Hello this story is going to take place after Frozen (obvious because of the summary I know). Jack Frost will not have met the guardians leaving him in his original lonely state. He will be 170 years old. I was going to have him originally be 300 yrs old since that is when we see the most of his personality. After I put more thought into the story having him younger made more sense.

There will be some new and old faces in this fan fiction.

Also there will be some surprise twists to the powers (I am not making any drastic changes just some add-ons I figure would work for their characters).

Eidetic memory:

Commonly referred to as photographic memory or total recall, is the ability to recall images, sounds or objects in memory with great precision

Chapter 2

Forgotten Treasures

*1 year after frozen. In the beginning of winter

Third person pov

Elsa wondered why she always had to wake up like this. Like Anna she woke up with hair like a birds nest and half way to being awake. Looking outside she saw that there was a heavy snowfall and she quickly got dressed so she could meet Anna for breakfast. As she went through the halls she hoped that she had not slept in too late for breakfast. As she walked into the dining room she saw Anna sitting at the table eating breakfast. "Good morning Anna" Elsa stated. Anna said "Morning. Kai already took the liberty of setting out your breakfast for you." Elsa began to eat her breakfast, chatting with her sister about what was going on in the village, some of the people they've met, and the nearby kingdoms.

Anna looks outside and remarks "Looks like that snowfall just got worse. Elsa, could you maybe change the weather a bit? I wanted to go down to that new restaurant that opened up for a date night with Kristoff. " Elsa smiled at that thought. Kristoff and Anna had married in the spring just under a year of the Great Thaw. Though marrying someone you've known for nearly a year wasn't unusual. Elsa couldn't help but feel that maybe they should have waited for longer. Although she was wondering if maybe she felt that way because she was jealous of what they had.

"Sorry Anna, but I'm not going to interfere. It's best if nature sorts itself out."

Anna pouted" Fine I guess we'll have to think of something else to do." Anna said "Wait a minute why don't we go through our old baby things today. We've been talking about using some of our old things for our kids." Elsa stated "Your kids Anna, I don't see myself having any at the moment." Anna smirked "That's because you don't have anyone lined up yet. Even though you still have received letters from eligible bachelors that have asked to court you."

"Please Anna. Those bachelors as you put them would only marry me for political reasons. There is no love in them." Elsa said. "Though I wouldn't mind going through some of our old things again" Anna smirked "Alright then we'll make a day of it"

"Make a day of what?" Kristoff asked as he, Olaf and Sven entered the dining room. When they sat down at the table Anna said "I wanted to go through some of our old things to see if there is anything we'd like to use" Kristoff smirked "Ok then. Sven and I have enough ice in storage for the winter months so I can have a day off today. I'll join you guys." Elsa turned to Olaf "What about you do you have any plans?" Olaf bubbled "Well I was going to go down into the village but this snow storm is preventing that. So I'll join you guys too."

"Your majesties, the mail for today has arrived." Kai announced

Elsa putting on her serious face asked "What do we have today Kai?"

"Nothing much today fortunately just some requests from neighboring kingdoms for some cloaks, ice, things like that and another request for a new trade agreement from the duke of Weselton. Shall I give him our usual response Queen Elsa?" Elsa said "Yes you may Kai." In one swift movement Kai threw the letter from the duke into the fire. "Ah, it appears there seems to be a letter specifically for you and Anna your majesty." With that said Kai handed the letter to Elsa to open and left the room.

Elsa opened the letter and read it. When she was finished Elsa said excitedly "Anna! Jacob's coming back!" Anna surprised asked "What?! Let me see that letter!" Elsa handed the letter to Anna who read over it quickly. She screamed "Yes, Jacob coming back. This great! It'll be so good to see him again." "It would be even better for the rest of us if we knew who you two were talking about." Kristoff stated. Anna startled "Didn't we ever tell you guys about Jacob?" When Anna received three shacking heads she babbled "Well Jacob he's family, well technically he isn't but he is you know." Kristoff turned to Elsa "Would you mind starting us off Elsa? Anna seems to be too excited about this."

Elsa began "Jacob…..he was there for us when we couldn't be there for each other. When I isolated myself from Anna I felt lonely. Even with mom and dad trying to keep me company it just wasn't enough. Jacob… he knew of my gift. When our parents were busy, Jacob would sometimes visit me on his spare times and we'd just talk or play games. It was nice having someone else around. After all you can't tell everything to your parents, some things you have to keep a secret from them. "

Anna replies "Yeah, Jacob was like an uncle to us. Sometimes when I was young we'd have tea parties in my room or he'd help me with my homework." Anna sighs with frustration "I would have struggled with some of my projects without his help."

