CHAPTER ONE
In the thick mists of the morning, two figures paced themselves through the clouds as a kingdom appeared in the distance. A small boy, no older than 5, ran in circles around a mid-age women. An excited grin stretched across his features as the women smiled warmly down upon him.
"Caleb, calm yourself, don't you wish to meet the princess?" The boy, Caleb, paused in running before turning to curiously question the women.
"Yes, but I don't understand Miss Depa." He blinked owlishly up at her. She smiled before bending down to his level.
"If you hasten and waste your energy now, how will you be able be able to talk to the princess?" Depa inquired gently to the young boy.
"The queen," Depa pulled back ever so slightly, shocked before she smiled as his words settled in her mind.
"Oh?" she laughed, understanding what he meant before the answer even arrived.
"Yes, when I'm older I'll always be there for her, treat her like a queen, not princess. She's a queen," Depa smiled warmly at Caleb, who stood unaware of the real meaning behind his words. Depa nodded before standing back up to continue walking with Caleb, who grabbed her hand and began hastening towards the kingdom once again, just as moments before.
"Very well then my child. I'll see to it you keep your promise," She hushed towards him in gentle teasing, though he remained unaffected, still desperate to meet the little girl, who had been the hot topic of gossip for months now.
"So why have we come here today?" a young child, around the age of eight, questioned as she glanced up to her father.
He smiled down as they finally reached the palace and passed through the gates.
"Because the king and queen have finally had a child to become heir to the Lothal throne." Brown eyes widened in realisation before silence took over. The two continued forward, the guards greeting them before escorting them to the royal family.
A baby cooed as her mother gently toyed with her blue curly wisps of hair, a deep blue unlike any seen. Blue eyes sparkled in curiosity as more voices consumed the air within the room.
"Good morning, I hope your journeys here were pleasant?" A man moved in front of her, darting her attention towards him as he walked over to four new beings. A mid-age women and man, alongside a girl with fair skin, wide brown eyes and wavy brown hair. Another boy right next to her, stormy grey eyes, brown shoulder length hair and tan skin. The boy suddenly nudged forward before falling over, his face flushing a bright red.
The child giggled in excitement as all eyes suddenly drew to her, giggling harder, she threw her small, pudgy hands over her eyes, as if to shield her from sight, her light violet dress fluffing up around her.
"Is that her?! Is that the princess? Can I meet her? Please!" The boy's frantic questions and pleas echoed above her before several footsteps thudded across the ground.
"I like you a lot princess, you're really pretty." The baby pulled her hands to catch the eyes of the boys peering down at her. She giggled once again as she reached out for him, his eyes widened in excitement before glancing away.
"Can I hold her? Pleaseeeeeeeee?" The adults smiled at each other before Depa walked over to Caleb and the princess as she instructed on how to hold her gently while they sat down in the rocking chair beside her cradle.
The king and queen smiled in pure bliss as Caleb cooed at the child before the little girl, Hera, ran over to join in. Her father standing beside the parents as Depa talked to the children in hushed tones.
Everything would be fine…
*TIME SKIP – 3 YEARS LATER*
"Again, again!" Ezra giggled as Caleb ran around, swinging his wooden sword left and right.
"Form 3 and forward!" He charged at the 3 year old who squealed in delight before running away, frost spiralling under her footsteps, taking the forms of giant snowflakes.
"Save me Hera, save me!" The brunette appeared in front of Caleb, a small silver dagger poking at his sword. Her brown hair falling down her back in two braids emerald, green stripes ribboning in them.
"Cease thy solider, halt!" Her fringe pinned back, loosening even more. Her green eyes glinted in suppressed laughter. The blue hair girl hid behind her, giggling as Caleb raised his eyebrow at the challenge.
"CHARGE!" Caleb lashed forward, dropping his 'weapon' by his side and tackling both girls to the floor, their laughter ran free through the castle's halls.
"Caleb." A single call rang out from the doorway; Caleb looked to see his guardian, Miss Depa, waiting for him. His smile vanished at the sight, knowing he had to leave. The girls looked up curiously, though Hera now 11 understood.
"Hera," The voice of her father cut through to her as well. But without hesitation, she moved from the group and over to her awaiting parent. Caleb however took time moving. Had it really been 3 days? They came here at the news of the new impending baby, Ezra's sister. The children keeping each other company while the adults could not devote it themselves.
