And so they set off towards the dawn, the bears the princess, the winter Queen and the boy.
Forward into their kingdom lost. The winter scenes and the bleakness brought them no joy!
Where once was were fields and villages was now only desolation
The child clinging to her, Mae could not believe her eyes , the sight was beyond contemplation.
Where were all the people, where were had the villages and the towns, all gone the life of old.
The witch of the East had had turned a beautiful land into an icescape, dull and cold.
An evil spell she had woven, because she had not been given what she had demanded
She wanted the sole devotion of Mae’s father , he was was not happy to do as she commanded .
Polar Bear could not believe his eyes , so he walked looking down at the ground.
The beautiful white horses tried to comfort him but so sad was he no solace was to be found.
Mae though heart broken sort to comfort him too, she realized then she loved him with a love so clear and true.
Gently setting the child down on the horses back , she dismounted and whispered in the mare’s ear. “I entrust the child to you.
Mae could not stand to see such pain , so she walked and talked with Polar Bear hoping to ease his strain.
The Winter Queen was pleased to see this blossoming of love she knew nothing melted ice so fast as love’s sweet refrain.
The wind was icy the snow was hard but our party ventured on , not sure where they were going nor yet what they would find.
Surely as breath follows breath Mae and Polar Bear grew closer , their love began to grow . Both were beautiful and both were of a kind.
SO AGAIN WE MUST LEAVE OUR TRAVELLERS TO TRAVEL ON.
