I don't own Frozen
Episode 9: Legends, Revelations and Assassins
Hey guys this was a tricky chapter to make since I had to research some things and configure them to make them work but I hope I did a good job with that. Tell me what you guys think.
Also I am very sorry, this chapter was supposed to be done weeks ago but my computer crashed and I had to get it repaired and I had to do a bunch of other annoying stuff to fix everything but now everything is back up and running for the most part. Cold Touch and I are still fighting and whatever but that's normal anyway enjoy the chapter!
On a side note, I am actually planning on writing my own story but for now I'm going to try and finish this.
Dark Elsa's POV
"...And they lived happily ever after," Kaji said fondly as he closed his book. They were all sitting in the royal living room with a fire going in the fireplace. Kaji was sitting on one of the couches closer to the fireplace and his wife was sitting next to him with her head leaned on his shoulder. Elsa and Anna sat across from them on a different couch while Alexandra and Elisif were sitting in front of Kaji with their legs tucked into their chests cutely.
"Yay! Happy ending!" Alexandra pipped as she jumped to her feet and jumped in the air. Kaji and Els-Freya laughed at their daughter's energy. Alexandra jumped onto her feet too but she didn't say anything.
Kaji had just told them a story about a warrior princess, who decided to learn how to be a knight instead of learning how to be a "lady". Elsa had to admit that she rather enjoyed it actually. She had sat in on these "story times" for a few days now and as much as she loathed to admit it, Kaji seemed to be a really good storyteller. She asked him how he came up with all of the stories and he told her they were mostly all legends from his book that he changed to suit his needs. It was amazing how he managed to take things he read from his book and turn them into stories fit for little kids.
Elsa still didn't know how he could read that book since she had seen it and it was not in any language she had ever seen in her life. She had asked him about the legends in private and he told her a lot of things that were...interesting to hear. He told her about her ancestor, the one who she got her powers from, he hid his ancestor though for some reason, but she didn't press him. She was more focused on the fact that apparently she was descendant from one of the gods they worshiped, Skaoi. She did also see some of the things he translated though...well actually it wasn't something Kaji wrote, Elsa wished she recognized it sooner before she read the damn thing. The writing was apparently from Freya and it was...not something she would share with her daughter. She didn't realize her counterpart was so...
"Another story, another story!" Alexandra pipped as she bounded up to her parents and practically jumped onto her father's lap. Elsa wondered how she could do that since Kaji was clad in full armor all the time. It was also a wonder to the dark queen how her parents were not constantly exhausted since Alexandra was quite a handful.
"Sorry little one, it's almost time for you nap. We don't want you sleeping through dinner and keeping us up all night about being hungry," Kaji said softly as he put his book away. Elsa laughed a little since Kaji probably meant that he and Freya did not want their daughter to interrupt them when they were alone. Alexandra seemed to pout and Kaji crossed his arms at her.
"Now now, if you're like that, you will fall asleep past dinner and that means no cake," Freya said as she stood up and scooped the little girl off of her father's lap. Alexandra tried to say she could stay up but when she relaxed against Freya she yawned and laid her head against her mother's chest and mumbled something about being tired. Elsa almost laughed since Alexandra was too cute.
"You're spoiling her, Elsa," Kaji said softly as he stood up. His wife smiled and gave him a small kiss on the lips.
"Relax, she deserves it," she said. Kaji sighed and adjusted his sword's position on his belt before he wrapped his arm around her. When he did that though, Elsa noticed a strange symbol etched on the scabbard. It was a weird symbol, it looked like three oval like shaped converging in a triangle of sorts. She only saw it for a moment though so she wasn't sure and didn't really care.
"Mama, Papa can I go sleep too?" Elisif said. Elsa turned her attention back to her daughter and gave her a small smile even though she didn't like being called papa.
"Of course you can," Anna said as she stood up and picked their little girl up. Elsa stood up as well but before they could do anything, the doors to the room opened and Rapunzel walked in, looking a little anxious. Her presence put pause on everything in the room.
