Ugh, the slope upward was tiring, but not impossible, and with Belle here, a goat who was amazing at climbing, it was easy to move through the mountain. As for Silver and Goldie, both could fly so there wasn’t any problem either, it was a smooth trip, however it was very cold, damn it.
As we climbed higher and higher, the pine tree forests beca more common, alongside ice crystals growing everywhere, resembling sharp spears that pierced the sky. I believe we were getting closer, we could even see what was in the distance, a big city.
In the middle of the city there was even a castle of azure color, with several pointy ends through the ceiling, attached to two towers made of the sa azure material. I couldn’t quite tell if it was ice or azure colored stone.
"So what is this place called?" asked Jenny. "I know that the two previous places didn’t have a really imaginative na but..."
"Oh yes, this place is called the City of the Snowy Mountains, where the Ice Fairies primarily live," Katherine said. "The city itself is called Frostheim, and the Queen of the Frost Fairies that live here, one of King Oberon’s daughters."
"Really? We’ll et one of his kids! I’m excited now," I said with a nod. "So what’s the Queen’s na?"
"She’s often referred as Queen Frostheim... But I am fairly sure her na is Khione," Katherine said. "She is quite reserved, so if we ever happen to et her, I ask everyone to be very respectful, okay? Please don’t speak unless you’re asked sothing while in front of her majesty!"
"Okay sure," I nodded. "It definitely won’t be as bad as back then, right Rita?"
"Aaha, yeah let’s hope, hahaha..." Rita laughed along.
Yeah that one ti we got caught by Fairies and imprisoned in their underground jails, until monsters broke out and we had to rush to fight them off and protect the city.
It was certainly one of the craziest monts we experienced through our first days in BNLO.
Though everyone else was just confused, they didn’t even know what we were even talking about.
But that was also funny by itself.
"And here we are, the walls are covered by snow, and it’s cold in here," Katherine said. "But there’s also so beauty to this peaceful and silent city."
As we reached Frostheim, we were greeted by its walls, enormous and tall, covered by snow. There were multiple guards flying around, mostly all Ice Fairies, with a couple of other races, such as Gnos and Brownies. Goblins were nowhere to be seen; it seed they disliked cold temperatures the most.
"Oh wow, the gnos and brownies are wearing really big clothes to keep warm, huh?" I wondered. "Is it cold every day in here all year long?"
"There’s less cold through sumr," Katherine said. "So it’s not unbearable all year long... those that ca to live here mostly did it to escape the rest of the world anyway, they don’t mind the cold."
As we walked towards the walls, a group of soldiers was there, most of them wore full armor made of azure ice spirit crystals, which despite being of ice elent, kept the cold away and resisted it, protecting them from it.
Half of the soldiers were Gnos or Brownies, while the other half were flying Ice Fairies, they mostly all had either blue or white hair, and were majestic in appearance, beautiful just like our Nieve.
It was the first ti we saw so many too, Nieve was the only one back then, but in here, there was a whole city of them! I bet she would love to visit this place and get to et her own brethren.
"Huh? What happened over there?"
Elena’s voice rang behind , as I glanced back at her, and then at what she was pointing out, at the left side of the walls, there was a huge hole, and cracks spreading through it, as if sothing had suddenly broken through them and destroyed them.
There were magicians in that area, using magic to slowly repair the damage that the walls withstood, but it seed to be a very slow process as I said, with little progression over ti, perhaps due to how dense these walls were?
But how did it get shattered like that though? It’s as if soone literally punched through them, is there any creature that big in here anyway?
"I have no idea," I said. "But maybe so monster tried to get inside the walls and the walls were broken or sothing?"
"Most likely," said Katherine. "Let’s ask the locals about it anyway, we’re reaching the gates, so let’s act as polite as I told you."
Once we reached the gates, a pair of Ice Fairy Soldiers greeted , they were both girls... I think. One had long white hair made into cute pigtails, with a sleepy face, the other had short blue hair with sharp crimson eyes, she looked more stoic.
"Hello~ You’re humans, huh? You don’t see that every day, right Frosty?"
"You’re too casual, Snowflake! It is indeed very rare... What do you want to do on our city? And why did you co all the way here to begin with?"
They were nad Snowflake and Frosty, so cute! I guess Fairies always have adorable nas.
"We are mbers of the Fairy Guild and the Miners Guild," explained Katherine. "And I am a mber of King’s Oberon Guard, specifically his Magicians. My na is Katherine Flowerbud. Elayne can you show them the letter and also your Runes?"
"Sure," I nodded, doing as she said. The fairies read Cinnamon’s letter, which was a quick pass to any city through her approval.
"Wow~ You’re a Gold Tier Party? That’s amazing~ you don’t see that every day, Frosty," Snowflake said with a cute, sleepy face.
"Hmph, even when you have a letter of recomndation from Cinnamon... I don’t know, you’re too suspicious!" Frosty said angrily, furrowing her sharp, blue-colored eyebrows. "Are you sure you’re not so kind of terrorist coming after our city?!"
