Hello people this is chapter 12 of Ice Princess.

Glaicer sat by Alex's bed trying to hear a sign that he has woken from his sleep. He had a slight, fever but nothing big. Glaicer sighed, hoping that he woke up before the ape attack. Then Cynder entered the room.
"Hey Glaicer, has he woken up yet?" Cynder asked.
"Not even a flicker. I'm worried that he will not wake up by the time the raid starts," Glaicer said. Then she noticed someone missing, "Cynder where is Spyro?"
"The guardians are trying to teach him to be a dragon general in case Alex does not wake up in time," Cynder said with a little disappointment in her voice, "The problem is he does not learn it that well. Every day he comes home tired and depressed."
"I'm sorry, Cynder. If Alex would be good enough to wake up soon, he will make everyone happy," Glaicer said staring at him.
"Glaicer, why don't you go eat and go get some fresh air? You've been here for a while," Cynder said.
"Alright, I'll go get some food," Glaicer said taking Cynder's paw leading her towards the door. But before either of them could reach the door Alex started to groan and wake up.
"Alex!" Glaicer said running towards his bed. Alex's eyes fluttered, and the first thing that he saw was Glaicer's face staring at him.
"Hello, beautiful," Alex said weakly.
"Hey, Alex. Try not to move. Your body is still weak," Glaicer said.
"I only got stabbed. What's the worst that could happen?" Alex said as he tried to stand up. But he gasped as he clutched his stomach in pain.
"Oh…that's what," Alex said.
"You see, always listen to me," Glaicer said.
"Well how am I going to walk?" Alex asked.
"Here, I called in a favor. I think this will stop the pain for a while. SPARX!" Glaicer called.
"Ye…Yes your majesty?" Sparx said nervously as he entered the room.
"That's more like it. Now please heal Alex. His injury is acting up," Glaicer said.
"Of course," Sparx said, immediately flying towards Alex who was quite surprised.
"Dude, what happened?" Alex whispered.
"Ms. Blue scale over there has got me on a leash. If I screw up, she is going to do terrible things," Sparx said, shivering in fear. His hands then started to glow and the pain on the stomach slowly started to fade away.
"Ahh, thanks Sparx," Alex said, getting out of the bed slowly.
"No problem, I'll be off now," Sparx said, flying out off the room.
"Wow, Glaicer, what did you do to him?" Alex asked as he limped slowly towards Glaicer and Cynder.
"I just taught him a lesson he won't forget soon. Now lets go the cafeteria. You must be hungry," Glaicer said, nuzzling Alex towards the door with Cynder outside waiting. All 3 of them soon reached the cafeteria and started to eat. But while they were eating, talking, and laughing, Spyro was walking through the halls tired and trying to find Cynder.
"Uggg. when will Alex wake up!" Spyro said to himself. As he was walking through the halls, he bumped into his brother Sparx.
"Hey Spyro! Why aren't you with Alex and the others?" Sparx asked
"What, Alex is awake?" Spyro asked.
"Yeah, dude. They are in the cafeteria eating and stuff like that," Sparx said, surprised he didn't know.
"Thanks for the info, Sparx!" Spyro shouted before running off, sliding through the students in the hall. He entered the cafeteria and immediately saw Alex and Cynder talking with each other with Glacier gone.
"Hey, guys! I see you're up, Alex. Where is Glaicer?" Spyro asked, pulling up a chair.
"I don't know. She said she was going somewhere and left. She has not been back since," Alex said.
"Is that a very good idea, Letting Glaicer go alone?" Spyro asked.
"Don't worry about it. Terrador came to pick her up. She will be fine." Alex said chewing on a steak.
"What do you think they wanted her for?" Cynder asked.
"Who knows. Maybe they are…" Spyro started, but stopped when he saw Ember fly into the cafeteria.
"Guys, there here…" Ember said, "Flame is in the front lines already and Terrador, Volteer, and Glaicer are in the command tent.
"Why is Glaicer there?" Alex asked, getting up from his chair with some difficulty.
"I don't know. But they said for you guys to get there quickly," Ember said "Now if you excuse me, I have to go with Flame," Ember said before flying away.
"Come on, guys! We got to go!" Alex said, scrambling towards the exit.
"We got to go faster," Muttered Cynder. She grabbed Alex and flew away with Spyro right behind her. They landed at the command tents where they saw all the students scrambling around. They entered to find a grumpy Glaicer, Terrador, and Volteer arguing.
"Guys! What is going on!" Spyro yelled they both turned on him.
"The army is coming and the students are in disarray. We need a general," Volteer said. Then they both noticed Alex, who was near Glaicer.
"Alex! We need your help. It says in your records that you have been studying dragon army tactics and strategy for quite some time, correct?" Terrador said.
"Yeah…" Alex said uncertain.
"We need you to organize the students. You have to be the general," Terrador said, "I have work to do. And Volteer can not go outside in battle in his condition."
"But I have no experience," Alex said.
"Doesn't matter. We need you. But if you need a substitute, meet Laygo," Terrador said, pointing at a completely light dragon, "He will take your place if you need to go or move somewhere."
"Fine, then I will do it…as long as Glacier is safe and in good health," Alex said.
"I swear that I will do all I can to ensure Glaicer's safety," Volteer said.
"Good, then I must leave," Alex said before running out the door yelling out orders.
"What can we do, Terrador?" Cynder asked.
"Go find Flame. He is in the front lines. Go with him and help in the battle. The apes are coming soon and we need to prepare," Terrador said before he ran out of the tent and flew off. Spyro and Cynder flew off leaving Laygo alone towards the sort of organized army and found Flame. They landed next to Flame who was whispering to Ember.
"And whatever you do I want you to live alright? No heroics…" Flame then noticed Spyro and turned away form Ember who flew off.
"Alright, guys, we have a pretty tough battle to win and I am pretty sure we can pull it off. But I am going to need help with this one. There are several aerial groups and I need Spyro to command one and Cynder to command another. Now take these. They will allow you to communicate with Alex. He will give you the orders. Now I must be off," He handed them a piece of paper and some strange whirring machine and flew off.
"Alright, we have to go link up with our squad…stay safe Spyro," Cynder said, kissing him.
"I promise," Spyro said before taking off. He found his group with a few students who were looking around nervously.
"Alright, group, I am your squad leader. You are to follow my orders whenever I give them. Understood?" Spyro asked. The other dragons just looked at him. He took a softer approach.
"Look, I am nervous about this to. Trust me. But we have to defend our new home, or it will be like Malfor's reign all over again. Now who is with me?" That really perked them up and they quickly got in line. Just then the strange machine produced Alex's voice.
"Hello…Hello, Spyro, you there?" Alex said.
Spyro looked into it and just spoke.
"I'm here. How did you make this?" Spyro asked.
"I like to invent stuff in my spare time…enough of that. I need you to fly above the army and watch for the apes. If you see them, tell me, alright?" Alex asked.
"Alright then," Spyro answered back. He then pressed the OFF button.

