Review so that way I don't suck so badly. I love your guidance. :D
DISCLAIMER: Frozen doesn't belong to me... sadly. But I do own Alex and Magnus1!
Windows
Alex blinked his eyes open slowly. He progressively regained his senses from under his covers and looked at his side to Magnus, who was sleeping soundly. Alex stretched his shoulders and rose from the bed. He sat up and set his feet on the floor. He yawned and stretched his arms outwards before standing and walking to the window. He looked outside to see the sun start to rise over the hills. He saw the darkness fade slowly away as the light penetrate the shadows of night.
He glanced to the right of the window to find the castle, halfway covered in light from the roof until it reached the middle. Alex loved that castle even though he had yet to know why. Alex huffed and turned to walk out of his room and outside. He then realized how hungry he was as he was walking downstairs. He thought back to yesterday and remembered he had only that bite of cone to eat. He inwardly slapped himself for being too excited to find work and not eat yesterday. Alex went into the kitchen and took out three pork chops and attached them to the top of the fire pit once more. He removed his glove and lighted the fresh charcoals into a blaze before he went upstairs. He looked into his room to see Magnus, still sleeping.
Remembering the way Alex was woken up yesterday he came up with an idea. He walked inside his room and chuffed his hands in front of his mouth. He then shouted Magnus's name loudly, causing the dog to jump up and look around, alert to everything until he realized it was Alex who had shouted at him. Magnus looked at him with what looked like an annoyed expression and growled lightly. Alex laughed, "Time to wake up!" he said with a smile before he walked downstairs again. Alex checked the meat and went back to the counter. He grabbed an apple from one of the grocery bags and chomped into the fruit. He looked back at Magnus who was staring at the food. Alex refocused his brown gaze to the window, watching the colors of the morning sky.
Alex turned the key to lock the door behind him and looked out to see the town busy with morning routines. He breathed in deeply and looked down at Magnus who was coming with him today. Alex made his way to the walls of the castle, Magnus following close behind with a wagging tail and lolling tongue. He had told Magnus of his own little training to be done today, and his friend seemed to be excited.
He came to the gates and walked up.
He made his way up to the guards, "Name and purpose?" they blocked his path.
Alex bowed slightly, "Alexander," he lifted his head, "I am here to see my dog for training. Surely the Queen has informed you?" He asked politely.
The guards looked at each other for a moment before turning back to Alex, "Dogs are not allowed inside the halls. So I will escort you around the castle to the course." one of them established before leading to the training course.
Alex smiled lightly at Magnus before following the guard.
Alex and Magnus made their way to the grounds. The guard nodded to them before turning to go back to his post. Alex looked around and saw a piece of paper with his name in dark black on the fancy, outdoor table.
He walked up to it and started reading, 'Alexander, this course has been reserved for you and your dog for the day. Anna should be there shortly after 8:30 to observe the progress and explain the details. This is a very new subject that we are touching, so take it seriously. I have taken a big step in shutting down the grounds to all others just for your dog. Don't take it lightly, good luck. -Elsa', Alex blinked.
He looked down at Magnus and then back at the note. The queen of Arendelle had granted him permission to train Magnus here for the day with no others. That was something Alex couldn't really understand. What made him so important that the queen would make the time for him and his dog? It was a weird feeling, but he felt happy that she'd do that for him.
Whatever it was, he could figure it out later, right now he had to start training Magnus. Alex looked at the course that he had just finished yesterday. Everything looked perfect, he assumed that it was cleaned up after his performance. Alex looked at the small clock that was placed on the table and read '8:24'. Anna should be there any minute.
Alex nodded to himself and set the paper back down. He looked at the course another time before looking to Magnus. His dog was stretching as if he knew that he'd be using his muscles.
"Alright buddy, let's start and see if you can make it before Anna gets here." he finished with a determined look.
Magnus barked loudly at him with a wagging tail.
Elsa finished putting her hair in the way it looked at her coronation. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long while. She stared at her pale skin and platinum blonde hair. She looked at all the little details before focusing her gaze on her eyes. She looked into the pits of light, ice blue. She didn't really know what to think at the moment, she just saw blue and that was that. Hesitantly, and unknowing of why, she reached for the part of her hair that pulled the whole hair style out. She held onto it remembering her time on the north mountain. She sighed before pulling it out and smoothing her hair back. She turned around, away from the mirror and smiled lightly at her hands. She was comfortable and free to be who she was without judgement.
She walked to her window and looked at the townsfolk. She watched as some of them shopped, some of them were talking, others were just walking. She watched all of her subjects and thought of how grateful she was to be able to be herself without them being scared of her. She was about to walk out the door and into the halls, but before she could twist the knob she heard a slight commotion coming from outside. She turned and with a confused expression, walked to the other window that was slightly opened, facing the grounds. She looked down to barely see one of the guards leaving. She moved her gaze lower to see that same man who was there yesterday.
Elsa felt her heart pick up slightly and put her hand over her chest. She looked down at herself, wondering what was going on with her heart. This didn't normally happen at all, this new occurrence just started up after she opened the door to Anna and Alexander yesterday. She was absolutely confused as to why it started to do that, although she has observed that these effects only occur after she looks at Alexander. She wondered why. Surely it couldn't be an attraction. Elsa was never interested in men.. but then again she hadn't seen many people in her lifetime so far. Yet she knew that love had never really crossed her mind. She never thought of the love fantasy, that every girl seemed to think about everyday. The only people Elsa had really loved were her parents, and Anna. She never put her love onto any other being besides the sentimental factor of Olaf, their childhood friend that had been given life by her hand. Elsa realized what she was thinking of and quickly shook it off. How silly it was for her to think of this nonsense. She had only just met the man for gods sake! It'd couldn't be attraction so she closed the issue for good.
She looked back down at Alexander and ignored the beat in her chest. He grabbed the note she had written for him and after a few moments he looked at the dog that was with him and then back at her note. She flicked her gaze at the dog. It was a brown husky with shining amber eyes. The dog seemed strong enough to run the course but Elsa was still in doubt. She began to be interested in what they might do. She looked on the grounds for a few moments. How could a mere dog get through a course made for people? Elsa looked back at the husky who barked loudly. This dog seemed capable, but capable of this? She pondered the thought before deciding that she shouldn't judge them yet. She had only seen what the animal looks like so far, she had yet to experience it's ability. Elsa looked at the two figures below and quickly forgot what she was doing before. They seemed excited and began to trot over to the starting point.
Elsa jumped at the sudden appearance of Anna, busting through the doors to see Alex and his dog. She sighed and looked at her sister with soft eyes through the window.
