I looked around to see the tunnel walls alight yet they looked fragile, almost like ice that I swore the walls are like Elsa's ice castle walls. Suddenly, I could see a snow leopard casually walking toward me, a slight smile on its snout. It seamlessly walked through the walls like it was nothing to the leopard. The leopard came up to me, as I tensed up, walking back slightly.

The leopard stopped and suddenly changed into a human woman. She had pale ivory skin, darker ice blue eyes, and her hair is ash black. She's wearing a dark green set of pajamas, with soft fuzzy black slippers. I slightly loosened my shoulders, watching this woman warily.

"Please let me speak, if you could.". The woman's soft, wind-chiming voice replied.

I nodded subtly, "You may speak.".

"I understand it has been so many years, but we knew each other just for a moment.". She sadly replied as she looked at me with this lost look.

I raised an eyebrow until I figured out what that meant. "You're my mother, aren't you?". I asked straight to the point.

Mother smiled, "You know, I had a name the only moment I saw you until I died too quickly, and your...sire named you Sierra. I wanted to name you 'Tatiana'. I have been peaceful up in heaven, but yet my blood boiled angry once I watched him hurt you. I was completely relieved when I saw that you escaped, and worried a lot when you became a mercenary. Finally, I was happy when you found the clan. I knew Sunrise would help you to be the woman I always saw in you inside.

I was Natali Catherine Fridashi until I met him. He was completely sweet and happy and he announced that the baby is going to be a boy yet I knew you were going to be a girl from my gut. I was horrified to see him change and blame my death on you when it wasn't your fault, sweetheart.". my mother finished sadly with a hint of anger toward the man who ruined my life.

I sighed heavily, "Do yo know what happened to him?". Mother nodded, "After your escapade, he went crazy and got drunk himself to death. Last I heard was that he was being judged by the Creator, then I very much briefly saw him for a minute, and I gladly gave him a punch to the head. He was sent to the spaceless Spirit World where he was sentenced to wander forever, haunted by nightmares almost every day.".

I asked curiously, "You don't mind me having a new family if I could?". Mother chuckled, "I know you wish to have a normal childhood again, and sweetheart, I don't blame you after being through so much back in the past.".

I softly smiled, "I may not know you, but yet you have been watching me like a true mother, and for that, I couldn't repay that favor, through I am so thankful.".

Mother slowly came up to me, our heights nearly matching, and she gently hugged me as she kissed my hair. I tensed slightly again, but slowly relaxed as I knew she couldn't hurt me. "I love you, sweetheart.". Mother whispered into my ear.

I softly replied, "Actually, call me Tatiana. I like the sound of it, and besides, I needed a new name anyway.". Mother sobbed slightly, "That makes me happy. And don't worry, I like your warrior name. Frostclaw, it suits you well.".

Mother backed away as she seemed to hear something I didn't. "I must go, my Tati. Be safe, and find a family. You deserve it.". I nodded firmly and a bittersweet smile on my face, "I love you, Mother". Mother smiled widely, then closed her eyes as she disappeared in a white beam. I exhaled a breath of relief like I was finally free from him, and a glance at Mother's old spot before I turned to see the end of the tunnel where two pictures switched, revealing Arendelle and the North Mountain. I smiled, then ran, and jumped where darkness enveloped me. A last thought ran inside me as I blacked out. I hope I could have a family.
