All right everyone, I have completed my entries thus far updates. Very nice. Let's keep up the great work everyone!

I will be doing updates later today after my nap after work. I had a dangerous experience last night due to an unknown food allergy and now after many benadryl later feel like crap. But the updates will be done.

The Snow Queen:





Years before the story takes place, an evil troll creates a magic mirror that disrupts the appearance of everything it reflects. The troll happens to be a headmaster at school and shows the mirror to all of his students. They attempt to take the mirror to heaven, but they accidentally drop it, spreading the shards all over, some falling into people's hearts and eyes, causing them to only see the bad in things.

Years later, Gerda and Kai were at Kai's grandmothers when she tells them a story about "Snow Bee's", which are flurries of snow that the Snow Queen can control.

Months later, Gerda and Kai are playing outside when a shard from the mirror falls into Kai's eye. The only beautiful things to him are the snowflakes he sees through a magnifying glass.

When winter comes, Kai goes out in the snow on a sled, which hitches onto the Snow Queen's white carigde. She reveals herself to Kai by kissing him twice. One to numb the cold, two to make him forget about the life he knew before. A third kiss would kill him.

She takes Kai to her palace, and the people in the village soon decide that he went missing and died. Heartbroken, Gerda still decides to go out to look for him. When she offered her red shoes to the river, she learns that Kai didn't drown.

Gerda then meets a sorceress who wants Gerda to stay with her forever, so she casts a spell and removes all roses from the garden, for that will make Gerda remember. A while later, Gerda sees a rose on the Sorceress' hat, and she cries for she has remembered Kai. Because of her tears, the earth lets her know that Kai is not dead in the earth. She then questions the flowers, but they have no good information so she leaves.

She realizes that it's already autumn and she's wasted time so Gerda hurries along once again. Along the way, Gerda meets a crow who tells her that Kai is in the princess' palace. When she goes there, she figures out that it is not Kai, rather a prince who looks like him.

While traveling away, Gerda is captured by a robber band. However, she befriends a robber girl who tells her that her pet doves saw Kai in the Snow Queen's palace. A captive reindeer tells her that he knows the way there, for that was his home.

SO the robber girl frees Gerda, and she travels with her and the reindeer to the Snow Queen's palace, stopping only twice, at a Lapp woman's home, and a Finn woman's' home.

When Gerda reaches the Snow Queen's palace, she utter's the Lord's prayer, which summons angels who fend off the snowflakes guarding it so she can get inside. When inside, Gerda finds Kai trying to move pieces of ice into characters to buy his freedom, and a pair of skates.

Filled with love, Gerda runs up to him and kisses him. Gerda's tears of happiness melt Kai's heart and he bursts into tears as well. They both get up and dance, and the splinter falls out. When they tire of dancing, they look down to see the word 'eternity' spelled on the ground, the word the Snow Queen wanted Kai to spell.

Freed, Kai and Gerda walk home to play together happily once again/
