"Friends, what a funny word. It was almost mystical to ." Veredorr sighed. "I et the two of them as they hunted around. They were people unlike other humans, as tall as three ters, with blue skin, silver hair, and golden eyes. They walked without fear of the freezing temperatures, as if they were immune to them. I et the couple of siblings, Frusk, and Tear, they were my friends, the first friends of my life."
"At first I was afraid, but they found . And then they weren't afraid of . They said I was small but dexterous unlike them. We began hunting together, to share als together. I knew them more, and after months, they invited to their village. A beautiful place inside a dungeon, a small world by itself… A beautiful blue tower always shone brightly in the background; I was always srized by its beauty…" Sighed Veredorr. "I et these people and had a good ti. They accepted , I had… a family."
Veredorr sighed, looking into his own phantasmal hands, as if he was trying to rember sothing.
"Frusk and Tear were very close siblings. His little sister adored her big brother. Frusk taught how to fight and hunt, he taught where to hunt, how to survive… and more. Tear taught about feelings, about people, and how to craft, cook, and sew…" Sighed Veredorr. "I spent over a hundred years with the Ice Giants, my life was peaceful and happy. After the death of my mother, I was finally able to find a place where I could belong to…"
Veredorr depicted Tear as this sweet girl that adored her big brother, soone that valued emotions and relationships, even teaching him all of that. She even taught him how to cook, craft, and sew. She was definitely not evil since the beginning.
"However, things changed that day. Due to my influence, Frusk wanted to et the humans, he thought that they might be friendly and humble like . I was foolish, I didn't knew how they would react to him… I ended letting him go with and a few other Ice Giants…" Veredorr sighed. "It all ended in tragedy. The Iceland Kingdom humans were accepting of beast-kin, elves, dwarves, and even Majin, but Ice Giants resembled trolls to them, they were scared, the sa way they call my father's race monsters, they were scared of as well the sa way they were scared of them, my friends, the Ice Giants…"
"A battle ensued the mont they got closer to the walls. Humans' soldiers and adventurers chased us down. They were relentless, smiling as they chased us, as if we were re prey for them… We managed to survive with many wounds but… at the last mont, a powerful high ranked adventurer appeared, he almost lethally wounded us all, Frusk stepped in to fight him, while we were told to run away…" Veredorr sighed. "I should had stayed with my friend and face death alongside him…"
"Tear was devastated of the news, and after a day, we ca back to check if he was sowhere still alive… the only thing we found were… his body parts, all of them roasted, and his head on a pike." Veredorr cried, recalling a painful mory. "Frusk was… a good friend. He did not deserve such an end…"
"Tear was then devasted by the news so much she went insane. She wanted to avenge her brother and kill all the humans, she said she was going to kill everyone… Shew as insane, we tried to stop her, we had to bring her back to the village before she got herself killed." Veredorr sighed. "I rember her crying in frustration, in anger, in fury… We constantly told her she had not the strength to do as she said she wanted to do… I fear such re words might had been what triggered her to do what she did afterwards…"
"As we mourned Frusk's death, she infiltrated the Frost Tower sohow, and from within the top of the tower, she grabbed the Divine Artifact that was said that nobody should ever touch, a taboo… The Crown of Skadi was stolen by her. She wore it as she walked away from the tower that day. We tried to stop her, to take the crown away from her hands. She went berserk, as if she had completely changed. She beca cold hearted and rciless, and after blaming for her brother's death… She froze to death… My dearest friend, the one I even… I even loved." Sighed Veredorr. "I never thought she would kill in such a rciless way…"
Veredorr finished talking, sighing.
"That's all of it… I've told everything I know…" Veredorr sighed. "Now, please, let alone…"
"Veredorr!"
Veredorr suddenly flew away without even coming back to or my shadows. Well, he was free to do as he pleased. But still, I left a phantom familiar with him to watch over him. He was still a ghost that might do dangerous things to others without realizing.
"His ice powers…" Aquamarine muttered. "They are due to this kid's trauma, isn't it?"
"I've also heard about special types of phantasmal undead that are elental ghosts take the elent of their traumas. Those that die by fire beco fla ghosts, those that are bullied alive beco swamp ghosts, and those that die frozen beco ice ghosts…" Said Ruby.
"Yeah, he had it rough." I sighed. "When I found him, his soul looked like his frozen form, it was too much of a trauma for him."
"How tragic… So this is the truth about the Frost Queen's past." Aquamarine said.
"It is… grueso, yes. But if that's true, then she most likely wants to wipe out all of humans in this continent, probably all of us in between too, she might not even recognize us as soone different." Sighed Ruby.
"Those that use Divine Artifacts beco Calamity-level Monsters, she is soone that might be capable of doing just as she said she would…" Aquamarine said. "Stopping her must be our priority."
"I agree." I nodded. "But for now, let's have lunch, I am starving…"
