Anna moves blindly across the fjord. Anna's hands frost over an icy blue. She stumbles on, determined. But she's running out of time. She clutches her chest. The color in her eyes fades, the inevitable is coming. Kristoff, lost in the white-out, doesn't know which way to turn. But then he hears a faint, "Kristoff." Kristoff yells out Anna's name. Meanwhile, Elsa struggles through her own storm, but the fear is consuming her. A dark shadow approaches. It's Hans. "Elsa, you can't run from this!" He yells. Elsa backs away from him. "Just take of my sister." She tells him. "Your sister? She returned from the mountain weak and cold. She said you froze her heart. I tried to save her, but it was too late. Her skin was ice. Her hair turned white..." Elsa's face sinks as she realizes what she has done. "Your sister is dead, because of you!" Elsa drops to her knees, emotionally broken. And with that, the swirling storm suddenly stops. The snow freezes mid-air, hangs suspended, trapped in grief. Citizens and dignitaries rush to the wall's edge and look out to see... Anna, barely able to move but now able to see across the fjords. "Kristoff." She whispers. Anna pushes on towards Kristoff. He runs top speed towards her. There's still a lot of fjord to cross, but Kristoff is giving it all he's got. He's going to make it. But then, Anna hears the sound of a sword being drawn from its scabbard. She turns and sees Hans, behind Elsa, as he raises his sword over his head. Anna looks back at Kristoff as he runs for her. She gives him a longing look, but then turns away from him and then... Using all of her remaining strength, as Hans brings his sword down, Anna throws herself in front of Elsa, calling out no. In that instant, Anna freezes to solid ice. The sword hits her instead of Elsa. The sword shatters completely. The force of it sends Hans flying back and knocks him out. Elsa rushes to Anna and touches her sister's frozen face. Elsa hugs Anna and cries. Kristoff watches in shocked despair. Sven steps up to his side. Citizens and dignitaries on the castle walls bow their heads. All of Arendelle is joined in somber silence. They notice Hans getting on his feet and walking back to Elsa, then, ice spikes surrounded him in every direction. Elsa looked back, face still with tears. "Go back to your kingdom, tell your family that this is war. Elsa stomped her foot and created an ice carriage and an ice horse. Elsa used her magic to pick up Hans and put him in the carriage. She ice cuffed him to the carriage. "Take him back to the Southern Isles." Elsa whispered to the ice horse, the ice horse then galloped to his destination. Elsa then noticed the people and guards around her. "Please go back to your homes, and if you are from another kingdom, stay here." She told them, several of them went back to their homes while most of them stayed. Elsa stomped her foot and several ice horses and carriages appeared. "These will take you back home. Trust me." She said to them. The guests trusted her, they saw the queen mourn her sister. Hans told them that the Queen is a monster and killed her own sister. The guests went on the ice carriages and the horses galloped their way to the guests' home. Elsa then walked her way to the castle, walking passed the people and guards. They all bowed down to her, Elsa smiled. Elsa entered the castle, Kristoff and Olaf followed her inside. Every citizen stood and watched the young, walking queen with sadness and pity. Those who wore hats removed them out of respect for the late princess. Elsa went to the throne room. The servants and guards that still have respect for the queen stood in front of her, "We will not fear you, we will only love you and listen to you, we won't listen to anyone against you." One of the guards said, before leaving the throne room, she told the guards and castle staff to tend to the people outside who were in dire need of aid from the effects of the snow curse and that they were all welcome to enter the castle for comfort and warmth if they desired and she left Kai in charge of things in her absence. She walked to her bedroom, once she returned to her bedroom, painful memories returned to her. The separation and her parents' death. But she needed to let go of that memories and be the Queen of Arendelle. Then, someone knocked on her door, "Come in." She said, That's a phrase I never thought I've said in a long time. She thought to herself. Kai peeked in through the door, "We have tended every people in the kingdom, your Highness." She told her. "Thank you, Kai." Kai was about to close the door when Elsa asked him, "May you escort me to my father's office?" She asked Kai. Kai led her to her father's office. Inside, there were bunch of documents and letters on the desk and tables. "Thank you Kai, you may return to what you were doing." She told Kai, he closed the door as he left. Elsa sat down on what used to be her father's office desk and began to read the documents and letter. Several hours later, Kristoff entered, "I was told that you were here. Do you need any help?" Kristoff asked. Elsa nodded. "You can put the letters and documents in a pile." She told him, pointing to a bunch of papers near the corner of her desk.