"Can we talk? Just the three of us," Rapunzel said quickly, eying Kaji and Freya a bit nervously, asking them if it was ok. They both smiled though and shook their heads.
"That'll be fine. We were just going anyway. Elsa, Anna, do you want us to take Elisif to bed too? Alexandra will probably just go off to her room anyway," Freya asked. Elsa wanted to say no but she sensed something was off and Anna spoke before she could.
"Of course, can you watch her also, until we get there?" Anna asked as placed Elisif down, her eyes connected with Elsa's, showing that she felt like something was off as well. She pushed their daughter towards Kaji but the little girl hesitated and looked at Elsa. She nodded slowly and then her daughter went up to Kaji and Freya. Kaji offered the little girl his hand and Elisif took it softly. Kaji nodded to Elsa, an understanding seeming to go between them. Apparently he felt like something was off as well. He said something to his wife that Elsa couldn't hear and she nodded to him.
They left the room quickly and after a few moments Rapunzel went over and sat down on the couch Kaji and Freya were occupying earlier. Elsa and Anna sat back down on the couch they were occupying earlier as well. They didn't start talking right away though. They just sat there quietly for a few moments. Rapunzel looked a bit anxious like something bad was about to happen and that only made Elsa more nervous.
"So how have you been enjoying your stay?" Elsa asked. She and Anna were both sitting in one of the castle's smaller gardens at a table and Rapunzel was sitting across from them. The Queen of Corona was busy fidgeting with her fingers. She seemed rather conflicted and somewhat distressed.
Elsa sighed softly since her old friend acted so differently now and she felt like she was partly to blame. Her friend didn't exactly change but she wasn't as cheerful and happy as she usually was. The stressful life as a ruler was no doubt taking its toll on the poor girl. Rapunzel had made a very dangerous choice when she decided to side with them and try to supply them. Corona was a kingdom that could support itself while supporting them but Rapunzel was no doubt taking the brunt of a lot of stress from political issues. No one would dare hurt them since they were the center of trade but they could definitely raise hell.
"I hope Alexandra is ok…" Elsa thought in her head. Her daughter was listening to another story from Kaji and unfortunately she wasn't able to sit in for this one since Anna was making her sit in for this talk with their old friend. She sat in to listen to Kaji's stories a couple times already in the past few days and she grudgingly admitted that Kaji did indeed now how to make stories for people, little kids and adults. A lot of his stories centered on princesses and dragons but she was able to tell that he was using a lot of Old Race legends as the foundations for his stories and then he told them in a way that could please children.
Elsa found it interesting though. In private she questioned him about what he was using to make the stories and he admitted that he was indeed using Old Race legends for his stories. He was also using stories from his book as well. She asked him about the real legends in the book since her curiosity demanded it and she was rather intrigued though she would never admit it to him. He told her that their ancestors were Old Race from the time when they ruled the world and that that's where they got their powers. She asked them who their ancestors were but Kaji only said that she already knew. She asked him to elaborate and he told her that people still worship them to that day. Elsa came to the same conclusion every time but she refused to admit it. Though it was…interesting to believe that she was descendant from the ones they call gods.
"You have been very hospitable," Rapunzel said finally, knocking Elsa out of her thoughts. Elsa was nervous since she knew that their trade was on the line with Rapunzel. Most of the people in Corona had probably written off Arendelle, even Rapunzel's husband, Eugene had voiced concerns when he last visited them. Elsa had said some rather nasty things to the rogue that she regretted doing since Eugene was a good man and Rapunzel didn't take too nicely to that. They had to give her a reason to keep helping them.
"Corona is not being hard pressed currently. We are the center of trade in Europe for the most part and our fields can feed my people. But we have been getting…hints that other nations want us to cut you off," Rapunzel said cautiously. Elsa's breath seemed to hitch when she heard that.
