Mowgli sat up from the dirt ground he usually slept on, not disturbing the snores of his family. He timidly glanced down at his family surrounding him, or at least what he could see of them from the moonlight shining in through the cave. He slowly stood onto his feet and began to take huge strides across furry tails and lightly breathing bodies, until he had managed to kick any of them up until he was nearing the cave opening. His foot skidded lightly over a tail, and he flinched with worry. But the body didn't do much more than flinch, allowing Mowgli to step out of the cave swiftly and into the shine of the moonlight. He glanced at the watering hole near his sandy home and took a moment to admire the beauty of the white shine on the surface. It was so pale; rippling or sparkling with each gentle gust of wind and yet dark on the edges not touched by moonlight...

The young boy couldn't sleep apparently. He had sat awake for the first hours of the night, staring up at the ceiling of the cave in peace and making no sound. He hadn't snored once, he hadn't yawned once and he only closed his eyes when he blinked. It was actually rather frustrating to say the least, and Mowgli rubbed his scalp of dark hair with that frustration.

"Mowgli?"

The boy didn't turn around, hearing the feminine voice from the cave. How on earth did she always know he was up?

"Is something the matter? Upset stomach? Bad dreams?"

Mowgli shook his head calmly, looking up at the moon as he had before. He heard a light padding of footsteps, and from the corner of his vision he could see dark blue eyes gleaming from the darkness. "Then what keeps you up, my son?"

"I dunno..." He shrugged halfheartedly. "I just can't sleep."

"I see, little one..." The one he was speaking to raised her head to gaze at the moon too, and he could see the outline of her muzzle from the pale light." The moon is just like this...She became the moon because she wanted to be an object in the sky, shining brighter than any star and helping others see in the darkness. Sometimes she can stay up in the sky for weeks and maybe even end entire month. But sometimes...the moon gets tired from her restless actions, and so she rests with the sun on those nights, usually bringing darkness in her dissapearance."

He was obviously entertained by the tale, as evidenced by the small grin in his face. "It's a good thing you all can see at night, huh?"

His mother lightly chuckled at the remark. "Yes, I suppose so...If you're restless, you'll only be so for so long. You stay up this night, you may feel sleepy the next."

She yawned, and Mowgli saw her sharp teeth gleam in the moonlight. "Well...I suppose I'll join your father and brothers now."

"Okay...I won't be out long." Mowgli assured her, seeing the smile she gave before the figure trotted back into the cave. The young boy looked back up at the sky with a somewhat hopeful smile, thinking that perhaps some day he'd touch those stars. Perhaps it would be a ticklish feeling, or maybe he would discover the feeling as warm glow in his hands. Whatever way it felt, he knew that he wanted a star of his very own someday. That was when Mowgli took notice of the bright blue light that streaked across the sky at alarming speeds. His jaw dropped in shock; A star must have fallen out of the sky! But how? They were usually so well balanced up there in the air and never fell over. The little began to sprint across his 'front yard' and into the dense jungle that outlined their watering hole, leaping over shadowy trees and feeling wet moss beneath his soles. The boy briefly swung on a branch and glided over a deep river with a thankfully sleeping crocodile. He continued to run in the direction that the light had landed in, seeing the faintest sign of smoke against the night sky.

Finally, Mowgli found that the ground was slightly dug and he assumed that the burrowed ground was from the star that had fallen. He followed the deep trail and found the crater, the star nestled in the center. Oddly enough, the star didn't look like a star at all...it just looked like a very large blue rock that shined from the light of the moon. The little thought hard about the rock and guessed that maybe it was still the star, but it wouldn't shine unless he got it back in it's proper place. Which kind of made him sad since he wanted to keep the star as his own.

Mowgli reached down and placed his hands on the rock, intending to pick it up.


Elsa found that she particularly despised pedicures of all kinds; no matter how skilled the pedicurist was in their job.

Anna had convinced her big sister to come with her on a quest to fulfill every act on her to do list, despite Elsa's otherwise introverted plans for the day. It was still a blur to her really; when she was seated in her favorite reading chair and finishing the fifteenth chapter of a book about a love-struck dragon slayer, only for a lightning fast figure with red pigtails to come bolting into the room and rambling something about sister time. before Elsa could blink, she was out of the room and tugged unceremoniously down the stairs. By the time they got into a carriage, Elsa was trying to be stern about staying in the castle and reading her book. Then there was the puppy dog eyes look, Elsa finally relenting and then her doing what Anna wanted. They went to a park meant for toddlers, rented a boat to sail on the fjords for an hour or two, chased a pig Anna set free from a farmer who wasn't trying to kill it in the first place, and then sampled a dozen chocolate cake pieces. The most recent act committed by the two sisters was the pedicure, which was only pleasant for the princess. Elsa grunted and groaned every few seconds at the painful angles her foot was twisted or bent, and how they had to wash in every crevice and nook for her toenails before they finished with a red paint. that was the worst part; She was an ICE queen for heaven's sake! What business did red have being near a person of her sparkling blue color?