Caleb and Hera looked at each other, both knowing that they had to go, though it tore them apart. The three children having basically almost grown up together. Ezra sat in the middle, the knowledge slowing dawning on her that her friends were leaving, tears pricked at her eyes. Caleb having spot this, stopped moving towards Depa and raced back to her.
"Hey, hey it's okay. Don't cry." He whispered brushing her frozen tears away as frost ferns spiralled beneath them. Noticing this, Caleb poked at her tummy, resulting in a laugh before poking again and again as her laughs broke out across the room, snowflakes falling gently with the wind.
"More!" Ezra through her hands into the air as blue sparkles flew across, her eyes lighting up in joy. The two parents smiling at exchange, knowing very well who was the creator, Ezra. From at least six months old, she held a gift of ice and snow. Winter magic glowed in her heart, full of such joy and innocence. Her powers only growing with age, starting with sparkles and few snowflakes now to full snow and ice.
"Hahahahaha!" The children laughed in delight as the room began to turn into a small winter wonderland before-
"Ezra," Her head snapped up to meet the warm and tired orbs of her parents. Rested in her mother's arms was a small orange bundle of blankets. Her mother moved closer to reveal her sister, violet blue hair flat against her temple, her eyes screwed shut as she slept.
"Ezra this is your baby sister, Sabine" Sabine cooed gently in her sleep before turning away into her mother's chest. Ezra giggled.
"Now she's going to need her big sister, you have to protect her at all costs." The little girl's eyebrows furrowed in all serious as she took this in before nodding solemnly, the 3 year old understanding to her best abilities. Her parents smiled in bliss, Ezra would be a great sister to Sabine.
*2 YEARS LATER*
For the who-knows-how-many time Caleb walked into the Lothal Castle, the eerie silence screaming at him to find Ezra. A hand grabbed his shoulder, causing him to jump a mile high.
"Hahahahaha! You should have seen your face!" Hera. Of course, while sitting at the oldest age of 13, she still could not resist some childish acts like these. Caleb turned to face her, taking in her appearance, two thick, loose and long braids of brown fell down her back to her waist. Emerald green shining in them, her bright green eyes sparkling in humour. Fair skin dotted with few, sparse freckles. He raised an eyebrow before talking.
"I'm going to assume you just arrived too?" She nodded, her pulled back fringe bouncy on top of her head, a few strands falling forward.
"Hmm, any clues on Ezra?" Her head shook, moving forward, her favourite dress flowing behind her, cut off at the shoulders, billowing down her arms in puffy white sleeves before pulling together at her wrists, it parted away at the main of it. Starting off white then branching into faded orange down to her ankles, revealing her boot-covered feet.
"This way, come on!" Her hand waved with her as she ran away, Caleb jolted before following to keep up. A smooth and simply, clean cut green shirt puffed out. Pacing down the halls, his black boots stomped against the ground.
"Keep up puffy pants!" His cheeks burned red. Looking down at his, surprisingly still white pants.
"They are not!" A scream halted from in front of them as they crashed into another being, a huge one too. Glancing up to see a very tall boy, looking to be around about Hera's age only huge. His glowing green eyes narrowing before he walked away. Ruffed black hair spiked up from all kinds of directions, a simple grey shirt and brown pants matched with black boots covered his attire.
"Come on Zeb that was fun!"
"Yeah, Fun!" Ice shot out and exploded on Zeb, turning him into a giant snowman. Two little girls appeared by a doorway, their expressions blank before bursting into smiles as they fell to the ground laughing.
The two visitors smiled in confusion and relief, well recognising the girls. Ezra now quickly catching up height at 5 years old, her dark navy blue hair, now much longer, pulled back into a royal bun but fluffed out in all directions nowadays, tanned skin starting from her bare feet following up to her strangely orange dress, the sleeves puffed around her shoulders and ended there.
Sabine on the other hand, her short but growing violet hair stuck outwards in all directions possible, most likely glued there by ice. White long sleeved dress covered her form but for how long it would remain 'white' was the question. Sabine loved colour a bit too much.
