The ball was already in full swing as Kristoff entered the ballroom. Kristoff must have counted at least 150 dignitaries as he proceeded to the front of the room, where he expected Elsa and Anna to be. As he approached, he could see Elsa and Anna chatting with a prince, who walked away just as Kristoff approached.
"Who was that?" He asked.
"Oh that was Prince George of the Western Isles. He was just talking about how amazing the party is." Anna said.
"I thought this was a ball?"
"Same thing." Anna said.
"Aah Princess. I thought that you would be dancing with Sir. Kristoff? He is, after all, courting you. Am I correct?" Asked one of the advisers, as the council had also been invited to the ball.
"Yes. That is correct," Elsa said with a nod as the adviser walked away.
'Elsa? Remember the deal?" Anna asked. Upon seeing the look of nervousness on Elsa' face, Kristoff then asked, "What deal?"
"Well..." Elsa started, "...me and Anna made a deal earlier on where, for her sake, I would have a dance with you, because you know, you can't exactly dance with me..." Elsa said gesturing to Anna in her body, "...since your dating the princess..." She said as she gestured to herself.
"Oh..." Kristoff said in shock upon hearing the deal. "So...If I want to dance with you Anna...I'm going to have to dance with your sister? What?"
"Well Elsa is in my body, so pretty much yes!" Anna replied, smile fading a bit at the thought of not being to dance with Kristoff herself. "Nothing will happen. This dance is simply to acknowledge that I am dating you. The last thing I want is a prince asking the princess on a dance, and Elsa accepting it..."
"I would never..." Elsa started but was cut short by the sudden change in music, to a slower, more romantic tune. As Anna walked away towards the Coronian couple who had called for her, Elsa said, "...Well, now is as good a time as any. Let's get this over with before I change my mind..."
"...Elsa! This is going to be awkward for me, and even more so for you..." Kristoff started. "If you don't want to do this, then I have no problem."
"I'm not doing this for me or you! I'm doing this for Anna. Just, whatever you do, do not kiss me! Or else..." Elsa threatened.
"With you in Anna' body, I wouldn't dream of it...No offense..." Kristoff said with a grin. "Let's get this over before I lose my mind!"
Soon, Kristoff and the Princess were on the dance floor, while some of the dignitaries started to take notice, some with grins on their faces.
"Oh God! They're staring..." Elsa thought.
"This is really awkward..." Kristoff whispered to Elsa as the waltzed around.
"Tell me about it. God Anna better make up for this." Elsa said, as she tried to maintain a straight composure. "How much longer till this song ends?"
"I think it's only just started..."
"Damn it..." Elsa nearly cursed as well, but held her tongue as she was within earshot of some of the dignitaries.
"Anyway, any luck on finding a fix for this switch yet?" Kristoff asked, trying to start a conversation to take his mind off the fact that he was dancing with Elsa, mentally speaking.
"Kristoff. I was knocked out for 2 days. I only woke up around lunch time. How am I supposed to know?" Elsa scowled slightly. She was clearly not enjoying this. Well, to be honest, neither was Kristoff. Had it been Anna, back in her own body instead of Elsa, Kristoff would be in laughs as Anna would have taken him on something more reminiscent to a tango than a Waltz. He, like Elsa just wanted to get this dance over with. It just didn't feel the same dancing with the princess while the sister's minds were switched. But he couldn't dance with the queen either. That would have been really awkward.
Elsa had lost track of time. It had only been minutes, but to her, it felt like hours. Finally, the song came to an end, and the two broke before anyone else even knew the song had finished.
"You happy now?" Asked a scowling Elsa as she approached Anna.
"Could never be happier..." she said with a smile as Kristoff stopped next to her.
"Your sister is a terrible dancer!" Kristoff said.
"Excuse me? But your big feet, nearly trod on mine half a dozen times during the dance. I have no idea how Anna copes!"
"Oh loosen up Elsa." Anna interrupted before this escalated into something embarrassing. She was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Eugene and Rapunzel calling out to them.
"Anna! Elsa! We've got some information that might concern you." Rapunzel said as she approached the two royals.
"Really? Regarding what?" Elsa asked.
"Reimarch' cove!" Eugene responded. This immediately caught the attention of the two sisters and Kristoff as they leaned closer, trying not to miss anything that the couple were about to say.
"Prince Malikov!" Eugene called out to a passing prince, which Anna immediately identified as the Prince that had waved to her earlier on. Suddenly a light blush crept into her cheeks, which stood out against the Queen's pale skin, as the Prince approached and bowed.
