Prologue
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young boy lived in a shining mansion by a lake. Although he had everything his heart desired, the boy was naughty, selfish, and mischievous. But then, one night, an old beggar, small man came to the mansion and offered him a single wooden staff ornament in return for shelter from the bitter. Repulsed by his haggard appearance, the boy mocked the gift and turned the old man away, but he warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for value of worth is found within. And when he dismissed him again, the old man's ugliness melted away to reveal Manny, the ruler of the Land on the moon. The boy tried to apologize, but it was too late, for he had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, he transformed him into a frightening ice spirit and his skin turned deathly pale with his hands turning to frozen ice that anything he touched would turn frozen, Manny also placed a powerful spell on the mansion, and all who lived there with him. Ashamed of the abomination he has been reduced to, the boy concealed himself inside his now ice mansion , with a magic snow globe as his only window to the outside world. The staff Manny had offered was truly an enchanted one, that slowly turned to ice starting from the straight end until it would be frozen over to the crook by his seventeenth year. If he could learn to love another, and earn that person's love in return by the time the staff has completely frozen over, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a frightening spirit for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love an abomination?
