Chapter 4 : Icy Revelations
Jarrett, and Elsa sat talking for a while about his journey to Arendelle. "It was rough at some points. Hours after we left harbor in Karkendelle, it was dark and a rouge storm caught us. We were thrown about the ship as a few rouge waves hit the boat, and almost capsized us, but hey what can you expect from the seas?" he tried to trying to start a laugh. Queen Elsa wasn't amused by it though. "I lost my parents out there. I don't think I will travel much farther than I have too." "Oh, I-I-I'm sorry I did-" "It's fine you didn't know, and please don't sugar coat things for me, I can handle it trust me."
"Yes, Queen Elsa," Jarrett said still embarrassed by his mistake. "I think it's time we let Anna in, I'm pretty sure she has cooked up a few questions for you. Oh, and be ready to do something with your powers again, she won't leave you alone till you do." "Alright, can do. She shouldn't be too much of a bother anyway, I grew up with an older brother, and a younger sister," Jarrett chuckled a little.
Elsa left Jarrett alone in the room while she went to fetch Anna. She got to Anna's room, and before she could knock, Anna was out the door, and down the hall. "Wait up!" Elsa screamed chasing after her sister. "No you keep up" Anna said relentlessly almost running down the hall. "Anna, please don't pester him. Don't act like a child in there either," Elsa commanded. "I'm not three years old Elsa you don't have to tell me that," Anna said a little more snippy than usual. They both entered to see Jarrett making an ice statue. Elsa knew exactly what it was before it melted away. "Oh! Hey," Jarrett said with a jump. "Sorry, I was just entertaining myself." "It's ok, but your going to have to show me something" Anna said smiling walking into the room. "What do you need me to show you?" Jarrett asked rhetorically knowing what she wanted to see. "Show me your powers, I want to see with my own eyes it's true," Anna said getting excited. "As you wish," he cupped his hand as before with Elsa, and in seconds the same beautiful snow flake was floating inches away from his palm.
"Whoa, it's beautiful, amazing in fact," Anna said starting to bounce from excitement. The joy Elsa saw in her ecstatic sister made her giggle. "You have made someone very happy, do you know that?" Elsa questioned. "Normally I would say no, but look at that" he said motioning towards Anna, still bouncing from excitement. "Well I have never seen anyone else with powers, it's different from when I see Elsa's" Anna defended. "What's that supposed to mean? Are my powers not amusing to you?" Elsa asked sarcastically. "Well-I-uh-well- Yes it's just amazing for you not to be the only one with them," Anna defended herself. "I was only joking Anna. I know thought I was just as amazed when I saw it as well," Elsa said still laughing from how serious her sister took it. "Back to the matter at hand though. If you knew at my coronation about my powers, why didn't you speak up?" Elsa started interrogating. "Well, I didn't think the Queen would waste her time on someone with so little diplomatic stature." "Well in some cases you would be correct in assuming that, but if you would have approached me the right way, I might have listened," Elsa explained. "That's just it, I didn't know how to tell you, or approach you. And even now we have met, and I have showed you my powers, I am still at a loss for words at times" Jarrett said looking into his hands. After a moment Anna spoke up "Please continue your story from where you left off in the letter." "Whoa, wait a minute. Why would the princess, and the queen want to know a simple commoners story?" Jarrett thought to himself. "Well will you?" Elsa asked. "Oh, what. I'm sorry my mind ran off again. But yes, as you wish," Jarrett then cleared his throat preparing to talk again.
"I will pick up where I left off. As I said, Pabbie had just healed my brother. He was never the same after, he always seemed distant. Pabbie pulled me to the side after my parents, and brother had gone back to the horses. He told me about how true love can thaw a frozen heart. He also told me the rage, and fear my powers bring, are only bearable if the bearer can learn to accept, and love them self overall. I heard, but I didn't understand. I thought the whole time I was doing so. But it turns out those are completely different from what I was doing. I was conceited. Which is the complete opposite of me. I loved the way I looked, I didn't love who I was inside, who I should be. I was just being a normal person I guess. Back to the story though, I know I've been rambling. After we left Arendelle, and made it back to Karkendelle, I had a talk with my parents, I told them I don't know when they'll see me again. I ran to the docks, and had a mysterious man take me three days sail from Karkendelle, where we came to a island. He let me off on an little row boat he had on deck. I made my way to the island, by the time I looked back at the ship it was sailing away. I had expected this much though, all I wanted was a one way ticket. On the island I learned how much I was capable of. I also learned that even though my power was strong it all meant nothing if I couldn't control it. One night I was just having fun with it, making an ice sculpture of my mom. Then an old man came out of the woods behind me. I jumped a little, but I expected a completely different reaction from the man who just saw someone using powers in front of him. Instead he was calm, and approached me saying his name was Anthony. He told me how he had lived on the island for almost 15 years. We shared common talks about almost nothing for a week. One day I asked him why he wasn't startled by my powers. He sat for minute or two, the he told me he's been through a lot, he doesn't believe on judging people on their cover, he gives people a fair chance before making his opinion. I didn't question it farther, I was just happy he hadn't tried to kill me. One minute let me think where to continue," Jarrett stopped and cleared his throat, gathering his thoughts to continue.
