So it is three years until the main storyline of Frozen you all know and love, the parents are still alive and things are alright; if you don't know what I am talking about chances are you haven't seen the movie, so there are going to be some SPOILERS.
Hiccup moved through the city as stealthily as he could, he wasn't sure whether or not people would like him or not or the gods forbid he meets a Viking who are docked here resting or repairing a ship. He had a notoriety for being the next chief in training in the history of the barbaric archipelagos and most Vikings knew him on sight.
Hiccup was in no hurry and truth be told he really liked this city, the people were cheerful enough and smiled at him, and not only that the castle was a sight to behold, at least for a Viking villager boy. He sat down on one of the convenient benches and took out his journal. He took out a charcoal stick and began a detailed sketch of the castle. He had nowhere to be any time, for it was one of the perks o no responsibility and total freedom and was content to sit there and draw for the better part of a quarter hour.
Then he heard signs of struggle behind him. Keeping his hood up and face down as if still occupied with his journal he discretely turned his head to see three burly men in front of a stall owner, all of them had daggers concealed in their belts but Hiccup noticed them clear as day. It was a robbery.
"Look just hand over your money and we will be on our way, simple right?" he said to the horrified stall owner. The poor old man reached underneath the counter and pulled up a pouch with a fistful of coins. "Nice doing business with you." The brute chuckled evilly.
A scowl was now burned into Hiccups face. After years of dealing with his bully of a cousin his tolerance for bullies had now dropped to zero. His mother had always taught him what was right and wrong, he had never truly had ever tried hard to live by his ideals and principals butt now was a time for transition for him, a time of metamorphose for his mind, body and spirit. The tables had turned, the hunted had now become the hunter. He turned his journal shut and stuffed it onto his back bag. He walked over to see the stall owner with a sad look on his face. "I need your best map, a compass, two charcoal sticks or a well of ink, a blanket, a spool of thread please" Hiccup said and the old man rummaged through the stall and presented everything Hiccup requested for, which was surprising.
Before the stall owner began to haggle Hiccup reached into his purse and gave him more than the stuff was probably worth. The owner raised his eyebrows in surprise but before he could say anything Hiccup shoved the stuff into his pack and gave him a quick wink before he left.
He made about a whole ten feet before a voice in the alley addressed him.
"So I see you don't like bullies, maybe we can put a stop to it." A teenage boy walked out of the darkness of the alley; he had brown hair, white shirt, blue vest as well as simple pants and boots, he had the look of a thief on his face that did nothing to help Hiccup. He held out his for him to shake
"I am Flynn Rider"
Elsa was not happy, not today or in the better part of the past decade. But in all fairness she had legitimate reasons. She had to all but isolate herself from her servant's friends, family and sister, in other words everyone but her parents. Why? Because she had powers, she could summon ice and snow at will, but she was losing control as the years past and she was becoming afraid.
It wasn't the loneliness that bothered her, it was the fear of hurting people. She just wanted to be normal, even if it meant being a normal princess. Almost nothing they tried worked, the only one who had seemed to not give up hope was her father. He was a family man and wanted the best future for his children as well the kingdom, his eldest daughter was the most noble soul he had ever seen agreeing to self-isolation in her room without even having to be told and she seemed to be coping well enough though he knew the lack of contact with her sister was all but destroying her. She tried to put her all into any attempt to control her powers after years of failure. After all she has been through and never complained he couldn't help but feel the pride swelling in his chest.
"Do you have to go?" Elsa asked afraid to see her parents leave for the first time in years
"Don't worry Elsa, we'll be back in a few weeks"
With that they left and the princess couldn't help but feel a sense of impending doom in the pit of her stomach.
"Mr. Haddock" Hiccup tried; going for a more formal approach. Flynn raised an eyebrow in curiosity but kept his mouth shut and nodded.
"So what do you need me to do?" Hiccup asked
A sly grin washed over Flynn's face as he got down to business. "Ok the brutes you saw there are at large, I know the tavern they go to drink in, the plan is you cause a distraction while I bumps pass them and steal the money back, they will chase you down so you can either lose them or get the guards attention, got all of this?" the Flynn asked.
"What's in it for you? No normal rebel could formulate a plan that fast, and his charisma did nothing to settle his stomach that this could end badly for him. Hiccup made up his mind and nodded his approval. He noticed that guards were always posted closer to the castle, if he could get there they guards would get them, if not all the years of running from monstrous nightmares would come in handy.
