Anna was walking through the halls of the castle. It had been almost a week since she had been abducted by Hans, and she was up and about, trying to ignore the fact that she was blind in one eye temporarily. It was a bit difficult, but she swore she had the hang of it now. All she had to do was find Elsa, who was somewhere in the castle. Anna assumed she was in her study. "Elsa!" She called, turning the corner and bumping into one of the servants, who was carrying what was probably Elsa's lunch.

"Oops…" Anna said, struggling to her feet, turning her head so she could use her good eye. "I'm so sorry."

"It's alright," the servant replied, trying to clean up the mess. "It was my fault…"

"What's going on out here?" A new voice asked. Anna turned to see it was Elsa coming into the hall. "Are you both okay?" She asked, running to her sister.

"Fine," Anna said, shifting her weight uncomfortably.

"It was my fault, your Majesty," the servant replied, bowing.

"It's alright, Ted," Elsa replied with a soft smile, although she gave Anna a look that said that they were going to talk as soon as they were alone. "Accidents happen."

"I will bring you another one right away," Ted replied, bowing and swiftly walking back towards the kitchen.

"It was my fault," Anna said softly, looking down at her hands. "I wasn't watching where I was going."

"You're still getting used to it," Elsa said, wrapping her arm around Anna's shoulders comfortingly. "Just be a bit more careful, okay?"

"I will," Anna said, although by the tone of her voice, Elsa knew it was going to bother her. Anna started walking away. That's all that had been happening all week. Accident after accident. Usually, she would just be able to brush it off; but, she was at the height of accidents since she was a child. Elsa had done her best to keep Anna from feeling depressed about it, but it was still nerve wracking.

She walked down the hall and headed for the stable. As she turned another corner, she nearly bumped into someone else. "Sorry," a female voice said.

Anna looked to see it was the girl who had helped Elsa rescue her. "It's okay…" Anna replied. "It's my fault, I wasn't watching where I was going."

"Still getting used to it?" Leila asked.

"It's that obvious?" Anna asked. She hadn't seen Leila in over a week, so she wasn't sure how she knew.

"A bit," Leila replied. "Don't worry about it, though. You'll get the hang of it."

"That's what everyone keeps telling me," Anna sighed. "Especially Elsa. She's done her best to keep from treating me like a helpless child; but, I can tell she wants to."

"Get used to it," Leila replied, putting a comforting hand on Anna's shoulder. "Older siblings are like that. They just want what's best for you- even if you hate it when they do it."

"Sounds like you have experience," Anna replied.

"I do," Leila replied, nodding before changing the subject. "Anyway, I'm looking for your sister. Do you know where she is?"

"Yeah," Anna replied. "She's in her study. Not sure if she's busy or not."

"That's fine," Leila replied, heading off in the direction of the castle. "Just need to inform her that I'm supposed to get in contact with my source soon. Unfortunately we've had to be gone to our own kingdoms for personal reasons. And that Hans is no longer hiding in the Southern Mountains."

"Where is he?" Anna asked. If he was in Arendelle, he was going to get a beating for what he did to her.

"I don't know," Leila replied. "He's nowhere in Arendelle- the dragons confirmed that; and, they're on high alert in the territory they control. If there's any sign of him, I'll be the first to know."

"Why do you rely on the dragons so much?"

"Elsa didn't tell you, did she?"

"Tell me what?"

"That I was half-dragon."

"Wait, what?"

"That's one of the reasons why I'm close to the dragons," Leila said, putting her hand on Anna's shoulder. "Look, I understand you're not going to like being around a dragon for awhile; but, you should know we're not all bad. It may take a little while, but you'll soon see it." She gave Anna a soft smile, then turned to head into the castle. "Oh," she said, turning back for a moment. "If you're headed to the stables for a ride, I suggest the meadow. It's quite beautiful this time of day."

