Arendelle was silent, nothing moving at all. The town had been reduced to rubble by the outburst of ice spikes created a mere hour ago. The lands were nothing but a sea of spike stretching a mile in all directions. Silence, was the former kingdom's only companion.

Crack!

William melted a path through be ice spikes, in the direction that he had seen the three girls go earlier on.

"Steyton?" William yelled out.

"Over here!" Steyton replied as he forced open what was left of the castle doors, icicles cracking as he pushed it. "My god...Arendelle...it's completely destroyed."

"Elsa is not going to like this." William said as he surveyed the destruction. "Are there any surviving soldiers?"

"No sir. It's only us." Steyton replied.

"Cmon. We have to go now. There's nothing left here and I fear that Elsa, Anna and Lea may be injured." William said as he looked in the direction that the dragon had crashed. "We go now!"


"Elsa...we're going to have to rest for a while." Anna moaned as she readjusted Lea son that it didn't strain her back as much.

"We can't Anna. That's exactly what the snow queen or Lionheart will want Elsa said, though fatigue was clearly showing on her face as well.

"Elsa...as you alright?" Anna asked. It was that she realized that Elsa seemed weaker.

"I'm fine Anna." Elsa said as she tried to put on a smile, but Anna saw straight through it. She quickly laid Lea down against an nearby tree and pulled her sister back. "Anna! What are you...no!"

"ELSA!" Anna screamed seeing a massive gash on Elsa's abdomen. Unfortunately, the blood already on Elsa's dress from the attack earlier on hid the bleeding wound which must have been attained from the crash. "That's it! We are staying put for a while."

"What! No! We're exposed out here!" Elsa said. Anna shop her head as she pointed towards a cave nearby.

"Not if we're in there we're not..."

It too longer than expected to get up into that cave since Lea wasn't exactly a pillow to carry. Then, Anna still had to help her sister up as well since the gash was proving it quite difficult for Elsa to stretch her torso. By the the time they got up there, it was already the afternoon and the sun was starting to set.

"Anna...what are you doing?" Elsa asked as she watched her sister tap on the cave walls. "Anna?"

Elsa gasped when Anna pulled out one of the rocks revealing a secret room filled with numerous goods. Elsa watched as Anna opened the room and returned a few seconds later carrying some vials and a book.

"Anna. How did you know about that?" Elsa asked.

"Well, I don't think I should really explain that right now." Anna replied as she lifted up Elsa's dress slightly and undid one of the bottles she had emerged from the room with.

"Why not...AAH!" Elsa screamed as Anna poured some of the brown liquid on the gash on her abdomen. Anna bit her lip as she watched a tear escape from her sister's eye.

"Sorry..." Anna apologized as she rubbed her sister's arm."

"That hurt Anna..." Elsa said weakly as she continued to wince from the pain.

"I needed to disinfect the wound." Anna said as she sealed the bottle and placed it aside. She handed her sister the book as she walked over to her coat she had on and went through the pockets, emerging a few seconds layer with a couple of chocolates.

"What's the book for?" Elsa asked.

"Its just in case you want to occupy yourself with something. It's not safe traveling at night so we'll be staying here." Anna said to Elsa's shock.

"Anna...its not safe..."

"It's definitely not safe out there either. At least the cave is deep enough to hide the fire." Anna commented as she gave Elsa a piece of chocolate.

"So...do you want explain how you know this place and why there's a secret room there?" Elsa asked her sister.

"I don't know...I don't think I'm ready..." Anna said.

"I thought we said no more secrets..." Elsa whimpered.

"I hate you."

"Anna?" Elsa said as tears began to form in her eyes. "That hurts..."

"What? NO!" Anna squealed seeing that she had upset her sister. "I'm not saying that to you...I love you more than any thing now! What I mean was...remember when we were kids and I asked you to build a snowman...and then when you rejected I got so upset that i screamed I hate you..."

