"Hehe, so, what's next?" asked Agnarr, as he saw Anna run her hand along her arms, squeezing out excess water from the fabric, as well as wringing out water from the skirt of her dress, before he also began to feel a heat from Anna.
"Hmm, I dunno..." replied Anna, reaching up to wring the water out of her hair. "Can't really do anything that would put you in danger since you're here."
"Really?"
"Yeah. When testing out my magic, my surroundings can get really hot." answered Anna, continuing to wring out water from her dress. "I've gone through a few dresses because of it; Hehe, as you've clearly seen with my close call here."
"Heh, right. So you've burned through your clothes on occasion?" asked Agnarr.
"Yep, my glass clothing came from necessity." answered Anna. "Completely burned all my clothes off once and I couldn't return to Arendelle naked after all."
"Hehe, no, that wouldn't be a good look for the Princess." chuckled Agnarr. "By the way, I've noticed your producing heat for some reason, why?"
"To quicken my clothes drying." answered Anna.
"Oh, clever."
"Yep." replied Anna, as she performed a few twirls, fanning out her skirt a little, allowing the heat to reach more area. "Elsa could just freeze the water and remove the ice, or now just remove the water itself, but I'm stuck with the slower, old-fashion, but still convenient, good old heat dry. I don't plan to do anything that makes a ton of heat though, at least, no more than I'm currently making."
"So did using Earth magic feel any different?"
"Hmm, that's a good question." replied Anna. "I don't think so, but I also don't really feel anything when I'm using fire."
"Really?"
"Yeah, well aside from when I first started using my magic; I'd get these sudden flashes of heat within me that Pabbie explained was a result of my unstable magic trying to balance itself after being sealed for so long." explained Anna, before she lifted her right hand and created a fireball hovering above her hand. "Aside from that, I feel some heat around my hand, but otherwise, I don't feel anything like my body heating up- well wait, that's not true, with me currently heating myself up to dry my clothes, I do feel the heat, otherwise, I don't feel anything."
"Huh, so you actually do feel heat?" asked Agnarr, before Anna dispersed her fire and lowered her hand.
"Yep, I can't burn myself with my magic." answered Anna. "And I'm apparently immune to all normal, non-magical fire, except for my clothes, of course; but I'm not immune to the smoke from fire, as I learned from our encounter with Bruni. So it's not like I can't feel the warmth of a summer day; same with Elsa, she can feel the cold, but-" explained Anna, before she paused and smirked, before she sang, "~But the cold doesn't bother her anyway!~"
"Hehe, I'm guessing that's part of Elsa's song you mentioned earlier?" asked Agnarr with a chuckle.
"Yep, just a tiny part."
"Well you're magic certainly gives you a lot of perks." commented Agnarr with a smile.
"Heh, it sure does." replied Anna, before she gasped in delight. "Oh! Speaking of perks; so far it hasn't been the most useful, but Elsa and I can combine our magic!"
"Oh, like working together?"
"No, no, I mean literally! We can send our magic into each other and our magic mixes together and we'll both have fire and ice." replied Anna, before she lifted her right hand again and created another fireball. "Like my fire would look solid, something you could actually touch and not stick your hand through. Elsa's ice would be on fire, but not melt. It's really awesome!" she added, before dispersing her fire.
"Wow, that sounds like quite a sight to see." stated Agnarr.
"It is! If Elsa feels like it, we can show you. Our magic mixing also affects our passive use of it; so Elsa's clothes changes to have streaks of fire in it and if I'm wearing my glass clothing, it'll have some ice on parts of it."
"Heh, that's a sight I'd like to see." replied Agnarr with a little chuckle, before Anna crosses her arms and lifted a hand up to her chin and commented to herself...
"Hmm, I wonder if us mixing our magic would allow us to share our Wind and Earth magic now..."
"So, is this little trip over?" asked Agnarr,
"Oh, no, no, not yet." answered Anna. "There's actually one thing I wanna do before we head back. I wanna try using Earth magic again; the first time could be a fluke. I wanna confirm than I can in fact use Earth magic."
"Understandable." commented Agnarr, before Anna walked by him and he followed, while Anna commented...
"Besides, what you asked about if I felt anything using Earth magic is making me wonder. It's weird that I didn't feel anything, but what WOULD I feel with Earth magic? I feel heat with fire, because that's what fire produces."
"Those vines were covered in fire though." commented Agnarr.
"Right, maybe that interfered with what I'd feel with Earth magic."
