Chapter 2 - The Frost-King and the Snow-Queen

(Note; that the Frost-King in this story is by Hellen Keller, and the Snow-Queen is by H.C.Andersen)

Dane awoke midst the Hall, he felt a cold-breeze as he saw Gullinbursti walk out the doors.

Dane got up and followed his friend, as he walked outside, the morning sun was now showing her beautiful face.

Dane looked around and saw his golden boar run within the snow covered forest, Dane followed close behind.

As the little Nephilim walked, he felt no cold, which was odd, considering the time and country, but he enjoyed every second.

Finally.

Gullinbursti had stopped at the nearby sea, and to Dane's surprise, all the water was now ice.

" Wow " uttered the amazed child.

" That happens all the time, " said Njörðr; the sea-god.

" I could melt it all, " said Helios; the sun-god.

" Don't you dear! " exclaimed both Dane and Njörðr.

Gullinbursti now walked on the sea of ice.

" Where are you going, buddy? " said Dane, as he followed, close behind.

They walked and walked, till at last, they had reached an ice-castle.

Dane had no time to admire the majestic creation, as the golden boar now passed through the gates.

Dane followed, and to his surprise and delight, he saw a creature; with the wings of a fairy, the ears of an elf and the eyes of a sprite.

The beautiful being introduced itself as;

" Tom, the Tommyknocker! "

Dane saw how the court-yard was filled with ice-sculptures, which was no surprise, since it was an ice-castle and all.

Tom and Dane bonded quickly, but Gullinbursti kept on walking, straight within the castle.

Dane and Tom followed, till they had reached the throne-room, where Dane saw two beautiful people sitting on thrones of beautiful ice.

The Frost-King and Snow-Queen greeted Dane warmly, and Gullinbursti had finally stopped, for all the golden boar wanted was to be petted by the graceful Snow-Queen.

Dane also found out that the two rulers of ice were fond of cookies, but since, all they knew was ice, they could never enjoy such heavenly things.

That was when Dane had an idea, with the help of Tom- they made a furnace, with the help of Gullinbursti- they had wind, and Dane provided the rest.

After a few minutes, they all enjoyed some cookies.

With that kind gesture.

Dane was always welcome in the kingdom of the Frost-King and the Snow-Queen.

The little Nephilim, and his friend; the golden boar, now both returned home.

where Dane now had a story to tell, and some cookies to share.