"Oh yeah." Elsa said as she wiped a tear, relieved that Anna didn't mean it. "I think I was 15 back then...you knocked on my door and I said go away. Then you told me that you hated me...and I...couldn't stop crying for days..."

"Oh Elsa. I'm so sorry!" Anna said as she cuddled her sister. "I didn't mean that..."

"I thought you did..."

"I would never mean that!" Anna shouted as she picked Elsa's cheek causing her to smile lightly.

"I know...so, what does that have to do with this cave?"

"Mama and papa never told you?" Anna asked. Elsa shook her eyes in response.

"Told me what?" Elsa asked.

"I...I...I ran away..." Anna muttered. Elsa just gaped in disbelief. Her sister actually ran away once?

"What?" Was all Elsa could make out.

"Yeah. I left a note telling mama and papa that I was running away, but I told them not to tell you so you wouldn't be upset."

"Well of you didn't return home I would have found out one way or another." Elsa whispered to her as they both lay back against the cave wall. "So, I'm guessing you came back..."

"Wow. That's highly perceptive of you...however did you know?" Anna asked sarcastically.

"Really? Sarcasm at this moment?" Elsa said with a giggle.

"Do you wanna know the story or not?" Anna asked.

"I could do with a story..." Elsa giggled.

"Aw. The little snowflake wants to hear a bedtime story..." Anna cooed.

"I will bury you in an avalanche!"

"What, its cute..."

"Just tell the story." Elsa said with a light giggle.

"Okay, so anyway, I decide to run away because I thought you hated me. So, I grabbed as much food as I could, and by food I meant chocolate, and stiffed it in a rack sac along with some dresses, books for medicine, a dagger and some other stuff. Then that night! I of the castle and sneaked past the guards and everyone till I reached the forest. I remember spending the first night in small abandoned cabin in the woods and the first thing I could think off was what mama and papa would think when they found out."

"Well, I remember hearing screamed coming from your to but I just assumed that you had done something stupid again." Elsa said with a laugh.

"Hey...so anyway, I spent the next day wandering around the forest looking for water, which was hard since we had a drought at that time and the only stream I knew was dry. Eventually I found a small pond and drank some water from that and that is when I decided to head north, towards this area. By the night time I found this cave and I decided to settle here for a while. Its big and space so I decided to use it like my retreat place. I got some dark wood and covered that space there and that's where I stuffed some food and all the stuff I brought. Anyway, I started to get lonely after a while so I started to hang out with the local wood cutters here. They knew I was the princess and they were the ones who Gabe me the medicines and more food. Anyway, by the fourth day I was starting to miss mama and papa. But the person I missed most was actually you."

Elsa couldn't help but sniffle at how heartwarming that sounded.

"So...by the fifth day, one of the word cutters persuaded place return home...but I didn't want to...until he said something to me..."

"What did he say?" Elsa asked. She sounded like a young girl engrossed in a story and Anna couldn't help but giggle.

"Well, he said, even though they may not show it, deep inside they love you very much and are extremely worried that you've gone, and I know because when I went to town, the king and queen were actually running all over the place asking everyone if they had seen you...i can see the sadness in their eyes since they were both crying. Anna, please just go home...go to your family...to to your sister...Those were the exact words he said to me."

"Wow..." Elsa said as she held back tears. "Anna...mama and papa never told me you ran away..."

"I told them not to." Anna said as Elsa cuddled her tighter. "I didn't want you to get worried..."

"Anna...I...I guess worry wouldn't be able to describe it...I might have frozen the fjord back then." Elsa said.

"Well enough sadness...want some chocolate?" Anna asked as she held out more chocolate. Elsa was about to grab one but her attention was drawn instead to Lea, who was beginning to stir.

"Hmm...what happened?" Lea muttered as she rubbed her head.

"LEA!" Elsa and Anna screamed together as they ran towards the Solarian queen. "Are you alright?"

"I think..." Lea mumbled as she looked around. "I don't remember what happened!"

"Well, the dragon was shot down and we went down with it." Anna said. "Then this ice soldier landed and tried to stab you but I smashed his head in before he got a chance."