'Let's go!" Flynn said and took off at a dead run down the alley. Hiccup followed suit, though he had to admit after a few minutes of running he was surprised when Flynn started scaling up a ladder where a carpenter was shingling a house. Hiccup followed Flynn up the ladder where Flynn started hopping from rooftop to rooftop to the other side of the town. It was perhaps one of the most bizarre things he had ever done, it require a total confidence in his balance and coordination, something he had never exceeded at, but like most cases for him lately when it came to whether or not he would sink or swim he did an overall ok job. A few people stopped to see them go over streets but otherwise most people seemed to be oblivious to their presence.
Flynn eventually stopped on one rooftop overlooking a tavern and Hiccup squatted next to him to take a second to catch his breath, noticing Flynn wasn't even winded in the slightest.
'He has been doing this longer than I have been smithing' Hiccup thought to himself.
The two climbed off the roof and crossed the street, Flynn opened to door of the smokey tavern and entered first. Flynn must've seen the three brutes at the bar because he took a seat right next to them. Hiccup wondered what to do next, he noticed the leader who stole the money had a pendent on. Going forward with a half-baked idea Hiccup walked to the three Brutes, kicked the closest one as hard as he could which sent him over the bar. Hiccup close the gap between him and the dumbfounded leader and grabbed the pendent and yanked hard enough for the cord to snap. He kneed him in the crouch and sprinted out of the bar while everyone was gawking at the kid who seemed to have balls made of cast iron.
After thirty seconds of sprinting down the main street with two very pissed off brutes in pursuit he hoped that it was a big enough distraction for Flynn to grab the stolen money, but at this point Hiccup didn't dare look back to find out.
He ran as fast as his feet could carry him and he sorely wished Flynn had given him more time to rest before they started this whole fiasco. Hiccup doubted he had gained any ground on his pursuers. But the castle came into view and he started praying to the gods that someone was on duty. He weaved through the crowds with his shorter stature playing to his advantage but the two had longer legs which made them about even.
Hiccup glanced back to see that the two were starting to close the gap and then he looked ahead to collide with someone head on. In about point seven seconds he registered two people who were obviously wealthy as well as their escort that consisted of two guards. He prayed that the two guards had enough sense to try to stop the two brutes who would be here in a matter of seconds and not the cloaked person by running from them.
Instincts got ahold of his body and he got up and continued his sprint. His mind worked franticly as he tried to find a way to make his escape, he cut to an alley where when he glanced back he saw the two guards restraining the leader but his friend was still in pursuit. Hiccup ran from alley to alley hoping to find a latter or someplace to hide, what did he get? A dead end.
Now seeing his prey cornered the man drew forth his dagger while Hiccup drew out his dagger and held it upside down in his left hand while in his right he drew his hatchet. The two squared off ready to fight, and while the brute may have fought people bigger in his day Hiccup guessed he wasn't used to fighting dragons on a weekly basis.
But before any blows could be given a man in a suit tackled the brute in an attempt to restrain him. Hiccup adapted to the situation quickly and hit the brute behind the ear with the handle of his hatchet hard enough to knock him out.
The man in front of him got up and offered a smile to the young dragon rider and offered his hand
"Well that was…interesting, oh, where are my manners? Hello young man, I am the king of Arendelle."
This was not the way he wanted to get on a royals first impression so he did not want to give him his name. Check. His hood was up so he didn't know too well what his face looked like. Good, now he had to keep it that way until he could meet him the way Hiccup wanted to meet him. So shaking his hand and start talking was out of the question because next to come would be questions. He needed to do something.
This all went through his head in two seconds before he ran around the king and down the alley. He heard the king running after him but he was not as fast as Hiccup was. Hiccup found a latter and ran up it and was soon on the rooftops covering ground faster than the king could. While Hiccup tried to evade him he simply didn't know the city well enough to cut off the king, but luck seemed to smile on Hiccup because soon the king was out of sight and Hiccup abandoned the poorly made cloak preferring to walk around in his riding harness without a care in the middle of the crowd.
