MINDBREAK?, VIOLENCE, DEATH, RYONA, YURI

Chapter Summery: Anna continues her search for Juleka and any other fairies, but maybe she should've heeded Isabelle's warning, and left dangerous things alone...

Disclaimer: I don't own Elsa, Anna or any other Disney characters that appear or are mentioned in this work of fiction, Disney does.

WARNING!: This chapter is not like the ones before, it has rather graphic depictions of violence and death. In particular, Elsa being attacked and assaulted by a traumatized/crazed Anna. If you don't want to read about Anna attacking Elsa with killing intent, don't worry, an alternate version of this chapter will be released a day after this one where the scenario plays out differently, and more comedic and the remainder of the story plays out differently, but ultimately, both chapters have very similar endings. So you can think of it like 'Beginning, middle and end', the beginning and end are the same, it's just what happens in the middle is different. But this particular chapter will be the 'canon' one of the two in regards to future chapters. So I hope whichever version of this chapter you chose to read, I hope you like it.


- Two days later -

- Half-way to the North Mountain, 2:23 P.M. -

With her second search for Juleka ending in failure the previous day, even after journeying deeper into the forest; For today's third attempt, Anna decided to ride her horse; allowing her to go a much farther distance in the time it would take on foot. Plus, Anna figured it would be good for Kjekk to stretch his legs, and run through the forest.

However, while Anna enjoyed the wind rushing past her, and Kjekk clearly enjoyed the freedom to run, Anna decided to allow him the freedom of going where he wanted, even briefly diverging from the natural pathway, though Kjekk eventually found his way back to the 'road'. The important thing though, they were well away from the castle, and the town. If this trip turned out to be another failure, Anna settled on giving up on going much further alone, there were other real threats in the forest, like wolves.

"This should be far enough." commented Anna as she pulled on the reigns to signal Kjekk to stop as she looked around; hearing birds singing, and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Dismounting from her four-legged friend, Anna briefly caressed his neck, before opening her satchel, revealing a few carrots, and pulled out one, which Kjekk quickly took from her hand with his mouth.

"Heh, stay here." stated Anna, rubbing Kjekk's head. "It'll take me forever to get back without you." she added, before removing her satchel and placing it down in front of Kjekk, allowing him to help himself to the few additional carrots, before taking one herself. "You'll get this last one if you don't abandon me." she added with a smile, before removing her shoes, allowing her magic to extend out around her as her bare feet met the ground, she then walked off ahead of her horse.

- Ten minutes later -

"Ugh, even this far out; Nothing!" groaned Anna with a slump of her shoulders.

With her magical senses, Anna saw more of the same as she did the last two searches, small animals and birds, a couple four-legged ones, including Kjekk, but no fairies; not a single hint of one. But Anna also didn't announce herself, and her intentions; wary that she could invite trouble if a fairy that wasn't Juleka heard her. However, being silent was getting her nowhere. Anna knew not to blindly trust a fairy, she'd been warned, but she could handle herself, and if it came to it, she had her magic. She wasn't the typical human clueless to the danger a fairy posed; How dangerous could a fairy be anyway?

"Helloooo?" called out Anna, looking up at the trees. "Any fairies around here? I'd really like to meet you!"

Anna nervously waited a few moments, a little concerned that she may have just rang a dinner bell. There was still nothing, however, nothing visual, no unusual sounds, and nothing with her magic.

"I'm a nice human; I don't want to hurt you. I like fairies. A friend of mine mentioned she met a fairy when she was a kid, and you might live here..." spoke out Anna, looking around for a moment, before asking, "Juleka?"

This time, however, the name appeared to be the magic word. Anna heard an unusual hum, then her magic saw it! A humanoid figure lands on the branch of a tree behind her. With her magic, Anna could see the silhouette of the figure, a slender female with two pair of wide wings, like butterfly wings. Additionally however, the fairy seemed to be holding something, a bow... targeting her.

In Anna's excitement, she quickly turned around, and looked directly at where the fairy was positioned thanks to her magic, and Anna's heart raced in fear as, while she couldn't visually see the fairy, thanks to her magic, she did see the fairy suddenly crouch, and pull back the string of her bow and thanks to Anna's magic, sensed the fairies quickened heart beat.

'Crap, I scared her by looking right at where she is!' thought Anna. 'I need to take this slow... What would Elsa do?'

However, before Anna could think of an appropriate method to handle this first contact, the fairy spoke...

"Leave human!"

Despite the aggressive tone, Anna was all smiles.

"I'm not a threat! I just want to talk!"

"Well I don't! Leave, NOW! We have no need for you Humans!"

"We? So there are more of you! Do you know a fairy called Juleka?" asked Anna, before she sensed the fairy's heart race, and Anna took it as either she did or this fairy was Juleka; her heart hardened by what Isabelle's mother did to her.

"This is you're final warning human! LEAVE, and don't come here again!"

"Wait, please! I'm a friend. I just want to-" replied Anna, before she sensed the fairy loose her arrow, and Anna gasped from a painful sting in her neck. "Ow!" gasped Anna, reflexively lifting her right hand up felt something thin protruding from her neck, and pulled it out with a wince. Anna saw that it was a small arrow, three to four inches in length, an inch of red marked the depth it penetrated her skin, however, Anna already started feeling funny; dizzy. "Poison?" questioned Anna, before lifting her left hand up to her head and staggering back a few steps as she started to feel unsteady on her feet.

"Yep." stated the Fairy, and Anna saw that she was now sitting, watching her, but Anna also noticed her magical view of the fairy started to fade, the poison was hindering her magic. "But don't worry, it won't kill you. Since you insist on being a bother, and not leaving well enough alone, you're going to put on a show for me as you live out your worst nightmare." added the fairy with clear amusement while Anna fell to her hands and knees, the world seemed to be spinning. "THEN I'll kill you... stupid human."

'I have to stay awake...' thought Anna, feeling her strength seemingly being drained out of her. 'If this is poison, I should be able to use my magic to purge it.' added Anna, before her right hand flickered red with her magic, she couldn't focus, however she did hear the fairy comment curiously...

"Magic?"

Before Anna's strength left her, and she passes out on the ground.

- The Previous Day, Elsa's Room -

- 6:46 P.M. -

"Ugh!" groaned Anna as she fell face first into the bed, drawing Elsa's curiosity at her desk.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm zero for two, looking for fairies!" complained Anna.

"Hehehe! What!?" laughed Elsa. "You're looking for fairies? That's what you've been in the forest for all that time today? Fairies aren't real Anna."

"Yea they are! Izzy said so! She's even met one!"

"Really?" asked Anna.

"Yeah, it was when she was a kid, and arrived here in Arendelle. But Izzy's mom attacked the fairy, and Izzy hasn't seen her since. She figured she might live somewhere in the forests here."

"Really? So you just blindly search the forest, alone, for this one fairy, who may not even be there?"

"But what if she IS there!? All alone? Plus, I'd LOVE to meet a fairy!"

"Heh, well good luck, and be careful, be sure to introduce me if you find one." replied Elsa, before she heard Anna groan, however, Elsa heard a 'No' from her magic, which prompted her to create a snowflake.

'You need to stop her from looking for fairies, they're bad news.'

'So they really exist?' thought Elsa, wide-eyed.

'Yes, and they are not the happy-go-lucky fantasy creatures you think of, they can be unpredictably cruel. They'll lead someone to their death just because it amusing them. Even if one is nice to you, they can switch up and hurt you for no apparent reason and just laugh at you. They're dangerous tricksters you never want to encounter alone.'

"Anna..." commented Elsa. "I don't think you should be pursuing this."

"Let me guess, Sanna told you about how awful fairies are, right?"

"Yeah."

"The fairy Izzy met wasn't like that though. Izzy said she separated from her village because she didn't like hurting humans. I don't want her living in fear of humans."

"That's admirable Anna, but it's too risky. What if you meet a fairy that isn't the one you're looking for, you could be in danger."

"I know not to blindly trust a fairy, don't worry. If it comes to it, I have my magic to defend myself.

'Anna being aware of the true nature of fairies is great, but still, it's too dangerous.'