The two then returned to their previous location, where Anna's shoes still remained, as well as the two vine-like tendrils laying on the ground, which also didn't have a single burned spot.
"Huh, weird." commented Anna, walking up to the taller grass and moving her right foot through it. "The grass isn't burned, even though it was on fire."
"Could you have been using your fire, healing and Earth magic all at once?" asked Agnarr.
"I guess." answered Anna. "Anyway, lets see if I can repeat what I did." she added, before extending her right hand towards the vines.
Directing her magic towards the vines, Anna's heart raced when she saw the closer of the two twitch. She wanted to move it and a twitch, while small, was certainly movement.
"I moved it! Without fire covering it this time!"
"Did you feel anything?" asked Agnarr.
"Nope, still nothing." answered Anna. "But this is still progress!" she added happily. "My goal now is to lift at least one of them like I was doing earlier... come on..."
Focusing on the vine she managed to move, Anna directed her magic towards it, visualizing it's movement; which prompted it to twitch again, before slowly, beginning to rise, starting from the base were it emerged from the ground, mimicking a snake rising to intimidate a foe.
"Ha! I'm doing it!" declared Anna. "Doesn't seem to be as easy as before, but there's no fire!"
Slowly, Anna managed to lift the vine fully upright, wriggling just like before.
"I did it!" declared Anna again, happily as she quickly stepped up towards the wriggling vine and reached her right hand out towards it, which moved towards her hand and just like before, coiled around her hand.
Agnarr then joined Anna to her left moments later with a smile.
"Guess you're not just a Fire Princess anymore."
"Heh, nope! But I'm still more Fire than Earth. I've only managed a snake-like vine, not the sort of Earth moving feat I was expecting or hoping for; but hey, can't argue with progress."
"True, you can't rush progress." replied Agnarr.
"Right, plus, if I keep training, I'm sure I'll get to creating new land-oh or maybe I could even combine Fire and Earth! I wonder what I could do or create then."
"Hehe, well considering you came up with the idea of making glass clothing, I'm sure whatever you think of will be just as amazing or creative." commented Agnarr, which only urged a giggle from Anna, who continued to amuse herself with the vine-line tendril, coiling around her fingers, hand and wrist, even up her arm. "So, feel anything NOW, now that you seem to be getting used to your new power?"
"Hmm, no; nothing unusual anyway." answered Anna, before a small gasp left her as she pulled her hand from the tendril. "Oh, wait, I just had a thought." she added, before she stepped away from her father and returned to her shoes; however, Agnarr noticed the now usual heat that was coming from Anna faded as she walked away.
Anna was in fact, using her fire and earth magic at the same time without realizing it. That fact prompted a little smile from Agnarr, as Anna pulled the socks from her shoes and slipping her right foot into one; however, upon her bare second foot leaving the ground, yet to enter her shoe, the wriggling tendril fell limply to the ground.
"Well that answers that." commented Anna, placing her foot into her shoe. "I literally need to be in physical contact with the ground to use my Earth powers, as limited as they are right now."
"Yanno..." commented Agnarr with a smile as he walked up to Anna. "I feel I have to point out, you're still using your magic to dry your clothes."
"Yeah?" replied Anna curiously as her father pointed out the odd fact. "My clothes aren't fully dry yet."
"Yeah, but were you still drying your clothes while you were testing your new powers?"
"I..." started to answer Anna, before her eyes widened in the realization. "Whoa, you're right! I was using Fire and Earth at the same time and didn't even realize it!"
"That's an impressive show of skill with your fire magic." commented Agnarr.
"Yeah, it is!" replied Anna. "Hehe, Elsa better start practicing or I'm going to leave her behind magic-wise!" she added, which prompted a chuckle from Agnarr as well. "Hmm, but Elsa still has the more impressive feats though; like changing the freak'n seasons, on ACCIDENT."
"Being able to heal and revive is quite the feat as well." commented Agnarr.
"Yeah, but I think accidentally changing the seasons is more impressive; maybe not as useful as healing and reviving, but definitely more impressive."
"Hmm, well I'd agree to that." replied Agnarr, before he saw Anna sit on the ground and remove her shoes, before putting her socks on then her shoes again, then returning to her feet.
"Well, I'm ready to head back."
"Alright." replied Agnarr, before he and Anna began to walk towards the trail leading to town. "Thanks for letting me join you."
"I'm actually glad you joined me." answered Anna as she turned around and walked backwards as she smiled at her father. "It's nice to spend some time with you alone. Heh, and yeah, we don't agree on something; it does disappoint me that you don't support my relationship with Elsa, but we have time to work on it; and hey, maybe you'll come around eventually."