Anna nodded and continued to the stables. She walked over to her horse, Aske. The Fjord horse snorted and walked over to her, nudging her gently. "Want to head to the meadow?" She asked, picking up his saddle and putting it on the horse's back. Aske whinnied, pawing the ground in anticipation. Anna smiled and mounted, kicking her horse into a lope.

Elsa was in her study, going over some paperwork when there was a knock at the door. "Come in," Elsa said, turning to face the door. She smiled when she saw who it was. "Leila," she said happily, walking over to her. "Have you come with news?"

"Actually I have," Leila replied. "Both good and bad."

"What's the bad news?"

"I haven't been able to get in touch with my contact because we both have been busy," Leila said. "We'll be meeting within the next day or two, though."

"What's the good news?"

"Hans is no longer hiding in the Southern Mountains," Leila replied. "And he's nowhere in Arendelle."

"Then where is he?"

"Well, that's also bad news, we have no idea."

"So our enemy could be anywhere?"

"Anywhere, but pretty far. There's only two locations that I can think of; neither of which I ever enter."

"Where would that be?"

"Well, there's a small location that strictly belongs to Rogue Dragons," Leila replied. "I doubt he and Morgause are there, though; those dragons don't take too kindly to humans unless there's a deal to be made."

"And the other location?"

"Somewhere close to Camelot. That's where Morgause is from."

"How is it I've never heard of Camelot?"

"You may know the land better by all the kingdoms, Albion."

"I've heard of it," Elsa replied. "I'm just not sure if I've ever had problems with them."

"Probably not," Leila said. "I've had problems with them- in the past." The way she said that made Elsa believe it was personal. "But, I will say you were right about something."

Elsa knew she changed the subject on purpose, but decided not to press. "What was that?"

"The dragon that took your sister was one of my dragons," Leila replied. "A juvenile Rock Dragon named Igney."

"I thought you said your dragons would never take a royal."

"They wouldn't," Leila replied a bit annoyed, before taking a breath and looking down at the floor. "Except for one reason."

"What would that be."

"The promise of treasure. Unfortunately, that's the dragon's weakness; and since neither Morgause or Hans were dead when we saw them, then they've fulfilled their half of the deal."

"Why would they be dead?"

"Dragons are vengeful creatures, Elsa," Leila said looking at her. "Even the gentlest of them have a dark side; it's in their nature. The penalty for not fulfilling your side of a bargain, is most likely death."

"So, you tricked me into that alliance?"

"No!" Leila exclaimed, a horrified look on her face. "I would never do that; I need that alliance. If something goes wrong on my end, you'll be free from it."

Elsa watched the girl carefully. She hasn't known Leila for long, but there was something about the way she said it, that made Elsa know she could trust her.

Suddenly, Pipsqueak, a tiny red dragon with a golden underbelly came flying in. "Pip?" Leila asked, raising her arm for him to land on. "What are you doing here?"

"More importantly," Elsa said, looking around. "How did he get in?"

Leila glared at Pipsqueak for a moment. "Cracks in the walls and dungeons," Leila replied, stroking the small dragon. "What am I needed for?" Pipsqueak started purring something in his language, that surprisingly Leila could understand. "Emerald?" She asked, her eyes going wide. "You sure?" Pipsqueak nodded. Leila sighed and turned back to Elsa as Pip took back to the air. "I have to go."

"Why?" Elsa asked curiously. She wanted to know who or what this Emerald was.

"It's more or less family business," Leila replied, hurrying to the door, before stopping and turning to Elsa. "If you must know, I have some hunters going to close to a dragon's lair. Probably on a treasure hunt. I have to divert them before something bad happens." With that she turned and walked swiftly away.

Elsa shook her head, then called for a guard to know the location of her sister. He told her that she was on a ride, but a couple of the guards had followed her from a safe distance. Elsa nodded and allowed him to leave. At least her sister was safe. Now all they needed to do was find Hans and either imprison him or drive him out of Arendelle.
