Warning: This story contains some spoilers for the movie FROZEN. If you haven't seen it yet, don't read! I'd hate to ruin the surprise!
That being said, welcome Frozen readers!
It has come to pass that I've developed a stupid obsession for Hans. That's right. The heartless jerk! Go figure.
Anyway, this idea latched onto my brain and would not let go so I'm afraid the only way to expel it is to write it all out! Lucky for you guys! Mwaa ha ha!
All I can say is I hope I'm not the only sap out there who feels like Hans deserves a bit of sympathy since his horrible childhood kind of had a lot to do with the wounded man he is today. This story will touch on bits and pieces from Hans' past, introduce you to his brothers and the family dynamic, as well as bring in a true love interest for Prince Hans!
Disclaimer: I own nothing and am merely giving my particular portrayal of the twelve brothers as well as coming up with a story plot!
Hope you guys enjoy :)
Tales From the Southern Isles
Prologue
...
Seven days.
That's how long Prince Hans of the Southern Isles had been held prisoner upon his own royal vessel, guarded like a common criminal within its dark, damp, and putrid smelling jail cell.
The steady creaking of the floor boards and the bellow of ocean waves beating against the ship's underbelly had become a rhythmic melody to Hans' ears, offering the only lulling comfort available during his time in solitary confinement. With each random lurch or gut wrenching dip, Hans cursed himself, cursed his situation and most of all, his twelve older brothers.
They were the ones who had driven him to this madness.
Never in his life had Hans thought he would go through such great lengths in order to secure a throne of his own. Growing up with the promise of having everything he could ever ask for, only to watch his dreams be viciously trampled upon again and again by his cold-hearted siblings had done nothing to nurture a sense of belonging and gratitude inside Hans' heart.
He saw now that his obsession with the idea of having his chance to rule as king over a people who would both love and respect him had been a dream which started from a very young age. From the moment of his birth, Hans had been perfectly aware that his presence within the family was unwanted. No one had cared about him and therefore no one had taken time to pay him the attention and the affection he had so desperately craved as a young lad.
An unshakeable sense of desperation to prove himself as someone worth while had taken route in his core and eaten away until nothing but his thirst for power and rulership remained. It had infected his mind like a poison, corrupting each and every part of his life until it forced him to the edge of his sanity. The result?
Hans had attempted to murder the Queen of Arendelle and steal her throne for himself.
Such actions deserved severe consequences and Hans could hardly begin to imagine what kind of frightful reaction would be evoked from his brothers. By now they would have already received a letter from Arendelle with the news of their youngest sibling's devilish deeds. If one thing was for certain, it was that after he returned, Hans' life would never be the same. This was a fact which he was still struggling to come to terms with. It no longer mattered if he was born of royalty. Once this ship reached shore, he would be forever labeled a dangerous psychopath, becoming an instant outcast in the eyes of his people and all generations to follow...
