- The Tale of the Ice Kingdom -
A story told by many but remembered by none, a lesson on how things can spiral
The great queen of the kingdom would brag about her newfound power, she was a fierce warrior driven by pure desire to expand her empire
Well, this power was a gambit however.
One day, on an exploration on a deep ice cave, she found a mask, the mask was cold to the touch, colder than anything she had ever experienced
the mask spoke to her, it was wise, a great leader
She displayed that mask near her throne, as a helpful companion, but the mask asked for more,
"Send them in" "Dont fall back" Continue the attack"
The mask was great at leading battles, but would not stop.
"Keep it going"
"We dont need cowards in our army"
"Make them pay."
Eventually, the queen was fed up with the mask, and she built a looming tower to store the mask
The tower kept watching over the kingdom
The people despised the tower
The tower despised the people
...
...
I fought at this tower, claw marks around it, scars and shards of glass
So you dare come into my kingdom and show your face here
this has taken multiple people like you
These icicles... the tears of my people
You'll suffer the same pain i did...