"I don't want you taking unnecessary risks just because you have magic Anna." warned Elsa.

"I'm not, I'd be searching even if I didn't have magic." replied Anna.

"Heh, well you have a point there." replied Elsa with a chuckle, before she sighed. "Just be careful. I don't want you scaring me by having to come to your rescue, but make sure you keep your ring on, just in case."

"I will."

- Meanwhile, presently in Arendelle Castle -

- Council Chambers -

Currently listening attentively to a male dignitary; proposing possible trade with the Southern Isles, Elsa's attention was suddenly shifted away as a sickening sensation came over her as she felt her magic warn her of Anna being in grave danger. Seeing a mental image of Anna collapsing prompted Elsa to bolt upright into standing, alerting the others to the sudden act as the concern and dread was plain as day on Elsa's face as a chilly mist billowed out below her.

"Your Majesty? Is something wrong?"

"I-I... F-Forgive me, something urgent has come to my attention!" replied Elsa, before she sprinted out of the room, and out of the castle; quickly conjuring a horse and mounting it. Elsa speeds off towards the forest, and the beacon of Anna's ring.

'What is she doing so far away!?' thought Elsa as tears roll down her face. "Please let me get there in time!"

- ? -

Coming to, Anna groaned; a dull throbbing in her head. Lifting herself up on her hands and knees, Anna's opened her eyes to a shock; she was on ice!

Lifting her head and looking around, Anna saw nothing but ice around her, it was a frozen lake of infinite size.

"What the..." commented Anna, getting to her feet; rather easily, her bare feet wasn't cold; she wasn't cold; her feet felt like they were on dirt.

"I met that fairy... she shot me with a poison arrow. I pass out, and wake up on a frozen lake..." stated Anna, before she gasped in fear. "She said I'd live out my worst nightmare! This is the fjord! No! No! No! This is bad!" adding Anna in a panic, before she started slapping her cheeks, "This is a dream! I have to wake up before it starts!"

With the slaps to her cheeks not working, only making her face sting with pain; A telling sign that this was somehow real, Anna began aimlessly walking around in a quick, impatient pace.

"Fairy! I'm sorry!" called out Anna. "You just wanted to be left alone, I realize that now! I can be pretty stubborn, I'm sorry. I'll leave and won't come back, I promi-" stated Anna, before she gasped as she walked into something big and hard, knocking her to her butt, and lifting her left hand up to her forehead.

"Ow! What was that?" answered Anna, seeing nothing in front of her that she could've walked into, before she stood and reached out her right hand, and gasped a little as she encountered an invisible thing.

Reaching out her left hand as well, the thing felt very rough and was round and tall, very tall; she couldn't reach the top of it.

"A tree?" questioned Anna. "This is a tree." added Anna, before she, using her hands as a guide, circled the invisible tree. "Then this isn't a dream, it's a hallucination... a powerful one. I'm actually still in the forest; the poison is just forcing me to see-" replied Anna, before she heard it, the familiar sound of a sword being pulled from it's sheath behind her, and Anna closed her eyes.

"It's not real, it's not real, it not real..." chanted Anna, as her heart raced in panic and fear, continuing to touch the tree for validation.

Then, Anna heard the swoosh of the blade behind her; which was stopped with a telling thunk, and the sound of a body limply falling over.

"NO!" Declared Anna, falling to her knees, and moving her hands from the tree and over her ears as she felt tears trailing down her face. "This isn't real! This isn't real! THIS ISN'T REAL!" screamed Anna.

There was another sword being drawn; this time, to her right; it sounded right next to her.

"Please stop! I won't come back here again, I promise! Just don't do this!"

The fairy didn't answer, though, was she really just watching this from her tree, watching her suffer?

Another swoosh of the blade, this time, instead of a disturbing thunk, she heard the soft sound of it slicing through something; then the sound of something hitting the ground and rolling around beside her, before a heavier thud hit the ground.

Being so close, Anna opened her eyes and looked, and untold dread filled her as her eyes widened in shock. She only saw a glimpse of it before the scene faded; but it was forgettable. The image burned into her mind; it would haunt her for the rest of her life. Elsa looking blankly at her from the ice; mere feet from her, while her body limp on the floor, spewing blood onto the ice.

"E-Elsa!" desperately called out Anna in barely a whisper.

An image, then appeared in front of her, Elsa standing facing her, prompting Anna to stand with a smile that she was in one piece. Ships frozen in ice now began to appear, the empty fjord no longer empty. However, Anna then saw Elsa gasp as a sword pierced through her from behind, and out of her chest; prompting Elsa to look down at the impalement with shock, and lift her shaking hands up towards the bloody blade.

"NOOO!" gasped Anna with despair, before the sword was pulled back, and Elsa limply fell; though Anna quickly stepped forward to catch Elsa, but she simply passes through her arms to the ice; dead, before Anna dropped to her knees in front of her fallen sister as the tears fall.

"Please! Stop this! No more! Please!"

Moments later, there was another sword drawn, to her right.

"Please! I'm begging you!" cries Anna, closing her eyes and covering her ears; but then, she heard Elsa's voice call to her.

"Anna, help!"

Instinctively lifting her head to Elsa's plea; Anna saw Elsa running towards her, with her left hand reaching out to her; she wasn't moving, but so what, Elsa needed her! Rushing to her feet and sprinting towards Elsa, Anna reached out her right hand to Elsa. Anna only managed a single step, before Anna saw Elsa's head separated from her body.

"NOOO!" screamed Anna, before she saw Hans appear behind the falling Queen's body, grinning smugly at her, with the blood of Elsa still on his sword.

"Looks like you were too slow. Care to try again?"

"Don't do this! Please don't do this!" begged Anna.

Hans dissipated with the fallen queen and the familiar scene of Elsa laying on the ground with Hans looming over her from behind with his sword raised appeared some distance ahead of her, it was the same scene!

"No! Please no!" begged Anna as she sprinted towards her sister, as the castle and their home now appeared, the infinite space no longer endless. "Elsa!"

Within moments of the two, Anna saw Hans swing the blade, and cut deep into Elsa's neck, dropping Anna to her hands and knees with despair.

"Ohh, too slow again." mocked Hans. "You gotta be faster than that. Again."

Her vision blurry with tears, Anna saw her tears fall to the ground as she heard the sound of Elsa being murdered again, then again, and again, over and over; calling to her, begging for her help. But it was pointless; this was her nightmare. she couldn't stop it; no matter how fast she was. Elsa would always die in front of her, and Hans mocked her for her failure. Each death taking another piece of her, until there was nothing. The tears stopped flowing from her now dull eyes; the dread and sadness gone as a numbness takes over, and Anna's magic rising within her; black flames enveloping her hands.

"I'll kill you." stated Anna with an eerily calm tone.


Meanwhile, the mysterious fairy, perched in her tree; delightfully watched the sight of Anna losing her mind, now on the ground; drowning in her despair. However, seeing the black flames around her hands, and feeling the heat, now felt concern.

"Uh-oh, this is bad... I think I broke her."


"Shouldn't you be worrying about your sister?" teased Hans' voice. "Or do you not care about her anymore?"

The black flames, then immediately turned white as unhindered rage filled the numbness and Anna lifted her gaze in fury, seeing another scene appear in front of her.

"I'LL KILL YOU HANS!" screamed Anna, before she launched a ball of fire at Hans, vanishing the scene as it went through him.

"Temper, temper, your majesty."

"Show yourself coward!"


"Oh no, no, no, no!" gasped the fairy as she saw Anna launch a ball of fire at a tree, lighting it ablaze fully in an instant and quickly spreading to another tree. "I've really messed up! I never would've poisoned her if I knew she had magic! Now she's too deep into the nightmare! I can't get close enough to neutralize it!" She added, before she saw Anna release a wave of fire around her with a wide swing of her right arm, igniting a large amount of trees around her.

"Hey! Human! Stop! You're setting things on fire!" declared the fairy, before she gasped as she saw Anna look blindly in her direction with rage in her eyes, and launch a fireball at her. "Crap!"


