CHAPTER 1.

Kristoff tells Anna about the Harvest Festival.

* ANNA

The Harvest Festival, as Kristoff told Anna, was a night of celebration to the gods of the harvest, both for thanking them, as well as praying to them for another successful year next year. These gods didn't have any shape, nor did the Arendelle villagers worship at any symbol or idol of the gods. So really, it was just a celebration after all the hard work they did over the summer.

- "Oh it's so exciting, I can't wait to go", Anna said to Kristoff in the back garden of the castle. "I've always heard the music from my room", and she hummed one of the songs.

Kristoff, laying down in the grass by her side, only lifted his hand up a little to crane his neck to look at her face. The curious thing about Anna for him, and he wondered this often, was where did all that energy come from? Somewhere in that, comparatively, small and delicate frame was such an inexhaustible thirst for life.

Anna finished humming the part of the song she knew, and then kicked Kristoff, who had lost himself staring at her and thinking those thoughts.

"Ow," he groaned.

"Sorry," Anna said, cringing at how she was stronger than she thought she was.

"It's okay," Kristoff said.

"How did the rest of the song go?" Anna asked, after watching Kristoff rub his shin for a bit.

"Which one?"

"The one that everyone always sings, the, " and Anna hummed the chorus again. As she did this, she tried to close her eyes to remember the rest and her eyebrows arched as she started to go off key.

"You have the most amazing expression when you are trying to remember something", Kristoff said to her.

"Do I? I never noticed. And what's it called?"

"It's an old folk song. And you do."

"I do?" Anna asked.

"Yeah, you do," he confirmed.

Kristoff looked into her eyes and experienced such a sensation that was almost painful in his chest. It melted into a warmth, and Anna, seeing the effect she was having on him, smiled, creasing the corners of her eyes and making them sparkle. After doing this, Anna lifted her hand to pull back a strand of hair behind her ears, and this act so was so endearing for Kristoff, that he had to look away and cleared his throat.

"I'll go get the guitar," he said weakly. "I left it in the sled on the courtyard."

"Okay," Anna said softly, and looking at him as he walked out of the garden back into the castle, found the colors of the garden more vibrant and lively than she had ever seen them before.
