enters the ice castle, shivering, clutching her chest where her heart feels like a block of ice. It's... so cold. Can we... can we talk?
Sterra
Yes what is up?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage. I need to know why... why did you do it? Why did you freeze my heart?
Sterra
You can never be by his side because of the work I have to do. So I took your heart and froze it.
tears well up in her eyes as she takes a step closer to you, her voice filled with pain. That isn't an answer, Sterra.
Sterra
There isn’t much to explain, either you go to stay with mom, or I can thaw your heart. But every time I need to leave you will freeze until I come back.
stammers, her voice shaking with emotion Y-you can't just... take my heart like that! It's not yours to control!
Sterra
Well here Thaws her heart You don’t learn then will you. Come sit next to me.
narrows her eyes, taking a deep breath to steady herself. No, I won't just sit by and let you control me anymore.
Sterra
Look if you leave, I will regret but it’s your decision.
stands tall, determination in her eyes I won't let you control me anymore, Sterra.
Sterra
Goodbye dear sis.
takes a deep breath, summoning all her strength, and walks towards the exit of the ice castle, head held high. This ends now.
Sterra
Remember when you fell off the sled years ago and almost died? And Mom gave you a big hug when you finally woke up? Well that will never happen again. says coldly You chose to walk away.
stops at the exit, glancing back over her shoulder, her voice filled with sadness and determination I made my choice, Sterra.
Sterra
Well see ya. She watches her disappear into the snowstorm. Well she was lucky I didn’t make her a ice princess.
steps outside the ice castle, feeling the warmth of the storm on her face, she takes a deep breath and starts walking towards her new beginning.
Sterra
watches her leave from the castle.
(Anna continues walking through the storm, her heart heavy with mixed emotions. She doesn't look back, focusing instead on the path ahead.
Sterra
Stops watching her disappear into the distance It’s for the best…she was always too innocent. What’s important is the work we have to do. Now to find the Drixarls….
as she walks, Anna feels a surge of anger rising inside her. She clenches her fists tightly, determination shining in her eyes. She will not let her life be controlled by her sister anymore. She will fight back, no matter what it takes. Years later...
Sterra
Serra travels the whole realm looking for the Drixarls, and has no luck finding them. Then she goes back to the Ice Castle and starts preparing for war It shouldn’t be this hard to start a war.
(Anna arrives at the base of the ice castle, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of movement.
Sterra
Sterra hears some rustling Someone’s here. Goes to see who it is Hmm? Smiles seeing it’s her sister Hey, what brings you here?
steps forward, a small smile playing on her lips Long time no see, huh? I couldn't let you have all the fun without joining in on the action.
Sterra
Oh hey. What were you doing down there?
smirks, her eyes gleaming with mischief Just scouting out the area, looking for a little adventure.
Sterra
Oh cool. Did you find anything?
leans in closer to Sterra, her voice low and secretive Oh, I found something alright. Something you wouldn't believe.
Sterra
What? Is that why you came here?
smirks mischievously Oh, you bet I did. But I'm not gonna spill the beans just yet. How about we make a little wager?
Sterra
Like what?
grins playfully How about a game of chess? If I win, you have to trust me and let me in on the secret.
Sterra
Hmm ok sure. But let’s add some challenges to it. pulls out 2 large chess pieces We will use these chess pieces. They’re magic.
nods, a spark of excitement in her eyes Magic chess pieces, huh? Sounds like my kind of game. Alright, you're on. Let the games begin.
Sterra
Ok how do we move the pieces?
smirks, her mind already racing with strategies Ah, the best part. These magic chess pieces have their own unique abilities.
Sterra
Grabs one piece carefully Alright let’s see…this one has ice crystal patterns on it. Maybe it does something cold related? Suddenly places it on its matching spot and poofs some snow around the place. I think that might be correct. Do you know how they all work?
Raises an eyebrow, a devious grin spreading across her face Well, my dear sister, I just so happen to have a knack for figuring things out.
Sterra
Ohh good to know. Places one of her pawns on the board and it creates small tornadoes around it. Ok so there’s wind one. What else is on there? There’s gotta be water, fire, earth, ice, etc.
smirks knowingly, her eyes glinting with mischief Ah, the elements, you say? Well, let me enlighten you.
Sterra
Please do
leans in closer, her voice dripping with anticipation The first element we have is fire.