After a several minutes of silent, Kristoff decided to speak, but Elsa spoke first. He turned to the window, and the Queen watched him from her seat. "Tell me about your father and mother." She said and Kristoff stopped what he was doing and sat on a couch and sat on the very end of it - facing the Queen. . "My father died when I was seven. He was skilled, and he taught me his skills while he was alive. But I don't think he was thought of as a very nice person." "He wasn't?" Elsa held a small document, her blue eyes on him. "He was nice to me. But not so much to other people. He was…cold. Mostly, I think, because of losing my mother." "You lost your mother too?" "When I was three. It was an accident. She fell through the ice of a lake my father's team was harvesting from one winter season. I'm not sure how it happened. They got her out, but she'd swallowed too much water. They couldn't wake her up." "I'm so sorry." "It's alright. I can only remember some things about her. Watching her cooking or cleaning up things. Sometimes playing with me." "You were only three." "Yeah. 'Never go out onto the ice alone.' That was something my father taught me, over and over again, after it happened." He swallowed more wine. "That's why, after he died, I didn't trust walking out onto any ice at all until I had Sven with me." Elsa then smiled at him. "But how old were you? When you met Sven." "Eight." Elsa continued to look at him, "Olaf came here before you, he said that rock trolls adopted you after that, am I right?" Elsa asked him, remembering the rock troll that helped Anna. Kristoff smiled "I have you to thank for leading me to what became my new family." He returned the smile she had given him a moment before. "I don't know what I would have done - or how I would have turned out, probably much worse than I did - if I hadn't been adopted by Bulda." He said "You're thanking me?" She asked. "You left a trail of ice behind you that one night, when you rode with your father to the valley. When I saw it, I had to follow it." He stared into her eyes. "How couldn't I? A trail made of ice, appearing right before my eyes. It was amazing - sparkling, beautiful. It felt like it was made for me, or…something." He reached for the document Elsa read. "Thank you for telling me your story." Kristoff said to Elsa. They then went back to focusing on the letters and documents. For two days, they focused on the letters and documents. They even took breaks. They then finished. They walked down the hall of the castle, then a castle guard ran up to them, "Your Majesty, did you do it?" Elsa and Kristoff were confused. "Did what?" She asked him. He told the two to follow him, he led them outside the castle, where Summer has returned. "I did not do this, I was at my father's office the whole time." Then her eyes widen, she ran around the castle and stopped, the guard, who was now accompanied by another two guard and Kristoff followed her, Elsa saw a pathway leading to Anna's statue. The entire surrounding was water. "Isn't she beautiful?" A voice behind her asked. Elsa turned around, her eyes widen. Hans is back in Arendelle. The three guards try to take out their swords, Elsa signed them not to. "How did you get back here?" Elsa asked him, Hans showed her his hands and a flame sprouted out of it. Elsa stood back, "I had this power ever since I was born, my family never knew because I kept it from them, like you kept it from your sister. I returned Summer. But, also you were right, this is war. Which is why I killed my family, my brothers, my father, and my mother. I have full control of the army. I am now a king of a kingdom" He told her. Elsa's fist tightens. Hans walked passed Elsa and approached the frozen body of Anna, Elsa went to him. "She is what keeping you weak, I want to see you strong, so that once we meet again, you will be strong for when we fight, but I will be stronger." He told her. Hans reached out his hand and started to clench it. Anna's statue started to crack and shattered. Elsa cried and went on her knees. Hans then went on a boat, "One day, I will return, this time with or without an army." He rowed the boat back to his kingdom. Elsa stopped crying and looked at the men behind her, "Tell everyone in the entire kingdom. This is war." The guards left her side. Kristoff looked at Elsa, the Elsa that he told his story to was now gone. "This is war, you know what its like to lose someone. Hans shattered one of the people you loved." Elsa said. Kristoff nodded. "This is war."