"I am Prince Nicholas Anatoly Malikov of Pavlovo, or for short, Prince Nicholas II your majesty. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Prince Nicholas said as he bowed and kissed the hand of the Queen, which caused her to blush even further. Elsa just frowned, worried how Anna would react. Despite him being handsome and all, the last thing she wanted at this moment was a consort that her sister had somehow acquired.
"I am Queen Elsa of Arendelle." Anna said with a radiant smile, as the Prince smiled back with an equally radiant smile. Was this chemistry? Elsa was now beginning to glare at Anna.
"Was she flirting with the Prince? She does know she is being courted by Kristoff" Elsa thought to herself. "Wait! Maybe she's doing this because she is in my body, and trying to set me up with someone?" Elsa was about to say something to Anna, but the Prince spoke first.
"Your highness. I was informed by the Prince and Princess of Corona that you were interested in King Reimarch, if I am not mistaken?" Prince Nicholas said.
"That is correct," Anna replied. "I just wish to know a bit about the history of magic."
"I see. Well maybe it would be better if we discussed this sitting down. The History of Reimarch is quite extensive. After you..." the prince said graciously as Anna walked towards a couple of empty chairs at the side of the ballroom. She sat down, Elsa and Nicholas sitting on her sides, with a slightly jealous Kristoff standing up next to Elsa. The Coronian couple grabbed two chairs and sat down in front of the Queen and princess.
"First of all..." The Prince started, "...if all you want to learn, your highness, is about the History of Sorcery, then there are many other places you can start. The story of Prince Reimarch isn't the best place to begin, and most sorcerer's tend to want to ignore these stories as they are not the type to comfort one's mind. Are you sure this is what you want to know?"
This suggestion made both Elsa and Anna shiver a bit. Just by this beginning line, they could tell this was not going to end well.
"So what exactly do you know about King Reimarch?" Nicholas asked.
"Well..." Anna started trying to recall what the trolls had told them, "...he was a prince of a kingdom, called Densyre, that found out about his powers, and in revenge they killed his parents. He burnt the kingdom to the ground killing everyone in the process, before he fled south and was adopted by the Rulers of a southerly Kingdom. Then he revolutionized magic and created many potions, and went down famously in history. Then a later king found out and erased his existence. He was buried in a cove, which to this day can't be found. That's all I know..."
Nicholas just raised his eyebrows before he sighed and shook his head. "That story has been passed down through countless generations, each of which have modified it to some extent. The truth is, that the version you just told, is so far from the truth, that it is closer to describing King Pierre than King Reimarch."
"Oh. So what makes your knowledge of Reimarch better than that of mine?" Anna asked quite smugly.
"We have the actual records of his Kingdom as well as some books that he wrote..." Nicholas stated.
"What?" Elsa and Anna cried in Unison.
"I know it's hard to believe, but my Great, great, great, god knows how many greats, grandfather was actually an adviser in the supposed kingdom that he was accepted into." Nicholas said, which shocked the sister's even more. "And before you ask, no. They aren't spell books. These are the private diaries of some of the servants, and Reimarch himself. Sadly, it does not tell the location of his kingdom. The maps and notes that tell that, were hidden in his kingdom, passed down through the generations of rulers that succeeded him. Possibly lost to time and the elements."
"Oh..." Anna said, slightly let down at the lack of this information. "So what information do you have?"
"Well, let me start by saying that version of the story you know is complete bulls...I...mean garbage" Nicholas said, noticing the princess' sudden change of expression. "Sorry. Right where to start?"
"As you know, he did run away from his kingdom with his mother, but this is where the lying starts. In truth, the arrow that killed his mother wasn't fired from an enemy guard. It was fired from his own longbow. He had intercepted a letter a few days ago, that was written by his parents, describing him as a freak of nature, and that they were going to take drastic measures if the couldn't find cure. Anyway, on the way to the shoreline, Reimarch confronted his mother, and forced her to explain. She told the truth, that he was supposed to be locked away for eternity, or have an exorcism performed. Anything to cure him of, what his parents called, his insanity! Of course once Reimarch found out, he shot an Arrow straight through his mothers heart. He didn't even shed a tear. He just threw the bow as far away as he could after that. Then to finish it all off, he burnt the kingdom to the ground and cursed the souls of everyone in there to eternal damnation. And after that he just walked away."
Nicholas took a deep breath and continued.