"CALEB!" Ezra saw fit to tackle Caleb to the ground upon her sighting of him. A small tone of giggles followed from behind as Sabine toddled after her big sister, reaching for Hera. At only two, her knowledge of running came short for the time being.
"I missed you," She murmured into his shirt, Caleb laughed gently and held her close, both unmoving from the supposedly comfortable ground. Until someone cleared their throat that is, Ezra groaned, standing up alongside Caleb and gesturing to the boy Zeb.
"Guys this is Zeb, Zeb meet Hera and Caleb." The boy in question, Zeb, smirked at her display of irritation.
"Nice to meet you," He moved past and shook Caleb's hand and bowed for Hera.
"Likewise," Hera curtsied for respect and Caleb nodded in following.
"I Know how old you two are, looks like I'm top dog, 15." The two nodded in understanding, now his height made better sense for them.
"Enough talk, PLAY!" The whole area around them promptly followed suit to blow up with snow.
"EZRA!" Only howls of laughter answered Zeb back, heavy footsteps suggested it would be wise to run.
*TWO YEARS LATER*
"Ezzy," Sabine tugged on her older sister's skirt, willing for attention. Azure blue eyes honed back into reality before snapping down to the 4 year old below her. The wind howling gently around them, up on the lone balcony near their quarters. A toothy grin erupted before Sabine flew from her feet, squeals flying past her lips, as she spun around away from the ground in her sister's 7 year old arms.
"Do the magic, do the magic!" She giggled in joy; Ezra's eyes sparkled in mischief as blew onto her sister's face, coating it with a very fine layer of frost. Brown eyes held shock for a moment before frost went everywhere with the child's excitable frantic movements.
But deep below, two adults and two teenagers continued to pace towards to palace in peace, until that is, a snow ball literally fell on top of Caleb's head, screwing up the neat, combed hair. A scowl etched onto his expression until the reason presented itself with huge amount of childish laughter flowed down from the sky, sorta.
"Look!" Hera and Caleb focused in on two relatively small figures up on a small balcony. The small pudgy, Sabine in her older sister's grasp, flying around in circles but drawn very close to her chest protectively without knowing.
"EZRA!" Caleb hollered up them, the two froze instinctively, turning to find the source of the voice, smiling and waving excitedly when they located it. Frowning when Zeb showed up beside them though. Hera and Caleb watched curiously as Sabine was shoved into Zeb's arms and Ezra saw fit to jump off the balcony, only no one knew her intentions or found it funny.
"EZRA!" Before they could come close to reaching her, ice shot out from her palms and she slid down in beautiful patterns of a slide, disappearing out from behind her as she went. The adults could only watch in amazement and disbelief of the shear capability of Ezra's powers. Both drawing to the same conclusion when their eyes met, her powers were growing fast, more than anyone could anticipate.
"Snowman!" Ezra halted at the last moment, snow puffing out from her hands to her friends, outrageous giggles floating from the castle, Sabine clearly taking the safer route down.
"You're crazy." Caleb stated bluntly, non-moving as he and Hera sat in snow. She snorted loudly, staring him down with a sparkle in her blue eyes, glowing with mischief.
"I grew up with you didn't I?" When Caleb showed no response, she smirked in victory, moving forward to help her friends alongside Zeb and Sabine who had finally emerged from the castle behind them.
"Snowman, snowman!" Sabine seemed to suck it all as she progressed with the others; nothing else ever seemed to change in her vocabulary these days. Ezra snorted and fell back laughing at her baby sister's words. Even Zeb couldn't resist a smile. It turned out that Zeb used to work for another royal family, who though he wouldn't tell, training as a guard that worked very close with the family until an attack left them defenceless, very few survivors came from the assault, some barely getting away, captured or worse.
The family he guarded was no longer whole and divided, much like his own. This time around he was assigned as the princesses' personal bodyguard and friend of course. Only he was more of big brother so to speak (Ezra's words) being already 17. His face though when Ezra's powers came to light around him was priceless.
"C'mon!" Ezra's hands waved in the air, vanishing back into her home, huge snowflake ice patterns growing where her steps once were.
Caleb could stare in amusement and wonder as they continued to run, ice sprawling around the walls in beautiful patterns and snow glittering on all of their clothing. Azure eyes shined in agonizing beautiful for the 7 year old. Finding it near to impossible to imagine it had already been 7 years. Felt just like yesterday he was dying to meet the newborn babe, before they knew it, she began to grow up and Sabine came along and now she's 7.
