Once upon a time , that if it were not it would not be told , somewhere far away, at the edge of the earth , where people realm joins fairy realm , a great forest where fairies lived .
Day and night all the fairies were busy and had several good things to do on animals , insects , trees , flowers and all that have life .
Only one Fairy, had no job only three months a year and it was The Queen of ice . The other fairies were a little jealous of her because she had long hair , blond , almost white , because the body was slender , almost aerial , and because he had white skin so exciting fairies believed that she do bathing in milk .
Daily walks dreamily , easy walking on paths in the woods as if floating , with eyes lost the horizon , deep in her thoughts . Do not talk to anyone , did not stop only when we get to a place only she knew .
Remained there dreaming or thinking of something that no one knew but everyone would have been curious to know . Although she it was The Queen of Ice , her heart was burning of love coming and dreamed in the place where was where she had met her lover once a year . Embrace the place and relive the day that the Knight of Frost came to take orders .
The knight listened silently but this time their eyes have a dialogue beyond comprehension
Dreaming today, dreaming of tomorrow , and the time passed , after leaving Late Autumn Fairy , came the reign of Queen of Ice . First , she changed appearance and he called messenger
Then covered the land with a thick layer of snow . And put clothes of Queen and went to the meeting place .
On the way, passing over the houses of the people , already sees the knight of frost filled the windows whit flowers of ice .
It was the only gift that could do for The Queen . Seeing the beauty of ice flowers , Queen smiled delightedly but not for long because he had to stifle the flame in she’s heart . Nobody was supposed to see that love was not according to the laws that governed the realm of fairies . He was a simple knight , she was Queen and both had to have hearts of ice .

The answer is very simple: because of my and longing for Elegy. Why do I say this, not as an excuse, I admit guilt, too many things I had done and the roads did not have worn through near the toy store and the answer that are welcome , came later to me . These delays accumulated, they forced to make a special trip to the toy store to go answer
Since I entered the mall I was careful to hear the voices of the dinosaurs but silence made me think that they left without waiting for answer. The shop window I saw only two dinosaurs. I got excited and I knew I went to the shelf. But the sight of my eyes appeared made me tear
As seen in pictures, poor dinosaurs were lifeless , falling over each other with their mouths opened like in a silent cry .
Scared I asked the two survivors
who whit perished voice began to tell :
- After you left was a real holiday here, We was so glad that we leave and we will be loved and spoiled . As time went on and you would not have come to answer disappointment has replaced joy . All night walking through the mall and found magazine with a picture of Elegy and gathered around the picture and sighed with longing .
One by one having collapsed whit her image in the soul . We was just us and now we know that will be accepted and will be leaving tonight .
- How to go, do not know where he lives!
I have no answer for that , one of the seller’s came near me and asked :
- What are you doing here? Either buy or leave !
- Gone, gone! I just sat talking with some toys !
I left, leaving him to look after me stupefied. Once home I quickly wrote the story as you announcement their arrival.

Dreamcatcher(드림캐쳐) 'MYSTERIOUS MANSION' Story Film (DAY ver.)
Hearing Fairy of Foxes she wants the man began to postpone the answer. Went to a tree collapsed and pretending to be tired and hurt leg supported on a branch and began researched wound.
In a later seeing reproving look of man deigned to reply - OK! Accept say two wishes! - The first is this: you and those of your people not to eat from my bird yard!
Hearing something like this too has not agreed Fairy of Foxes . Lose a source of food easily and without danger . He began to sigh , and ran to a tree leaning collapsed and injured leg of a branch as if it hurt bad her leg .
and answered after many sighs and lamentations. - I promise we do not touch the birds in your yard! And as the second desire? View to be easy because you've asked a lot!
- Thanks for the first promise! Secondly, it would be something like this : to find me a wife!
Fairy of Foxes this time was even scared to fall off the trunk that had settled comfortably. No longer something one never asked but knowing that foxes are clever trust that they will promise to end well.
- Man ! Great courage you ask me that , for some little boldness paid whit life , but is it , I'm in a good mood today and I accept your request. Come back here in this instead , when the first snow stops and you find your wife!
- Thank you for this promise! You want me to help you go to your house? - No! Go now, my servants would come to help me and I do not want to find you here!
The man bowed before Fairy of Foxes and returned home. His life resumed its normal course, leaving in the morning on business and when he returned since the number of birds but promised fairy, does not take even one or a missing egg. So managed to gather some money by selling wood and besides an occasional egg or chicken.
Almost forgot about the second promise Fairy of Foxes , one evening when he looked out the window and saw the first snow . Large flakes falling from the sky is spread everywhere , no breath of wind does not bother dancing snowflakes . He went to bed with the thought that the day will have a way to do.
As never before, the morning came full of light, the first snow fall like a garb that shone in the sun. The road through the forest was quite hard because fresh snow was soft and sinking into it but it was worth the effort . When he reached the clearing was amazed, it shone like diamonds sprinkled in the middle and you expect a girl unprecedented beauty
He knelt in front of her, took her hand and kissed it, it looked for a while and then holding their hand went to his house where they lived happily until deep old age surrounded by their children. The end ....... ...... The Tonko Alexander