"That was Amazing Elsa!' Anna cheerfully exclaimed, which honestly made Elsa want to punch her right then and there. "I feel like a new woman already! I got my toenails painted purple! OOOH! I wish I had red like yours. You must love it so much!"

"Honestly, I don't."

"Aw, You're such a kidder big sis! Tee Hee!"

"I'm really not."

Anna either didn't catch that remark, or chose to ignore it by giving a blinding grin. "Now the next thing we have to do is get our hairstyles redone. I can't wait to see what I can do with these pigtails out of the w-"

"WAIT." Elsa said forcefully, grabbing her sister by the shoulders as fast as she could and staring intensely into her eyes. "You can drag me across all of Arendelle, torture my feet in that terrible shack you call a Spa, but I draw the line at my braid!"

"Oh come on, That style is so old!" Anna rolled her eyes. Elsa's eye twitched spastically. "You've had it for so long; You've gotta show people the new you!"

"There is no new me!" She responded defiantly. Elsa threw her arms in the air and briefly gestured around. "The only me is the one that hates being forced to go places she didn't want to go."

"Pfft, oh like you didn't wanna go-"

"No, I didn't! I couldn't even decide, what with you pushing me into the nearest building you could find! This is selfish, Anna! Even for you!"

Anna looked taken back by this and blinked in confusion. Moments later her eyes narrowed at the taller woman, crossing her arms over chest tightly. "...Excuse me, Ma'am! but you agreed to this! Weren't you the one rushing for the cake samples?"

"Because you would have taken off my arm if I hadn't moved."

"Okay, That was dramatic. You've really gotta Let it Go." Anna rolled her eyes and pleadingly smiled. "Now come on! That braid can be made into braids you knoooooow!"

"...you...It...I-It Doesn't matter!" Elsa huffed and turned on her bare heel sharply. She began to stomp away, forgetting to cast some icy heels to her feet and causing Anna to follow her hurriedly. "I'm going back home to read the rest my book and start ANOTHER one! You can stay out here and waste your share of the treasury for all i care.'

"What?! But you cant just leave me alone...,C-'moooooon!...Elsa...!" The princess' face softened to match her hurt tone, and Elsa felt a stab in her heart. She hadn't meant for things to sound like that...but Anna had reached her sister's boiling point in this matter. Still, The Queen was thankful she hadn't said anything that they couldn't come back from. " Come on...I...I'm sorry I dragged you around without...without your permission...R-Really..."

The crack in Anna's voice made Elsa freeze, and more in a physical manner. Reluctantly, The woman turned around to face the redhead with a worried and apologetic stare. Anna wasn't meeting her gaze and had instead decided to stare at the floor. "Anna...You're not crying are you...?"

"N-No..." The Princess answered despondently, sounding like a child that was denying her actions. She hadn't really cried at all; Elsa could tell when she lifted Anna's head by her chin. Those big blue orbs of her had only welled up with a few tears. "I just...You've been away for a while...You went on that trip overseas for half a week, and then when you got back you had to deal with southern isles and then the treaties...I just haven't been able to spend this much time with you in...weeks."

"Oh Anna...It hasn't been..." Elsa trailed off: It was actually true. From the calculations she did in her head, Elsa hadn't done anything more than chat briefly with her sister for two and 1/3 weeks...a fact which shook the blonde to her core. She'd made a vow since the Great thaw not to leave her sister alone socially or physically no matter what, but for the first time in forever she'd broken that promise. "...You can't apologize for this Anna...This involved business i had to take care of...I am a Queen after all, and i can't let this kingdom or you get hurt..."

"...I know..." Anna pouted up at her, and her sibling finally smiled.

"...but no matter how busy I am, I'll always be your sister. And I'll always have time for you." Elsa leaned down slightly, kissing her sister's forehead softly. Anna giggled at the family gesture and effectively dried up the oncoming tears. Elsa gave her sister an impish raise of the eyebrow coupled with a grin. "And I suppose we can do anything else you want aside from my braid."

"Well, we could shave your armpits."