"Alright squad lets fly!" Spyro shouted before taking off. The rest of the students behind him cheering.
Spyro counted 10 students in the squad. They flew around the now very organized army with dragons flying around the army. Then in the distance, something blocked the light. Spyro squinted and saw the apes. He reached for the machine and turned it on.
"Alex! They are coming! I can see them!" Spyro shouted.
"Thanks for the Intel. Now get your unit to a safe zone and get ready for some orders," Alex said before signing off.
"Alright guys, fly over to the middle of the army and hover," Spyro said before flying off.

Alex was on a hill over watching the army and the approaching apes. His stomach twisted and turned as he saw the approaching army. But his mind was on Glaicer. He knew it was bad to think about her in the middle of the battle, but he could not help it. He pulled out his radio. And switched the frequency to Flame's unit.
"Flame, get your people spread out around the entire front of the army. Shadow is going to help you out with her unit," Alex said.
"Alright Alex," Flame said.
He saw the army now extremely close to his army. The apes were hooting and shouting and was in no formation. But there were thousands of them, maybe even hundreds of thousands.
He gulped and yelled out.
"For Home!" the dragon army cheered and got ready. The ape army was in range of an aerial attack.
"Alright, all aerial teams strike now! Free fire!" Alex shouted. Suddenly dozens of dragons flew over him firing fireballs, Earth missiles, and Giant icicles, and lightning bolts on the enemy army. Apes screamed and cried as the attacks hit them dead on and the archers were too frightened to fire who got hit the most. Alex just hoped it was enough. He watched as his aerial teams pulled out and the armies finally clashed with each other. The front line dragons fired out there breath attacks until they tired and moved behind the seconded line. The apes jumped over there fallen brothers and attacked the dragons. Seemingly, the dragons seemed to be winning at first. But it went into a stalemate. No side was winning and no side was losing. Alex looked upon the battle and prayed for all the dragons in those lines.

