Chapter 29: The Voyage Home

Elsa, Jack, Viktor and Leif all boarded the ship together. After cast off, they were on their way. They were heading back to Arendelle before Viktor would then continue on his way towards the Southern Isles. Elsa leaned against the railing of the ship and looked out at the disappearing Jeparth. She sighed as she looked at it. She remembered the first time she had gone there. It had been a great trip. A full tour of the kingdom by the king himself who happened to be Helga's father. Jack came up to Elsa and leaned against the railing as well. He then turned to her.

"I just remembered," Jack asked.

"Hmm?" Elsa said turning her back on the sea and she now looked at her husband.

"We never did find out who pushed you off that cliff when King Klaus came to visit all that time ago."

"Oh it was Fredrik," Elsa said. "I don't remember much but a flash of memory came to me a while ago. I remember him pushing and me falling."

"Why did he do it?"

"He had found out I was pregnant," Elsa explained. "He and the palace doctor are quite close friends and I assume that's how he found out. He couldn't bear the thought of me having another child with the man I left him for. I don't think he never got over the fact that Leif was in the same boat. I think that little piece of information made him snap and realise that I never loved him. He turned into the green-eyed monster alright."

"Then why come after you rather than me?" Jack asked. "I was the one who, for sake of a better word, won?"

"I think he realised that I was the cause of all the hatred not you. I think he does blame you as you came in here, swooped me off my feet and caused me to leave him but I think it's more than that. I think he sees me leaving him as a choice that I made. You didn't make it for me – although you made a pretty good argument for it – and that frustrated him."

"Even after all this time?"

"Some people can never let go," Elsa shrugged.

"What about when he said that someone promised him?" Jack asked. "Who did he mean?"

"What do you mean Jack?" Elsa's eyes showed confusion.

Jack then explained how he and Anna along with Sandy managed to dive into her memories to figure out what had happened that day. Elsa was impressed with every word that Jack was saying.

"Well he did say 'he promised' a lot," Elsa paused to try and remember. "I don't know who the 'he' was. Maybe his King?"

"That was someone who Anna was considering," Jack said.

"I guess we will just never know," Elsa gave a small laugh.

"It was Pitch," the voice of North had drifted over to them. Elsa gave a start. She hadn't realised that all the Guardians had been listening in on their conversation.

"Pitch?" Elsa repeated quite incredulously.

"Pitch realised that he could easily manipulate Fredrik's fear of you leaving him for another man quite easily. He used this to his advantaged and tricked Fredrik into releasing the Fearlings that scattered themselves in a different form across Arendelle and thus engulfing everyone in their own fear," North explained.

"Fredrik sided with Pitch?" Elsa said looking thoroughly bewildered and glancing at Jack who looked equally confused.

"Indeed he did," North said. "He didn't realise of course who he was dealing with. Fredrik just took his deal as Pitch promised him your love in return for his services."
"How would he promise that?"

"I don't expect for one moment that Pitch was going keep his end of his bargain. I think he just said that as he knew that would get Fredrik to do what he wanted."

There was a silence after this before Jack spoke.

"How do you know this?" He said.

"Manny," North said simply. "You could say that he gave me a helping hand."

There was even more silence afterwards. Elsa didn't know what to say. She couldn't believe that Fredrik had allied alongside Pitch. Granted, he didn't know exactly what he was doing but there was something about it.

Their trip to Arendelle was very long. Viktor informed Elsa that their trip would take a very long time due to the wind which Elsa wasn't happy about. She was itching to get home and see her family. She wondered what kind of state Anna was in at that very moment. Probably driving everyone crazy at that moment. Elsa leaned against the railing once again and sighed. It seemed like an age had passed since she had last seen it. The last time she had seen it was right before Hans and Mathias arranged for her to be kidnapped. She breathed in the cool air. She always loved the cold. It reminded her of home which was exactly what she needed.


Anna and Kristoff were at the docks waiting for a friend to come. News had spread like wildfire about the end of the war between Jeparth and Arendelle. Anna couldn't have been happier. Elsa had done it. She had stopped this horrid war. Soon everything was going to right itself and life could continue as normal, the way it was supposed to. Anna watched as Rapunzel and Eugene stepped off the gangplank of the ship. Anna had written to them stating the current situation of the war and Rapunzel had written back saying that she would come to Arendelle bringing along her children. Their trip was much shorter than Anna expected as they were already on their way due to the end of the war. Anna's letter met them at another kingdom in Norway. Anna had been quite excited ever since she had received that letter. She had wanted to see her children again for a long time. It had gotten to a point that she had considered leaving Arendelle to go to Corona just to see them again but she had to stop herself and realise that if she wanted to hear any news first-hand, Arendelle was the place to be.