Elsa glared.

"I'm just kidding! I'm just kidding!" The redhead giggled childishly and led her sister further from the pedicure place and down the street, still barefoot. The two walked past crowded areas filled with people and good and livestock and merchants from high places. there was the smell of pie in the air, and smoke and even some things that they couldn't describe. There were wooden stands over on the sidewalks, advertising jewelry and spices and animal furs to the public. But one stand caught Elsa's attention, and it was that was a very old looking stand with only one item and an old man snoring loudly behind it.

"Anna...Look at this." The snow queen pointed curiously at what appeared to be a huge ellipse gemstone of pure magenta. It was translucent to the point where they could see through the shine of light purple and spot the wood of the table below it. To the side of the stone was a note that boasted large black words: 'TRAVEL ANYWHERE YOU WANT IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE'.

"Wooooooooooooow..." Anna cooed, and reached out with a finger. "I'm gonna touch it."

"Don't!" Elsa lightly slapped the dainty hand away, before she hesitantly picked up the purple orb herself. It was light despite it's huge size, making it easier to look at close up. It didn't seem like she was actually going anywhere by touching the object. "Either this is broken...or it's Hoax."

" What's a Hoe- Axe?" Anna inquired and pulled off a very dumbfounded expression.

"Hoax means-"

Elsa had been their one second, blinking as she spoke. The next, Anna found that she had suddenly vanished. The Princess gasped in surprise at the sudden disappearance, worry already strangling her heart in a vice like grip. And then she was surprised that Elsa had not left empty space in her vanishing.

A little boy, wearing nothing but thick red underwear, stood there clutching the same exact stone.


"-anything believed to be real which is actuallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..."

Elsa's sentence faded away when she noticed her surroundings. For one, there was no Anna standing before her, only a view of her hands holding the stone and a location she could not begin to describe. It was obviously a forest of some type, but it was an alien forest to her; the trees for instance didn't stand straight up like the trees of Arendelle did, and the trees of her home certainly didn't have any moss covering almost all of the bark. The ground on which she stood barefoot was like a dirt road, yet with more emphasis on dirt and with a few bits of green plants. Some plants were bigger, and were obviously flowers if exotic persuasions, and others grew on tree bark. There were a few sounds of insects making distinct mating sounds, and a few bird calls from a bird that she did not know of at all. And, as she was a woman who had power because of knowledge(and magic), Elsa was suddenly afraid of this unknown world.

"B-but...?What the...? Th-This...?!" The snow Queen frowned in horror at the stone in her hands, and she promptly dropped it to the ground. Last thing she need was to end going somewhere else. "Aaaugh! Ohhhh...Oh Kay...Okay, Elsa...Just breathe...breathe..."

Elsa whirled around when she a heard a distant snap of a twig, her gaze centering on a large log leaning sideways against a huge tree. Standing defensively on the slope of the log was what she could only describe as a cat. A very large, sleek coated black cat with angrily narrowed yellow eyes and giant flexing paws that hid sharp claws. She'd heard of places outside of Arendelle, with cats this big that stalked pigs and sometimes humans. The memory of this made her heart race in a little less than eight seconds.

The giant predatory cat growled, a vibrating rumble in it's throat that blasted through the distance between them. It hopped down onto the floor with a threatening howl, before stalking towards her with angered intent. Perhaps this was a manner of the beast being territorial, and it wasn't hungry at all. These ideas faded away with the look sent at her, and The Queen twitched as if she was about to run.

I should probably run...yes, that sounds...wait. House Cats can already run faster than people as it is...I don't wanna how fast this thing can run, especially in an open place like this. Elsa took a wide step back and raised her hands defensively. The Panther still walked forward slowly...confirming how fast it could move if it needed to. I wouldn't last four feet without him catching up to me.. But I've never used my powers on a living thing before. I might hurt it beyond medical attention. Maybe I can scare I-

"What have you done with him, Woman?"

Now she feeling a bit confused. Did she see that panther's lips and jaws move a bit? Had she heard that cynical, intimidating and wise voice come from the panther's mouth? Had she gone mad?

"Well? Go on." The panther spoke again, growling a bit after that at Elsa.

Not that it mattered...For she had already fainted.


She didn't open her eyes when she first gained consciousness, nor did she move. Elsa laid wherever she believed herself to be and listened. The sounds were unfamiliar to her ears; like that chirp of the foreign bird that she remembered. How could she be hearing something like that so well?! She had only been dreaming after all...At she least she thought so. Her dreams never seemed as vivid as that dream did.