His stormy blue eyes followed her wherever she went, but he couldn't help it, if something happened to her…..
"Caleb!" The mist around his mind suddenly vanished to find Ezra giggling at the other end of the hall, her hands on her hips and her soft pink lips formed into a playful pout at his actions.
"C'mon!" Stamping her foot, a smile fought against her pout before Caleb lunched forward as she squealed and ducked away in the ball room behind her, the rest waiting.
Everything would be fine.
*1 YEAR LATER*
Normally the middle of the night is meant for sleeping, that's what the whole castle was doing – well most of the castle.
"Ezra, psst," a small figure popped up from the floor, light brown eyes glittering in mischief. Her small pudgy hands gripped a blanket connected a bed where the other little girl, Ezra lay sleeping. When no movement presented itself, she clambered onto the bed messily until reaching where her sister was.
"Ezra, wake up, wake up, wake up!" Her excited whispers broke through her sister's comfort of sleep when two glowing blue orbs opened blearily. Grasping what her sister was up to, in the middle of the night.
"Sabine, go back to sleep." Sabine giggled and ignored the 'threat'.
"I just can't! The sky's awake so I'm awake, so we have to play." She groaned in childish begging, flopping theatrically back onto her sister's motionless body. Ezra only snorted, pushing her way around her sister's form on her.
"Go play by yourself," She huffed, being 8 years old compared to her sister at 5, her short movement of rolling over easily 'nudged' her sister straight off the bed and on her butt to the floor. Sabine frowned in thought, now what? Drumming her finger, her eyes lit up with an idea, jumping quickly back to the top of the bed.
She had no remorse for her sister and desperately tried to pull her eyes open for her, a smirk playing on her lips.
"You wanna build a snowman?" The question was whispered in an alluring tone, Sabine could only squeal in happiness when Ezra's eyes slowly slid open again, a smirk forming on her lips too.
"C'mon, c'mon!" Ezra tried helplessly shushing her sister while dragging her through the halls.
While elsewhere Caleb lay asleep until faint giggling and squealing woke him. Sitting up wearily, rubbing his eyes and looking around in confusion.
"C'mon!" A child's voice, very familiar to him reached his ears. Then his door promptly opened up to reveal two very mischievous looking girls, Hera only smiling amusement at the sight and Zeb behind all with a blank face, a small smile and scowl fighting for dominance over his expression.
"C'mon." Ezra stood slightly hunched over, eyes shining and one hand outstretched, waving him over. Sighing and grabbing his well-worn coat, he held no protests knowing that there was no way he'd win anyway.
They began to laugh as they jumped down the steps towards the ballroom, Sabine trying her hardest to still rush Ezra.
"Shhh," she raised a finger to her lips as they reached the room, bursting in while Zeb closed the doors behind them.
"Do the magic, do the magic!" Sabine cried trying to still hide her laughs. Ezra smirked and held her sister closer, the teenagers just a few steps away.
"Watch this," her hands moved delicately in a rolling motion, a sparkle of light growing in them.
"Ooohhh," Sabine focused on the ball of light with complete focus. Caleb, Hera and Zeb smiled in the background but just as awed by their friend's talent. The light grew even bigger than before it shot out from her hands to the roof, glitter flying everywhere and floating down to them. Sabine's eyes widened amazement, rocketing forward around the group.
"This is amazing!" She squealed with joy, jumping up and down reaching for it all. Caleb and Hera seemed to throw away all thought and joined in, Caleb though right by Ezra's side.
"Watch this!" Ezra cooed excitedly to her sister, making a dramatic show of pulling her foot away and pressing it down to the floor, beautiful smooth ice grew out from beneath it. From this only more laughter came from the group, snow flowing from Ezra's grasp. Caleb followed her movements and began to ball up parts of the snow to form an awkward looking snowman with more boxy looking shapes.
"C'mon," Ezra whispered to Caleb when she managed to reappear with a couple of pebbles and somehow two sticks. He nodded, stepping away from it; a rectangular shape for the bottom, a square looking one for the middle and on the top was an oval sized head.