"Yeah, he helped me with my school work too." Elsa replied

Olaf says "He must mean a lot to you guys." Anna says "He does. Besides our parents, he was the only person was really there for us as a friend. Well he used to be."

Kristoff asks "What do you mean he used to be?"

Elsa says "He wasn't just close to us. Regardless of his position as a servant he was a close friend to mother and father. When they…died, Jacob was just as heartbroken as we were. He did his best to comfort us but there was only so much he could do."

Anna says "About 8 months after they were lost at sea…. Jacob left us."

Olaf questioned sadly "You mean he died?"

Anna turns to Olaf and nearly shouts "What?! No! He didn't die, he just…. got up and left the castle. "

Kristoff asks "Why did he leave? Did he give you any reason to why he left?"

Elsa sighs "No he never told us why he was leaving. He said that he needed to do some traveling for a while, but I don't think that was the real reason for his departure."

"Your majesties"

Everyone turns to face Gerda "A guest has come to castle. I have informed him to wait in the throne room for you Queen Elsa."

"Thank you Gerda. Did he give you his name?" Elsa asks. "No your majesty, he did not." Gerda replied

"Well then let's go meet this mystery guest of ours." Kristoff says.

Anna says "You guys go ahead. Elsa and I have to go make ourselves presentable."

Olaf asks "Aren't you guys already presentable?"

Anna scoffs "Presentable for family and friends, but not for a guest visiting the castle. You never know, it might be a suitor for Elsa." Elsa rolls her eyes at Anna "Honestly Anna if it were up to you I would marry the first man I met." At her sisters response Anna face change from excited to shock. At this Gerda takes this as her cue to leave whispering only loud enough for Olaf and Kristoff to hear "Huh. We almost made two months without bring that up. It must be a new record." Kristoff stands from his seat and looks to Olaf and Sven "Come on you guys let's let them get ready and see who this guy is." They as they left Olaf looked back to see a glaring contest going on between the two sisters.

Kristoff pov

We walked down the hall leaving the girls to themselves since they required 'preparations' for our guest. As we walked we each talked about who this guest might possibly be. I insisted that it had to be the head of the merchant's guild since they were always trying to get on Elsa's good side so that they may benefit from it. Sven wanted it to be a nearby farmer because they were always kind enough to bring him some carrots.

"Maybe it's someone who brought the last flowers of summer or maybe it's someone who needs warm hugs." Olaf suggested

"You really like warm hugs don't you Olaf" Kristoff wondered

"Yeah it's my favorite thing in the world. Oh no wait my favorite thing is summer. Or it could be you guys" Olaf stated. As we drew closer to the door to the throne room, Olaf finished with "Well we'll find out who this guy is in a minute"

I opened the door the door to see the large throne room which was always polished and kept clean by the palace servants. They have always kept this room clean, even when I couldn't find I single spot in it. Well I'm not one to get in the way of what people felt was necessary for their job. Out of the corner of my eye I saw our guest.

This mystery guest turned out to be a man. He appeared to be a man in his late 50's, clean shaven and with the face of someone who knows a little bit of hard work. As we came near him I found that even though he was as built as I was, I actually had to look up to see his face. He had a dark blue long coat on and a vest to match. His pants were a dark gray that gave the appearance that he had come a long way to come to the castle.

"Well, well here are some unfamiliar faces around here." The guest said.

"Seems like you the unknown one here" Kristoff added

This had earned a chuckle from our guest, who began to circle me like a shark. "So you must this Kristoff that I heard so much about." He remarked. "From what I hear you're an ice harvester are you not?" In normal circumstances I would hear a sentence like that from one of these 'nobles' of the court. Usually they meant it in a mocking tone as if to indicate that I was lower than them. This guy though, there wasn't any contempt in his words it was simply a question. "Yes I am"

He was now standing right in front of me. I was trying (and failing) not to be intimidated by this guy. This guy knew how to make it seem like he was huge and the person he was facing small. This guy was pushing me, trying to figure me out. "From what I hear you seem to be selfless, kind and rather protective over those who you care about. Is that right?" Using every speck of bravery and willpower I had, I asserted "Of course I would. I would do everything I could do to protect the ones I love."

It seemed like my conviction actually amused him began because he had a smile on his face. This annoyed me even more. What surprised me was that he then dropped his guard and said "Good. I was worried Anna had married someone who didn't have a good heart. It appears though that this certain someone is actually going to take care of her."

This guy actually seemed like he was he cared for Anna. "Now look here buddy. I don't know who are or who you think you are, but let me make this clear to you. I don't appreciate being pushed around and I especially don't like people questioning my morals. Just who are you anyway?"