"Heh, maybe you two will as well." replied Agnarr with a smile, which prompted a sigh from Anna.
"Touché." commented Anna as she spun around and continued walking. "Anyway..." continued Anna. "As long as you don't do something crazy like trying to force Elsa from the throne, then we're fine." however, not hearing a reply from her father, Anna looked back to him curiously. "You're not planning on doing that, are you?"
"Honestly, the idea did come to mind after our initial talk." answered Agnarr.
"Seriously!?" gasped Anna, turning around to face her father with a frown as she stopped.
"BUT..." continued Agnarr. "I decided against it; as it would very likely cause many problems, Elsa likely wouldn't take it well-"
"And neither would I!" stated Anna.
"Right, and it would cause an immovable wedge to form between us that I'd like to avoid if possible." continued Agnarr. "So no, I have no intention or plan to force Elsa to step down; After all, aside from her questionable relationship choices, she's doing a fine job from what I've seen and read so far." he added, which prompted a clearly annoyed look on Anna's face, before she let out a heavy sigh.
"Questionable relationship choices, huh? You said you wouldn't fight us on this, but the comments you're making is seriously annoying and rude."
"I'm not going to sugar-coat my comments." stated Agnarr, "I won't fight you two, but I'm going to speak my mind."
"Ugh..." groaned Anna as she turned around and continued walking. "Guess we can expect these passive-aggressive comments from you about our relationship from now on."
"It's not passive-aggressive." commented Agnarr, "I'm speaking the truth, directly to you."
"Still, whatever you say isn't going to change our relationship." stated Anna. "Heh, if anything, it'll strengthen it; if we can handle our parents not supporting us and making rude comments, strangers saying similar stuff won't bother us at all." she added, however, Anna's expression saddened at the reality, she didn't have her father's support, who made that fact clear, it still greatly hurt and threatened to bring tears to Anna's eyes and try as she might, couldn't stop them from coming and trailing down her cheeks.
While Agnarr didn't respond to Anna's comment, he does see her stop and lift her hands to her face and sniffling.
"Hey..." commented Agnarr, quickly stepping up to his daughter left and placing a hand to her shoulder.
"I wish you weren't against us." cried Anna as she wiped the tears from her face, which prompted a saddened sigh from Agnarr, despite only moments from saying he would speak his mind, seeing his daughter crying in front of him, he had nothing to say that would cheer her up on the matter of his feelings about her relationship with Elsa. "Other people don't matter, but you and mother do." she added, before Agnarr quickly embraced her in a hug.
"Whatever choices you two make, even if I don't agree with them, I will ALWAYS love you two. That won't change."
While Anna appreciated the comment, she sighed in disappointed resignation, this just wasn't a choice her father was going to accept, perhaps ever. Pulling away and wiping her tears, she asked...
"I just wanna know; you don't agree with our choices, but would you defend us against someone else speaking bad about us because of our relationship?"
Agnarr looked a little surprised by the question, clearly thinking for a moment.
"I hadn't considered that. I certainly wouldn't accept someone speaking ill of you two, even concerning your current choices. So... yes, I guess I would defend you two; which puts me at a weird contradiction."
"Well that's a contradiction I'll accept." replied Anna with a little smile. "At least you'll defend us against someone speaking bad about us."
"Heh, well I can't have someone speaking ill of my girls." replied Agnarr, placing a hand to Anna's shoulder with a little smile. "You two are confused is all." he added, which prompted an annoyed frown on Anna's face and a sigh.
"Ugh, just when I think progress is being made you take two steps back."
"Hehe, we're both set in our choices."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Try to think of this from my point of view; I'm actually being quite accommodating; I'll speak my mind, but I'm not going to actively fight you two on this, yet you haven't made any steps at all."
"Well that's rude. What sort of 'steps' do you want from us?" asked Anna, placing her hands on her hips. "We're not going to make out in front of you or anything, we keep that stuff private. Plus, if we didn't come out to you, you wouldn't have even known about our relationship; so we've actually taken a big step in being honest with you and not string you along with some lie about a man who doesn't exist."
"You do make a fair point." stated Agnarr. "I may not like the truth, but I appreciate both of you having the courage to tell me the truth." he added, before Anna sighed and lifted a hand up to her fathers.
