Chapter 1

The wedding was a successfully joyous occasion; people from all over the land flooded though the open gates to witness the union of Princess Anna and her true love Kristoff, who ran across the frozen fjord to aid in the melting of the Kingdom of Arendelle. And not soon after was their marriage immediately blessed by the queen, and Anna's sister, Elsa- whom, at this very moment was finding herself utterly annoyed with the affection radiating off the new couple.

So she packed her possessions and decided to give the new marriage some room to blossom- and give her some space away from it all. She gave the warm rising sun and lush green forest one last acknowledgement, before mounting her horse, and making the lonely trek up the vast mountainside. She decided to only tell a select few of the nosy staff where she was headed, and this would prove to be a mistake on her part later on.

The Queen was returning to her ice palace; a place she carved with her ice magic- laced with years of built-up pain and fear. A place where she could be free to do what she wanted to do, and feel how she wanted to feel. A place where she could be herself.

The Northern Mountain had barely broken into view when Elsa began to feel the memories rushing back like an icy wind; it was enough to give the Snow Queen chills. But she soldiered on, sensing a pang of relief at the site of her large fortress: it was still carved flawlessly on the outside, despite the broken bridge and collapsed banister to her large balcony. It gleamed in the afternoon sun, as if to welcome her back.

The repairs were easy on the outside, and she fixed it with a simple wave of her alabaster colored hand. Ice appeared from the air in small, glittering particles, wiping away any memories of Hans' siege on her castle. Elsa timidly entered the palace, the creak of the door echoing through it's empty frozen halls. Everything looked untouched, and it almost seemed like the struggle had never happened. But she was almost too afraid to go up the winding, glassy stairs, in fear that her large decorative chandelier had demolished most of the top floor. But it wasn't as terrible as she had pictured it.

"….I don't even know where to begin with that…" she grumbled to herself, glancing over the crumbled floor and shattered ice. Trying to lift up the smashed chandelier put a strain on her arms, something the Queen never had felt before and she figured that this was how the Arendelle castle handymen had felt whenever something needed to be replaced. She forced the behemoth of an ice sculpture through the air and bound it once again to the crystal roof. Her chest heaved with exhaustion and accomplishment.

"There. Now everything is how it should be." Elsa smiled and wiped her brow. But something seemed to be missing- everything was fixed, so why did she still feel a hole in her chest. "Maybe…. Maybe I can add more rooms- or a ballroom, Anna would love-"

She stopped herself, realizing that her sister was nowhere in sight and was probably still fast asleep in her chambers, not even aware that Elsa had left earlier that morning. The Queen held her fists to her chest, trying to push away any urge of returning back to Arendelle. She had to be strong, and keep reminding herself that it is for the best and that Anna and Kristoff need this time to be with one another. And Elsa would just find herself in the center of that, mudding up the relationship with her damaged being.

"Arendelle will be fine…." She chanted to herself, "Anna will be fine… just, build something Elsa…. You'll feel better if you build something…"

Her thin arms sprung out in front of her and began to push the walls open. She didn't even know what she was building; she was just going with her gut. Minutes passed by- maybe even hours, and Elsa was just creating ice out of the air, completely numb to her surroundings. She barely even noticed the sound of approaching footsteps, only turning around when she heard a loud thump. Anna had slipped on the freshly iced floor, and was lying sprawled out and tangled in her large cloak. Elsa stepped back in pure shock.

"Anna?" Elsa ran to her sister's aid, heaving her small frame off the ground, "What are you doing here? You should have stayed in Arendelle."

"Oh, Arendelle's fiiiine," Anna shove the manner off with her usually goofy air, "Kristoff's got it under control."

"I hardly think Kristoff is supervisor material," Elsa scoffed crossing her arms, "you really shouldn't have come here. I'm not lashing out this time, I… I just need a vacation."

"Vacation?" Anna asked curiously, almost sounding hurt, "from what?"

Elsa heaved a sigh and gripped her shoulders. In a small voice, she grumbled out, "… from all the, um, awkward…."

"'Awkward'? Pfft." Anna flicked her hand out as if to brush it off, "it's not awkward- there's no awkward."

"Yes. It is." Elsa pushed away a stray hair from her face, "you guys are just so devoted to one another, and I'm afraid to mess that up. Just let me be here- alone, for a while…."

Anna playfully twisted her arm into the crook of her sister's and gave a pull, "come onnnn, you're overreacting! There's no way you can ruin things- if anything, you'd make it much better! I just got you back, Elsa, I can't lose you again."

Elsa shrugged her way out of her sister's grip; her nervousness boiled in her belly and formed ice at her feet, causing the slick floor to crack. "Anna, please… I can't expect you to understand… you've always need the extra attention, but I need to be alone. I'm better off by myself."

"But Elsa, I-"Anna giggled awkwardly, not quite getting the point her sister was trying to make.

"No. You need to leave." Elsa said firmly, balling her fists. Her sister's persistence was starting to trigger a force in the Queen. Anna stepped forward and extended her arm to her, but this only angered Elsa more. "I SAID LEAVE!"

Elsa threw her arms back towards the wall and was greeted with a crackling noise followed by a loud pop. As it turned out, her anger surged through her fingertips and into the walls, forcing the large chunk of ice to depart with her palace. It took along a slice of the Northern Mountain, which snapped off and tumbled to the foggy abyss below. Elsa gasped aloud, glancing at her fingertips before pressing them to her mouth.

Anna looked down below where the cloud cover had been broken, "…. Whoa. Look what you did."

"What I did?!" Elsa yelped, "you pushed me too it, Anna!"

"I wasn't aiming to have you break the ancient mountain!" Anna said defensively and returned with a child-like argument, "you- you just have an anger problem!"

"Excuse me?! You have some nerve-" The sister's quarrel had stopped abruptly, for they both had noticed something glinting in the sunlight. "Wait, what's that?"

They both approached the shattered edge of the palace floor, only inching forward when Elsa made an icy path. Embedded in the mountain were shards of broken trinkets, swords that broken from their hilts, and a very strange circular stone with old runes etched into it's smooth surface. Anna rubbed the snow away with her bare fingers that were now pink and numb from the cold.

"I think I might be able to make this out, "Anna announced with eager pride.

"Anna, what do you know about ancient text? That stone is probably thousands of years old," Elsa grumbled, her pride still hurt from their earlier scuffle.

"No, no, no, I'm serious! This isn't much different than the runes I've read about it the library. You know, you can learn a lot when you have the free time that I did-" Anna met Elsa's glare and cleared her throat, "Ahem!-I'm sorry, that was kinda uncalled for."

"Yes. It was." Elsa crossed her arms, impatiently, "so. What does it say?"

"Whelp. I'm sorta rusty, but I think it says…" Anna held the stone as close to her face as she possibly could, " um… I think it says…."

"Anna it's okay if you can't do it. Just throw that rock back where you found it- with your luck, it might as well be cursed, and we really don't need another eternal winter."

"No, no, no, I can handle this. Just, let me think for a moment-" Anna stuck her tongue out the corner of her mouth and squinted her eyes at the runes, " ….Um…."

"Come on Anna, this isn't some game-"

"Oh! I got it! Ahem!

Olyauthil A Glor!"

Suddenly the ground shook and before they could realize that they had made the worst decision of their lives.
