Chapter Ten: The Trolls from the South

Kristoff strolled around on the mountain side. Just earlier that day Anna came to approach him to tell him that she had kissed Andre on the cheek and she didn't know why and now she was leaving with him to go to Verona until the annual Summer Solstice party. He knew Anna wouldn't lie to him, but this wasn't piecing together. First she had left him because she wasn't interested him like that any longer and now she was off leaving with some prince. What was she hiding? Kristoff didn't know where else to turn so he decided to go visit his family, the trolls in the Valley of the Living Rocks.

Upon arriving round rocks with thick moss on them began rolling up to Kristoff. They quickly changed into short trolls. The trolls had taken care of Kristoff and Sven for almost their whole lives. They were also love experts!

"Kristoff!" The trolls were super excited to see him especially his grand Pabbie and Bulda. "How are you Kristoff? Here here," Bulda said as she rolled up and patted his head. Sven danced happily around the trolls and made happy grunts. "Where's Anna my dear?"

"Well actually that's what I came to talk to you about..I uhm, need some advice," said Kristoff as he put his hand behind his head while slightly looking down with embarrassment. He then explained the situation to his troll family.

"Dear Kristoff," Pabbie said in his normal low voice, "there are some things we can and can not control, somethings I do and do not know, but know this. Anna has good intentions and she always has. Do not fear my son. You will always be in important in her life but she is destined for another."

Kristoff was relieved to hear that and was about to talk when he noticed all of the trolls put their ears to the ground. He wasn't sure he had ever seen them do that before.

Pabbie was the first to bring his head up from the ground, "We are going to have visitors."

"Who?" Bulda asked with a concerned look on her face.

"The South Trolls of the Tumbling Valley."

"Why are they coming here?" Another troll asked.

"I am unsure."

Bulda ran up to Kristoff and Sven and began pushing them. "Kristoff just hide for now!"

Kristoff and Sven ran behind some big trees on the other side of the clearing and watched as from the other direction a bunch of rocks with blue moss on it began to roll into the valley. As all of the rocks emptied into the valley they began to change to their troll form. The southern trolls were very similar looking to the trolls from the valley of the living rock, only they were a little taller and thinner built.

Pabbie rolled up to the group that had just arrived and was met with the shaman equivalent of their group.

"Ah, Pebble, how long it has been." Pabbie said as he greeted the southern trolls. "What is so urgent that you bring a group and leave your valley to come here? You know it is strictly forbidden unless there is an emergency."

"That's just it Pabbie," said Pebble. Pabbie and Pebble actually looked very similar that it made Kristoff chuckle a little bit, "There is an emergency cousin!" 'Oh, they're cousins. I see now.' Kristoff laughed again to himself.

"What is it, please, make yourself comfortable." All of the trolls arranged themselves in a circle to be able to see and talk with one another easily. Kristoff had never even seen another group of trolls in his life, it must have really been a big deal.

"I'm afraid we have made a mistake, Pabbie."

"What ever could it be?" All of the trolls of the valley of the living rock listened intently.

"I was training my son to take my place as shaman, and, let him handle some of my responsibilities. Apparently someone pretending to be the king of Verona had asked for a potion. Not just any potion, but a potion to cure someone of their magical powers and in large doses even kill. The fake king had told my son that he needed it to deal with a local witch whom they had just arrested and wanted to save, but we found out otherwise when the real king of Verona showed up the next day when I was around, and I know the king personally. So what we found out is that the person we described has headed to Arendelle and we believe they have intentions to use it on the queen. Then it gets worse, if the person decides to use it to kill her, they will receive her powers. However if he just uses the potion to take her powers away without killing her, they will return in about fourteen years."

There were large gasps from all around the valley. Many trolls questioned, "Who would do such a thing? What should we do? Why would someone want to hurt the queen?"

"We think it's someone who wants to take over the throne, but that's all we know so far."

"However there is nothing we can do, since this is out of our jurisdiction now. We would like to all thoroughly apologize for all of this leading here. We are sorry." All of the trolls from the south bowed at the same time. They then rounded themselves and made their way out of the valley and through the mountains back south.

Kristoff came back from where he was hiding with Sven and walked towards the crowd sullenly. 'How could this be happening?' He tried to think over who in the world would want something like this to happen to the queen?

"Kristoff, we need you to do us an important favor."

"Anything."

"You must do your best to stop this and have people to help stop this. Please."

He looked around at the trolls looking at him with confidence in his ability to do so.

"I'll do anything to keep the queen safe." He whistled and Sven ran up to him. Kristoff grabbed his antlers and swung himself onto his friend and began riding as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile at the Castle~

"Harald, I want you to accompany Anna to Verona. Make sure her trip becomes permanent and then I'll send a ship for you later on."