"Well, what happened on the island?" Anna asked intrigued. Jarrett cleared his throat again ,and began. "Anthony, and I talked a little more on the topic, but one day I brought up a very personal topic. One I'd rather not share right now. But he told me that he lived on the island, because it was a place where he found inner peace, an learned to accept himself, flaws, and all. I thought this was great. I thought I had a chance for it to be easy. For me to be able to change my ways, and my life in no more than an hour with a good teacher. Sadly was I greatly mistaken though. I mean even today here with you, I haven't completely succeeded in my task I gave myself so many years ago," he concluded with a little choke. "Excuse me I need a moment. I haven't been able to realize that until just now." "Take all the time you need, we can wait," Anna said looking at him curiously. "Jarrett...what makes that thought so emotional for you? Why do you think you haven't yet?" Elsa asked looking more curious than Anna. "Well, Queen Elsa, princess Anna, all this time I thought I was the one completely in control. I have the reigns, I decide what my powers do... until now. Looking back, I notice, I am just too small for something, far greater like this. You see Elsa, your power, our powers, they can be completely controlled yes, But one must have power, courage, and the will to do so, along with being able to love, and accept yourself. If just one of those is not there 100% well you can just give up on control. That's why I ran from home, I didn't have any of those to begin with. On my journeys though, I have gained power, and courage, and a strong will, but I lack the other two. I-I-I just really don't know how to. That old man on the island defiantly opened a door for me somewhere inside. I just am not quite sure how to release what's inside. The ice outbreaks, yes are few and far in between, but one is all it takes to... change everything. Which just makes me think of how helpless I really am. Elsa..." she looked up at him with what looked almost like tears in her eyes, then immediately faded away. "Yes?" "I can promise to teach you, but keep in mind, we may not succeed first try," he said starting to look up from his hands. "I will try my best to learn, but I have no clue where we can even begin to start. The castle is always awake, except late at night," Elsa said becoming saddened. "Do either of you know a secluded place outside the castle we can go to?" Jarrett began to wonder if they could even do this. "Oh, I think I know of a place!" Anna said excitedly. "Well Anna, you will have to show me" Elsa said through a yawn, "But first I think its time we get some sleep." "I can agree with that" Anna sad starting to yawn as well.
They all gathered up to leave the study. As they were leaving Elsa noticed they had been in there almost all day. "Oh no! I missed a council meeting, they're not going to be too happy," Elsa said almost jumping. "They can have it tomorrow, but right now, I'm too tired to think about that" Anna said through another yawn. "I think that too" Elsa agreed.
Elsa and Anna went to their rooms, but Jarrett didn't go back to his room in the inn. Instead he went down the docks. When he go there, he looked for a captain of any ship he could find. He walked almost all the way down the docks when he came on a ship preparing to leave. "Hello, is there anyone that can hear me up there?" he shouted up to the deck. The captain came over to the railing and looked over, "Why yes there is, how may I help you?" "Which way are you sailing?" he questioned. "East towards Karkendelle, why?" "What a coincidence, that is my hometown, just so happens to be where I'm heading. Do you think I may get a ride with you till Karkendelle?" Jarrett asked. "Yes ,you may, but you must hurry, we leave in one minute." "I am ready right now, but first I must give this letter to someone. I'll be right back," Jarrett said as he starting running back down the docks as fast as he could.
He reached the castle gates, and met a guard. "Make sure this reaches the Queen," Jarrett handed the letter, and bounded back down the docks as quick as he came. As he reached the ship he ran up the gang plank. When he was aboard the captain withdrew the plank, and they set off to sea.
