A/N, Christmas is almost here. Fuck yeah. You guys would have no idea how tempting it is to write my brother's saying after any fuck yeah. To the story.
Chapter 25: And So It Begins
Elsa didn't sleep well that night due to the letter and what this Yama character had said to her. She woke feeling groggy and unwilling to move. With all her will power, she forced herself to get out of bed and prepare for the day. She had to show her guests the near sections of the kingdom since she didn't have too much to show them the full kingdom. She walked to breakfast to see Mulan talking to Lilly, Ellen, Fiona and Cleo. She didn't want to bother them but Cleo beckoned her over.
"Hello Mulan; Lilly; Ellen; Fiona; Cleo; what would you like" Elsa asked with a bow.
"They were just telling me about some of your little adventures since your coronation. I am amazed you put your kingdom in a winter during the summer" Mulan answered, returning the bow.
"Let me guess. Fiona told you that one" Elsa eyed her most trusted guard when Lauren was away.
"You got me" Fiona cheerily admitted.
"You also seem to be interested in the Realms. Do you know what the Chinese Realm is like yourself or do I have to ask someone from another Realm" Mulan asked her host queen.
"You can ask Cleo. She is from the Egyptian Realm so she is bound to travel to other Realms" Elsa answered.
"I will ask her later. I have a few more questions about your adventures. So you traveled through time, to the past" Mulan spoke about the events after Mockery's death.
"I do not want to remember Mockery's death nor some of the people I met in the past. Sorry" Elsa quickly requested.
"Sorry. I didn't know that" Mulan apologised.
"You didn't know so I forgive you" Elsa breathed.
"If I can continue asking? Who is this Shadow guy? He doesn't sound very pleasant" Mulan asked, not sure what he is like.
"Imagine the scariest thing in any legend. Then times that by infinity and you got yourself a quarter of Shadow" Elsa answered.
"Only a quarter" Mulan questioned.
"He has multiple versions of himself. When we first met one, he was one of the remaining four. The next one we met sacrificed himself for us. The third was about as dangerous as a volcano. The fourth we are yet to meet and we don't plan on doing so" Lilly answered for her mother.
"Interesting. Four different Shadows, each completely different to the others. What names do they go by" Mulan asked, curious if they went by different names to tell them apart.
"There is 'speed', the first we met. Second was 'emotion'. The most recent met one was 'brute'. The one yet to show their ugly face is 'magic'. I wonder" Fiona stroked her chin as she lost herself in thought.
"Weird names. Anyway, I am going to get myself some breakfast" Mulan announced as she walked to the dinning hall.
"Mind if I join you" Elsa asked, when she ran to the woman.
"Don't mind at all" Mualn smiled as they walked towards the dinning hall together.
When the two women walked into the dinning hall, they were met with Rapunzel, Jasmine and Anna talking. They interrupted the conversation as they walked to vacant seats close to the kitchen.
"About time you two showed up. We wanted to see if we could have an all girl day but we kinda need to get the other girls to join and we can't do that unless we have the two most independent woman with us" Anna requested.
"All depends on the day Anna. Today isn't too good since I have some plans for it like tour of some of beautiful landscapes and before you ask, I don't plan on us going to the ice palace today" Elsa sighed.
"Tell me tomorrow is good" Jasmine asked.
"Hold on. Ice palace" Mulan asked.
"Didn't the other girls tell you about that" Elsa questioned.
"No. I don't think they did" Mulan answered.
"Anyway, I don't have any plans tomorrow except for the evening" Elsa answered Jasmine's question.
"So tomorrow it is" Anna squealed. "Now we need the other girls."
Elsa ate her breakfast with the four girls then headed towards the courtyard. The guests all walked from their rooms to meet her. She allowed them to go on a horse of their picking as the stable master led the castle horses towards them. The stable master later returned with the horses for Elsa, Anna, Taylor and Ticf since his was left there for better care. Kristoff climbed onto Sven's back. Genie retreated into a small golden lamp. Iago and Abu both rode on Carpet. Eugene and Rapunzel both climbed onto Maximus' back. (I remember the horse's name from Tangled but can't name the lizard. Shows how much I like the lizard). Elsa led the group to some of the beautiful locations close to the castle. They soon reached a place Elsa never wanted to remember the events of. A small clearing in the forest. Here, when she was thirteen, she rested after leaving the castle one night to try to master her powers but instead, she killed a harmless woodland creature. She didn't remember the animal species but the sound of the animal dying was too much for her. Taylor trotted his horse closer to Elsa as she looked like she was holding back tears. Knowing exactly what happened here since he was told everything. Calmed, she led the group deeper into the forest to show them a breath-taking view of Arendelle. Here she dismounted and explained how she came across this area. She remembered when she was sixteen and she came across here when she was allowed to leave her room for a day. She explored the forest and found this view. She even told the guests the name of the place, well the name she gave it anyway. 'A Goddess Rival.' She later led the group towards Arendelle again until they saw a cloaked figure standing in their path.
"About time you got here. We were getting worried. Weren't we Eagle. Weren't we Crow. Wouldn't you agree Raven" the figure laughed.
"Who are you miss? Are you with anyone" Elsa called.
"I go by many names. I just asked some of my other names if they were worried about you. You now see Sparrow. The psychopath" the figure screamed before throwing something at Elsa.
Before anyone reacted. Another mysterious figure jumped into the path and caught what the first figure threw.
"I thought I asked you to stay in one personality, Betas. Not turn into your most psychopathic personality" the second cried.
"Sorry Yama. Kinda hard when 'magic' Shadow is on the way with an army" the first laughed.
"Sorry about this" the second figure roared before kicking the first in the side of the head.
"It can't be" Elsa, Anna and Ticf whispered to themselves, unaware with what the other two said.
"Who are these two jokers" Mulan asked, curious about the mysterious figures.
"I don't know" Elsa lied.
"Got me beat" Anna lied as well, not knowing that Elsa lied.
"Whoever they are, they seem to know each other" Taylor answered.
They watched as they witnessed these two people fight. Both being entertained and interested in them. They noticed that the first strike one the first figure was taking effect as she was starting to struggle to stand. The second was far too quick for the first to even touch. Soon the first figure fell unconscious. During the fight. They noticed that the first figure was wild in fighting. They also noticed that the second was light-footed but packed some heavy hits when he attacked.
"Sorry about that but my friend suffers from split personality syndrome. She has about ten different personalities. Each triggered by something. You just saw the Sparrow personality. The second worst personality. I better get her outta here. Queen Elsa. Others" the figure bowed before hoisting the unconscious figure over his shoulder and ran out of the path.
Elsa led her bewildered guests back to the castle. She had all the horses returned to the stables while she had Sven do whatever he does. She waited until she was sure not guests were around to see her leave the castle. Little did she know a curious guest hid from her.
~A Ship. Off The Coast~
"Sir. When do we attack" a man asked his shadowy friend.
"Two days time. But first we need to have someone waiting for us. Send Scar ahead" the shadowy man ordered. "I will be complete after this."
A/N, and so Shadow's plan begins. Bye.
