Jack was working in a flower bed in front of the royal palace planting pansies. As he was digging a hole to plant another flower he looked up to see Princess Elsa just waking up getting dressed. Jack couldn't help but watch as Elsa put on her signature blue dress. Jack's heart started pounding as he watched in awe at how beautiful she was, how much he would love to have her by his side. He wanted to be hers even more than his dream of joining the knights.
When Elsa left his view Jack broke out of his trance and went back to planting his flowers. He liked being the royal gardener, the pay was well and he got to live real close to the palace even though he didn't live directly in it. Also being a staff member meant he got to attend a lot of parties and ceremonies at the kingdom so he couldn't complain. Still he would love nothing more but to join the knights in battle like his guardian and mentor North was.
"What're you doing?" Jack heard a friendly voice ask behind him. Jack turned around and saw Elsa standing behind him. His heart skipped a beat and he jumped back in shock when he saw her. He couldn't believe it; Elsa was actually talking to him.
"Uh…um…just planting some flowers" Jack stuttered not knowing what to say at first.
"I'm Princess Elsa" Elsa said
"Yeah everyone knows who you are; you're the oldest daughter of King Jefferson and future Queen. It's sort of required to know who you are"
Elsa just giggled when he said that.
"Name's Jack Frost" Jack said extending his hand out, Elsa shook it.
"I'm sorry I don't think I've seen you around here before." Elsa said
"Well I usually work in the back garden with the vegetable and everything but since it's getting close to harvest time there's not too much I can do right now except water them and I already did that at the crack of dawn so I thought I'd plant from flowers for you." Jack said getting back to planting.
"Don't you think it's getting a little late to plant flowers?" Elsa asked "fall is almost here and it will start getting cool here soon."
"Oh not at all see Pansies strive in the cool weather" Jack said
"Really?"
"Yeah see, when it snows, the snow acts like a fertilizer for it and helps make them nice and shiny. They are actually the perfect flower to plant for the cold months."
"No way?" Elsa said amazed.
"I know" Jack said with a smile as he planted the final pansy.
"So what's next?" Elsa said very interested in Jack's work.
"Now we put some mulch all around them." Jack said picking up and bag of mulch. "The mulch will help prevent weeds from growing and choke the plants but you want to make sure the mulch doesn't touch the flowers."
"How come?" Elsa asked
"Well it could end up crushing the plants and that wouldn't be good for them so that's why." Jack said finishing emptying the bag of mulch and spreading it around.
"Now we add some fertilizer." Jack said getting his bag of fertilizer and sprinkling it over the plants.
"I thought you said that snow was a fertilizer for them."
"Well it is but there really isn't any snow around right now so I need to give them something."
"Oh" Elsa giggled.
"Now we just water them and you are done for the morning." Jack said sprinkling some water over them. "Now I would water them at least once a day to make sure they don't die. They wouldn't look near as pretty if they were dead."
"No I guess they wouldn't" Elsa giggled. Jack loved seeing Elsa interested with what he was doing. For the first time it made him feel like he might have a shot with her.
Suddenly they both heard horses coming up from the road. They both looked and saw the knights returning from battle with the rescued women and children.
"The knights, they're back!" Elsa screamed in glee running toward them.
"North!" Jack screamed in glee as well as he dropped his water container and ran toward them.
As they reached the knights King Jefferson and Queen Anita stepped out of the palace as well as Elsa's younger sister Princess Anna, who Jack could tell must have just got out of bed because she was still rubbing her eyes.
"North!" Jack hollered out running up to North who was just stepping off his horse.
"Hey, Jack, how's my little apprentice and adopted son doing?" North said with excitement, grabbing Jack and rubbing his hair.
"Doing great North" Jack said.
"Now you have been practicing what I have shown you with the sword and bow right."
"Been practicing two hours each night" Jack said
"That's my lad" North laughed giving Jack a big hug.
"Glad to see you have all returned safely." King Jefferson said walking up to Stoick.
"Thanks your highness but it wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Po." Stoick said
"What do you mean?" Jefferson asked
"Drago had a dragon that he released on us."
"Drago had a trained dragon?" Jefferson gasped
"Yes and if Po hadn't risked his own life to get us out and fight it off. There would have been a good chance that not all of us would have made it out alive. Po risked his own life for us."
"Thank you Po for your bravery." Jefferson said turning to Po who was walking over to the two of them.
"Just doing my duty as a knight in your service your majesty" Po said like it was nothing.
"We will have a huge ceremony and feast in your honor." Jefferson said before turning to the whole kingdom. "Tonight we celebrate the return of our imprisoned women and children and the bravery of Sir Po in risking his life to save the others. The whole kingdom is invited! Tonight we celebrate!" The whole kingdom then cheered and started chanting Po's name.
It was then that a blond girl named Rapunzel stepped out of the castle.
"Flynn." Rapunzel yelled running up to him, hugged him and kissed him."I missed you so badly are you hurt."
"No I'm not hurt Rapunzel, and I missed you also." Flynn said. "A lot of these women and children need to be checked out though. Some have some bad injuries from being whipped and others seem to be very malnourished.
"I'll get on that immediately." Rapunzel said. Flynn then turned to the women and children.
"Alright all of you go with Nurse Rapunzel to get checked for injuries." Then all the women and kids went with Rapunzel. The ones that were very weak were assisted by some of the knights. When the women and children were took inside the castle Stoick pulled King Jefferson aside.
