Mink stood over Snowfall's lifeless body, sorrow and regret filling her heart. She knew that they had their differences, but she had never wished this fate upon her. Mink took a deep breath and knelt down beside Snowfall "Farewell, Snowfall," she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes. "I may not have always seen eye-to-eye with you, but I never wanted our disagreements to end like this. I hope you find peace now that you have left this world." Mink gently touched Snowfall's forehead and closed her eyes. She rose to her feet, her heart heavy with grief and sadness. She knew that they may have never been close like sisters, but she still respected her and will always remember her "Rest in peace, Snowfall," Mink said, as she turned and walked away, leaving Snowfall's body to rest in the snow "here" Hail said giving Snowfall's crown to North, North, the IceWing prince, sat quietly on his icy throne as the other IceWing royals looked at him expectantly. He knew what they wanted him to do – to take the crown and become the next IceWing king. But North couldn't bring himself to accept "I'm sorry, but I can't do this," North said, standing up from his throne "why not" Hail asked "I don't want that crown," North stated firmly "I, North of the IceWings, acknowledge that the crown rightfully belongs to Snowfall, our IceWing queen. She has proven herself to be a wise and capable ruler, and I pledge my loyalty to her as she leads our tribe into the future." North said as he put the crown in his head the crown he had since he was a prince, "My fellow IceWings,
Today marks a momentous occasion in our kingdom's history. For centuries, we have upheld the sacred tradition of passing down the throne from one IceWing to the next, ensuring the strength and stability of our kingdom. And today, I stand before you as your new king.
I understand that there may be some among us who have doubts, who wonder if I am up to the task of guiding our kingdom into the future. But let me assure you, I am more than ready for this honor.
As your king, I pledge to always put the interests of our kingdom first. I will do everything in my power to protect our people and our lands from any threats that may arise. I know that the road ahead will not be easy, but I am confident that together we can overcome any obstacles that stand in our way.
I want to take this opportunity to honor my predecessor, Queen Glacier, who served our kingdom so honorably for many years. Her dedication and wisdom will be greatly missed, but I will do my best to carry on her legacy and continue to lead our kingdom with the same dedication and wisdom.
Finally, I want to thank all of you, my fellow IceWings, for your support and your trust. I will not let you down. Together, we will make our kingdom stronger and more prosperous than ever before.
Long live the IceWings!" North yelled.
