A/N, Hey, check this out, a chapter about Elsa, from me! In all honesty, I love Anna as a character. She's this warm, snugly, loving, teddy bear of a person who's just adorable, but very impetuous, brave,and of course, feisty. With just a touch of vulnerability. And I seem to love stomping on her continuously. :)
Elsa comes off as cold, logical, and fear runs her life. But with the help of her sister, she too gets the loving streak, and her fear gets under control. This is why they never should have been separated. But in order to get Yoseph and Anna together, all these events had to happen, as sad as it was. As I wrote the Angels Awaken saga, I gained a new found respect for Elsa. I felt she deserved her own chapter, and she's still my Elsa, just a little older, wiser, and softer. Well...for the most part. This chapter is years in the future, as the Holy Ones begin to grow...
Auntie Elsa was out in the courtyard green space with the kids. She had built the neatest little ice fort for them to play in. After a while she then walks out with a tray full of cupcakes to get them all sugared up before sending them back to us.
She was the coolest Aunt ever, literally and figuratively. Who else around here could build you stuff, tell great war stories, make sure you're the snazziest dresser, and give you all these yummy treats to eat?
Auntie Elsa did have a very important role in the raising of these children, she would pass forth her great knowledge of math and science. Maybe this was the role she was truly destined for. Later in life she would teach at the University, to waste that talent baking cupcakes seemed criminal at the time. But helping to raise the Holy Ones was even more important to her than being Queen.
A couple of times she had made an all magic power boat to take them out into the fjord. Little Alva would keep yelling "Again!" as Auntie Elsa would punch it. They too had the need for speed, it would be there in the world they would rule.
Rule the World, I bet someday I'm going to regret knowing this. Just then I got a knock on the door.
"Admiral, we found him." Damn, this was going to be a long day.
Out in the stables were the remains of Hans Westergaard. His skeleton was found in a small ravine only a kilometer from the castle. It had been found by some children who were playing hide and seek, guess they got more than seek. I told the guards to be sure to bring the parents before the Queen. She will want to make sure the children are not traumatized.
There he was, that murderous son of a bitch. The worst part was knowing what this swine was going to do to Anna, and to the world. Only the skull, rib cage, and hipbone were left of him, looks like the wolves got the rest.
Then I seen it. jammed between two of his ribs was a snapped off piece of antler,... Sven, my God, Sven must have done this. He shoved him into the ravine. But when? Right after he killed Kristoff? The timing would be off. That means Mesethieon lied, that's not possible! How could God lie to me? Or did Sven stalk him down later? Did God command Sven to kill him? There was no way to know the answers.
Once again, my faith would be tested. I have practically met God himself, and now doubt has crept in. For a moment, I thought I should launch an investigation, and find out if Hans had maybe hid out in one of the local villages and bide his time, then launch a strike against the Princess. But it was all just a theory, and maybe I should just let it go. God and I both got what we wanted, and that'll just have to do. Hans is dead, he'll never be able to hurt anyone again. But there has to be an evil behind Hans, and I will have to be ever vigilant. Anna and the children must be protected at all costs.
I sneakily took the piece and put it in my pocket. I didn't want my new personal hero to be implicated in any way. Sven would be very old by now, if alive at all. After Kristoffs death he was never seen again.
Oh, how I wish I could have been there for that. Good boy.
"So this is what's left of him?" The Queen kinda' sucked the air out of the room, I'd soon realize why. "Your Majesty, It has been confirmed." The guard handed her a button, it had the Westergaard crest on it.
So she walked up to the corpse, ripped the skull off of it, and stared straight into the eye sockets for a moment. Then she wrapped it up in a small horse blanket and tucked it under her arm. Looks like the bad-ass is not gone after all. I couldn't help but grin.
"Two things gentlemen. I want this piece of shit off Arendelles Kingdom before sundown, and I was NOT here, understood!?" A chorus of "Yes, your Majesty." was said by all, nearly in unison. After she walked out one guard said to another, "Remind me to never piss her off." Indeed.
Anna and I sat down for a quiet dinner by ourselves. Getting the children to eat after a day with Auntie Elsa was an exercise in futility. The strange actions by the Queen today made my curious nature come out, so I decided to grill the wife.
"Anna, I was wondering. After seeing your sister with the kids today, why didn't she take a husband, and have children of her own?" As soon as I said it, I realized I had touched a nerve. But our relationship together would not rest on a bed of secrets and lies.
"She's barren."
So that was is it. All these years of being stumped by these mysteries. She didn't want to marry then not be able to produce offspring. She was depending on Anna for that. And at one time for Kristoff to be a father.
"Does she know why?"
"No, but it's assumed it had something to do with her powers, her womb was possibly frozen as a child. The "experts" couldn't give my parents a straight answer."
Wow, and I thought her being locked away was bad. That doesn't hold a candle to this. "That's horrible, now I feel bad for asking."
"I'm surprised you didn't ask sooner, husband."
I really didn't feel like talking much after that. We just ate our meals in peace. But I wonder if somehow Hans had gotten to the Queen before the day of the coronation. If he did, what did he say? Or do? Or was she upset about what he might have done to Anna? These mysteries will probably follow me to the grave, maybe in the afterlife I'll finally get the answers.