With her magical steed, Elsa traveled through the forest with speed no natural horse could, quickly narrowing the gap between her and Anna. Elsa soon meets the first visual sign of Anna's presence; Kjekk, her horse, trotting towards her. Elsa didn't slow down though, and continued forward; before she heard Anna's rage-filled screams of her intent to kill something or someone.

"Well she's alive." commented Elsa, with some relief, but now concerned about why Anna was so mad, before she received a shock, an intense heat and smoke, along with seeing a wall of fire in the distance and loud explosions.

"ANNA!" called out Elsa, before she was forced to stop as she reached the wall of fire as seemingly every tree in the area was ablaze, but heard Anna ahead screaming for someone to show themselves, and that she'll kill them. Using her magic to put out the fire, Elsa rode ahead as she continually iced all the flames. Elsa soon reached the center of the flames, seeing Anna launching fireball after fireball around her, currently facing away.

Elsa immediately released a wave of magic, putting out all the fires around them.

"Anna, stop!" declared Elsa, before she felt fear as Anna turned her rage-filled glare to her, breathing heavily, flickers of flames leaving her mouth. It was like Anna didn't even recognize her, looking at her with such hate in her eyes. "A-Anna?"

Elsa then gasped as Anna uttered 'DIE!' before she lunged a large, white fireball at her, vaporizing the horse and retaining more than enough energy to hit, and launch Elsa through the air with a scream from her, and land a few yards away, face down on the ground.


Seeing Hans launched from his strangely invisible horse and land on the ice, Anna paused briefly; he didn't disappear, and he was actually hit, which prompted Anna to smile.

"Finally! One of you I can actually hit!" stated Anna. Before she ran towards the fallen Hans, and slowed to a walk once she was within a few yards. "This nightmare has finally given me something good." stated Anna, as she saw Hans groan, and lift himself up, and shakily up to his feet, with his right hand grabbing his side.

"W-What?" questioned Hans, lifting his gaze to her. "Nightmare? What's going on?"

"Killing you is what's going on!" Replied Anna as she prepped another fireball in her right hand.

"Anna, it's me! Elsa!" stated Hans, reaching out his left hand with a smile.

"Don't you DARE!" declared Anna angrily, before she launched a stream of fire at the meaningless gesture, enveloping Hans' hand; followed by a scream of pain from him as he staggered back, and looked down at his burned hand, black smoke billowing from it.

"My hand! You burned my hand!" declared Hans', grabbing his left wrist with her right hand, and letting out a pathetic whimper.

"A burned hand is the least of your worries!" replied Anna. "I can actually hit you, hurt you; so I'm going to have fun torturing you to death!" she added, before she walked up to Hans, and quickly gave him a right hook, staggering him to the side and down to one knee.

"Anna please, you have to snap out of it!" stated Hans, lifting his uninjured hand up to rub the side of his face. "Whatever your seeing, it isn't real. I'm Elsa, your sister!"

"I've had enough of your lies Hans!" declared Anna, before she attempted another hook, but Hans leaned back to avoid it, and returned to his feet. He soon winced and held his left wrist again, and shook his head, as if trying to avoid passing out from the pain.

"Please Anna, don't do this."

"Hah, begging already!? I only burned your hand and punched you. I knew you were pathetic! You're not even worth torturing." replied Anna, "I'll just kill you now." she added, before she launched a fireball at Hans and propelled him away with a pained gasp, before she saw him hit an invisible wall, and fall to the ground with a pained groan. "Still alive? Well aren't you resistant." commented Anna, walking towards the fallen and injured man. "Let's see how resistant you are to being burned alive!" declared Anna with delight as she thrust both hands down at the beaten man, and fire spews forth from her hands. "Scream! Scream like the pathetic man you are!" declared Anna.

However, Anna heard no screams to delight her, and halted her assault to see nothing in front of her, he had disappeared again!

"No! Where are you!?" screamed Anna, before she walked forward, but was surprised when she walked into something, extending her hands, it felt flat and cold, which prompted a smile from Anna. "Only cowards hide." stated Anna, before she proceeded to attack the wall with fireballs and streams of fire.


After being launched into the tree, Elsa hurt all over; specifically her back and the back of her head, leaving her in a brief daze; but in particular her badly burned left hand; bloody and red with skin peeling off. Elsa tried using her magic to sooth the pain with a cold aura around her hand, but the cold only made the pain worse. Seeing Anna walking towards her, Elsa was scared. Anna somehow saw her as Hans, and was intent to murder him, or rather, her.

'What happened to you Anna?' thought Elsa, before she saw Anna thrust her hands down at her, intent to end her life; before a sudden barrier of ice appeared between them, and to the sides around Elsa, allowing Anna's fire to pass harmlessly by her.

'What are you doing!?' declared her magic. 'Defend yourself!'

'I don't want to hurt her.' thought Elsa.

'I'm not saying to hurt her, but stop her from hurting YOU!'

'I can't, I won't raise my magic towards Anna.'

The barrier then audibly cracks during Anna's repeat assault.

'No, no, no, no! Don't say that! If you chose not to defend yourself, I can't protect you! She'll kill you!'

'Then how do I get Anna back to normal?'

'At the moment, I... don't know. She's under the effects of some sort of powerful illusion magic; Fairy Magic I'd guess, given she was searching for fairies. Anna said she's in a nightmare... so it must be nightmare magic, I know of it; really dangerous stuff. The more one interacts with the nightmare, the more it affects you, twisting your nightmare into something else, and Anna is very deep into it.'

'Can she return to normal?' asked Elsa, before the wall cracks more.

'Y-Yes! Without the fairy that caused this though, the only way for Anna to return to normal is if she realizes an inconsistency in her nightmare strong enough to make her think about it. But she's too far in, there's no way she'll realize one in her rage.' replied her magic, before the wall shatters, revealing Anna grinning down at her.

"Hello there, coward." greeted Anna with a smirk.

'MASTER!'

'Wait, she see's me as Hans, then the inconsistency is obvious.' thought Elsa. 'I know how to fix this!'


Seeing Hans return to his feet with a groan, Anna smiled.

"Good, on your feet. I don't want to kill you on the floor. I'm not a coward like you!"

"Will you grant me a final request, Your Majesty?" asked Hans.

"Oh, being polite now, huh?" asked Anna with a scowl, stepping closer to the man, entering his personal space, looking him in the eyes. "You're fucking pathetic!"

However, Anna was suddenly surprised when Hans grabbed her left hand and placed it to his chest.

"Hey, don't you touch me, you fucking-" declared Anna, lifting her right hand up with a fireball, and seeing Hans close his eyes, and turn his head away in fear.

However, before Anna could act and end his life for touching her, she saw and felt something very odd, her left hand going through Hans' uniform, secondly, her hand grasped something soft, cool, and... familiar...

Anna saw Hans then open his eyes to look at her, which prompted a wave of panic to shoot through her, and snatch her hand away.

"What kind of trick is this!?"

"It's not a trick Anna." stated Hans. "I'm Elsa, not Hans."

"You're lying! You're not Elsa!" declared Anna.

"But I'm real." Stated Hans. "You said it yourself, the nightmare gave you a real Hans? Think about it for a moment; you can touch me, you can hurt me, you couldn't with the others; why am I different?"

Anna was frozen; Hans was right; all the other Hans she attacked simply faded, but this one didn't, it was real... she could touch this one, hurt it... but if this 'hans' was real, then...

"No-no-no-no!" declared Anna, placing her hands on her head. "If you're really Elsa, then... no-no-no-no-no..."

"Anna, it's ok." replied Hans.

"No... NO!" stated Anna angrily and returning her glare to Hans. "You're lying! I wouldn't hurt Elsa! This is just another sick trick! I wouldn't burn..." she added, before lowering her gaze down to the Hans' reddened burned hand, now shaking in pain.

"It's ok Anna." stated Hans with a smile. "You're under the effects of fairy magic. This isn't you, I forgive you."

"No..." replied Anna pleadingly, as the tears now rolled down her face. "This has to be a lie." she added, before shakily lifting her right hand up, towards Hans' face. "Taunt me, taunt me like you were doing before!" demanded Anna angrily.

