The North Mountain barely had one village as the mountain was covered in a thick, endless layer of snow that prevented anything to grow, so the villagers domesticated yak and goats to survive the harshness of the snowy weather. On the surface, this seems fine and good, but they were often threatened by the snow goblins and orcs. The snow goblins and orcs were rarely ever seen by the humans of the village, and they wanted to keep it that way.

The villagers were desperate to keep their livestock protected, so they hired a young woman named Elsa. Elsa was very lovely with platinum-blonde hair that she tied into a thick bun at the back of her head, ice-blue eyes that seemed to turn anyone to ice just by looking into them, and snow-white skin that got lost in the common snow-storms. The young woman lived alone on the other side of the mountain with her younger sister and two birds, and only came to the main village when she was in desperate need of supplies or to defend the livestock from those creatures. How she defended against monsters that seemed to come from the darkest pits of Hell? Well, you'll find out.

Elsa sat on an intricate chair of blue ice while her falcon, Marshmallow, looked at the bleak surrounding, as slobbering growls and bloody cries filled the snowing mountain. Elsa got up from her seat, and Marshmallow began flapping his pale wings and began to tear at the orcs' face. Elsa squinted her eyes to see slobbering, white goblins with burning red eyes that crept into people's skin and caused them to have a heart attack - apart from Elsa - and the orcs were dark elves with scarred skin, gray skin and eyes, pupiless black eyes, and wore loincloth.

Elsa summoned shards of ice, blasted them at the creatures, and they turned to pure ice. The rest of the creatures shot vine-covered arrows at the pale-skinned woman, but her powers created a shield of ice around her and Marshmallow. She tore down the wall of ice and it flew at the heads of the creatures, and they crumbled to the ground as they turned to blue ice covered in flakey snowflakes. They tried to get closer to Elsa, but she controlled the surrounding the snow and created a mini avalanche that crushed the remaining orcs and goblins.

Elsa wiped her hands as falcon sat on her shoulder and waited for the sun to rise over the North Mountain. She petted one of the brown-furred yaks, as a man in a thick, fur-lined coat made of dark green wool and carrying a tiny brown pouch, as the sun drenched the mountain in gorgeous hues of orange and purple. "Well done, Ms. Arendelle," the man said, handing her the pouch that jingled during the transaction.

"Thank you, Mayor Butler," Elsa said, throwing her black poncho's hood off her platinum hair. Elsa smiled as she walked away with her payment for protecting the livestock of the village as the rumbling of the train's whistle as it pulled away from the mountain with crates of yak pelts. She sighed happily, as she ignored the comments about her being 'evil' and 'wicked witch', or something like that, just because she had powers over Winter. Did she care? Was she even afraid? A little. If people here called her a monster, what would others think of her if she did unleash her powers on anyone other than goblins and other creatures? Elsa looked away as Marshmallow flew ahead of her. She walked out of the village as the sun was still low in the sky as the hues began to dissolve, as she came across the bridge of ice that she created when they moved here from their parents' house in the village eight years ago when Anna was just a baby; their house was strange looking with a strange concoction of ice and wood with a circular design with an ornate bridge, because when they found it was an abandoned shack with a ruined wooden bridge as the only way to get to the shack, but they chose this place because of where it was. The house was next to an orchard of snowberries that grew on frozen vines, and waterfall that was ice in mid-rush.

Elsa walked across the bridge as she heard the door slam close, and she looked up at the house to see her little, eight-year-old sister. Anna was her like her sister in facial features, but she had orange hair that was tied into two braids, peach skin, and wore a white blouse, green corset with pink lacing, and a long, rosemaled green skirt in contrast to her sister's long teal dress with black lining and her black poncho. "Elsa, you're back!" Anna cried as a white owl came flapping towards the house and perching itself on an ice windowsill, running towards her sister who had been pulling on some white gloves.

