Solveig's dragon☝🏻️

Solveig POV

"An invitation from the Ice kingdom" he said.

The Ice kingdom?? The last time I heard of them was when my grandfather made a truce with them,but since then they haven't spoken to us or made contact with us.

Initially the Ice people were the strongest of all the kingdoms and were the ones in rule. They would marry into other kingdoms and mix their blood making them extremely powerful.

Like us ,they were made of mostly ice and could control and conjure the element of water. In fact, my grandfather often told me stories of them and called them weird people.

He said they lived in their own world deep into the mountains, where it snowed everyday of the year and that they could not survive being out of their territory, as their blood required the cold all the time.

There might have been a truce made between us... but it was no secret that they were our arch enemies as a result of years of bad blood between our ancestors, so why were they inviting us into their kingdom now?? What was their agenda??

I took my envelope and opened it..

To whom it may concern....

Queen Rayna and King Ronar of the Ice Kingdom

respectfully request your presence at the coronation of Prince Ragnor, the first of his name.

The ceremony will be proceeded by a ball, in celebration of his highness' eighteenth birthday.

We look forward to your appearance with great appreciation.

King and Queen of the Ice Kingdom.

The sickly prince was finally turning eighteen huh. I thought.

It was no secret that the heir of the Ice Kingdom was a walking corpse. Everyone knew he was born with a rare disease that no one knew anything about and that his time was like a ticking clock! I'm surprised he even lasted this long..

If I'm correct.. this will be the first time that anyone has ever seen him.. his parents always kept him inside all the time, in fear that he might catch something. He was known throughout the kingdoms as The Faceless Prince

I couldn't help but wonder what it must be like to have your parents pinning over you all the time. I'm sure that brat doesn't even know how good he has it.

He's just a weakling after all.

I laid on my bed as my thoughts drifted off the mystery prince. At least that's what everyone called him.

What did he look like? Was really he as weak and sickly as everyone made him out to be??

I couldn't understand why he suddenly piqued my interest, but I found myself asking a series of questions pertaining to him.

_______

"You're going as well?" My father asked me as he got dressed.

"I was invited too you know."

"True, what do you suppose they're up to. It's been nearly fifty years since they interacted with us. "

"Since when do you care about my input?" I asked raising my eyebrow. Since he was aware of my hatred for him.. I felt no need to hide it anymore.

"Since you're the future king, and believe it or not.. I do value your advice" he said as he turned to me and placed his crown on his head.

Great.. here comes the narcissist. I thought.

I turned to face myself in the mirror. I felt so stupid. Never in my entire life did I dress up so much. Not even for my own coronation.

Apparently to Gunner, first impressions lasted, and since all the kingdoms would be there, he wanted me to look my best in case I would replace my soul mate.

I looked at the red garments I was wearing. There was no doubt I was a Prince of Fire... you could see it from a mile away. I swear I was going to beat Gunner up!!

I pulled my fur coat closer to my body as my teeth chattered. You could feel that we were now entering the Ice Kingdom.

There was literally snow everywhere and everything was white. You almost couldn't see if there was another person in front of you but as we went deeper, the snow disappeared .

This was so contrast to the trees and grass we had back home. Here , everything was made of ice.

But despite everything being of ice, it was still the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The castle itself looked like it was carved by god himself.

It looked like it was made of glass and surrounding it was a huge dark blue ocean that had all sorts of creatures swimming about.

As we crossed over the bridge, I leaned my head over the side of my horse to get a better view, and saw such mesmerizing creatures, most of whom I did not even know the species. The only ones I could make out, were the mermaids. They truly were creatures of beauty.

As we neared the palace gates, I caught sight of a few of the citizens. They did not fail to impress me.. they , like my grandfather told me, were people of dangerous beauty.

Beautiful enough to make you want to do anything and everything for them. They had perfect, pale white skin with hair as white as snow. Each of them with their own unique beauty..

We entered the palace gates and were greeted by the guards and escorted to the throne room. The room itself was a sight to gasp at..

The floors were made of iced marble, and the pillars looked like glass that pierced through the roof. The entire room gave off a navy blue color as the moon shone through the roof.

The Ice people derived their strength from the moon whilst us,the sun.

Everything was in a blue light, except the magnificent staircase that led to the middle of the room, just beneath the foot of the throne, it shone like it was made of the most rare gold

"Welcome.. it truly is an honor to have you, the fine warriors of the Fire Kingdom, grace us with your presence.." I was so engrossed in the beauty of the palace that I failed to hear that strong voice behind me. I turned around to replace the King and Queen themselves..

If everyone was beautiful in this kingdom, the king and queen were like the very moon. They were so extremely beautiful that it made everyone else look so insignificant next to them.

"Forgive us for not receiving you.. we were unaware that you would arrive this early" the queen said.

"No no, the fault is ours.. please allow me to introduce to you my sons. This is Gunner" he said pointing to Gunner who was too busy mesmerizing the palace to even notice what we were talking about.

"And this is Solveig " he said putting his hand on my shoulder. I resisted the urge to take it off me and snap it in half... I turned and could not help but notice the slight smirk on the king's face when he saw me.

What's his problem.. I thought

"Oh he needs no introduction.. almost everyone in the kingdom knows of him" he said shaking my hand. Not long, the trumpet was blown indicating the start of the ceremony.

Thank God. I thought.. saved from awkward silence.

We all went to stand in front of the throne as the King and Queen ascended and sat down.

Soon after ward another trumpet was blown and the door at the top of the stairs opened...

Revealing the most indescribable beauty I have ever seen.
