Chapter 7: Beyond the Unknown
"Home has more than a single meaning."
Elsa carefully stride through the ruined halls of the long forgotten pillars of a once great kingdom, an ancient race existing before Arendelle came into existence decaying swords and broken arrows from what she deduced from the looks of it, the battle wage on from months, moving onwards she wondered if the others were looking for her stopped from what she can make out a great door lying slightly ajar, nearly about to push it open when it opened by itself, her heart skipped a beat she contemplated if she should proceed her train of thought came to a pause with the appearance of Elisa shining in her radiance her light chasing the shadows to furthest corners of the ruined wall.
"Missed me Elsa? She grinned, "This is where your journey ends, beyond this pass is where the vilest darkness hides, this pass will be sealed off preventing anyone who ventures and bringing the full power of the corruption residing here."
"Hold on, you send me here for a purpose if this pass leads me to the salvation of Arendelle, I will take it." Elisa raised her right hand, preventing her from going any further.
"Your tenacity is admirable, the very same way I would take myself yet my power sees beyond the pass, you won't last ten minutes if you pass by me." Elsa wasn't about to give up, tried appealing for her help.
"Then help me, help me save Arendelle and the enchanted forest, I can't… we cannot leave them in this state." Elisa saw through her ploy, lovingly explained her plan.
"There is a plan for their salvation sister, the time has not yet arrived, how they'll be saved is through you Elsa." The words Elisa spoke spawn more questions leaving Elsa slightly confused.
"How can I save them? " Elsa replied. "The means to save them will be provided by me, alone you are insufficient in dealing with forces you are up against."
"What forces? I don't understand."
"A few gifted individuals who wield dark magic seek control and dominance over this world, they do it by working their way into high positions in the courts of kings, their influence is so subtle they never realised how they are being manipulated by them." The image of the trolls appeared in her mind, having visited them occasions wondered if there were secrets they chose not to tell her.
"The trolls, would they be corrupted by the corruption spewing from the forest?"
"A powerful fiery barrier surrounds the corruption, not a single leak of corruption will touch Arendelle, and Auhohallen is safe yet behind the barrier the corruption grows stronger, do you recall the legend of the blight where a dozen explorers never return?" The memory within Elsa sprung to life, Elsa remembered reading the report sent a search party for weeks they failed to report back, two more search parties were sent however, the results were the same until she gave up searching for them.
"They… disappeared, they never came back; they may have lost their way or never found those explorers."
"Unfortunately Elsa, they went further off their intended course like the explorers did before them, the powers residing here took control of their minds drove them insane, Auhohallen isn't the only power at work the dormant corruption awoke once you became the fifth spirit."
"Nevadria, the goddess of corruption awakens the growth of the corruption is spreading, long ago before the foundation of Arendelle there once exists a powerful magical empire, they called themselves Eldreior, starting from a simple tribal village, seeing their potential Nevadria came to them in a form of a beautiful goddess of light giving them guidance, teaching them the secrets of magic."
"However, there was a condition for this power, they were to offer themselves and their entire families including their future generations as servants, body, soul and spirit, in return, they'll return after death in a new body."
"A new body? If they're still alive means they exist and they are hiding."
"Truly Elsa, you are brilliant!" said Eliza, "But this new body cost them dearly."
"Time past from days into months, their small village grew at a phenomenal rate, the village you called Arendelle is nothing more than the site they build their powerful oblislisks and their unholy temples, this dark disturbing secret was kept from us in what our parents will tell us is for our own protection." Letting out a deep sigh continuing on.
"They accepted the offer without any hesitation, their populace multiplied like hornets, not long afterwards they were commanded to assimilated every culture in their warped empire, went on a bloody rampage, their corruptive power work subtly within their minds, turning families against each other, children murdered their parents, brothers against sisters and husbands against wives, those who resisted their power met their ends brutally." Elsa resisted the attempt, replicating visually the terrible fate that befell them, feeling an uneasy feeling stirring in her stomach.
"If they were really unstoppable, what happened to them who stopped them?"
"The Northuldra with the aid of the spirits did, the long war ragged on for months both sides, the steep cost increased with each passing day, the unity of Northuldra far too strong for them to break so they unleashed their powers on them, every ground they gain build strongholds defiling the enchanted lands, hence this ancient stronghold we are in."
