Prologue | Last chapter | Next chapter

Author’s note: I am SO sorry that I haven’t updated this story. I have been busy the past few of weeks.

Notice/warnings: sneaking, magic, hitting/knocking out, crying, threats, lying (for a good reason)

▪▪▪

Inside the castle of Los Arenelle, in the evening, 7 year old Prince Mason “Moe” Clawson was playing with his friends; 8 year old Prince Cedric and 4 year old Princess Florence Lights, the prince and princess of the Northern Kingdom.

They’re visiting with their parents for the festival that happened today.

The princess and two princes were playing in the hallways, chasing each other as they talked about what they saw at the festival.

They were already in their sleep clothes ready for bed.

“The festival was a lot of fun!” Florence said with a giggle.

“I enjoyed it.” Cedric said, “I liked the flowers, food, dancing, and the history play.”

“I enjoy all of those too!” Moe said with a smile, laughing softly.

Then the young wolf prince looked at his friends while they played

Cedric has golden pale scales and white underbelly. On the center of his forehead was his magicmark. It was a snowflake.

Florence has golden yellow scales and has spot-like-freckles that were shaped like small suns on her face.

As they continued to go down the hall, they went past the conference room, where parents were talking with each other.

They heard the dragon snake siblings’ parents from the other side of the door, asking, “Arranged marriage?”

The three friends stopped and looked at each other before walking over to the door to listen in on the conversation. Before they could hear anything more, Gwen Redd, one of the servants, walked over to them.

“There you three are.” Gwen said as she walked over to them.

The princess and two princes looked at her and waved at her. “Hi, Gwen.” Moe said while the siblings said “Hello, Ms. Redd.”

Gwen smiled softly at them when she got to them. “It’s time for bed.”

The princess and two princes pouted. “Aw…” they said together but nodded, start to follow her to guide them to their rooms.

◇

It was almost an hour and a half, and Moe was still awake.

The festival earlier was so much fun and exciting that the young wolf still had some excitement and some energy from the festival earlier, wanting to play with his friends.

So, he got out of bed quietly and sneaked out of his room, quietly going down the hallway to the guest room where Cedric was sleeping.

Moe quietly opened the door and went into the room, looking at his sleeping friend.

Cedric was sleeping peacefully in his bed, a small smile on his face.

Moe looked at Cedric and quietly went to his bed, a big smile on his face. “Ce-ce! Wake up!” Moe said, jumping on Cedric’s bed and shaking his friend awake.

Cedric woke up and looked at Moe with a tired deadpan look. “Moe, go back to sleep.” Cedric grumbled tiredly.

Moe pouted at that. “But Ce-ce! I’m still awake from excitement! So we have to play!” Moe said dramatically, flopping on Cedric, who was unbothered by this.

“Then go play by yourself.” Cedric mumbled sleepy, carefully and tiredly pushing Moe off himself and off his bed.

Moe landed on the floor with a quiet thump. “Ow. I'm ok.”

The young dragon snake hummed as he was about to go to sleep.

The wolf pup just lays on the floor, staring at the ceiling as he starts to think of a plan to get his friend out of bed and play.

He gasped excitedly when he got an idea.

Then the wolf pup got back on top of the bed, flopping onto the half asleep young dragon snake again.

“Do you want to build a Snowman?” he asked mischievously with a smug look.

Cedric fully woke up and looked at Moe with the same smug look before nodding. “Alright, you got me.” he said, before getting up.

Moe smiled big and clapped softly before getting off the bed and then he paused. “Should we wake up Florence?” he asked, looking at Cedric.

Cedric shook his head as he got out of bed. “No. She’s normally a deep sleeper.”

“Ah, I see.” Moe hummed, nodding.

Then both princes smiled at each other before going to get ready to play.

𖤓◇

Cedric and Moe giggled quietly as they quietly went down the hallways and quickly went to the ballroom.

Moe was wearing winter boots and a winter coat over his sleep clothes while Cedric just had a night robe over his sleep clothes.

When they got to the hallway of the ballroom doors, a guard turned around the corner and spotted them.

The two princes jumped when seeing the guard, starting to panic.

“Uh-! Hi?” Moe started, waving awkwardly at the guard. “I can explain!”

The guard walked over to them, taking off the helmet, revealing it to be Misty Luggins, the captain’s teen daughter. “Prince Mason? Prince Cedric?” Misty asked, looking at the both of them. “What are you two doing up late?”

“Oh! Misty!” Moe and Cedric exclaimed as they looked up at the young guard. “We- uh… Play?” the both of them looked at each other, trying to come up with something.

The young guard got to the two young princes, who stared at her with nervousness as she knelt down to be at their level.

