We have chapter 9.
Now I know that the cliffhanger last time must have been really frustrating, but I assure you that cliffhangers aren't a regular thing. I just like to leave a little suspense, especially when it comes to a revelation.
Like I said last chapter, we have the big reveal. I'm sure most of you have already figured out what his powers are.
Let the games begin.
.
As he raised his hand, Elsa noticed that shards of stone and gravel were suddenly swirling around his hand. The yellow glow was still present, but the glow was interrupted by the shards. In the midst of her amazement she noticed that the shards were taking the form of a sphere. The sphere had small cracks in it and the yellow glow emanated from the cracks, while the gravel circled the air around the sphere in many directions. Elsa was purely amazed by the craftsmanship of the little sphere every little detail was considered. They were still sitting on the bench, but Elsa didn't pay much attention to that she was too busy admiring the sphere.
For the first time in forever, Elsa felt happy that she had found someone that truly understood her situation.
They sat there for half a minute more before Elsa asked a flurry of questions.
"What can you do? Where did you get your powers? Is there anyone else like you? How long have you had them? How do you control it?" Elsa asked in a single breath. Her eyes grew wide and a smile was growing on her face. Azin felt happier at the sight, he wasn't freaked out he was happy to see Elsa lose her regality. He always preferred playful Elsa than regal, queen-mode Elsa.
"I can control stone and earth and conjure it up. I don't really know. None that I know of, since I was born, and I just use it occasionally" Azin replied happily to her questions. He could tell that this was the first time that Elsa had ever met someone like her.
She took a minute to process what he said and his powers were almost very similar to what her powers could do. They stared into each other's eyes taking comfort in the fact they were shared the same gift. When they felt that they've stared into each other's eyes long enough. They looked away blushing.
"It's getting late" Azin commented to change the subject.
For the first time, Elsa noticed the nearly dark sky above their heads; it was getting late.
"We should head back, they're going to worry about us" Elsa said, while starting to walk. Azin just stood there at the bench. Elsa looked back at him questioningly.
"You don't plan on walking do you?" Azin asked which made Elsa's eyebrow rise higher. Azin smirked and he started to swirl his hands in many intricate pattern. Shards of stone and gravel followed his hands as they moved. He swirled his hands underneath where he was standing and the shards of stone and gravel formed an innate star design on the ground. The star was bordered by the yellow glow and inside the star many intricate and swirling patterns began to form and the yellow glow emanated from the lines and borders. It truly was a magnificent sight. Now Elsa knew how her sister feels when she uses her powers; awestricken. She stood there for another minute admiring the detailed craftsmanship.
Azin suddenly walked to the edge of the star and offered his hand to Elsa.
"Shall we depart my queen" Azin said in his best regal voice, while throwing in an over-exaggerated bow.
Elsa smiled at him. Azin didn't know it, but he could be really romantic sometimes. She scolded herself for her last thought and she decided to play along "After you, good sir" Elsa curtsied.
They walked hand in hand to the center of the star. When they arrived at the center Azin raised both of his hands and Elsa felt the star levitate from the ground as it left a star shaped hole from where they were standing. Elsa was losing her balance so she grabbed on to the nearest thing she could, who just so happened to be Azin.
They were hugging now as the floating star platform took them to the castle, while lighting the night sky with its yellow glow and falling trail. The star actually left a trail of gravel and stone shards that glow a bright yellow before eventually fading into its normal color. Azin didn't pay much attention to the trail he was paying more attention to the beautiful woman in his arms. He looked down at her and she looked up at him. She smiled at him before she leaned in his chest again.
"This is perfect" Elsa whispered contently as she leaned into Azin's chest. Azin leaned his head down at Elsa's head. If he didn't know better, he'd say they were cuddling. Azin wished that he could just freeze time so that this moment will never end at all. Azin felt so happy and in this moment he knew that he was forgiven.
I got to hand it to you Azin…this is your best idea yet. His voice said. Even his alter-ego was admiring his work. She sure is one lucky queen. His voice said.
What? No insults or retorts now? Azin thought smirking.
Nah. I thought you could enjoy this moment without me spoiling it. His voice said.
Thanks.
Don't get used to it.
Azin just smiled because nothing could ruin this moment for him. Using his powers to this extent was enough to make him happy, but the fact that Elsa was with him during this magical ride only made him happier. He just felt happy being with her, despite the fact that he only met her that day.