"How bad has it gotten?" Anna asked softly.
"Well…it's not bad…yet. My friends are making sure the people we let in are clean but we're getting nervous," Rapunzel said as she fidgeted in her seat.
"What do you want?" Elsa asked simply but nervously. She felt Anna elbow her side but she didn't pay attention to it and simply pressed her question. Rapunzel stared at her for a few moments before she sighed.
"I am worried for my people. I do not want Corona to be sucked into a conflict against the whole of Europe. If you can guarantee my kingdom's safety then I will continue to aid you," Rapunzel said.
"It is impossible to guarantee safety," Elsa replied.
"Perhaps but you can do something close," Rapunzel said. Elsa and Anna shared a look; they didn't really have much choice.
"What are you suggesting?" Elsa asked.
"Two weeks ago everyone thought your kingdom was going to die slowly but suddenly it appeared as though the gods decided to aid you. The blockade was destroyed and the whole of Europe has no doubt felt the shockwave of the event. Most of the kingdoms are probably too afraid to oppose you now. However, we both know that the Sothern Isles and Adenia are not going to be brought down by this, especially Adenia," Rapunzel said softly.
"We've heard so much talk about Adenia but we haven't gotten any real information on the kingdom. What's so special about them exactly?" Anna asked. Elsa had to agree with Anna on that. Over their years they've heard a lot of talk and rumors all surrounding that kingdom but they've never really met anyone from that kingdom until Mitsu. The only thing Elsa knew for sure was that Adenia was very far to the east past Sweden and the Baltic Sea. It was so far away that even her parents never made the journey there at least not while she was alive.
"I have not heard much about them as well but we are the center of trade so I hear a bit about the kingdom since they trade with us as well and some things have come to the light... From what I know, Adenia is a very large kingdom and a lot of people who live closer to them call them an empire more than a kingdom. Their galleions are massive and intimidating, as I'm sure you saw when Crown Prince Mitsu was visiting you. But those were not their best. I have seen their military ships and they're even larger and more intimidating than the Sothern Isles' Galleons. It was only one ship but it was enough to scare everyone in the harbor; I think they were there to discuss some new trade agreement or something I don't remember. Adenia never sent anyone who was actually from their kingdom since they were so far away, they always got their trade through kingdoms that are closer to them, who by extension trade with my kingdom. I think they call them dreadnoughts instead of galleons; it was armored in metal somehow or maybe it was made of metal and armed to the teeth with some form of advanced cannons. And the soldiers on the ship were armored from head to toe and armed with weapons made of a metal I haven't seen before though I haven't seen many metals in my life," Rapunzel said shakily.
Elsa had to admit that she was actually quite intimidated by what her friend was telling her. Though she was not exactly…graced with the presence of a ship that Rapunzel described. She did recall that the soldiers accompanying Mitsu were rather close to the description Rapunzel gave except they at least had the courtesy to remove their helmets so she knew they were human. Still though, Rapunzel made it sound like Adenia was not…normal?
"What are you implying?" Anna asked softly.
"Adenia is a kingdom or an empire beyond any of our kingdoms. I once heard that Adenia could bring the entirety of the world to its knees if they wished and I didn't believe it until I saw that dreadnought and those soldiers. I don't know what Adenia is or if all the legends are true but what I do know is that neither of our kingdoms can stand up to them, even combined," Rapunzel said softly.
"As powerful as they might be, they would be no match for my powers," Elsa stated firmly. She didn't care how many people they had; an eternal winter on their kingdom would stop them no matter what. If there was anything she and Kaji agreed on it was that normal people could not stand up to their powers no matter how many of them there were. It was hard to fight against nature after all.
"It is not as simple as that I'm afraid. Have you also heard the rumors about Adenia's royal family?" Rapunzel asked seriously. It alarmed Elsa how fearful Rapunzel was acting. Rapunzel was generally cheerful even while stressed but now her friend sounded like a cornered puppy. She felt Anna tighten her hold on her hand and she squeezed her hand back reassuringly.
