Chapter 33: Darkness No More
Elsa's POV
It's been a week since we've found Anna again. She's doing better than ever! She's starting to walk again. Due to the helping of Kristoff helping her just like Jack did with me. North has been giving a special potion called Brew of Pain Relief. She told me that she couldn't feel anything. Just that it hurts a little bit.
I've been preparing the village to fight against Pitch. Jack and me have been doing that as well as our guards. They've had to go through a little persuasion.
FLASHBACK
"Forgive me your highness. But they are just villagers. They are like little kids. They won't learn."
This just made my veins boil. How could they say that? Everyone of my people are strong. They have been through the toughest things. They survived my huge storm that I didn't mean to do. They are survivors. Warriors. My people.
"These people have been through the toughest disasters of all history! Don't you remember when I made the winter storm on accident? Do you remember everyone freezing and on the verge of death? And they survived. They are my people. And you will teach them how to fight! Pitch will be here at any moment! And we must show him no mercy!"
Silence filled the air. I thought as if I shouldn't have said anything. But then one in front of me kneeled down. "Queen Elsa. We have waited so long for you to stand up for yourself. Showing that you do care for your people. We will serve you until the end!"
Then all of my guards kneeled down.
"Hail to the Queen! Hail to the Queen!"
They are ready.
My people are ready.
Arendelle is ready to fight!
"I'm so proud of you Elsa!" Jack said next to me putting a hand on my shoulder. I smiled back.
We are ready
END OF FLASHBACK
I went up to the guest bedroom to see Punzie and Eugene getting ready. Punzie had leather armor that had a sun in the middle. And iron shoulder pads on her shoulders. I then saw that she had a frying pan. A frying pan? Is she using that for her weapon?
Eugene has the same thing as her but in male form.
"Hey Elsa. What are you doing here?" Punzie asked. "Oh nothing just getting ready for when the time comes to defeat Pitch once and for all. My people will be at peace." I said with pride. Punzie smiled. "We might not have enough people but they have hope. Hope is all they need." I said.
"I have a surprise. Go look out your balcony." She said. I raised an eyebrow but went anyways. I stood up from my balcony with Punzie next to me. I couldn't believe my eyes. There were thousands upon thousands of other soldiers standing right from under my balcony. There must've been at least five thousand men! Or more. I looked back a Punzie. "I told my mother and father that we needed men for this battle against Pitch. They are here to serve you and only you. I've made sure of that." She said.
"How many are there?" I asked looking back at her.
"Ten thousand."
"Ten thousand?!"
"Yep. Pretty amazing isn't it?" She asked. I nodded. "This is amazing. More than enough! Thank you Punzie." I then gave her a huge hug. She hugged me back. I don't know what I did to deserve this but this is more than I could ever ask for.
...
I walked down to the great hall were I saw Jack talking to the guardians. He caught sight of me and left them with a nod. I walked up to him. He smiled at me. "Hey snowflake." He said. "Hey Frost." I replied. He smiled again.
"Aren't you gonna get ready my Queen?" He asked. I wrapped my hands around his neck and stood there smiling. "I'll get ready later. I just want to spend time with you." I leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips. He kissed me back.
"Jack."
"Yes?"
"If I don't make it,"
"Stop talking."
"I want you to know that I love you and always will. No matter what happens I'll always be with you, forever."
I kissed him again and he kissed me back. It was a very passionate kiss. I wish I could stay like this forever. But unfortunately, Pitch had other plans.
"Go get ready." He said. I nodded and headed to my bedroom. I opened the door and looked around. I took a deep breath in and out. We are going to get through this. All together as one.
I then felt myself being lifted into the air. I swatted to freak out but something made me feel like I was okay. That I was at peace. The I saw myself glowing and I then saw the light around me burst all around me. I had to close my eyes to keep from going blind.
The light then disappeared and I fell back to my feet. I looked at myself to see that I was wearing a beautiful white dress. White as snow. And I had a long cape that faded from white to lavender purple. (Elsa's new white dress from Frozen 2.)
"You have proven yourself to me Elsa. You are now Spirit if Ice and Snow. And the Snow Queen." I heard a voice from all around.
Mani.
I looked out towards my balcony and I saw the moon. I smiled. "Thank you Mani." I said.
I heard my door open from behind and saw Jack. He stopped in his tracks and had his mouth open slightly. Eyes widened. I smiled at him and walked over to him.