"It's not like I don't understand where your coming from though. In your eyes, what we're doing is wrong, sinful, disgusting... but I just don't see that in our relationship; I see something that's right, full of love, and beautiful, it's comforting too. So the comments you're making hurts; maybe not as much as saying our relationship needs to be fixed, but it hurts when you say we're just confused. I agree that our relationship would've turned out different if certain things didn't happen, but we can't change the past. I don't regret what my relationship with Elsa has become."
Following Anna's heartfelt comment, Agnarr closed his eyes as a lengthy sigh left him, before his lifted his hand up to caress Anna's cheek with a smile.
"Yanno, I think I finally get it."
"What?" asked Anna.
"My rude comments..." stated Agnarr, lowering his hand back to Anna's shoulder. "I don't see them as rude, more subtle nudges to steer you on the right path, but a thought just occurred to me; What if my Father was alive? What would he think of me dating or even marrying your mother? He'd probably be aggressively against it and make comments that I wouldn't like. It would only tighten my bond with your mother and drive us apart from my father. Something I'd like to greatly avoid with you and Elsa. But, if I keep my comments to myself, then it kinda feels like I'm giving up or condoning your choices, which I still don't." explained Agnarr.
"So, where do we go from here?" asked Anna.
"Heh... I'm not sure, but, will you allow me one last, possibly rude comment?"
"Sure." replied Anna with a sigh.
"I just hope your mother and I's presence in your lives again will fix- ahem, will allow you two to have a more normal relationship."
The remark prompts a smirk from Anna.
"Well good luck with that." commented Anna. "Elsa and I will show you both that our love isn't so fragile."
Agnarr simply smiled at the comment, before Anna resumed their walk, with Agnarr joining her. However, the two only get a few paces before they hear a females voice call to Anna, from the trees above, which while prompting a curious look upwards from Agnarr, heard a delighted gasp from Anna as she also looked up.
"Juleka!?" declared Anna happily.
"Yep." answered the fairy within the trees, out of sight. "Whose your friend?"
"It's my dad! Come meet him, you can trust him!" Answered Anna, before Agnarr asked Anna as he walked up to her left...
"A friend of yours?"
"Yeah!" answered Anna delightfully. "Juleka's a Fairy! Elsa and I meet her a little while ago."
"A fairy?" questioned Agnarr, wide-eyed. "They exist? Here in Arendelle?"
"We sure do!" answered Juleka as the white-haired fairy flew down from the trees to their right and hovered in front of the two, while Agnarr looked upon the hand-sized fairy in wide-eyed interest and he was clearly a little surprised by Juleka's obvious nudity, except for the bow she wore across her body with a quiver of arrows and a small bone blade strapped to her left ankle; everything else was in clear, unhindered and hairless view.
"Incredible!" commented Agnarr with awe as he gazed upon Juleka's small form, who giggled and gave a bow.
"It's nice to meet you, Your Majesty; I'm Juleka." greeted the Fairy.
"Agnarr." he replied. "King Agnarr, of Arendelle." he added, before lifting his right hand up, out of habit, before stopping and a chuckle left him, however, before he could lower his hand, he saw Juleka move towards his hand and reach out both of her small hands and grab his index finger and shake it, which prompted another chuckle from him. "Hehe, it's nice to meet you too, a wonderful surprise, really." he added, before, as if the shock of the meeting had passed, his gaze briefly drifted to Juleka's small chest and bare crotch; before catching himself and returning his gaze to her face. "You look so much like a normal human, just small and you have wings."
"Hehe, yep, that's what we fairies look like." replied Juleka, while Anna grins as she noticed her fathers wandering gaze and playfully jabs him in the side.
"Watch those eyes, what would mother think?" teases Anna.
"Hehe, go easy on me will you?" asked Agnarr with a smile. "I didn't expect to have a surprise meeting with a naked fairy." he added, which prompted a chuckle from Juleka.
"That's alright, Your Majesty; You can look all you want, I won't be offended." stated Juleka as she did a twirl and extended her arms out, proudly displaying her body.
"Hehe, I appreciate the offer, but no thanks." replied Agnarr, before Anna giggled...
"Ohhh, you appreciate the offer huh?" teased Anna, which prompted a chuckle from Agnarr as he placed a hand over her face and shook his head.
"I see where this is going; anything I say regarding her nudity, you're just going to tease me for." stated Agnarr, which urged a giggle from Anna.
"Don't feel bad." stated Juleka. "Her Highness' eyes also wandered occasionally."
"Oh really?" asked Agnarr, looking to Anna with a smile, who smirked in return.
