This is an adventure story about love, friendship and family. It is mainly Kristelsa, however many other relationships will be involved
I don't own anything related to Frozen, Disney or pretty much anything...
Since these characters are from disney I will abstain from making them curse or enter in too intimate moments so be warned. They might also break into songs (Most of the songs will be from other disney movies, some will be from other movies and some will be non-movie song. I own none of them).
We're 2 chapters from the ending, I'm still not sure if I'll add an extra closure chapter.
_The Witch Decidere or The Battle of Weselton pt.1_
Elsa looked directly at Kristoff even amongst the crowd, the ice harvester didn't seem affected by the lack of sleep, his face was filled with concern, he approached the queen and casually stood at her side-
"Nice outfit" commented the ice harvester, the queen wore the customary battle uniform of Arendelle royalty, as did Anna.
The queen blushed at the compliment, she knew that a battle suit didn't actually look good on her but it was always good to hear compliments from her boyfriend "We're going to infiltrate into Weselton's castle, we can't go around wearing pink and frilly dresses you know… regardless of how ugly this uniform is"
The ice harvester chuckled "I really meant that compliment, not every girl is capable of looking that good on uniform…"
"Oh… um- thanks then… you look handsome too" he wore a standard royal guard uniform but with a magenta sash
"Thanks…-" he mumbled looking away "-so… Elsa, I know this place is hardly private but-"
The queen cut him off by grabbing his hand, her cold fingers tangling with his' "Be careful Kristoff, please-" she begged, emphasising the importance of her request "-try to discern recklessness from bravery and before you do anything bold think about how I would feel if you were gone" her icy blue eyes stared at him as she said the last words
Kristoff smiled at her, he gave her a quick peck on her forehead "It's funny to think that just a couple of weeks ago I didn't felt this way for you… now I don't know what I would do without you"
The queen's mood dimmed "It's so frightening-" she mumbled barely above whisper, her grip of his hand tightened "-I'm scared of how much I care for you"
Kristoff looked at her eyes "Hey, I'll be alright"
Elsa was barely able to meet his gaze, she had told him more than once what happened to him on her dreams; what was meant to happen to him, but Kristoff never weighted the importance of her warnings "Please just- Just promise me that you will keep away from danger" It was all she could say, Elsa was determined to save Kristoff but as far as she knew, he was meant to die before the battle against Decidere was over.
He frowned looking at her sad gaze and tried to reassure her with the loving smile he always gave her "I will, but you have to promise me you'll do the same"
Elsa sighed "You're the one that's going to fight her Kristoff, you're in far more danger-" she clarified "-I've told you what is going to happen if-"
"I know, I know-" he interrupted, Elsa lowered her gaze "-but the thing is… If I didn't face her she would be at the castle, and then you would be in danger" he reasoned with a cheeky grin promoting a sad frown from the queen
"…I love you" she said after a moment of silence; wishing, hoping her words would sink into his heart and ward him from harm
The ice harvester looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them before he leaned and gave her a quick kiss on the lips "I love you too Elsa" he whispered; his words were strong, he knew that even after what they had been through there was still a trace of doubt on her when he said those words, that's why he tried to pour all his feelings for her into those words, trying to make her understand that for him it was okay to face whatever fate awaited him just for her sake. He planted another quick kiss on the queen's lips.
The couple parted and stared at each other in silence until they were interrupted-
"Elsa, we're leaving!" called Ariel from the ship that would be used to infiltrate Weselton's castle
The queen bitterly wished she had more time to tell everything she needed to say to Kristoff but there was no time to lose, no room for delays or mistakes, if she didn't commit to stop Decidere the witch would take everyone she cared about, Elsa took a deep breath and kissed his cheek before she rushed towards the ship.
