Hey guys, sorry for the wait, but if your read my alert from an earlier time I am back in school and I am dying. I got hit with two honors classes this semester and I am wishing I only stuck with the one honors class I was assigned. Two of my teachers are really weird; my honors biology teacher seems deceivingly evil, he is like the gym coach who says he wants to be your friend but he doesn't mean it. My Computer Business Application (CBA) teacher is one of those teachers that always smiles, even when she is threatening you with detention or something like that.
So let's recap what happened in the previous chapter; Elsa completely lost it at the party, Odin tries to convince her to stay and try to fix things but he ends up getting shot in the shoulder by Elsa's magic. Anna wants to go after her sister and bring her back, but Odin, even though his shoulder is wounded, he volunteers in Anna's place. After searching for a long time, he finally finds Elsa on the North Mountain. He tries to convince her to come back, but Elsa doesn't want to go back; after an argument between the two, Odin decides to leave her since she won't try to fix her problems. When he reaches Arendelle he tells Anna and Hans that he tried everything but Elsa won't come back. But Odin's father gets up in Odin's face saying all these nasty things about him. This really pisses off Odin, so much that he burns his father alive. Everyone becomes so scared of him that they try to kill him; Odin flees and goes back to Elsa to beg for her forgiveness. She forgives him and together they start to plan their revenge on Arendelle, and they become the Snow Queen and the Fire King.
Now we come to where it has been two weeks since Elsa lifted the curse off Arendelle; even though everyone is happy to have summer back, the want to have Elsa pay for her crimes. So enjoy and please review!
Hans: Two weeks have passed since the end of the eternal winter, and I still couldn't believe it. When we saw the snow start to melt and the fjord begin to thaw, everyone became excited to have summer back. Even now people are still happy about it, but even with that happiness the people wanted more. They all still blamed the queen for taking their summer, freezing the fjord, and putting Arendelle in a deep freeze; they all wanted the queen to pay for her actions, there have even been rumors that the people are beginning to hire bounty hunters to go after the queen. I originally would've have gone along with the plan so I could have the throne for Arendelle, but after all that has happened, these people already have enough problems as if. So now my number one priority is not taking the city, but trying to keep under control; I knew that the people wouldn't rest until they saw their queen in shackles and this murderous prince in the sights of a crossbow. I knew that I had to take a search party with me to capture Odin and Elsa, but I know that Anna won't allow it unless I get her permission. She didn't want to see her sister in a jail cell neither did I, but for the sake of order in Arendelle it had to be done.
I went to the den to ask for Anna's permission; when I walked in I saw her quietly reading a book, she was trying to relax from all the unrest that has been happening for the past two weeks. This unrest has taken a toll on the both of us, especially Anna since it was mostly about her sister. I went over and sat next to her on the couch that faced the fireplace; she looked up at me and gave me small smile. "Anna, I need to talk to you about something," I said.
"Sure dear, what it is," she asked.
"I want your permission go to the North Mountain with a search party."
"What for, you're not planning to kill Elsa are you?"
"No, I want to get Odin, Elsa is no longer the main threat," that was a little bit of a lie. They were both a threat, Elsa almost committed genocide, according to the people, and Odin committed mass murder. If they're in an alliance, who knows what the two could do together? I couldn't tell her of want I really intended to do. "Odin is a murder, he deserves to be brought to justice," I said.
"I don't know, what if Odin is holding Elsa captive, if we attack him won't he threaten to kill her?"
"I won't let that happen, I will bring Elsa back down with when we have Odin arrested." She had a concerned look on her face; I was beginning to wonder if she wanted to have her sister back. She nodded in agreement after a few minutes of thought; I kissed her on the cheek and said, "I will take six other men with me and we will bring this criminal to justice." I left her there on the couch and went to the courtyard, which was now open to the public, and made an announcement to the people there.
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention," I shouted, everyone's looked to me, "Princess Anna has given me permission to take a search party and look for the mass murderer Prince Odin of Hadendelle."
"Why do we want the prince," someone shouted.
"We don't want him, we want the queen," shouted another.
"Who cares if the prince killed four people, that witch nearly committed genocide!'
I knew that the people wouldn't be happy unless I brought Elsa down from the mountains as well, "I will bring down Elsa as well, but it will be your decision, not mine, to decide her fate."
"Shoot her! Purge her from this world!" The crowd became restless, even the guards began to shout along with the crowd. After all of this was over I got four of Arendelle's soldiers and the Duke of Weselton's body guards. We each saddled up on a horse and rode to the North Mountain; the journey took three long, boring hours not even worth telling, mostly it was trying to get our steed up the mountain, thankfully we were able to find a path that lead to the top.