"Oh...thank you..." Lea said as Anna helped her up. "So...where are we?"

"In a cave. I think we're about a mile from the fleet that Westerguard was talking about." Anna stated. "But its too late to move now."

"Oh...are you sure that no one can see us here?" Lea asked as she looked at Elsa's bloodied dress. "Your hurt..."

"Oh, its fine..." Elsa was silenced as Lea healed the gash on her abdomen like last time. "Thanks...are you okay yourself?"

"Yeah...I think..." Lea said with a smile. "So...I don't suppose you brought any food..."

"I have chocolate..."

"That'll do!" Lea said causing them all to giggle as they finished the rest of the chocolates.


"Where the heck are we?!" Nicholas screamed as he looked around.

"Well, this is north..." Kristoff said. "I don't suppose any of you could verify that?"

The accompanying villagers just shook their heads.

"Great...well we'll just continue heading north till we reach that fleet than William talked about..."

"You're heading west."

"AAAAHHH...Oh hey William." Nicholas greeted as he saw the Solarian king and Steyton emerge from the bushes. "I don't suppose you've seen Elsa or Anna?"

"No...I was hoping you had." William said. Nicholas shook his head in response. "Damn. Hopefully they headed in the direction I told them too. Luckily Lea is with them so she could help..."

"Well, northwards it is..."

2 hours later...

"Are you sure that we are heading in the right direction?" Nicholas asked William. They had recently left the few villagers that accompanied them, inside a small hunters shack that was empty. Now, they were busy looking for Elsa and Anna and Lea, who they knew would still be in the woods, probably injured...oh...they had Lea.

"Yes...I'm sure..." William said with a scowl since Nicholas hadn't shut up for the last hour. Kristoff was just as annoying, because despite him not saying much, he barely stayed awake...

"Where the heck could they be?" William asked. He looked around and his sight was caught on a cave. "Shall we check in there?"

"Well, it looks comfy enough to sleep in so...they could be there..." Nicholas said as the three of them approached the cave. They couldn't see any sign of light as they entered it, but that didn't deter them. Nicholas drew his weapon quietly in preparation, in case they met a bear or something else. They slowly proceeded deeper into the cave as they saw it slant upwards.

"Uh...I'm not the only one who's seeing that...right?" Nicholas asked as he gestured to the pale orange glow in front of him. The three men slowly rounded the corner and their eyes widened when they caught sight of the campfire that had been set up in the middle. Their eyes darted towards a small huddle in the corner. They tried desperately tried to hold back their gasps...and aww's.

There, in the corner of the cave, were Elsa, Anna, and Lea, huddled up together, sleeping on each other.

"I will never understand girls...when they do it, it looks bloody adorable. When men do it, it looks downright gay!" Nicholas commented quietly, earning him a snigger from William and Kristoff.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I'm staying here for tonight." Kristoffyawned as he sat down on the other side of the cave. Nicholas and William just followed as well as they laid back on different parts of the cave as well. William crafted four, rifle armed, ice soldiers to guard the entrance while they slept. In a shocking revelation, the last few hours have actually been peaceful with no sign of Lionheart or the snow queen. But they knew this period of serenity wouldn't last. The enemy was just getting ready to strike again, and they knew that this time, the snow queen would go to every length to ensure victory. But for now, for the first time in days, peace had finally revealed itself, even if it was only for a short while.

That could all change in the morning...


Hans continued to flip through the Concordus. He saw numerous forms of curses and incantations. Some giving powers, others performing other stuff...he had seemed pretty drawn to the fire powers but, out of curiosity, he decided to run through the book to see if there was anything else that might be even better.

"Telepathy...Ooh...damn...charm too complex. Hmm, wind power? May, I'm not a bloody windmill. Damn it!" Hans sigsighed as he proceeded to flip back to the chapter about fire powers. Just as he was about to reach the page, a small crumpled piece of paper fell from the book.

