So, I got two favorites this week and it has inspired me to write nonstop and get another chapter ready for you! Thank you to ENDDRAGON369 and NightCrow712 for reading my story. I'm going to try and get as much up as possible before classes start again next week.

Their journey had begun, but it was taking far too long. No matter how hard he tried, Jack Frost could not get this group to stop and have fun for a moment. He had tried starting snow ball fights, giving them some ice to skate on, and even trying to get them to do something as small as eat falling snow. Nothing seemed to make this group have fun, so he was stuck with just following them, occasionally flying ahead to see if they were getting any closer.

It was summer now and the sun was high in the sky, making it hard for Jack to keep making snow for the survivors of the boat crash. It would only lead to confusion if he made more now, so he would have to just deal with waiting for them to have fun on their own. "I recognize this area. The rock trolls will be in this direction." King Agnarr announced, moving onward. Iduna had stopped though, realizing that they had dragged their crew through enough already. "If you wish to return to Arendelle, I suggest we part ways now. Our journey will only take us further from home at this point. If you wish to go back, head east and you should find a small river that feeds into the harbor of our kingdom. Follow that river and you will find your way home." she told everyone else.

The exhausted crew breathed a sigh of relief. After spending nearly a month in the forest, surviving without the comfort of a house and having to hunt for their own food, they longed to return to their normal lives. This journey was important to their monarchs, but they could not deny that they wished to return home more than they desired to help achieve the goals of Iduna and Agnarr. Turning away from their rulers, the crew began their journey back home.

Jack shook his head at them, still amazed at how hard it was to get them to entertain themselves. "Don't forget to have some fun once you get back!" he called out, hoping that maybe it was just from their exhaustion. No one could be that boring, not around him. Jack decided that he had a little bit of time to use, especially with how slow the king and queen were traveling. He took off, using the wind to carry him high in the skies as he laughed. Flying was always so much fun and it gave him a chance to clear his head.

He had figured out that Iduna and Agnarr were the monarchs of a nearby kingdom, but he had not been able to decipher anything else on their journey. The rock trolls were a mystery and there had been no more mention of the girl named Elsa. Jack still wanted to hear more, but he was learning that it would have to wait until they actually met up with these rock trolls. "Agnarr, what do you think Anna and Elsa are doing?" Iduna asked quietly as they traveled, once Jack had returned to the group.

Agnarr looked concerned, aware that their absence was affecting their children. It was supposed to be a two week trip, but it had turned into a month-long journey and it still wasn't over yet. "Have faith. They will be fine. Elsa was doing so well when we left." he said encouragingly, not wanting Iduna to worry too much. "That was when we were there. Do you think someone found the remains of the boat? Elsa and Anna might have been told that we died at sea." Iduna said, her fears still not alleviated.

Jack could see her fear and it made him worry. Pitch and his nightmares were drawn to fear and he needed to calm her down before they came. It would help if these people believed in him, but he had no such luck. "Come on! What does it take to get to get you to see me? I've given you snow, made paths of ice, what else can I do? Someone needs to warn you about Pitch before it is too late!" he shouted at them, upset that it had no effect. He grew even more upset as she walked straight through him, continuing on their path from before.

Agnarr sighed, also unable to see or hear Jack's rant. "It will be alright. Even if someone found it, Elsa and Anna will be fine. Just focus on how happy they will be when we return." he said, understanding that he would not be able to alleviate all of Iduna's fear. Perhaps it would be better to get her to hope for the future instead. Iduna nodded, realizing that there was nothing else she could do. Jack breathed a sigh of relief as he saw her fear vanish from her face. At least they were safe for now. Jack's mood didn't improve anytime soon. It was hard accepting his place as the invisible ghost in any world. He just had to stay strong and focus on getting home. Once he had found these trolls and satisfied his curiosity, his next goal would be to return to the Guardians and Jamie. He would not stay in a world where no one believed in him.

The Guardians were gathered in the sleigh, riding off towards the first sign of Jack that they had gotten since he disappeared over a month ago. They had given up on finding obvious signs and were now searching any area that had so much as a small flurry to see if Jack was responsible. "Are you sure I can't just take my tunnels?" Bunny asked, his hands clutching the sides of the sleigh as it began to take off. "Trust me, we'll get there in no time." North promised, laughing at his discomfort. He still believed that even Bunny loved the sleigh, it was just hard to get him to admit it.

