Sisters of Arendelle:
The Greatest Power
Prologue
The king of Arendelle and the king of Zalaria were deep in discussions regarding trade between their kingdoms. Or rather, that's what their wives believed as they sat together on a bench near the beach, chatting and watching their children play together. 3 year old princess Anna of Arendelle was taking an unplanned nap in the grass beside her mother, while young prince Victor of Zalaria and princess Elsa of Arendelle worked together on a sandcastle. Elsa and Victor were the same age. And thanks to the numerous trade meetings between their two kingdoms, had formed a strong friendship.
"It's perfect!" Victor chimed happily to Elsa. "A castle fit for a queen."
Elsa cocked her head to one side, studying the sculpture. "It's just missing one thing." She commented.
Victor gave her a confused look as she dug a trench around the sandcastle, then passed her hand over the trench, and Victor's expression went from confusion to pleasant surprise as Elsa used her magic to fill the trench with ice.
"There." She smiled. "Every castle has a moat around it. To keep out bad guys."
Victor smiled in return. "Wow. I never would have thought of that, Icy. How'd you get so smart?"
"Papa says I'll be queen someday, Vikee. And that's something a queen is supposed to know. I don't know why though. I don't think I'm ever gonna build a castle."
Victor giggled. "You're so lucky, Icy. I wish I could be you sometimes."
Elsa gave him a puzzled look. "Why would you wish that?"
"Because!" he replied. "I won't ever be a king. I have 2 big brothers and 3 big sisters who will all get to rule before me. They would all have to die first. And I don't want that."
"Gosh, no!" Elsa commented.
"Plus," Victor continued, "You have ice magic. I'm just….normal. It must be really neat to have powers like that."
Elsa's head dropped. "Not always."
Victor was puzzled. "What do you mean, Icy? What could be so bad about being magic?"
"Not everyone thinks it's good." She replied. "Mostly people are afraid of me because of my powers. Some have even called me a monster. That's why I don't use them a lot. I don't want to scare everyone away."
Victor took Elsa's hand and smiled. "Well, you don't scare me." Elsa smiled in return.
Then Victor stood. "Come on! Let's go down the beach and see how many gulls we can scare off!"
"Cool!" Elsa replied. Then Victor stopped and hung his head.
"You had to say 'Cool', didn't you Icy."
Elsa laughed out loud, then started running down the beach with Victor close behind.
Back on the bench, their mothers watched them run off. They were happy that Elsa and Victor got along so well. Being royalty made it difficult to form lasting friendships, especially for children. So these 'trade meetings', whether in Arendelle or Zalaria, were perfect opportunities for the children to just be children. And they both hoped that the friendship between Elsa and Victor would be strong enough to endure the trials of royalty.
Only time would tell.