"You know you should really close your mouth." I said laughing.
"Wow you look...I...I don't even have words to say how gorgeous you are." He said. I felt heat creep up my cheeks. I tried to hide it but I didn't care. He cupped my head with his hands and smashed his lips onto mine. I fell into this beautiful kiss. I could then feel his tongue break my lips apart. And our tongues were having a playful sword fight in my mouth and his. It was the most passionate and beautiful kiss you could ever have with someone you love.
We broke apart breathing hardly. "Wow. That was..." Jack said but I finished him. "...amazing." He chuckled. "We'd better wait outside. Don't want everyone waiting for us." I nodded and headed towards my balcony.
...
I stood on my balcony with Jack next to me and Anna. It took a lot of persuasion for me to let Anna join the fight. But I'm letting her use a bow and arrow to shoot from the balcony. She didn't agree but went with it anyways. She had her bow ready with Kristoff next to her. And Punzie had Eugene next to her as well.
"We will fight to the end. Together?" I took Jack and Anna's hand. And the rest took each other's hand.
"Together." We said at the same time.
3rd Person POV
Elsa, Jack, Anna, Kristoff, Punzie, Eugene and all of the Guardians stood holding hands together facing the darkness of the night. All of their army was ready for any strike to come at them. Until they all saw it.
A huge dark cloud covered the moon and another came outside of the Arendelle kingdom. Elsa clutched Jack's hand harder. He did the same.
The cloud far outside the wall then had a figure of a man peering out towards all of the army and Elsa's friends. He smiled.
"Well well well. Isn't this a surprise! The kingdom of Arendelle and Corona all come together as a family. How sweet. It would be a shame if it all fell apart." He chuckled loudly so everyone could hear.
"This is what you call an army?" He asked. "Meet mine!" And with that a whole army appeared with dark horses, dark sand men armed to the teeth, dark wolves, and dark vultures. The whole army stretched all around the kingdom and beyond.
Jack looked to see if Elsa was afraid and needed comfort. But no. He saw her with no fear. All but hope. And so did the rest of everyone on the balcony.
"You see now? Do you think you can defeat me?" He asked with his evil grin. His yellow teeth showing a deathly smile from it.
"You cannot defeat me! Surrender now! And maybe I'll spare your pathetic lives!" He laughed loudly again.
All of his dark figures were armed well. Dark soldiers had their spears and bows made of sand ready. Wolves had slobber hangin from their mouths ready to fuel on human flesh. And vultures circling around ready to pick at what is left of all of the dead bodies. Horses huffing the ground like an angry bull ready to charge at any second. Pitch just had to give one word and they would charge at everyone.
Elsa then let go of jack and Anna's grasp and stood on her balcony.
"No, Pitch. You may have a stronger army, but we all have hope. Hope that we will win this fight. And that's why I'm going to say..."
Jack looked at her curiously and so did everyone else.
"What?" Pitch asked.
"...I forgive you." She said. Everyone was surprised for her say those three words. They thought she was going to lash out on him and it would turn into a blood bath. But no. She was being the better person. A true and noble queen.
Elsa: Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Elsa: Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Anna and Elsa: Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where a dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Elsa, Anna, Punzie: Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
The guardians, Elsa, Jack, Anna:
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met and midnight
In the hanging tree
Elsa and Jack: Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Everyone on the balcony: Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Were I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Everyone on the balcony and all of Arendelle:
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Were a dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

"No! No! No! No!!" Pitch yelled. Everyone then saw Pitch with black sand coming out of him. "Curse you Elsa!!! Do you know what you have done?!" He yelled with more and more sand coming out of him forming a big cloud of black sand above him.
"Yes I do. I have defeated you. And now everyone will be at peace. There will be darkness no more!" She said.
He then screamed. The cloud started to get bigger, bigger, and bigger. All of the horses, soldiers, wolves, and vultures that Pitch had created had been going into all of the other sand.
"Elsa! Get down! I think it's gonna blow!" Jack yelled. Everyone on the balcony rushed back into the castle. "EVERYONE GET DOWN!!!!!!" Elsa yelled and people then ran into their houses. It then started to suck everything into it. Like a black hole. Elsa ran into the castle but before she could get inside she felt herself being pulled by the force of this black hole. "Jack!!!!" She yelled and Jack grabbed her. Not daring to let her go. "Don't let go!" He yelled back to her. Anna then joined Jack to pull her back. And then Punzie and Eugene. And the rest of everyone that was on the balcony.
