“Annika was my first ever friend.”
A young polar bear cub slides down a snowpile onto
the ice. A human girl comes over and helps pull the cub out
of a snowbank into a hug - gifting her the name Shiver.
“She took me with her on the adventure to save her people. It was great! We met Pegasi and the Cloud Queen. We fought a Giant Ogre, and saw so many shiny things… And most importantly, we met Aiden.”
Shiver see’s Aiden for the first time and is immediately smitten,
swooning where she stands on the Forest Floor.
“It was clear from the start that I had dibs. I mean, Annika didn’t even like him that much at first!”
Snippets of Annika and Aiden both judging each other at certain parts
of the journey to find the Wand of Light.
“But of course, he fell for the Princess instead.”
Aiden ignores Shiver lovingly clinging to his leg
in favor of watching Annika skate.
“Sure, I made some mistakes.”
Shiver hoarding gems from the Cave of Ice.
“I was young .”
Shiver huddles under Brietta’s wing in the cave.
“I was just a cub .”
Shiver is easily picked up by Annika.
“I didn’t know any better.”
Shiver knocks down a gem, catching Wenlock’s attention.
“I was allowed to mess up a few times. But it was too late. She had already caught Aiden’s attention. Even though I had made my intentions towards Aiden clear from the start, Perfect Princess Annika got the guy. So much for Sisters before Misters. I was forced to watch as the love of my life fell for her. ”
A polar bear cub watches from the sidelines
As two human teens ice skate above the clouds.
“But no more.”
A large shadow lurks behind walls of ice.
“I have waited years for this moment.”
A jagged crown of Black Ice Gems glints in the fading sun.
“I have plotted.”
A polar bear’s legs walk past the camera trailed by a jewel studded cape.
“Schemed.”
A shadowed figure of a bear approaches from deep within a cave.
“Dreamed. Of what is about to happen. The time has come.”
An adult polar bear steps into the sun.
A crown sits on her head, glinting black and purple in the light.
Her chest is covered with large, ice jewel armor.
Her back is covered by a flowing cape.
Her eyes narrow into a glare as she gazes out at a distant castle.
“Are you prepared for me, Annika?”
The camera zooms in on Princess Annika, getting ready for her Coronation
with the help of Aiden and Brietta.
“Are your people ready for the vengeance you have brought down upon it?”
Slowly the camera pans out:
The townsfolk are rushing about in excitement for the celebrations.
A handful of men carefully carry a large ice sculpture,
some women are hanging up chains of wreaths,
and children are playing tag on the ice.
It shifts back up into the mountains to once again focus on Shiver
“I will have my revenge.”
Another polar bear enters the screen and bows to Shiver.
“My Kingdom is ready.”
The camera expands outwards to show more polar bears wearing jewel armor
lining the mountains. In the back towers Ollie the Giant.
“Is yours?”
Shiver lets out a roar that is echoed by her army and begins to charge down the mountainside.
