Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Frozen Flame enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Frozen; Disney and a few others do.

(Ignis.)

Pyram had been amongst his people before. They had seen their king, they knew him. Pyram knew there was people who either hated him or admired the king's ability to lead.

Pyram had set aside time for another visit to the royal doctor. Elsa walked next to him.

To many people? Seeing the king of Ignis and the Queen of Arendelle together was becoming a common sight. Pyram turned to Elsa as he waved and continued to walk down the street with a cadre of guards.

"I want to point out unless your idea to raid the shipyards was a success? Mer and their allies will still send ships to Arendelle… I hope your fleet is strong enough to repel something like that." He whispered. Elsa hummed and crossed her arms.

"I had plans incase Arendelle was ever invaded. I sent Kai to tell them Arendelle will be unable to support trade with its allies if we went to war… our allies view Arendelle as too valuable to risk. Pyram? The only way to reach Arendelle is by sea. I hate war, that doesn't mean I don't have ways of destroying fleets… We have shore-based canons…" Pyram blinked under his helmet and hummed.

"Remind me never to play you in Chess, your highness. We both hate war. I might have an army, but I don't enjoy mobilizing it unless I have to." Pyram stated before doing another wave.

"You think my letter got to Arendelle?" Pyram easily detected the notes of concern within her voice as he hummed.

"I do, Chorus wouldn't let something as simple as delivering a letter slow her down. she probably already delivered it and is on her way back. I'm not sure how long it will take for her to get here…" Pyram put in as the two rulers continued their walk.

(Arendelle)

Anna looked at Chorus as the bird chirped and looked at the stand in queen of the kingdom.

Elsa had explained that the small bird would await her message for a day before she returned to the kingdom of Ignis.

"You going to tell her anything? She's still playing diplomat over in Pyram's kingdom." Kristoff pointed out as Anna began reading over the note once more.

Chorus chirped as the bird hopped onto her arm and walked up her arm.

(Ignis)

Pyram walked onto the walls of the kingdom. He turned to see Elsa as he looked upon the rest of his army.

Pyram wasn't a violent man, he enjoyed a good duel… not a war splitting open the very kingdom he had helped build.

A kingdom born from blood wasn't a kingdom worth having. He hated the very idea of a long drawn out conflict for his kingdom… but Mer wasn't leaving him many if any choices.

Pyram turned to see Elsa who gazed down at the battalions of soldiers.

"When this is over? I'm making sure every soldier who had fought in the war gets remembered. A king shouldn't have to send his entire army to fight a war just for his own protection…" Pyram stated before rubbing at his temples.

"At least this will be over soon. Arendelle will send reinforcements." Pyram nodded before he ran a hand over his temples.

"I forget if I asked this… but I will ask it again anyway." Pyram stated as he leaned on the walls of the gate.

"Have you ever felt like you've had to make calls you doubt your position? You just feel like the entire weight of leadership is crushing down on you?" Pyram turned to look at the rows of soldiers again.

Elsa noted Pyram never removed his armor fully… that was a sign he was either always expecting a fight or never let his guard down.

"There's been days where I don't know if I can lead Arendelle the way my parents could have… but my people need me. you don't believe you can run Ignis?" Elsa asked, Pyram hummed and brushed his hand along the soot covered wall.

"Not all of us are blessed with the privilege of leadership. I can barely keep my officers from charging into the jaws of death and yet I'm supposed to be the champion of the people? I envy your ability to never be burdened by the weight of rulership." Pyram said before rolling his eyes.

"I talk very silly for someone who's supposed to be a king… anyway, I got reports the final battle is going to be here soon. I have a few ideas about how we can continue to sabotage the war… Like a Mer weapon factory nearby." Pyram turned and started to walk away.

"You may want to stay here unless you plan on helping me stop Mer." He brushed off his armor.

"Elsa? I want to talk about some more things when I get back." Pyram stated.

Neither could predict the final battle of the war.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to apologize for the chapters being short. I don't have a desire to make super long chapters and I'm also trying to make the grammar as legible as possible. Next chapter will be on next Monday or so and will show Elsa getting Anna's letter and such. until then, Lighting Wolf out!
