It's been about a year sense the Arendelle shoulders first came. Sense than they've been bringing over workers and soldiers to make a thing called a dame.
Kind of like beavers make dames, except made of stones shaped in rectangles.
We know the world has evolved more in-depth, but we choose to live simpler lives. Within a year our friendship with Arendelle has evolved more than we could dare hope.
Mother seemed just as excited as the rest of us, but I've noticed sense spring first made its way, she's seemed worried.
As if she's pondering to herself, asking unspoken questions.
I've asked her what's wrong, but she smiles to set the world back into balance for me, and goes her way. I went to Papa to ask what he thinks of it.
I found him discussing more with Arendelle's envoy. They were discussing the dame and it's features of how and why. It seemed father had the same pondering as mother, but his response was worse.
"Your Mother is naturally wary of strangers, but she'll come around"
"Why doesn't anybody tell me anything?" Iduna pouted.
"Because it's not for children to worry about" father answered.
With that he made his way.
Grown ups never listen, Iduna thought.
I decided to go play with the wind spirit but she didn't seem to want to play today. The wind spirit likes to relax in the summer a bit sometimes.
Seeing she wasn't into playing, I headed towards the other kids of the village, we decided to scout the builders, ask questions when we could, or pretend we were building one too.
Before I knew it we were actually going to meet the King of Arendelle! Before the day was over, it was announced that our treaty with Arendelle was to be celebrated with a gathering.
Everyone in the village was scurrying with excitement. As future leader, I was assigned to gift the Prince of Arendelle with the first of our baby reindeer! Mother unfortunately spent her day making sure I stayed clean. Continuously brushing my always rat nest hair.
Not my fault if it wants to stay messy, I thought.
"Oh Iduna must you be so wild?!" Mother sighed.
Turning around to face her, I couldn't help but smile before relying innocently
"Because...I was born this way?" I teased.
"Iduna!" Mother said
Trying to hold back her laughter.
"Isn't it true?" I said.
At this she gave me her usual okay Iduna face, I turned back to let her continue.
It was a week before the gathering and mother was like a mother bird, at its nest, making sure it was at its best. Except it wasn't a nest it was my hair.
The rest of the week was spent setting up what we'd do in the gathering.
The Games, food, activities, and so on.
I looked after the baby reindeer I was going to give as a gift.
The Wind Spirit came back to play, once done with my chores and looking after the cave, it was me and the Wind again.
By mid week I had to ask the Wind Spirit to hold back until after the gathering.
Finally a week later, matching up, across the newly finished dame, holding the baby cave in my arms to present it the King and the Prince of Arendelle. I was so happy and proud to give our gift to our new friends. Mother and I stayed behind as our Leader went up to greet the King.
Looking from where I was, I couldn't see the king's face, but I did see the Prince.
His hair yellow like the sun, and his clothing was so pretty. A forest green coat, with patterns on it.
How long it took for his people to weave such clothing? I thought.
You could tell he anxious, very excited. I wanted to giggle, because he looked ready to take off. If this wasn't a ceremony he'd probably just run right into the forest.
I think he'd love to play with the Wind Spirit, enjoy our games. Except we'd probably have to go easy on him, he maybe excited but doesn't look to be the tree climbing, wind chasing type.
When it came time for me to represent our gift, I was greeted by Mattias. He was excepting our gift for the King. I was visibly disappointed, I wasn't the type to hide my emotions, but mother's hand placed on my shoulder reassured me. With that I handed our gift to Mattias.
Mother's hand was still on my shoulder, as she whispered to me.
"Don't worry, you'll get to greet them soon."
At this I pulled myself together, she's right. It will be fine.
After words of greetings were shared between our leader and the king, the celebration began!
It was wonderful, our guest seemed to like it, but after a week of preparing I was already bored, and the prince was kept close to Mattias, or other guards, so playing with him didn't seem to be an option.
But a sudden familiar wind passing through cheered me up.
Before sneaking away I looked to see Mother and Father showing some soldiers the water spirit. With that I scurried into the forest. Not far, just a stones throw away.
Like always the Wind Spirit blew me way into the air. Laughing carelessly, I was at my happiest.
Suddenly, it stopped.