"What do you mean?" Anna asked timidly.
"We met Prince Mitsu," Elsa added. She was not particularly impressed by Mitsu, she thought he was just a brat who liked to show off, she knew that he probably had siblings and that his parents were still alive but other than that she didn't know that much. Rapunzel looked shaken up but she shook her head and spoke.
"These are old legends but after seeing that Adenia's military was as menacing as they say if not more, I had to find out more about them…just in case…" Rapunzel said softly. Elsa was starting to piece together some things in her head but she shunned them away, not wanting to believe them until she was proven correct.
"What did you find out?" Anna asked, intrigued, if a bit fearful.
"Well…there wasn't too much info but I did find out something that is…disturbing to say the least. There are old catacombs in Corona that only the royal family may enter when their need is great. There wasn't much in there but spider webs but I found a small book. It was stamped with a weird symbol that I have not really seen before, it must've been there for ages since there was so much dust everywhere…I read it and it told me some…things…" Rapunzel said softly.
"What?" Elsa asked, starting to get annoyed and anxious, it was all putting her on edge.
"The royal family of Adenia is full of people like you, Kaji and Freya," Rapunzel said softly. That made Elsa's blood run colder than usual.
"Wh-What do you mean?" Anna stuttered slightly. This was all beginning to get bad really fast.
"The royal family of Adenia is a family that has existed since the days of the Old Race, I think the records said that they were descendant from one of the 'three'. It was a wonder how they could keep an empire as big as theirs' under control but not anymore. The royal family is very dangerous and they have the military of Adenia backing them," Rapunzel said grimly
Elsa could not believe what she was saying. That should have been impossible, everyone could agree that the Old Race had passed into legend, at least the more powerful ones like the lords of that time.
Rapunzel was talking about one of the few legends of the Old Race that everyone could agree on. It was about Old Race or Precursor's that were said to have so much power that they could shake the world, or destroy it. Many of the legends seemed to swirl around three Old Race in particular and one of the few things that everyone could agree on was that they were the most powerful of their kind, so powerful that they were worshipped as gods. Hence why everyone usually referred to them as the 'three'.
"The legend of the Old Race's most powerful warriors…the three…" Elsa whispered softly.
"Yes…that book said that Adenia's Royal family is descendant from one of them," Rapunzel said shakily.
"Wait, how can you get that from some kind of book? What kind of book was it anyway?" Elsa asked, skeptically. It didn't make sense that Rapunzel would randomly find some book that told her about Adenia's royal family.
"It wasn't really a book. It was only a couple pages with a book cover over them. It didn't say all those things about the royal family exactly but there wasn't much room for doubt after seeing their dreadnought," Rapunzel said.
"What did it say? Did you bring it?" Elsa asked. Rapunzel shook her head sadly and sighed.
"The pages had so much wear and tear from the ages that they practically fell apart. I could barely make out what they were at least trying to say after hours of trying to piece together the pieces," Rapunzel said sadly.
"Well what exactly did it say? What gave you the idea that the royal family is descendant from one of those three, our gods?" Anna asked quickly. It was…hard to hear, everyone knew that their gods existed but to think that people were actually descendant from them seemed to horrify Anna, Elsa was scared too. Elsa wrapped her arm around her wife comfortingly and Anna leaned against her.
"Well it's narrowed down a little more actually. From what I could make out it said that the lord of storms, the Stormbringer, founded Adenia. Only two out of the three are known to have storm powers…" Rapunzel said softly.
Elsa's eyes widened when she heard that, things started to connect in her head. The three precursors worshiped as gods all had their own powers. One had power over fire, Surtr the giant. Another had powers over winter or ice, Skaoi the huntress. Then the final one and most powerful of them all…the god of thunder and lightning, Thor, King of the Precursors, so powerful that just speaking his name was said to cause people to tremble, even now when he had been dead for ages.
