Outside the city of Arendale, deep in the mountains was a hidden warren. It was home to a tribe of mythical creatures. The rock trolls. The trolls were benevolent, unlike others who carried the name 'troll'. And the leader of this tribe was Grand Pabbie, shaman and king of the rock trolls.
The great and wise Pabbie was meditating on a pleasant sunny day. He did this often, content to let his people go about their business as he allowed himself to become one with nature and connect with the astral forces and cosmic workings of the universe. But unlike most times, he was not alone.
Joining him in his meditation session was a human. A Native American woman and fellow shaman. She was known throughout the magical world as the Wind Walker. Scourge to monsters, demons, dark wizards, and any who would dare threaten the lives of the innocent. But her friends called her PH.
She'd taken time off from her unit. PH often did this, for she was always seeking to push her magical powers to new heights. She learned from many masters. Like the voodoo queen of New Orleans for example. She'd trained and in many mystic arts, and was seeking to increase her powers under Pabbie's tutelage.
Plus like the wind PH was a natural wanderer. Her spirit loved travel the world.
She'd been in Arendale for a few weeks now. And she felt a little guilty she hadn't told two particular people.
"Something wrong PH?" Pabbies asked as he noticed her thoughts seemed to be drifting.
PH sighed and opened her eyes. She gazed in the direction of Arendale city. Torn on whether or not she should visit them. She'd missed Elsa's birthday apparently. She didn't know how to make that up to her.
"Maybe you should see those disciples of yours," Pabbie advised with a knowing smile.
PH pursed her lips. "I haven't seen them in a year. And I missed Elsa's birthday…what if they don't want to see me?"
"You mean, what if they don't need you?" Pabbie said as he voiced her true worries. She chewed the inside of her cheek. Truth was she really wanted to see them. To check on them. She followed them in the news, but she wanted to know more about their personal lives. She wanted to know she had a place as more than just their magic teacher.
"Well?" Pabbie asked again.
With a small internal debate PH took a breath and stood up. She smiled down at Pabbie. "I'll be back Pabbie." With a wave of her hand she was obscured form view by a small whirlwind. And when it cleared she was gone as the winds whisked her away.
Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff enjoyed a lazy afternoon inside on that fine day. There was no crimes, no disasters the authorities couldn't handle. So they were all curled up on the sofas as Anna decided on a movie.
Anna leaned against her boyfriend and spared a glance at her sister. Elsa was sitting with her legs curled up under her. And Anna could see she was bummed. Her birthday had passed, and they'd hoped PH would visit, or at least call. But there had been no word. They hadn't seen her in a year. Or spoken to her.
They didn't know why they didn't call her up every now and then. But they supposed they didn't want to come off as needy. They were used to depending on themselves. And PH had taught them what they needed, and she had her own life to live and her duty as an NSA agent. The last thing she needed was her two students calling her up just because they wanted to hear her voice.
With a breath Elsa go up and went to her room. Anna watched, her heartstrings tugging for her sister.
Elsa went to her room. She absentmindedly looked into her full body mirror. And suddenly she saw PH in it. She palmed her forehead. "Really Elsa? You miss her so much you seeing her in your?" she said to herself in exasperation.
"Elsa…I'm sorry," PH said. Elsa blinked a little in surprise. She looked at the reflection, believing this was her mind trying to get past this.
"It's ok. I…we know you have responsibilities," she said shrugging.
"Yes, but you two are my responsibility too," PH said, her eyes gentle and full of guilt.
"It's fine. We're just…your students. You taught us what we needed. You don't owe us anything."
PH bowed her head. Then she looked up. "I've missed you. Both of you. You and your sister mean a lot to me. I care about you. As more than just my students. You know that right?"
Elsa managed to put on a small smile. "Yes," she muttered with a small nod. She felt better. Of course PH cared about them. How could she let herself believe otherwise?
"Elsa are you—" Anna suddenly paused mid-sentence as she came into the room.
Elsa turned to see Anna looking at her in bewilderment. She raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "Something wrong Anna?"
Anna blinked before rubbing her eyes. She blinked again and widened them in disbelief. "I think I'm going nuts…but I see PH in the mirror."
Elsa's eyes widened before she whirled around. Anna was seeing PH too? Wasn't she a figment of her imagination?
PH's reflection smiled. And suddenly the mirror's surface began to shimmer and ripple like water. PH's reflection took a step closer before she suddenly emerged from the mirror. Elsa and Anna yelped and took a small leap back in surprise as PH was now standing before them.
"Hello," she said softly.
Elsa's mouth formed into a happy smile. She was about to throw her arms around her when she was harshly shoved to the side by a certain red head.
"TEACH!" Anna shouted happily as she threw her arms around PH. She looked up into her eyes with a wide smile. "You're here. And that was awesome! Stepping through the mirror like that! I didn't know you could do that!" Anna cried in wonder.
"Good to see you too Anna," PH said with a laugh as she patted her head. She looked past her to Elsa, who stood there fidgeting with her hands. "Elsa," PH said as she lifted up her arm. Elsa smiled before coming forward to embrace her master.
"Sorry I missed your birthday Elsa. I was busy on a mission with my team," PH whispered.
"Its fine, we know you have responsibilities."
"But, I want to make it up to you. I have some time away from the team. So I want to take you guys out," she told the pair. They looked up to her inquisitively.
"Tomorrow I'm taking you guys out for the entire day. Just us,"
"Can Kristoff come?" Anna piped in.
PH shrugged. "Sure, why not."
"YAY!"
"Also, I have a present for Elsa," PH said as she gently dislodged herself form the girls' arms. Reaching into a pocket she pulled out a necklace made of stunning pale gemstones. Elsa and Anna gasped in amazement.
"These are white, star gems. Not native to this world," she said as she stepped behind Elsa and placed the necklace around her neck. "They can also amplify magic. I hope this can at least somewhat make up for missing your birthday."
Elsa ran a finger over the glistening white gems and beamed.
"They look good on you," PH said with a nod. "Oh, and for Anna too," she said as she reached into another rocket and pulled out another necklace, only this one haled a large red gemstone.
"HOLY MOLY! Look at the size of that rock!" Anna cried in shock. It was as big as the center of her palm. PH chuckled as she handed it to her.
"Alright, so let's spend today catching up. And tomorrow I'm taking you somewhere special," she offered.
"Where?" Elsa asked curiously.
PH grinned. Oh she had a really special place in mind. Someplace full of wonder and so much magic the girls' jaws would drop.
"The Wizards' Market of London."