"Ah my apologies my name is….."

"Jacob?"

I turned to see Anna and Elsa standing in the door way with their jaws practically hanging on the ground. I didn't know what to think from what I heard from them this guy was supposed to be sweet and caring. This guy gave me the impression that he would crush me given the chance. I glanced towards him to see his face soften.

"Hello, it's good to see you both again" The man known as Jacob said.

Elsa and Anna then ran towards us and when they got to us they gave him a group hug. As if he was a long lost relative of theirs. Olaf piped in "Wait a minute. This is the guy you were telling us earlier?" Exiting from their group hug, Elsa confirmed "Yes, this is Jacob"

Now this guy made sense. What they told us this guy was like family to them, it looked like it was a feeling that went both ways. Then somewhere in my mind it clicked. How this guy was treating me was like how a father would act around a boy that his daughter brought home. He wanted to see if I was right for Anna. 'Well since he's technically family his behavior towards me is appropriate I guess' I thought.

Anna asks "What are you doing here so soon? Your letter said you would be here in a couple of days"

Jacob questioned "What, it only got here today? I sent that thing ages ago. I guess some things never change, particularly our postal service."

Anna asks "Anyway, what have you guys talked about till we came in?"

Jacob answers "Nothing particular. I was merely sizing this one up. When I heard you had a husband who was an ice harvester I decided that I would come and see just who he was."

Anna came over to me and wrapped her arms around mine saying "Oh Jacob you didn't have to do that. I'm happy with Kristoff. I love him." I gave her arm a loving squeeze to show him that she meant just as much to me as I did to her. What he said next though threw me off. "What happened to waiting for Prince Charming?"

Anna declared with unhidden contempt "HA! I met Prince 'Charming'. He turned out to be a real as…'

"Language Anna. A princess does not swear, unless it is to an oath." Jacob said sternly. He leaned forward and threatened "Or is it necessary for me to wash your mouth with soap like the old days?" This caused Anna to let go of my arm and try to hide behind me as if to use me as a shield. She stammered "No, no, no, no. Its fine I don't swear, honest."

Jacob relaxed and said "Good." Jacob turned to me and responded "When I became responsible for dealing out the punishments I always made sure that they were memorable. Always broke my heart a little bit to do so." I confessed "I suppose we all have to do things we don't like for the ones we care about." Jacob nodded in agreement "My most sincere apologies for the way I acted earlier Kristoff. My actions were uncalled for to say the least." Jacob apologized.

Kristoff conceded "Don't worry about it. I should have seen something like this coming when I meet a member of Anna's family. Though I have to admit, you aren't exactly what I expected from what they told us about you."

Jacob replied "Ah they talked about me. Hopefully it wasn't anything bad.

Anna answered "We wouldn't say anything bad about you Jacob"

Jacob said "Oh really? Well since we are travelling down memory lane, did they ever tell you three about their first taste of chocolate?"

Anna begged "Oh come on that's not fair. Don't tell them about that."

Olaf questioned "What are you guys talking about?"

Jacob said "I was the one to introduce them to their first chocolate when they were young. When they first ate their bit of chocolate I knew that it instantly became their new favorite thing. Sadly they noticed that I was holding a box that contained even more of them. When they finished their first piece they nearly tackled me to the ground just to get the rest of the box." This had earned a snicker from me, Olaf and Sven just from the thought of the two of them trying to overcome Jacob just for some chocolate.

Elsa said "Really now Jacob you make it sound as if we were a couple of bulls" Jacob divulged "When it comes to you two and chocolate, I see little difference between either parties. Especially considering the way the two of you chased me through these halls whenever I had chocolate in my arms." Forget snickering, the thought of the two little girls chasing this mountain of a man through the halls had us in stiches. Anna pleaded "Can we please change the subject?" Taking it as our cue, we suppressed our laughter and decided to keep that memory in our minds for later.

Elsa agreed "Agreed Anna. So what brings you back to the castle anyway Jacob?" Jacob answered "I was hoping to obtain a servants position at the castle. If you wish to give me a low level position I would under…." Anna interrupted "Oh that won't be necessary." Elsa agreed "You were the best head servant we've had, so it only makes sense to give it back to you." This had earned a smile from Jacob. "Thank you Elsa" He replied.

Elsa said "Well I better go fill out the paper work to make it official and the work for the other files. We're going to go through our old baby things today. Jacob you go see Kai and he'll get you set up. As for the rest of you if you would go ahead and go to the room we had refurbished that would be great."

