Twenty Four Days of Christmas (12)


The Snow Queen

"In the middle of the vast, empty hall of snow was a frozen lake. It was cracked into a thousand pieces, but each piece was shaped so exactly like the others that it seemed a work of wonderful craftsmanship. The Snow Queen sat in the exact center of it when she was at home, and she spoke of this as sitting on her "Mirror of Reason." She said this mirror was the only one of its kind, and the best thing in all the world. 

Little Kay was blue, yes, almost black, with the cold. But he did not feel it, because the Snow Queen had forbade his icy tremblings, and his heart itself had almost turned to ice".

"  Kay, if you can solve the puzzle of the shards of ice by making the word 'Eternity' you can enter my Ice World and stay forever"! 

"No fear" said Kay,  his beating heart feeling warmer with every passing moment.