She watched as her children raced off the ship and bolted towards them. Anna embraced them all at once with Kristoff's large arms around all of them. Anna had missed her children so much. It felt so good just to feel them again, to hear their voices again and to see their smiles. It was a wonderful feeling. Anna's face split into an enormous smile as she gazed down at her children.

"Mama, Papa," their children said still hugging them.

"We've missed you so much," Anna said.

Anna then stood up and turned to Rapunzel and Eugene.

"Do you want to come have something to eat? Maybe a rest?" she asked them.

"Well as long as you make your famous sandwiches," Rapunzel said with a laugh.

"You got it!"

They then headed up to the castle together. Rapunzel was busy telling Anna all about the trouble that her children got up to. Kristoff kept reminding them that they had inherited Anna's troublemaker side rather than his sensible demeanour. Anna didn't look happy at this for one second which sent everyone else into fits of laughter. Eventually they made their way back to the castle where Anna instructed Kai and Gerda to bring them something to eat. Ten minutes later, they were all happily eating on food while they talked, laughed and grinned at each other.


Elsa watched as Jack was playing a game of ice jacks with Leif. Basically the rules were get your ice ball as close as the icicle as possible by rolling them along the ground within a circle area without touching it and closer than the other player. If you did this, you won. The game area was a large circular area and you can fire the ice ball from anywhere around the circle. Each player had four ice balls which meant they had four chances. With the ship rocking slightly up and down, this added to the challenge. Elsa could see Jack assisting his situation. He had already used two of his ice balls and Leif had used three. Jack was trying to figure out where he should try and get his ball. Leif was currently in the lead. Elsa knew that Jack would then proceed to knock Leif out of the ring which he ended up doing. Jack's ice ball whacked into Leif's and sent it rolling away from the icicle. Jack's ice ball came to a nice halt just a couple of millimetres away from the icicle.

"Solid move Papa," Leif said lining up his next shot.

"Thanks," Jack said.

Leif then rolled his ball and it knocked into Jack's ball sending it slightly to the left and away from the icicle. Elsa noticed that Leif's ice ball was slightly touching the icicle which meant that his ice ball didn't count but Jack didn't say anything as he lined it up. Maybe he didn't notice. Well if that was the case then Elsa wasn't going to tell him. He needed to figure it out for himself. Jack then rolled his ball but he had lined his ball up wrongly. His ball had rolled just next to Leif's closest ice ball and came to a halt a bit away.

"I win," Leif said cheering.

"Damn," Jack said. "I guess you did."

Leif was too busy cheering to see as Elsa leaned in close to Jack's ear and spoke.

"You do realise that you won as his ice ball was touching the icicle?" she whispered.

"Yeah I do," Jack said. "But I felt as it was just touching I wouldn't penalise him for that. It somehow didn't seem fair."

Elsa smiled and Jack leaned in and gave her a small kiss while Leif was lining the ice balls up for another game.

"Now Mama, you play with us," Leif said creating four balls for her.

"Hmm, think you can challenge the Snow Queen and get away with it?" Elsa said in a mockingly threatening voice.

All three of them laughed as Leif took his first shot. Their game was about halfway through with Jack and Elsa neck and neck approximately one millimetre away from the icicle each when Viktor came up to them.

"I've just received word that we should be approaching Arendelle very shortly," he said.

"Excellent," Elsa said lining up her shot and rolling her ice ball. It came very close to Jack's. It tapped it and caused Jack's to move that extra millimetre so it was touching the icicle. That made Jack mad as now that shot didn't count and that put Elsa in the lead.

"Can I have a shot?" Viktor asked.

"Sure," Elsa said.

She summoned up some ice and formed it into a ball shape. She handed it to Viktor who lie flat down on his stomach to get a proper look at the situation. He then rolled his ice ball that had a bit of force behind it. It whacked Elsa's out of the way and gently came to a stop just in front of the icicle.

"Nice shot Viktor," Elsa said.

"Thank you," he said. "Try to beat that."

"Oh I will," Jack said as he also lay down to get a decent shot.

Elsa watched as Jack's shot didn't quite have enough power for it to get to the icicle which made her laugh much to the disappointment of Jack. Eventually it was Leif who managed to get Viktor's shot out of the way and get a lead on the game. He managed to line up two shots quite close to the icicle which was both knocked out of the way by Jack which in turn, his one was knocked out by Elsa. The winner was eventually Elsa as Jack had tried and failed to knock her last ice ball out of the arena which thus resulted in Elsa's victory.

"Good game," she said with a smile.

"Again?" Leif asked.

"We might want to put round two on hold for a bit," Jack said.

"Why?" Elsa asked.

For an answer Jack pointed in the direction in front of them. When Elsa followed his finger to where it was pointing to, she found a familiar site in front of them.

Arendelle.
