"Well, here it is." Hans threw a hand up half-heartedly to a small castle with a single tower.
Elsa followed, a little nervous, but not like before...more like the kind of nerves one gets with butterflies. "Oh."
"I know it's not much, but-"
"No, no! I'm sure it's lovely." Elsa was curious as to why such a handsome prince as he would live in such a simple kingdom.
"Thanks. I do like to call it home. Right this way." Hans opened the door for Elsa, and she entered timidly. The foyer was simple, yet dark looking with the colors of maroon and black as the theme. All of the curtains were closed, shutting out all light. They entered the throne room, where two chairs were placed. A huge chandelier hung at the center, demanding all attention for guests.
"I do apologize, my castle does not compare to Arandelle."
"Don't apologize." Elsa was surprised to find herself saying this. "I like it. It's simple, not like you're putting on a show for everybody. You can be yourself without being afraid."
Hans smiled sweetly at her. "That's what I thought! I'm not ashamed. It's quiet, no busy bodies running around throwing extravagant parties-no offense, "
"None taken,"
"Anyway, it gives me a lot of time to travel, see the world. I've learned to never be afraid. Because being afraid makes one very weak and rather cowardly. I admire you for your bravery because it's about time you show your true colors and not hide what's inside you."
"Thank-you..." I must be dreaming. This man is everything I ever hoped. I think I may be falling for him.
"You muse be tired." Hans led her to a spiral staircase. "Let's get you a room where you can rest."
"Oh, I don't want to intrude, I-"
"No, no please! I insist. Just follow me."
Upstairs, there was a door every five feet on both sides of a never-ending hallway. Windows showed the sun setting in the west, bringing upon the cold night. But of course, the cold never bothered Elsa, really. The darkness really doesn't bother me, either. It's peaceful, and quiet.
"I hope you find this room to your liking. It's the best I can offer."
"Hans, I cannot thank you enough for your hospitality. It means more to me than you'll ever know."
"It is my pleasure, your highness. "
"Please, Elsa."
"My apologies. Goodnight, Elsa."
"Goodnight, Hans."
"Look out, Toothless!"
"Sorry! De reindeer must be spooked on lading here."
"Somethin' ain't right, here." Aster hopped our of the sleigh and disappeared behind a tree. He came back as a Pooka, towering over six feet tall. "Much better. Now we can find Elsa for sure."
Rapunzel laughed as Jack did a loop before gently placing her down on the soft snow. "How was that?!"
"That was so much fun! I've never experienced anything like that!" She three her arms around him. "Thank-You Jack!"
Kristoff jumped off the Sandy creature, and was just about to make sure Sven was ok when Anna slipped and fell off. Trying to catch her, but failing miserably, the two fell into the snow.
"Oops, sorry Christopher! "
Kristoff spit out a bit of snow. "It's Kristoff!"
They awkwardly got up and brushed themselves off. Sven was too busy investigating the strange thing theyes just flew on. But his investigation was cut short when Sandy snapped his fingers and the large manta ray disintegrated into thin air.
"Is everybody ok?" Tianna whizzed around checking on everyone again.
"Yeah, yeah, we'really fine." Merida impatiently answrred. She, being a girl of action, wanted to get going. "Now, how are we supposed to find Elsa?"
"Yes! Good question! " North exclaimed. "I say we split up and shout as loud as possible if one of us find a her, then the rest of us will run to them, then we can all go home and have some of my special fruitcake!"
Jack and Aster gagged at the mention of North's famous, yet awful fruitcake. One time when Jack was little, he chipped a tooth after biting into a piece of the dessert. Tianna had thrown a fit and it took hours for her to fix his tooth. Her being a fairy, teeth had always been her specialty.
Sandy waved a flag to get everyone's attention.
"Uh guys," Hiccup raised his voice a little, then pointed to the little gold man. "I think he's trying to tell us something."
Everyone turned to look at Sandy, who pointed up to the moon, which oddly started to shine brighter.
"What's with the moon?" Kristoff thumbed towards it.
"It's the Man in the Moon." Jack explained. "He's like our guardian. Has watched over us forever. He gave me and everyone else our magical powers. "
"Get out!" Merida laughed. "Ye mean te tell me that the moon is full of magic?"
"More than you'll eva know." Bunny said proudly.
"Manny, old friend! " North greeted. "We need your help. Where can we find Elsa?"
Everyone stared in awe as Manny's moon beams shined down on a flat spot on the ground. They leaned over and looked at a tall, dark figure and a woman with thick hair, both laughing menacingly. They saw a third figure, thought to be Elsa for sure, restrained and looking defeated.
"She's in trouble!" Jack shot up into the air, hovering above the group. "We have to find her now!"
