## Introduction

*My dead Edward gave me a sealed envelope and left suddenly for Rosemount. Now I keep having the same nightmare ...*

We see a castle atop a snow-covered mountain before cutting inside to where a red-haired man in a long red coat approaches a large, broken mirror in a dark hall. He kneels down and picks up one of its broken shards, saying that he doesn't have all the shards and pleads to be released. He places the shard back into the mirror and as he does so, a woman with icy blue eyes and wearing a jagged crown appears in the broken glass. She declares in a cold voice that her power will return only when a mortal restores the magic mirror and the man backs around in fright.

## Plot

**WARNING: *This section contains massive spoilers! Read at your own risk!***

The game begins with an unseen woman opening the envelope that her love Edward gave her - inside is a piece of broken mirror and a letter in which Edward says he believes it is supposed to protect her.

## Memories

**Gerda**

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.

**Kai**

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.

**Rose**

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.

**The Ice Queen**

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.

**Edward Grand**

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.
