Glacier's Tale | M.Mina

Chapter 24 (Prequel): Truce

Mina's POV:

I was very disappointed towards the Prince of Nothern Alaska Alpha and was in grief that the fact I lost a friend like him, since childhood, he was very close to my late brother, not me because we were different. You see he's an extrovert, approachable by people, an efficient speaker to everyone was. He indulged in socializing with his friends including my brother, he could easily adapt to the world of society, the social butterfly around the Alaska region-3 minutes without someone will leave him frustrated. My elder brother and he got along since they were similar, it was a perfect match.

There was a lot to reminisce about between me and Gabriel despite our closure wasn't enough. He used to talk to me, telling stories inside his castle; he narrated when he was 5 years old, he has a huge scar on his left eye but the eye wasn't included, the reason was he walked inside the dangerous cave where the legend says there was a monster inside, the combination of a polar bear, a tiger head on the right side while a gorilla's head, and a devil's tale near at its butt.

Gabriel explained the event where his left eye was slashed by a monster inside the cave, the confidence was ruined because foxes judging him on his looks, almost lead to depression, 6 years later, he stood up and spoke to the public about his condition, people started to praise him once again as the prince.

I was there by the time he spoke about his experience, my brother help him to gain his confidence once again and I was happy for him as a friend.

When I was 16 years while he reached the adolescence stage-5 years age gap, which reminds me of Jas-hey, how was he doing? Maybe his work made him stress and needed coke with fries and ketchup made by yours, truly.

Back to the main topic, he was great, he could spread laughter around with his words. The last moment we shared was considered memorable for me because we didn't talk much when we were young, it's cool.

"He was a great guy, I think he was still in love with you." Sana teased but I wasn't in the mood to react. I knew from the start that he has feelings for me the day when we hang out by the time I was in the castle without my parents. I knew that foxes and wolves were rivals but we didn't believe that differences keep us divided. He also told me about that, that's what I see from Jasper, he understood me not just my personality, also my appearance, he was way similar to him that he is understanding.

"You've been a lot of battles lately with your squad, also it's been years since we heard the news from our land, a chance might she may take human world after the tribes were destroyed." Momo doubted.

"I know your squad knows the events happening today, any plans to pull this off?" Sana questioned as I stood up from the side of the bed and walked towards the window of the bedroom in front of me. I need to find a way to make things right now and to justify the death of Gabriel.

"You should pick up the pace because if not, everything will be unbalanced." Sana reminded me, I've got an idea but maybe it wasn't efficient or maybe bad things will happen, I'll try my best to convince her to stop her colonization.

"I'll go back to Alaska." I decided.

"What?! Are you sure?!" Sana worried.

"It's been years since I didn't return to my land and I can't promise peace, doing anything is a must." I insisted, the decision is final, I'll do my best to make this stop.

Welcome back to your home, Glacier. I morphed into my true self, an arctic fox returning. Mentally taking notes of the enchanted land of Casperian, very different from decades, the sky wasn't icy blue like the enchanted sky with snowflakes dripping off to the ground-I could describe this place as a wasteland and abandoned paradise covered in snow and a strong wind blew around the corner.

I've no idea what's going on since I left this land, no regrets about my decision to leave the beautiful land where I belong. Some farmer's houses, crops, and hectares died because of the cold weather. An idea popped out, I knew a farmer who's connected to our family, I need to know everything about this place, the history was made. Using my levitation, I traveled the place to find him, his name is Raymond, one of our loyal farmers in our land and owned hectares of rice crops.

I was in sorrow as I saw our land suffering from chaos while my mother illegally was on the lead, what are her plans? She wasn't contented enough? So many questions. Down, the village was a mess, broken walls that I'm assured that it was the cause of explosions and other things that destroyed the place.

"Where are the villagers?" Are they alright? What are they doing today?

***
"You'll never get away with this!" Inside the Renaissance-inspired castle on the exterior side with gothic structures of the 16th century inside that could be considered fascinating and show the significance of visual arts.

The villagers, soldiers who were against Marden, council, and people against Marden were present, a skulk of foxes was in the basement, some were trapped inside the cage where they couldn't escape easily, some were being separated from their loved ones who are inside of the messy prison where criminals were perished by the tools that are from 13th to 15th centuries, some were stained with blood and dead foxes were around the corner; those punishments were meant for criminals only. Not today since the recent and undeserving leader was cruel to the people around her.

"Yeah right, the prophecy is only a prophecy, no savior will save us from this crisis." One villager spoke up.

"It's all nothing but words, Miranda, we can't trust words." Another villager agreed.

A baby fox was crying and would be traumatized by this recent incident that happens to them, mother's fur comforted her and hugged its child tight.

"What happens to Philosopher Philip?" A male arctic fox questioned, searching around for him.

*THUD*

Right in front of their eyes, Philosopher Philip was stumbled-well pushed before stumbled. A gasp was released within, the greatest philosopher of the land of Casprian was dejected.

"Sir! Are you alright?!" One of the soldiers was concerned.

"I'm alright." He responded with a smile.

"Any plans, professor? We can build a rebellion to lead!" A counseling member suggested a rebellious idea that popped out of his head.

"What are your instincts when if rebellion exists?" Philosophers knew what are the possibilities that cause fear especially himself.

"I mind your intentions but fight solid and liquid don't match. We'll wait for the 'exact plasma' and give glory to the fated ones" Giving significance to the person who wasn't known by civilians including the philosopher himself. Some people hoping for change that will come in no time.

I can't provide the whole chapter, maybe part 2 because chapter 24 is so long, there will be some adventures that Mina will encounter.