Elsa looked on with concern as Anna squeezed her tightly. "Anna, why aren't you wearing a cloak? You're probably freezing right now, and I didn't make you it, so you would freeze to death," Elsa said, and Anna blushed shyly as Elsa took her hand in her own and they headed for the door. They lived in a one room house that was covered with ice, two wooden beds that were covered with furs, a table of sculpted ice with a tablecloth of woven snow, and a rock fireplace where a bubbling cauldron was hovered over a flint-made fire, which was safe for the house because Elsa's ice was invincible to all forms of heat.

Anna ran to the fireplace and began to stir the broth in the cauldron. Elsa walked over to the table where a glass jar filled with silver coins called walts and was almost to the top, and she placed more tablets into the jar; specifically, six tablets which were each worth one. Elsa looked over her little sister who was pouring broth into two bowls, placing them on the table, then running back, and pouring some creamy goat milk into two blue cups. The owl landed was still perched on the windowsill where some snowberry seeds were laid out for him as Marshmallow flew out the window to hunt. "Anna, do you want some help?"

She looked over at her sister, and shook her head. "You work so hard at night, so I should at least do the housework," Anna said, taking a seat on the floor like Elsa. The elder sister sighed as she took a few drinks of her milk, and took a few sips of her broth. "Do you like it?"

Elsa looked up and carefully placed the bowl on the table and smiled. "I love it, princess," she truthfully said, taking another sip of her food. Anna smiled, as she took a large gulp of her soup, and Elsa asked, "So, princess. How was your night?"

Anna looked up at her big sister with her blue eyes that were filled with wonder, "It was incredible! Olaf told me a hilarious joke, and I was able to go ice skating," she said motioning towards the ice covered floor. Elsa noticing where she was looking saw sleek marks from a blade of some sort, and she gave her an unamused expression. "You can fix that, right?"

"ANNA!" Elsa scolded, causing Anna to be in a state of shock. "You know you're not supposed to go ice skating when I'm not here!" Elsa continued, tapping her boot as the floor achieved a brand new coating of ice. "Think about what could've happened if you had fallen on your head and no one was here to help you."

Anna looked away as tears start to be produced from her crystal-blue eyes, "I'm sorry, Elsa. I know it was wrong and…"

Elsa, seeing her little sister cry. she saw she went too far. "I'm sorry, Anna. I shouldn't have yelled at you," Elsa apologized. She got up from the part of the floor she was sitting on and hugged her little sister. "You know I hate yelling at you, so just promise me you'll be a good girl and not do that again," she said, and let go of her sister and stuck out her pinky. "Pinky promise."

Anna wiped away her tears and said, "Pinky promise." Elsa smiled at her little sister, before grabbing the jar of walts.

"Hey, Anna. It seems we only need a few more walts, before we can move to Magic Kingdom," Elsa said, excitingly and Anna perked up. Elsa and Anna had dreamed of the Summer Lands that were at the base of the North Mountain, and covered in lush fields, valleys of vegetables, orchards of heavy fruit trees, and sun's warm breezes where the capital of Disney was located. Elsa whistled, and Olaf flew onto the table with a little note in his claws. Elsa took the note, saw it had a little purple crest near the corner, and quickly read it.

My dear cousins, I hope everything's okay with you too.

I hope you'll be able to make enough walts to come see

me at my wedding. The wedding will be on the eve of

the New Year. I really hope you can make it. I even

picked out dresses you'll love. I'll see you then.

Your Loving Cousin,

Rapunzel

Elsa looked over at her sister and gave her large grin. "Guess what, sis? Punzie's getting married."

Anna looked up excitedly, and said, "Who is she getting wed to?" Elsa looked over the letter, but it never said who she would marry. Elsa looked up at her sister and shrugged. "I guess we'll find out when we go."

Elsa nodded, and looked over at the shelves filled with father's books when a thought came to her. "I think it's about time for us to practice your writing," Elsa said, then took down a tiny, thick book with brown leather. She placed it on front of her sister, then grabbed a spare journal mother had but never wrote in and the pencil that went with it. Elsa flipped through the pages of the journal to see it covered with drawings beside writing, and she sighed. Elsa handed it to her sister and instructed her to copy page two-hundred and three, and then they can play with the elder sister's powers.

