the conflict of the snows

01- The tip of the iceberg

1978, kingdom of ice, Frigid Glacier, Glacier.

The sky was cloudy and an extremely cold wind wafted through the air, chilling the pores of inhabitants who were not from that place, especially Akira. The young man is on his knees and with his head and fists on a mold better known as a head cutter, on top of it there is a thin and extremely sharp blade, so sharp that it can corrode the bones of whoever it touches with just one cut. On the other side, more specifically behind the "guilty" Young Man was Helda Glacian, queen of the ice kingdom, and her daughter Olivia Glacian, ice princess and successor, of the ice kingdom, one of the most important kingdoms of the 4 elementary kingdoms titled as : Ice Kingdom, Fire Kingdom, Air Kingdom and Earth Kingdom.

Olivia remained uneasy as if she didn't think such an attitude was right, since her mother isn't sure that Akira is the culprit. Restless, the black girl with striking blue eyes gets up from one of her benches made especially for her, and approaches Akira, standing 1 meter away from him and giving a sigh that makes a small fog form over her face. face due to the low temperature.

— Tvastvik onimniest onvien — The girl asked her mother for mercy for Akira, she spoke in a traditional language of the Ice Kingdom, specifically glacial, so that Akira would not act cocky and deny her request.

— Niek! — The queen denies her daughter's request immediately and in a magical step, she stretches out her hands creating a slippery floor of ice over her daughter's feet that makes her slide back and sit on her chair.

non levox daniek! — The queen screams as a warning so that her daughter doesn't get up again. The queen, who was wearing a dress completely covered in glacial crystals, took calm and steady steps, letting only the sound of her shoes fill the peaceful place. She then makes a sign with her hand, pushing away the guards around her and then stands in front of Akira, who remains with his head down, breathing heavily and shaking from the cold. Akira's resistance is very high when it comes to high temperatures, being able to withstand up to 70°C while still naked, but when it comes to low temperatures he is totally vulnerable, since his abilities work on the ground, and in that city In particular, there was only ice on its floor, a resistant and thin layer of ice.

— Confess once and for all Akira, speak only the truth — Says the stressed queen with a spirit of revenge for the death of Gládios, the superior being who commanded the 4 elementary kingdoms and consequently their sub-kingdoms. — Your power doesn't work here, there's no point trying to use it, just confess your crime and I'll spare you all the suffering.

From so cold, Akira was sobbing blood — What the fuck, what do you want me to say? — Akira shouts, nervous without having any freedom of expression.

— I just want you to tell the truth, confess your crime, Akira, or I will be forced to make you a slave to pain.

— I already told the truth, it wasn't me! — he coughed as blood fell onto the thin ice floor.

— The problem is exactly what you say, you are known for easily manipulating people, whatever you believe without any proof? Just listening to your futile words? — She laughs weakly — Have you heard the story of the boy and the sheep? — She surrounded Akira, still taking firm and calm steps, causing him strong discomfort. — Once upon a time there was a boy, he lived in a village full of sheep, he lived his life lying that the sheep were in trouble, because a wolf approached them, whenever he lied, the audience quickly hid their sheep, and the boy I laughed immediately afterwards, as he did this so much his words became insignificant. — While she was spinning, she made movements with her hands, making the atmosphere get colder with each step she took, making Akira shiver more and more. — One day, the city was invaded by wolves, and when he tried to warn the village no one believed him, and as a result the sheep were all eaten and he was expelled from the village days later. Do you know what the moral of the story is? Lying makes people weak and powerless — She clasps her hands, making the atmosphere so cold that Akira writhes in pain — what's your guarantee that you're not lying? — Akira doesn't respond... — As I thought, either he dies telling the truth as you say, or he lives lying, as you also say, and let's be honest, it's not a big challenge for you, right? — She made it so cold that Akira's skin was covered in snow and his muscles didn't even move. He became so pale that he couldn't even speak and the blood in his mouth froze.

— Mom, stop! —Screams Liv, the princess of the ice kingdom —You can't just kill him like that, without even being sure he's guilty.

- MIND YOUR BUSINESS! — The queen shouts angrily and with wide eyes, she then takes a deep breath and snaps her fingers, ordering the glacial guards to catch Akira and take him to one of the best cells in the kingdom.

—What did I say about meddling in my plans? — Said the Queen as she climbed the stairs stressed.

— I know, but it is — says Liv before being interrupted by her own mother.

- What I said? — Says the queen with an authoritarian tone, interrupting her daughter.

— So as not to get in the way and just watch how the ice throne is led... — Liv says sadly and thoughtfully. — But what will happen to him? — Says Liv, following her mother — Is he going to stay there forever?

— If necessary, yes. Don't ask any more questions, grab your things and go get ready for sword training, Iceglate will take you, no delays! — Says the queen, changing direction.

Of course — A little sad, the princess just rolls her eyes and turns to the left, a little shaky due to the low temperature. In addition to the inhabitants of the ice kingdom liking this type of temperature, they use it most of the time as a defense mechanism, in this way, inhabitants who are not used to other kingdoms who are not used to such a climate would die immediately upon entry. She walks around observing the city full of ice and lights, like a true winter kingdom, she enjoyed every second of the place as she approached the Triviek station.

Triviek in the language of the Ice Kingdom is like a sleigh, they built "carriages" of ice, iron and wood, and with the help of their magic they made a lot of ice tracks over the city, so, depending on the location, they would arrive at their destination in seconds.

She continued her cautious steps, until she finally arrived at the triviek station, where she met Icegland, who was eagerly awaiting her arrival.

— My princess —Icegland said before bowing.

— Please just call me Liv. — Says the princess, approaching the Icegland triviek.

— As you wish, miss, I mean, Liv — they both laugh weakly — Ready for the trilling? — Asks the bald man of 1.75, who was wearing a light coat and a strange scarf.

— Yes... — They enter the Triviek that begins to slide over the ice rink. — Icegland... Besides Akira being a big liar, why is he here? After all, there are several excellent liars throughout the 4 kingdoms.

— Icegland breathes dryly — After Levix's death, warriors went to the elemental village, and according to the queen, they found Akira nearby, and because he was a good assassin, the queen brought him. — Icegland said, driving the sleigh with his magic.

— That definitely doesn't make sense, no one in the 4 kingdoms has enough magic to kill Levix, and you know that... why do you lie? — asked the princess suspiciously.

—But we never know the enemy's strength — he said stuttering.

— In fact, we know Akira's strength very well, and he doesn't even come close to defeating Levix, Levix controls all elemental magic in the world, it's no wonder he was leader of the 4 kingdoms.

— Because of all the magic he possesses, Levix shouldn't die, so why did he die? — Asks Icegland, slowing down Triviek.

— Maybe he was defeated by a type of magic that he doesn't master — Liv thought — I don't know...

— Some culprit must have... — Says Icegland.

— ... You're right — She gets off the triviek, still thoughtful.

— Well, we're here, did you bring your sword? — Asks Icegland.

— Yes — Liv replies in a weak tone.

— Go ahead, I'll catch you...

Liv passes through the medieval ice buildings, goes down some stairs, and after a few minutes she finds herself in her trilling room, which is partially empty.
