This is an Elsaxoc story. This will be about Jason, the last knight of Arendelle, and also known as the Wolf Knight. He has been believed to be dead for the past five years, having been on the ship that King Agdar and Queen Iduna were on when they died, so this takes place two years after the events of Frozen.
I own none of the Disney characters or anything else, except my original characters.
It was like any normal day for the Queen of Arendelle, piles upon piles of paperwork to be done, endless boring council meetings, and never-ending meetings with foreign dignitaries. But two things made it all worth it, the happiness of her kingdom and her sister, Princess Anna.
Now Christmas was coming up in a few weeks, and things were beginning to die down because the diplomats were staying in their own countries, getting ready for their own celebrations of the joyous holiday. But for Arendelle, Christmas was now an extra special time of the year, because of the wondrous things that the Snow Queen would make for the celebration.
Elsa, however still had to deal with the council on one particular matter, finding a suitor.
She had just gotten out of such a meeting when she encountered her beloved sister with her four month old daughter, Maura, walking towards her.
"Hello Anna," she greeted. "And hello to you too Maura."
"Hey Elsa," she greeted back then she noticed something as she handed her daughter to Elsa, who was more than happy to hold her niece. "Meeting didn't go well I'm guessing?"
"They still want me to find a suitor."
"That is completely unfair for them to do! Why must they always demand this of you?"
"They're not demanding, they're advising me. They just want what they think is best for the kingdom."
"Tell me you aren't going to go and try to get married right away?," she asked as they began to walk through the castle halls.
"After seeing you do that, no way," she jokingly answered, frustrating her baby sister. "Besides I'll only marry for love."
"That's what I like to hear," Anna said. "Now we better get ready as you have to announce to the people the beginning of the Christmas celebration.
"We do indeed," she agreed.
Arendelle Docks
Kristoff was out on a walk with his best friend, Sven, who was also a reindeer, when they noticed a brig coming into the docks.
"Wonder what that's doing here, Sven," he said and the reindeer nodded. "Let's go check it out."
They soon reached the docks and found the harbor master.
"Oh! Prince Kristoff!," he exclaimed, not expecting royalty to be visiting, but the blonde, bulky man frowned a little at being called prince.
"Please, it's just Kristoff," he said. "I'm just curious as to why a ship is here. There usually isn't any coming in during this time of year."
"I've already spoken to the captain. Said he came from Corona and was just dropping off someone."
"Who?," Kristoff asked, but then Sven saw something that made him go ballistic, and ran off.
"Sven! Where are you going?!"
Then he found him on top of a man, licking him happily.
"Sven come on! Get off! Leave the man alone!," he yelled getting the reindeer off of the man and helping him up. He was a few inches shorter than Kristoff and a little bit thinner, but just as well-defined and muscular as he was. He wore a black over coat, (like Connor's robes almost from Assassin's Creed III), that stretched down to halfway down his calves, as well as having a hood to cover his face. He also carried two unique dual swords as well, (think of a Viking sword sized Witcher silver sword with all of the wolf detailing on it).
"Sorry about that sir," Kristoff said. "I don't know what got into him."
"It's quite alright Kristoff," he said and the Prince-Consort of Arendelle's eyes widened at the sound of the man's voice, and then the man removed his hood and his suspicions were confirmed. "He was probably just happy to see an old friend."
The man had a fair complexion, had long black hair that hung off of his shoulders, and also had a long beard. But the most distinguishing feature of his face were his eyes, blue and striking, like a wolf's, eyes that could stare into your very soul.
Not wasting anytime, Kristoff immediately gave the man a bear hug.
"Jason! I can't believe it!," he yelled then putting him down. "I thought you were dead!"
"Nope, just stranded," he answered. "And did the harbor master just call you 'prince?'"
"Ha...uh yeah about that...," he said then beginning to explain what had transpired on the day of Queen Elsa's coronation. How he had met Anna and how they fell in love during they're adventure. About the Eternal Winter and then the Great Thaw, and about Hans.
"We got married a year later," Kristoff said. "And we have a little girl named Maura."
"So a prince, husband and a father," Jason said as they began to walk towards the castle. "You've been busy."