While her sister worked hard on her page, Elsa fell onto her fur-covered bed and fell fast asleep from her hard-work last night. "Elsa. Elsa. Elsa!" Anna cried into her older sister's ear as the bright orange, yellow, and purple reflected off the ice floors from the sunset. Elsa looked over to see her sister holding her journal with a journal of words. Elsa wiped her eyes, and groggily grabbed the notebook and looked down the entire page. She saw that it was the same exact as the words in the book and pulled herself off the bed and summoned a flurry of snowflakes. "THIS IS AMAZING!" Anna cried, as the room filled with snow storms. It was beautiful as they skated around the room and all around the room. Elsa let Anna play around before sitting down with a piece of paper and a quill made of a feather from Marshmallow.

My good cousin, I am pleased to tell you

that we might be able to attend your

wedding for we are nearly able to buy

a train ticket for the two of us.

We hope we are able to be there

by the Eve of New Year's.

Your Dear Cousins

Elsa and Anna Arendelle

Elsa rolled the note then tied with a string of ice with a snowflake decoration and handed it to Olaf. She whistled a piercing tune and Olaf flew away for their cousin. Elsa looked out the window to see it was nighttime outside and then looked over to her little sister who was busy making a snow angel. "Anna, time for bed!" Elsa called. Anna groaned as the older one grabbed a brush of wood and began brushing Anna's unbraided hair, as the usual winter storm grew heavy outside, blocking out the golden sun in the distance. After, Anna and Elsa pulled off her over dress and Anna crawled into her bed while Elsa sat on her bed reading a book, until her sister asked, "Elsa?"

Elsa, without looking up, said, "Yes, Anna."

"Could you sing for me?" Anna asked. Elsa looked over and nodded. She breathed in and remembered the lullaby her mother sang for her as a child.

So ro liten tull

Gid vi hadde stua full

Ut av slike små unger.

Stua og koven

Løa og låven

Og en liten haug utpå gården.

Elsa looked over at her little sister who was fast asleep upon on her furs that served as a blanket for the two girls. She walked over to her sister, and took one of Anna's pelts over and put it over her sister sleeping figure. She walked over to her own bed and pulled her blanket over herself and fell fast asleep, as time ticked by for soon it will be midnight which is when she will need to get working.

(*)

Anna blinked awake as the storm still raged outside, and saw her sister, already dressed, packing a pouch of snowberries and was out the door. Anna sighed sadly, then stretched herself out. "Better start on my chores," she said to herself and walked over to the fireplace and began lighting some flint. She grabbed some boiled water from the shelf, poured it into the cauldron, and began stirring it with her spoon. Then, Anna grabbed a some yak meat that had been in locked in a case of ice and dumped the meat and ice in the cauldron as she recalled being two years old and watching her fifteen year old sister work hard every day. Back then, Elsa had to do everything around the house from providing for her and Anna to sewing the clothes, while Anna could only help out ever so slightly. The years passed since then and Anna started to feel like less of a burden to her sister, but still felt horrible for making her sister work so hard every night.

These thoughts haunted her when she noticed, Olaf perched himself on the sill and Anna quickened towards the snowberries and plucked out the seed, then laid them out for Olaf. She then hurried back to work on Elsa and her's lunch, and ate the snowberries as breakfast. The day passed as it usually did with Anna running around sewing, keeping the fire lit, stirring the broth, and drawing pictures in her notebook when she was bored. Olaf flew onto Anna's shoulder and said, "Who?" as if motioning to the funny looking snowman she was drawing in her journal that belonged to their mother.

"That's the first snowman, Elsa and I made when I was three. His name is Olaf, too," Anna answered, before seeing a note in his claws with purple sun on it and two packages on his back. Should I? Anna thought hesitant, before realizing she only promised not to skate around the room and took the tiny scroll from the white owl. The letter was from their cousin and she read:

That's great, guys! Here are some clothes

that won't fry you down here. I'll show you

those outfits I promised in my last note.

And if you need them here's a few more

walts.