Then Misty smiled softly at them. “If I let you both go and let you do what you’re planning to do, I won't tell on you both if you both don't tell on me.” she said quietly to them. “Sounds like a deal?”

Moe and Cedric looked at each other before looking at her and nodded with a smile.

Misty stood up and then put a finger to her lips, as if to say ‘Shh, it’s a secret’.

Moe put a finger to his lips while Cedric put his tail to his lips, showing that they got it.

Misty chuckled softly, put her helmet on and she turned around, walking away and leaving the hallway.

Moe and Cedric start to giggle again as they go to the ballroom doors, quietly opening the doors.

Cedric and Moe entered the ballroom, still giggling quietly as they closed the doors and went to the center of the room.

“Do your magic! Do your magic! Please!” Moe giggled, holding Cedric’s tail for a moment before letting go.

Cedric laughs and starts waving his tail a bit, summoning his magic. Then snowflakes suddenly burst forth and dance on his tail, forming a small snowball.

Moe’s eyes widened and shined when seeing the small magic snowball.

“Ready?” Cedric asks the wolf pup with a chuckle.

Moe looked at the young dragon snake and nodded excitedly.

Then Cedric throws the snowball high into the air. The snowball bursts out and snow flurries around the room.

“This is amazing!!!” Moe exclaimed excitedly, dancing about as he caught some flakes with his paws.

“Watch this.” Cedric said with a smile. Then he stomps tail and a layer of ice suddenly coats the ballroom floor, forming a giant ice rink.

Moe starts to slide on the ice, laughing as he moves on the ice.

That made Cedric chuckle softly and gently pull Moe, skating with him.

When all the falling snow was on the ground, the two young princes started to play in the snow.

Moe and Cedric skated around the ballroom, threw snowballs at each other, and slid down snow banks together.

Then they start to build an anthro animal snowman. They made an anthro snow-piranha when they were done.

Cedric went behind the snow-piranha, putting a blanket over the shoulders like a cape before dropping down out of sight, which confused Moe.

“Hi, I’m Pepe!” Cedric said in a silly accent voice, almost giving the snow-piranha its voice. “I like warm hugs!”

That made Moe giggle and hug the snow-piranha. “I love you, Pepe!” he exclaimed happily, gently nuzzling the snow-piranha.

Both princes giggled and took a bit of a break of playing. They laid down on the snow, looking at the ceiling.

“Your powers are really awesome, Ce-ce.” Moe said, looking at Cedric.

“You think so?” Cedric asked, looking back at Moe.

“Yep!” Moe said with a giggle, sitting up while still looking at his friend. “You can make it snow anytime you like! Like… If you’re in the mood of building a snowman, you can make it snow and build one instead of waiting until winter or going somewhere that’s cold and far from home.”

Cedric thought for a moment before humming and nodding in agreement. “I see your point.” he said, sitting up right.

Then Cedric looked at himself before looking at some of the snow banks and then using his magic turning some of them to tall snow peaks.

“What are you doing?” Moe asked curiously, tilting his head to the side.

Cedric looked at his friend when he was done turning snow banks into tall snow peaks. “I’m just setting up some target practice for me to practice my snow and ice powers. Since I’ve been told to practice my powers when using my powers.” Cedric explained, pointing at the new snow peaks before making some small ice orbs. “Want to help me set up?” he asked, picking up a few of the ice orbs

Moe nodded excitedly and got up to go over to help by picking up the last few of the small ice orbs.

The two princes continued to play in the magic snow by carefully climbing up the snow peaks and placing the ice orbs on them before carefully sliding down.

They were giggling when it was all set and ready.

Then Cedric starts practicing his powers by shooting out his ice and snow powers, knocking one of the ice orbs off one of the snow peaks.

While Cedric was very focused on practicing, Moe noticed that one of the ice orbs slid down off the snow peak.

The wolf pup walked to it and picked it up, looking at the snow peak it once was on.

It was one of the taller ones.

“Hm…” he hummed softly to himself before starting to climb up the snow peak.

Cedric knocked off a few more ice orbs with his powers and was now looking if there were any more left. He noticed that an ice orb appeared on the tallest snow peak.

Believing that he can knock it, Cedric flicked his tail a few times to warm up a bit before summoning his magic up again. “Hey Moe! Watch this!” Cedric calls out with a big smile, letting out a big icy blast of his magic to knock the orb. But then his smile faded and eyes widened in fear when seeing Moe pop up on the snow peak, holding the orb in one paw.

Moe looked around to see what his friend wanted him to see and then all of a sudden-

SMACK!

Cedric's magic accidentally strikes Moe on the left side of his head.

