Frozen, a tale of Two Blizzards 2 part 2
Tommy POV
"Welcome back your majesty" one of the Arrendelle council said to me, as I stood on a raised platform at one end of the ballroom.
"It is great to be back" I replied with a smile.
The councillor bowed to me again and walked off. I just looked around the ball room; there were hundreds of people from far flung nations crowding around.
"I can't believe that this many people came to our anniversary party!" Elsa whispered to me.
"Well, we have done a lot to help as many countries as possible" I replied.
"True" Elsa added.
But then music began to fill the air and I offered my hand out to Elsa, who took it gracefully and we both walked out to the dance floor.
We sank into a waltz and behaving like a teenaged couple, we held each other close. Music filled the air and everything seemed fine. But then I saw Anna who honestly didn't look too good. Elsa had obviously seen Anna too and we broke off the dance to see if she was alright.
Kristoff, Sven and Olaf were approaching as well, Riley was close behind.
"Are you alright Anna?" Elsa asked with concern.
"You don't look so good" Kristoff added.
"I'm fine, I just need a lie down" Anna said before her skin went pale and she collapsed to the ground!
Kristoff rushed forwards and managed to stop Anna's head from hitting the floor.
"Get a doctor in here!" Elsa shouted.
Laying the staff of winter down, I pressed my middle and index fingers on my right hand to Anna's throat to check her heartbeat.
"Not good" I murmured to myself.
At that moment the royal doctor came rushing into the room carrying a bag full of medical instruments.
Immediately he set to work, trying to find out what was wrong with Anna. Elsa held her sisters hand and I said to one of the guards "It's best if the party is ended now"
"Yes sir" the guard replied and he proceeded to get all of the guests out of the ball room.
I turned back to see that Elsa was crying now and Kristoff didn't look much better. I rushed over to Elsa's side and held her close.
"How is she?" I asked.
The doctor turned to face me, his face grim.
"I'm afraid to say but Princess Anna has been poisoned by a substance that can't be cured to my knowledge" He said to me.
"There has to be way!" Elsa cried, frosty energy flooding the room.
"Maybe Grand Pabbie and the trolls could help?" Kristoff suggested.
At that, Elsa and I lifted Anna up by the shoulders and Kristoff put her on Sven's back.
I ran and brought out some horses for Elsa and I to ride on whilst Kristoff attached Sven to the sled and laid Anna down on the seat.
"Come on!" I shouted at Kristoff who was getting into his seat.
At my statement he cracked the reins and Sven began to run as fast as he could move, dragging the sled behind him. Elsa and I rode our horses alongside and Riley ran on ahead scouting for any threats, Olaf was riding on the back of the sled.
Faster and faster we rode through the trees, Elsa leaving a frosty trail just like the first time she saw the trolls after the first incident in the ballroom.
"Is Anna going to be ok?" Olaf asked his voice full of worry.
"I don't honestly know Olaf, really I don't" I replied.
We all rode on in silence until we reached the valley of the living rocks.
When we arrived, Elsa and I dismounted our horses and helped Kristoff to carry Anna into the centre of the valley. I stood near the centre, Holding Elsa close to me whilst Kristoff held Anna in his arms.
The rocks in the valley began to move as the trolls began to show themselves. Pabbie was the first and he immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Pabbie, its Anna!" Kristoff said urgently.
Pabbie moved over to Anna and using his troll magic he quickly found the poison that was burning its way through Anna's veins.
"Anna has been poisoned. As far as I know, there is only one cure." Pabbie said.
"What would that be?" Kristoff asked.
Pabbie conjured up a map and I moved closer to see if I could help.
"To heal Anna, you have to find the source of Magic" Pabbie explained as he pointed to a small island on the map.
"That's Wesleton territory!" Kristoff exclaimed.
"We can't go there by ship or by aircraft as Wesleton will demand the resumption of trade or will declare war so the best option to get to the source using one of the Submarines" I added.
"You have 16 days before the poison's effects are irreversible" Pabbie warned as Elsa and I mounted our horses and Kristoff lifted the now conscious form of Anna onto the sled again.
"You had better take this" Pabbie said to me as he passed me a small bag containing the Map and a nautical style compass, which would light up the heading the submarine would need to face.
"Thank you" I replied before I cracked the reins and the small convoy left the Valley of the living rocks and headed straight for the naval base where I knew at least two of Arrendelle's Oberon Class submarines would be waiting.
