Chapter 1 - Prologue

Adroza the world where many creatures make their home has always been torn between two sides of light and dark, war raged across the world, kingdoms disappeared, empires fell on both sides but the never ending war that takes many shapes never stopped. 

But the far reaches to the north of the world Adroza lies the frozen land, a land so deadly that even the creatures that adored the cold could not withstand the harsh climate of the frozen land.

The land beneath the ice and snow took shape for the first time, it created a creature that was known as the elemental king or as it was later known by the beings of Adroza king of frost. 

The being that walked on the frozen land for the first time felt sadness because it was still alone and no creature would live on the land he calls home. 

The king decided to change the land he lived in as he certainly had the power to do so, he spent countless years to shape the new land he desired, the frozen land of death was no longer a death land as creatures and animals made it their new home.

The king was happy with this but he was still saddened as the creatures and animals never dared to approach him not even look at him.

But that all changed one day when a group of creatures with long ears he had never seen before made their way through his land, he was happy to see new and exciting creatures, but the strange thing to him was the other group of creatures that were riding yet another strange creature, they were holding strange things in their hands.

The group that was riding the strange creatures caught up to the strange eared creatures and did something that upset the king, they have just taken a life, fresh red liquid stained the land as the snow absorbed it.

The king did not like the scene in front of him, he made his way towards the creatures and he arrived like a thunder.

Before the creatures stood a 3-meter tall creature made of blue and white crystals, his blue eyes looked over towards the group that had the long strange ears, they looked at him with disbelief and they all huddled with each other.

"What the fuck is this!?" while the other group that was riding strange hairy creatures stood before him with those dangerous things in their hands.

The hairy creatures were very afraid of the king as they constantly tried to run away from the king, the king was not upset about as all the creatures living in his land were like that.

"Captain is this thing a golem!?" one of the riders asked as he pointed his sword at the king.

The king looked at the strange creature and thought about the word the creature said golem? 

While the king was busy with his thoughts the so-called captain of the creatures spoke "I don't know Jait but that thing is in our way chop it down to pieces maybe we can sell its body parts after we capture those elves!" the creatures charged at the king with their swords.

"Take this!" one of the creatures was first to reach the king struck down on the king's crystal body, but he was shocked when his sword broke on the king's body.

"What the hell!?" the looked dumbfounded, the king looked at him with his eyes, for the first time he felt annoyed he raised his giant crystal hand, he wanted to move the creature away from him but he did not know his own strength as the rider flew a couple of metres and crashed down on the tree along with his hairy creature they did not move.

The king looked at his own hand and thought so this is how it feels to take a life, I do not like it.

"Fuck Drei!" one of the riders yelled as he galloped towards the fallen comrade when he arrived he just raised his head and looked at the creature called captain with teary eyes "Captain he.....he is dead....my little brother is dead!" the captain frowned and yelled out.

"Retreat fall back steel does not hurt this creature, let's leave this forsaken place, let those elves freeze to death who cares anymore!" the captain turned around with his hairy creature and the rest soon followed even the one that looked with eyes filled with hatred towards the king.

The king let them leave and turned around and looked at the creatures that had strangely pointed ears unlike the other group and their faces and hair looked differently they were more elegant as far as the king understood he slowly made his way towards the group of shivering creatures.

One of the creatures walked towards him with a little creature that resembled the one that walked towards him, he was shivering, he kneeled down and started to speak.

"Great spirit of ice please forgive us for trespassing upon your land, but we had no other choice, our town was invaded by the human outlaws we truly had no other choice but to flee into your land please forgive us!" the creature yelled.

"Please forgive us!" the rest of the strange eared creatures yelled and they all kneeled down.

The king was at the loss as what to do but he noticed the little creature that the big one was carrying in his arms had strange eyes he felt as the light within her was leaving her he bent down and took a closer look and for the first time in his life he spoke.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"What is wrong with that little one?" he spoke in a low and cold voice that made the pointed ears creatures shiver and tremble even more.

"That...um she is my daughter, she is very sick, she has been like this since birth, and this land is harmful to her and the rest of us" the creature mustered his courage and spoke up.

"Is that so" the king looked in wonder than an idea flashed through his mind.

"Why don't I help her?" the king asked with his voice that made the elves want to run away as far as they could, but the frozen land stands in their way.

"I...r...." before the pointed ear creature could speak up the king already placed one of his giant crystal finger on the little one's forehead, a blue light shone and it made its way into the little one.

"Freya!" the older creature yelled as he hugged the little one.