Hiccup continued to walk down the streets admiring the view when he heard
"Hey, Haddock, over here!" Hiccup turned to see his temporary partner in crime in the town's jail beckoning him to come loser. "Oh the gods must hate me." He said and throwing a few Norse curses in for effect. He didn't know what Flynn was thrown in jail for but he already had part of his name and he really didn't want to risk it being soiled after all he had went through and was perhaps going to go through.
"How in the Hel does a loser like you get thrown in here when I am the one who has the center stage?" Hiccup all but growled out in a low voice so only Flynn could hear.
"The guy you kicked was the one holding the money, I tried to help him up and steal it off him but the bartender knew both of us by our reputations and threw us both in here."
Hiccup closed his eyes and massaged his temples in order to try and quell the massive headache rolling in. "who has the key and where can I find him?" Hiccup asked, his patience nearing its end.
"The sheriff, he sits on the porch reading a mystery novel, I it's the only key on the ring, you can't miss it."
Hiccup walked around the building to find the sheriff reading his book and the key was in sight. Getting quite tired of being in this town already he sat down on another bench and for the second time that day he took out his journal and sketched what he saw in case someone decided to look over his shoulder, he drew down everything he saw with fine detail, including the key. Hiccup rose from his spot looked around town, as messed up as his day had been so far he had to admit the town was quite nice, not too big or small, it had the population size of about Berk, but all the people seemed to be friendly. Maybe this wouldn't be the worst place to retire.
Hiccup soon found what he was looking for, people were building a house and Hiccup made his way over to the pile of scraps that were put into a bonfire. Hiccup rummaged around until he found a small plank of wood, he quickly traced using his charcoal stick an estimate size of the key and the approximate location of each tooth on the key itself.
Pleased with his work Hiccup made his way over to the jail where he found Flynn waiting by the window patiently for him.
"Where did the money go?" Hiccup asked.
"I explained the situation of where the money came from and it was returned to the rightful owner" Flynn said with almost a faint scowl on his face.
"But?" Hiccup tried
"I still have a standing record so here I am" Flynn put simply.
"Have you told my name to anyone?" Hiccup asked
"Nope, but in the world of thieves there is a price for silence" Flynn said with his cocky smirk returning
"The key to your escape?" Hiccup guessed only half interested at this point and Flynn nodded in conformation. Hiccup passed the plank to a dumbfounded Flynn and Hiccup explained.
"You only have half of my name so you get to be staying here for a few more hours, hope you are good at whittling!" Hiccup said as he walked away. But as he did he overheard the sheriff.
"His majesties ship left the docks a few hours ago, but I must confess I have a bad feeling about this." The guard said to the sheriff "Why?" he asked in turn. "Look to the horizon, don't you see those thunderheads? I tell ya, I may not be no sailor but I know for a fact storms are bad news even for the mightiest of ships."
Hiccup looked to the sky and saw it was beginning to darken, he broke into a run to check up on Toothless. He himself was getting a bad feeling.
Hiccup found Toothless nested down in a cave where he had left him, he then took off his stuff and started unpacking while preparing for a stormy night.
(Sometime later in the forest outside Arendelle)
"Sounds like there is going to be rain tonight bud." Hiccup said as he started gathering wood for a fire.
[I will agree to that, I feel pity for any foolish human who will be out in this storm] Toothless stated as he unrolled from his comfortable balled up form
"Yeah, some guards said that the storm will be hard on any ships out there today"
[Hard? I have lived longer than any mortal and I know massive gales like this one. All dragons in the area will have nested by now, any human ship out there will never be seen again]
At the new light on this news Hiccup shot ramrod straight and the act didn't go unnoticed by Toothless.
[What stupid plan have you made now?]
"The kings ship left port today, could this storm sink a boat the size of an adult whale?" Hiccup asked starting to get worried.
[A ship the size of a whale might last ten minutes longer, give or take, why do you think this king could be an ally?]
"Probably the only king I will meet that will tackle down thugs for strangers, come on Toothless let's see what we can do!"
(Several miles offshore in the thick of the tempests)
With that Hiccup double checked the harness and the saddle rig on Toothless. Satisfied the pair launched into the air becoming one with night's stormy sky.
It took a while for them to find and it was not easy getting to that point, flying through that storm was some of the most miserable flying Hiccup had ever expected, and they kept pushing on hoping by some miracle to save the lives of as many as they could. Toothless found the ship first and only because the lightning had illuminated the ship.