"Anyway..." commented Anna. "It's great to see you again Juleka."
"Same here." replied Juleka, turning to face Anna. "I haven't seen you or the Queen in a while."
"Heh, yeah, a lot of stuff happened since we last talked." commented Anna, before she lifted her right hand up towards Juleka, offering her a place to sit, which she takes and lands on Anna's offered hand and sits cross-legged, while Agnarr's gaze briefly focused on the fairy's now still wings resting against her back and partly on Anna's hand, draped over her fingers.
"Me and Elsa went on an adventure that lead us to discover family we didn't know we had; fought elemental spirits; met the source of our magic and even retrieved the bodies of our parents that I was able to revive!"
"Whoa!" gasped Juleka in awe. "That's amazing!" she added, before gasping and looking back to Agnarr. "That's right, your parents were dead! I'm so happy for you!" declared Juleka as she looked back to Anna with a smile.
"Thanks." replied Anna.
"When can I meet your mother?" asked Juleka.
"Not for a couple of weeks at least." answered Anna. "She's spending time with her family."
"Oh, ok then." replied Juleka, before Agnarr asked...
"I have a question for you Juleka."
"What is it?" she asked as she looked back to him.
"Can I touch your wings? Or would that be inappropriate?"
"Sure you can, I don't mind at all." answered Juleka, before she lifted and spread her thin, dragonfly like wings to either side of her. "Just don't pull on them."
"Thanks." replied Agnarr, before he lifted his right hand up to the fairy's right wing and moved his index finger along its side near the tip, as Juleka kept her eyes on Agnarr's action, who pulled his finger away and saw a white powdery residue on his finger. "What's this?"
"My wings produce a powder that protects them from scraps and being caught on things."
"Hmm, makes sense I guess with you flying through the tree." commented Agnarr as he rubbed the powder between his finger and thumb, which to his surprise, seemed to produce more as he rubbed and it fell over his hand. "That's a lot more powder than I thought." he added, before shaking his hand and a small cloud of white powder fell from his hand.
"Heh, it's concentrated." replied Juleka. "It only take a little. You have big fingers so you got a lot." she added, before Agnarr saw the area of Juleka's wing that he rubbed was void of the thin lining of powder, like running ones finger along a dusty piece of furniture.
"Did I remove too much?" asked Agnarr. "There's a big empty spot on your wing."
"Nope, it's fine." answered Juleka. "Like I said, my wings produce it, so it'll go back to normal within the day. It can all be removed with no issue, I'll just need to be a little more careful flying close to branches or bushes."
"It must create a mess when your laying on your back or sleeping then." Commented Agnarr.
"It can." answered Juleka. "But flying usually removes the extra powder, or we can just remove it ourselves if it's an issue."
"So what happens if your wings get wet?" asked Agnarr. "Can you fly in the rain?"
"Technically, yes; I can fly in the rain, until a few raindrops hits me."
"Ah, right." replied Agnarr. "Given your size, a raindrop could be quite a hindrance."
"Yeah." replied Juleka. "And regarding wet wings, I could still fly, though it would take more effort, since our wings love to soak up water. Unfortunately though, the other fairy's have larger wings, like butterfly's and if they get soaked, they're not flying until they dry out; it just makes them too heavy to move effectively."
"Oh, so you have different wings from the others?" asked Agnarr.
"Yep." answered Juleka, lowering her wings now and turning to face Agnarr. "We fairies generally have one of two wing types; Mine, which are the long thin ones and the larger wider ones that look like the wings of butterflies, they can even have patterns and colors like a butterfly."
"Oh, really? Sound like a pretty sight." commented Agnarr.
"Yeah, it is." replied Juleka. "Heh, sometimes I'm a little jealous that I don't have such big and pretty wings. But hey, they both have their pros and cons, like being able to still fly with my wings being wet."
"So are there a lot of Fairies that live around here?" asked Agnarr.
"There's a few villages around." answered Juleka. "They're not too far for me, but the closest two are about thirty minutes away for you humans." she added, before Anna also added...
"Juleka's the leader of one of those villages."
"Oh, really?" asked Agnarr with a smile, while Juleka giggled with a little blush.
"Hehe, yeah, I am."
"Well, from one leader to another, I hope we can get along in the future." stated Agnarr.
"Me too!" replied Juleka happily, getting to her feet and lifting herself above Anna's hand, who lowers her hand. "I'd love it if we could get along with your people! I'm already on good terms with your daughters, having the Kings friendship would be great!"