When the light disappeared all of the pointed eared creatures looked stunned their eyes were wide open as they stared at the little one that now had a pale white skin, her hair that was once blond was now white as the snow they were standing upon.

"Freya!?" the older one shook the little one and yelled as few tears fell down his face, he turned and looked at the king with eyes filled with hatred as he was about to say something a little voice came into his ear "father?" he looked down towards Freya in an instant.

The little one opened her eyes that were crystal blue and looked at her father that stared at her with teary eyes, she suddenly stood up and looked at the king, strangely she was not afraid of him at all and she even gave him a little charming smile.

"By the gods!? Freya is walking!" some of the creatures yelled in surprise even the one that she called father was crying as he hugged her and raised her up in the air.

The king quite liked this situation he longed to hear happy voices. 

"Great spirit I thank......I am truly grateful for what you have done!" the older one kneeled down once again with a tearful face, but his face became gloomy once again, the king asked him out of curiosity what was wrong with him.

He started to speak about the misfortune that had struck down his town and his people, he had learned the name of the creatures that had chased the ones called elves they were humans.

The king had bad feelings about the creatures called humans all he could see their greed and lust for the things they do not have he formed his first bad impression about something.

These elves had no home to return to, as they had lived in a small town outside the great Woodland kingdom, they could not take refuge in the kingdom in other words they were left for dead.

The king had another idea and with a happy voice, as much as his cold voice could be happy he spoke to the male elf.

"Then how about you make this your home?" the elf was left speechless, he looked around and with a forced smile he spoke.

"I do not mean to be a rude great spirit but this....your frozen domain is not suitable for us elves" he forced a smile as he spoke to the king.

"Umm... that is not a problem ask your little one over there" the king pointed at the little elf girl Freya that was currently playing in the snow rolling around.

"Freya what are you doing you will get sick again!" the man yelled but Frey turned around and smiled at him as she spoke happily.

"Father it is not cold at all and it feels really nice!" Freya continued to play in the snow as she giggled and laughed.

"That.." the male elf was without a word, his daughter that was born with a weak body that even sun rays could hurt was now happily giggling and playing in the snow in this frozen land that was once known as death land he was speechless, as he looked at the king.

"Well I can make you like that as well, I can give my blessing to your people as well and then you can live on this land" the king spoke and looked at the male elf.

"I....I want to talk to my people first is that alright?" male elf spoke as he looked up at the king.

"Very well take your time" the king sat down, the ground shook a little this made some of the elves loose their balance and fall down into the cold snow, they quickly jumped up and shivered as they cursed a little.

The male elf went over to the other ones and they started discussing among each other whether they should accept or decline the offer the king made.

The king waited patiently for the elves to finish their discussion as he waited the little one crept up to him and touched his crystal hand.

He looked at her with his cold blue eyes, she also looked at him and gave him a warm smile as she spoke to him.

"Granpa, can I sit on your shoulders?" little Freya asked as she looked at the king with charming little blue eyes.

"Granpa what is that?" the king asked curiously as he looked at her, she changed her expression as she started to think.

"I don't know! But can I?" she yelled loudly and then asked for him to let her sit on his shoulders, which he did not have any idea why she wanted but he did not have reason to decline.

"Very well, hop on little one" he extended his giant hand and opened up his hand so the little Freya could stand, he carefully moved his giant hand towards his shoulder, Freya jumped on his shoulder and sat down closely to his giant crystal face she giggled and laughed.

"Waa... so high!" this made the king strangely comfortable and happy for the first time since his existence.

"Freya!? What are you doing get down here!" the male that Freya called father yelled down at her but she just ignored him and stuck out her tongue at him as she giggled.

"Why you little....sigh" he was about to yell but he let out a deep sigh and looked at the king that was already staring at him.

"Great spirit we have made our decision, we wish to stay and live on this land, please grant us your blessing to do so!" he spoke to the king and kneeled down respectively towards him.

"Very well" the king stood up and raised his giant hand blue light started to shine out of his hand, the light started to fly towards the elves that were kneeling down, and slowly made its way inside their bodies, their bodies started to change as their skin started to pale their varied hair colours started to become white and their eyes now shone like a blue crystal.

The elves looked at each other with a happy expression they no longer felt any cold rather it was quite pleasant for them to feel the snow and cold, they looked at the king with happy expressions, they no longer felt any fear towards him they now felt connected to him and they were filled with gratitude.

"Now you will need a new name how about ice elves?" the king spoke.

"It is indeed a great name, we are honored to call ourselves that great king!" the elves now known as the ice elves kneeled down once again.

"Me king?" the king looked at them strangely, what is a king?
