A middle-aged lady wearing a pale-blue dress glided along the frozen lake. Her icy-blue eyes held a faraway look of sorrow and misery. She closed them, then opened them once more. Her eyes were of the colour blue. A pale blue aura surrounded her body. She spoke in a wispy voice:
The child of Elyon Khione will rise
Bring her to the north, her power will shine
Before the Winter Solstice, she must embrace her fate
To eternal winter, the world shall raze.
Her eyes returned to normal, as ice rose from her feet and wrapped around her body. She serenely closed her eyes, and the ever-growing block of ice caged her in.
~O~
Anna woke with beads of sweat on her face. Her body felt slightly sore. Then she remembered the events of last night: she and her fiancé, Kristoff Bjorgman, had first made love the night before. A thin blanket covered the two. Kristoff was only covered waist-down, revealing his muscular upper-body. Sunshine peeked inside the room, as Anna slowly stretched out.
She walked towards her dresser, as she picked up a brush and brushed it through her frazzled hair. Anna had naturally had terrible bed hair every morning, but today it was worse than ever. Anna took a towel and freshened up in the bathroom, like what she does every morning.
Anna walked out of the bathroom, a drying cloth wrapped around her body. She pulled her everyday dress, as she heard groans and soft ruffling of blankets. She turned around to see Kristoff, trying to sit upright. Anna smiled serenely. "Good morning, reindeer king."
Kristoff looked dazed. His dirty blonde hair, usually kept neat, was ruffled in a very messy way. He looked at Anna, with a confused look on his face. "Did we…" he started.
"Yeah, we did." Anna said, a slight blush filling her cheeks. She walked over to him and kissed his cheeks.
She smoothed out her dress then headed for the door. "I'll see you at the dining hall, Kristoff." Anna stepped out and walked towards the dining hall.
Elsa was sitting on her usual chair at the end of the table, sipping tea and looking over papers. "Good morning, Anna." Elsa said, her eyes not tearing away from the paper she was reading.
Anna suddenly thought back to her dream last night. Unlike most dreams she's had, this was the one she did not forget right away. Elyon Khione-She's heard that name before in her father's tales. Anna started to wonder if those stories bore truth.
'It's probably just another freakish dream,' Anna thought. 'This is nothing compared to the dream I had last week.'
Elsa seemed to sense Anna's uncommon state of mind. Anna usually acted like someone with ADHD. (In which, she seemed to have a slight case of) Elsa spoke up. "Anna, has anything happened?"
"Um, what? Oh, no, I'm fine." Anna stuttered. "It's just that-" Anna stopped in mid-sentence.
"It's just what?"
Anna took a deep breath. "I had a dream last night."
She explained how about the frozen lake, the weird lady, the sort-of-prophetic lines she said, and how snow and blizzards would raze the world. Elsa looked bothered, but shook it off. "Anna, this seemed much too normal. You've had weirder dreams than this."
"I know, but, this just really bothers me. This isn't like the one where in Olaf's nose impaled him from his bottom. This isn't like the one when the trolls made Sven younger with their magic!" Anna almost screamed.
"Anna, calm down." Elsa said sternly. "Listen, I am slightlybothered by this. I remember hearing something similar in Father's tales. But for now, hush." Anna eyed her sister, then took a seat near Elsa's chair. Moments later, Kristoff came in dressed in his usual dark blue shirt and black everyday pants. He slightly flushed as he saw Elsa, but greeted her good morning.
~O~
Elsa's hand trembled as she signed trading papers. Anna's dream bothered her a lot. The winter solstice was her birthday, which was about 15 days from present time. She was turning 23-not odd at all. A lot of people turn 23. Her power was also most powerful also at the north, but it overwhelmed her when she travelled there. Eternal winter? She's caused that approximately 2 years ago. No problem concerning her powers had occurred during that time. The idea of a second eternal winter baffled the Queen.
She put down her pen and thought about the time when she was locked inside her room, spending every waking moment trying to control her magical abilities. One time, when she was about 14, putting on a set of brand-new gloves while sitting on her bed, she overheard a few statements while her mother and father discussed something in hushed tones.
"Elyon came to me in my dreams," King Agdar said to Queen Idunn. "She said I shall pay and terrible price for deserting her."
"It wasn't your fault, Agdar." Stated Idunn. "She was frozen in a block of ice in the north. What were you supposed to do? Wait for her to melt and come to you? You were a prince, Agdar. You were supposed to marry."
"I suppose so, Idunn." He said in a sorrowful tone. "But what about her certain vengeance? Elyon is the witch of snow and ice, her family is composed of the greatest wizards and witches that were stated to be legends. Nothing can stand in her way of getting was she wants, especially with all the connections she has."
"Do not think too much about it. Elyon Khione is anything but a true lover. If she was, she would learn to let you go."
"There is more, Idunn. She is now the Queen of the Meridian. Her sister possesses the crown of light. Also, her book of prophecies has made one of Elsa, in which something will happen once she turns 23."
"As I said, do not think about much anymore, Agdar!" Idunn said sternly.
Elsa did not understand much, but she did know one thing: She had to learn more of this prophecy about her. She knew where to consult it: The Temple of Aaliyah Zyana in the enchanted forest.
So I hoped you enjoyed this first chapter. I know it's short, not that detailed, but I hope you got the main plot. Please feel free to ask questions and leave a review. -Mokuyumi
