"WE HAVE A GIFT FOR THE ICE KING!" One of the men yelled. I couldn't see what was going on since they put me in a sack. The sleigh that they drove move forward once again. The hooves of the reindeer proceeded slowly.

The sleight stopped again and the bag that I was in was picked up and set on the freezing snow. The bag opened and I was picked up roughtly by the arms and was dragged to the doors if the ice palace.

As we enter the castle, I kept my head low. The two men stopped and forced me down on my knees and I let out a quiet, pained, cry.

"Your highness, we bring you a gift. An exotic beauty that I'm sure would make a lovely pet"

The king stood from his throne of ice and strode over to the men and stood in front of me. He got down on one knee and grabbed my chin and made me look at him.

His eyes were pitch black and his his expression is un-readable.

"Hmph. I'll take her."
