3rd person P.O.V

Months after the king returned home Luma turned 7. She was a spitting image of her mother, pale blue skin and even paler hair. Her eyes sparkled silver and her thirst for adventure had yet to be quenched.

On the day celebrating the young princesses birth, a huge blizzard had struck. One so large that not even the elder ice elves could tame it.

But no one thought anything of it, Astrila had seen many a bad storm. They would have to live through it till it passed.

More days followed with the storm getting worse and worse. Each day the elder elves tried to calm to the storm or send it a far. But their efforts went unnoticed as the storm remained, shrouding the small Kingdom in darkness.

Nefýn tried his best to protect his Kingdom, sending out rising cat cubs with messages to other Kingdom's, all while trying to keep his family safe.

Even though the I've elves grew accustom to the cold weather, long periods of temperatures in the negatives could prove fatal to their health.

But the king did not want to frighten his family with such terrible news. His eldest son, Svan, was due to marry in a few days, he was determined not to let this blizzard ruin the grand celebration.

Little did the king know, that this storm was merely a distraction. For each passing day they got weaker, the incoming war got closer.

The Frost Giants. Only miles away from the borders of Astrila, we're advancing fast. They knew what they had to do, to make a statement. But that wasn't the only reason they'd came...

Finally the day had arrived, Svan was going to marry himself a princess. And she was a fine woman indeed. Her name was almost and beautiful as she was, Tesla.

Not born in royal blood but the boy loved this girl with all his heart. She even managed to calm his war waging fantasies, eliminating those thoughts completely.

She had worked her magic on him and proved her worth to the Kingdom.

She also got along very well with the rest of the family. Decima had another girl to talk to and Luma admired her greatly.

And now on her wedding day she looked more beautiful then ever. Luma waited by her side before the ceremony. She was clearly nervous for her big day.

"Don't worry. Nothing will go wrong, I promise." The small blue elf grinned at her soon to be sister in law.

Tesla smiled at Luma and pet her head. "I'm so lucky to have a friend like you Luma." She whispered, ignoring the loud winds blowing outside.

Luma hugged Tesla's leg and took her hand. "I'm even luckier."

----------

The ceremony was soon coming out a close. The Prince and new princess were speaking their vowels. The King ready to announce their bond.

Luma watched with a wide smile, the hall was filled with guests from all over Astrila. Waiting for the confirmed marriage of the Prince and princess.

But it never came.

A loud bang came from outside the hall doors. Gasps echoed through the guests.

Svan and Esvel drew their swords as the crowds attention was drawn to the doors. All was quiet.

Thunder rumbled in the sky above as loud, heavy footsteps drew closer to the large doors of the grand hall.

Tesla stuck close to her not yet husband and Luma hid in Decima's arms. The King placed himself at the foot of he alter. He knew a fight was about to break out.

And it did.

The large doors were blown of their hinges, wiping out anyone in the back three rows. Screams and shouts of terror filled the room as the first wave of Frost Giants swarmed into the room.

Svan pushed Tesla over to his sisters and looked at his younger brother. "Go. Take them to safety Esvel! I'll stay and fight."

Esvel was quick to protest his brothers order. "No brother. I will fight with you, by your side like a brother should."

Luma watched horrified as her people were cut down by the Frost Giants. She clung to Decima and buried her face to his eyes herself from the terrors that took place before her.

The king turned to his children. "You must go! All of you at once. I will come find you in the throne room, GO!" He screamed at them.

Svan nodded and took charge, lifting Luma off the ground and running with his siblings, Tesla's hand gripped his arm as she ran. The disappeared through the back entrance to the hall.

Nefýn stood his ground as the leader of the Frost Giants stepped up to him. His kind eyes narrowed into threatening slits. "You dare to interrupt my sons wedding? And for what purpose?" He growled.

The red eyes monster grinned, showing his revolting teeth. "I have come for only one."

"One? You demanded armies and now you seek for only one? What can this one do, that a thousand soldiers cannot?" Nefýn seeked answers.

The Frost Giant grinned. "This one has the power to make the nine realms crumble beneath their feet, and have nations bow before them."

The King glared at the icy giant. "You wish to use this power for what? To kill innocent civilians?"

"First I have to find the source of this great power. And prophecy has lead me to you."

"I assure you I have no great power that you seek."

The Frost Giant chuckled. "Oh but I am not searching for you. I am merely searching for a piece of you. You see old man, prophecy tells of a young child, born in ice and snow, bestowing a power greater then anyone has ever known."

Nefýn pulled his sword from its sheath. "You will never take my children."

Once again the Frost Giant grinned. "Don't worry old man, I'll only the the one."

Blinded by anger and hatred. The King swung his sword.

The screams could be heard from outside the Throne room. Esvel was desperate to go out there to help, but he had to protect his family.

Luma sniffled as she sat with Svan and Tesla, clutching her formal dress and wiping her nose on her sleeve. "I'm scared... will father be okay?"

Tesla glanced at Svan, not knowing how to answer. "Your father... is a strong man. He'll survive we all will."

Esvel sighed as he leaned against a pillar in the throne room. "Don't lie to her!"

Svan glared at his brother. "She's scared it's not like we can tell her the truth!"

"People are dying out there!" Esvel shouted. "We could all die! Their is a war going on right now and we are defenseless!"

Suddenly a loud bang on the door silenced the yelling.

"Are they... out there?" Luma shook in fear.

Tesla held the young elf close. "I'll protect you. I promise."

Before any of them had time to react, the door flew open.