"Yup and I bet they would be more than happy to meet you," he said.
"They kinda have to, since the Wolf Knight has returned."
"True, so how's Eugene?"
"Good, he and Rapunzal are now the proud parents of a two year old son, Jason."
"They named him after you?"
"Apparently so," he said. "Not really surprised about Hans though, he always was too ambitious for his own good. Never thought he'd go so far for a throne though."
"Yeah, I haven't told the Queen and Princess that I knew him yet."
"What?!," he exclaimed. "Oh man you are gonna be in so much trouble!"
"Tell me something I don't know," he said as they neared the castle gates.
"Okay, your wife and kid are waiting for you at the gates," he said pointing straight ahead, and true to his word stood Anna, holding Maura.
Soon enough, they reached them and the tall, blonde man gave his strawberry-blonde haired wife a loving kiss while their daughter looked at Jason with curiosity. He then smiled and she laughed a little.
"Who might this be Kristoff?," Anna asked.
"This is Jason, an old friend of mine," he answered.
"Very old it would seem," she joked making Jason chuckle.
"Don't let the beard fool you, Your Highness," he joked around as well. "I'm only ten years old."
They all laughed at that joke.
"Good one, out of curiosity how old are you?," she asked.
"That depends. What year is it?," he asked, which confused Anna. "Perhaps it's best that I explain who I am to you and your sister at the same time, Your Highness. After the Queen has given her speech to start the Christmas celebration of course."
"Hmm... call me Anna from now on and you've got a deal."
"Alright then... Anna," he said and she smiled.
As if on cue, the people and the Queen came out and began to gather within the castle courtyard. Jason's mouth would've been on the ground if he hadn't caught it in time, but it didn't stop him from staring at the drop-dead gorgeous woman in the middle of the crowd. As Anna and Maura went over to her, Kristoff soon saw that Jason was staring.
"Make a painting, it'll last a lot longer, buddy," he whispered to him.
"Shut up, Kristoff," he said coming out of his trance. "Man, and I thought your wife was beautiful. I don't mean any offense to her."
"It's alright," he said. "I can see that her sister is prettier, but I only have eyes for Anna."
"Better remember to say that to her if that ever becomes an issue," Jason pointed and Kristoff nodded, and they both stopped talking and listened to the
"People of Arendelle!," Elsa began her speech, holding Maura. "Once again, we come together to celebrate the birth of our savior! But this year shall be different! For we have a new member of the royal family to celebrate with us! I give you Princess Maura of Arendelle!"
The crowds then began cheering at the announcement, but then Jason spotted something. The child had started to get nervous with all the noise and then he saw that her hands had begun to frost over, but decided to beg quiet about it for now.
"And with that, I hereby say, let the Christmas celebration begin!," she finished, and then after a final wave of cheering the people began to disperse with smiles on their faces.
"She's a lot like her mother," Jason commented.
"Yeah, they both are," Kristoff said. Then the two men then saw that the Queen and Princesses were walking over to them and Jason bowed.
"Please there's no need for that," Elsa said. "As you no doubt have guessed, I'm Queen Elsa. My sister said you wanted to speak to us."
"Yes, that is correct, Your Majesty," he said. "Allow me to fully introduce myself. I am Sir Jason of Arendelle. Son of King Agdar's greatest military adviser, General Fredrik, and the last knight of Arendelle."
Both girls went wide-eyed.
"Um... perhaps it's best that we speak of this inside," Kristoff suggested to which they all agreed.
"First you might wanna clean up," Anna suggested, to which Jason agreed to easily, then he walked back into town to find a barber, with Kristoff following him.
As the girls walked back inside, Anna then turned to Elsa.
"Did you know that Uncle Fredrik had a son?," Anna asked, and she shook her head.
Town Barbershop
It didn't take long for the boys to find a barbershop since both knew the town like the back of their hands. Soon enough, Jason walked out it's a clean shaven face and now only slightly long hair, but still story enough to look nice. He had also been able to change into the usual attire he wore as a knight, armor mixed into a suit, (think of the Inquisitor's orange and black armor from the trailer of Dragon Age: Inquisition, just black and teal, much like the colors of Elsa's coronation dress, and no helmet).
