Crowns And The Nine Kingdoms

Chapter 1 - Claws of the Mighty Bear

“A hundred years ago, from the land of the Frost family, a queen named Rhyndelle Frost, daughter of the great Rhoynce Frost and Lady Fradella of Pines, ranged all unconquered lands in the North, riding on her very own huge polar bear, asking every named leader from three different lands to kneel before her. Until one land called Unknown tried to refuse her order and rode their dragons before the queen. Until now, the land was still unknown because they say the land was covered in ice from the hands of the Frozen Queen, and still the tale wasn’t clear,” said the old lady with her old white hair and her ripped cloak, to the many children along the snowy street of Bear Land (the capital of the North Winter Lands).

“What happened to the queen? Did she die? Wait! Are the dragons real?” asked many children along the street.

“Wun! Get back home; your father needs you!” said Kreedah, mother of the boy Wun, one of the children listening to the lady.

“I’m coming, Mother!” Wun replied.

At their home...

“Oh Father! What happened to your face?” Wun worriedly asked.

“My son! Never forget how I lived...” Catching his breath, his father said.

“Father! Father!!” Wun shouted.

Then his mother embraced him and cried.

Wun’s mighty father died with three scars from a huge bear’s claws on his face, a severe wound on his chest, and his eyes were nearly blind. He had received these injuries from battling with a huge polar bear just to feed their starving town.

“Mother! Where are we going?” Wun asked his mother.

“To the capital!” Wun’s mother replied.

“But Mother, we’re in the capital!” Wun said.

“You’d better walk faster! Our journey is too far!” Kreedah said.

“Lady Kreedah!” a woman shouted. “Get her bags! Hurry!” said the woman to her sons.

“Wait! Agh! It’s our meat!” said Kreedah while five men were stealing their bags of meat.

“Leave us alone!” and Wun punched one of the men.

“Agh!” Wun fell to the ground, clutching his stomach after being kicked by the man he had punched.

“Wun!” his mother shouted.

“My mother!!” Wun shouted, meters away from his mother.

A man behind his mother slashed his mother’s neck...

“Mother!!!” Wun shouted.

His mother fell to her knees and banged her head into the ground.

“Mother!” said Wun while crying.

“Get the boy!!!” loudly shouted the woman.

“Idiot!” the woman said to her son.

Wun passed and ran hurriedly into the woods with his dreadful face...

“Agh!”

Far from their town, Wun fell to his knees.

“Groaar!”

A pair of eyes he saw from the trees beside him...

He stood slowly while his arms were trembling...

And a large white bear walked in front of him.

“Don’t run!” In a woman’s voice, someone said to him.

“Who are you!?” Wun replied in front of the large bear.
