As a small boat glides across the fjord, warm waves crashing against its sides, an older assassin in his late 40's plays with the grey stubble on his face. He looks over to his two apprentices, both of them racing up and down the ship's masts, "Hey Ares, Bryn, quit messing around and come down here?"
They both climb down to him and Ares, the older of the two, replies, "Yes Alex?"
As the three look onto the city of Arendelle, "Do you two remember when I found you here?"
Ares replied "Yeah, I remember. I was 17 and Bryn 14, we stole your coin purse for food, and you chased us down to find two homeless orphans, starving and helpless, and took us back to Italy with you."
Bryn cutting Ares off, "And now after 6 years of training we return home as Assassins, no longer below those who wouldn't pay us any attention before. Now we're above them, staring down at them from their own rooftops."
Ares gives him a shove, "Way to stay humble jackass, we fight for the people, we're not above them, and besides, you'll never beat me up the rooftops." Turning to his mentor, "Anyways it's great to be back home after all this time, even if it's only for a few weeks. I wonder what the princesses look like nowadays?"
Alex grabs them both by the shoulders, "I've heard they're quite beautiful. You boys have come a long way since I first found you, you used to fight to survive, but now you fight for the brotherhood, you fight for what's right, and I'm proud of you two."
A few hours later the three men sit in the church, everyone patiently waiting for the doors to finally open. Princess Elsa nervously walks in, and the Coronation finally begins, with a choir singing a beautiful song up above. The whole congregation rises from their seats, as if to greet their new queen as she stands before them.
Bryn, standing next to his older brother, "So that's the queen?"
Ares with his eyes fixated on the queen mumbles out, "Wow... She's beautiful..."
"Calm down now, you're starting to drool." As the queen stands in front of the rest of the church, Bryn spots the princess standing next to her, "Now her, the princess, she's a beauty."
"Shut up Bryn."
"At least I'm not drooling..." Bryn is interrupted by a slap to the back of the head by their mentor, "Both of you keep quiet and show some respect, we're in a holy place."
As the coronation comes to a close, and the nobility commemorate the Queen's crowning with a loud, "Queen Elsa! Of Arendelle!" the trio make their way to the ballroom. Alex turns to his apprentices, "I have to step out for a bit, I've got business matters to attend too. I trust that you two can stay out of trouble while I'm gone?"
Bryn with a slight laugh, "Trouble? When do we ever get into trouble?"
Alex just shoots him a disapproving look, "You're the one I'm most worried about..."
"I wasn't the one who spilled the chocolate fondue all over the newlywed..."
"Hey that was 3 years ago!" Alex turns to the older apprentice, "Ares just take care of your brother..."
Ares with a slight smirk on his face, "He's an idiot... So no promises, but I'll try."
As Alex begrudgingly leaves the ballroom, the two brothers can finally begin to enjoy the party. After a while they eventually find themselves in a crowd of people, staring at the newly crowned queen and her younger sister.
"Hey Ares?"
"What do you want?"
"I bet you won't go talk to the queen, I mean your peasant ass has no chance with her, but you've been staring at her all night."
"And like you haven't been doing the same with the princess? Oh wait, look at that, she's with a prince, so I guess you could say I have more of a chance than you do."
They start to bicker as they see the Queen speaking with the younger princess, who stands next to a tall, red-headed prince.
"Shut up Ares, you know you want to." As Bryn pushes his older brother towards the queen, an argument breaks out between her and the princess.
Ares turns to his brother, "Stop, listen... What's this about?"
The queen begins to step towards the door, as if she fears her sister will reveal something about her to the nobles. Queen Elsa screams "I said enough!" as she unleashes a powerful array of ice spikes, all across the floor in a u-shaped arc, but even her sister seemed surprised. A spike would have ripped through Bryn if it weren't for his older brother grabbing him and pulling him out of the way.
Ares and Bryn stare in disbelief, along with everyone else in the room. The younger one manages to mumble out an exasperated "What the fuck...?"
As the queen flees the room and runs off, Ares grabs Bryn and with his other hand pulls his hood over his head, "We need to find Alex."
Bryn stares the iconic eagle in the eyes, and begins to pull his own hood over his head, "Alright... Let's go."
As they make their way outside they stop in their tracks, in awe of the sight before them. Bryn puts his hand out to catch a snowflake in his hand, "It's July... How is this possible?" A hand grabs his shoulder from behind and he turns around to see Alex, "The fjord's frozen over. We all might be here awhile."