The two nosed dived down to the ship that was facing waves as high as the tallest mast. Toothless landed in the middle of the deck only to be washed to the ships rail by an unseen incoming wave.
Hiccup quickly took stock of the doomed ship's situation as he dismounted a flustered and wet Toothless. The sails were rigged for the storm and most of the crew would be below decks waiting out the storm with the exceptions of the lookout and the pilot. He grabbed the nearest sailor he could find by the vest and had to scream in his ear to be heard over the deafening thunderstorm "WHERE IS THE CAPTIAN?" the sailor almost responded but another wave hit the deck and the man ended up with a mouthful of sea water, gagging all the while he pointed to the helm where the captain and pilot were together trying to keep the ship going strait.
Hiccup ran over to the man careful not to fall on the slippery decks and shouted at him "WE NEED TO ABANDON SHIP!" the captain fueled by the adenine the storm had brought on had grabbed Hiccup by the collar and pulled him so they were nose and nose. "YOU SERIOUSLY THINK A ROWBOAT WILL LAST LONG OUT HERE?" he bellowed at Hiccup. He was worried about the dragon on his ship but if he tried to take care of it the dragon wouldn't be the death of them, the same couldn't be said for the storm.
"IF WE ARE GOING FAST ENOUGH YES, HAVE ALL THE MEN ROW TOGTHER AND WE WILL TIE MY DRAGON TO THE BOAT WITH A ROPE"
The captain considered this for a moment "DOES YER BEAST HAVE THE ENDURANCE?" he asked, the look in his eye told Hiccup he was looking for a Hail Mary.
"IF NOT THEN CUT US LOOSE, WE CAN CARRY TWO OTHER PEOPLE BUT WE WILL HAVE ONLY ENOUGH TIME FOR THAT TRIP, THE REST ARE ON THEIR OWN!"
The captain considered Hiccups offer and nodded before bellowing "ABANDON SHIP! ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP!"
Working like a demon Hiccup found a one hundred feet long piece of rope and tied it off to the saddle but had it within easy reach of Toothless in case he had to cut the line with his claws. He took the other end and tied it off to the boat that was being prepared. Hiccup noticed the king and queen were already seated in the boat by the sailors as they lowered it down to sea.
By time all the people left alive were on the boat was none too soon for the ships started to flounder as it took on water.
"FLY TOOTLESS!"
Hiccup and Toothless took flight and took up the slack in the rope as they began to tow the boat back to shore with the remaining 30 lives left on board. Hiccup looked back to see the storm illuminate the ship one last time before she sank beneath the waves of the sea.
It was fifteen minutes to shore and Hiccup was the first to admit Toothless was a trooper for all the storm had to throw at him Toothless took it all and pushed on ever further even though Hiccup could tell the dragon was beginning to tire even if all the hands in the boat were rowing to ease the dragons burden. But he never complained once as he gave it his all
When they were five minutes to shore all Hel broke loose. The line snapped at Toothless collar from too much strain and the rowboat was beginning to flounder. Hiccup had Toothless began to hover over the survivors to talk to the captain but when he saw him he saw grim acceptance on his face as well as the entire crews face, the captain pointed to the king and queen and once again managed to bellow over the storm "GET THEM TO SHORE! WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES FORM HERE LAD!" the king mounted up behind Hiccup while Toothless took the sick queen in his claws.
Now running on his reserve strength Toothless took to the air again and sailed to the shore while Hiccup turned to look back, those were some of the most brave men he had ever seen, he and Toothless were their last hope for life but they forfeited it for the sakes of their king and queen, he resolved to make a memorial in their honor and sacrifice if they didn't make it. They probably wouldn't.
Toothless pushed and pushed higher and higher until he was too weak to climb any longer then he tried to glide to the coast but the wind wouldn't let that happen so it became a mixture of gliding and diving for the coast. The landing was not soft; Toothless tried to slow his decent once they were overland but his wings refused to listen to him. He tried to make it as soft as they could but in the end when they had slowed down considerably, too tired to care toothless angled so his side had meet with a tree when they were close to ground level where there they crashed.