"Wow, now you look like a knight," Kristoff said.
Then Jason beg to see that he was turning some heads. "And have had a major change in my popularity," he said, and the two laughed.
"You still have that outfit after all these years?," he asked.
"Yup it was in the bag that I had," Jason explained.
They then began to walk back to the castle, where some of the guards began to recognize Jason and began to salute him out of respect. They were soon approached by the head servant, Kai.
"Hello Master Jason, it had been too long," he said.
"Indeed it has been Kai," Jason responded.
Kai then led the two to the library, where the queen and princess were waiting.
As they moved through the castle, memories began to come back to Jason, making him smile slightly.
Soon enough, the three reached the library and Kai returned to his duties, while Kristoff went in first, followed by Jason.
Elsa and Anna once again went bug-eyed.
"You certainly clean up good," Anna commented as the two men sat down.
"Thank you Anna," he said and she smiled at him remembering the deal. "Before I start my story, I have a couple of things to give you."
He then pulled out two rings from his pocket and gave one to each sister.
"Wait, this is our mother's ring," Anna said.
"And this is the Arendelle signet ring," Elsa said.
"Yes, they are," he said to them. "To truly understand, I'll have start from the beginning. When I was ten, I came here to the castle, to meet the royal family. You two were about seven and four at the time, and I wasn't here for long which is probably why you don't remember me. I came because your father offered me something I couldn't refuse."
"What was that?," Elsa asked.
"Becoming a knight," he answered. "I accepted, and my father and I spent the next eight years training at the military fort a few days northwest of here. My father would've trained me immediately, but it was up to the king whether or not I'd be trained. I was taught how to fight with swords, hand-to-hand and spear. I also was taught how to shoot, how to hunt and survive in the wild. Then the war came."
"Yes, the allied war against the barbarians, consisted of Arendelle, Corona and the Southern Isles," Elsa said.
"Arendelle was asked to help in the war by Corona," Jason informed. "And we were quick to come to their aid. I was made a commander and was allowed to choose who my offices would be. And this is the part that neither of you might not like."
"What do you mean?," Anna asked, confused.
"Well I first chose the now Prince Eugene of Corona as my head scout, the now ex-Prince Hans of the Southern Isles," he began and their eyes widened and filled with a little bit of anger at hearing that name. "And him."
He then pointed to Kristoff, and Anna began chuckling.
"Hahaha... Kristoff in a war? That's impossible, right sweetie?," she asked and all her husband did was smile sheepishly and nervously rub the back of his neck, causing Jason to snicker quietly.
"They called him the Bear Knight, show it to them,"Jason said and Kristoff pulled out a pendant around his neck from underneath his shirt, it was of a bear with hazel gems as the eyes.
"Kristoff, you and I are going to have a discussion later that you're not gonna like," Anna angrily said. "Can you please continue your story, Sir Jason."
"You can call me Jason," he says. "Anyway, Eugene was called the Fox Knight, pretty nifty with daggers, Kristoff with dual axes, Hans was the Griffin Knight and h was good with a two handed sword. They both have pendants as well, Eugene has a fox one and Hans a griffin one, if he still has it."
"And what were you?," Elsa asked, and he pulled out his own pendant, a wolf with ice blue gems for eyes, (think of Geralt's pendant in Witcher 3).
"The Wolf Knight, as I said I was their leader, much to Hans' dismay, and Kristoff was my second in command," he continued. "The four of us practically won the war single handedly in three years.
Afterwards, Hans returned to the Southern Isles, not on very good terms with any of us, and Kristoff returned to Arendelle. I remained in Corona with Eugene, least until his wedding, where I was the best man."
Then realization hit the sisters. "You were on the ship when it went down," Elsa said. "You were there when they died."
"Yes I was," he said and he began to feel the temperature drop. "Believe me when I say this, I tried to save them."
"Why didn't you?," Anna asked getting upset as well.
"They saved me," he answered and they gave him confused looks. "Your mother gave me the rings, and told me to give them to you. Then the king and my father pushed me into a lifeboat by force. They made me promise to protect you both."
