FOXKNOT gathered around a campfire and exchanged thoughts about life. Feeling bored, Mama Papito took out his guitar and started playing a chinese song. Pakalu stared at him and started clapping along to the song. Shikubi and Banapal looked at each other and laughed for no apparent reason. Instead of singing along, Banapal started to tell them a tale...
LION KING: PERMAFROST
Elsa stared out through the frosted window. Thoughts were playing around in her mind. Ignoring the fact that her royal servant was still patiently awaiting her orders, she continued to stare at the land of her kingdom, moving her eyes to the direction of the heavily cloud-enfolded mountains at the north side of the palace. "Maybe, just maybe. One day, we shall travel across those mountains to discover what is in there!" Elsa told her servant who was still standing still by her side. She smiled as though she could imagine the magnificent abode of mythical creatures, undiscovered lands and abandoned kingdoms all hidden behind the dense, cloudy atmosphere.
Just a few days later, Elsa has already decided to fulfill her dreams, accomplish her mission and unfold the secrets of that mysterious place. A total of four hundred armed troops gathered and stood at the heavenly frozen gates of the palace in a formation, similar to that of a position for war. Elsa giggled a little when she saw that her army that has prepared their hearts to serve orders and escort the princess. She wore a silver helmet alongside with an armoured clothing, which was slightly encrusted with bits of snow. "No princess shall hide behind her troops like a coward. I shall proceed forward like a true leader," Elsa said in a brave, empress-like tone. Some of the soldiers tried to hide their laughs as they could not bear to imagine their princess in a battlefield.
Soon after, the army of the Ice Palace embarked on their journey to the mysterious mountains. As they marched across the wide lands of pure snow, their feet were almost buried in thick, partially-melted permafrost. At last, they arrived at the edge of the dark valley, overshadowed by the clouds above. There was less snow here and it felt more like a tundra compared to their homelands. Without further inspection, Elsa and her troops entered the valley with no fears but with high hopes and courage instead. "RARGHHHHHHHH" They were ambushed by a pack of hungry, feral wolves.
The army strengthened their defense with a better formation and tried their best to not let their guard down. None of the wolves attacked but they were accompanied by more forces of wild animals such as bears, foxes, elks and other creatures. Elsa decided that it would best to make use of her abilities and powers now before her army pushes forward and fight. While she was channelling her energy, her troops were getting ready to commence a fatal battle. Before they all could do anything, the animals fled to the side and left a large pathway in the middle. Two feline figures could be spotted amidst the darkness and they turned out to be lions, kings of all the animal kingdoms.
They slowly approached Elsa and her army without any sense of hostility. Elsa's eyes swept the line of animals to the male lion. "I see that all of you are just friendly neighbours wanting to have a look?" The male lion spoke with a calm tone. Elsa smiled and ordered her troops to sheathe their swords. "Call me Mufasa. This is my dear wife, Sarabi. Welcome to the land of Lion King," the male lion, which was now known as Mufasa, uttered with a smile slowly drawn on his face. Elsa felt a sudden sense of relief and replied, "Okay... Alright. Kind enough to show us around?" Mufasa let out a loud laugh and commanded his animals to greet the guests.
The lions guided Elsa through the dark valley and eventually presented the true beauty of their kingdom, which was hidden behind the mountains. Elsa was speechless to witness such exquisite beauty. She could hardly believe her own eyes and as to how such a serene place like this would exist. Mufasa and Sarabi were more than glad to show Elsa their wonderful kingdom. However, before Elsa could inspect the slight details of the scenery, Sarabi turned towards her and said "Elsa, we are so happy to show you our world. Actually, I have known about your kingdom for so long but we have always wanted to know something..." Elsa looked at Sarabi in confusion and curiosity. "About your sister... your long lost sister..." "The wicked white witch!" A voice came from the group of animals. As soon as Elsa heard those words, tears rolled down her cheeks as she recalled the past...
