These are the transcripts of the journal of Edward Grand's lover in *Ice Rose* and *Ice Rose Bonus Chapter*. The screenshots of every page are in the galleries after the transcripts.

## Ice Rose

* **Page 1:** Edward gave me a sealed envelope and rushed off to Rosemount. Ever since he left, I've had the same nightmare over and over. The police have given up all hope of finding Edward, but I haven't. We promised each other we'd be together forever, and I'm keeping that promise.

* **Page 2:** Who does this overgrown icicle of a woman think she is? And why is Edward in her power? Now I really need to find him!

* **Page 3:** Edward left a letter and a mirror shard, saying it would protect me ... from what? I have to get to Rosemount ...

* **Page 4:** Three head images are scratched into a nearby rock. Hopefully, they'll be helpful.

* **Page 5:** I think I communicated with a ghost! Her body was in some kind of frozen state, but an apparition calling herself Gerda appeared, begging me for help.

* **Page 6:** Gerda's love for her family was her weakness. She tried to save her daughter but fell into the Ice Queen's trap. Long ago, during the Ice Queen's reign, these lands were bound in ice, but Kai and Gerda's love defeated the eternal cold. When spring returned, the city thawed, and rose bushes grew far and wide. The city found new life and a new name - Rosemount. Kai and Gerda settled in Rosemount to keep the Ice Queen from returning and soon they had a daughter that they named Rose. Now, Gerda's one wish is to see her beloved daughter again.

* **Page 7:** I saw a flyer for the Flower Festival at Castle Le Roy. With the blizzard destroying everyone's flowers, it's sure to be popular. I need to get to that castle myself, but first, I need a ticket.

* **Page 8:** She's a persistent little slush ball! After she appeared to taunt me, it started snowing. I hope this is just a coincidence, or her eternal winter threat might be more than hot air.

* **Page 9:** On the way into town, I found an old newspaper. There was an article about a terrible blizzard and missing townspeople, including a woman named Gerda. Was that really the Gerda I helped on the gondola? But the article was written 50 years ago!

* **Page 10:** I found another note from Edward near the entrance to the ticket office.

* **Page 11:** I met another ghost, but this one is aggressive! That chandelier could have crushed me! There's no sign of Edward here, either ...

* **Page 12:** It seems the only inhabitants of Rosemount these days are ghosts. I met another one, calling himself Kai. He says that he and Gerda defeated my sleety nemesis back in the olden days. But now he wants my help. I'm supposed to find an icy heart, with the help of a scarecrow! I guess ghosts can't do much for themselves.

* **Page 13:** I found a note in the hotel room where Kai was sitting. He must have hidden a fragment of the mirror, only for my poor Edward to find it, and now I have it! I wonder who these people were who once defeated the Ice Queen.

* **Page 14:** Kai's mercy was his weakness. He could not destroy the Ice Queen's frozen heart and paid a heavy price for it. Rose grew up hearing the story of the victory over the Ice Queen. She always wanted to see her tomb, but her parents said it was too dangerous. They didn't destroy their enemy, but hid her icy heart away and shattered the magic mirror. Powerless and filled with hatred, the Ice Queen waited in her tomb for years. Only a sacrifice from the bloodline of those that captured her could set her free. Now, Kai's only wish is for someone to finish what he couldn't.

* **Page 15:** In a fenced-in garden area, there's a headless scarecrow. I found a scroll in its pocket with instructions for making a jack-o'-lantern. Well, it does need a noggin ...

* **Page 16:** Using three special plates, I was able to unravel the code.

* **Page 17:** The insets are similiar to the gems I found. Maybe they'll help me in my search.

* **Page 18:** The wintery witch paid me another visit! I'm beginning to enjoy our little chats. She tried to attack me this time and found that I'm protected. It must be the shard. Good ol' Edward ...

* **Page 19:** Kai's journal tells the story of how they defeated the Ice Queen with the power of their love for each other. The queen's icy heart was hidden away, along with the mirror shard. But Edward must have ended up with the shard, and the Ice Queen has returned to wreak havoc on Rosemount. I also found a strange pocket watch with four hands. Maybe it's a clue.

* **Page 20:** Whew! That was a close call. The Ice Queen attacked my gondola, and I barely made it out alive! Now I need to find another way to the castle. I won't rest till I find Edward!

* **Page 21:** I found one of Kai's notes. He says he sealed the side entrance into the castle so that no one could access it. I hope I find the gate key.

* **Page 22:** I found the entrance to the cave and met another ghost needing my help. This one wants me to rescue her from prison. She might know something about this Ice Queen, and I can't ignore a distress call.

* **Page 23:** Yet another ghost needing assistance! I'll have to restore the bridge and follow her. I'll need her help getting out of these caves.

* **Page 24:** I found a note from the ghost. It seems there is some connection between her and the ice figurines.

* **Page 25:** The mystery has been solved! Kai and Gerda's daughter is the one who released the Ice Queen. She didn't mean to, though. She was just a kid who wanted to accept an ice rose, and she's more than paid for her mistake. The Ice Queen stuck her in prison when she escaped. The only way to release her is to restore the last rose.

