw Icecrose land and settled down on a peninsula that jutted out over the Arctic sea. When the winter spirit was in throwing distance he created a snowball, tinged with blue magic, and angle his arm back for Throw.
"Don't even think about it!"
Jack's arm fell to his side. "How'd you know what I was going to do, or that I was even here?"
A grinning muzzle turned to look at him. "When you're good friends with someone, you tend to know what they're thinking. And I believe we're good friends."
"The best!" Jack chucked the snowball behind him and sat down beside the Dragon.
"Normally I'd be more than eager to have a good snowball fight with you, but I feel like relaxing for a while." Icecrose's head turned back to gaze out across the sea. "This is my favorite place to do just that."
Jack had to agree. From this perch you could see the beautiful patterns and shapes of the icebergs. The sun reflecting off the water and ice made everything look like a golden Providence. The winter spirit felt at peace, as if all his worries could be taken and lost in the scene and that's just what he let happen.
After a while, time was hard to tell when it was always daylight, Icecrose rose and stretched. "So, you want to tell me what's bothering you?"
Jack gave a start. "You know something's wrong?"
"The same way I knew you were going to check that snowball at me."
Sighing Jack lamented. "It started a little over a week ago. I accidentally trespassed on some lava golems territory. I apologized and left really quick after I found out, I thought that would be it. Then a few days later, when I was giving a snowfall to a Canada forest, they attacked me! They kept chanting: 'ice bad.' And coming at me. At first I dodged but that only caused the trees to catch fire. When I tried to put it out the golems pressed their attacks harder. Finally I lead them away from the forest and managed to shake them after several hours. When I went back it was to a smoldering mess. The snow I'd put down before the attack had kept it small but the damage was near absolute. If it had been able to spread it could have headed towards human homes…." Jack let that idea hang. "They've been showing up often ever sense. Every time I see them I bolt, I've been able to keep ahead so far but it's only a matter of time before they find me and attack again."
"Hmmmm." The Dragon took on a thoughtful look. "Then I would recommend you had some back up."
Jack perked up at that, but his face fell soon after. "You can't be with me every second of every day Icecrose. And, truthfully, I need to find my own battles."
"Being wise about when to call for help is just as important as being willing to fight."
As Jack pondered those words Icecrose turned his long neck toward his back and carefully remove one of his scales. "Follow me." The Dragon spread his wings and lifted up into the sky.
Startled from his thoughts Jack was a bit slow to follow. When he reached his friend, the Dragon was holding a sphere of ice in his claw as he growled-roared quietly in Dragon. Both the sun and the moon, though it was faint and hard to see more than an outline of the lunar orb, were in the sky. (Only during a polar day were the two lined up parallel and insight such as now.) In the ice sphere was glowing with light it seemed to be absorbing from both. Jack watched as Icecrose tossed the glowing sphere into the air then with a mighty "crunch" crushed it between his teeth.
"Come here Jack." Icecrose said opening his mouth to reveal, perfectly pierced near the tip, the scale hooked on his front tooth. Jack removed the scale admiring it. "That scale is now bonded with my magic. It will never chip, scratch, or break. The hole I pierced can be used for thread or other cords so you can keep a close."
"It's amazing!"
"It's also a way to call me." Jack's head snapped up to look at Icecrose with a shocked face. "All you need to do is hold in your hand and call my name. No matter where I am or how far away, I'll here you and come to your side."
Jack hugged the Dragon's neck, "thank you!" He whispered.
Icecrose curled his neck around Jack in return. "You're welcome. Now, how about that snowball fight?"
"You're on!"