Spyro was dodging Arrows left and right. All of his team was injured and in the medical tent. He was on the ground killing apes left and right. He saw that the battle was doing badly for the dragons. Apes were killing dragons mercilessly. He saw Captain Shadow fighting an ape with her claws and he ran in to help her. But before he could reach her, an ape snuck in behind her.
"Shadow! Look out!" Spyro yelled. But it was too late. Shadow turned around just as the ape chopped her down with his sword, decapitating her. Her head fell off as her body stood there quivering until it fell into the blood soaked dirt. Both apes laughed until they were shocked to death by Spyro.
"Spyro! This is Alex speaking! They are killing all of our main captains! There is a spy in our army. Protect Flame. He is one of the last captains," Alex shouted sounding strained and worried.
"All right, Alex," Spyro said flying around the army looking for Flame. He looked down and saw horrors that he had not seen during Malfor's reign of terror. Dragons were getting killed left and right. An ice dragon that looked too much like Glaicer got her wings cut off. And while she was kneeling in pain, the ape stabbed her. He looked away and found Flame, who was back to back with Ember fighting off many apes. He fired a giant fireball, killing several apes and landing right next to them.
"Nice to see you," Flame grunted as he gutted an ape. They kept fighting, hoping that the army would win.

Alex was watching the army giving orders when suddenly he heard Volteer's voice weak and tired.
"Alex…Slarger came…took Glaicer…go find her…in forest," Volteer said. Alex's heart stopped and he yelled for Laygo.
"Laygo, I need you to take over the army for a while. Someone important is in danger," Alex said.
"Yes Sir!" The new General Laygo said before issuing commands. He ran off towards the forest, hoping to find her before its too late. He ran into the forest and suddenly heard a scream…Glaicer's scream. He ran as fast as he could towards the source and ran into a clearing. He saw Glaicer on the ground with Slarger standing on her neck threatening to break it. Alex roared and charged at him, but he tripped and slammed into Slarger. They both slammed into a tree with Alex ripping scales and flesh off. His rage blinding except with one objective. Kill Slarger. Slarger pushed him away and tried to claw at him, but Alex jumped back but slipped on his bad leg, causing him to fall face first right next to Slarger. Slarger raised his claw, ready to strike but then Spyro slammed into him, causing him to slam into another tree. Spyro held out his hand, pulling Alex up and he immediately rushed over to Glaicer. But just as he reached her, a giant shadow covered up the clearing. They thought it would be Terrador. But to both of there horror they saw him. And for once, Alex thanked that Glaicer was blind. It was just as hideous as Slarger skin rotting and scales loose. But they all knew him and they cursed the day Asuka was ever born.
"Who is it?" Glaicer asked.
"It's…It's," Spyro stuttered but Alex finished the rest.
"It's Cyril…" Alex whispered. The forsaken beast smiled at the mention of his name. But Glaicer did something that neither of them expected her to do. She got on her feet with determination in her white eyes.
"I knew this would happen. After Slarger, I just knew they would go this far…Spyro take Alex and go I need to handle this myself," Glaicer said.
"No! I will not leave you!" Alex said. But as much as Spyro hated it he grabbed Alex's bad leg and dragged him away with Alex yelling the whole way. Slarger sensing the danger flew back to his masters. It was daughter and Father face to face in mortal combat. Glaicer knew how to control her powers and she decided to do her most powerful move. One quick blow. She started to glow and she rose from the ground and suddenly panes of ice surrounded her. But she did not know that Cyril was doing the exact same thing. Both panes exploded at the same time, sending icicles flying in every direction. The icicles that hit Cyril tore bits of scale and flesh, but he did not even flinch Glaicer on the other hand was just lucky but Cyril decided to change that. He spit out a giant icicle. And due to all the noise she didn't even stand a chance. It pierced right in the stomach, gutting her. She gasped, then roared out in pain as she just fell to the floor.
Alex, who was still being dragged, heard the roar and slipped out of Spyro's grasp. He ran towards the clearing and what he found nearly killed him. He saw Glaicer lying on the floor with a giant icicle in her stomach while Cyril was moving to finish her off.
"DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" Alex screamed while his eyes turned to dark Flame and his scales darkened to pure midnight. He rushed over to Cyril and hit his head so hard he heard a Snap! Cyril grabbed his head and twisted back into position looking at Dark Alex with loathing. But he cocked his head as if hearing something and then flying off. Alex immediately reverted back to his original form and held Glaicer in his arms.
"No! Please, Glaicer, don't leave me here all alone…please." Glaicer did not open her eyes but he could still feel a heartbeat. He scrambled over to Spyro, who helped him try and take her back to the medical tent. But when they got back all was chaos. The dragons were in full retreat running into the forest, the apes right on there tail.
"How did we lose? I… thought we could win this," Alex said.
"You can thank this to me." General Laygo said, flying above them.
"You?" Spyro said.

