Frozen: Blood Upon the Snow

❄️Chapter 1❄️

The scent of the salty seas breezed past your nose, comforting your senses and allowing your body to relax. The deck you were resting on was warm from the sun beaming down on it. The only off putting thing was the occasional gagging and puking that would happen while you're trying to take a quick nap before arriving to your next stop.

Traveling by sea is grand! Better than climbing mountains or running for your life in ancient ruins. You don't understand how people can get sea sick cause this is the most relaxed you've felt since you were in the exotic lands.

"I'll just take a quick nap before my new adventure starts." You yawned, adjusting your bag in a more comfortable position under your head and closed your eyes. The sound of the sea lulling you asleep.

"LAND HO!" Your eyes shoot open to the shouting of your destination.

You shot up and snatched your bag and threw it over your shoulder. People that worked on the ship you are aboard scurried to different places to prepare to dock. You on the other hand adjusted your out fit, which is nothing extravagant cause you like to travel light even though up north has apparently harsh winters. Everything seemed intact to your satisfaction, leaving you to run to the side of the ship.

Up ahead...is the castle of Arendelle. Your next stop to find the most prized possession in the entire kingdom. You could see the castle town below the palace was bustling with villagers as you got closer to the docks. Everyone is bundled up for the winter season but are in high spirits.

"There must be an event going on." You said walking down the plank that connected you to the docks and entered the castle town.

Judging by the decoration of banners and stands with snowflakes on them. Which you assumed they must symbolize for something but had no idea what. Maybe something good happens when it's winter season. And judging from the atmosphere you do see some snow on the ground that children are rolling in, during various of fun activities.

You smiled warmly at their contagious glow of innocence. Sometimes you wish they would always be that way. But the world is cruel and will shove anything and everything down their throat until they are forced to see the truth. Just like—

You frowned at the thought you were about to conjure but you shook it immediately out of your head. You have a huge tendency to only have negative thoughts and memories clouding your mind. It may seem like a bad thing cause it could get you down but you don't see it that way. You see it as a sign that you survived all the bad things that were thrown your way. Even when you were only a small child.

"Alright!" You blinked at the sound of a very loud but cheery female voice, finding a woman who seemed to be in her peaking in her early 20s even though her bouncing personality represents the aura of a hyperactive child. Her glittering turquoise blue eyes shine bright as she stood in front of a group of kids. "Who's ready for a snow ball fight?!" The village children cheered, scrambling turns the snow to make their ice cold deadly weapons.

"Oh boy." That was your cue to steer clear of the upcoming war zone so you headed deeper into town, hopefully to find a inn to stay in for a couple of days. Just until you found what you are looking for.

                                      ~❄️~

You managed to find yourself an inn that quickly got you settled in. The clerk was kind and gave you your key to your room which you thanked her with quick smile then headed in your way.

You found your room number without any problems since it was a small inn and unlocked the door. Inside you were welcomed with a decent spacious room that had everything you needed. A bed of course, with a small cauldron hanging off a tripod holder so you can make your meals next to it. A small fire place with a brick frame on the other side of the room to warm up the place in this cold weather.