"After a few weeks he was found by royal couple of a small kingdom in the south. They adopted him and raised them as their own. He soon revealed his magic to his new foster parent. They didn't take it lightly at first, but soon they accepted it and became used to it. That is when he started learning to master a new form of magic. The magic of the Dark Arts. In secret he would creep into the castle's dungeons at night, and he would try to learn new spells. These spells could do stuff like, control someones mind, switch their minds, Raise the undead, kill a person, or even allow an entity to possess the body of a living creature. Anyway he made sure that no one found out. Anyone that did, he either killed or...no! He pretty much killed everyone who found out. Soon he started experimenting with the human anatomy, but he couldn't do that without living people. Now dissection of human corpses was punishable by death back then, but his insanity took him further. He didn't dig up no dead person from the grave! No! He actually went out in the middle of he night, and kidnapped people of all ages. Young, Old, Male, Female, the sickly. If you were a person living in that kingdom at that time, then chances are you were at risk of being kidnapped, killed, and experimented on my this madman."
"By his 21st birthday, Reimarch had now grown old enough to inherit the throne should anything happen to the King and Queen. As you can already tell, a kingdom to rule was all he needed to be able to have the freedom to do what he wanted to. So one night he poisoned the King and Queen, with a special poison that he developed himself. It could not be detected by any conventional methods, and had no cure. It also left no traces, and it would make the death look like it had been from natural causes. Anyway, when the kingdom found out, he was of course, the first to be questioned. He denied any involvement whatsoever, and placed the blame on a neighboring kingdom. To finalize this belief he bewitched the minds of several random guards and people, and forced them to confess that they had seen the enemy, break in and poison the rulers. Now with that, the kingdom had no choice but to go to war with that neighboring kingdom. So they foolishly coronated him as their king, and the reign of King Reimarch I began.
"After showcasing his powers to the Kingdom by defeating the Kingdom, that he blamed had killed the previous King and Queen, he started conquering other nearby Kingdoms, slowly increasing the boundaries of his empire until it came to rule quite a huge portion of Europe. As he was now the rightful king of the throne, he could enact any policy and law he wanted. He now also had access to all the resources he wanted. For the next 3 decades, Reimarch continued to experiment with various forms of magic, as well as with various forms of science. With this knowledge he eventually came to develop numerous chemical weapons, ranging from poisons, to potions, to gaseous agents. He sold these new weapons on the market, which allowed his kingdom to become extraordinarily rich, and take control of the markets in Europe. Now of course, once you get this powerful, others are going to want to stop you. He came under many assassination attempt, some of which were very nearly successful. He soon founded an investigative team, that would try to find out which kingdoms were responsible. Once a kingdom was found, he would either enact a declaration of war against their kingdom, or he would send an assassin to kill the rulers swiftly, and silently. This wasn't limited to non-magical people either. If he caught word of another sorcerer or potion maker, that was starting to become quite powerful or influential, he would attempt to kill them one way or another, whether they friend or foe."
"At the age of 93 he, for a reason still unknown, committed suicide, leaving no heir for the throne. He was then buried in a cove far far away from his kingdom, as legends said that he would one day rise again. So a small group of 3 sorcerers sacrificed themselves to create a cove that was magically impossible to break into unless you had the map and the key. They then erased all existence of this cove, except from the map which they handed to the next person in line for the throne. Eventually, around 32 years after his death, a new king came into power, and upon hearing about the treachery, horror's and evil that Reimarch bought on, erased all evidence of his existence completely. But the map and the key, along with several other artifacts like this diary were never found, as they were either sneaked out of the kingdom, or hidden within it. The diary and some of his notes were passed down through generations till they came into the hands of my parents, who passed it to me. But the key and the map are still lost to this very day. And that's pretty much the whole true story of his life. Definaitely different from the one you were used to, isn't it?"
Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and the Coronian couple were all staring speechless at Nicholas, their mouths hanging wide open. Nicholas could clearly tell they were in shock.
Finally Elsa managed to gain enough strength to say, "He killed his own mother?"
"Yes. Arrow straight through the heart. Dead instantly."
"And he poisoned his foster parent when he was of age?" Anna then asked, eyes still wide in shock.
"Yep."
"Oh my goodness..." Anna said. She could not believe what she had just heard. When the trolls had told it, she felt some form of sympathy and pity towards this Reimarch fella. But after hearing this, all she thought of him, was that he was the vilest, most evil person ever born. "How did he manage to stay in power for 72 years with that evilness?"
"Everyone was too afraid to do anything. Not even other sorcerers could stop him. Anyone that tried was killed, or experimented on. Some people literally referred to him as Satan's spawn." Nicholas replied.
