Queen of Snow and Ice

by Flying Penguin

Elsa still fears losing control so when a stranger offers to teach her restraint, she accepts. But Jack's motives are not all they seem and a dark prophecy is closing in on the young queen. Between a meddling sister and nosy Guardians, Jack and Elsa will manage somehow as long as they don't kill each other first. A frosty tale of high adventure and love told in 100 word snippets.

"You know about Guardians?" Jack asked.

"Of course, the trolls told me all about them when Kristoff and I visited. Kristoff's six foot Pooka godfather is a Guardian."

Elsa realized Jack still clasped her fingers in his and tried without success to withdraw her hand.

"Judging by your hair, if you're a Guardian then you must be… Stribog." Anna eyed Jack. "You don't look like anyone's grandfather to me, Mister Grabby."

"No one's called me that in ages." Jack said. "And no, no grandkids."

"That's good," Anna said. "Now let go of my sister. She isn't going anywhere with you."

Author's Note: If you read the books by William Joyce, you know that the Easter Bunny is actually a Pooka, not technically a bunny, but close enough. I've always thought he'd get along really well with the rock trolls, considering he spends all his time hanging around with those carved, egg-shaped boulders.

According to my research, Stribog is the Slavic god and spirit of ice, frost, winds, sky and air. The name means "flowing god". He is also the ancestor (or grandfather) of the winds of the eight directions (according to wikipeia). Hence the 'grandpa' quip.

Also, not to act as a bribe, but if you review, I will respond. I'm so excited about reviews that I can't help it.

FrostSapphire - hope this answered your question. I think Anna is a little too accustomed to Elsa being the 'proper' one. Time to shake things up.

Kcaelle - hello, and thank you for your review. I'm trying to keep this story as fast paced and interesting as possible (for my sake as well as my readers). My schedule is pretty dedicated and I know many wish I'd write longer chapters. As an architecture major I spend about 50-90 hours working every week on school work- that's 7 to 13 hours everyday, sometimes more) so this is a real treat for me. I'm glad you're enjoy the writing. :)
