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.

(North.)

Pyram and Elsa's gait was refined, slow and methodical. Pyram made several glances at Anna and Kristoff, both of which were cold, but not showing it very well at the moment.

"What do you think will be north calling out like this?" Pyram questioned. He pulled his cloak over him, his armor didn't keep out the heat the most, but his powers did.

"I'm not sure… but whatever it is? I believe it will concern both of us." Elsa watched the king of Ignis nod while humming and sighing.

"Pyram? Did Eadelmarr ever get jealous of your powers and not you having the throne?" Elsa questioned while Pyram hummed.

"I'm not sure, he and I haven't been on speaking terms in years, Elsa. The emperor used to be a caring and kind man; his father groomed him to take the throne the same way my father made sure I would be ready." Pyram sighed and crossed his arms under his cloak.

"He reminds me of Hans." Pyram hummed at Elsa's words and looked at the queen who looked at worried as he did under his armor.

"Do you ever question why you're the ruler? You ever feel like while you want to be the best leader, you're unsure? You keep doubting yourself?" Pyram and Elsa continued their walk, unaware of the others watching them.

"Yes." Elsa believed she had told this to Pyram before, the king shook his head and sighed.

"Royal law is usually you can't abdicate the throne unless you have an heir. I don't wish to be king much longer." Pyram looked at Elsa whose lips pursed into a frown before the king continued, taking a pause to rest on a tree.

"I don't want to be selfish. I love my people, I don't always like feeling like being king means I can do anything I want. Elsa? I'm scared of what would happen under my reign." Pyram removed his helmet and turned it over to look at it as Elsa sat next to her friend on the stump.

"I don't want to come off as a coward, I'd fight to the death for my people… but I know I'm scared. You have to send people off on tasks where they might not come back, being ruler means people always expect you to have answers and I don't." Pyram ran his fingers over his helmet.

He had crafted it wanting to lead his people, to show them he wasn't a crown, he would gladly march into conflict if he needed them.

"You miss them, don't you? your parents?" Elsa rested her hand on Pyram's shoulder as he nodded.

"Yes. my father was a king, I'm just a pretender on a throne. My people are getting killed, I can't control my own generals from questioning me. I have several people wondering if I can even lead in the face of war and I'm too busy being concerned over every soldier that died. My men are dying back in Arendelle thinking I left them to perish so I could help you." Pyram stated before realizing it made him sound like he blamed Elsa and not himself.

The snow queen, however, seemed to fully grasp his words.

"I'm scared too. I've spent nights wondering what would happen if I wasn't around, Anna almost died because of me, I know what it's like to be afraid of your own power." Pyram heard and nodded as he slipped on his helmet.

"I'm not afraid of my power. I want to know why I have it, and what my future is. If I die and this war ends? I'll be content, but we will get to the end of the road before things are done." Pyram turned to Elsa and smiled under his helmet.

"You're a good queen, Elsa. Your people will be fine, they wouldn't follow you if they don't trust you." Pyram stated before starting to walk away.

"Then why don't you consider the same with your people?" Elsa got Pyram to turn slightly, his eyes glowing under his armor.

"Because I don't trust myself with their safety. I trust people like you." Pyram pointed out before starting to walk away.

"Well, that was… something." Kristoff stated as Elsa followed the king of Ignis forward.

"I think it's more then something, they just don't see it." Anna walked after her sister, wondering if the young queen had found love.

Sven laughed as Kristoff rolled his eyes and followed the duo forward, Elsa turned only to make sure they weren't being followed.

Nothing, Pyram turned to her as the duo continued to walk in step towards the North.

Neither knew what their destinies were... but both resolved to face them together.

Neither knew that they cared for the other besides friendship, but the seeds of love were planted, and the tree would soon bloom for them.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I'm sorry for the chapters being short and the romance being… meh, I'm trying to write them as Elsa being the more caring and kinder one with Pyram being the more understanding and brave. Next chapter is going to be in a week or so and will show Pyram and Elsa arriving in the north and meeting the Northuldra. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