"Hehe, I'd like to be friends too." commented Agnarr. "These last few days have certainly been eventful for me, with meeting new people and magical spirits."
"Same here." commented Juleka. "I get to meet the King!" she added, before Anna asked...
"So what have you been up to? Anything interesting happen?"
"Kinda..." answered Juleka, facing Anna as her delight faded some. "I've actually been hoping to meet you for the pass couple days to talk with you about something."
"Oh, well, ok then." replied Anna, sensing the more serious mood Juleka adopted, before Anna and Agnarr was a little surprised when Juleka briefly bowed to her and spoke...
"I'm so, so sorry for what happened between you and Amelia! I never wanted you to be in danger because of me!"
While Agnarr looked confused, the comment brought a smile to Anna's face.
"It's ok." replied Anna. "It wasn't your fault. I don't blame you for what happened."
"Thank you, but I disagree." stated Juleka. "If you didn't know me, she wouldn't have attacked you two."
"You can't blame yourself for Amelia's actions just because we're friends." replied Anna. "That's her problem, not yours."
"I just feel horrible that-" stated Juleka, before Agnarr interrupted...
"Wait, wait, wait... Sorry for interrupting, but you and Elsa were attacked, again!? What happened?"
"Well this particular incident happened before we made our trip." answered Anna. "We met another fairy a about a week ago while we were out here in the forest with Isabelle's mother; The fairy, Amelia, isn't on good terms with Juleka. She tried to trick us into thinking she was Juleka's girlfriend, who we've already met and tried to lead us somewhere. Elsa called her out on it and she got mad and tried to attack us, but Izzy's mom killed her to protect us. I'll spare you the details of how she killed her, it was pretty traumatic, but neither of us liked that Izzy's mother killed her. I quickly revived her after and we managed to talk a little before she left." explained Anna.
"Wow." commented Agnarr simply, wide-eyed, before Juleka commented...
"Wait, Amelia didn't tell me she tried to pass herself off as Vi."
"So you two are talking?" asked Anna.
"Well we weren't exactly not talking to each other." answered Juleka. "I ran into her and it looked like something was bothering her, so I was curious and asked. She just mentioned that she meet you two, tried to attack you and her death and revival. The death and revival really affected her. I'm glad though that you were kind enough to revive her. We may not be on the best-est of terms, but I don't want anything bad to happen to her."
"Well you're welcome." replied Anna with a smile. "I didn't want her to die. We can't try to have a discussion and understand each other if she was dead. She did though, tell us her side of the story and why she has such an issue with you." she added, which prompted a nervous chuckle from Juleka.
"Oh, did she?"
"Don't worry, I won't pry into your personal life and ask for details and reasons why, but her retaliation against you seemed pretty harsh; she clearly attempted to murder you and would've succeeded if we never met."
"Heh, well, Amelia's very... passionate, I'll say." replied Juleka.
"That's some passion." commented Anna, before Agnarr spoke up.
"Wait, Anna, so you saved Juleka? How did you two actually meet?"
"Well..." started Anna with a nervous chuckle. "Thanks to my curiosity and stubbornness. It started with a discussion I had with Izzy, telling me about herself and the topic of fairies came up and how she met one, Juleka, during a boat trip coming here. They were separated and once she told me that a fairy possibly lived near Arendelle, I just had to go looking, especially since I could use my magic to make locating a fairy easy." she explained, which prompted a small chuckle from Agnarr.
"You seriously went out alone into the forest, half an hour from Arendelle in search of fairy's?"
"Yes and no." answered Anna. "It was over a period of a couple of days, I'd go a little further each day and I'd take my horse. Anyway, on the last day, I was the furthest I'd been and thanks to my magic, I found a fairy hiding in the trees; Juleka's girlfriend, Vivian. I tried to befriend her and talk to her but she wasn't interested and told me to leave."
"Let me guess..." commented Agnarr with a smirk. "You didn't leave?"
"Heh, nope; me being excited to meet a real fairy, I tried to convince her I was nice and just wanted to be friends; she wasn't having it though and poisoned me; making me hallucinate a pretty horrible nightmare that I will not discuss, which caused me to set the forest on fire, before Elsa came and returned me to my senses, not before I mistakenly tried to kill her though."
"Seriously!?" gasped Agnarr, his previous amusement immediately dying upon hearing Anna tried killing Elsa, though Agnarr quickly turned his attention to Juleka, who quickly waved her hands in front of her defensively.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Before you get upset! I was deathly ill at the time and not involved! Vi was just on high alert trying to protect me and the village." stated Juleka, before Agnarr sighed and placed a hand over his face briefly.