"I was never taunting you Anna." stated Hans, before he slowly lifted his right hand up to Anna's.

Anna gasped a little with part of Hans hand entered her's before she felt a smaller hand touch her's, it was not a man's hand and Anna reactively pulled back; gasping as if she was about to burst into a crying fit. Anna though quickly reached her hands out to Hans' face, seeing her hands disappearing into his to encounter another face, and after briefly moving her hands around, a familiar face.

"No, no, no..." cries Anna, lifting her hand up to 'Hans'' hair, feeling much more hair than she could see, and soon felt the familiar braid, and Anna gasped and quickly backed away, tears streaming down her face.

"E-Elsa!?"

"Yes, it's me." stated Elsa, though still in the image of Hans, prompting Anna to drop to her knees, and give a sorrowful wail. "It's ok Anna, I'm here now, you're ok." added Hans' walking in front of Anna and kneeling, resting the wrist of his burned hand on his leg.

"It's not ok! I hurt you! I was trying to kill you!"

"But you didn't."

Anna saw the lie of Han's right hand reach towards her and rest on her shoulder, but Anna's focus was on on Elsa's burned hand.

"I can fix this!" quickly replied Anna, reaching her hands towards 'Han's' injured hand, but 'Hans'' grabbed her left hand.

"Wait, do you still see me as Hans?"

"Yeah-"

"Then heal yourself first, can you do that?"

"You first!" declared Anna with a frown. "You could get an infection! Your hand would probably have to be cut off! You could die!"

'Hans' smiled at Anna's panicked worse-case scenarios.

"Ok, Ok, priorities..."

Moving her hands over 'Hans'' injured hand, Anna's hands glow red with her magic, along with the injured hand. 'Hans'' winced a little as the two saw the burns healing, taking a few moments before the hand was back to normal; a normal female hand. Lifting her gaze up, Anna gasped with a smile as she saw Elsa, before the frozen fjord around her disappearing, replaced by the forest, covered in frost.

"The poison has worn off! I see you, and the trees! Why'd you freeze everything?"

"Everything was covered in fire."

"W-What!?" gasped Anna, before she recalled throwing fireballs everywhere. "I-I burned the forest!? Where's Kjekk!? Did you see him!? Is he alive!?"

"Kjekk's fine, I saw him running away when I was coming." replied Elsa, with a smile when she saw the relief wash over Anna, before Elsa winced and lifted her healed left hand up to her jaw. "Nice punch by the way. Remind me never to get into a fist-fight with you."

"Sorry!" gasped Anna, quickly lifting her right hand up to the side of Elsa's face, and using her magic to heal the injury there; Anna then fixed the damage to the area around them; digging her fingers into the ground, and used her magic to rejuvenate the ground and trees.

With the repairs finished, Anna let out a yawn.

"Let's get you home to rest." stated Elsa, before she stood and helped Anna to her feet.

"Ok. No more fairy searching for me; lesson very much learned. Someone doesn't want to be bothered, and tells me to leave, so I'll leave."

However, before the two could even start to leave...

"Hey, human's." came a familiar voice in the trees.

"We're leaving already!" answered Anna with a frown. "I'm leaving you in peace!"

"No, no, wait!"

The two then heard a hum, and a small humanoid figure flies down, and hover beside them; to Anna's left and Elsa's right. The fairy was obviously female, considering they were nude, and had short, brown hair and wore her bow and a quiver."

"Hey, back off!" declared Anna raising her fists defensively.

Elsa, on the other hand, looked at the winged person with curious interest. She looked just like a normal person; just small, and had wings; large beautiful wings like a butterfly; but they lacked the detailed design butterfly's had; from what Elsa's could tell from their rapid movement anyway. Rather, the fairy's wings were white, or clear. The fairy's body was slender and youthful; small breasts and bare crotch. Going by human standards; Elsa guessed the fairy to be a young adult, perhaps in the twenty year old range?

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" stated the fairy, backing away a little with her arms outstretched towards Anna, before she hurriedly removed her bow and quiver, and dropped it to the ground. "I owe you an apology! I am deeply sorry for what I did to you. Uh... your... majesties?" questioned the fairy nervously. "You're the Queen and Princess right?"

"Yes, we are." replied Elsa calmly. "I'm Elsa, Queen Of Arendelle." she greeted, before Anna simply scowled at the fairy.

"I'm 'Your Majesty' to you, 'fairy'."

"I... deserve that." replied the fairy sadly. "My name is Vivian." she added, before she lowered herself to the ground, and gave a deep bow to them, placing her head to the ground. Though it did give Elsa the opportunity to see the fairy's wings unhindered by movement; They were in fact butterfly-like in shape and lacked a detailed design, and were white in color. "I have a request for the Princess." stated the fairy.

"A request!?" Gasped Anna with a scowl. "After what you put me through!? I nearly killed my sister thanks to you! You can go fuck yourself!" declared Anna angrily, before Elsa gasped at Anna's language, followed by Anna rapidly walking away. "Let's go Elsa! Human's aren't welcome here!"

"Anna wait." replied Elsa, quickly walking to Anna and placing a hand to her shoulder.

"Wait, please!" called Vivian, before the fairy quickly flew in front of Anna. "I could really use your help!" she added, before Anna simply swatted her away with the back of her right hand; rather harmlessly, and continued walking. "You were looking for Juleka, I know her!"

At this, Anna stopped, that particular fairy was the reason she was out here, but she clearly wasn't as alone as Anna thought.

"She doesn't matter to me anymore." Stated Anna, as she continued walking.

"Please! She matters to me! Juleka's sick! You can heal her!"

Anna stopped again, a sick fairy; a sick, nice, innocent fairy; she was compelled to help; she wanted to help, but what if it was a sick joke?

"Please!" begged Vivian, as Anna saw her return in front of her and look at her pleadingly. "I'm begging you, she's really sick. I've tried making medicine, but it's not working. That's why I was so aggressive towards you earlier; Juleka doesn't need the stress of human's around, but you have magic, HEALING magic, you could cure her!"

"Come on Anna." replied Elsa, placing a hand to her shoulder. "You like helping people. And Juleka is the reason for your search, right? Don't let this fairy's actions prevent you from helping another; unrelated to what you experienced."

"Fine..." muttered Anna, before she looked to Vivian, who gave a big smile. "But I'm doing this for Juleka, NOT you! I don't like you."

"Understood, your Majesty!" replied Vivian happily, "Follow me!" she added, before flying pass and behind Anna.

"No." replied Anna, turning around. "Bring Juleka here. I don't trust you; I'm not following you anywhere."

"But, Juleka's not well enough to fly." replied Vivian worriedly.

"I don't care. I've revived a dead bird before, a dead fairy shouldn't be too difficult." she added, before she saw the hurt in Vivian's eyes.

"Anna!" gasped Elsa with a frown. "That's too far!"

"It's not far enough." replied Anna with a frown. "Hurry up 'Fairy', you don't want to bring me a corpse do you?"

"You're horrible!" declared Vivian, tears rolling down her face before she quickly flew away.

"Anna! Why would you say something so horrible!?"

"You spend what feels like forever in your worst nightmare; seeing the person you love dying over and over; unable to do anything, and see how chipper YOU are to the one that caused it!" snapped Anna. "That fairy is lucky I don't light her on fire, and relish the sound of her screams!"

"Anna, you're scaring me." replied Elsa worriedly, before she grabbed Anna's hands. "Maybe the poison is still affecting you."

"Ohh it's definitely affecting me! I wanna pull the wings right off of her! See how she likes living a nightmare she can never wake up from!"

"Anna, stop! Please, this isn't you."

"Maybe it should be!" replied Anna angrily and pulling her hands from Elsa. "Maybe I should be angry and on-guard all the time; not the stupid, naive IDIOT that ignores my friends warning, and go blindly searching the forest for fairies that I know would sooner hurt me rather than befriend me!"

"Anna, stop."

"Stop, stop, stop! That's all you say!" declared Anna. "All you do is ignore, and avoid the issue, and run away! You wanna 'conceal, don't feel' me?"