When we were near the top of the mountain, we were blocked by a giant castle completely made out of ice. This must be where she and Odin lived; I got off my horse and reminded the men, "We are here to arrest Odin, but no harm is to come to the queen, do you understand?" They all agreed but didn't really sound like they wanted to. I came to the stair case that lead to the castle entrance, next to the stair case was a giant mound of snow, for some odd reason. But the mound turned out to be a snow monster that guarded the entrance. It began to throw giant punches at us, we attacked it with all we had, swords, spears, and crossbows, but it seemed our attacks only made it angrier. It punched two of my men against a rock, who then began to run up the stairs to the entrance leaving us to fight this thing.
Elsa: I heard them pound on the door trying to get in, I ran upstairs to my room. I heard them barge in while I was running up. They followed me into my room; both of them had crossbows, both aimed at me. I began to feel afraid, "no, please don't." One shot at me, I put my hands up to guard myself, and I created a small ice wall that barely stopped the arrow from hitting me. They began to move around the room trying to get a better angle on me. "Stay away," I shouted as I shot some ice at them. They wouldn't back down, no matter how much of my power I shot at them. Eventually it became a Mexican standoff, me against them; one aimed his crossbow at me ready to fire, but I pinned him against the wall with a bunch of icy spikes with one pointed towards his throat. The other almost got a shot on me, but I knocked the bow out of his hand before he could take the shot. He started to run but I blocked him off from any way of escaping; I saw that he in front of the door to the side balcony, I made a tall thick sheet of ice that I began to move and pushed him out on the edge of the balcony. Just as I was about to push him off, I heard Hans run in with four others at his side. "Queen Elsa," he shouted, "don't be the monster they fear you are!" I looked back at him and began to put down my powers; just as I began to walk near him, he ran to side and pushed up the arm of the pinned soldier that was about shoot me. The arrow went straight up and broke the cord that was holding up the chandelier. I looked up saw it coming down on me; panicking I began to run but I wasn't fast enough because the last thing I remember was darkness and high pitched noise ringing in my ears.
When I woke up, I found myself in a jail cell, it was no question to where in the world I was, and I was back in Arendelle. I got up and heard a crowd gathering outside my window; I went up to see what was going on but I was yanked back. I looked down and saw that my hands were in a special type of cuff that covered both of my hands; they were attached to chains that were linked to the floor. I leaned my body toward the window and saw that I was right, a great crowd had gathered in the courtyard; I also saw that they had brought out the firing squad wall, but what for? I heard the door open, turned and saw Hans walk through; he had a look on his face like he just regretted something he had just done. "Ah, good you're awake," he said.
"Why did you bring me back, I am no longer a threat to you," I said.
"There was unrest throughout Arendelle, the people wanted their queen back…to answer for what she had done."
"What do you mean, I lifted the curse what more do you people want?"
"I gave them the decision of what we should with you when we returned with you. They have made their decision…they chose," he stopped for a moment trying to swallow the lump in his throat, "execution, you are to be killed by a firing squad in an hour."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, they really wanted me dead and I thought I was just being scared. I began to worry that this is how the plan would end, "where's Anna, I want to talk to her."
"Anna has refused to come and see you, after she heard the people's decision she didn't want to see her sister before she was executed. She is still weeping over what has happened."
I couldn't believe that Anna didn't want to see me, I guess it would be for the best; if she was about to die, I don't want to see her death face. I began to cry and moan, Hans left me on the ground in my tears, I wanted to spend my last few moments remembering all the happy moments in my life. Playing with Anna when we were little, meeting Odin for the first time, reuniting with Anna, and having my first dance with Odin. I didn't want to forget both them, I wanted to remember them even after I died.
When the time came for me to be brought out, two guards came in, unshackled me from my prison chains, they put my hands behind my back and put normal handcuffs on my wrists. I was brought out into the court yard by screams of hatred and jeering. I was placed in front of the firing wall with four firing squad members in front of me. The crier came out and yelled, "Queen Elsa of Arendelle, you are here by charged with treason against your own kingdom and for attempting genocide on the citizens of Arendelle. Your punishment is death by firing squad, have you any last words." I was silent for a few minutes and then I shouted, "The time has come!"
Everyone shouted with praise thinking that I meant the time has come for me to die, but I really meant something else. The firing squad leader ordered, "Men, make ready!" The bowman set their crossbows ready to fire, "Take aim!" They all took aim on me, "Fire!" the leader shouted but two seconds before that, a hooded came out of the side of the crowd and cracked a fiery whip around the crossbow of the guard farthest from the squad leader, pulled his bow causing all of them to aim toward their leader and shoot at him and killing the leader. I only knew one person who could do something like that, it was Odin. I gave a devious smile toward the crowd, "let the party begin," I shouted and I broke the handcuffs with ease. I conjured up four icicles and threw them at the firing squad killing every single one of them. Odin blew a whistle that caused 15 of our troops, which he created from his powers, and began to attack all the soldiers in the courtyard, now we had created chaos.