"We'll be fine, Bunny. It's just for a moment and then we'll be in- oh tooth alert!" Tooth was saying, but cut off as she sensed a tooth nearby that needed to be collected. She quickly gave orders out to the fairies flying with her before returning her focus to the others. "It's just the one city this time. It is getting too close to summer for Jack to do too much damage." North promised, pulling out a snow globe to open a portal. "Vancouver." he whispered, throwing it in front of the sleigh and opening a portal to the city. "Oh no, I think I can taste carrots coming up." Bunny complained as they flew through, holding his hand over his mouth.

"Looks like we're here. Let's take a look around and see if Jack is nearby." North said, stepping out of the sleigh. Tooth followed next, hovering above the ground while Sandy joined them. Bunny came out of the sleigh as soon as he recovered. "I am never riding that sleigh again. We are taking the tunnels next time." he told them, shaking his head. Sandy shrugged, not caring either way. They would still reach their destination and it was hard for him to argue with his sand images, so he left it alone.

They stared at the snow on the ground, uncertain of if it was natural or Jack's creation. "Nothing seems unusual. Let's look for a few more minutes and make sure he isn't hiding somewhere." North said after a few minutes of wandering around the town. It was night time and the sky was clear, the moon shining brightly above them. "I think it might be quicker if we split up." Bunny suggested. The others nodded in agreement and began following their own paths through the town, trying to see if Jack was involved in any way. "We will meet back at the sleigh in two hours." North told them before they split up.

All of them went to various parts of the city, searching in buildings, on roofs, and in the streets. North and Tooth were convinced that he would be playing with children if he was somewhere in the town, so they were searching by the houses. Bunny thought that he would be hiding from angry parents who blamed him for ruining their day, so he was searching in more closed off areas. Sandy thought Jack could be anywhere, so he was flying through the sky on his sand, looking at the streets down below. Eventually, he grew tired and landed. When he did so, he discovered a strange path of ice that reminded him of Jack. Following it, he ended up in an alley, where it was dark and there was no one nearby.

It was in this alley that Sandy saw a sign, the first sign any of them had gotten about Jack. The moon shined brighter than usual, illuminating the ice and reflecting an image on the ground. Sandy immediately knew that this was a sign coming from the Man in the Moon. He watched closely as he saw an image of a girl in the ice, someone he had never seen or met. She wasn't even someone chosen by the moon, that was something he was certain of. Her hair was pale blond, tied into a braid over her shoulder. Around her body was a light blue dress that seemed to sparkle like ice. She was hunched over on the ground of what looked like a house made of ice. What caught his attention was the shadows surrounding her and the image of Pitch in the background.

Sandy reached forward, almost thinking he could touch the girl from the image. As soon as he did so, it changed to another picture. This one showed Jack, standing in the same ice palace, facing off with Pitch. He looked closer to try and figure out what it meant, but a cloud passed over the moon and the vision ended. He understood that it was important, that Jack was needed elsewhere, but Sandy did not know if the other Guardians should find a way to help him.

Turning around, he decided that no matter what he had to tell the others about what he saw. It was the first clue they had gotten about Jack and Sandy could not hide it from his friends. "Sandy, you're late!" North said as he joined the others. He focused on trying to create the right images to explain what had happened. Above his head, a moon, snowflake, house, Pitch, and other shapes formed and vanished in seconds. "Slow down, mate. I didn't catch any of that." Bunny said, trying to figure out what Sandy was telling them. Sandy huffed, realizing it was pointless. This message had been given to the wrong guardian, the one that was unable to speak to the others.

"Come on, Sandy, just try it again. Bunny didn't mean to hurt your feelings." Tooth said, touching his shoulder. After a few moments, he nodded and tried again, this time just a little slower. "You received a message from Manny? What was he trying to tell us?" North asked, still not able to piece all of it together. "Is Jack at some house covered in snow?" he continued, making Sandy shake his head. None of them were getting it, not quite. Looking down, he saw a patch of ice on the ground that he pointed to. He then brought back the image of the castle, hoping they could piece the two images together. "An ice castle? We haven't seen anything like that anywhere!" Bunny replied, figuring it out at last.

As the rest of them realized that Bunny was right, they grew even more concerned. Manny hadn't lied to them before, so this vision had to mean something. If Jack really was at an ice castle, he should be easy to find. The fact that it wasn't here meant only one thing. Jack was not in there world. They were all beginning to feel the hopelessness of their quest to find their friend, but they would not give up. No matter where he was, the Guardians would always find him.

Please review and tell me what you thought!