Magnus looked at the entire allied army, the combined forces had stopped before the army of Decidere; thousands upon thousands of minions and the relatively large army of Weselton's infantry
"We've sighting of Decidere, she's standing behind the first bulk of her army" reported one of the scouts
"We must be careful that she doesn't join the fray directly" commented the prince of the Southern Isles
"The minions don't seem to be equipped with guns so our army will have the advantage at long range, it's the Weselton army that we should worry about" commented Lord Tunder, a captain of Corona who had been appointed as Magnus third-in-command
Magnus nodded "Weselton's army can inflict us a lot of damage if they stand behind that giant minions army, however their morale is probably shaken already… I don't know what kind of lie has Decidere used to take command of such an army but no soldier of Weselton will feel comfortable fighting alongside those monsters, they won't give their lives for a cause they don't understand. Lord Tunder, you'll take our cavalry and circle around the enemy army, if Weselton's infantry is met by a swift charge their spirit should be easily broken"
Tunder nodded "Once they are routing should we give them chase?"
"No. If Weselton's infantry starts escaping return behind our lines and await further orders, there's no need for senseless bloodshed"
Lord Soren stood at Magnus side as second-in-command "The army of minions might lack guns or cannons but they are better armored and equipped for close combat than our men, we should try to do as much damage as we can before our men clash directly against those monsters"
Magnus turned to him "Lord Soren, I'll need you to take control of the artillery, if gunfire is our advantage we should exploit it as much as we can, so don't focus the fire against the front lines of the minions, once our armies clash in close combat we should keep firing at the minions that have still not engaged in combat"
"Yes sir!"
Magnus turned to his other men "Remember men, regardless of the state of the fight if there are sightings of any of Decidere's three shadow minions that target must be our priority. Now, To arms!"
The deafening sound of the guns and cannons filled the air and sealed the beginning of the battle.
"So… has any of you fought an evil witch before?" asked Eugene with a smile as the princes party advanced through the woods in a different path from the main army; while they had to keep the witch away from the castle they still needed to keep her devastating powers away from the mass of their army.
"I have, but only once… and she was more of a crazy giant octopus-like colossus that controlled the seas" replied Eric, promoting a weird look from the other four men
"How did that happen?" asked Hans, still surprised by Eric's reply
The prince of Ibaren shrugged "It's a long story… not even I understood very well how it all happened, but she was really decided in harming Ariel so I was forced to step in"
Charming chuckled "That sure is something, let's hope Decidere doesn't turn into a giant monster"
"At least after this we'll be able to boast about defeating an evil witch too" commented Eugene with optimism
Hans smiled "That's a story I'd like to tell, not everyday you manage to save the world from an evil witch" he added
"Let's focus on the 'saving the world' part first, we're not even sure if she'll come for us" said Kristoff, his tone openly showing his concern for Elsa and Anna's well-being
The party kept advancing through the woods until they reached a clearing, Weselton could be seen in the distance.
"The battle has probably started by now… It shouldn't be long before Decidere suspects we're taking a different road to sneak into Weselto-" before Charming could finish a pitch black crow landed before them, the prince noticed the creature in an instant "-Forget it, they are here"
Before their eyes the crow turned into a humanoid figure
"It's one of those crazy shadow minions" Eric gripped his spear tightly at the sight of the monster
The figure scanned the group of royals "Prince Charming! How are your wounds?" asked the shadow smirking at the prince of Swendell
Charming gritted his teeth at the sight of the shadow "That's Werra, he's really strong and not one ounce nice"
"Trying to sneak into the castle I see…'Tis a shame that I discovered you" teased the shadow
Without giving the creature time to move Hans took out his gun and shot the monster, but before the bullet impacted against the creature the shadow had shrunk into a black sphere
"Brace yourself, that thing is probably capable of calling Decidere so she might get here any minute now-" warned Eugene "-Seems like our sneaking plan was blown up"
The shadow took the shape of a giant crow like the time it attacked Swendell's castle just as the royals charged against the beast.