They then managed to pull her into the walls of the castle. They all landed with a big thud on the ground.
BANG!!!!!
They heard the loud bang go off and they covered their heads with their arms. The force of the bang was so strong that it blew the doors wide open and blew in a bunch of black sand into the hall of the castle.
They all found the courage to look at the damage that must have been taken by this explosion. Nothing was damaged. Nothing broke. No paintings wripped, no pots shattered. Everything was fine. Just black sand all over the walls and floor. They all got up and moved towards the balcony still had weapons ready incase if maybe he was still there.
But he wasn't. The whole kingdom was covered in black sand. Boats, houses, gardens, the ocean.
"How are we going to clean all of this up?" Punzie asked. "It's going to take months!" She said. But Elsa didn't mind. She waved her hands in front of her and all of the black sand floated up into the sky.
All of the people opened up their windows and doors and smiled greatly. The black sand floated into the air and turned into the shape of a huge snowflake. As soon as Elsa parted her hands all of the sand blew away. Not to be seen again.
The clouds then parted away showing the moon and the daylight dancing around the sky. They all couldn't help but smile with glee.
"I knew you could do it." Anna said. Elsa laughed.
"We did it." Elsa said.
There were then crowds of people running to the castle cheering and shouting with joy. Clapping and smiling.
Elsa and the rest of everyone all came down to see all of the cheering people of Arendelle and Corona. There was then a flash of light that shone down behind the crowd. When the light parted the guardians looked shocked. It was Mani. Man in the Moon himself. All of the kingdom looked frightened. "Don't be afraid. He's a friend of mine." Elsa said and everyone calmed down.
"Elsa. You have no idea how proud I am of you. I want to reward you by becoming the Queen of Light. Will you?" He asked.
Elsa looked shocked and turned around to look at the others. They all motioned her to go. So the people of Arendelle parted for her making a pathway for her to go to Mani. She walked right up to Mani. She kneeled down and looked up him. "People of Arendelle and Corona! I will present to you a new Queen. Not just the Snow Queen. But Queen of Light and Hope." He said. He then had his hands glowing. And right in them he had a beautiful crown. Diamonds that were as white as snow and a bigger diamond in the shape of a rose. He placed the crown I top of Elsa's head.
"May I present, Queen Elsa! The Queen of Light and Snow!" The crowd erupted with cheers of joy for Elsa. Elsa started to cry because of how happy she was. All of her people loved her! They loved her. No more doubting her. No more not trusting her. The trusted and loved her! She then had an idea.
She then stepped her foot on the ground and the courtyard became an ice skating rank. Everyone sounded pleased and started skating around freely and happily.
Jack then came next to her and nudged her arm. She looked up at him and smiled. "You did it Elsa!" He said. She smiled at him. "We did it." And she kissed him. Her arms around his neck. And his around her waist. He pulled her closer and the kiss became more and more passionate.
"Eh emm."
They stopped kissing and looked at who wanted to speak to them. It was North snickering. Elsa felt her cheeks heat up with embarrassment .
"Welp, I think I know what the perfect Christmas present is for you both." He said excitedly.
They both looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.
North walked up and held both of their hands. He closed them and looked at both of them.
"Each other." He smiled and walked back to Bunny. Jack and Elsa smiled at each other. Jack then waved his staff and made it snow and made a big snowbank. He filled the whole courtyard with a thick blanket of snow. Jack then threw a snowball at Bunny and he fell over laughing. Then Anna threw one at Punzie. And Kristoff to Sven. Eugene to North. And soon the whole kingdom was in a huge snowball fight.
Elsa stood by smiling and laughing. She then felt something cold his her side and she fell over with a loud thud. She got up to see who it was and saw it was Jack. "Oops. Sorry." He laughed. She then made one and threw it at his square in the face and he fell over. This was the funniest thing she had ever seen. She laughed so hard her stomach hurt. But she couldn't stop. Then Anna threw one behind her back. Elsa then made a huge snowball and chased after her.
Now they were all truly in peace. No fear. No sadness. Just joy and fun. Darkness is destroyed. Darkness is gone.
Darkness is no more.