"What, no!" gasped Elsa.

"How about you take your own advice!? Stop being such a scaredy-cat, grow a backbone! The Eternal winter was your fault! You're the fucking Queen, there was no reason for you to run away like a bitch!"

However, following the rage-fueled rant, Anna saw the tears in Elsa's eyes, and she had a moment of clarity.

"No... no-no-no! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean any of that! I just got so mad... like in the nightmare. The effects must still be lingering. I'm not that person, you know that!"

Elsa sniffled a little before stepping towards her and hugging her, quickly followed by Anna.

"I know. I don't know what you experienced in that nightmare; I'm sure it'll take time to recover fully."

"I really hope not, I can't snap at someone like I just did at you." replied Anna, before she pulled away and looked at her hands, before closing her hands into fists, and her whole body soon glows as she directed her healing inward.

"So your healing does work on you?" asked Elsa.

"Looks like it. I just hope this fixes me snapping at someone." replied Anna, before she suddenly dry heaved, and quickly turned to the side, away from Elsa and briefly vomited up a greenish fluid. "Ohh, guess that's the poison coming out of me. Already feel better." she added, before she turned her gaze back in front of her, and curiously saw Elsa no longer in front of her, but to her right, standing against a tree, with her left hand over her mouth. "Elsa?"

"I can't do vomit!" quickly replied Elsa. "Or that heaving. Are you done?

"Yeah." replied Anna, before she grinned and thought, 'That's an interesting quirk.' before she walked to Elsa's left with a smirk, gaining Elsa's curious gaze, and Anna mimicked a dry heave, complete with sound.

"Stop! Don't do that!" complained Elsa, before she quickly covered her mouth as she gave a little heave.

"Hehe, I never knew this about you."

"If you make me vomit, I'm aiming at you." replied Elsa.

"Oookay, fun's over." relied Anna, stepping away from Elsa.

After just a few moments, Elsa recovers and comments, "We should head in the direction Vivian went. Less distance for Juleka to fly."

"Yeah, you're right." replied Anna, before she and Elsa began to walk in the direction Vivian flew off. "I need to apologize for how I spoke to her. I still don't like her, but that's no reason for me to speak to her so cruelly."


After just two minutes of walking, the sisters hear Vivian call to them from ahead.

"Hey, You're Majesties! I have her!"

The fairy flew down from the right of the trees and stopped in front of them; revealing herself to be carrying another nude female fairy in her arms, with white hair similar to Elsa's, though styled in two braids instead of one. The fairy appeared to be unconscious... or worse, and unhealthily pale.

"I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you before." replied Anna.

"That's ok; heal her, please!" requested Vivian.

"Ok." replied Anna, before Elsa lifted her hands up towards Vivian.

"May I?" asked Elsa.

Vivian then placed Juleka down into Elsa's hands; the fairy's head resting near the edge of her left hand, while the fairy's legs from the knees down hang freely off the edge of her right hand. Elsa then presented her to Anna, lifting her hands over the fairy, and began to use her magic; her hands and Juleka's body glowing red.

"Fairy's are bigger than I thought; she's light." commented Elsa with a smile, while Vivian hovered closely beside Elsa's hands.

"Wow..." commented Anna, with some concern on her face. "I can feel it with my magic; she's in bad shape. She may not have lasted much longer. What happened to her?"

"I don't know." replied Vivian. "A few days ago, she just suddenly got deathly ill. I have my suspicions though..." she added, a frown briefly coming to her face, before worry quickly returned, "Can you save her? She's not too far gone is she!?"

"Yes, I can save her; just give me a little time." replied Anna with a smile.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" declared Vivian happily, before she flew over Elsa's hands to be near Juleka's head, and reached her hands out to gently grasp Juleka's head, and lowered her forehead to Juleka's, and whisper to her; though still audible to the sisters. "It's gonna be fine Juli. You're going to be ok."

With the affection Vivian showed Juleka; Elsa and Anna, shared a brief glance and they had the same thought; these two were possibly a couple. Anna now started to feel even worse for what she said to Vivian concerning Juleka. Then there was the look on Vivian's face saying she had her suspicions about what happened with Juleka; A possible attack?

Moment's later, the trio heard a groan from Juleka, and Vivian, hovering near her head, brightened with delight, and joined her on Elsa's hand, sitting to Juleka's right, her back to Elsa. With Vivian's position, Elsa had her closest view of Vivian's wings yet; seeing them relax against Vivian's back. Elsa found the sight quite interesting that the fairy's wings didn't remain 'stiff' when not in use. Vivian's wings were flat against her back, appearing similar to a cape; as such, they were now lower; allowing Elsa to feel them touching her hands; they seemed light and barely perceptible, like a feather and tickled her hand a bit.

"Juli!" gasped Vivian with delight.

Another groan left the healing fairy; a little color returning to her skin, before she quickly turned her head to the right, towards Elsa and vomited up a white, chunky fluid onto Elsa's left hand, which immediately prompted shutter and hard cringe from Elsa, before Juleka spoke her first word...

"Vi (V-eye)?"

"Yes, it's me! I'm here!" replied Vivian, taking Juleka's right hand in both of hers. "I found help! A human is healing you!"

"Really now?" asked Juleka, clearly amused. "Guess I must be in pretty bad shape for you to look for human help, and not attack them."

"Heh, right; I'll do whatever it takes for you." replied Vivian, before she nervously lifted her gaze to Anna; who raised an eye at her, before Vivian lowered her gaze back to Juleka. "You were right: treating the humans nicely gets you much more in the long-run."

"Heh, friends are always better; especially when they're bigger than you." stated Juleka, with a smile, before she opened her eyes, first seeing Elsa behind Vivian, who smiled at her, despite the disgust of the fairy's vomit on her hand.

"Hello." greeted Elsa.

Elsa then saw Juleka's eyes widen in shock.

"Uh, Vi? This illness must be really something, 'cause it looks like the one holding me is the Queen."

"That's 'cause she is." replied Vivian. "Her sister's healing you." she added with a smile.

Juleka then saw the glowing red hands above her move aside a little to allow her to see Anna smile at her.

"Hi!" greeted Anna happily.

"H-Hi..." replied Juleka, before she looked to Elsa. "I'm so sorry for vomiting on you."

"That's alright." replied Elsa, though it was clear she was grossed out by it.

"How are you feeling?" asked Anna.

"Great. Thanks your majesty." replied Juleka.

"Good. I'm just gonna finish healing you up."

Juleka then looked to Vivian. "How in the world did you manage this!?"

"Heh, well... I saw the princess when she was walking nearby, and since I, of course, knew who she was, and that she had healing magic I asked her for her help. She's so nice, and kind, and self-less."

Elsa and Anna saw the glare Juleka gave, she apparently knew Vivian was lying.

"Hehe... that's what happened, yep." stated Vivian.

"Ugh, I'll deal with that lie later. The important thing is I'm being healed." replied Juleka. "And that wouldn't have happened without you. Thanks Vi."

"I'd go to the ends of the world for you." replied Vivian, lifting Juleka's hand up and kissing the back of her hand.

Just moments later, the glow of Anna's magic faded from Juleka's body, and Anna's hands before she released a lengthy yawn.

"Ohhh, that should do it." replied Anna, clearly looking a little sleepy. "How you feeling Juleka?"

After a small groan, Juleka sat up and with Vivian's aide, returned to her feet, and the sisters got their first look at Juleka's wings, laying near flat against her back; they were much different from Vivian's, they were thin, long, and clear; similar to a dragonfly's wings. Vivian and Juleka were not the same 'race' of fairy, and Juleka was a full head taller than Vivian. Juleka soon lifts and extends her wings, and fluttered them a bit as she stretched out her arms.

"Nnngh! Sooo much better! Thanks." replied Juleka, before turning to face Anna and bowing to her. "I owe you my life." she added, before a small gasp left her as Vivian quickly hugged her.

"I'm so glad you're not dead!"

