Anna and Elsa made their way to their cabin and sat down facing each other.
"Okay,' said Anna, "what do you need to tell me?"
"Right," started Elsa nervously, "the first thing concerns mother."
"What about mother?"
Elsa hesitated for a moment, "Mother was supposed to be the Fifth Spirit."
"Wait what!"
Elsa just nodded in response.
"But mother wasn't magical in anyway, other than how good a mother she was."
"That's true Anna, but being the Fifth Spirit wasn't about being magical, except in certain circumstances. It was about a connection between the two worlds and mother was to be that connection." Elsa paused then continued.
"Remember when the Northuldra first saw mother's scarf and Honeymaren said it belonged to one of the oldest Northuldra families?"
"Yes" responded Anna.
"Well, it was from mother's family that the Fifth Spirits came from, our Grandmother was one, our mother was supposed to be one and one of the reasons the mist descended onto the Enchanted Forest was because the spirits lost their bridge when mother rescued father and left the forest. The Spirits knew that someone special would be needed to break the mist and correct Grandfather's betrayal, hence why I got my powers, plus, it was as you said at mother and father's ship that it was a gift to because mother saved our father in an act of kindness."
Anna looked at Elsa trying to comprehend what she was saying when a thought suddenly came into her head.
"Wait, you said our Grandmother was a fifth spirit, our mother was supposed to be one and you are."
"Yes Anna, that means the next Fifth Spirit will be a daughter from one of us, more than likely you because, well you know."
"I'm not sure if that makes me happy," replied Anna, "I mean will my first daughter have powers too?"
"That I can't tell you, but chances are no, because I was the exception that I can find so far because of the exceptional circumstances."
"I don't know how Kristoff will handle this? I mean we haven't thought of children yet, I mean what if I only have sons, and wait, what do you mean most likely me, why not you Elsa? And no, I don't know"
"I can't answer the question in regards to your children if you only have boys, as for me, yes I can have a relationship like anyone else if I choose to, my powers won't get in the way, in fact I sense that spirits would rather it be me that provides the new Fifth Spirit, but you know, it's a little hard finding a companion who would understand all this, plus I have never been in a relationship, and after your experience with Hans, I am not keen to."
"I imagine so, but you can't base all relationships with what happened with Hans, look at me and Kristoff." responded Anna half smiling.
"Maybe you're right, however, there is one more thing Anna that concerns you when we get there."
"I'm almost afraid to ask?"
"Well," Elsa paused nervously, "seeing we were just mentioned him, but It deals with Hans."
"WAIT WHAT!"
"The memory of when you first met is there and despite all my efforts, I haven't been able to erase it, I mean neither of us want that memory."
"True, but why is that important, I want nothing to do with that swine."
"I know, but I'm afraid that reason it is not disappearing is because there is an unresolved issue there."
"What!" yelled Anna.
"Yes, I'm afraid it means that we have something to discover about him, something we don't know."
"Well, I have sometimes wondered why he did what he did, I mean, how can someone stoop so low to want to kill us for personal gain, maybe that's what were supposed to find?"
"Could be, but there's something there and we have to find it and it maybe upsetting, like discovering about grandfather's betrayal."
"Well, whatever it is, I doubt were going to think any different of him, except for maybe a greater loathing."
"That's true, I wish I had punched him too"
"Oh, that did feel good, would probably do it again if I saw him anyway enough about Hans, let's get back to the Fifth Spirit thing, so mother's side of the family, the girls that is, were the Fifth Spirit?"
"That's correct and will continue with us."
"Elsa why do you think you will be alone, I mean, other than the Hans thing?" Anna said with some concern.
"Oh, I'm not alone, I have the four spirits, I have my family and I have the Northuldra and Arendelle."
"I know that, but wouldn't you like a relationship? Children?"
"I don't really know; I think it would take someone pretty amazing for me to fall in love like you and Kristoff. I must admit, I have looked at you two sometimes with a little bit of envy, but right now my life is very fulfilled. As you know I have been a bit of a loner through my life."
"Yes, but part of that was forced upon you when we didn't understand your powers, especially Momma and Papa after the accident. I mean, I remember the night Papa told us about the Enchanted Forest and when we heard Mother's lullaby about Ahtohallan, which turned out to be the night when you accidentally struck me in the head and Grand Pabbie took away my memories of your magic, but you have told me that before that, even before the actual accident, we were playing together with you using your powers."
"That's correct, I really wish Grand Pabbie could restore your memory, this was one of the main reasons I wanted you come to Ahtohallan, so you could see your real memories, unfortunately though there's that Hans' thing as well."
"Well, we will know tomorrow morning." Smiled Anna.
"Yes, we will." Responded Elsa.
"I am looking forward to seeing what really happened before we were separated, I know I would have loved your magic, I know it."
"You really did, in fact we were playing Enchanted Forest just before Father told us the story of his experience there. I had created the Enchanted Forest and all the characters in it with my powers."
"Yeah, I remember us playing Enchanted Forest, but not with your magic."
"I know, Papa had Pabbie remove all memories of magic from you, later that night you couldn't sleep because of the Northern Lights and you woke me up and we built Olaf for the first time in the ballroom."
"In the ballroom, I wish I remembered that."
"That's when you got a little over enthusiastic and I slipped and accidentally struck you in the head with my magic and you had that white streak through your hair for all those years."
"Well, I am sort of happy I don't remember being struck and I must admit, there are times I miss that streak in my hair."
"Why?"
"Well, it was part of me, I actually liked it, it made me unique."
"You are unique Anna," Elsa said smiling, "there is no one else like you. You are the best sister I could wish to have, you are so supportive, you're a wonderful Queen, probably better than me and you're a wonderful wife to Kristoff."
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm a better Queen, the people loved you to as Queen and still do as the Fifth Spirit, I wish I could have seen you stop that wave hitting Arendelle, that would have been spectacular."
"As you say, I did the next right thing like you did bringing down the dam, we make a great team."
"We do don't you." Anna yawned "well I guess it's getting late, probably time we turned in."
"Yes, it's dark outside," replied Elsa, but then the sky lit up with the northern lights.
"Oh, look Anna," she said smiling at her sister, "the sky's awake."
"It certainly is Sis," Anna replied.
The two sisters than walked back onto the deck and took in nature's spectacular light show for a while before they both retired to their cabinets for the night.