"Wow. And I thought Hans was evil..." Kristoff commented.
"Wait!" Anna interrupted. "One more thing. I was told that he built numerous structures in other kingdoms, which were cursed. Is that true?"
"Very!" Nicholas said, which scared both Elsa and Anna largely. "He was known for creating these cursed buildings, or catacombs. Especially catacombs, he just loved to stuff dangerous potions in there and trap an evil entity to guard it. If anyone enters those structures the entity would possess them and make them kill as many people as it could, before it too died. There have been numerous reprted cases of this happening, especially in the south."
"Um. Nicholai..." Elsa started.
"It's Nicholas." he said, "Yes? What is it?
"Our Kingdom has an underground structure that has been locked for 500 years. It's called the Arendellian catacombs. Could that possibly have been one of his?" Elsa asked, fear gripping her insides.
Nicholas thought over the question for a second, and confirming Elsa and Anna' worst fears, he said, "Yes. It could very well have been. It matches the time period, and he was known to venture up into this area of Europe. Are these catacombs still closed?"
"We're not sure. Kristoff. Tell him what you and Eugene heard." Anna told Kristoff.
"Umm okay." Kristoff said, as the Prince straightened up to hear what he was about to say. "Well, about 4 ago, me and Eugene here went into the catacombs..."
Kristoff explained to the Prince exactly what he and Eugene had heard. The sister's then explained about what happened after drinking this wine that they had bought up, and how their bodies were now switched. Nicholas' eyes widened a few time during the retelling, but by the time they had finished he was looking at the ground, a troubled expression present on his face.
"So let me get this straight..." Nicholas said as he rubbed his eyes, "You two are in each others bodies after drinking a wine...that appeared out of nowhere...which said could only be reversed once you find the iron dove in Reimarch' cove?"
"Yes!" The sister's cried in unison.
"Wow. That must be the just...wow..." He said as he gaze switched between the Queen and Princess.
"So do you know how to fix it?" Anna asked hopefully.
"I'm afraid not. This goes beyond my knowledge."
"Well. Looks like we're going to be stuck in each others bodies for a while longer." Anna said as Elsa gave a slight grimace.
Leo slowly walked down the dark hallway. He could hear the music in the ballroom from here.
A guard standing outside the doorway saw him approach.
"I'm sorry. Only specified servants are allowed..." the guard said.
"Oh. That's just sad..." Leo said, and in with a move faster than the guard could anticipate, Leo grabbed the knife from his pocket and threw it straight at the guard, causing the knife to slice right into his neck. The guard collapsed onto the floor in a pool of his own blood, as gurgling sounds escaped from his mouth. He eventually stopped moving, now dead, eyes still open in a state of shock.
"Now." Leo said as he pulled out the lighter and lit the ignition rope on his gunpowder filled belt. "Let's end this party with a bang!" The amount of ignition rope gave him 40 seconds to act before it detonated.
He approached the door and with one swift kick, smashed the door open, causing everyone in the room to turn around in surprise, now staring at a servant equipped with a hunting rifle, and a Gunpowder-tin suicide belt.
One of the guards screamed in shock and drew his weapon. But Leo was faster. He aimed the rifle and shot the guard straight in he chest, blood splattering on the wall. Suddenly the ballroom was thrown into chaos as the civilians tried to get as far away as possible.
30 seconds...
"PROTECT THE QUEEN AND PRINCESS!" A guard yelled to two other guards as they rushed over to evacuate Elsa and Anna.
Leo took aim and fired another shot at another guard knocking him to the ground. He jumped to the side to dodge an arrow that was fired at him. He loaded the rifle and quickly took aim again and fired it at the guard who had fired the arrow. It hit the guard square in the head killing him instantly. The dignitaries were scrambling around the room as several more guards poured in from the main door. Leo grabbed a dignitary, using him as a human shield as the guards took aim, as he loaded the rifle again.
"SIR! HE'S GOT A HOSTAGE!" yelled a crossbowman.
20 seconds...
"SCREW THAT!" Jarge screamed as he took a crossbow of his own and fired it at Leo. It hit the dignitary right in the abdomen causing him to scream in pain. Leo threw the hostage aside as he grabbed a bottle of Alcohol, stuffed with a cloth, from his waist, and lit it with the lighter before throwing it at the main entrance which caused it to burst into flames, blocking of exit from the ballroom, as he jumped to the side to avoid more arrows. He quickly aimed the rifle in Jarge' direction and fired, immediately hitting the Military adviser in the arm as General Jackson took aim at Leo. The Queen and Princess were still in the ballroom, as another guard approached a side door and attempted to kick it open, to no avail. It appeared to have been jammed from the other side.