Moe yelped as he tumbles down the snowbank and lands in the pile of snow.

Cedric stared in shock at what he just did to his friend with his powers.

Then he snapped out of it.

“MASON! NO!” Cedric screamed, quickly slivering over to where Moe landed and pulled him out of the snow.

Moe was unconscious when Cedric pulled him out of the snow. “Mason?” Cedric asked worriedly as checked on him.

Then Cedric gasped when seeing where the part of the magic struck on Moe’s head as a small streak of Moe’s fur turned white. It went over both his left eyebrow and eye, like a scar.

Cedric didn’t know what to do and started to cry loudly. “MOTHER! FATHER! SOMEONE! HELP!” Cedric cried, holding his friend close.

As Cedric cries, the snow peaks collapse onto each other and the ice on the floor becomes thicker as the room gets a bit colder.

Then the ballroom doors burst open and Cedric looked up to see King Marcc and Queen Estelle, his parents, along with King Vincent and Queen Lilith, Moe’s parents.

“Cedric! What happened?” Estelle asked, worriedly as the four grown ups quickly went to the young princes.

Cedric was trying to stop crying, when the grown ups got over to them. “We were playing and… It was an accident…” Cedric said, tears still running down his face. Then he looked at his unconscious friend. “I’m sorry, Moe…”

Lilith quickly took Moe away from Cedric, holding her son close and looking at him. “He's ice cold!” she gasped, looking at her husband.

Vincent was in shock before he slowly looked at Cedric, anger flames in his eyes. “What have you done?!” he shouted at Cedric, growling as he showed his sharp teeth.

Cedric started to cry more. “I’m sorry!” he cries in fear, curling up.

Estelle held Cedric, comforting him. “It’s ok, Cedric.” she reassured him, gently rubbing his back.

While Estelle comforted her son, Lilith and Vincent looked at Marcc as he slithered to them.

“Let me see him.” Marcc said to them. “I can remove most of the magic, even memories of magic to be safe…”

“What? Why not remove all of it?!” Lilith asked angrily, holding her son close.

Marcc looked at her with a glare but calmly replied, “I can remove most of it because the magic that hit your son is from a snow dragon snake, not a mystic dragon snake.”

Lilith and Vincent stared at him before letting him look at Moe.

Marcc carefully took Moe from them and gently laid him on the snow before looking at his son and asking, “Did he get hurt anywhere else or just the head?”

Cedric couldn’t speak, so he shook his head and tapped his own head as he clinged to Estelle.

Marcc nodded in understanding and then looked at Moe. Then Marcc started to chant a spell, his golden yellow scales turned and glowed a dark mystic blue, as he put his tail over the wolf pup and started healing him the best he could. When he was done chanting, the dark mystic blue faded back the normal golden yellow.

“I’ve done what I can to heal him. To be safe, I even removed the memories of magic and changed them a bit to be safe… But don't worry, I made sure he remembers the fun. He just won’t remember this night.” Marcc explained

Cedric slowly slithered over to Marcc, looking at Moe.

Moe looked like he was sleeping and he had a small smile. He still had the small white streak over his left eyebrow and eye.

Cedric frowns sadly as he looks up at Marcc. “He won't remember what my powers are?” he asked, worried.

Marcc looked down at Cedric and nodded. “Yes. But the original memories will return to him again, one day.”

Cedric was about to slither to Moe but stopped when Lilith quickly picked up Moe and held him close, glaring at Cedric. “You’re not going to touch him, you monster!” Lilith growled.

Cedric whimpers in fear, slowly back away before quickly slithering out of the room.

“Cedric!” Marcc and Estelle called out after him.

𖤓

Cedric was in one of the Los Arenelle castle’s dungeon cells, hiding.

It was a full wall to wall stone cell with a big metal door. There wasn’t much in there but two metal benches, some chains that connect to the floor, and a cell window where you can see the water of the fjord and see the ships coming in and out.

Cedric laid on one bench, curled up as he tried to calm down.

He was alone there for a while until he heard the cell door open and Estelle saying, “There you are, Snowflake.”

Cedric lifted up his head and looked over to see Estelle at the open door, slither over to him.

“Is Moe ok? Did I ruin everything?” Cedric asked as he sniffed, curling up a bit more. “Did I break the alliance of our kingdoms?”

Estelle looked as she sat down next to him on the bench. “Yes, Moe is ok. He’s still sleeping, now in his room. No, you didn’t ruin everything or break the alliance of the kingdoms.” she reassured him, comfort in her voice as she shook her head. “What was said from Lilith and Vinncet to you was very wrong and shouldn’t have been said.”

Cedric stares at her for a moment before looking down, still feeling bad for what happened.

