Elsa groaned and buried her head into her arms, currently resting on top of the mound of trade agreements and apologetic
letters from the Southern Isles laying before her.

Ever since the Great Thaw only a month earlier, everything had been in the aura of that of a dreamland for everyone.
Everyone except the Queen, that is. Each day, Elsa's desk would be greeted with yet another apology, asking for forgiveness of
Prince Hans' Despicable behaviour, usually from his eldest brother, King Darius of the Southern Isles.
`Ugh, won't they ever give up?` She thought to herself before turning her attention to Anna's distinctive knock on her door.
"Elsa! Do you wanna build a snowman?" Anna asked in her chirpy voice. She really had to finish the documents that she had,
mainly because many of them had remained un-signed for weeks now. "Anna. I have to work, you know. I can't just continue
building snowmen every day! Where's Kristoff? I'm sure he'd like to build one." Elsa replied while turning the door handle.

There Anna was, dressed in her freshly-laundered winter gear she had acquired on the day of Elsa's coronation. Her large,
goofy grin complimented her Teal-coloured eyes strangely but perfectly. It was clearly obvious that Anna would not give up on
her daily endeavour.

"Yeah, I know. But I can't find him anywhere! I checked the stables to see if he was with Sven but he wasn't and Sven's still in
his stall with Olaf so I went back to the front gates and asked the guards if they'd seen him but they hadn't so then I asked
Kai and Gerda if they had perhaps seen him going into the grand hall or to a different wing of the castle but they hadn't so I
went through the corridors to find him," At this point, her face was turning the faintest shade of blue, much to Elsa's
amusement.

"Whoa! Slow down Anna, or you'll collapse!" Elsa giggled
"Hey! I told you not to make any more references to the garden incident! Oh yeah, the gardens! Gotta run bye Elsa!" Anna
yelled, sprinting down the corridor and nearly falling flat on her face in the process.
"Only my sister..." Elsa breathed, once again staring at the humongous pile of paper in front of her.
"This is going to be a long day..." She stated while dipping her quill into the pot of ink beside her.

"Kristoff!" Anna shouted, causing a daydreaming Kristoff to snap out of his mind-less state.
"Oh, hey Fiestypants!" He chuckled as Anna tackled him into a bear hug.
"I've been looking all over for you! Have you been here this whole time?" Anna asked, putting much emphasis on 'whole'
"Uh, yea, why?" Anna gave him the brightest smile he had ever seen... since that morning. "WAIT, wait, lemme guess, 'Do you want to build a snowman?" Kristoff sang in a croaky, high-pitched voice, frolicking with his wrists.
"HEY! I do not sound like that!" She retorted as she playfully slapped his upper arm.
"Do too."
"Do not!"
"Do too."
"Do not!"
"Do not."
"Do too! And that's final!" Anna exclaimed, stamping her foot.
"Okay, if you say so!" He replied while running past the fountain and toward the main doors.
"Wait... KRISTOFF BJORGMAN GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW OR I WILL PERSONALLY LOCK YOU IN THE DUNGEONS!"

It was frightening Elsa more by the minute. A large, red envelope sat on the top of the mountain of letters sent by the Southern Isles with the words 'URGENT, QUEEN ELSA OF ARENDELLE` scrawled onto its front. She had to open it, red envelopes were only used in emergencies like a huge building collapse or a war about to break through. But then again, it could just be another trick to get Elsa to read their hundredth apology sent to her. "NO." She told herself. "It's probably just another pointless letter sent by that freak-show royal family with a psychopathic prince." But no, her mind told her different.
The Queen had an instinct for these things. Ever since the accident all those years ago, it wasn't hard for Elsa to sense something wrong or dangerous about to happen.

Her hands acted for the mindless Arendellian ruler, causing her to pick up the letter opener and make a small incision in the folding. Elsa came to her senses, realising the already opened letter was clutched into the palm of her hand, creating small creases in the paper. She unfolded the letter. And scanned through it with ease, until she reached the final sentence. Her heart could be felt pumping increasingly faster in her chest, and her body began trembling fiercly. Elsa's mouth stood agape, and the last thing she remembered was a flurry of thin, blue frost, before everything faded to black...

So, this is my first fanfic! Yay me! But seriously, if you like it, feel free to message me with ideas for what could happen next. The next chapter will be uploaded within the next few days. I'm expecting this to be around 30K words long when it's complete. It may not look like it, but this is only a short prologue. If you wanna see what happens next, Keep reading!

Thanks!