10 seconds...
Without thinking twice Jackson fired the arrow striking Leo straight in the abdomen, as another guard shot him in the leg. Leo twitched a bit, but to everybody's shock continued to walk towards the crowd.
"WHAT THE F..." Jackson managed before ducking as Leo fired the 5th shot straight at him. He could hear the bullet whiz by his ear as it hit the wall behind him, showering him in plaster and rubble.
6 seconds...
Now or never.
With a sudden burst in strength, despite the arrows in his body, Leo threw the rifle to the ground, And ran straight towards the crowd of dignitaries clustered around the entrance which was engulfed in flames, as he ripped of his shirt exposing the Explosive contraption wrapped around his chest, mere seconds away from exploding!
4 seconds...
"SHIT!" Jarge screamed as he saw what it was! "SHOOT HIM!"
General Jackson yelled, "GET DOWN!"
3 seconds...
The guards fired 3 more arrows, 2 of them missing, one of them hitting Leo right in the chest!
With a gasp of breath Leo shouted, "IN YOUR HONOR AND GLORY..."
2 seconds...
"...I SACRIFICE MYSELF TO YOU..."
1 SECOND...
"...KING REIMARCH!"
The last thing Elsa heard was Leo screaming "...KING REIMARCH"
Suddenly a massive flash of light blinded her, followed by a powerful ear-splitting explosion and shock-wave that deafened her and threw her to the ground! She watched helplessly as she saw her sister being slammed against the wall by the force of the explosion and crumple to the ground next to Kristoff and Rapunzel.
"ANNA!" she screamed barely audible as the flames faded and the pain started to set in.
Within a few seconds her hearing started to set in as she crawled over to her unconscious sister. She could hear the screams for help all around her, as guards and outsiders smashed the windows in an effort to get inside. Around the detonation site lay several dignitaries, all covered in blood, which she now expected to be dead.
"ANNA!" she screamed as she grabbed her sister and shook her. Anna' lip was bleeding and she had slight burns from the explosion. "ANNA!" she yelled again.
This time the Queen's eyes snapped open as she started coughing. She leaned on her hands as Elsa pulled her into her arms. "WE NEED HELP!" she screamed. She could faintly hear someone say to get the Queen and Princess, as she held on to her sister. By now Anna was awake enough to start to take in her surroundings. There were more than a dozen bodies scattered around the ballroom, while the other guests were covered in cuts, bruises and blood. There was a slight smell of used gunpowder in the air. The entire room was a mess. Decorations strewn everywhere, rubble littered the floor. It was if Anna had just woken up in a war zone. She could barely comprehend the devastation in front of her. She then finally noticed that someone was cuddling her and turned around to see a her frightened face looking back at her, tears in her eyes.
"Elsa! It's okay. I'm fine! Are you hurt?" Anna said as she wiggled out of Elsa' grasp to check on her. Apart from a few cuts and bruises, Elsa appeared to be fine, though she cared less about her body, and more about her sister residing in it! "Are you alright?" Anna asked again.
"I...I'm...f...fine..." Elsa managed, still in a state of shock.
Suddenly she heard a voice from behind her, as she was pulled to her feet. She turned around to see Kristoff standing, slightly shaken, but otherwise alright, apart from the few minor cuts and burns. Rapunzel and Eugene were also getting up, as they looked around in shock at the devastation before them. Anna saw her sister being pulled up by a guard, as another two escorted the 5 of them out of the room. As they exited they could see doctors, civilians and guard rushing in, carrying out the injured, some covered in so much blood that it was a wonder they were still alive. It was an extremely sickening site for both Anna and Elsa. Never have they thought of living through something as frightening and horrifying as a suicide explosion. They staggered towards the dining room where they sat on the chairs as the physicians approached them.
Anna could here a physician ask Elsa how many finger he was holding up. She looked around and suddenly noticed someone was missing. Where was Nicholas?
Suddenly a voice called from the doorway...
"Queen Elsa!" Nicholas screamed as he ran towards the Queen! "Are you okay your highness?"
"I'm fine!" Anna responded as a physician took her pulse. "You're hurt. You need help now!"