"So many eventful things have happened to you two in a month." commented Agnarr.
"Heh, well you're right about that." commented Anna. "Anyway, with the issue resolved and Vivian learning I have healing powers, she begged me to heal Juleka, who I was out in the forest looking for anyway. Because of what she put me through though, I was reluctant to help and was even rude to her, but Elsa convinced me to help. So I waited for Vivian to bring Juleka to me and I healed her. That's how we met and became friends and I also invited her back to the castle to met Izzy, both of them were really happy to see each other again."
"Well, that's certainly a meeting you won't forget." stated Agnarr.
"Heh, nope."
"So what about this Vivian?" asked Agnarr. "Are you friends with her?"
"No." answered Anna. "Although we haven't met since that first time." she added, before Juleka spoke up.
"She's really sorry for what she did though. She was just stressed and worried about me and saw Anna as a threat. Before Anna, we don't exactly make a habit out of meeting random humans."
"Well, that is understandable." commented Agnarr. "And somehow, everything managed to work out. So why don't you normally interact with us humans?"
"Well, there's a couple answers to that." replied Juleka. "One is that Humans ARE a threat to us, with your size alone. Not all humans are bad though, I do know that; Anna is proof of that." she added, which prompted a chuckle from Anna. "Second, unfortunately we fairies have a history of tricking and harming humans."
"Really?" asked Agnarr. "How could you harm us?"
"Well..." started Juleka, looking a little unsure. "We fairies are magical; not like your daughters, but we can turn our bodily fluids into very effective and varied poisons that we can coat blades or arrows with."
"Oh, interesting. So you can defend yourself against a larger predator?"
"Yeah, but despite the word, not all our 'poisons' negatively affect someone. We could simply put someone to sleep or make them tell the truth."
"That's very intriguing."
"There are benefits to befriending a fairy though." stated Juleka. "If a fairy chooses, they could make special poisons- or maybe a better word would be potion; We could make special potions for someone or provide magically neutral bodily fluid for someone skilled in making potions to make just about any kind of potion they want."
"Seriously?" asked Agnarr. "Then why not become friends?"
"Well, not all humans are nice." answered Juleka. "Some seek to capture us for our poisons."
"Ah, I see." replied Agnarr.
"Right, plus, a captured fairy has very limited use; since, yanno, they're captured; won't exactly be offering any positive effects from their poisons." stated Juleka. "But back to my earlier topic; the harming humans, my previous village before I traveled here actually enjoyed it, but I didn't so I left; I wanted to get along with the humans. I saw no sense in making enemies of people so much bigger than us when we could work together. Didn't exactly make me very popular among my people." stated Juleka with a little saddened smile.
"Sorry to hear that." commented Agnarr.
"Me too." added Anna.
"Thanks." replied Juleka. "I was happy to find that the fairies that live here would rather avoid Humans; if they don't bother them, they won't bother the Humans, for the most part anyway; particularly after the whole freeze that happened with the Queen, we avoid your town and its people. Until we met Anna and her sister after all."
"Well that's good to hear." replied Agnarr with a smile. "Since you live here, it would be nice to be able to communicate and be friendly."
"Exactly." replied Juleka with a smile. "We don't need to be visiting each others villages constantly just to be on friendly, talking terms."
"Speaking of villages..." commented Agnarr, before he looked to Anna. "Anna, have you been to her village?"
"Nope, not yet anyway." answered Anna. "But I'm in no rush to. I'm sure me visiting Juleka's village would be a big deal."
"It would be." answered Juleka. "We've never had a human visitor. So I'd rather take it slow and spend a little more time with Anna before I invite her to my home with the others; No offense."
"None taken." replied Anna. "Have you mentioned me to the others in your village?"
"I have." answered Juleka with a smile. "Your sister too. There's some mixed reactions, some would like to meet the Queen and Princess, others are concerned if you're actually nice and if you're trying to deceive me."
"I'm not trying to deceive you at all." replied Anna with a smile. "But I get it, I got magic too, so better safe than sorry. I'm fine with taking things slow; heck, I don't even need to visit your village, I could meet the fairies of your village outside of it somewhere."
"That's a good idea." commented Juleka. "I'll run the idea by them." she added, before she and Agnarr was a little surprised when Anna suddenly gasped with delight.