Skaoi and Thor were the only ones who had storm powers…but Skaoi was Elsa's ancestor from what Kaji told her and her title was not the lord of storms or the stormbringer... And there was no way that Elsa was from Adenia. That only left Thor. Elsa shuddered at the thought if it was true that the Adenian royal family was descendant from Thor.
Thor was the most powerful out of the three main Old Race/gods and he was even called their king. The three had their own parts of the world that they ruled but Thor was the one that commanded all of them. What horrified Elsa though was that it made sense...Thor's realm was around the area that they were in...it couldn't be possible. How could people descendant from him still be alive, how could a bloodline like that survive that long? The humans that hated the Old Race would have focused on eliminating the bloodlines of the three. Though when Elsa thought about it, both Anna and herself probably wouldn't have been alive if those people did succeed in wiping the Old Race out completely.
Suddenly Elsa's eyes widened in recognition as another thought hit her. Kaji said that their powers were inherited from their ancestors. If that was true then that meant that Skaoi was indeed Elsa's ancestor and Kaji would have to be…Elsa didn't want to believe it but what else was there? No other Old Race in recorded history was known to have powers over thunder and lightning and Kaji was anything but weak. But that would also mean that he was from…Adenia if what Rapunzel told was true and apparently it was...
"Rapunzel you said that the "book" you found had a strange symbol on it right? What did it look like?" Elsa asked. Rapunzel looked rather confused by the question but she didn't question it since she could probably tell how urgent it was. Elsa remembered seeing a odd symbol on Kaji's sword earlier, when he stood up to go with his wife and the girls. She'd seen the Adenian symbol before but it wasn't the symbol Kaji had so she paid it no mind but now, things were getting complicated.
"What are you thinking Elsa?" Anna asked. Though she was confused, Elsa could tell that she was piecing together everything as well. "Just wait, Anna," Elsa said as she turned to their friend. Rapunzel got a piece of paper and a quill and placed it on the small table in between their couches. She drew a weird oval first but then when she drew the second one and the third one and had them all converging like a triangle, Elsa's eyes widened.
"It can't be..." Elsa said. She didn't want to believe it but the proof was right in front of her.
"Elsa? What's wrong?" Anna asked. Elsa grabbed the paper with the symbol on it and stared at it, making sure that it was real.
"Rapunzel, are you sure, this is the symbol?" Elsa asked as she looked at her friend.
"Of course, I couldn't forget it. I've never seen that symbol before. Why? Have you?" Rapunzel asked.
"Elsa?" Anna asked again. Elsa felt a shudder run through her at the mere thought of the truth. It shouldn't have been possible but it was undeniable. What was scary was that it made sense after she thought about it more. Kaji was foreign, he possessed knowledge she hadn't heard of before and his armor and sword were made out of a metal she hadn't seen before. His skill with that sword of his was not like any she'd seen either though she was not really well versed in sword styles. He possessed powers like no other she'd seen before except for maybe Ulfric but she thought that even that paled in comparison to what she'd seen the young king do. Nothing else fit the reasoning and after all the other crazy things that have happened, she couldn't disbelieve it.
"It's Kaji…he's…Adenian…" Elsa said softly. Anna's eyes widened in recognition as shock and fear filled her eyes.
"What?! How's that possible?" Anna asked.
"That's…actually what I was going to tell you…" Rapunzel cut in. Elsa looked at her in shock and then she felt a little bit of anger kick in.
"Wait, you knew who he was and you didn't bother to say anything?" Elsa snapped.
"I didn't know for sure! And I had no way of knowing if it was true, it wasn't until now that I pieced everything together," Rapunzel snapped back.
"Wait, how can Kaji, be Adenian if he's married to y-Freya?" Anna asked. Rapunzel stared at her and shook her head.
"You don't have to hide the truth from me anymore. I already know that Freya is not your cousin…" Rapunzel said. Elsa stared at her in shock and Rapunzel seemed to know what question was coming so she just elaborated.
