In a realm, far from ours. A Princess named Ashley, a creative, hyper-optimistic, young lady who lived her life by expirience in the Volcanic lands.

One day her parents visited her room for a very special surprise.

Her parents knocked on the door ready to announce their surprise. The princess opened the door with delight.

"Mom, Dad. What brings you to my room?"Ashley asked since they rarely visit her room.

"Well darling, since your sixteen years old, we need to prepare you for your future responsibilities." the Queen said with a calm tone hoping not to stress the royal youth.

"Which is?" Ashley asked.

"Well, you already know that you will be next in the throne and you already know your duties if ever you become a queen."

"Yes mom, you tell me that like everyday."

"Well today is different, tell her Francis."

The King suddenly remembered that he was in his daughter's room for a reason because he started to doze off on her bed.

"Oh right, we are about to show you your Inheritance that has been with us for melleniums." Francis beckoned his daughter to follow them.

Skipping happily through the hallways, Ashley noticed that their path was quite uncomfortable since it was leading all the way down to the Kingdom's deepest dungeon.

"So, where are you guys taking me?" Ashley asked with a smile.

"Well it won't be a surprise if I told you, wouldn't it?" Her father smiled back reassuring her safety.

"Hm, I guess your right"

Meanwhile, in another dimension the same scene is happening but it's quite different.

A Prince of Aquatica Dominio happened to be quite (just a little bit) the opposite of Ashley.

Christopher a calm, quiet young man who learns about the Kingdom through books.

Same with Ashley, his parents is showing him his Inheritance. As he followed them to the dungeon he brought his sketch pad.

As Ashley and her parents arrived to the dephts of the dungeon, there laid large doors made intirely of Igneous rocks.

Two of their best knights guarded these doors.

They opened the door for the royal bloods and represented what have never been seen before.

"This has been with us generation by generation" her father explained.

"If ever, time has come for me and your mother. I would like you to look after this and make sure that no one enters"

"Cool! A portal. Is it just me or is this thing really made of ice?"

"Yes, it is made intirely out of ice but I must warn you that creatures live on the other side"

"You say it like it's a bad thing"

"It IS a bad thing. When i was your age I saw something come out of the portal but as soon as the guards arrived there was nothing left but a dessipating cloud."

Ashley was astonished by this. It made her curious about the portal, it made her want to see what was on the otherside.

•°○•°○•°○

"Now son this is a big responsibility that you must take care of when you are older" said King Saph to his only son.

"Yes father. Father may I stay here? Just to observe its fiery features" Christopher asks with a soft and gentle tone.

"Ofcourse my child, just don't do anything that will make us think otherwise" After that his parents left.

Christopher nodded in agreement and took out his sketch pad as soon as his parents left.

•°○•°○•°○

"Oh please! PRETTY PLEASE! Can I stay here just for a moment? Please!" Ashley pleaded her parents because she knew that they would say no.

Ever since the "Wedding cake incident" with the farm animals, her parents stopped giving her anymore important duties and they never really trusted her to be left with something that they knew would result to disaster.

•▪•▪•▪•

"I don't know sweetie, I have a bad feeling about this" The King replied to his eager daughter.

"But Dad! I'll just . . . Look at it and all its glory. Besides I might get inspired to paint this 'beautiful (beautifully cold)' portal!"

"Ok, just don't do anything that'll make us worry. Ok honey?"

"YES-SERIE!"

▪•▪•▪•

As soon as they left, Ashley pulled out a piece of paper and wrote: "Don't worry about me! I'll be home before you even know it! :3" and jumped into the portal leading to an adventure that would change both the princess and prince's life FOREVER.