"Please take care Gustav" pleaded Ariel as the prince of the southern isles quietly anchored on the inner-docks of Weselton's castle
Gustav smiled at the party of princesses and fairies "Don't worry about me, my men and I will only have to deal with some of the city guards to distract their attention from the castle… It's nothing we haven't done before"
The princesses waved at the admiral as he left with a small group of soldiers to Weselton's main docks
"Hurry now princesses, there is no time to delay" warned Flora as she flicked her wand and magically created a pathway into the castle
Once inside the castle the princesses and the fairies had to divide in three groups
"We must split up to find the orbs, the more time we take in destroying them the more danger the guys will be in" commented Cinderella nervously
The fairies nodded "We'll have two groups of three and one of two"
"I think I should be on the smaller group, considering that I have powers of my own" suggested Elsa
Ariel turned to her "Are you sure? I could take your place if you want-"
"No-" insisted the queen of Arendelle "-I'll be fine, trust me" her words seemed mostly directed to her younger sister
Anna looked at Elsa, her face did little to conceal her concern, she took a deep breath and forced a smile "Very well, then I'll go with Ariel, and Rapunzel can go with Cinderella"
The princesses nodded and turned to the fairies "We can perceive the magic of the orbs; one is close by, in the basement; The other is in the throne room; and the last one is on the last floor of the tallest tower of the castle" informed Fauna calmly
"We'll go to the tower!" exclaimed Anna
"Yeah, we're the fastest after all" agreed Ariel
Fauna nodded "Then I'll go with you" the two princesses nodded and bolted down the hallway, the fairy swiftly chasing behind them.
The remaining members of the party stared at each other
"I'll go with Elsa-" commented Merryweather "-my magic has always been more offensive than yours after all" she told Flora who nodded in agreement
"You're right, you'll do a better job protecting her, now go we'll take care of the basement!" commanded the fairy
The blue fairy turned to Elsa and with a smile guided her down the hallway, the queen running behind her as fast as she could manage.
Flora turned to Cinderella and Rapunzel "Very well then, Let's go!"
"Eric are you okay?" Kristoff rushed to the side of the prince. Eric had just managed to bring down the crow at the cost of receiving a direct attack from the creature's claws that sent him flying against a tree
"Sure thing, Is that monster down yet?" he asked nonchalantly
Hans, Charming and Eugene were doing a mighty job of beating the fallen shadow in the floor until it could no longer move
"Uh… yeah, it seems like it's down for good-" he replied "-but there's still no sighting of Decide-" before he could finish a whirlwind of fire landed in front of the royals, exploding into the shape of the evil witch.
Hans rushed to Kristoff's side "Stop jinxing the team guys...-" he complained lightheartedly at the sight of the evil witch, he handed Eric a sword and turned to Decidere "-Took you long enough! How's the battle going?" he teased
The witch face perfectly concealed her ire "You meddlesome children have messed with my plan for the last time, I will not let you pry in my business any longer"
Kristoff smiled "But we were just getting started"
"Oh 'king' Kristoff, I will rejoice on the tears of your queen when I send you back to Arendelle in an urn" taunted the witch throwing a thunder to the ice harvester who was unable to react
In the blink of an eye a figure stood between Kristoff and the thunder, receiving the powerful impact with a large shield
"What is this? Another ant for me to stomp?"
"I'm afraid I can't let you go and kill my future brother-in-law Decidere" The voice belonged to prince Adam who stood in front of Kristoff with a cocky grin
The princes were surprised at the arrival of the prince of Rosidae but they were grateful regardless of the surprise, Kristoff didn't even know who the man was.
Decidere chuckled at the sight of the men defying her "You lot are really something… but I am tired of your pointless struggle and I am tired of this game. You wished for my attention? Fine! you can have it. Let's see how you try to face against my full wrath"
Charming looked at the princes and then at the witch, a broad smile crossing his face "I'm afraid we're not big on trying Decidere, your end is nigh"
"Not big on trying?-" The witch laughed "-I see… but that is only because you have never faced me… and all the power of HELL!" roared Decidere and before their eyes she began to turn into a colossal black dragon.
"Soo… Is this anything like the witch you faced Eric?" asked Eugene slightly discouraged at the sight of their new enemy
Eric looked at the prince and chuckled "Only the giant part… and the crazy part"
"Well… once this is over someone owes me an explanation, this is not what I was expecting" laughed Eugene trying to keep a high spirit for the imminent battle.