"She looks exactly like you, Elsa, not to mention her powers. I don't know where they came from but I know that she is definitely you. Well…she's the you before…what happened…" Rapunzel said the last part cautiously since the past was a bit of a touchy subject with Elsa now.
"And you don't think it's too crazy to be true?" Anna asked.
"I do think it's crazy but after everything that's happened, I can't just say these things are not true anymore. I don't know how they got here but I can recognize Elsa when I see her," Rapunzel said curtly almost like she was offended. Elsa had to admit that she was right.
"Kaji and Freya helped us, I don't think they are-" Anna tried but Elsa cut her off.
"I'll throw them into the dungeons that's what!" Elsa said angrily. She knew, she knew that she couldn't trust them and now the proof was right in front of her face.
"Elsa!" Anna chided as she grabbed her arm.
"What?! They lied to us!" Elsa snapped. This time Anna glared at her and Elsa almost reeled back, almost.
"They never lied to us as I recall. And perhaps they didn't tell us this information because they knew that you would react this way!" Anna snapped. Elsa was stunned by her wife's sudden anger. Usually she just scoffed and wouldn't talk to her for a few hours.
"Elsa, Kaji and Freya helped us! Not just us, they helped out people, saved it actually. They saved our kingdom from starving and they probably made the rest of Europe too afraid to ever try and blockade us ever again. So what if Kaji is Adenian? He's married to the you of his world and they're happy, you saw them. He's a good person, both of them are. We need them Elsa, I'll admit that I wish Kaji was upfront with his heritage but after seeing you so eager to stamp him as a villain, I have to agree with his decision," Anna snapped. Elsa was stunned again by her wife's outburst, enough that she was able to get past her anger, barely.
"They hid this from us, Anna, we don't know what else they're hiding," Elsa tried to reason. Anna's glare didn't drop unfortunately.
"Like we've been upfront with everything with them. Elsa, do you think I would have let Elisif stay around them if I thought they were our enemies?" Anna asked. Elsa grumbled to herself, her wife was making a good point. They did need help really badly and as much as she didn't want to believe it, Kaji and his wife were their best bet.
"Well it-" Elsa tried to say something but the door to the room opened. She turned to the door to see three of her servants rolling in a cart, probably with food, but none of them ordered food so what was going on? Elsa immediately felt like something was wrong and tensed.
"What's this? None of us ordered food?" Anna asked as she stood up.
"It's time for lunch and we heard that you were here so we brought it to you," one of the servants said. Elsa didn't buy it and thankfully Anna didn't either since she stayed where she was. They never really called for food outside of the dining room. And if they did Kai and Gerda were the ones that always brought their food to them and Arnbjorn and Sebastian were always there as well since they all usually ate together so they could talk about the isuess of the kingdom. Also Elsa didn't recognize any of the servants there.
"Really? What did we get?" Rapunzel asked as she stood up and walked over to the cart. Elsa's eyes widened as her friend walked over to the cart. Elsa looked at Anna quickly and the alarmed look in her eyes told her that she was thinking the same thing. Elsa turned back to the servants and then her eyes widened when she saw all of them reach into their coats.
"Rapunzel!" Anna shouted as she sprinted at their friend. Rapunzel paused and turned around but at that moment the three fake servants pulled out daggers from their coats and tried to jump her.
"Wh-ummph!" Anna tackled her down and Elsa quickly fired her ice spikes at the fakes. All three of them were impaled by the spikes instantly and pinned to the wall. She hit all of them in their chests or necks; if they didn't die right away they didn't stay alive for long. Blood leaked from their wounds onto the ice or the ground.
"What happened!?" Rapunzel shrieked when she saw the three would be assassins pinned to the wall.
"Assassins…" Elsa said bitterly. She picked up one of the daggers they dropped and examined it. It was finely made and razor sharp, everything a good assassin would want apparently. If Elsa didn't keep such a tight staff on her food like she did…she shuddered at the thought.