Third person pov

An hour has pasted since their reunion with Jacob. Anna looked up from her book to look out the window only to see the blizzard still blowing with a fury. Anna sighed and thought "Of all the rooms the castle why did we have to meet up in the room I almost died in." Though this was the same room Anna had insisted that they change the furniture. Along with a table and chairs near the window the servants had added in and another sofa was faced parallel to each other so that they may face a carved mahogany table that Kristoff had bought from a merchant in town. Anna smiled at the memory of Kristoff getting the table. They had paid a decent price in her opinion but all the while bringing it back to the castle Kristoff repeatedly insisting that the merchant was a crook.

Though Anna stated to Elsa that she felt the room needed to be cozier, the real reason was she wanted little reason to associate the room with what happened a year ago. She could still hear Hans's cold voice speaking of his plans for her and her sister. "Someone who could easy speak of killing someone and faking love for someone else has to be a real monster" Anna thought. She hated the reoccurring feeling of despair and brokenness she felt when she learned the truth. That it came back when she was in this room alone.

"I can't believe it."

Anna turned to see Kristoff and Olaf playing chess, while Sven was sitting near the fireplace like a cat. "I can't believe I'm losing at a game of chess to a snowman that only picked it up a week ago." Kristoff stated with his head in his hands. "Yeah it is strange. At first I only wanted to play since the pieces were so pretty." Olaf said. Kristoff shot Olaf a glare and looked at the board. After a moment Kristoff face contorted in a smirk and he moved a piece on the board "HA! I got your knight!" Kristoff proclaimed. Olaf looked at the board and made his move. "I got your queen Kristoff." Olaf stated in a mocking tone swinging the piece in front of Kristoff face. Kristoff shouted in disbelief, causing Anna to chuckle.

Olaf looked over to Elsa and his face brightens as if in realization. "Hold on a minute Kristoff" Olaf said as he left his chair and hoisted himself on the couch beside Anna. He then lifted Anna off the couch and above his head announcing "NOW I have your queen!" This caused Anna to burst out laughing and had earned a chuckle from Kristoff. Sadly Anna leaned a little too far to the side causing Olaf's arms to come off from his body and her to land on the other side of the couch.

"You okay Olaf?" Anna asks

"Yeah. Can I have my arms back? My back itches." Olaf inquired

"Sure Olaf." Anna said as she reattached his arms. "I guess even though there are bad memories in this room there is still a chance to make some good ones" Anna thought as Olaf used one of his arms as a backscratcher. "Hey, you guys having fun without me." Anna turned to see Elsa standing in the door way. "Hey you made it." Anna replied. Elsa sighed "No thanks to all that paperwork." Kristoff asked "What was it this time? Did the merchant guild ask for a tax decrease again?" Elsa smiled and said "Not this time Kristoff. I'll tell you guys about it later. For now we have boxes to go through."

Kai, Gerda and Jacob entered the room each with a box of their old baby things. They each went through the boxes, looking at their old clothes and toys remarking whether or not they could use them. This took a lot longer than thought because with almost every dress or toy came a story. When they finally went through most of the boxes the clock struck three. Jacob asked "Ah midafternoon already is it? Well then how does some tea sound for everyone?"

"Yes please Jacob" Elsa replied "Oh" Anna said "Could you grab some of the chocolate chip cookies from the pantry Jacob?" Jacob replied as he left "The day you don't have chocolate sometime of the day is the day I will genuinely be concerned Anna" Anna shouted after Jacob "Hey we've cut back a lot."

Kristoff spoke up "Leave it be Anna. He's right, you guys like chocolate more than should be allowed." Before Anna could retort a loud thump was hear from the hall along with a grunt of frustration. "Mr. Bjorgman, would you mind giving me a hand with this?" Kai asked from the hallway. Kristoff got up and exited the room and returned with Kai carrying a medium sized chest. The two of them placed it on the table with a grunt, indicating that the chest was by no means light. The chest was unlike any the group had seen before. The body of the chest was made of metal with the exception of the edges. They seemed to be covered in some kind of white crystal. Upon closer inspection there was a worn symbol above the lock that appeared to be….a snowflake?

"Where did that chest come from?" Elsa asked. Anna Kneeled down in front of it and said "Yeah I don't recognize this chest from our childhood Elsa" Elsa turned to Kai and asked "Where did you find it?"

"I found it in the back of the storage room with your baby things your majesty. It took me a couple of minutes to clean up. It was covered in dust and cobwebs. If I had to guess it hasn't been touched in years." Kai concluded. Olaf asked "How did you bring it up? By the sounds of things you had some trouble with it." Kai sighed "If this was the ONLY thing I had to carry up the many flights of stairs I would have made it by myself."

