Queen Elsa fluttered around the marketplace in extreme panic. The feeling of a looming failure making her heart fill with dread. There are scarfs of every color, jewelry of every type, chocolate of every shade of brown, and yet nothing has fulfilled what the Queen is so desperately searching for. The only easy decision she has made today is to wear a real blue dress instead of one of her ice creations, because with how she is feeling right now she doesn't know if she could have focused enough to keep it from melting. Trying to resist the urge to pull all her hair out in frustration the Queen spots a vendor she has never seen before located at the very end of the marketplace. Hope slightly renewed the Queen makes her approach. The owner of the vender spotting the Queen's approaching form gives her a wide smile that has a hint of cruelty at the corners.
The vendor bows, "I was wondering when you would finally come to see my merchandise. I heard there is a birthday coming up for Princess Anna and I assure you that you will find no better present than what I can present you with."
The Queen slightly taken back at his arrogance responds, "We will just have to see. What do you sell?"
"Throughout my travels I find unique trinkets that have magically qualities but they are very expensive so I don't display them. That's why I display these weapons for the common peasants to buy. But for you, my Queen, I have the very best magical trinket for you to give Princess Anna and I'll even sell it for a discount."
"May I see this trinket?"
"Of course my Queen, if you follow me I can take you to my camp where I keep my more valuable items safe," the vendor steps away from his table and waves for the Queen to follow in hast. The Queen hesitates for a second but when the feeling of dread of not finding the prefect present for Anna starts to settle back in she quickly follows the shadowy vendor. They continue walking for minutes, the Queen surprised when they start walking through the forest but feels she is already too far in to turn back. They reach a small camp and the vendor ruffles through a box and pulls out a simple looking gold box.
"Now it's looks can be deceiving but once you open this and hear the magical sounds it creates you will be begging me to buy it!" the vendor exclaims with a flinty glint in his eye that does not match his words. The Queen slightly skeptical and ignoring the warning bells going off in her head takes the box from the vendor. Holding the box close and giving the vendor a wary glance, the Queen opens the box. The last thing she remembers is a white puff of powder hitting her in the face and hearing an evil crackle...
