Editor's note: Alright, Chapter 2 is here. Let me know what you think! And no, I am unsure where this is going.
Chapter 2: An uneventful eventful day.
The traveler woke up and stretched. He walked outside and decided to explore the town. He went towards the town square and found a small restaurant so he stopped there for breakfast. As he was entering he heard "What the heck do you MEAN there's no reindeer allowed in here?!" asked a man with unmanly blonde hair. "I'm sorry sir, but I can't let any animals in here." Replied the restaurant manager. "Alright, let's go Sven." The blonde man said the reindeer with a sad look on his face. "Aww but I wanted to eat some of their carrot cake!" The blonde man said in a silly voice supposedly for his reindeer. The traveler watched the reindeer and man walk down the road and was amused. "I shall have to meet him before I go." Thought the traveler as he entered to get some breakfast.
Kristoff was a bit upset about not being allowed in the restaurant. "It's species discrimination I tell you!" He said in a loud voice frustrated. "It's ok Kristoff, we'll just eat carrots." Said Sven (well, Kristoff but in Sven's silly voice). "Very well." Kristoff mumbled.
Elsa woke up and decided to wake Anna up early so she snuck to Anna's room and gently opened the door snickering to herself, and she saw Anna just sleeping peacefully with that mess that she calls hair. She smiled evilly and waved her hands and Anna was buried in snow. "COLD COLD COLD COLD!" cried Anna. Anna looked around and saw her sister and chuckled evilly and made a snowball and threw it at Elsa. Elsa created an ice wall to block it and created a snow boulder and proceeded to chase Anna around her room. "Hey no fair!" screamed Anna trying not to laugh in excitement. She loved it when she got to spend time with her sister. Unfortunately Anna was not fast enough and the snow boulder hit the back of her head. "Never, ever, EVER challenge the Snow Queen to a snowball fight." Elsa said laughing. Anna shook the snow off her head and said smiling "Yeah, but then I would miss the fun." Elsa chuckled and said "Listen, I postponed the first meeting until tomorrow and was wondering if you would like to explore the town toda-" Elsa didn't even need to finish her question before Anna was behind her changing screen getting dressed and squealing with excitement. She also loved exploring the town and meeting the townsfolk.
Anna and Elsa left the castle and walked towards the town square and found a nice small restaurant to have a nice breakfast at. As they we walking in a stranger wearing a black cloak and hood walked out, gave a small bow to Elsa and Anna and said "Have a good day your majesties." Elsa gave Anna a quizzical look but Anna just shrugged. All of the sudden there was a scream across the square as a mugger just stole a woman's purse, Elsa was about to put ice in the mugger's way but the stranger ran straight towards a cart, used the cart to climb unto a roof, and jumped on the mugger and pound his head into the ground leaving the mugger unconscious. He returned the bag to the woman and ran back into the heart of town. Elsa and Anna just said "Wow."
The traveler was running through town back to the inn. He wasn't looking for a fight, but fights tend to find him. Of course, a spar with a mugger can't really be counted as a fight, as he was yet to find someone to match his skills in hand-to-hand, sword, spear, staff, or any type of fighting. Fighting was pretty much this man's life. He never fought for himself, he'll run before he ever lifts a hand for himself but threaten someone else and he'll take you down with no remorse. Of course, if someone DID match his fighting skills, he wasn't sure if there was anyone who can match his other skill set.
As Anna and Elsa was walking home they were talking about the stranger who stopped the mugger.
"Who do you think he was?" asked Anna. Elsa replied "I'm not sure, definitely not one of Arendelle's guards; he's way better trained than they are. Either way, we should probably find him and make sure he's not a threat to the city." "I typically don't like being rude to people who save my life, but in this instance, I agree." Said Anna.
Elsa and Anna returned to the castle and Elsa went to the meetings she had scheduled and Anna went to go look for trouble. It didn't take her long to find a cheerful little snowman called Olaf. "Oh hi Anna! How are you doing?" Said Olaf with his big goofy grin. "I'm doing well thanks. How are you? Whatcha up to?" Olaf said "I'm fine. I'm just chasing butterflies." Anna chuckled and left him to it. Anna sighed and decided to go find Kristoff. It didn't take her long as Kristoff was heading to the castle to look for Anna. Unfortunately, Kristoff was lost in thought and Anna never looks where she is running so they smashed right into each other. Anna and Kristoff groaned. "Wow, who knew a girl so small could hit so hard." Kristoff thought. "Well, that was lucky, we found each other right here!" thought Anna.
"HI!" squealed Anna who later berated herself for squealing so embarrassingly. "Hi." Kristoff chuckled than gave Anna a big hug and spun her around. "Wheeeee" Anna squealed in delight as the man she loved spun her around. After he stopped Anna tried to walk in a straight line like she likes to try to do after that and bumped an antique vase sending it crashing to the ground smashing into a million little pieces. "oops." Said Anna unshaken. Kristoff however, was scared due to the antiqueness of said vase. "Oh no! Elsa is going to kill me! You're fine as you're her sister and she'll never hurt you but she barely knows me and now we broke that and she's gonna kill me!" Anna chuckled and said "Calm down you big baby, Elsa is not going to kill you. She'll have to go through me." "Well that's some relief." Chuckled Kristoff.
The traveler was on his way to the castle being escorted by some palace guards. He could take them down with very little effort but he doesn't want trouble, and he is not one to fight the government unless said government is a tyrant mistreating the people, and he saw no evidence of this, actually its quite the contrary from what he's heard. The people love this government. "It was a bit shocking for the winter but once that was ended, Elsa is a very good queen." Said one of the town's people he had talked to earlier. He arrived to the palace and taken to the queen's study. The guards left him alone and stood guard right outside. Elsa walked in and the traveler bowed and said "It is an honor to be in the same room with you, your majesty." Elsa said "The honor is mine. You showed great heroics today in the square, saving that woman's purse. The thing is, you're definitely not one of my guards, and my sentries who watch the gate says you only arrived last night. So who are you?" The traveler smiled and said "I'm just a humble traveler, save what people I can, look for adventure, then move on when I find it." Elsa studied him carefully before saying "Sounds like a lonely life." The traveler chuckled and said "Indeed. With my always being on the road, I don't make many friends. I would settle down somewhere but I cannot." Elsa frowned at this and asked "Why can't you settle down?" The traveler said "I'm skilled in fighting, all sorts of fighting. But I have another skill set. A lot like your magic. I'm equally as powerful as you, except, while you are a cyromancer, I'm a pyromancer; which means while you control ice and snow, I control fire. Anyways, my powers are under control, they flare up at the beginner of summer and destroy everything. I don't use my magic. I hate it. I use my skills, I even make fire by hand." Elsa was shocked at what she was hearing. After all those years locked away, and trying to conceal her powers, and finding out that makes it work, she almost lost it. She said "That won't help. Concealing your powers will just hurt you. I know, my magic was the same way."
The traveler said with a slight frown "Yeah, the difference is, you can use your powers to create beautiful things, fire's only purpose it to destroy." With that, he bowed and walked out.
"Wait!" Elsa called. The traveler stopped right before the door and said "Yes, your majesty?" Elsa asked "What's your name?" The traveler gave a weary smile and said "James, your majesty." And with that he left.