Kristoff moved over to the chest and attempted to open the chest only to find it locked. Kristoff turned to Kai and asked "Hey would you would you have the key to this thing?" Kai nodded and withdrew a large ring of keys and moved to the chest. The servant had tried key after key only to find that none of them had fit the lock. Kai remarked with a look of confusion "I don't understand I have every key to every lock of this castle. I should have the key!" Elsa placed a hand on Kai shoulder and said "It's ok Kai. You tried your best". Kai fretted "But I should have the key, ever since you entrusted this responsibility to me I've kept every key on me at all times."

Kristoff pondered "I don't know if it was that far back in the storage room it's possible that the key has been lost." The thought of this caused Kai face to fall. "Let us worry about it Kai. You have other things to attend to." Anna said. Kai nodded and left the room all the while grumbling about failing in his duty.

When Kai left the room silence had descended upon the group. They looked at the strange chest wondering why they didn't have the key and what exactly was inside. Olaf broke the silence asking "Hey Elsa, why don't you make a key out of ice? I bet you could do it!"

They looked towards Elsa with hope in their eyes. Sadly Elsa had a frown on her face looking at the chest and sighed. She explained "If I knew what the key looked like I could do it but if we had the key we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place". Elsa looked up to them and admitted "To answer your other question no I wouldn't be able to make a key from scratch. There were never any books on key making in the castle library. I wouldn't even know where to begin."

Olaf inquired "Well if we can't make a key, why don't we pick the lock?"

Anna looked at Olaf and questioned "Where did you learn about lock picking Olaf? We never taught you about something like that."

Olaf answered "I heard some guys down in the town talking about picking a lock in order to get into some building. When I asked them what that was, they told me right there." The others in the room looked at each other in worry. Silently they agreed that they shouldn't press any further on this, considering Olaf could have potentially overheard a crime being planned. While Elsa thought that she should send some of the guards into the town to inquire about this.

Kristoff admitted "I never picked up something like that. There was never any need to and I doubt you girls would know something like that." The girls nodded in agreement wondered what they could do. Finally Elsa groaned "I guess there is nothing we can do." Anna agreed "Yeah it seems so. Well we can take it to the blacksmith but he's probably closed by now."

Kristoff remarked "We can take it in tomorrow. It's a beautiful chest, seems a shame to have it broken into. The crystal will probably get wrecked in the process."

While they were all standing around the chest they heard from the hallway "Tea's here." Jacob proclaimed. He entered the room without looking at the group and he immediately made way to the table on the other side of the room. As he walked over to the table he bumped into the chess board knocking the pieces on to the ground. While Jacob apologized for his actions Olaf whined "Aw I was winning" Kristoff retorted "Ha. Better luck next time buddy. Here I let me give you a hand J…." Anna shushed him and indicated him to watch.

As the group looked at Jacob he picked up every piece from the floor and placed exactly on the board as it was before. Olaf hung his mouth in astonishment while Kristoff stammered "That's amazing you put every piece where it was before" Elsa stated "Jacob here is one of the few people in this world that have an eidetic memory. He can remember everything that ever happened in his life. He once told me about one of his days as a child. He recollected details like what he had for breakfast, what he wore and even what the weather was like."

"It's nothing special Kristoff they're just memories after all" Jacob said as he poured the tea. "Come on; don't let the tea get cold on you now." They each grabbed a cup of tea and settled into the sofa while Jacob was setting some fresh cookies on a plate from them to eat. "So what have you found in those boxes Anna? Anything you can use?" Anna looking at the chest replied "Yeah, we'll be able to use some of our old things. I wish we could open up this old chest though." Jacob with his back to them puzzled "Chest? I don't recall either of you two having any chest."

The group was then startled by the sound of shattering glass and looked towards Jacob. Jacob had dropped the platter with the pot of tea and the cookies. With a look of horror plastered on his face Jacob stammered "Wh….at…..where did it…No. It doesn't matter. I'll go put the chest back."

Elsa stepped in front of him and claimed "You know something about this chest don't you Jacob. What is in this chest?" Jacob stepped around her and said "It doesn't matter I'll go put it back" Anna stepped in front of him and declared "Jacob you obviously know something about this chest. What is so important about this chest?"

Jacob tried to get around Anna, proclaiming "I will not say. I made a promise to your parents and I will not speak of it. Now please stand aside" Elsa stormed "What promise?! What are you not telling us Jacob?!" While the three of them were arguing with one another Olaf had noticed that there was something of interest around Jacob's neck and motioned to Sven to get it. While Jacob eyes were on the two princesses Sven quickly moved on him and tore what Olaf had indicated off his neck. When Jacob had noticed he tried to retrieve it and Sven retaliated by throwing it to Kristoff out of Jacob's reach.