"Assassins? From who?" Anna asked as she helped the shaken Rapunzel up and went over to her wife to see what she had. Elsa turned the dagger over for them to look at the bottom of the hilt and her eyes widened when she saw the symbol of the Sothern Isles.
"What…" Anna gasped. Elsa dropped the dagger, letting it clatter onto the ground. The Southern Isles wouldn't dare try something like that unless…he was back…
"My Queen are you alright!" the doors were kicked open and Arnbjorn ran in, sword drawn, followed by a couple of her knights. Elsa was still too frozen to respond right away but thankfully Anna did it for her.
"Assassins have infiltrated the staff, they tried to kiss us!" Anna exclaimed. Arnbjorn looked at the wall and his eyes widened.
"Wait…those are three of the new servants we brought in," he said. This time Elsa's eyes widened and she spoke.
"What do you mean new servants? And are you saying there are more?" she asked. Arnbjorn gulped and nodded.
"Yes…we were short handed and a group of peasants volunteered to work for us as long as we kept them feed and taken care of. I don't know everyone in the town and we needed the extra hands so I agreed…" Arnbjorn said nervously.
"But you said there was more than three?!" Elsa pressed.
"Y-Yes…there were at least ten of them," her housecarl said sorrowfully, ashamed.
"Then where are the other three?" Anna asked. Suddenly a rather loud crack of thunder was sounded, followed by an audible current of wind and Elsa instantly knew where the other three assassins were.
"Elisif!" Elsa and Anna screamed as they instantly took off running for their daughter's room. Elsa heard Arnbjorn and everyone else behind them but she didn't care, her daughter was in danger!
"I hear fighting!" Arnbjorn shouted. Sure enough as they neared Elisif's room, the sound of metal hitting metal started hitting the groups ears and it got louder as they got even closer. Right when they were about to turn onto the hallway where Elisif's room was they heard a series of yells and then two bodies landed in front of them with ice spikes through their chest, they were dead. Elsa and Anna lost interest after a few moments and went into the hallway. Elsa materialized a great sword made of ice into her hands, ready to fight anyone who dared threaten her daughter but she didn't have to.
"Hiya!" right as Elsa and Anna got into the hallway, they saw Kaji fighting off two dagger wielding assassins with his sword but there were already a couple of dead assassins laying around him, dead, their blood pooling on the ground. Elsa didn't see any wounds on the young king, the only blood on him was the blood on his sword. Then after a few moments Elsa heard sobbing and she turned to her right and saw that Freya was actually right next to them and more importantly Alexandra and Elisif were with them.
"Elisif!" Anna exclaimed as she scooped her daughter into her arms. The little girl was crying. Elsa felt her eyes get moist, her daughter was alright.
"Good timing," Freya said. She had a spear of ice in her hands and she was wearing armor made of ice. Alexandra was hiding behind her leg and Freya seemed to be shielding her eyes from the fight with her cape.
Elsa turned back to Kaji's fight when she heard someone scream out in pain. She saw that Kaji had severed one of the assassins' arms off. The assassin fell to his knees, grasping the stump where his arm was. Kaji quickly ended the other assassins' life with a slash of his sword and then he quickly picked up the wounded assassin by his neck and easily lifted him into the air and slammed him into the wall.
"Who sent you?!" he demanded, his eyes narrowed and his voice low and dangerous, he was obviously not happy. Lightning arched around him and Elsa felt a little scared, seeing Kaji like that. She was shaken out of it though when the Assassin started laughing.
"You know who…The true ruler of the Southern Isles has returned…and you shall see him soon," the assassin laughed. Elsa saw Kaji's eyes widen before he ended the Assassin's life by shocking him to death with his lightning. He dropped the smoking corpse and then he turned to look right at Elsa and for the first time she saw fear go through Kaji's eyes.