"I'm fine!" Nicholas said, though Anna could see he was clearly far from fine. His Right arm was clearly broken, which she guessed was from being thrown against the wall, and he had a massive gash on the left side of his face. "It's not the first time I've broken something. Wait...Mind switched, so you're actually Anna right?" He said with a slight smile. She nodded in response.
He walked over to the Princess.
"Are you alright Elsa?" Nicholas asked.
"I'm fine." Elsa replied. She was a little more banged up than Anna, but otherwise it was all minor injuries.
Suddenly, the military Adviser Jarge, accompanied by General Jackson entered the room!
"Oh Thank God you two are alright!" Jarge said in relief to the queen and princess. He was holding a makeshift tourniquet to his bullet wound, the bleeding having slowed down a bit.
"Jarge!" Elsa yelled. "What the Hell happened in there?" Everything was moving too fast for her to comprehend back in the ballroom. All she remembered was a guy with a hunting rifle entering, shooting some people, before the explosion threw her on the floor.
"It was a suicide bomb attack!" Jarge said, as he sat down, letting a physician tend to his wounds. "From what I heard the servants name was Leo!"
"Leo?" one of the guards asked. "The servant who went into the wine cellar and disappeared? We thought he had left, or run away or died or something!"
Anna and Elsa looked at each other fearfully from what they just heard. And after hearing what Nicholas had said earlier on about Reimarch' structures and it's curses, they had no doubt about it now. The Arendellian catacombs had been built by Reimarch. They both felt uneasy at the thought of this. Both Kristoff and Nicholas also knew what the sister's were thinking and looked at the sister's in shock.
"I thought that my powers would be the extent of magic that I would see..." Elsa muttered to herself. The six of them now knew, that Leo, the guy who had just committed suicide and killed several people must have been under control of one of Reimarch' curses, that Nicholas had mentioned earlier on.
Elsa was about to ask how the hell something like this could have happened, under the watchful eye of god knows how many guards, but was stopped short as two small figures rolled into the room.
"What the?" One of the doctors yelled as he moved out of the way. The balls revealed themselves to be Grand Pabbie and Bulda.
"Grand Pabbie? Bulda? What are you doing here?" Anna asked in shock. How had the trolls managed to find them?
"What happened here?" Bulda asked in shock, as she approached Kristoff! "Oh my baby! Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine mother..." Kristoff replied as Bulda climbed onto his lap.
"What happened here?" Bulda asked again.
"Suicide! A servant lost his head and killed himself by blowing himself up in the ball." Anna said.
"I'm probably guessing he screamed that he was going to sacrifice himself to King Reimarch before he blew himself up..." Grand Pabbie said, clearly knowing something that the sister's didn't.
"Yes! How did you know?" Elsa asked, quite shocked of Grand Pabbie' knowledge of an event that he clearly wasn't present at.
"Anna, Elsa. It's important that I speak to you two immediately!" Grand Pabbie said. He was clearly troubled by something, which only made Anna and Elsa more fearful.
"I have Bad news...And really Bad news..." He said, as Anna and Elsa looked at each other, knowing that nothing good can come from this.
Anna swallowed hard. "What's the Bad news?" Anna asked, bracing for what she was about to hear.
"We have found some information on the location of both the Kingdom and Reimarch' cove. It appears that the kingdom Reimarch ruled over in the legends is no other than..." Pabbie took a deep breath."...the Southern Isles!"
Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Nicholas, Rapunzel and Eugene all gasped upon hearing this.
"WHAT?" Elsa screamed out in disbelief.
"That's not all. The location of Reimarch' cove is said to be 100 miles west of the Southern Isles on an island... an island that does not exist on any known map." Grand Pabbie continued. He could clearly see the look of shock and disappointment on their faces. So close yet so far. Reimarch' cove. Located on an island that can't be found, close to a kingdom that was so hostile to them, it was a surprise they weren't at war yet.
Finally Anna took a deep breath before asking, "And what's the really bad news?"
Pabbie and Bulda exchanged looks of fear. Upon seeing that Anna looked at her sister, who was staring back at her, the same scared expression present on her face."
"Umm." Grand Pabbie started. He took a deep breath,
"We have translated the other two lines on the wine bottle you gave us..."
Silence...
"We have a serious problem..."
O.O
If you must know what two line Pabbie is talking about, just read the translation i posted at the bottom of the first chapter.
Damn! Arendelle has some serious problems with their security! First the coronation day (Ice castle and Fjord scene near the end! Guards not defending their own queen), now this? They need better guards... :)
Sorry if you think this chapter is a little too violent! Well, that's what Leo was possessed to do anyway...to Kill!
