Okay guys, so the majority of this chapter is what was supposed to be in chapter five before my computer restarted on my. I had just found my notes while cleaning out my car so I'm putting it in here as a memory Rapunzel had while watching over Myles. It also is an opening for the next chapter which I may post tonight pending on how late it is. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to comment.
Rapunzel
When they heard a crash from Myles's office they all went running back finding it locked. Jack and Hiccup took turns running into it until they finally broke it open. The sight they saw wasn't one they expected, there was a woman with white hair her clothes were white and black with silver on her cuff and in her hair lying on the couch she was unconscious with a mist hovering over her. A table that had little china animal figures on it had been knocked over and Myles lay unconscious beside it surrounded by broken glass.
Rapunzel carefully walked over to Myles making sure to avoid the glass, she turned the older woman over and saw that water droplets were frozen solid turning her skin on her hands blue. Rapunzel struggled to get Myles up until Hiccup took her from Rapunzel and laid Myles on the other couch. Rapunzel took Myles's hand and rubbed it gently trying to get the blood flowing. She smiled remembering when she first saw Myles, it was just like this only the roles were reversed.

Rapunzel rubbed her eyes and tried to sit up, her body felt heavy, she tried to sit up again when cool hands gently forced her back down.
"Easy there," a voice whispered gently. "You breathed in a lot of that smoke, I think you need to relax while you heal."
Rapunzel looked up to see a woman with dark auburn hair and unusual silver eyes staring at her. The eyes were so open and full of emotion, Rapunzel looked around. It looked she was in a study, there was a fireplace but no fire. There was art on the walls, some painting and also some glossy pictures of people. There was even a mural of thirteen women all wearing gauzy white dresses under the stars with the sun and the moon in the back ground. She noticed that the woman that was with her was also in the mural. Rapunzel looked back at her.
"Who are you," she rasped her throat was dry and cracked.
Myles got a cup of water and helped Rapunzel drink at least most of it before answering her question. "My name is Myles, I came into your castle looking for you to see if we could help your kingdom, but I was too late. I was lucky to get you out alive if only just barely."
"Where am I?"
"They call this place the castle of the Guardians, but," Myles looked around her eyes filled with a slight bitterness. "Well one day it'll have a better name. I brought you here so that you can help stop what happened to your kingdom from happening to others."
"How?"
"I'll teach you, Rapunzel you were chosen by three very strong Guardian angels. Lyusya; Guardian of Light, her symbol is the sun just like in your kingdom, Haruna; Guardian of Wood, flowers and plants galore and you can speak to them soon I promise, and finally Catori; Guardian of Spirit, her power is a hard one but seeing how strong your spirit is I have no worries about you using the abilities she give you."
"Why me?"
"Because Rapunzel you are more amazing than you know."
Myles brushed Rapunzel's hair away from her face and Rapunzel was surprised to see a glint of gold. She pulled at her hair and saw that it was long and gold again, but not as long as it once was, she looked at Myles who nodded.
"It's not the exact same, you can control the length now and it is more compliant, you can even try different styles once you learned more about your new abilities."
"I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything Rapunzel," Myles took her hand and gently rubbed it soothingly. "And I promise you this, you will never have to be alone again. I will make sure you are with people who love you no matter what and just like you I never break a promise."
Rapunzel looked at her and with what she saw in the woman's eyes she decided to trust her, "What do I need to do?"