"Heh, me too." replied Vivian, before the two released each other hovered above Elsa's hands; allowing her to lower her hands, and specifically, used her magic to remove the vomit on her hand. Vivian and Juleka held hands, before the pair flew to the right a little and turned around, to see both sisters; before Juleka comments.

"By the way, let me introduce myself; I'm Juleka, and Vivian here is my girlfriend, and future wife." stated Juleka, before smiling at Vivian, who smiled back.

"It's nice to meet you Juleka." replied Anna. "...And congrats! I'm Anna; Princess of Arendelle."

"And I'm Elsa." added Elsa. "Queen of Arendelle."

"Thank you for your kindness, your Majesty." replied Juleka, with a curtsy. "I won't forget it."

"If you don't mind Juleka." started Anna with a smile. "I have a question I'd really like to ask you."

"Ok." replied Juleka.

"Do you remember meeting a little girl on a boat coming to this land?" Asked Anna, before she saw Juleka's eyes widen.

"How... do you know that?"

"That little girl's name was Isabelle, right? She's all grown up, and lives in town; she's my sister's Handmaid. She told me the story of how you two met! She'd really like to see you again."

"R-Really?" asked Juleka, as tears welled up in her eyes. "She still remembers me?"

"Yes; she does. If you'd like, you can join us in going back, and meet her again."

"I'd love to!" declared Juleka happily. "Can Vi come too?"

"Uhh..." replied Anna warily.

"It's alright Juli." replied Vivian, before she kissed Juleka on the cheek and released her hand. "I'll wait for you at home." she added, before she turned around and flew away.

"But!" quickly replied Juleka, briefly flying after Vivian a short distance. "I wanted you two to meet." commented Juleka sadly.

"Maybe next time." replied Elsa.

"Yeah..." replied Juleka, before she turned around with a smile. "I finally get to meet Izzy for the first time in years!"

Elsa giggled a little from Juleka's delight, before she conjured a horse and climbed on top of it; joined by Anna behind her, before they began heading back while Juleka flew beside them.

"I have so many questions!" stated Anna happily, looking to Juleka. "Are there a lot of you around?"

"Yeah, there's a bunch of different groups of fairies living in different areas." replied Juleka.

"Are you the closet ones to us?" asked Anna.

"Hmm... we're one of two that are 'closet' to your home." replied Juleka.

"Heh, right, a thirty minute ride on horseback isn't exactly 'close'." replied Anna, before she yawned again, then wrapped her hands around Elsa's waist and lowered her head against Elsa's back. "Is it true that you were bullied because you didn't like hurting humans?"

"Izzy told you that?" asked Juleka, looking a little embarrassed. "Yeah... I was considered a weirdo to my fellow fairies. A 'human sympathizer' they said." added Juleka, looking clearly saddened.

"I'm so sorry." replied Anna, before she sat up, and reached out her hands to Juleka. "Wanna hug? Human to fairy. The first step to change." she added, and saw the brief look of surprise on Juleka's face, and her eye's tear up before she darted into Anna's chest, who smiled and gently closed her arms around her.

"I just don't understand why my kind likes hurting you humans." stated Juleka. "We'd be so much happier if we could get along."

"I think so... too." replied Anna, trailing off as her eyes slowly close before a small gasp came from Juleka as Anna's sleeping form leaned forward into Elsa, trapping Juleka between them.

Juleka though managed to squeeze free of being pinned.

"She's out?" asked Elsa.

"Yeah." replied Juleka, flying in view of Elsa.

"Well she definitely needs it." replied Elsa, before she noticed Anna's satchel and shoes on the ground and steered near it, to her left before she used her magic to raise them up high enough to collect, before continuing on. "So, has your life here been different?" asked Elsa, looking to the fairy with a smile.

"Yes, much better!" replied Juleka. "The fairies here don't seem as intent to harm humans. For the most part, if the humans don't bother them, the fairies don't bother the humans. But a number of villages have been actively avoiding Humans; or rather, your town; ever since that weird winter storm in the middle of summer awhile ago. Apparently a witch with ice powers cursed..." explained Juleka, before she stopped and looked at the ice horse, then Elsa with some dread on her face, as well as Elsa looking nervous.

"T-That was a mistake! It won't happen again, I promise!"

"Wow... I'm surprised I didn't realize it sooner." replied Juleka nervously.

"Did you fairies manage to stay safe? No one actually died, did they?" asked Elsa, concerned that her uncontrolled release of magic may have seriously harmed a previously unknown group of people.

"I've heard of no deaths concerning the event." replied Juleka.

"That's a relief." replied Elsa, before, after a few moments, encountered Anna's horse, Kjekk, grazing on some grass. "It's Anna's horse; he waited for her." commented Elsa, before she called to the horse, drawing it's attention and walking towards them, then closer to Anna, nudging her with his nose. Elsa was about to speak, before Juleka beat her to it, patting Kjekk's head.

"Don't worry big guy, she's just sleeping."

Kjekk made a whinny, and Juleka looked surprised and commented...

"Fire? I don't know anything about a fire."

"You can understand him?" asked Elsa.

"Yeah." replied Juleka. "We fairies can talk to most animals." she added, before patting Kjekk's head. "He was really worried about Anna, and he says there was a lot of fire between him and Anna." she added, before Elsa resumed their travel, with Kjekk following beside them. "So what actually happened?" asked Juleka. "I know Vi was lying."

"Well..." started Elsa, briefly looking at Juleka warily.

"Please tell me."

"Vivian attacked Anna with some sort of nightmare magic." replied Elsa.

"What!?" gasped Juleka, before Elsa saw her quickly fly to Anna and touch her shoulder. "I'm so sorry!"

"What are you doing?" asked Elsa, looking back to see Juleka placing her hand on Anna's shoulder, before she pulled her hand away with a curious look on her face.

"Well, I was gonna remove the poison, but it's not there anymore." replied Juleka.

"Anna used her healing to remove it. She ended up vomiting it out."

"Really?" asked Juleka, wide-eyed, before looking to the sleeping princess. "She can can remove fairy poison..."

"That's a big deal?" asked Elsa.

"Kinda..." replied Juleka. "If she could neutralize it, that would be a big deal, but it's actually not in her body anymore; She can forcibly remove the poison. That's still very interesting."

"What makes it so interesting?"

"Well, even after the poisons effect has worn off, it remains in the body until it's naturally removed. Depending on the poison, there can be lingering, weak effects. If it's straight up removed from the body though, that doesn't happen. Only we fairies can neutralize our poisons; giving the same effect as removing it." explained Juleka.

"Oh..." replied Elsa, though looked curious. "'Your' poisons?"

"Oh, right. We fairies specialize in poisons and mists, or 'Fairy Dust'. It's very potent, and allows us to influence animals or humans in various ways; Hallucinations, sleeping, charming, memory wiping... stuff like that. B-but not all our poisons are bad, even if technically it is considered poison..."

"So you specialize in poisons huh? Well, you are small, so I guess you need something to defend yourself. So Fairy Magic isn't a thing?"

"Oh no, it is." replied Juleka, "...but we can't shoot magic like you and your sister can. My body is naturally infused with magic and as such, my bodily fluids have magical properties. So think of it like rubbing an arrow head on the back of a poisonous frog. That's what we do to ourselves. So for instance, I could lick the tip of an arrow, then as long as my intent is clear, whatever I shoot with the arrow will be effected how I want."

"Whoa... you're small, but dangerous." replied Elsa, wide-eyed. "But what do you mean by intent?"

"Well, my bodily fluids are magically neutral if I don't have any intent to do anything with it. So if you wanted to be weird and lick the sweat off me, nothing would happen to you if I didn't want anything to happen. Also, I wouldn't be able to affect you after the fact either; I need to have the intent for you to be affected before you were to lick me."

"Interesting... So only your body fluid?" asked Elsa.

"Yeah; so saliva, sweat, tears, urine, blood, sexual fluids." replied Juleka, before a light blush rose on her cheeks with a little smile from the last fluid. "However, we have to penetrate the skin or enter the body. Our poisons have no effect just sitting on your skin; except for the dust. It can penetrate the skin, but it's effect is slower to act and a bit weaker since it's not concentrated into a point like an arrow or blade. Then there's the fact that certain poisons require certain fluids. For example, lethal poison requires the use of our blood."

