Now let me tell you a little story. It’s called: How the King Saved Christmas.
Once upon a time, there was a place called Freezeezy Peak. It was known for its vast amount of snow, which made it a nice place for a holiday trip during Christmas. Many families with their kids would go there and celebrate with each other in this true winter wonderland. There would be singing, children playing in the snow, building snowmen…and snowball fights of course!
But one Christmas season, everything changed. It was a harsh winter. It was cold and stormy. But there was no snow. Freezeezy Peak looked very pale, there were no snowmen, just patches of green and brown. The first families who arrived were shocked to see the usual winter wonderland in such a state. There was no Christmas spirit this season.
During this time, King Dedede was on a trip through the land that he believed was his own. When he visited Freezeezy Peak and saw the state it was in, he knew that he had to do something. Not far from the village where the families lived during their holiday, there was a large, frozen lake. It was said that Freezeezy Peak’s guardian spirit would live there.
Not sure what would await him, the king decided to look for the guardian spirit and ask for help. On his way, he stumbled across several frozen frogs near the lake. Not having any better leads, he decided to follow this trail of frozen frogs, hoping it would lead him in the right direction.
Only a short walk later he found a young girl standing by the lake, holding a frozen frog in her hand. She wore a blue dress and a large blue ribbon in her blue hair. Behind her back, six icicles were floating, making it look like wings. It turns out the king found the guardian spirit after all.
The girl he found is an ice fairy called Cirno, the locals call her the Beloved Tomboyish Girl. King Dedede told her about the state of Freezeezy Peak and asked her if she could help. As if in shock, the fairy suddenly dropped the frozen frog and shouted “It’s Christmas already?! I-I got to hurry!!!” After saying that, she vanished in the village’s direction.
The King decided to head back to the village as well. By the time he returned, it was snowing. Slowly but steadily, the place turned into the winter wonderland it used to be. And just like the snow, joy and happiness returned. There was laughter everywhere, the young ones built a gigantic snowman while the older ones told stories about Christmas in the old days. Just how it used to be in the previous years.
Satisfied, the king continued his journey through the land that he believed was his own. Since that day, every Christmas in Freezeezy Peak, the people would come together and sing a carol called How the King Saved Christmas, forever remembering the actions of the king and the fairy.
Merry Christmas everyone!