"Who won the war in the end? How were they defeated?"
"Defeat were only for a short time, they find ways of returning and their attacks increased in fervency every inch of ground they made the Northuldra pay in blood, eventually the spirits became involved after many years their empire came crashing down… however, both were fooled, hence the corruption you witnessed."
"For many years they've been dormant, concealing their existence at the same time preparing for their return there is no time to linger, we must prevent their plans from being fulfilled, you're going to with me a realm no eye has seen or heard." Elisa grinned.
"Where is this realm, how do you plan for us to get there?"
"Not by any natural means, but through me we are going there and you, my dearest sister are coming with me!" said Elisha excitedly.
"Close your eyes Elsa, the realm we are heading is invisible to your natural eyes, soon you shall see with your eyes I'm giving you." Elsa closed her eyes, Eliza spit on her hands creating mud applying it on her sister's eyes delicately rubbing it.
"Do I want to know what you are doing?"
"Soon your eyes will see what was once invisible to many of this world, your mind is going to be lost for words, open your eyes."
"Strange, there's nothing different… what was I supposed to see?"
"Everything intended for you to see, your hands if you please." Elisa conjure in front of her eyes a golden goblet, watched water materializing within.
"The water you see before you is holiness, for none can enter the great unknown without being set apart, drink it Elsa this will enable you to enter freely." Elsa drank it, the water tasted like honey, however there was more behind it than she anticipated.
"Elsa, my dear sister you are ready!" Eliza placed her hands on her shoulders, the light in her eyes glowing consumed her pupils Elsa held onto Elisa's shoulders as well, the ground beneath her shrinking gaining momentum phased through the stony ceiling, ascending beyond the mountains picked up speed reaching above the clouds into the night sky, a tingling feeling inside Elsa prompted her to look upwards, now passing through the atmosphere accelerated faster than the speed of light itself, Elsa hardly kept track of the multiple planets passing by her for a long she gazed into the night sky thinking what it was like to see the stars for herself, the awe in her eyes reminded her of the time she wondered the same.
"Now Elsa, FEAST YOUR EYES ON THE ETERNAL REALM OF THE GRAND HEAVENS!" What seem like the veil being removed, the night sky, stars, and planets vanished, giving way into the shining radiant light, the sky itself filled with white light outshone the countless suns in the universe, Elsa marvelled her eyes gazed in awe and wonder the massive diamond gates of the heavens, standing at the height of seventy meters tall, a gigantic golden snowflake plastered in the middle including the walls whiter than snow stretch for miles endlessly, feeling indescribable peace and joy kept what she saw in her heart.
"This.. is~is… ama~ama~ZING!" Eliza giggled, standing beside Elsa.
"Wait until you reach the third heaven, in our language is called the Supreme Heaven! The prime power of the three heavens, we are at the first heaven, home for the pure and virtuous in heart." Eliza waved her hand, the massive gates responded, the snowflake glowed momentarily a glowing white line emerged in the middle of the snowflake reached both the bottom and the top, Eliza started into a song.
Summer in the hills
Those hazy days I do remember
We were running still
Had the whole world at our feet
Watching seasons change
Our roads were lined with adventure
Mountains in the way
Couldn't keep us from the sea
Here we stand open arms
This is home where we are
Ever strong in the world that we made
I still hear you in the breeze
See your shadows in the trees
Holding on, memories never change.
"Elsa, there are two special individuals you need to meet here, they have asked for you for an eternity." The blinding light pouring out from the massive gates began lifting slowly, Elsa seeing what seemed like a man and woman walking side by side their distinctive stance she found familiar, looking at their shoes and boots she pieced together who could it be, almost resbleming her grandfather only this shoes were worn only princes and above, the military uniform and the regal robes emerged from the light, both clothing bore resemblance the final piece came together from one word they spoke together.
"Elsa"
That voice startled her, the light faded from their face revealing their faces, it was beyond any form of doubt it was her father and mother raced towards them throwing her arms around the, her eyes unable to contain her tears let loose rivers of tears.
"Rest now Elsa, here the darkness and corruption has no power, you are safe…" the snowqueen did not answer clinging on them tighter, her parents hugging her back lovingly, this was just the beginning more surprises and the inhabitants of the three heavens eagerly awaited her.