Hiccup was the first to get his bearings and he noticed the graceful dragon had passed out from over exertion. He then pulled out the queen who was ice cold and her temperature was dropping quickly. He picked her up and found a nearby shelter of trees. He set her down so that she was now out of the rain and returned for the king to find him half awake and very drowsy and weak. Hiccup half dragged him so he and his wife were now both under the shelter the trees provided. Hiccup knew they were now in the final stages of hypothermia and all his blankets were wet. He cursed and went to try to start a fire but all attempts were futile because all the wood in the area were saturated by the storm, so he finally gave up out of frustration after an hour.
"Paper" he heard the king say weakly
Hiccup retuned to the slumbering Toothless and got one of his journals and tore out one of the few pieces of paper that were not wet as well as a charcoal stick. When he handed them to the weak king he nodded his thanks and began writing. It took him ten minutes but when he was one he gestured for Hiccup to come over where he handed him back the paper folded over.
"Should we not make it through the night, promise me you will deliver this too my daughters" the weak king pleaded.
Hiccup nodded and tucked the note away. "What is your name?" the king asked as Hiccup settled down for the few hours of night left. "Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third" the king nodded weakly as if his life force were flickering.
"Should anything happen to us if you were to protect our daughters we would be eternally grateful, but if it is too much I understand, tonight you did more than I could have hoped from most" Hiccup smiled at the compliment "I will do what I can" wit that the king laid back his head and rested against his wife and Hiccup finally nodded off, too tired to stay awake.
When he woke up neither the king nor queen were moving and when he touched their skin it felt like stone. He cursed under his breath and returned to Toothless. He had work to do.
(A few hours later)
Hiccup returned from the town with a basket of fresh fish for Toothless. After Hiccup woke up that morning he noticed that Toothless had several bruised ribs so he had the dragon take it easy today. When he returned to the camp he saw that Toothless had gone off to the side of camp and had dug out a shallow trench.
Overall the events of last night had left a very bitter taste in his mouth. He had found more than a dozen things he though he did wrong or could have done better such as having dry firewood ready, tied the rope on Toothless better among other things.
Hiccup dragged the two dead royals over to the shallow graves. He laid them next to each other with their arms at their sides. The simple act put more grief in his heart, he felt like a bigger failure than when he was in vain trying to be a Viking on Berk. He was a dragon rider for crying out loud! The royals should at least have lived. Figures, he finally finds his calling and it turns out he sucks at that as well.
The recuperating night fury must have sensed his riders internal struggle [We did the best we could with what we had, had we tried to only save the king and queen yes they may have had a better chance at living; but the reality is we have only been dragon and rider for a few months. We need to learn how to become one in mind, body, and spirit in a moment's notice should we want to attempt something like this. Besides your original plan should have worked but we need better equipment. I am not saying you should have abandoned the crew because none of us knew what the turnout was to be; but it shows you have a noble and caring heart. Anyone can grow stronger, but it is much more difficult to gain compassion.]
The words of wisdom seemed to lift a little weight off the young rider's shoulders, but that was only half of his problems right now.
"I still have to deliver the kings message" Hiccup said
[I agree, their young ones deserve to see the contents on the parchment. but I must ask, are you going to explain the situation to them.]
Hiccup seemed to be at war with himself at the idea. "Maybe, but not today." Toothless was confused as to why his rider would not give the people the true story from the very start, but then he was not an expert on human culture so he decided to trust that his human knew what he was doing as he walked out of the cave.
(A few days later in the Arendelle cemetery)
Anna felt like a hole had entered her life. With the passing of both of her parents she felt them leave a gap she knew no one else would be able to fill. And so on that rainy day she stood next to the priest as he sent prayers to her parents, never in her life had she felt more alone. She wished her sister was here.
She simply couldn't understand why her sister shut her out. They should be grieving together, crying together. Embracing each other like any normal girl, princess or not. Elsa felt this way too, she may not understand why Elsa shut her out but she knew her better than anyone alive, she felt this way too, so what was the problem?
The heavens themselves seemed to be grieving for the dead royals, they grey clouds letting in little sunlight, the drizzling seemed to detour no one, it was not bothersome, and it was as if the earth itself were in a time of mourning.
On the outskirts of the cemetery stood a lone figure whose concentration was focused on his proceedings. His cloak protected him from the rain, the hood concealed his identity. If anyone saw him all he would be is a faceless stranger.
(A few hours later in the castle.)
After the funeral Anna returned to the castle, the sun by now was setting and the light was fading, as she approached her destination somewhere in her mind she wondered if now was the best time to approach Elsa but after the turmoil that had entered into her life these past few days she overlooked the thought all together.