"Huh... So how do you produce 'fairy dust'?" asked Elsa.

"From our wings." replied Juleka, before she flew in front of Elsa, and landed on the ice horse; just inches from her crotch, which didn't go unnoticed by Elsa; her cheeks reddening some, before she saw Juleka reach her right hand back to her right upper wing, and rub it, before presenting her hand to Elsa, seeing a whitish powder on her hand. "This is it. My wings aren't big like Vi's though, so I don't have much dust. She and the others can really produce a lot."

"Interesting..." replied Elsa, before she saw Juleka return to flying beside her, and patting her hand clean, though Elsa quickly noticed, a lot more dust was removed from Juleka's hand than it originally appeared to have. "So your wings produce a coating over them. Does anything bad happen if the coating is completely removed?"

"Nope, I just lose the use of my dust until my wings produce more. Which takes about a day if it's all removed." answered Juleka. "But the dust also provides a small degree of protection against injury, like stretches and tears. I don't have to worry too much about it, but Vi and the others do since their wings are so large and wide."

"Huh... interesting. I'm guessing a torn wing is a serious injury?"

"It can be, depending on where a fairy is when it happens. We can't fly with a torn wing. It'll heal on it's own, but it takes a while." answered Juleka. "Also... back on the topic of poison, since Vi and I have been, 'together' for awhile, we can neutralize each others poisons." pointed out Juleka.

"Oh... whoa, really?"

"Yeah..." replied Juleka with a blushing smile.

"So, can a fairy poison another fairy?" asked Elsa.

"Yes; we are not immune to another fairy's poison, unless they have a physical relationship; Like Vi and I."

"I see." replied Elsa, before the unsettling thought occurred to her that Juleka's mysterious near fatal illness wasn't so mysterious; it possibly was an attack, one that Juleka likely knew of; Quite possibly even knowing who her attacker was. With Anna's healing, any minor cuts would've been healed, erasing possible evidence. If Juleka was the target of an attack, or rather, attempted murder, the fairy was silent about it; Elsa wasn't quite comfortable asking Juleka about it though. She was an outsider to the events after all.

"Anyway..." started Juleka, her smile fading, "The nightmare poison is particularly nasty and cruel. It finds the most vulnerable part of someone, and attacks it mercilessly; getting stronger and stronger the more involved the person gets into the nightmare. It's a poison that adapts and can change; making it one our most dangerous poisons, beat out only by lethal poison. I can't believe Vi would use it; I thought I taught her better. It can really damage someone mentally, even after the poisons effect is gone. The Princess seemed ok though, but look out for any sudden shifts in mood. If she says something super mean, and you know it's not something she would normally say, just be patient with her. Even if she removed it, that particular poison can deeply effect someone."

"Thanks, I will." replied Elsa, however, she was quite curious about one thing Juleka said. "But, you taught Vivian better?"

"Oh, yeah; I think I worded that wrong." replied Juleka. "I'm the leader of my village."

"Oh, really!?" asked Elsa, clearly surprised by the detail.

"Yeah, I developed my village on the ideal that Fairies and Humans can get along. Aside from acting in defense, no one in the village is allowed to harm a human. I'll need to talk with Vi later."

"That's wonderful Juleka. It must've been hard." replied Elsa with a smile.

"Heh, yes, it was a bit difficult starting out. Many didn't see the point, but a few did. I'm not the only one who thinks the way I do." stated Juleka with a smile. "My village isn't very large compared to others, but with this first step between us, I hope the other villages can see we can live in peace with the humans, and perhaps, even friends."

"So do I." replied Elsa with a smile, before she saw Juleka glance to Anna, with some concern on her face, which prompted Elsa to look back to Anna curiously. "Is something wrong?"

"Not necessarily. But I'm curious, does your sister pass out often when she uses her healing?"

"This is only the second time." answered Elsa. "The first was when she... did something similar to healing you." she added, quickly remembering to omit the fact that Anna revived a dead bird.

"Hmm, so it's just the second time; Interesting." commented Juleka.

"Why is it interesting?" asked Elsa, halting their journey to give her full attention.

"It's probably nothing... I don't want to cause you needless concern." replied Juleka.

"I'm curious now, continue." stated Elsa.

"Ok... do you know of the Phoenix?" asked Juleka.

"The bird of fire that's reborn from it's ashes?" asked Elsa.

"Yes. We fairies have a slightly different take on that though; An old story, or 'Fairy tale'. Eh? Eh?" replied Juleka, before she smirked, though saw that Elsa was not amused, and continued on. "Right... ahem, the Phoenix is not a bird in our stories; Which I find odd by the way. It's apparently a fire spirit that can possess a singular person when it dies, or even animal, and grant them incredible power. But like the Phoenix, which burns bright and intensely, killing itself in the process; so does the person that it possesses. The fairy stories say that the Phoenix itself only lives for a day before it burns itself to ash, then the spirit searches for a person or animal to possess, allowing it to live much longer. If Anna really has the power of the Phoenix, her healing is doing much more harm to her than she thinks."

"So your saying if Anna continues to use her healing, she could kill herself!?" gasped Elsa.

"Not... necessarily; She wouldn't die if she tried to revive someone whose dead, based on the story. If the Phoenix is part of her, then her healing is shortening her life, but it's just a story."

"A very worrying story." replied Elsa. "Anna's always so eager to help others, and now she'll pay for that by dying earlier than she's supposed to?"

"Just warn her not to go around healing every person she encounters." suggested Juleka, "If she does have the Phoenix's powers, that's what will shorten her life, especially severely or gravely injured people."

"That's easier said than done." replied Elsa with a small chuckle. "Anna's just that kind of person. But I will let her know what you've said. Even if your story is just that, and I hope it is; just a 'fairy tale', I've already warned her not to let people know she can heal, people would surely flock to her."

"Good." replied Juleka. "I hope it's just a story too. I never put much stock into these stories, but things just lined up with your sister; healing magic is a rarity and comes with a cost. Though, I am curious; you're sister's, with opposing elemental powers. One can create life, and the other can restore it. You wouldn't happen to know where your magic comes from, or it's origin, would you?"

Elsa was about to answer, until she heard her magic quickly comment...

"Tell her no, and don't mention me."

"No, unfortunately." replied Elsa, deciding to follow the suggestion. "I was born with my magic."

"Hmm, and I assume Anna was born with hers?" asked Juleka.

"Yes."

"Interesting... Sister's born with opposing elemental powers. Maybe Anna doesn't have the power of the Phoenix after all. Maybe it's something else."

"What could it be?" asked Elsa.

"I don't know... I not a well of magical information, unfortunately. Are you sure you're human?"

"Of course I'm human! Anna too! Our parents were human." quickly replied Elsa, surprised by such a question.

"Ok, Ok. I didn't mean any disrespect! I just find it odd that a pair of sisters have different elemental affinities. Does one or both of your parents have magic?"

"Not that I know of; no."

"Well the world is full of mysteries..." commented Juleka.

Resuming the journey home, Elsa then thought to her magic, 'Is what she says about this phoenix spirit true?'

"More or less, yes; but don't worry, Anna is not possessed by the Phoenix." replied her magic. "This Fairy is screwing with you."

'Or maybe things simply lined up with stories she's heard; like she said.' thought Elsa. 'She's warned me against letting Anna go on a healing spree, which I also agree with; how is that screwing with me?'

"Her telling you that Phoenix stuff needlessly stressed you out. Juleka may claim she means well, but she's still a fairy; it's in her nature to be trouble."

Elsa sighed from her magic's comment.

'It's that sort of thinking that halts progress.'

"But it keeps one safe."

'And gives rise to discrimination.' thought Elsa with a little frown.

"..."

'You claim to know things; You clearly don't know much; or you would know discrimination leads to nothing good, or maybe you just don't care; using the excuse of my protection to justify it. I will not tolerate discrimination from anyone, not even you. People can change, all it takes is making that first step.'