Weeks went by and every day twice a day for an hour she walked into Myles's study and sat on the couch. Myles always had a different exercise for her. She had listened to different flowers sing and understood why the rooster crowed at dawn, she finally was able to hold a true conversation with Pascal and Maximus. She helped seedling find the sun and even produced light for them when Myles blacked out the room. But today there were no trays, no flowers or animals. Myles was sitting at her desk looking tired, she was wearing a bright purple peasant blouse that tied at the front, under the desk Rapunzel could see black slacks with black dress shoes. Rapunzel had observed Myles for a while and noticed that when she was stressed or upset she tended to dress more feminine.
Myles looked up and smiled at Rapunzel setting a letter down and getting up to sit next to Rapunzel. Taking her hand she actually sat on the floor by Rapunzel.
"Rapunzel," said Myles softly. "Today we're gonna try something new with your powers. You're going to be exploring the castle, outside of your body. Now I don't want you to do this without me or one of the others do you understand?"
Rapunzel nodded and let Myles lay her down. Myles explained to Rapunzel its just like picturing herself getting up and walking out the door, only she wouldn't be physically moving. Rapunzel laid there feeling Myles's hand in hers doing just what she told her. Nothing happened, days went on like this but Myles was patient.
Finally while Rapunzel was doing her exercise she felt a tingling in her stomach, in her mind she reached the door and, went through it. She found herself in the hall and walked down, she could still feel Myles's hand in hers realizing it was an anchor so that she could get back into her body. Rapunzel walked down the hall and passed the training room she saw something flash in there and looked inside. She saw Johnathon and Mitch practicing with staves against a boy with white hair his skin paler than Myles's. They kept attacking him and the boy finally took flight dancing above their heads. Mitch laughed brushing back his red hair away from his brown eyes.
"That boy is good, he's utilizing Aure's gift well," Mitch said looking back at Johnathon.
"A little too well," Johnathon answered thoughtfully. "Has Myles looked into their bloodlines yet?"
"You kidding, with the up coming council meeting we're lucky she's even sleeping, or at least pretending to sleep," Mitch looked up again and gestured to the boy. "Jack come down and we'll show you a new move."
The boy apparently Jack came down and listened to the two men, Rapunzel watched only half paying attention. She was watching the boy with keen interest. He was different from Eugene both physically and personality wise, but she felt the same pull and caring. He was perfect in his own way, Rapunzel watched him until she felt a pull from her hand, she fought against the pull until she opened her physical eyes and saw Myles.
"Hate to disturb your exploring Rapunzel," she said softly. "But it's time for your training with Ruby."
Ever since then when she had her sessions with Myles she went looking for Jack. She was fascinated by him as well as drawn to him, she also saw two others and felt a pull to them too. In her private time she drew what she saw, Myles saw what she was drawing one day and smiled, encoraging Rapunzel to continue what she was doing.
When Myles released the spelled that stopped them from seeing each other Rapunzel realized how serious everything was getting, it was getting close to the time for them to make a decision about whether or not they were going to fight. Rapunzel looked at everyone and saw that she was standing between Merida and Hiccup, when Myles and Jack fought she saw how much Myles hated it but also knew the need for it. Rapunzel began to see Myles like a third Mother, gentle and caring wanting to shield them from the world but also knowing that there was no way to avoid it.

Johnathon at some point came into the room, he didn't move Rapunzel but looked at Myles's face carefully, it was fretful and her eyes were restless. Johnathon looked at the other woman and shook his head.
"Myles will be alright," he finally said. "She's just trying to find out what brought the ice priestess here. Looks like she was trying to heal her and well who knows."
"When do you think she'll wake," asked Hiccup. Johnathon shrugged and went back out, mumbling something about getting everyone ready for battle.
Everyone hovered around Myles, it felt like years be but Myles finally opened her eyes.
"Well," she croaked. "This is quite the reverse."
"Are you okay," asked Hiccup.
"I am," she looked over at the woman on the other couch then Rapunzel. "I'm sorry Rapunzel it looks like we're taking you home sooner than I thought, you're cousins are in trouble."
Elsa
Elsa and Anna both paced the room waiting for Nieve to return, she said she was going to get help from some very powerful friends but, the creatures hit her as she flew off. Elsa could still feel the bond she had made with Nieve but was still worried that something bad had happened. She wondered slightly who these friends were, and if they were like Nieve, or even if they could check on her family in Carona to see if they are alright.
"Where is she," Elsa asked to no one in particular as she looked out the window. Smoke was rising in the sky, the creatures were coming back.
Well there you go, the next chapter will be the Big four's first fight, it'll be interesting that's for sure. And more secrets will be revealed.