When he caught it Kristoff claimed "Well, well look at what we have here." Kristoff held up a key that had a snowflake that matched the one above the chests lock. Anna accused Jacob "You had the key?" Jacob turned away from Anna to avoid her gaze. "What is in the chest?" Elsa demanded. Jacob's silence only served to fuel her frustration "I am the Queen of Arendelle Jacob! Now tell us what is in that chest?!"

Jacob looked her in the eyes and spoke with conviction "Open it and see for yourself." This admittedly was the last thing she expected to hear after all the fuss he made before. Anna then voiced what was on everyone's mind at that moment "Why?"

Jacob then looked at the chest in a faraway gaze and conceded "Though your parents made me promise never to tell either of you of…this." Jacob gestured to the chest "They never made me vow to stop you from finding out. In my personal opinion…..they never should have kept this from either of you. That is why I will not stop you from opening the chest now that you have the means to."

After a moment Kristoff moved towards the chest and unlocked the chest. When he opened the chest Kristoff remarked "Well I didn't expect this." At this everyone looks inside to see what is there. Within the chest there are three boxes in total. The first box a small one, the second one was about the size of a forearm, and the final one was a decorative box that looked to be a present for someone.

Elsa turned to Jacob and asks "Do you know what these are for Jacob?" Jacob nodded and gestured for them to sit. When they were seated Jacob withdrew the first box and gave it to Anna. Hesitant about the box Anna looked towards Jacob whom gave her a reassuring nod. Anna lifted the top of the box up and her eyes showed surprise and confusion. She lifted from the box a…..rattle.

This rattle wasn't like your ordinary rattle. Rattles are usually made out of wood or metal but this one was made ice. The toy had patterns racing up along the handle that spiraled when coming to the head of it. The pattern of it was comparable to a snow fall. When Anna shook the rattle it created a beautiful sound. It sounded like the bells of the Arendelle choir that they had used for their Christmas pageants. For some inexplicable reason the mere sound of the rattle had erased any emotions they felt before and replaced them with pure joy.

Anna cooed "Kristoff this would be perfect for our kids. I sure they will love this. Here take a look." Anna hands the rattle to Kristoff and he began to inspect it with great interest. Olaf inquired "So what in the other boxes?" Jacob then rose from his seat and grabbed the larger box and handed it to Elsa. Losing no time Elsa removed the top to reveal what lied within.

What the box held was what appeared to be was a Viking horn and to their surprise it too was made of ice. Rather than the pattern of the rattle, the horn took on a different style. The horn had a smooth finish with a frost like pattern running up it from end to end. "What an odd thing to find" Elsa remarked smiling "Well it's still beautiful." Anna gasped "Look Elsa there's and inscription on it." Elsa turned the horn over and confirmed that there was an inscription on it. Elsa read out loud.

When you find yourself in need of salvation

Lost in a blinding storm of isolation

For you to be found

The horn you must sound

When Elsa was finished the inscription silence had descended upon the group as they had tried to comprehend the meaning of those words. Olaf broke the silence questioning "Why would someone inscribe that on the horn?" Anna mused "I think the more accurate question would be 'why would Elsa inscribe that on the horn?'"

Elsa asked "Why do you think I made the horn Anna? It could have been anyone."

Anna explained "Oh come on Elsa it had to be you. 1) They are made of ice. 2) They are beautiful like your ice castle. 3) They haven't melted yet; any other ice would have melted by now. You heard Kai; no one's touched that chest in years. You probably made these things and our parents must have hidden them away like they tried to hide your power."

"Yeah you're probably right" Elsa conceded, placing the horn on the table. "No, this is not your ice." Kristoff chimed in. All eyes in the room were now focused on Kristoff whom had been so engrossed in the rattle that he barely glanced at the horn. "What?" Elsa asks.

Kristoff clarifies "This can't be you ice Elsa. From what I can tell from your ice and the ice the horn and rattle are made from, I can safely say that you never made these things."

Anna argues "Oh come on Kristoff. You're being silly."

"Hey, I am an ICE HARVESTER. I know my ice; I know the differences in ice." Kristoff asserted

"Elsa, would you mind giving be a sample of your ice to compare" Kristoff asked. Elsa nodded and created a block of ice that Kristoff could hold in his hand. Kristoff then placed the rattle on the table with the sample of ice in between the rattle and horn. Kristoff began "Look the ice Elsa gave me is like any other ice I've seen her make. It's clear like glass, there aren't any impurities or air bubbles in it and the color is more bluish then ice normally is." Kristoff then gestured to the items beside the samples. "But these pieces are completely different. If I was to compare with anything I know it would be the ice I harvest from the lake or even frost on a window. Heck, even the color is more of blue and white. It's not Elsa's ice any way I see it."