-Rapunzel

Anna was a little confused until five tablets rolled onto the ice floor. Without hesitation, she picked up the walts, cleaned them on her pink apron, and poured them into the glass jar. Silently, she thanked her family, but left the packages on the as she continued with tending the fire and food. Anna thought about what it would be like to live in the Summer Lands, and to feel the warm breeze on her toes and sound of rushing waters to fall asleep to in comparison to the coldness of the mountains and the sounds of a blizzard every night.

Hours passed, and Anna was finally finished with dinner when Elsa burst into the house followed by Marshmallow on her shoulder, and a pouch of walts in her hand. Elsa quickly opened the sack and let the walts flow into the container. "Good day, Elsa?" Anna said, smiling, because she already knew the answer as she poured some of the broth in the bowls.

"BETTER THAN OKAY!" Elsa cried, before settling down on the floor, and seeing the packages. "Where did you get these, Anna?"

Anna walked over with the bowls and placed one in front of her sister then sat down with hers, and excitedly said, "Those are packages Punzie sent us. She said it would be good for us when we arrive at her village."

Elsa smiled back and handed Anna the package with her name on it. The package was wrapped in pink tissue and was folded to be only fourth its actual size, but Anna tore open the tied tissue to reveal a beautiful gown with a light-green skirt, a black bodice and bow, dark green shirt with puffy sleeves, olive stockings, and flat, black shoes. Anna twirled around with the dress and looked happily at her sister and asked, "How do you think I'll look in it?"

"Beautiful as always," Elsa answered tapping her fingers on her own package. Then in her motherly tone said to her, "Remember to thank Rapunzel. She probably used a lot of walts to get us these."

Anna snatched the package from under her sister's hand and said, "I know, Elsa, I will." And the she shoved the package into Elsa's arms and ordered in a playful voice, "Now open yours." The elder smiled and pulled out of the violet tissue a three piece outfit. The two piece outfit consisted of a long dress that was light-blue that had a boxy neckline and a belt of light blue-and-white, an apron with a blue- and-white design, and a plain white shirt that went under the dress. "It's so pretty, Elsa!" Anna laughed, as Elsa held the long blue gown up for her to see it in full.

"Thanks, Anna," Elsa said, picking the garments up and gently laid them on her bed, and then walked over to the jar of walts. "You stay here, Anna. I'm going to the ticket booth to get our tickets."

Anna looked over at the blizzard outside, and asked her sister, "Will we be able to move to the Summer Lands like you promised?"

Elsa stopped in her tracks at the doorway, and said, "We'll see, princess. We'll see," and with that the elder sister was gone out the door.

Elsa walked through the snow, as the winds tugged at her teal and black dress as the storm seemed to get worse and worse. Elsa sighed and flicked her wrist and the blizzard seemed to stop in time, which made it easier to trudge through the pale snow. Much better, she thought as she walked along the side of the mountain where the village was, and the train station. She looked over at the ticket booth, that was next to the train station, where some were yearning to leave the North Mountain and the train being the only way to leave the endless snowy mountain.

Nobody ever comes here by choice; either hardship or just being born here has something to do with it, but one thing's for sure, people just want to get away from the winter. Elsa knew this and didn't want fighting off the chill and cold for her sister, so she knew what she'll do in the Summer Lands. Hopefully, they have jobs for sorceresses. Elsa walked over to the booth and dumped the entire jar of walts out in front of the brown haired man.

He quickly counted all the walts and pulled them into a large brown bag, heavy with walts. " For this amount of walts I can give you two tickets in the cargo train. But, I can be persuaded to up you to second class," he said, then wiggling his eyebrows and winking at Elsa, who was trying to resist the urge to turn him to an ice statue then and there.

"The cargo sounds fine," Elsa angrily said, turning her ball into a fist. The man rolled his eyes and handed her two cargo tickets and she walked away, her face red with anger. UGGGHH...MEN!

Author's Note: Hey, everybody. So as you probably know The Freezing Heart is gone, and I don't know if you should re-post it or post it on and yes I do use a Norwegian lullaby in this, but it's not copyrighted. Anyway, I hope you like this fanfiction and tell me your thoughts on what I should do about the Freezing Heart.