Odin: Our plan had worked; I knew that the people would be blinded by hatred to think that Elsa would give up so easily. The battle became an epic fight, 17 of us against hundreds of them; we were almost like the 300 Spartans. The men I created had the same powers as me; they shot fire balls, shot streams of fire, and swung around whips of fire. We were killing them right and left; while I and my men burned them alive, Elsa either froze them in place or impaled them with icicles big or small. Eventually, the entire Arendelle army was on us and we started to become over whelmed; I saw a few of my men get cut down, once a fire soldier got hit critically his bright orange glow, that resembled him as fire, fades and eventually they become a pile of black ash. I struck down men left and right trying to hold them back, until I saw Hans enter the battle with his sword in hand; I knew I had to kill him; he is one of the people that Arendelle looks up to. I came towards him, while forging two fire swords in my hand, and we were then in a dual like no other. We struck at each other trying make even the slightest blow on one another, but I knew that he found my weak spot quicker than I could find his. When he had an opening on me, he punched my shoulder that had the ice chunk in it; I couldn't feel any pain unless pressure was applied and that punch surely did the trick. I grasped my shoulder trying to hold in my scream from the pain, I took a few more swings at Hans but he dodged them all and eventually he punched it again. The pain became worse and worse, I couldn't gather the strength to swing at him again but I had enough to stand. He punched it one more time, which took me down for the count. I was kneeling in front of him; I could sense his sword above me ready to strike, I was too weak to do anything. He drew his sword back and swung it down at me, but the blade never reached me; I looked up and he was frozen in a block of ice, Elsa must have saved me I am forever in her debt. She picked me up off the ground and ordered a retreat, there were only two of my men left from the fight. When we exited the courtyard, I was too weak to fly myself and Elsa back to the castle; thankfully my men could also fly, one carried Elsa while the other carried me. When we reached the castle, we went down to camp that we had building for a while in order to house our army; yeah that's right we got an army, about 5,000 fire and ice soldiers. Anyway, Elsa took me to the medical tent; I was still blurry from the pain I didn't know what Elsa was saying. But I could feel what they were doing; they were applying some magic that could fully heal any wound, which Elsa has been teaching for days. When the treatment was over, I began to fully understand what was going on now; Elsa leaned over me and said, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes," I replied, "the pain is finally gone. Push it."
"What?"
"Push my right shoulder; I want to see if the wound is fully gone." She put her hands on my shoulder and gave it a hard push. There was no pain from the wound anymore, no matter how much pressure was applied; I began to laugh in relief. "Oh finally, no more early morning shoulder pains."
Elsa giggled a little at my comment, "Well now that your weak spot is gone, you finally fight Hans. Let's go after him tomorrow!"
"Whoa, hold on a second. We just got back from our little guerrilla raid, that plan took days to come up with. They now know that you and I are major threats, we will prove it even more eventually but right now we need our rest." I gave her a soft kiss on the lips, she didn't want to agree but she knew that I was right. Now they know that we are to be feared, and that we are ruthless. They will soon see the full power of this army, we will rise.
Anna: I couldn't believe what I just saw; Elsa killing people that does not seem anything like her. I couldn't believe that she and Odin had planned this entire thing, all of it was an act so that they could strike fear into the hearts of Arendelle's citizens. I don't know what made Hans want to bring Elsa back down, he should've known that I didn't want her down here it is too dangerous for her. I was just about to walk down stairs to see the damage, but the captain of the guard had the same idea. "Captain Henrik," I said, "what is the damage?"
"150 men killed and 225 more wounded," replied Henrik.
"Where is Prince Hans, I want to see if he is okay."
"We are thawing him out right now your majesty."
This really confused me, "What do you mean 'thawing him out.'"
"Well," said Henrik, scratching the back of his head, "Elsa kind of…froze him in a block of ice, we trying to set him and 50 more men free. So what do you want us to do about Odin and Elsa, shall we hunt them down?"
"No," I answered, "if those two had soldiers that strong, they might have an entire army at their disposal. Going after them will be a waste of time, they will return but much stronger. Prepare the troops for war captain."
"Yes your majesty." Henrik left the room rushing down the stairs; I knew that I am usually very quirky and childish sometime, but after this attack it is time for me to grow up and take responsibilities. This kingdom is without a leader and now I must be the one who has to show the people that not all hope is lost. It's a good thing that my coronation is in a few weeks; hopefully the people will become stronger now that they will have queen.
That wraps up Chapter 4 of the Fire King; I hope you guys enjoyed it. Please leave a review down at the bottom, fav/fallow this story if you would please. There probably won't be another chapter for a while but I will try to get one in by next Friday and if we get lucky, maybe this Saturday. Also feel free to make suggestions on what should happen next, good bye and dream on!
PS: I am planning on doing a Jack Frost x Elsa story and I am not sure if I should do it. Please shout in the reviews "dream on" if you think I should go along doing; I will need about 25-50 votes on this.