The girls were very silent for a couple minutes, trying to stop tears from flowing, barely succeeding. Kristoff gave Anna a hug.
"Then where were you these past five years?," Elsa asked getting control of herself again.
"Stranded on some little isle in the North Sea for... what year is it?," Jason asked.
"1645."
"Then for five years I was stranded, until a ship passed by close enough for me to signal them and they brought me back to Corona, met up with Eugene and Rapunzal, and they got me on a ship back here, and that brings us up to the present."
"Wow," was all Anna could say.
"Yeah, and to answer your question from before Anna, I'm twenty-six."
"Well, you and I will have to inform the council of you returning," Elsa said. "And you're more than welcome to stay here."
"Thank you," he said smiling slightly.
"Of course," she said, matching the smile. "And thank you for trying to save our parents."
He nodded, then Anna left to go and check on Maura.
"Did you know about me being in the war Elsa?," Kristoff asked, and she nodded.
"I never spoke to you about it because what I've read about war, it's not an everyday subject to speak of. What I didn't know was that you were the Bear Knight."
"Yeah, that was just a name for me, I've never cared for what people called me, neither did Jason and Eugene. We fought to protect our homes and families, not for glory."
"You are all very noble men you know, and heroes. But you do know you're still in trouble with us both because you never actually told us and that you knew Hans?"
He then gulped and she rolled her eyes playfully. "Don't worry, I'll leave your punishment to Anna."
"Yeah, well I better go and talk to her about it," he said getting up. "It's been nice knowing ya."
Jason couldn't help but snicker at his friend's misfortune, then he turned to the queen.
"Your Majesty I'm sorry if this all seems so sudden," he apologized.
"It's alright, really, I've gotten used to things like this," she said. "And please call me Elsa."
"Very well then, Elsa," he said, and she smiled.
"By the way how did you meet Kristoff?," Elsa asked out of curiosity.
"It was about six years into my training, I went out hunting one night, and I was about to kill a deer when all of a sudden a bear came out of nowhere and it was about to kill me, when all of a sudden, there comes this big, blonde lunkhead and runs right in front of me, arms and legs outstretched and yelling at the top of his lungs," he said, and Elsa laughed at the thought of Kristoff doing such a thing.
"Hahaha... why would he do that?," she said still laughing.
"Well your supposed to do that to make yourself look bigger than you are, supposed to discourage the bear. Even at the age of fifteen, Kristoff was a big guy, so it didn't take much. That bear ran away like a frightened deer. We became quick friends afterwards, then he became my brother-in-arms."
"Well any friend of his is one of mine," she commented and he smiled again at this. "Well we better go and find Kai and have him ready a room for you."
They then both left the library and soon found Kai, who said that he had already had a room ready.
On their way there, the two encountered something that Jason had not expected.
"Hi Elsa!," a moving snowman yelled running towards them.
"Hello Olaf," she greeted back.
"Who's this? Your boyfriend?," he asked innocently, but it made her blush dramatically, and even made Jason blush slightly.
"No Olaf, this is Jason, he's a knight," she answered a little embarrassed.
"Oh. What's a knight?"
"I'm kind of like a protector of Arendelle, a commander of soldiers," Jason explained as best he could, but the snowman seemed to understand.
"Oh! Well, hi I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs," he said reaching out for a hug, which made the war hero smile and he obliged him with one, which Elsa thought was very cute.
"Well I'm gonna go and find Sven. Bye!," he said then walking away.
"So that's the snowman I've heard so much about," Jason said.
"Yup, made him shortly after I ran away from Arendelle," Elsa said. "You do know about my powers right?"
"Yup, Kristoff told me what happened two years ago. And I already knew about them. You showed them to me when I first came here."
"I did?," she asked and he nodded, then they continued walking.
Soon the Elsa and Jason finally arrived to the guest room.
"Thank you for showing me the way to my room Elsa, I appreciate it," he said.
"You're very welcome," she said. "I suppose I shall see you at dinner."
"I can't wait," he said and went into his room, and she began walking to her study.
'I can't wait either,' she thought to herself.
Sorry that this is kind long, but it was a lot to explain. This will be the first of the two Elsaxoc stories I'll be doing in the future. I hope you like this.
