Sorry that there is so much time between uploads but life keeps intruding.

Hope you enjoyed the last chapter, here's the next one. Sadly it didn't turn out as good as I had hoped.

P.S. In regards to "Marshmallow Attacks"; it's a nice title but it does not really fit with the story line that I am planning. All I can say is "More shall be revealed in due time."


Arendelle Attacked

Chapter 3: Enemies at the Gate

Anna was in trouble and Elsa would have to move quickly if she wanted to save her. The gate was already heavily damaged, large splinters were hanging loose off of the door and several sections were scattered across the floor. It would probably only take one more hit before it came crashing down like a house of heavy wooden cards. The queen looked at the staircase leading down to the courtyard, and the mass of guards running down it, blocking the path. That would not do, now would it? So she couldn't use the staircase, fortunately she could make one, nothing fancy like what she made for her ice castle, but something that would help her get down into the courtyard in as little time as possible. She forced the magic out, down through her arms and sent it scurrying out of her hands. The staircase grew before her, spiraling sharply down into the courtyard below, instead of fancy, spiraling railings Elsa created a thick slab of ice on the outside of the spiraling ramp so she wouldn't be flung off. To add some speed to her descent Elsa flattened the tops of the stairs with a slick sheet of ice to form a spiraling ramp. Without a second thought she took a step back, drew in a deep breath, and jumped. Her ice skating skills would come in handy now.

Elsa spiraled down the ramp, gaining speed with every second. She shot out of the bottom of the ramp at high speeds, sliding across the courtyard floor and coming to a rest in the middle of the castle's yard. "Quick!" she shouted above the howl of the wind, "Everyone get behind me!" A tug on her sleeve made Elsa spin around. She let out a sigh of relief at the sight of her sisters beaming face. "Anna! Thank goodness you're safe." Anna's smile shrank slightly "Elsa, I'm scared." she said softly. Elsa put her hand on Anna's shoulder "I know sister, I know." The queen looked around at the villagers gathered in the town square, almost no one had heard her over the rushing wind and there was no time to warn them all individually. If only she could somehow get rid of this blasted storm. "Elsa?" Anna was looking at her and a question seemed to be forming in her mind. "What is it Anna?" Elsa responded. "Elsa, it is kind of hard to hear you over all this wind, could you use your powers to stop it?" At first Elsa was taken aback; did Anna really think that she was causing this storm too? Then it dawned on here, the queen scolded herself for not coming up with such a simple solution sooner. She stepped back and raised her arms. Another loud crack emanated from the door and Elsa's back received a showering in splinters. Well, better hurry this up. The queen raised both of her arms above her head. She began manipulating the ice crystals traveling on the winds, causing them to spiral around her head; slowly at first, but quickly gaining speed the friction caused by the crystals began shifting the air itself until Elsa had formed a huge vortex above her head. With a swift movement she sent the ice spiraling out in every direction and the wind in the court yard subsided. The queen turned to look at Anna and saw, instead of gratitude, fear in her sisters eyes. The queen quickly followed Anna's gaze and saw yet another ice golem breaking through the gate. She was too late; the townsfolk would be trapped in the courtyard with this thing. Elsa had to move quickly, she lowered her head and began taking slow, deep breaths to help in focusing her powers. She let out a slight grin; this was going to be fun.

The ice golem finished breaking down the door and stopped to look around at the crowd of people gathered in the castle courtyard. A single, mighty roar sent them running for the nearest buildings. Good, all the villagers where now hiding behind various stalls and corners and... The golem paused. No, not all, in the center of the courtyard stood a young woman with light blonde hair, a young lady with fiery red hair was peeking over her shoulder. The blonde lady's head was bowed, her bangs concealing her face. The golem felt something different about this one. She did not fear, at least not him, and that was new; most of the beings the golem had come across were so terrified that he didn't even need to roar to get them to scurry off. Yet there was something else about this woman, she seemed to radiate an icy cold that chilled the golem, despite it being made entirely of ice. This was most likely the one he was sent here to capture. The golem stepped forward, its massive hands raised, ready to grab her as the woman raised her head, a smile spreading across her face. This was not a kind welcoming smile however; instead of welcoming and kind, the smile was cold and icy, like the rest of her. It was a wicked grin that brought no good will. The golem raised its massive hand, ready to squash this strange little girl who was smiling at him. He roared, expecting the queen to run, but she stood her ground. Elsa decided long ago that she would stop running. The grin distracted the golem for just a second, he was confused by this girl's cheerfulness at what would certainly be her demise. But the confusion did not last very long.
The last thought to go through the golem's mind was "Why was this girl still grinning?" followed quickly by a pillar of frozen ice.


One does not simply threaten Queen Elsa's family and live to tell about it.

Next chapter will be up Tuesday.