"Please Kristoff, we've seen Elsa make different kinds of ice." Anna said. "Try to replicate the rattle Elsa. After all you're the only one that could do it." Though Elsa was hesitant, she obliged just to see if she was capable of this. In a swirl of magic she tried to replicate the rattle only to create a similar rattle but the designs, transparency, sound and color were not the same. Thawing the ice she tried again. Elsa tries again and again to create to create the rattle only to each time only be able to copy the shape of it and not come close to the original design of the rattle. In her frustration Elsa exclaims "Why can't I do this if made them in the first place?!"

"You are not capable of copying the item because you never any of them" Jacob said. The group turned to him. Jacob had not spoken a word when he had begun to hand out the boxes he merely watched as the events unfolded. Anna questioned "Well if Elsa didn't make the rattle or the horn then who did?" This caused Jacobs to speak with unmasked irritation "As I have said before I cannot tell you anything."

Elsa pleaded "Jacob please if these items were made with magic then I wish to know who made them."

Jacob admitted "I wish I could tell you something."

Anna having enough said "Why can't you tell us anything? Is it because of this silly promise" Jacob suddenly slams his hands against the table and booms "I CAN'T TELL YOU BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER!" Everyone in the room was in shocked silence. Kristoff looked over toward the girls. It was obvious to him that Elsa and Anna have never seen Jacob be this angry in their time with him. That was something that concerned Kristoff. That maybe they pushed him too far with what was in the chest. Then Jacob with a look of shame in his eyes slumps back into the sofa. "I can't remember" Jacob whispers.

Olaf said "But Anna and Elsa said you can remember everything"

Jacob says "Though I can remember almost everything that has happened to me. When it comes to that person I can't remember him. I can't remember his face, what he did, or even where he lived. I can't even remember his name."

This had shocked the girls to their core. Whenever they had forgotten something they could always depend on him to remember for them. Now this same man had confessed to them that he could not remember something when it was of importance. They could tell that this upset him because it seemed as if it was a great shame to him. As if he wished to forget that he had forgotten something.

Elsa asks "Jacob, you said you can't remember what he looked like or his name right?" Jacob gives a slight nod. "Do you remember anything about him at all? Like what he was like, any key details?" Jacob mumbled "Even if I did I am bound by my promise not to tell you anything."

Anna pointed out "Jacob. The world is not like our parents feared the people of Arendelle love Elsa for her power. She doesn't have to hide who she is. She isn't a monster to them. They love her and respect her for her. Please Jacob you said yourself that you feel that this shouldn't have been kept from us. Please tell us something." Jacob was silent for a long moment, Anna's words weighing down on him. He felt conflicted because the ones that are meant to be protected with that promise are urging him to go against it. Their parents believed that whatever they did, they did for the protection of their children. Finally he said "Ok. I'll tell you what I know"

Elsa asked "Who was this person like?"

Jacob began "I can't remember much. But he always carried a staff with him" Olaf interrupted "Oh like merlin." Kristoff commented "Merlin didn't exist." Olaf countered "But magic exists. Maybe he was a wizard." Elsa quickly shushed them gestured for Jacob to continue

"He was young but…very old as well. When he visited he would often make Elsa's lessons into games so that you would have fun doing them." Jacob said.

"You mean like my geography classes" Elsa questioned.

"No, not those lessons. He never interfered with your education" Jacob answered. Elsa raised her eyebrow in confusion. Jacob conceded "When you were young, you really only used your power to make snow or ice fall around you. Your power kept growing, it became more….wild. He taught you how you could control and use your power. Like how to make a snowball… you used to have trouble with that…I think. So you two would have a snowball fight as a lesson"

Anna asks "Do you remember anything else?" Jacob pinched the brow of his nose and grunted, as if he was struggling to remember. Jacob said "He always smiled but his eyes…they seemed so sad." Jacob sighed and ended "I'm sorry but that's all I can remember. I wish I could tell you more." The group was then crestfallen. They had hoped for more. What Jacob had said only gave them a rough idea of who this person was. It seemed as if he was important to the sisters. This information only brought up more questions for them. Who was this guy really? Why did their parents see fit to keep him a secret from them?

Olaf then stated "Do either of you remember this guy. If he's sad maybe a warm hug would cheer him up" Anna replies "No I don't recall ever hearing about someone like that in the castle. Not from mom or dad or even the palace servants. What about you Elsa, do you remember this guy?" It was obvious to the group though that Elsa was struggling to remember and when she responded it was with disappointment. "No. I don't remember him at all from my childhood."