* **Page 26:** Another part of the ghost's diary. So that's what happened at the flower festival ...

* **Page 27:** Rose's curiosity was her weakness. She was so desperate to see the Ice Queen that she crept into the icy tomb in secret. The Ice Queen laid there, cold, beautiful and surrounded by icy roses. Unable to resist, Rose touched the flowers and felt a mortal chill. At that moment, the Ice Queen awoke and looked Rose in the eyes, freezing her as an ice statue. Rose was the sacrifice the Ice Queen needed to return to life. As Rose's eyes closed forever, she saw the Ice Queen's past. She saw the truth. Curiosity ruined her family's lives. Now, Rose's only wish is that her misdeeds could be corrected.

* **Page 28:** I found a diary kept by Kai and Gerda's daughter. It tells the story of how she found the Ice Queen's dungeon prison. A strange man in a robe showed her how to access the dungeon. Who is he? Why did he help the Ice Queen escape?

* **Page 29:** The princess of pain showed up again to taunt me. She put out my fire, but she can't dampen my spirits.

* **Page 30:** It's another diary entry from Kai and Gerda's daughter.

* **Page 31:** I hunted down every last figurine, placed them correctly, and now I've got the key in my hands!

* **Page 32:** I must be getting close ... that blustery bombshell just paid me another visit!

* **Page 33:** The Ice Queen's weakness lay in her past as a human, capable of love. Once upon a time, a kind and sensitive princess lived in this castle. When her beloved kitten disappeared, the girl cried for days, until her father gave her a ring to comfort her. The father told her that losses are part of life, and they must be accepted, but when the plague took her parents that spring, the princess couldn't accept it, so she called the magician for aid. Princess wanted to bring her parents back and end the pain, so the magician locked the girl's heart in ice and gave her a broken magic mirror. The princess with a broken heart became the Ice Queen. Her one wish was to bring back the winter - when her parents were alive.

* **Page 34:** I can't believe it, but it worked! I shot a cannonball right through her ice wall!

* **Page 35:** This tells the story of a strange man binding a girl's heart in ice. Is this how the Ice Queen came to be?

* **Page 36:** A little girl named Angelique Le Roy was orphaned when her parents died of plague. They died just as spring came ... More than anything, she wished that winter would never end. Her wish came true. A mysterious hooded stranger bound the child's heart with ice and gave her a magic mirror that would call eternal winter, but it was broken.

* **Page 37:** I found a line of numbers and figures on the trunk. If I specify the date of death of the girl's parents on the trunk, it will open.

* **Page 38:** I've made a fantastic discovery! Within these very castle walls is a beam of magic light capable of melting through any of the Ice Queen's traps.

* **Page 39:** Wow! The light melted the queen's ice and snow! I wonder what the beam would do if I aimed it at HER ...

* **Page 40:** Edward's fascination with legends was his weakness. Searching for answers brought him to Rosemount, where he was captured. According to legend, when a mortal restores a magic mirror, eternal winter falls over the world. The Ice Queen believed it would bring her parents back. Many tried to restore the mirror only to turn to ice, but Edward succeeded, and winter covered the world. But the magician's promise didn't come true, for not even magic can bring back the dead. Icebound, Edward felt the Ice Queen's grief and anger. That's when he realized that the only way to defeat winter was by melting the frozen heart. And only love can melt a heart.

* **Page 41:** You sure don't get that 'family' feeling from the Ice Queen, but I guess everyone has to come from somewhere.

* **Page 42:** Here it is, the other half of the queen's heart! She has no idea what I'm planning. I'll restore the heart, which will make her think she's won. But then I will destroy her with a beam of ice-melting light! Then no one will ever be able to release her into the world again.

## Ice Rose Bonus Chapter

* **Page 1:** I used a magic beam on the Ice Queen's chilly heart and thwarted her evil plans. In the process, there was quite an explosion on the palace grounds. It's a wonder I survived at all. Edward is another story. I'm worried he didn't make it. Among the fragments of the queen's shattered heart, I found a bright rose.

* **Page 2:** It's the villain's note!

* **Page 3:** I found the robed creep who's behind everything! I've ruined his plans, so I'm his new nemesis ... Good!

* **Page 4:** My mischievous monk has a few ice tricks of his own, as it turns out. He's blocked the road with a wall of ice. I wonder where he picked up that talent.

* **Page 5:** I discovered several rooms for rituals having to do with blue roses. It appears a society used them as a magic emblem.

* **Page 6:** All that time I thought the Ice Queen was the most treacherous villain in the whole land, but it turns out there was a man in a robe behind it all.

* **Page 7:** Edward's under some spell, and now he has blue eyes. I preferred his old eye color, thank you very much. I need to find that robed man ...

* **Page 8:** This is no ordinary dwelling. An alchemist lived here, and he was tinkering around trying to create magic mirrors.

* **Page 9:** The alchemist's house turned out to be the mother lode! I've found a recipe for an acid. I've found a recipe for an elixir that will help cure Edward, along with a few special blue roses.

* **Page 10:** I've discovered a cure for Edward, thanks to the society of blue rose worshippers. All I need to do is find 5 blue rose petals and combine them with the queen's red rose and a special alchemical elixir.