Soon they landed inside the castle walls not being noticed by the guards in any way.
This is unbelievable. They didn't notice the golden flying star that was leaving a trail of stone and gravel fly into the castle walls or even bothered to see what it was. Azin thought exasperatingly.
He and Elsa walked to from the center of the star and onto the ground of the castle. Azin waved his hands and the stone star flew out of the castle walls. Azin was putting the star back where it belongs. The glow would have left after the star takes its place back on the ground.
The two started to walk towards the inside of the castle. They were walking through the dark halls until they finally arrived at Elsa's room. The two stood there in the halls neither of them was willing to leave each other's company.
"Will I see you tomorrow?" Elsa said, while Azin nodded in response. He had a smile on his face.
"Everyday" Azin answered quietly. Elsa got the meaning behind his words.
"Good night, Azin" Elsa said with a smile.
"Good night, Elsa"
Elsa entered her room and closed the door. She leaned on the door, closed her eyes and gently slid down contented.
"This night is the most magical night of my life." Elsa whispered.
.
The next day everyone, except Azin and Elsa, was at the family dining room eating breakfast making small talk and having conversations.
"Morning everyone" Elsa greeted with a smile on her face as she entered the dining room. She was wearing her signature ice dress and had her hair in a single braid over her shoulder.
"Good morning" they replied before resuming their conversations.
Elsa took a seat to her sister's left and she was greeted by a comment that was obviously bottled up all night and waiting to come out"
"How was your date with Azin" Anna blurted out excitedly. Elsa almost choked on her bagel. Although she expected this from Anna she was still surprised at her sister's enthusiasm. She decided to go with the easy way out.
"Good"
"Elsa!" Anna whined childishly, which was mirrored by Rapunzel, which was on Anna's left side.
"You need to tell us what happened" Anna said.
"We want details; what happened, where did you go, and what did you do?" Rapunzel said bouncing in her chair.
"We walked and talked around the kingdom" Elsa said simply. She took a bite of her bagel. She smiled at her sister teasingly.
"Come on something else must have happened" Anna said not willing to give up.
Elsa thought about the magical ride that she had with Azin. She remembered his arms wrapped around her, the revelation of his powers, the part when he made the orb, then he made the floating star platform, and she remembered him waving his hands freely, while they were followed by shards of stone and gravel as well as the way he lit up by the yellow glow. He looked so…..
Elsa was brought back from her fantasy by Anna yelling her name in her ear. She clutched her ear.
"Ow, you didn't have to yell" Elsa said.
"Something did happen." Anna and Rapunzel beamed. Because they saw Elsa's dreamy expression before Anna called her. Something definitely happened.
"Elsa, you have to tell me please" Anna said, while pulling out her puppy dog face. Elsa covered her eyes looking away. She knew all too well that she got what she want when she had that face.
"You and those eyes, no I can't tell you yet" Elsa said still not looking at her. She was desperately trying to resist her sister.
"Why not?" Anna said and Elsa could hear the pout in her voice. She was about to give in, when Azin came into the room.
"Good morning, everyone" Azin said, Elsa sighed in relief. She looked at her sister knowing that Anna wasn't pulling the puppy dog face anymore.
Everybody replied again before resuming their conversations. Azin took a seat next to Elsa.
"Good morning" Azin greeted her with a smile.
"Good morning"
"How'd you sleep" Azin was making small talk with Elsa because as weird as it may seem, He dreamt about her and their magical ride. He didn't want things to become awkward between them.
"Fine, you?"
"Good"
Anna huffed. "Maybe Azin will tell me" Anna said, while turning to face Azin "Azin, how'd your date go" Anna said excitedly.
"Fine, we walked and talked around the kingdom" Azin said simply. Azin knew that Elsa didn't want to disclose too much information.
"You're worse than Elsa" Anna said and pouted.
The two laughed together. One thing was boggling in Azin's mind though.
"What are you all talking about" Azin asked everybody, but Eugene was the one who spoke up.
"This glowing and floating thing that we saw last night" Eugene explained and both Elsa and Azin froze. Elsa looked at Azin, but he was just as baffled as she was. In hindsight, Azin shouldn't have expected that a floating and glowing star wasn't going to attract attention. Eugene looked at him so he immediately responded.
"Really? How did you see it?" Azin asked nervously. He took a bite from his bagel.