Ezra sighed giggled with delight, pushing the eyes on and sticking two dark brown pieces of wood in the sides. She nudged it forward to wear Sabine sat on a throne like chair with Hera standing by to keep her still while Zeb stood off slightly to the side, still guarding them all.
"Hi, my name is Phantom and I love warm hugs." Ezra mocked the thought of the snowman, now dubbed 'Phantom' in a low muffled voice, Caleb tried his hardest to keep quiet at the sound of it. How was that she still looked so beautiful while doing this all?
Sabine's eyes grew wide before leaping from the chair and Hera's grasp and clinging onto the snowman.
"I love you 'Phantim'," she cried, but her focus remained her big sister lovingly.
"Follow me!" Ezra called to the others, turning around with her back to her sister, everyone stood confused for a moment until ice magic spurted from her palms, sending both forward around the room. Caleb, Hera and Zeb froze in amazement, a wondered and amazed smile played on Caleb face. Then Hera whipped him forward to into sliding forward to keep up with the two sisters.
Everyone laughed at the moment, Zeb moved on carefully to keep an eye on it all. But the girls remained oblivious to everyone but themselves, caught in the moment of it all.
"Okay that's enough of that," the girls whined when Zeb called to end it, Ezra could get exhausted with using her powers too much like that and who knows what could happen. Sabine hunched over with the fact that the fun had ended already, Caleb, Ezra and Hera frowned at the sight until Ezra's eyes lit with an idea. She whispered something to her sister's ear and they bounded away to a clear area.
Caleb paused at the unknown idea, Ezra turned to see and winked at him before snow flew from her hands once again, creating a huge snow pile, Sabine flew into it then popped out suddenly sending snow back to her sister who laughed but nodded.
"Hang on." Another pile grew next to it, it height slightly increased, Sabine moved to conquer that one as well.
"Again!" She squealed. More piles continued to grow with ease while Sabine moved faster to jump on them. The teens laughed at the sight until –
"Faster!" Ezra's eyes narrowed in frustration trying to follow her sister's actions.
"Wait! Slow down!" She cried but the command fell on deaf ears to Sabine. Fear rushed over Zeb and he moved forward from the sides while Caleb and Hera paused from their laughter in horror. Snow began to spew from her palms messily and much bigger.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Ezra began to mutter harshly under her breath, she couldn't keep this up, and she prayed that someone would catch her sister or she would hear her.
"Ezra!" Caleb called out, running for her alongside Hera who yelled at Sabine to stop. Fear grew wide Ezra's eyes.
"Catch me!" All of a sudden Ezra's foot gave way, sending her backwards. Her head banging against the iced floor harshly, pain searing across her face. She opened her eyes only to see her sister flying through the air with nothing to catch her. Her heart stopped and instinct took over to fling her arm out.
"SABINE!" Magic burst from her hand, but instead of catching the ground, it moved to hit her sister on her temple, all signs of life vanishing with a single grunt of pain, she fell. Ezra cried out in fear, the magic still pulsing with life, Hera caught Sabine just before another blast knocked her back. Zeb tried to run forward but the waves were too dangerous for him to come anywhere close.
"EZRA!" The 8 year old turned to catch sight of Caleb, who desperately wanted to stop this all, only a few footsteps away, when he moved she flinched harshly trying to stay away. Her hands now slowly glowing blue with patterns spraying over them. Fear took over as she backed away, trying to calm down. Suddenly two hands grabbed hers and pulled her in, she froze, willing her heart to calm down, to breathe. But the shivering of Caleb's body broke her focus when he slowly dropped the ground, body trembling as his eyes slid shut.
"Caleb!" Ezra cried confused pain. All logical thoughts fled her mind as she held onto Caleb for dear life, life drowning out. The waves ending but darker ice spread out, covering the entire room, Phantom crumpled to pieces from the darker side of her powers.
"HELP, SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!" Ezra cried out, Zeb dodging to the girls who still remained motionless. A few moments passed and thuds echoed from behind the doors, ice cracking and giving way to the adults, their eyes wide with fear and shock, running to them all.
"Don't worry," Ezra whispered, letting go and running for her sister, grabbing and holding her close. A small strip of hair glowed, turning white while Ezra stared in pained shock and realisation. Tears billowed in the corners of azure eyes.