A loud bell echoed across the castle catching Anna's attention "What's that?" she asked panting for breath as they ran behind Fauna to the highest tower of Weselton
"That's Weselton's emergency bell, it means that the city is under attack. Prince Gustav must've begun his distraction… oh dear, I do hope those brave men stay safe"
"Don't worry lady Fauna, I'm sure they're" reassured Ariel as they kept running
Suddenly Fauna stopped "I hear people coming" she said turning to the princesses, with the flick of her wand she turned Anna and Ariel into a wall-light and a portrait respectively before shrink in herself and hiding.
Seconds later a group of soldiers ran past them down the tower, once they were gone Fauna returned to her regular size and returned Anna and Ariel to her normal form
The two princesses seemed baffled by the transformation "Well… that was weird" mumbled Anna with amusement
"Let's go my dear" signalled Fauna resuming her way to the top of the tower
"Who are you?-" asked Elsa, her gaze shifting from the shadow figure and the sickly-looking king of Weselton "-What happened to the king?"
"Are you responsible for the tolling of the bell?" asked the shadow
Merryweather hovered in front of Elsa "Delay not queen Elsa, the king has been possessed by Decidere since the very beginning. This shadow is one of the three strongest minions of Decidere, Mortis. It was probably assigned to watch over the king in case we launched a surprise attack"
Mortis chuckled looking at Elsa "So you're queen Elsa, your sister was the one that humiliated my sibling Fames, I was eager to meet her but I guess I'll have to settle for you… your family has proven to be an abnormally annoying stone in my mistress shoes… starting by your parents" said the shadow, smirking at the reaction Elsa showed at the mention of her parents
"M-my parents?"
Without warning Merryweather threw a magic attack to the shadow, Mortis evaded the attack with relative ease and chuckled-
"You see queen Elsa… after using the power of the orbs and annulling the powers of these so called 'fairies'-" the last word was dripping with deride, much to Merryweather's annoyance "-My mistress needed to find the northern troll tribe to make sure no magical creature could mingle in her plans. She faced your parents as they traveled by sea and demanded to know the location of the hidden valley of the living rocks -a secret only known to the royal family of Arendelle- fair as your king father was he refused to give the secret claiming to owe a great debt to that feeble magical folk…"
Elsa stood in shock, looking at the creature as a whirlwind of emotions began twisting inside of her
Merryweather looked with similar disbelief "So Decidere murdered Arendelle's royal family?" she asked
Mortis laughed "Since the king and queen refused to share the secret my mistress had to be a little more persuasive, and at the mention of the harm she would bring upon you and your sister the king was possessed by anger and he attacked. Pointless as you can imagine, my mistress easily disarmed the king but her vexing anger didn't allow her to notice when the queen grabbed her husband sword and broke my mistress magical sceptre in half" The shadow allowed a little tone of irritation
"And that's why she disappeared three years ago! Without her sceptre her magic is greatly weakened… That's why she delayed her plans of destruction!" concluded Merryweather with surprise
"Yes, without the untimely interference of those two fools my mistress would've brought destruction to the world long ago… after her sceptre was destroyed she used her final reserve of power to bring doom to the royal family, casting a great storm that would prove the end of the King and Queen of Arendelle" Mortis voice sounded almost mocking
The words had pierced deep into Elsa's heart. Her parents had never died in an accident. Her parents had been murdered. Murdered in cold blood.
Merryweather glanced at Elsa, concern crossing her elderly features, she turned to Mortis "You've said enough fiend, I'll silence you once and for all!" cried the angered Fairy as she charged towards the shadow.
-Yeah... I did make Decidere responsible for the death of Arendelle royalty, in this world she was also responsible for the pirates that ended the life of Ariel's mother.
-Anna and Ariel, in my headcannon are the fastest princesses of this lot since I imagine Anna had a lot more freedom than the other princesses and she ran more. Ariel might not be a natural walker but she has unnatural strength in her body since she is a mermaid... I mean, she did take like 5 seconds in learning how to walk.
-Anyway, this is a two parts chapter, the next one will be uploaded in a couple of days
I'm really honoured for your time
Have a good day.