"Well my sweetie and I were sleeping in bed, when I saw something glowing in the night sky." Eugene explained.
"Then he woke me up and he pointed towards the floating thing" Rapunzel continued smiling at the memory. "Eugene was starting to freak out, but I thought it looked really magical" Rapunzel smiled.
"I didn't freak out, I was just worried" Eugene said defensively.
"You know Eugene I saw the floating thing as well and it was really magical" Anna said.
Azin couldn't help, but smile because so many people thought that his power was magical. Most of the time, perceived his powers as a curse. Azin's smile grew wider.
"Azin are you okay?" Elsa asked. She wanted to know why he was so happy. Didn't he want to keep his powers a secret?
"I'm wonderful" Azin said, still smiling. He had never felt so many people think that his powers were so magical. "I'm just glad that some people think of my magic as a gift, not a curse" Azin admitted to Elsa in a whisper.
Elsa smiled at him and placed a hand on his shoulder. Elsa knew exactly how he felt. It was the same feeling she got, when all of Arendelle cheered for her as she prepared to freeze the courtyard.
I know how that feels. Elsa thought.
The conversations continue and even though Azin couldn't make out what they were saying, but he could get the idea of their conversation.
His powers were magical.
.
He was just standing outside the tavern flanked by his two men. He made a sound of disgust before he grudgingly entered the tavern. When he entered, all eyes were on him.
"I'm prepared to offer 200,000 pounds of gold to anyone who can get me the snow queen" He announced and the tavern fell silent. No one was dumb enough to attempt to capture the snow queen.
"You are all cowards!" he boomed until somebody entered the tavern. The newcomer had battle scars all over his features and he looked more sickly and fragile than terrifying. His teeth were razor sharp, but they were rotting and fully-intact. His eyes had no pupils, only the whites. He would have looked more intimidating if it wasn't for his sickly pale skin that had a green tint. He wore the armor of a Viking, but the armor was already broken, but his appearance didn't matter to anyone. There was a green mist that hung in the air of where he stood. The newcomer approached him "Where can I find this snow queen?" the newcomer said with a grave tone that was overtly threatening. The two men that flanked his sides were about to draw their swords, but they froze in fear as the newcomer slowly made the green mist surround them. The newcomer was playing with them, but before he could do anything else.
"Arendelle" He shakily said, getting over his previous terror and fear, but he was still scared on the inside. The newcomer made the mist dissipate and nodded to him. The newcomer left without another word.
He was determined to find the so-called snow queen and he wasn't one to give up so easily. He was going to collect that reward and deliver the snow queen, after he had fun with her. He smiled at what he planned on doing to his target. Yes, he would capture the snow queen alive, but he planned on using her body for his enjoyment.
His thoughts were interrupted by the loud neigh of two horses that were now in front of him. Apparently, he was in the middle of the road. An obese man that looked very wealthy charged out of the carriage. The obese man was furious, not that he found angry fat man as a threat.
"What are you doing in the middle of the road? Are you insane, I could have been killed" the man boomed, while marching towards him.
This man doesn't know who he's dealing with. He thought.
"You're about to be." He said and the man cocked his head in confusion. Before the man could respond, he had planted his hand on his forehead.
The driver of the carriage saw in heart-stopping detail as a green mist exited from the man's eyes, nose, and mouth. The obese man was screaming the whole time. During the ordeal, the color of the man's skin slowly faded making it pale and sickly with green tints. Finally, after nearly half a minute, the man dropped to the ground. The man was now a sickly pale, his eyes' lost their pupils, his mouth was gaping open. He looked like all the life was drained from his body.
He looked at the driver of the carriage and before the driver could react he was already inches from his face. His lips were trembling in fear.
"Take me to Arendelle"

I know short chapter right?
There you have it folks, Azin controls stone and forms of earth and he can also conjure it.
I couldn't find the scientific name for his ability, though (ex. Fire=Pyrokinesis. Ice=Cyrokinesis. Smoke=typhokinesis). Anyways, what did you think of the magic ride scene? I'm really nervous about that scene. So please leave a review and tell me what you think. I really wanted to make Azin's powers as mystical and amazing as Elsa's.
I haven't found a picture for the star platform, but I'll post it as soon as I see one.
Tell me what you think in a review and feel free to follow and/or favorite this little story.
Skullcandyklive – until next time.
