While ElsaThis will be a small story called "Cold Fire". I had to write a story for my English class, but I couldn't shorten it, otherwise I felt it would be left unfinished. So, in order to allow me to sleep at night, I've decided to share the story with all of you. This story will be released in chapters, and for each chapter, I will take suggestions and comments from all my readers. There will be an FAQ section before each story chapter, where I will answer some questions and comments that I found most compelling. I now give you, Chapter 1. Let the story begin.

Chapter 1
The Calm Before the Storm

On the 30th Parallel, in the Atlantic Ocean, there was a fairly small country, about 500 square miles, named Arendelle. At first, it looks like a peaceful country, the ideal place to live. But don't be fooled, for every moon has its dark side.
The ruler of the this land, Queen Elsa walks through the square of the city Arendelle, returning from another day playing with the children and her sister, Princess Anna. The children run around then, and disperse as the pair enter the castle. Elsa's second-in-command, General Edward, greets them at their return.
"Greetings, Your Highness," the general said, bowing. "And how are things with the children?"
"Well, they're as hyperactive as ever," the queen replied.
"Well, that's good, I suppose," The general says. "Also, you've received another marriage proposal."
"From who?"
"The Prince of France. Again."
"Ugh. Why is he so persistent?" groaned Anna.
"No clue," responded Elsa. "Well, I guess I'd better go in and see what he is trying to give me in exchange for my 'hand in marriage'."
"You have a good rest of your day. See you at dinner." said the general.
"Yes, you too."
After making her way up to her study, Elsa sighed at the three-page letter on her desk. Picking it up, she saw it was basically the same thing the prince wrote every time, just slightly more extravagant bribes than the last. Even though those things sounded nice, Queen Crystal new that it was better to marry someone who genuinely loved her, not some overly wealthy snob who just happened to have one of the largest fortunes on the planet.

Elsa had been receiving marriage proposals from multiple people, all in high social positions, but she refused them all. she felt that if somebody tried to get them to marry her by way of letter, instead of getting to know her, they must be doing it for some other reason than love.

While Elsa was writing a carefully thought-out return letter to "Prince Cheapskate", Princess Anna went downstairs to help out her cooks with the preparation of dinner. Now, some people questioned her for helping out her servant and cooks, but she shrugged them off, as she viewed herself as one who feels the need to help, and do some things for herself, so that she is valued for her skills and expertise in some fields, rather than her social position, i.e. her being royalty.
"So, chef, what are we preparing for dinner tonight?" she inquired as she entered the kitchen.
"Oh, Your Majesty!" the head chef says, bowing quickly at her sudden appearance. "We are making a stew consisting of ham, potatoes, and carrots. For the dessert, a platter of chocolate and peanut butter fudge."
"Sounds delicious," Anna commented.
Setting to work, the pair worked with the rest of the cooks to prepare the food. After an hour or so, the stew was ready, although the fudge needed to cook some more.
In the dining room, the Queen had the entire castle personnel attend dinner with her, as she and Anna both believed that they all deserved to eat at the same time together. The dinner was full of laughter and merriment, the ham stew was excellent, and the fudge was unbelievably soft, yet it still held its shape on the tray. Kristoff, Anna's boyfriend, tried to balance ten pieces of fudge on his nose, only to have them all fall directly onto his beloved, arousing a whole chorus of laughter from the crowd.
Later that night, Elsa went up to her room, where there was always a lit candle welcoming her. Changing into her nightgown, she placed her crown on the nightstand next to her bed. After saying a quick prayer to whatever gods may be listening, she crawled into bed and quickly fell asleep.
She barely heard the soft flapping of leathery wings outside her window.

I will update this story on a weekly basis. This is basically a "Starter Chapter", to set up the story. Hope you all will like this tale!
