Dear readers. This is an experimental fan fiction whereas I will attempt to write another multi-chapter story though I have another one in progress. If this is well recieved, I will continue this... but if not, well... who cares? I write for fun, not for fame. :)

This is more light hearted than my other fic Red Moon and Black Ice which focuses on darker themes. This fic is loosely based on a Russian folktale, Snegurochka (forgive me if I mispelled this) which tells about an old couple who made a snow child on a winter's day. Anyway, please enjoy!

Hmm... I might update if I get up to... say 5 reviews for this prologue? Hehe

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the idea about making a plot out of this ship.

Prologue: It Begins Where Summer Ends

Have you heard of the Child of the Winter Solstice?

They have heard legends about it... a girl born of cold and winter air and mountain rain combining. Some say she was a child cursed to live and die on the same winter day, whose soul was buried in the white of snow for all eternity. Others say she was a fairy responsible for the coming of winter in the northern regions, and that her role was to comfort the hearts of couples who lived their lives childless and longing.

Jack Frost, the mischievous winter spirit, knew better. And so did the Queen of Arendelle, Elsa. The child had been real, but not in the way everyone else thought.

The child was in fact a sight to behold. Her hair fell in loose waves like thousands of soft strands if ice. Her skin beamed like the moonlight, wrapped in the silk of silvery snow and frost. Her eyes were cold as blue yet warm as a fire... they smiled by themselves whenever they met another set of eyes. Her breath smelled like honey and her voice was just as sweet. Her smile... oh her smile blew everyone away...

It was impossible not to love her.

It was as if the child had been theirs all along... and they never even knew it. She would come to them every winter, and whisper words of love and affection. Her laughs would resonate through the air, reminding Jack that his sacrifice was not in vain and that he was alive though his heart was frozen forever. Her smiles would calm the wary soul, reminding Elsa that fear will never triumph over love though she's scared her heart is frozen forever.

They knew better. This child was a gift from Heaven. She made them believe there's no such thing as a frozen heart.

In fact, the child was the reason why these two lost souls met. She was the reason why the Winter Spirit valued his center even more. She was the reason why the Snow Queen never ceased to love anyone less.

This is the truth behind the Child of Winter Solstice...

It begins where summer ends.
