Elsa was standing on her bedroom balcony. It was late at night, but she couldn't sleep. She slowly made her way the castle library, she spent most of her sleepless nights there. Alone, she walked the large book-filled room. She read the titles of different things: books, stories, lots of things. But one thing that she had never noticed caught her eye. When she turned around she found a small pile of papers on a table. Elsa slowly made her way to the table to see what the document was. What she found would change her life forever.
The royal family has just had two children, a boy and a girl. They named the princes Elsa, and the prince Eric. Soon after their birth a witch came. She cursed the children with the powers of ice. Only love can melt a frozen heart. While the royal family tried to make the best of the new happening, Eric was terrified. As he grew older, Eric became more and more distant. He was afraid to be near anyone, even his own parents. Soon, he ran to the north, in fear of his powers, never to be heard of again.
Elsa put the manuscript down. "A…brother, I have a brother?" Elsa slipped into a chair and put her head in her hands. She cried.
Anna came looking for her sister in the morning. "Elsa? Elsa, where are you?"
Anna entered the library and found Elsa, still wet from her tears. Elsa didn't say a word, all she did was hand Anna the papers. "Elsa, mother and father, they never told us? Did you know?"
"No, it was so long ago. We have a brother, Anna, somewhere out there, a brother!"
"Well, it says he went up north. Maybe, we could find him."
They both decided to leave that day. Bags were packed, horses were prepared, and travel clothes were brought to the two princesses.
"I leave Kristof in charge while we're gone," Elsa declared.
"Can I come?" Olaf asked.
"Not this time. We need you here," Anna told the snowman.
The two princesses set off at noon, they went north. They made it halfway to the mountains by nightfall. Elsa and Anna agreed to camp there for the night. Anna made the fire, while Elsa got food out.
"So, how far do you think we'll have to travel?" Anna mused.
"I don't know. The manuscript never said anything about how far he went," Elsa answered.
"So, it said that his name is 'Eric'. Does that bring back any memories?"
"No," Elsa said.
"Why didn't mother and father ever tell us, though?"
"I don't know. You get some sleep, I'll take watch."
Anna slept, Elsa soon slipped into a deep, dreamless sleep after her sister. Neither of them heard the rustle just a little ways off. Nor did they know of the pains they would soon find.