"...still not awake...?"

Now there was a voice, one she did not recognize at all. It sounded husky; impatient in more ways then one and oddly, It sounded like it was close to the ground. Aside from that last part it sounded like a father. The next voice she heard was vaguely familiar; something about the wise tone was recognizable to the young woman. "No...I thought she was dead when she suddenly...collapsed. It's so strange: How cold her skin is, and yet she breathes normally as you and I."

Elsa recalled the various occasions where she was told by Anna that her skin was 'as cold as an iceberg at the bottom of the ocean in the middle of a blizzard in the middle of the coldest part of winter'. Then again, Anna was drunk at the time and very much so.

"She had better use that breath to tell me where my cub..." The voice was closer, the light sound of a snarl being mixed within. She could smell breath just faintly; and she almost gagged. This breath smelled worse than Kristoff's at the end of the day. " I mean, where Mowgli is."

"In good time, Akela. He can't be far from here...that much should be true. " She heard a slow and soft padding, as if something on paws was walking just past her head. " Have ever seen a more peculiar...well,her?"

"No. She is not from the jungle obviously. I've never heard tale of their kind with looks such as this. Her fur is the only yellow fur I've seen in my life. Not to mention she smells...terrible."

And with that true remark, Elsa pouted just as her eyes opened just slightly. Her body instinctively moved backwards with aid of her hands and feet when she saw the owners of the voices: namely one shaggy furred wolf and one large panther. They too reacted instinctively by lowering their heads in their direction and baring their teeth. The glint of the sun didn't show on their canines, but instead illuminated how pointy they were. The woman gulped.

Thanks to her eyes darting around for any method of escape, Elsa realized that she was in a large cave made entirely of dirt it seemed. In a crudely humorous way there bones scattered around the room like decorations for a regular home would, adding another scary tone to the room. The panther and the wolf were blocking the only exit she could see; their bodies almost silhouettes from the sun outside the cave. It was odd enough that they could indeed speak, and Now they were...standing next to each other? cats and Dogs usually battle each other and don't unite to trap helpless Queens in caves.

"...I..." The woman began, and bit her bottom lip. She was going to talk with ANIMALS. "...Where a-am I?"

"You're mistaken." The panther declared lowly, padding forward just once. "We'll be asking you questions. You will-"

Spontaneously, her arms shot into the air just before currents of blue spewed from her palms. The surge of wind mixed with chilling snowflake twirled menacingly in front of the two animals. They took a step back and stared at the display of power with curiosity and a twinge of worry. Satisfied(and ashamed) of her show of strength, Elsa sucked the currents of blue air back into her palms as slowly as they had come. She inhaled through her nose, and exhaled loudly. "I am...I'm calm right now. And I've been taken to...wherever here is...and I'm talking to carnivorous animals."

A bit confused, the wolf and the panther exchanged wary glances.

"You...er, Y-You can tear me apart like I'm just some flimsy thing...And I can, e-even if I really don't w-want to, just give you both the frostbite of your lives..." Elsa closed her eyes briefly, swallowing and feeling as if her heart might explode. "Can w-we just talk for a sec? you know, in a non hostile way? You both look intelligent...not that I didn't think you were before..."

The wolf narrowed his eyes, fur still bristling in hostility. "Unless talking means you bringing back Mowgli, Then I will simply settle for tearing you apart."

Elsa completely missed the threat; her face scrunched with confusion. "Who is Mowgli? Is he a relative of yours?"

"...You really don't know who Mowgli is...?" The stoic panther seemed to be staring into her soul. The hostile stance was lost as he seemed to realize something. The wolf seemed to realize what his friend knew, yet he seemed angry to know it.

The animals received a suspicious stare. "No, Should I?"

The wolf growled softly, the way an irritated person would growl at bad luck. " Mowgli is more lost than he was to begin with."

"We will still find him, Akela." The Panther encouraged him strongly. "Eventually, we will find him."

"That's great!" Elsa herself was surprised at her sarcastic tone, so she kept it light. "Maybe it'd be faster finding him if youuuu...told me a bit about where I am and who you are?"

The two predators frowned at each other, the whiskers drooping briefly with their expressions. She watched at the panther moved his body back calmly, until he was sitting on his haunches the way a house cat would. His yellow eyes were half lidded, and focused on her without much intensity. "...My name is Bagheera. and you are in the Jungle."


AAAAAAAAAAAND that's it! that is the first chapter! I can continue, but the next chapter might be after I see the movie. Wouldn't want to stray too far from that plotline.