"... Understood. I'm sorry." replied Elsa's magic apologetically. "I will give Juleka a chance."

'Good, after all, Juleka has been quite honest with the threats she and other fairy's possess.' thought Elsa. 'A verbal equivalent of presenting her weapons.'

"That is true... I didn't know her poison has no effect just sitting on the skin."

'So there are things you don't know?' thought Elsa with a smile.

"Hey, I never claimed to know everything, just everything about your magic."

'Which you refuse to tell me about for some reason.'

"Exactly. Where's the fun in just telling you what you can do, and not letting you discover it on your own? Do what Anna does, experiment."

'You'd like that wouldn't you?' thought Elsa with a smile. 'Laughing in my head when I do something like trapping myself like Anna did.'

A small chuckle left Elsa, prompting a curious gaze from Juleka.

- Twenty minutes later -

In sight of town, Anna groggily wakes up, sitting up from leaning against Elsa's back with a yawn.

"Welcome back Anna." greeted Elsa. "We're nearly home. Enjoy your nap?"

"Yeah..." replied Anna, before she opened her eyes, and smiled when she saw her horse walking beside them, as well as the amusing sight of Juleka sitting on his back. "Hey, wait; stop Elsa."

"What's up?" asked Elsa as she stopped her horse, followed by Kjekk, then Anna dismounting.

"I don't think it's a good idea to just walk into town with a fairy in clear view." replied Anna, before she grabbed her satchel, which Elsa now wore, but handed over without a word. "Juleka, do you mind hiding in my bag? Just until I reach the castle?" she asked.

"No, I don't mind." replied Juleka, before she flew from the back of Kjekk, and into the open bag and Anna smiled as she saw her lay down.

"Heh, comfortable?"

"Actually, yeah. I really like enclosed spaces." replied Juleka.

"Alright then." replied Anna, before she mounted Kjekk. "Not much longer before you're reunited with Izzy. I can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees you!"

- Seven minutes later -

- Arendelle Castle -

After placing her horse back in the stable, Anna walked into the castle from the front doors, and into the ballroom where she smiled when she saw Isabelle walking down the stairs ahead.

"Hey Izzy! I got a surprise for you!" declared Anna happily as she hurried towards her friend.

"Yeah, Elsa just told me that, and said to come meet you." replied Isabelle.

"My room, now!" stated Anna, taking Isabelle's right hand in hers, and bringing a small gasp from her as she pulled her up the stairs.

"Oh! Ok, ok!"

- Anna's Room -

"Sit on my bed! You're gonna want to be sitting for this!" declared Anna delightfully as she lead Isabelle into her room, and quickly closed and locked her door.

"I'm seriously wondering what has you so excited, considering your giving me something." replied Isabelle with a smile as she walked to and sat on Anna's bed, facing her.

"Giving a gift is just as good as receiving one." replied Anna, before she moved her hands to her satchel. "Now, without further delay..." she added, with a giddy giggle, before pulling open her bag.

Juleka then peeked her head up out of the bag, and locked eyes with Isabelle; whom gave a small gasp, before another shuttering gasp left her, and lifting her hands over her mouth as Juleka rose from the bag with a smile, and Anna saw the look of shock on Isabelle's face before tears began to flow down her face and she stood, taking a single step towards Juleka.

"J-Juli? I-Is it really you!?"

"Yes." answered Juleka, tears streaming down her face as well, flying towards Isabelle slowly. "You've gotten so big." she added with a smile, which prompted a chuckle from Isabelle, before she quickly closed the gap between them, and reached out her hands to pull Juleka into her chest and fell to her knees and cried.

"I thought I'd never see you again! I'm so sorry for what happened to you! It's all my fault!"

"It's wasn't your fault." replied Juleka, though muffled pressed into Isabelle's chest.

"I've missed you so much!"

"Me too Izzy."

Anna meanwhile, watching the reunion, was also crying, happy tears trailing down her cheeks watching two long separated friend meet again.

Isabelle, soon released Juleka, allowing her to hover back a little for them to look at each other, before Isabelle smiled and commented...

"You haven't changed at all." commented Isabelle, lifting her index finger up to Juleka's left cheek, prompting a smile from her and lifting her hands up to hold Isabelle's finger and rub her cheeks against it.

"And you've grown into a fine looking adult, Izzy."

Isabelle smiled, before her gaze shifted to Anna and asked...

"How did you do this, Anna!?"

"Well..." commented Anna nervously, while Isabelle returned to her feet. "Despite your warning, I've spent the last few days searching the forest for her, or any other fairies."

"You what!?" gasped Isabelle in shock. "That was incredibly foolish of you Anna." she added with a frown, before it shifted to a look of concern as she commented, "I didn't tell you that so you could go looking for her." However, Isabelle surprised Anna as she suddenly rushed to her and hugged her tightly. "But thank-you! Thank you so, SO much!"

"You're welcome." replied Anna, returning the hug, briefly, before Isabelle pulled back. "You get to be reunited with an old friend, and I get to meet a fairy; it's a win-win for the both of us!" she added, before she saw Isabelle turn back to Juleka and lift her left hand under her, allowing her to sit on her hand, before Isabelle urged some giggles from her as she began to pet and caress her, particularly rubbing a finger under the fairy's chin and down her back, between her wings.

"As wonderful as this gift is, Anna." stated Isabelle. "I strongly discourage doing something like this again. You could've found yourself in real, serious danger. I'd feel horrible if you went missing or worse, because of me."

"I understand. I'll take your advice next time." replied Anna, choosing to omit the detail about her being attacked and nearly killing Elsa. 'I got lucky today.' she thought. 'It could've turned out so much worse.'

"Thanks." stated Isabelle. "So how long is Juleka staying?" she asked, before Juleka answered...

"I can stay until the evening. I'll need to go back home before it gets dark."

"I have so much to tell you." replied Isabelle with a smile.

"Me too!" added Juleka.

"Well..." started Anna, walking to her door. "I'll give you two some time to catch up. I'll let Elsa know your busy."

"No, stay. I wanna share this with you." quickly stated Isabelle.

"Really?" asked Anna. "I don't mind giving you two some privacy."

"Yes, really! I have a friend to introduce Juleka to." replied Isabelle with a smile as she looked at the fairy. "I didn't have that when we met the first time."

"Then I'd love to join you." replied Anna, walking from the door, towards Isabelle and her new fairy friend, Juleka.

"Oh hey!" gasped Isabelle with a smile, looking to Anna. "I know you two already met, but do you think you could indulge me by letting me introduce you?"

"Sure." replied Anna with a smile.

"Thanks; Ahem... Anna, I'd like to introduce you to a very good friend of mine, Juleka. Juleka, this is Anna; also my friend and the sister of the Queen, who I serve."

"It's nice to meet you Juleka." greeted Anna with a smile.

"Same here, Anna- or rather, your majesty." replied Juleka with a smile, removing herself from Isabelle's hand and hovering as she gave a bow.

Anna chuckled a little before presenting her right hand to Juleka, before just her index finger, which Juleka grasped with both hands and shook.

Smiling with delight at the introduction, Isabelle quickly commented, "I have little sister's now Juli; They're twins."

"Really?" asked Juleka, turning to face Isabelle with a smile. "I'd love to meet them."

"I'd like to introduce you, but I don't think they'd be able to keep you a secret from Mother." replied Isabelle. "She's still not a fan of fairies."

Juleka looked a little saddened, before a smile returned to her face.

"It takes both sides for change to happen; Some will never change though." replied Juleka. "But I will make that first step; My village is proof that not all of us are bad."

"Your village?" asked Isabelle, before she gasped. "Did you succeed in creating your own village!?"

"Yep!" replied Juleka happily. "You're looking at the leader of her own village."

"Whoa! Really!?" gasped Anna. "You're the leader!?" she added, before giving a curtsy, prompting a blush on Juleka's cheeks.

"Oh, t-there's no need for you to do that! I'm not royalty."

"I'm just showing respect." replied Anna.

"Thanks, but that's really not necessary."

Isabelle then smiled and followed with a curtsy of her own, causing Juleka's face to brighten a little more.

"Not you too."
