Yo! For the prompt request, seeing that Elsa has a buddy like Nokk the water spirit, how about Anna finding an old childhood friend which is a dragon in the Enchanted Forest?
(an… old childhood friend? XD did i miss something in frozen? lol)
"That's a… A… A…" Blabbered Elsa, eyes wide, struggling as she gulped. "A…"
"A dragon, yes." Said Anna in a flat voice.
Elsa's pointing finger fell in disbelief, her wrist hanging.
"For someone who lives in an Enchanted Forest, I expected you to find your vocabulary way easier."
Elsa's shoulders had slumped, but now she suddenly raised her arms.
"But that's a DRAGON, Anna! A dragon!"
Both the creature and Anna winced at her sharp scream.
"Well spotted." Chuckled the redhead.
"How- When- WHERE did you even find a dragon in the forest, Anna?!"
The Queen shrugged. "A bit more West."
Elsa's eyes now were two huge balls or utter panic and incomprehension. "There's NO dragons in the forest. Like, nowhere."
"Seems like I have better eyes than you." She said, proud, her hands on her hips.
Elsa had never been closer to a facepalm in the entire year. "I can sense all magical creatures, Anna. This dragon isn't from there, I would have noticed it."
Anna now pouted. "Well, you didn't, because I found it, and–" She then interrupted herself, and clapped her hands together. "Ooooooh, wait! I know!"
She turned her head up to the dragon's face. "Hey, Amber, can you do your trick?"
The dragon seemed to understand, and before Elsa even reacted to the name Anna apparently had given them, the latter's scales vibrated in the day light and slowly turned transparent. In a few seconds, the whole dragon disappeared, and the Northuldra, who were present and had assisted to the scene since the dragon landed in the meadow with Anna on her back, all gasped in surprise.
It wasn't all: Elsa abruptly couldn't sense it anymore. The magic it emanated had vanished. It was like it was gone, and yet the grass bending was clearly indicating the presence of the giant animal.
"So that's how." She muttered in an exhale.
The blonde blinked and suddenly shook her head. Now wasn't the time to admire magic. Now was the time to scold her younger sister for ADOPTING A DRAGON.
"Anna… You named it?"
The Queen smiled with a nod, and the dragon's scales reappeared with the same vibration. She petted their belly - which was so high that she had to stretch all her arm vertically - and giggled.
"Yes. Amber. It's a play on words, because of 'ember'. You got it? Because she's a girl."
Elsa blinked in confusion for probably the thirtieth time. "It's a she?"
Checking the dragon's genitals really was the last thing she wanted to do, so she believed her sister right away.
"Yes, and she loves belly scratches. Don't you, pretty girl?" Said Anna with a baby voice and a kiss pout.
The dragon groaned in a way that sounded like a purr.
"I'm dreaming. Tell me I'm dreaming." Whispered Elsa.
"You're not dreaming." Said Honeymaren and Ryder on the same voice, standing on each side of her. Their jaws hadn't come up since the dragon did her invisibility trick.
The Snow Queen stepped closer. "I know what you're going to ask. If you can keep her. And Anna, I regret to tell you that, but it's out of question."
"And I knew you were going to say that. Breaking news: I'm the Queen. I do what I want. I now officially declare that it's legal to adopt dragons."
"Oh, you want to play that game?" Frowned Elsa. "You're in Northuldra territory. And that dragon obviously lives here. It's up to the Northuldra people to decide if you take it or not."
"Well, as I'm half-Northuldra…" Started Anna, standing stiff.
"It's also up to the dragon herself. I doubt that she wants to go down Arendelle with the city life. If she were able to talk, she would tell you she's not interested."
Elsa had her hands on her hips, sarcasm overflowing, convinced she had won.
"Oh, but I can talk."
Everyone jumped and turned their eyes up at the deep and hollow voice that had just resonated. The dragon looked down at Elsa with intense orange eyes and attentive pupils.
The Snow Queen startled so much she almost fell back. The Northuldra gasped in unison. Two Northuldra instantly fainted. Northuldra children screamed in joy. One Northuldra ran to launch himself in Yelana's arms and she pushed them away with her staff.
Elsa's widened eyes were fixed to the dragon's smiling ones. "Y…" She murmured, sound barely escaping her throat.
"You can TALK?"
And to everyone's surprise, she added:
"AND YOU DIDN'T INTERVENE BEFORE?!"
Anna and the dragon stared at her. Was she being bossy? Towards a giant dragon she had just met?
"Well, I like to listen to humans and spirits. I preferred to let you two finish before saying anything. The Water Spirit told me you were a very stubborn one."
Elsa's jaw first dropped, and then she vividly twirled to Nokk who was standing nearby, and they immediately retracted at her gaze.
"You knew?"
"It's kinda obvious that she can talk." Said Anna, reminding her of her presence. "How do you think we came up with the name Amber? She fully agreed on it. Just like she's okay to come live in Arendelle."
Elsa stood still, and everyone turned to her. A long silence passed.
"I… I need to sit down for a moment."
As she walked to the Northuldra camp, she passed by Nokk. "You and I are going to have a little discussion after that."
A lump of water went down Nokk's neck, and it had nothing to do with the fact it was made out of water.
Gale twirled above them with a giggling sound of bells.
