Once upon a time, there lived a young boy names Albert. He lived with his grandfather,who happened to be the king of The Frozen Forgotten Lands of Angora. Angora is a wasteland full of unwanted inventions and dreams. Albert's grandfather the king had been living in the kingdom for so long that he had given up on all hope of saving the wasteland. It wasn't long before the prince grew up, and discovered that the reason he was so infatuated with snow, ice and magical snow creatures was because of his grandfather the king. Ever since his grandfather was young, he was in love with the idea of living in an ice-free land. It wasn't long before he learned to carve a doll that was made of ice, and tried to play with it in the desert, to no avail. It was too hot. When the sun went down he would jump in the lake and play with ice cold water and would always watch the beautiful and twinkling stars in the sky. He would pretend that they were his family. So one day he decided that he was going to the floating islands. They were the perfect place to live and he could live his dream. As the prince of Angora, it was his duty to find and bring a man back from the island. Albert had no way of telling where the island was, but knew that it would be an amazing place. So he set out with his dog and some equipment on a small boat. As they were sailing through the sea, the boat started to sink. Albert was scared, and cried out for his friend. But nobody answered. Then, in the distance, he saw a man running through the water. He was on a snow-covered island. Albert grabbed a rope from the boat, and tossed it to him. The man caught it. He looked like a man, but not like a man. He was like an ice-man. He was covered in white and looked like he had been covered in snow. Albert said, "Oh man, that's amazing!" But he wasn't in a good mood. He had already lost his boat and his dog. He would soon be lost if he didn't help. The ice man asked for a drink of water. Albert handed him the bottle. As he was drinking it, the ice-man saw the boat bobbing in the water. He threw the bottle of water in the boat. It was a miracle, and the Prince thought to himself that the ice man was his saviour. He then set off in search of a way to bring the man back to his country, but it was too far away. So the ice man promised to find another way to bring the prince back. He set off to find a way to bring Albert back, but it was too cold and dangerous for him to travel.

A cold wind blew, freezing the water that the Prince was swimming in. It was so cold, he could barely see. Then, he found out he was lost. So, he started to worry. Then he spotted a light in the distance, but there was no one there. The Prince swam closer, hoping that he would be the first to discover the miraculous island. But then, the light disappeared. Albert swam even closer, but then he started to see a figure coming towards him. It was his friend and the ice-man.

The Prince waved at him, shouting, "I'm here! I'm here! This is my island!" But the ice man wasn't there. He was lost. So the Prince swam to the surface. The ice-man was there. He cried out in fear, and said, "The island was taken. The island was taken!" He cried and cried and cried. "The man who took the island is looking for me. He is trying to kill me. I must go home before he finds me." The Prince was worried. He asked him if he could stay, but the ice man replied, "I cannot stay here, my friend. I must find the man who took the island. I cannot return here. I cannot go home until I find him." Then, he took the Prince home. He told him what had happened. The Prince said, "You are my angel. I will never forget your kindness." He swam back to his island. But as he got closer, the land was covered in a blanket of ice. He looked down and saw his friend who had saved him. He cried out to him, "What did you do to my friend?" The ice man told him that he had killed him and taken his home. The Prince was furious. He knew it was the ice man. He rushed over to him and punched him so hard that the ice man split into two. The Prince said, "You can have half of it!" He took the ice man to his own house and cut off the half of the island that he wanted. He then returned to find his friend. The ice man was still alive. He said, "Do not be angry, Prince Albert. I am the one who killed your dog and took the island. I am the one who took you home." The Prince hugged him and said, "No, my friend. We are friends. I am sorry for my anger." He then said that he had one last surprise for his friend, who was still alive. He made a cut in the frozen ground, and down came a beautiful lake.

He told his friend that they could live there forever and he would never be lonely. That's how it is with friendship. They can survive anything. They are always there for each other. The Prince and the ice-man stayed friends for many years, but one day the Prince came to visit him and said, "Tell me what is happening now." The ice-man replied, "The ice man who has been stealing the good earth is angry and he is very powerful. The earth is very cold and it has become very hard to live on. Now I have given him back the entire island, but he is still angry and trying to kill you."

The Prince took the ice man to his house and gave him half of the island. He showed him the lake and they both swam in it. Suddenly, a shadow appeared over them. They swam over to the shore.