"Don't worry Sabine, I got you." Only she was broken away by the array of distraught parents. Mixed words covering over everyone.
"They're ice cold."
"I know where to go." Ezra's father stood firm, the next movements of them all. Frantic running to the horses and leaving the castle, Ezra's mother and Ezra herself on one horse while her father, Zeb and Hera balanced out on the next and lastly Hera's father, Depa and Kanan on the third horse, all going for the same place.
*Elsewhere*
A young boy moved around, grown men ignoring him as they reached for the ice, saws slicing through the ice and clamps grabbing them from the arctic waters. The boy, stood as tall as one could for a 6 year old, his white hair flopping around his head under a woollen grey beanie, grey eyes stared ahead to the ice until a small baby reindeer nudged him forward, warm orange eyes saying 'go for it'. The boy laughed and trudged forward with him, a board dragged along behind them. Unknowing to the men that the young child and his companion were there, they carried on, their voices echoing together, a song with a warning to all those near.
"Born of cold and winter air
And mountain rain combining,
This icy force, both foul and fair,
Has a frozen heart worth mining."
"So cut through the heart, cold and clear
Strike for love and strike for fear
See the beauty, sharp and sheer
Split the ice apart
and break the frozen heart"
"C'mon Chopper!" The boy laughed as he ducked between the men pacing to and from the carriers. While others slashed and divided the ice, pushing it down to the rest for loading. The boy focusing on a single block of ice until it slipped off again, splashing him with the freezing water, giggling when Chopper licked it off without hesitation.
Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
Hyup! Ho! Watch your step! Let it go!
Beautiful!
Powerful!
Dangerous!
Cold!
Different looking men of all kinds sang with a heavy knowing of the truth to the song, while still the young boy remained on his own when he finally got the block out of the water.
Ice has a magic, can't be controlled Born of cold and winter air
Stronger than one, stronger than ten
Stronger than a hundred men! Hyup!
And mountain rain combining
This icy force both foul and fair
Has a frozen heart worth mining
"Huh?" His grey eyes darted to the adults who seemed extremely close to finishing, oh no! He moved suddenly to try jamming the block onto his board like the others had with their carriers.
Cut through the heart, cold and clear
Strike for love and strike for fear
there's beauty and there's danger here
Split the ice apart
beware the frozen heart
Finally the carrier took off into the dark, only few lanterns lighting up in the darkness of the night. A grunt sounded and the block of ice finally sat on the board, tied on by the boy and jumping on Chopper, following the adults into darkness with a singular lantern hanging from his grasp.
*Back to Ezra etc.*
"Hurry!" The horses dashed through the forest, the grass beneath frosting over as they went. Up the front, Ezra curled in on herself, her hands growing a dark blue by the minute. Tears continued to billow in the corners of her eyes, looking up to an opening up ahead.
"Stop, please stop." Unknowing to her as they flew past, a young boy emerged from the side of the grass path, freezing at the sight of the iced ground, turning to his companion, pondering at it all.
"Ice?" The reindeer took forward, sending the poor child onto his back, ditching forward after the family. His smile grew and gripped the fur around Chopper's neck, urging him to move.
"Faster Chopper, faster!" if only they knew of the cause behind it all. Then a opening showed and they pulled away from the path to hide and watch.
"Someone help us, PLEASE" a man dressed in royal garments stood by several other adults, children nestled in their grasps and standing with them in fear. The boy's eyebrows furrowed in thought.
"The king, the royal family?" Chopper only shrugged as an answer. They leaned in closer.
"Shush! I'm trying to listen." A female troll popped up from between the two. Chopper smiled, licking her cheek. She grinned, pulling both close to her.
"Cuties, I'm gonna keep you." They all smiled at the promising thought.
*With Ezra*
The boulders started shake before jumping forward towards them all, Ezra could only whimper and continue to hide in her mother's gown, then they un-rolled, trolls taking their place as the whispers began.
"The king and queen?" Ezra's father stumbled for an answer then realising the danger for his second child and the other children too.
"P-please, our children – they need help!" He cried someone must have heard him as an older male troll appeared from the crowd; a role of importance came with him. Before a protest could happen he took Ezra's hand, seeing it darken continuously, more ice swirling around it.
