Chapter 10:
The Journey to the North Mountain:
The Beginning:
Elsa, Prince Tuomas, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven together with the hundred Arendelle Guards have assembled near the main gate of Arendelle Castle.
To see them off is Anna, General Vourinen and King Bjorn, together with Kai and Gertha.
"Queen Elsa," says Vourinen pointing to four additional guards, "these men will be your personal guard. Kristoff, Lieutenant Hansfjord here will be your second in command of the guard"
"Thank you General," responds Elsa, "please help Anna in helping to organise our defences, I will begin the winter up in the mountains first and work my way down here, King Bjorn do you intend to sail soon for the Southern Isles soon?"
"Yes your majesty this afternoon, I need to organise our fleet, unlike the mountains, there is only one way Weselton can come by sea, and I'll be waiting for him."
He then turns to Tuomas.
"Tuomas, I leave these two guards for you too."
"Thank you father." He replies.
Elsa turns to Anna who is looking a little sad:
"Anna, I leave you in charge little sister, I know you will make Arendelle proud, listen to the General and trust those wonderful instincts of yours."
Anna, sniffling a little:
"I will Elsa, take care up there."
"I will, Arendelle will be proud of you like I am, I will be back in a couple of days."
The sisters embrace and both say to each other, I love you.
Anna then turns to Kristoff and embraces him.
"Off to the North Mountain again." She says
"I guess so; I doubt it will be as eventful as the last time."
Anna laughs a little:
"Say hello to Marshmallow for me."
"Well, I won't throw any snowballs at him."
Anna laughs a little again then embraces Kristoff in a bear hug.
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too" he answers
Anna then turns to Olaf:
"Olaf take good care of him, I expect you to bring him back."
"I will Anna," answers Olaf smiling, "don't you worry, and we'll be back before you know it."
Elsa's, Tuomas and the officers horses are bought forward and they all get into their saddles.
"Well...it's time to go," says Elsa loudly, "take good care of Arendelle Anna, I know you will, Kristoff, you and Sven lead the way."
With that, they leave Arendelle and begin their journey to the north mountain.
Elsa immediately rides up to be beside Kristoff.
"I remember I walked up here the night of my coronation, how things have changed."
"Well I hope your friend Marshmallow will be a bit friendlier this time Elsa?'
"I can't wait to see marshmallow again." Says Olaf happily, "Oh and all my little brothers the snowgies"
"Oh dear" says Elsa, "I completely forgot about those guys. Olaf, can you keep them under control?" asks Elsa.
"I think so Elsa, I'll do my best.' He responds.
"I know you will." She says to him smiling.