"I am not sure about that Gabriel, do you think that's a good idea?"

"Yes, I need someone I can trust over there and there is no one I trust more than you." He said as he laid his hand on friend and long time coworker. He continued, "When you get there, I want you to destroy the ship again, I know they will have more there but I need you to try to keep Anna there as long as possible."

"I will." He said putting hand on Gabriels' should as well. There was a knock on the door that suddenly scared both of them. They had come this far in their plan already, they were afraid of sabotage after they worked so hard.

"It's only me." Carla said as she walked over and stood next to the two men. "They are almost done with dinner. I do have a question though, why is it that you made it so Prince Anton would stay?" She asked as she looked at Gabriel who the master mind.

"Because if we want to take over this kingdom we have to do it carefully and tact fully. Once we take away the queen powers and I receive them, it won't matter who's around or how many people, it will be like taking candy from a baby."

For his whole life Gabriel had dreamed of being a king. He just wasn't born into the right settings. After seeing how Anna was able to save Elsa, he knew that he had to make sure she wasn't around when he did it. Also him, Harald, and, Carla all knew something that most of the world did not know. A secret that they assumed died with the king and queen. They knew that when the trolls saved Anna from Elsa, they also attempted to save her from herself. They knew they had to wait until Elsa became queen to act, but they didn't expect such a catastrophe after the coronation. This gave them little time to act until Anna's birthday. Now it was after Anna's birthday and they were still in the clear, but had to act as quickly as possible.

"Alright, I'm going to prepare and meet you at the docks." Harald said as he turned around and left.

Back in the dining room everyone had just finished their dinner. Anna and Elsa had been very quiet the whole meal, and, still refused to look at each other.

After dinner Anna and Andre were to leave promptly. Anna thought Elsa specifically wanted Anton to stay and Elsa thought that Anna wanted to leave with Andre. The two of them were actually just doing the exact opposite of what was wanted. The good byes were hard for the girls, but they kept them short. She would be back in two days for the summer solstice party and all would be well. Besides, Anna was afraid that if she hugged Elsa for too long, she wouldn't be able to let go. Little did she know the feeling was mutual.

Heading towards the city Kristoff saw Olaf and yelled after him. "Olaf! Meet me at the castle! The queen's in trouble!"

"Elsa!" Olaf yelled as he ran, held onto to Sven's tail and pulled himself up on to the horse. He knew there wasn't time to explain and didn't have to be told twice.

The team ran as quickly as they could to Arendelle's dock but still were some distance away.

Anna stood on the port side of the ship as they began to sail away from Arendelle. Harald told her he would come with, to make sure Anna would be all right even though she insisted she would. He wouldn't be much of a bother anyway, he always kept to himself somewhere hidden. Anna waved to Elsa who stood on the dock as she watched the boat drift away. She could have sworn she seen a tear in the ice queen's eye as she began to lower her hand from waving. She then promptly brought it back up to her face to shield her eyes, the sun was still shining and it became a lot warmer than usual. She looked back and noticed that Elsa was still on the dock even though everyone was else was walking away and chatting. She saw Elsa reach her hand out. Anna reached her arm out across the boat as well, clouds appeared in the sky and it began to drizzle. Anna lifted her head up and felt the cool rain hit her face with the warm sun. Elsa did the same. She stayed on the dock until the boat was out of sight.

When Elsa began walking away she saw Kristoff running up with Sven and Olaf. He slammed to a halt in front of her and jumped off Sven quickly.

"Queen Elsa? Are you alone?"

"Well no," as she pointed to Anton talking with Gabriel, Carla, Kai, and, Gerda on the pier.

"I need to talk to you this is important."

"What? What is it? Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, but we need to go somewhere where we can be alone."

Just as he said that, Anton walked up. "Gabriel has said that we should return back to the castle now, since you must finish your preparations for the party in two days."

"Yes, just give me a moment. Anton have you met Kristoff?"

"Well no, not formally. Hello Kristoff, I am Prince Anton of Verona."

Kristoff bowed slightly as he said his greetings.

"Well Kristoff, I must be off, but I know that you need a place to sleep tonight, and since you have helped our kingdom in numerous ways, it is only proper you come stay with us." She said as she twitched her head and winked urging him to go along with it.

"Yes, thank you Queen Elsa." He said as he got it.

Olaf was about to say something until Kristoff covered his mouth, he knew Olaf would never compromise them on purpose, but he didn't want to take the chance of him doing it on accident.

"Well, let's get going then my lady."

"One more moment, Kristoff, meet me in my study later so we can talk about the ice for the party, with this bizarre weather we will be needing a lot of it." She said. She then turned around and began walking to the palace with arm wrapped around Anton's. She was still trying to keep up an appearance of some sort for the advisers and quite frankly it was easier without Anna around.
