Sora wandered through the halls, astounded by the enormity of it all. He felt like he was back at Disney castle, and he half expected to hear Donald and Goofy's voices again.

He missed them, a lot, but he knew the sooner that this "Master Test" was done, the sooner he'd see them, as well as Riku and Kairi again.

He had been so caught up in his own thoughts, he hadn't realized that he passed someone.

"Excuse me."

Sora spun around to the woman before him. She had her pure white hair in a braid around her head, with bright blue eyes that seemed too sharp for words. She had a cloak flowing behind her along with her dress. She examined him thoroughly.

"The guards have just opened up the gates," the lady said, "No one is supposed to be in the castle just yet."

"Oh, sorry," Sora answered, "I didn't know. I just kind of wandered in here."

The woman sighed, "Well, I suppose it doesn't matter anymore. What's your name? Where are you from?"

"I'm Sora," he said proudly, "And I'm from the Destiny Islands."

"Oh, the Southern Isles," the lady responded, "I thought they'd be coming today. Are you a Prince?"

"No," Sora said sheepishly, "I'm just a traveler. What's your name?"

She smiled warmly, "Goodness, you really are lost, aren't you? I'm Princess Elsa, and today is my Coronation. I...I'm going to be a Queen today."

"Whoa! A Queen?" Sora exclaimed, "You must be super excited!"

She giggled, but looked away sadly.

"Actually," she said, "I'm petrified. There are so many things that can go wrong, and with that creature on the loose, I..."

"Wait," Sora said, "Creature?"

"Yes. There's a monster that's been terrorizing small villages that neighbor Arendelle. And our best trackers have claimed that it's making its way here. It's almost like it's...hunting someone."

Sora grinned from ear to ear.

"Your majesty," he said, striking a pose, "Is today ever your lucky day!"

"What? You would face this monster? By yourself?"

"I've gotten pretty good at it," Sora bragged. "Taking down monsters is my specialty!"

The soon to be Queen looked surprised, "Y-you are familiar with these creatures?"

"Yes ma'am. They tend to flock towards the darkness in people's hearts."

"...I see."

The Queen thought for a minute, then nodded.

"Alright," she straightened her shoulders, "I hereby dub you an honorary guard of Arendelle, charged with defending the kingdom from giant monsters. Sir Sora, do you accept?"

Sora bowed, "yes ma'am!"

"And don't call me 'ma'am'. I'm a Queen, not a grandmother."

The comment took Sora by surprise. He laughed, and Elsa joined him in her own giggling fit.

After a minute, Elsa had remembered something important.

"Oh, one more thing," Elsa requested, "My sister, Anna, is undoubtedly enjoying the company of the people in the courtyard and the marketplace. If you happen to see her, please explain who you are and tell her to come back to the castle where it's safer."

Sora nodded. "You can count on me, your majesty!"

With that, he ran off towards an exit, and Elsa breathed a little easier.
