A sharp snapping noise next to Elsa's ear jerked her awake. She attempted to move, hissing in pain. The binds around her hands are so tight. Henry sat in front of her on a small stool. His lantern is the only light in the chamber. Elsa hated being right about him. She should have struck him down the moment she sensed Han's aura.

Henry set his lantern down folding his hands. He leaned back, crossing his legs. "When I heard you abducted your throne to play savage in the woods. I – I just couldn't believe it..."

Elsa tried her best to see if Viona is near. Her eyes scanned around the small space quickly. "Where is Viona Hans? What have you done to her?"

Henry's jaw clenched tightly. He exhaled slowly before responding. "That man no longer exists, and The girl is none of your concern. She belongs to me."

She met his gaze angrily. "You have me. Just leave these people alone!"

The laugh that erupted from Henry shook Elsa's insides. "Yes, finally I have you. My father continues to keep all his promises."

Elsa shut her eye's, riding out a wave of pain in her body. "What the hell are you talking about? You've really lost your mind."

Henry turned away from her. He walked over to one of the symbols on the wall and traced his fingers over the carving. "There is a new world coming. My father has shown it to me. The Gods are returning and I will be the one to rule over them."

Elsa shook her head, not wanting to listen to the ramblings of a mad man. How was she going to get out of this? She can hardly feel her magic. She surmised that keeping him talking might buy her some time. "Hans please listen to me. Whatever forces you're dealing with are dangerous! They or it are using you!"

Henry reached back into his pocket revealing a small bronze blade. He approached her wearing a menacing grin. "No, I am using them. Now if you would excuse me, I have new followers to greet."
He plunged the blade into Elsa's side and she shrieked. Her body hit the ground roughly, her chest heaving as she felt warm liquid pool around her. Henry laughed watching her. He bowed low before leaving her to her demise. Elsa could feel herself slipping away. She struggled against her binds gasping for air. A chill ran through her and her motions stilled. She could see Honeymaren holding Dion. She tried to reach out to them, but her world went dark.


Peace.

A calming peace unlike anything Elsa has ever experienced is consuming her. It would have been so easy to let go, but a familiar voice called out to her. She immediately recognized the melody and opened her eyes.

"Ahtohallan?" Elsa whispered. She stepped forward, taking in her surroundings. There was no mistaking it. How she was teleported here, she has no idea. She stumbled slightly feeling light headed. The events from earlier flooded her memory. All of that searching, just to be led into a trap. She failed Viona, Arrendelle, and her family. She didn't want to think about what Hans has in store for them. Elsa punched a wall near her.

"I'm no guardian..." Elsa said with tears in her eye's.

A crack formed in the wall next to her and she jumped back startled. The ice split upwards shaking the room and revealed a feminine ice statue. Elsa blinked slowly watching the statue as it watched her. The aura coming from the statue was the same one she felt every time she visited Ahtohallan. "I – It's you! You were the one that called to me. You showed me all those memories! I don't understand? Why show yourself now?"

The statue did not respond. Instead, It began to walk towards her. Elsa backed up nervously. A faint rumble could be heard and cracks began to form around them.

"Although time is slower here, we are running out of it. You must join with me."

"Excuse me?" Elsa responded with a mixture of fear and confusion. She kept her distance, not understanding at all what is happening. "I am not letting you into my body! I don't even know what you are!"

The statue halted her movements. "You misunderstand. The same magic that created this fortress is within me. You are dying. Once we join, I will accelerate your magic maturity."

Elsa gawked at her. She tried to piece everything together quickly. There is just too much happening at once. Is this thing Ahtohallan that wants to help her, or is this a separate deity that lives in the frozen glacier? She needed to stop Hans and can't think of any other options. Elsa looked into the statues clear eyes. "Will I still be me?"

"I will only interfere if I feel it is necessary."

That didn't sound very reassuring, but what other choice does she have. Elsa allowed the statue to step close to her and hug her body. She melted into her skin, freezing her solid. The rumbling in the room stopped and she remained still for some time.

Elsa's fingers twitched and her frozen form came to life. She examined her clear body amazed.