Olaf guessed "Well if this guy was magical maybe he used his magic to remove your memories. It would explain Jacob's lack of." Kristoff asked "If he was capable of doing something like that why would he do it?" Olaf shrugged at this.

Anna questioned "How long was this guy around Jacob?" He sighed and said "He first came to us when Elsa was just turning 4 and was around until about a year before the incident" Kristoff inquired "What incident?" Jacob said "The incident that drove your would-be step parents to separate their daughters." Kristoff remembered what he was talking about. The Elsa had divulged to them what had caused Anna and Elsa to be driven apart some months ago. Looking over to the sisters he saw Anna trying to comfort Elsa who had never truly forgiven herself for what happened. Kristoff inquired "You said he was around when Elsa was 4 and a year before the incident. Why hasn't he been around since after that?" Jacob replied "I do not know why. He just….didn't show up one year." For a man who they did not know the girls had begun to worry. What if something had happened to him? After all they remembered how the people first reacted when Elsa's powers were revealed.

Olaf states "Hey maybe we can call him"

Everyone turns to Olaf and Elsa asks "What do you mean?" Olaf clarifies "Your horn, the inscription says when you use it you can be found. Blow it and maybe he will come back." Elsa said exasperated "Olaf, I don't think the inscription is meant to be taken literally. Besides it's just a horn he would have to within the limits of the castle to hear it."

Olaf continues "He has a staff, he's probably magical he'll likely hear it." Kristoff points out "Just because someone has a staff doesn't make him magical" Olaf countered "Then how do you explain the snow lessons huh" Kristoff countered "He probably figured out how to help her. Anyone could do that"

Anna said "Well it couldn't hurt. Besides I want to hear what it sounds like." "Yeah Elsa, come on blow it" Olaf encouraged. Dubious about the Olaf's argument Elsa reluctantly lifted the horn to her lips and blew the horn. The sound the horn made was a low haunting sound that you would expect from a Viking horn. When she stopped blowing the sound had continued to reverberate within the castle halls. As if the air itself wished for the sound to never end. Then just as it came, the sound within the halls had died. When the sound was gone Olaf ran around the room and even went looking down the halls. Olaf got back up the sofa and stated "Well that's disappointing."

Kristoff questioned "What you were expecting? That he would appear out of thin air and say 'hi haven't seen you guys in a while. How have you been?'" Olaf asked "Yeah, why?" This had earned an eye roll from the sisters. Kai entered the room grabbing their attention. Kai announced "Supper will soon be served your majesties"

Elsa stated "Come one, I'll tell you guys about the ball were planning over supper." Anna shouted excitedly "A ball? Where having a ball?"

Elsa said "Yes Anna. I finished sending out the invitations before I came with our things."

Kristoff stated "So that what those 'other files' were"

Jacob groaned "I should have come back later. Balls are a pain in the neck."

"No they're not. Balls are always fun." Anna insisted

Jacob groaned "For those attending, for the servants it's a pain in the neck positioning the tables, gathering the food, dusting and polishing every square inch of this castle.

Anna spoke sadly "Do your regret coming come back?"

Jacob said "I will never regret coming back to you two."

Elsa said "Come on you guys, let's go eat. Jacob could you put the chest in my room I want to look at it some more"

"Yes Elsa"

As they left the room Jacob returned the items to their respective boxes and put them in the chest. He then noticed that they never opened the present that was in the chest. Well I guess it's not very important matter. Besides even I don't know what's inside it. Jacob thought. He then picked up the chest and walked towards Elsa room. Along the way he was greeted by many of the palace servants, those who knew him and those who were new to him. When he arrived at Elsa room he entered and placed the chest by the window. Jacob stood there in Elsa's room and remembered the times of when they were together after she cut herself off from Anna. He then left the room to assist with supper. But unbeknownst to him and the other residents of the castle the horn within the chest had begun to faintly pulse with a blue light.

It occurred to me that considering Elsa's isolation that naturally she would feel the need to be close to someone so I crafted Jacob to be someone who would take care of the girls during their childhoods. After all every child needs a friend.

I found that Rise of the Guardians never really addressed the possibility of children with an eidetic memory so it's hard to know how the contradictions of belief would work. After all you are brought up believing you parents are wiser then you so they must be telling you the truth that certain things don't exist but the child has memories that contradict that truth.

So I thought having a person minds at odds with itself would work best because the person wants to believe but due to their upbringing they would suppress their childish beliefs. Leading the mind to 'suppress' the old memories.
