01. Friends In Need

The valley shuddered, sending a light barrage of rocks tumbling down the forgotten amphitheater's moonlit steps. A wizened stone troll wearing a cape of moss knelt and pressed the palm of his grey four-fingered hand against the ground. Others of his kind gathered around him, whispering reassurances and uncertainties to each other.

The troll elder closed his eyes in concentration, worry creasing his brow.

"What was that, Grand Pabbie?" one of the on-lookers asked.

"Find Kristoff at once, and tell him we need Queen Elsa's help. The fire below is in motion," the old troll said gravely. Immediately, dozens of trolls curled up into their round rock forms and rolled off in many directions in search of their adopted human kinsman.

"Will everything be all right?" a young troll anxiously asked.

"It should. Something like this happened many, many centuries ago, and one with the powers of winter came to our aid," Grand Pabbie said. "I am sure Elsa will assist us this time."

"But she's never been back to visit, not even when Princess Anna comes with Kristoff," the youngster said.

"She has been busy being queen, but I am confident she will find the time for us," Grand Pabbie said.

The valley shuddered again.

Author's Note - I know mainland Norway doesn't have a volcano; you know mainland Norway doesn't have a volcano. But in the movie, the Valley of the Living Rock certainly has some kind of geothermal activity going on. Just roll with it.