"I have a feeling that this is only going to make King Farquaad plan a bigger attack on our people your majesty." Stoick said as they walked around the kingdom
"Oh I have no doubt about that" King Jefferson said. "But that is why I have you guys. To protect and fight for Arendelle no matter the risk. Right now we have the upper hand; we just need to make sure it stays that way."
"What we need to do is plan an attack on Farquaad head on. I feel like it won't be long before he plans another attack on us" Stoick said. "We need to attack him when he doesn't expect it, when he is unprepared. We do that, and we might finally be able to win this war."
"Stoick my friend now is not the time for war talk now is the time for celebration. To celebrate the return of our captures and Po's bravery, go home to your wife Stoick and celebrate. I highly doubt Farquaad will be planning anything for a while."
"Yes your majesty." Stoick said walking off.
As Jefferson was walking back to his throne room another knight, a tall curly headed knight with a thin brown beard walked up to him.
"Your majesty" the knight said
"Sir Elroy, what do I owe the pleasure to?"
"I know you are a very busy man and everything being the King but during this time of celebration I want to ask you something important. Something that has been tugging at me since we left for that rescue mission"
"What is it friend?" Jefferson said.
"Well a few months back your youngest daughter Anna got married to Kristoff. Which I am happy for her, Kristoff is a great man and amazing knight. But your oldest daughter, Elsa still doesn't have a man. And Elsa is going to be the one when your time is up , to take over the throne. She needs a man to rule by her side." Jefferson said "Your majesty, I would like permission to marry your daughter. I have always had an eye out for her for a long time. And I think I would make a great husband to your daughter."
Jefferson thought about Elroy's proposal for a moment before saying. "I think you would make a great husband for Elsa. And you have my blessing. I will announce the news tonight at the ceremony. My oldest daughter is going to get married. I believe Elsa will be really pleased.
"Thanks your majesty. You have no idea how happy you made me." Elroy said.
Meanwhile at the Southern Isle, Drago carried Facilier up to Prince Han who was sitting in his father's throne. To Hans's right was his younger brother Prince Charming (From the Shrek series, not Disney's version). Also in the throne room was a tall black man named Pitch who was leaning up against the wall. Drago laid Facilier down at Han's feet and Facilier looked up and pleaded to Hans.
"Please Prince Hans you got to get me some help I've been badly wounded."
Hans just looked at Facilier with an upset expression before getting up from his father's throne and punched Facilier in the face.
"You wouldn't need medical help if you had exposed of those knights like you were supposed to. Now we have no nothing." Then Hans grabbed Facilier by the neck and held him a couple inches in the air.
"You have failed the King for the last time." Hans growled
"I'll decide if when he has failed me for the last time or not" King Farquaad said walking in.
"Father" Prince Charming said getting up from his throne and kneeling down to him.
"Hans drop him." Farquaad said
"Yes father" Hans said dropping Facilier to the ground.
"Oh thank you your majesty you are to kind." Facilier said crawling up to Farquaad. Farquaad however kicked Facilier in the face.
"You fool, I never should of left you in charge. Because of you I have no ammo to use against Jefferson."
"I'm sorry your majesty I tried, they just overtook us." Facilier said
"I should kill you where you stand but lucky for you, I'm feeling a little generous right now." Farquaad said.
"Oh thank you your majesty, you are to noble. I'll make it up to you I promise." Facilier said
"SILENCE" Farquaad yelled.
"Yes your majesty."
"However you will now be working under a new leader. A man who is building me a new army, one that will surely overtake Jefferson's so called knights. Meet Jafar."
Then a tall man dressed in red and black with a thin goatee walked out of the shadows. With him he carried a scepter that was shaped like a cobra.
"So what is this army of your Jafar?" Pitch said finally breaking his silence.
"Well if you must know." Jafar said. "My kingdom of Arabia has already accepted rule from Southern Isle and have agreed to assist them in battle. As a former knight of Arabia I have already given King Farquaad the whole Arabian army, about 5,000 in total but I'm, not stopping there. I'm offering more; I am offering an army of the dead."
"That's impossible." Facilier blurted out. How can you have an army of the dead?"
That's when Farquaad took out his sword and slashed Facilier's throat. Facilier grabbed his throat and choked and spat up blood for a few seconds before falling to the ground dead.
"What the heck was that?" Drago asked as he looked on in terror.
"Just watch and learn." Farquaad said.
Then Jafar took his scepter and waved it over Facilier's body. Then the eyes of the scepter glowed and Facilier's skin turned grey. Facilier's wound then disappeared and he suddenly took a huge gasp for air as he opened his eyes and got up. Everyone gasped as they saw Facilier come back to life.
"What the heck did you do to me?" Faciler demanded after looking at his now grey skin.
"You are now part of the dead." Jafar said "Which means you no longer have any rights and now belong to me."
"You will make me an army of these walking dead Jafar. With them we will overtake King Jefferson of Arendelle. And His kingdom will finally belong to me." Farquaad said
"Yes your majesty." Jafar smiled as he kneeled down to him
"Pitch, Facilier, go with him. I will meet up with you once my army is complete." Farquaad said.
"Yes your majesty." Pitch said as he forced Facilier up and followed Jafar out the room.
"Soon my army will be complete and Arendelle will fall. Then soon my empire will finally be complete." Farquaad said to himself staring out his throne room window. "Your days is numbered King Jefferson."
That's it for this chapter. Ten reviews and I will update within the next 3 to 4 days. Take care people.
