I did not create frozen and I don't now own these characters. This is just a fun story.
Anna started to play with her braids while she listened to the reports on Arendelle's production facilities. The summer blizzard, that happened last year, had put many things behind schedule. The reports were important but Anna couldn't help but let her mind wander. Elsa normally did these kinds of things but she left several days ago to work on her abilities. They found out the hard way that if Elsa neglected her powers for too long her powers would begin to flare out of her without meaning to. How she went for years without using her powers, and starting a few ice ages like last summer, was a miracle. So every few months Else would travel up into the mountains north of Arendelle to practice and use her abilities. This left Anna as Regent and she took over all aspects of ruling.
"That's it your majesty." The words snapped Anna out of her day dreaming.
"Thank you for the update. Queen Elsa will be very happy with the progress." Anna replied as she stood up, all the people in the throne room stood with her and started filing out of the throne room. Thankfully this was the last thing for the day. Anna walked over to Kai "Can you send for Guard Captain Rolo and have him meet me at the East training yard. I would like to have a work out since I have been sitting all day". Since the gates had opened Anna had met many new people and tried many new things and she found many new things she liked to do.
With Elsa out training and Kristoff also up in the mountains it meant that Anna had to fill her hours alone and the one thing that she liked to do alone was training. Anna learned that she was very good at sword play and archery. Guard Captain Rolo spent many years sparing with her father. Little known to Anna and Elsa their father was an expert swordsman and their mother was a big fan of archery, Guard Captain Rolo said it helped her mother focus and gave her a chance to think. Anna went to her room and changed her dress for a pantaloons and a shirt. Anna arrived in the east training yard but the Guard Captain Rolo had not arrived yet. Anna walked over picked out a practice bow, grabbed several arrows then walked over to the targets and started to loose arrows into the targets down range. After using up her first quiver of arrows she started to wonder where the Guard Captain was when his voice rang out behind her.
"I was wrong princess your abilities surpass your mothers. Your natural talent with the bow and sword is uncanny". Anna didn't even hear him come in and start watching her. The Guard Captain was a man that liked order and his appearance mimicked that. Clean shaved, trimmed straw colored hair, piercing green eyes and he stood taller than Anna but not as tall as Kristoff. Only thing that showed his age is the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes and mouth.
"Do you feel up to a lesson Guard Captain" Anna said with a smile. After having her aid fetch her arrows and putting her bow away. They headed over to the training ring.
Anna was lying in bed, after a couple of hours sparing with the Guard Captain, with fatigued muscles. Something had woken her up but Anna couldn't quite place the noise. Finally Anna realized that someone was talking to her.
"Your Majesty I'm sorry to wake you but there is a very urgent message for you".
"Where is Elsa" Anna asked as she rolled away from the sound.
"Your Majesty the Queen is out practicing her abilities" Anna finally realized that her new handmaiden was standing at the door with a worried expression on her face, Anna finally rolled out of bed and started heading toward the door. "Your majesty your robe" Anna looked down and noticed she was in her bed cloths. Anna allowed her handmaiden put a robe on her and she sleepily walked into the sitting area and noticed the once flowing black hair now with streaks of silvered age running through it that announced Admiral Regar was in the room and looking worried. This snapped Anna out of her sleep walking. Anna pulled her hair back and Sasha tied a ribbon around it.
"Admiral what is wrong" Anna asked.
The Admiral pulled on his black and silver beard like he did when something was bothered him. "Your Majesty one of our merchant fleets was attacked by an unmarked fleet. We can't confirm our losses but only two of the merchant ships were able to make it to Admiral Westerguards base on Kristinasund Island" Anna just stood there in shock. No one has attacked one of Arendelle's fleets since her father was very young. "Admiral Westerguard has reported that he was mobilizing the entire fleet based there to search for survivors and to try and find out who attacked us" Admiral Regar was always direct, to the point but very warm and grandfather like.
"Sasha please go wake Kai and General Lars and we will meet them in the library" Anna started simple; the library was where all the maps were, Anna lead the Admiral to the library. Shasha ran off down the hall with her straw colored hair flying behind her. Shasha was young and energetic and was trained well. Her pale skin, slight frame, straw colored hair and blue eyes made her look more like a ghost or angle then a handmaiden.
Anna still needed a while to wrap her head around what she just heard. "Alright Admiral Regar if Admiral Westerguard is mobilizing the fleet at Kristiansand then we need to make sure our fleet here is ready to protect Arendelle. What is the status of the home fleet"? Even though there probably was a report on this earlier this week she can't remember anything about it right now. Most of the home fleet was damaged in some way last summer when Elsa accidently froze the fjord.