"Yes me, you idiot. I gave false orders so they could lose. Asuka shall become the new Dark Master!" he laughed and flew away before either of them could do anything.
"Come on! The guardians said if we retreat, we all know where the safe point is! Come on!" Alex shouted. They ran, carrying Glaicer towards the campsite.
They arrived soon enough. Glacier's heartbeat getting weaker and weaker. They looked around and found the medical tent. They immediately took her in and saw dozens of dragons moaning on the stone beds. Volteer immediately saw them and saw Glaicer.
"Dear ancestors… what happened?" Volteer asked.
"No time! Can you save her!" Alex said. Volteer checked her vital signs.
"I am sorry but there is only one thing that could save her now. But the cost is too high…" Volteer said.
"What is it?" Alex said.
"Alex…how much do you love her?" Volteer said.
"I would die for her," Alex said without any hesitation.
"I was hoping for another answer," Volteer muttered.
"Why? What is it Volteer?" Spyro asked just as Cynder came through the entrance.
"Oh thank god Spyro you are…" Cynder started but then saw Glacier.
"There is a spell one that can draw any dragon from near death…but there is a price," Volteer said.
"What is it?" Alex asked.
"It…it is the life a loved one…" Volteer said everyone was stunned except Alex who was able to decode that from Volteer's question.
"I…I'll do it," Alex said.
"If we start the spell, there is no turning back," Volteer warned.
"No! It must be done," Alex said.
"No, Alex, please don't do this!" Cynder yelled.
"I have to, Cynder…I have to," Alex said. Volteer muttered the incantation and suddenly both Alex and Glaicer were lifted up into the air. Then a yellow string of energy connected Glaicer and Alex.
"I thank you guys for the friendship that you showed me…I will remember you guys forever. And tell Glaicer… I love her," Alex said before gasping. He grabbed his chest and his head suddenly hung loose.
"No! Alex!" Spyro yelled. But it was too late. Alex was gone. But just as he died Glaicer's scale started to gain its color back and the icicle disappeared. She gasped and then they slowly dropped back onto the floor. Alex's lifeless body hit the floor with a thump. Cynder ran over to check if he really was dead. She looked into his eyes they usually held intellect and curiosity but were now only lifeless and dead. She gasped and cried as she slowly shut his eyes.
"No Alex…it will be you who will be remembered." Cynder said. Glacier then awoke with a gasp.
"Where am I? How did I get here? Wait a minute. I…I can see!" Glaicer shouted joy in her voice.
"Yes. The spell heals all including any permanent damage to things that don't usually heal on there own," Volteer said.
"Whatever you are talking about? I have to go find Alex!" Glaicer said turning around and seeing his lifeless body.
"A…Alex?" Glaicer stuttered, unable to comprehend what she was seeing. Cynder started to cry even harder as Glaicer rushed over and saw him for the first time…and last.
"No…No this can't be happening. No!" Glaicer checked his neck pulse…nothing she looked at her beloveds face and saw a trace of the last smile he ever wore.
"No…No! ALEX!!!!" Glaicer cried to the heavens. Then everything went black around her as she collapsed.

I felt so sad as I wrote this. Please don't hate me. So lets do a recap. Glaicer is no longer blind but with her father Alex and Slarger dead will she have the will to live? Find out next time on chapter 14 because chapter 13 is going to be about Silver and Asuka. And other things that you don't know about our hero's and Villains.