"What's this..." He muttered. His eyes widened in shock as he reqd the paper.

The gift of Nec...

"What the...Nec...the heck is that?

" Slowly, a smile began to dawn on Hans' face as he read the inscription on it. To his amazement, it was in English...which was strange since the book was supposed to be Norwegian. He followed the instructions as be drew a pentagram on the ground and stood inside it.

The soul of the grim reaper...

Cast so clear...

The strength of a specter...

Without any fear...

I give up my soul...

Intact and whole...

For the powers of death...

I take my last breath...

And I shall now strife...

As I relinquish my life...

Hans suddenly gasped as it felt like his heart had suddenly stopped in his chest. He lurched forward as be fell to the ground and started to gag, unable to breathe at all. Slowly, everything started to darken as a small figure appeared in front of him. It looked like a ball...

Slowly, a face materialized at him...which suddenly lurched forward, the picture of a demon so horrifying that it literally made Hans' blood turn cold as his eyes finally closed...and he took his last breath.

He didn't know how long he was out for, but as Hans woke up, something seemed off... Everything around him seemed...strange. He stood up and was shocked to find the cave floor complete black...as if the stone had aged for millennia...

"What the..." Hans uttered as he looked around. He felt different, yet he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. He slly walked out of the cave that be was staying in and stared at the green forest on front of him. He held his hands out forward...expecting fire, or ice, or water or some bloody thing to happen, but nothing happened.

"Oh, come on!" Hans growled as he rested his hand against a tree. What could nec, mean? His thought was interrupted by an branch falling on his head. He looked up and what he saw made him gasp in horror. The tree was completely dead. Rotten. The leaves brown and moldy. The trunk was black and crumbly.

Hans stared at it one more time before staring at his hands...no...he couldn't have done that...could he? What had that curse done to him? Hans quickly ran over to a nearby stream and looked at his reflection in the water. He screamed!

His auburn hair was no longer auburn...it was black...a grayish black, like that of mold. And his skin was pale, so pale that it made Elsa's skin look rosy red. His eyes were the only feature that retained its original color, but other than that...he essentially looked dead.

Something still seemed off though, and as he put a hand to his chest, he realized what it was. He thought he was hallucinating...dreaming...but this wasn't a dream...it was reality,...and what he felt in his chest, or more specifically, what he didn't feel, shocked him unbelievably.

His heart...was no longer beating. He had no pulse. No life...He was...Dead!

Yet he was alive...how...

Curiousity got the better of him as he touched the water. The minute he touched it, it turned green and slimy. The entire stream literally died in front of him. He watched as fish suddenly floated to the surface, no longer alive.

What power was this...could it be?

Hans stood up and walked over to a nearby tree. The moment his hands touched it, the tree started to rot and die. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Be went to another tree, and another, and another, and each the time, the result was the same. Everything he touched seemed to whither away and die, rotting in front of his eyes.

He saw a small deer wounded on the ground. This was the ultimate test. He walked over to it and placed his hand on its head. He gasped in shock as the deer's fur turned gray. Its skin rotting before his very eyes. He watched as it turned into a rotting carcass covered in mold, before watching it resolve into bones...and finally dust.

With a grin, he stood up and stared at everything around him. With all the will power he had, he slammed his foot onto the ground. He watched in awe as everything, the entire forest, rotted and decayed away in front of him. Every tree within a mile turns black, their leaves falling apart as the trees became covered in mold. He watched as nearby rabbit turned to rotting carcasses and then skeletons. He watched as the ground turned blocks. He could smell the putrid smell of rotting wood, of death...yet it seemed welcoming. He took another deep breath of the stench of death surrounding him, and he couldn't help but smile.

"The powers of Necrosis!" Hans whispered. He slowly let out a laugh...an evil laugh as the forest around him resolved into dust.

"Oh Lecter. You have no idea what is coming your way...and neither do you...Elsa!"


FUUUUUUUUUUUUU...HANS HAS THE POWERS OF NECROSIS!