Estelle looked at him before asking, “Want to talk about what happened?”

Cedric was quiet, unsure of how to explain what happened.

“It’s ok if you’re not ready to talk about it.” Estelle reassured him again, about to put her tail on his back to rub it.

Cedric quickly moved away from being touched, not wanting to hurt anyone.

Estelle frowned sadly at him as she slowly retracted her tail from him. Then she took something out of one of her dress pockets.

Cedric looked over to see that his mother pulled out a white rectangle glove size box. “What’s in the box?” he asked, looking at the box and his mother.

“It’s something for you. It will help you.” Estelle said, smiling softly at her son.

Cedric looked at the box, reaching out to open it but hestiants and retracted his tail. “Can you open it for me? Please?” Cedric asked, looking at Estelle.

His mother nodded and opened the box, showing a light blue tail glove with some red lining.

Cedric tilted his head to the side, confused, when seeing the tail glove before looking at Estelle as if she could explain it.

“This glove will help you. It will help you keep calm when wearing it, along with your powers.” Estelle explains, gently picking up the glove. “It will help you practice being calm with your powers.” Then she looked at her son and asked, “Want to try it on?”

Slowly, Cedric nodded and offered his tail to his mother.

Estelle gently slips the glove onto Cedric’s tail and gently pats it.

Cedic started to feel a bit calmer when feeling the glove on his tail. He took in a calming breath and sighed, “Thank you, Mother.”

Estelle chuckled softly and gently rubbed his back with her tail. “Now then, want to leave the cell?” she asked, putting the box back in her pocket and getting off the bench.

Cedric thought for a moment before nodding, getting off the bench.

The both of them slithered out of the dungeon and down the hallway.

At one point, Cedric asked, “Mother, do I have to wear glove all the time?”

“No. You can have it off when you’re in your room or practicing your magic.” Estelle answered “But one day you will have the glove off when you stand before your people when you are crowned king. Understand?”

Cedric nodded as he looked at her.

"One question, Cedric. Did anyone see both of you before you two played?" Estelle asked as they continued to go down the halls.

Cedric thought for a moment before shaking his head and said, "No."

As they were about to pass the ballroom, which still had some snow, they heard a young voice shout, “SNOW!!!” and then a loud PLOP!

Estelle and Cedric looked in the ballroom to see Florence playing in the snow.

She was giggling and having fun, her small suns shaped freckles glowed as some warmth started to come into the room from her power, melting the snow.

Cedric and Estelle couldn’t help but chuckle softly at Florence playing.

Meanwhile in the conference room, Marcc was talking with Vincent about what happened.

“Marccus! Your son almost killed my son!” Vincent shouted Marcc, anger in his voice.

Marcc looked at Vincent as he continued to sit down in one of the chairs, his face calm but there was some anger in his eyes.

“It was an accident. Also, be glad that it was the head, not the heart.” Marcc explained calmly, being reasonable.

Vincent glared at Marcc, bearing his teeth as he growled.

“Your son better control his powers or this alliance is over!” Vincent warned with a growl.

Marcc looked at Vincent with a deadpan look. “We will make sure that Cedric practices his magic so this won’t happen again.” Marrc explained, a deadpan look still on his face. “But if we break the alliance, Los Arenelle will be at risk from the plagues and deadly illnesses that are now happening.” Then Vincent’s anger faded into fear as Marcc smirked a bit and asked, “Do you want that to happen?”

“No…” Vincent said, shaking his head.

Marrc hummed and nodded, still smirking. He was about to get out of his seat but then stopped when Vincent started, “Alright… But you need to do something.”

“What is it?” Marrc asked, unsure and feeling a bit uneasy.

Vincent looked down at him and said, “I want you to do your magic, make everyone of Los Arenelle forget that your son has the powers to do an ethereal winter.”

Marcc was surprised and worried by this. “What you’re requesting of me is that you want me to use my magic on everyone of Los Arenelle, almost millions of people, so they forget that my son has snow and ice powers?” he asked, worried in his voice.

Vincent started to smile darkly and nodded. “Yes. But I don’t want to forget what happened.” Vincent added, a growl in his voice.

Marcc stared at him with worry for a moment before sighing and having a stone cold look on his face. “Alright… I'll do it. I'll just need to go to the tallest tower and do the spell up there to make sure I get everyone. But I will need some food when I'm done.” he said as he got out of his seat.

“Why?” Vincent asked, confused.

“To eat. Sometimes, when Dragon Snakes do some big magic like what you requested, their energy gets drained and sometimes Dragon Snakes either just be hungry or very tired, close to passing out.” Marcc explained, adjusting his black cloak over gray robes before slithering out of the conference room.