"Tell me, born or cursed with the powers?" He moved quickly, pulling them closer to the middle. Ezra's father stumbled at the thought.
"B-born and getting stronger!" The fear for his children was too much, but tried his best to calm himself to move on. The troll only sighed but beckoned all to bring the children closer to him. His hands moved silently over the three, blue magic glowed under them.
"Hmm," his hands moved away, pulling a magical view of memories from all of them, each demonstrating Ezra's powers in each.
"You were lucky it was not the heart.The heart is not so easily changed, but the head can be persuaded." He warned to them all, the king stood firm in his decision from the events and spoke again.
"Do what you must." He nodded towards the trolls who followed through.
"I recommend we remove all magic, even memories of magic to be safe." His hands swiped through them all, turning the magic into simple outside in the winter, everyone in mind dressed for winter.
"But don't worry, I leave the fun." He muttered as he held the magic in his palms before brushing them back over the sleeping children, simple smiles taking the places of their previous frowns.
The singular strip of white remained in Sabine hair as beneath Caleb's eyelids, a gentle blue glowed and through his half-lidded eyelids, the colour now remained as a stormy blue. Hera hair took on the effects too as the very deep roots at the top of her head grew white and continued out for 3cm more. Ezra stared in horror, knowing that her powers, the powers she was meant to control had down this to them all.
Then Zeb was motioned forward and Ezra realised the same fate remained for him before his memories were changed and was caught by one of the adults as he fell into a deep sleep, though only a snowflake tattoo grew lightly on his chest as it glowed through his night shirt. Ezra looked to the troll for confirmation though she knew the truth.
"You were lucky it was not the heart.The heart is not so easily changed, but the head can be persuaded." The troll continued to speak just before Ezra asked the obvious statement left by him.
"They won't remember I have powers?" Glancing at her hands which now remained paused in the previous process of her fear.
"It's for the best. Listen to me, Ezra, your power will only grow. There is beauty in it," the troll took her hands into his, warmth flooding in, taking away the cold to show her smooth fair skin once again. But quickly as they had changed he let go, the magic reappearing from his palms again and flowing into the cold winter air. A feminine shape of a young woman took place in blue, snowflakes spiralling from her hands.
"But also great danger," the troll tried his best to console the frighten child but gave a heavy warning to all.
"You must learn to control it. Fear will be your enemy." Suddenly a snowflake turned into red spikes and the lone figure grew frighten as the spikes turn into human form which then attack the silhouette of the woman. Ezra jumps, crying in fear before her father draws in her into his arms, Sabine now nestled in her mother's grasp.
"No. We'll protect her. She can learn to control it. I'm sure. Until then, we'll lock the gates. We'll reduce the staff. We will limit her contact with people, and keep her powers hidden from everyone, including the children, including Sabine." Time moved forward, the king held to his promise as hundreds of people left the castle, the gates forever locking behind them all, the adults preparing to leave with now awoken and healed Caleb and Hera. But they dashed forward to see Ezra but found Sabine alone in her empty room, they all locked eyes as Zeb joined them, racing towards the hall.
Ezra stood alone by her door to her new bedroom, her eyes briefly locked with them all, fleeting smiles on their expressions but hers remained blank and her door shut with her behind it without a word.
Author's note
Heyyyyyyy guys, sorry I haven't updated lately but I haven't been writing lately, I lost the need to do anything really. But in the last two days I knocked out over half of this to get it up, most of you seem to want this one anyway. Oh uh heads up, I have tumblr! I'm called NightClass_
I haven't really posted anything original because I'm a nerd to a million other things. Uh, question, should I do this fanfic in multiple points of view or what? What do you think of this, is it good? Did I match frozen scenes and swr characters good enough, I am desperate for approval. This was a huge chapter but I hope you like it, I am half through ANF chapter 13 so I'll work on that and get it up and go back to this and so and so. That'll be the pattern but updates still slow. I'll tell you now I have so much planned for future fanfics, in ROTG and a lot of other ones. This will have a sequel besides the short film frozen did, it's called Winter Queen in Court – guess what it's about right now, and ANF will get a sequel for sure but no ideas for a title yet. Okay I'll shut up but please bear with me for the future.
Bye guys xx
p.s – I edited this to the best of my abilities I swear.
