Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, welcome to the premiere of:
"Arendelle"!
(The audience, The Paul Family, and the cast of Frozen, cheer in the background.)
Not much to say here, folks. But I would likely want this story to be a HUGE hit!
Now, HERE WE GO!
P.S. Since this story is inspired by "What About Now?" by Daughtry, you can listen to the song at any time during the story.
(UPDATE [1/31/17]: I reconstructed the beginning of this chapter, just to make things look better.)
Arendelle
Prologue
Date: July 15, 2021 (Reality Time)
Location: Arendelle (of course)
Jarek's POV
It's almost here.
The is the day that everyone has been waiting for:
Coronation Day.
The servants, the guards, Anna,... even the citizens are happy that this day has finally arrived.
Why is everyone excited, you may ask?
Because, there's going to be one thing that hasn't been opened for over 10 years:
The Gates.
You may be wondering how the soon-to-be Queen is doing.
She is in her room, as always, but she sounds different than any other day. She's... a bit nervous, as most people would say.
But I know she can do this, because I believe in her.
Now, you may have been asking this since I first talked about... well, all of this. Who am I? Why am I here?
Well, my name is Jarek Paul.
And I am here to tell you a story.
A story about the origins of my life here. The origins of my life in this isolated kingdom:
Arendelle.
You may have seen the movie.
I didn't.
But you have never seen this before.
.
.
.
I didn't came in at the time, but you all know what happen that night.
The question:
Do you wanna build a snowman?
The magic:
This is amazing!
Watch this!
The fun and love:
Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs.
I love you, Olaf!
Everything.
.
.
.
But you most certainly know...
Anna!
...the incident.
Mama! Papa!
.
.
.
And that's how it's starts.
You know the rest.
But where have I come from?
Well, it all started in the middle of the sea.
Chapter 1: Welcome
Seven and a half years before Coronation Day...
Five years after The Incident...
Date: January 5, 2014 (Reality Time)
Normal POV
It was a cool day for the fishermen of Arendelle to catch some grub.
The fishermen usually bring the fish into the castle, where they were cooked.
But it doesn't happen that often.
Since the gates closed, there was a limited amount of time for the guards, with the King's permission, to let people in.
But, this happens when there's an emergency of some type, or when there's a ball; which is not that often.
Anyway, today there was only one boat out to catch those sea critters.
So far, they hadn't caught any. Because, sometimes when your out on sea, a thick fog comes in and steals your sight of it. And today was a perfect day for a fog to come in.
So, with the fog rolling in, the fishermen had to delay their catching.
All of the crew, except one, was inside sleeping.
The one outside, who wasn't tired, was leaning on the deck. Mainly, he was waiting for the fog to clear up, but it looks like that's not happening.
Thud
The fisherman heard something from the side of the boat.
What was that?, he thought.
He looked down.
His eyes went wide.
"Oh my god," he said.
He saw a body of a boy, floating on its stomach.
Without a moment later, he sound the alarm.
The rest of the crew quickly got out of their beds and raced up the deck.
The fisherman told the rest of the crew of what he saw. They use the fishing net to bring the body out of the water and gently laid him on his back.
The crew gathered around him.
"Who is this person?", said one of the crew.
"What do you mean?", said a second member.
"Well, look at him. This guy is not from here.", the first member asked again.
"I know he's not from here, idiot. But your still right about his looks," a third member said.
"Never seen anything like him here, before," a fourth member said.
"Okay lads, lets not get too hazy about this.", said the captain, as he walked towards his crew. "What do we got here?"
"A dead body, sir.", said a fifth member.
"Do you even think he's dead?", the captain replied.
"Uhh..."
Suddenly, the boy coughed out water. He lean his head at his side, as water spilled out. But it wasn't enough for him to break out of his unconsciousness.
"Well, there's your answer," the captain replied.
"What should we do with him?", a sixth member asked.
"Lets sail back to Arendelle and report this to the king," the captain answered, as he grabbed his scope and raised at his right left eye. Inside the scope, he could, visibly enough, see the isolated kingdom; not too far away. "We got a lot of explaining to do."
It wasn't that long, after they found the boy, for the fishermen to sail back to Arendelle.
Even with the gates closed, the kingdom was still on its feet.
