What a terrible mirror the evil troll has created, a mirror that reflects only bad things.
But the worse part is that one of the shards of glass has pierced the heart of my best friend, Kai. And then the Snow Queen imprisoned him.
Poor boy! My poor Kai. How lonely and cold you are there in the Ice Palace!
But my tears won’t change a thing. We have to do something. Although the journey is very scary, I’m sure there are some good-hearted people out there. Look.
Even this young bandit has managed to help me. She lent me her favorite deer and now he’s rushing me t the country where the Snow Queen is holding my friend: the Ice Palace itself.
Here I go Kai! Be calm: you will soon be saved.