"Our six frigates are repaired and battle ready, Queen Elsa's Lance is also battle ready just needs supplies. The Spirit of Anna is sea worthy but still needs to be rearmed, restocked and out of dry dock. It could be done quickly if needed" Admiral Regar replied pulling on his beard again. It was fairly common that Galleon class ships to be named after the Royal family. Anna didn't even realize that there was a ship named after her until a few months ago. After Anna did find out she got to see the ship in dry dock undergoing repairs. It was the biggest ship in the home fleet and it was the most beautiful ship she had ever seen. It was the least damaged of all the ships and so it was the last to be repaired.
"Let's go ahead and send a runner to the dry dock and have them set up shifts of men to work all day and night if necessary to get the Spirit of Anna up and ready as soon as possible" as Anna finished that statement Kai and General Lars both walk in looking a whole lot better than Anna did. General Lars was an imposing man during the day, he was even more so when he was woken up in the middle of the night. General Lars was so tall he made Kristoff look small, which meant Lars made Anna feel like a child again. The Generals long white hair as usual was neatly pulled back, his mustache neatly arranged as if it was freshly oiled and his ocean blue eyes where barely visible through his permanently guarded eye lids against the sun that had not yet risen.
"Kai I would like you to get a messenger up here as quickly as possible and have one that is familiar with the northern mountains. General Lars one of our merchant fleets was attacked by an unknown enemy fleet and we don't know the losses. I want to know about the army's readiness to withstand a ground assault".
"Your Majesty don't you think you might be over reacting" General Lars replied with a touch of annoyance as he walked over to the map that Anna and Regar were standing at.
"Elsa and I have been talking about possible repercussions after our incident with the Southern Isles and the severing relations with Wesalton. I want to be prepared in case this isn't some random act of piracy. Now if you please the status of the Army" Anna was tired and Elsa has said many times that Anna was too timid at times. So Anna was trying to be more assertive with the General.
General Lars's white eyebrows rose with shock at Anna's response. "Well we could have several squads here in three days' time to reinforce the guards of Arendelle. The rest of the Army is ready to move from the summer base to block the land route to Arendelle in two days."
"Thank you General I want to have the Army start sending scouts to make sure no ships are sitting off the coast line dropping troops near our door step. Just in case. I'm sorry to wake you up but I want messengers sent immediately" just as Anna finished the sentence Kai walked in with the messenger.
"Thank you for coming so quickly" the messenger bowed, stood and continued to tuck his shirt in. Anna sat down and started penning a message to Elsa. "I want you to head north out of Arendelle, to the forest southeast of the north mountain. There is a cabin there that a man lives there his name is Kristoff, he will be able to find Elsa." Anna grabbed the glass of water that was sitting next to her to wet her dry throat. "Tell him that there is an emergency in Arendelle. Princess Anna needs him to find the Queen as quickly as possible. If he asks about me just tell him that everything is Bluebell".
Everyone gave Anna an odd look but Anna just kept speaking. "If he isn't there you should spend the night at the cabin and if he doesn't return by morning I want you to head to the north mountain Queen Elsa might be at her ice palace". Anna then handed the message for Elsa to Kai. Kai then sprinkled sand over the message to dry the ink, then rolled up the message, warmed some wax and Anna pushed her stamp in to the wax from her necklace stamp. "When you get to the ice palace stand at the bottom of the stairs and say as loud as possible 'That Arendelle has an emergency'. After that wait a bit before going up the stairs to look for the Queen". It might sound strange but the big snow monster that Elsa created still guards her palace and will not attack if someone says that phrase.
Anna then walked over to one of the many book shelves and pulls out then book holding the map to the Valley of the Living Rock. "If Elsa is no ware to be found then return to Kristoff's cabin and spend another night there if he still doesn't show up then take this map and head north east from his cabin and you will be on the route labeled on this map. Finally if the people there don't know where Elsa is then return to Kristoff's cabin and spend one last night. If Kristoff still doesn't return come back to Arendelle" Anna looked to the messenger to see if he has any questions. The messenger bowed once again and left the sitting room. Anna then looked to her advisors to see what else they might recommend.
"Your majesty I think that we are as prepared as we can be for tonight" General Lars spoke once the door closed.
"You both may go and send off messengers with my orders. I'm sorry for waking you both" when Anna finished her sentence General Lars was at the door and out.