"Elsa, please I know you're in there, people are asking where you've been. They say "have courage" and I'm trying to, I'm right out here for you, just let me in. We only have each other it's just you and me, what are we going to do?" tears were starting to form on her face she couldn't stop. Unless Elsa cracked now they would both truly be lonely for a while.
"Do you want to build a snowman?" she tried. But there was no answer. The girl living on the other side of the door was not the sister she remembered growing up with. Heart broken and will shattered she broke down in tears.
Elsa heard her sister and it took all her will not to tear open the door and embrace her like she had not done for years. But something stopped her, a promise she made to never harm her sister again. While spending years with her father trying to control her powers she learned they were fueled by her emotions. And with her emotions in absolute turmoil she didn't trust herself. She couldn't lose her sister, not even by accident. For the sake of her sister, she had to keep her powers reined in; even if it meant bottling up her emotions and never letting them out.
She heard something at the window, like something was trying to get in. she stood up to inspect what was causing the ruckus, careful not to slip on her own ice. There was a parchment slipped into the crack between the window and the sill. She looked up from the paper on the roof to see if she could spot how it got there.
She only got a glimpse but she could tell the person on the rooftop across from her room was standing on top of the castle wall. He wore a brown cloak that concealed his body and a hood that hid his face. As soon as the figure saw her he leapt off the twenty foot wall and dove into the fjord. She saw the rippling where he had hit the water but she had never saw him surface, though she was sure he didn't drown.
Elsa looked at the paper still in the window. She opened it up and caught it before it could have a chance to fly away. When she opened the paper her eyes nearly bugged out of her skull, she recognized her father's handwriting anywhere.
To my daughters, Elsa and Anna,
If you are reading this then I am dead, you mother is now unconscious and I feel my life fading, should I die I want both of you to know that your mother and I love you very much. When the storm took a turn for the worst I could not get her to stop praying for you two to be strong, something I myself was afraid of.
It is true, you must be brave and must muster your courage. The kingdom will need you for you may not realize it but these are very dark times, the Vikings are raiding in the north and dragons harass anything they see, to the south there have been tales of magic and witchcraft. This pocket of the world doesn't get much attention and if you are both lucky it won't.
But I fear I could not find a way to prepare you for any of that, at least not till now. A boy found us in that storm, he flied on a dragon. You must trust me on this for we know nothing about great creatures and magic. If anyone can help you he can, I have never meet a more noble and caring heart outside our family. Please listen and learn as much from him as you can. I regret I don't know his name but the dragons name is Toothless. Your mother and I love you very much, more than you both could ever know.
Mom and Dad
Elsa had tears forming in her eyes, she ordered a maid to come to her room, as she was coming she turned over the paper to find a sketch of Arendelle castle on the back, and though it was quite detailed something else caught her attention, the page corner hinted it was took out of a book like a journal and at the bottom of the page was one of her few clues to finding out the person who rode the dragon. The artists initials HHH III
A/N: Yoo-hoo! I am terribly sorry for the rushed mess, but I have made revisions so there is no hard feelings between us, yeah?
To R-dude: you don't know who I am so let me tell you, I am a teenager with nothing better to do, it was my to my understanding that if I wrote anything that if I made a problem you would tell me so I can improve as a writer. Saying I am clueless doesn't help me in the least bit and while it does not come naturally to me please have patience as I practice my skills. If I mess up I go back and fix it and repost to make my stories and skills better.
To Colonel Pepper, 444teme444, mh10anthony, you have my most humble gratitudes, I thank you for taking the time to tell me with detail what I did wrong. It means more than you may realize
Ok in all honesty for those who are wondering what the Hel is wrong with my brain here is the story: first it was the last day of spring break and I needed something to do and so on Monday night I was watching Frozen. I was listening to 'Let it go' and a connection was made in my brain, change a few lines and it had the potential to be Hiccups song if he left Berk for good. I had wanted to do a big four fic for some time now but all my ideas were half baked. So I slept on this idea and when I woke up on Tuesday morning I had the complete story worked up in my head. Now when I write I tend to go crazy after an hour and I wrote for six hours and had two cups of coffee that morning. It wasn't pretty. Now there will be about six acts, if there will be any romance it will be in later in the story and yes this is also a big four fic.