But still with the unconscious boy they had, this meant it was an emergency.
The gates had to be open.
The fisherman ran out, onto the railing, and into the docks.
The captain and some of his crew were carrying the boy towards the castle.
"Do you think he'll make it, captain?", a member of his crew asked him.
"I don't know. If this boy was out there for who knows how long, he's going to be very lucky to survive.", the captain replied.
A few minutes later, the crew made it to the gates.
Two guards stopped him. "State your reason, sir.", said one of the guards.
"This is our reason." The captain showed the unconscious boy. The guards were surprised. "He's not dead. He's still alive, but he needs medical treatment, immediately."
The guards stood for a moment, until one of them said to the other, "Tell Kai about this situation."
The second guard nodded and went inside to tell Kai.
.
.
.
.
"C'mon, we don't got all day!" the captain irritably shouted.
"Be patient, sir. My partner will return, shortly," the guard calmly stated.
.
.
.
.
After several minutes, the second guard came back outside and gave a quick nod to the first guard.
"Open the gates!", the first guard yelled at the other guards on the other side.
As told, the two guards open the gates.
Servants and maids nearby came rushing in and took the boy.
The captain caught a last glimpse of the boy, as the gates slowly closed again.
"Do you think he'll thank us, sir?", the same member asked the captain again.
"If he survives,.. I think so.", the captain replied.
"I'm scared! It's getting stronger!"
"Getting upset will only make it worse. Calm down."
"No! Don't touch me! Please, I don't want to hurt you.", said a 13 year old Princess Elsa.
Since the incident, Elsa has been trying to control her powers. Mostly, she uses her papa's advice and the quote he usually says to her: Conceal. Don't feel. Don't let it show. But sadly, it barely works.
For 5 years the King and Queen of Arendelle have been trying their best to help their daughter. Still, it wasn't enough for Elsa.
The Queen places her hand on her husband's shoulder, while looking at their young daughter; sadly.
If only there was some way for their daughter to control her powers.
Suddenly, Kai knocks on Elsa's door. "Your Majesties, we have a problem.", Kai said.
"What is it, Kai?", the King said.
"We have a boy who is in the medical center and there's something about him."
"Like what?"
"I don't know. He's being treated as we speak, but I think you should still see him."
"Ok, we'll be right there.", the king replied.
As for that, Kai left.
The King sighed and looked at her daughter. "Elsa, after were done with this, I would like to speak with you."
Elsa was silent for a moment, until she respond, "Okay, papa."
As for that, the King and Queen left.
After they left, Elsa sited down on her icy corner, closed her face with her legs, and silently weeped.
The boy was up, by now.
Towels were wrapped around his wet clothes.
As in many stories, people like him would be curious of where they are.
But this boy wasn't curious. He was sad.
He heard footsteps. He looked up and saw a nurse coming in.
"The King and Queen would like to see you.", she said.
The boy said in a whisper, loud enough for the nurse to hear, "Okay."
The nurse walked out.
Moments later, the King and Queen walked in.
They stopped, for a moment. They were both a little surprised.
The boy notice them in that stance. "What?", he whispered loud enough for them to hear.
The royals shook their heads and blinked a few times.
The king cleared his throat. "Hello there. I am King Adgar of Arendelle and this is Queen Idun of Arendelle."
The boy's eyes wide a little, without the King and Queen noticing.
I'm in Arendelle?, he thought.
He shook out his thoughts. In reply, he simply said, "Hello."
The King walked next to the boy's bed and kneeled down. King Adgar was a bit curious. He'd never seen a human like this before.
"I'd never seen anyone like you, before. Who are you and where did you come from?", the king asked.
Before the boy could answer, the door creaks open.
The King, the Queen, and the boy looked at the door.
There, they saw none other than a 10 year old Princess Anna coming in. "Am.. I missing something?"
Before Adgar could tell his daughter to leave, Idun placed a hand on his shoulder. "She could stay."
"Jarek."
The King, the Queen, and Anna looked at the boy; who answered.
The boy looked up at the royals.
"My name's Jarek Paul."
To start a new day.
So what do you think, guys and gals. Was it good?
(The crowd cheered.)
Well, don't worry everyone. Because were just getting started. See you next time in Arendelle!