"Oh! I just remembered! This talk of visiting and meetings reminded me that Izzy's mother is willing to meet you Juleka!"
"Really!?" gasped Juleka.
"Yeah. It was actually Izzy's mother who defended us when Amelia attacked us and killed her. Amelia may have actually helped you by calling you a human sympathizer, yanno, since other fairies don't like that you're trying to be buddy-buddy with us humans, it sorta weirdly validates you."
"That's great!" declared Juleka. "When does she want to meet?"
"We didn't set a date. I had to let you know about it first." answered Anna. "When would you like to meet her?"
"Anytime is good for me."
"Great. But how do I get in contact with you to set up the meeting?"
"Hmm, maybe I can talk this out with Izzy." suggested Juleka. "With your father being back, I'm sure you have a lot of catching up to do. I wouldn't want to take time away from that with something personal."
"I don't mind." replied Anna happily. "I've already reunited you with Izzy, I can help build a bridge between you and Izzy's mother." she added, before she felt her father's hand on her shoulder, directing her gaze to him before he spoke.
"Perhaps you've helped enough? Like she said, this is something personal, it's good that you helped spark a communication, but why not invite Juleka to the castle to meet Izzy and have them discuss a meeting time?"
"Hmm, maybe you're right." commented Anna. "I guess I don't need to be with them all during the meeting." she added, before Juleka commented...
"I'm free at the moment, I could join you two in returning to the castle to talk with Izzy."
"Alright." answered Anna. "We were on our way back home when you arrived."
"Ok." replied Juleka. "I'll meet you at the castle." she added before she flew up and into the trees.
Seeing her friend depart though, Anna quickly gasped and called out to Juleka.
"Hey wait! Juleka!"
Just a few seconds pass before the fairy returned.
"What is it?" asked Juleka, before she saw Anna look as her with delight.
"Seeing you fly away just reminded me of something awesome I learned to do since we last met!" replied Anna, before giddily declaring, "I can fly!"
"S-Seriously?" asked Juleka in wide-eyed surprise, before Agnarr commented with a smile.
"That's right, you did mention that while we were with the Northuldra, you couldn't display it because of the trees though."
"Right! I can soar through the air just like you can Juleka!" commented Anna happily. "It's sooooo awesome! Wanna see!?"
"Sure!" answered Juleka delightfully. "It'll be my first time seeing a HUMAN fly."
"Great, let's go to the water!" replied Anna, before she ran off back towards the shore, which Juleka happily followed, leaving Agnarr to chuckle at his daughters excitement before jogging after them.
Quickly reaching the shore, Anna hurriedly removed her shoes and socks, before she launched herself upward just a few yards above the water and a similar distance from the shore as fire was propelled from her hands and feet. Anna turned around with delight, seeing Juleka stop at the shore, looking on with awe, before her father emerged from the trees, jogging to a stop beside Juleka, looking on with awe as well."
"Ta-da!" declared Anna, before twirling twice.
"I'm very impressed!" declared Agnarr, speaking a little loud given the roar of the fire from Anna's hands and feet with her proximity. Juleka and Agnarr could both feel the heat Anna produced, but it wasn't intense enough to be a bother.
Juleka quickly flies towards Anna, hovering a few feet in front of her face and happily declared...
"That's awesome! You're actually flying!"
"I know, super awesome!" stated Anna. "I actually flew over an ocean to an island."
"How high can you fly?" asked Juleka.
"Really high; as high as I want! Oh, maybe I could fly with you sometime!" answered Anna, which earned herself a giggle from Juleka.
"Hehe, I'd like that, but you might be a little too fast for me."
"Heh, then you can hitch a ride then."
"Hehe, really? I can ride you?"
Watching from the shore, Agnarr simply smiled at the impressive sight.
"Only a month with her magic and she's progressed so much." commented Agnarr.
However, seeing Juleka fly to and land on Anna's right shoulder, apparently about to take the fairy for a ride, Agnarr's eyes widened before chuckling as he saw the sides of Anna's fluttering dress burning away, thanks to the proximity of Anna's hands to her flammable dress.
"Anna!" called out Agnarr with a smirk, before Anna, oblivious to her dilemma replied...
"Hey dad, I'm just gonna fly around a bit! You can go back if you don't want to wait!"
"I don't mind the wait..." answered Agnarr. "But I don't think your dress can!"
Agnarr saw his daughter curiously look down at her burning dress and a good laugh escaped Agnarr when Anna gasped and dropped out of the air and fell to the water with a splash. Fortunately for Juleka, she was able to react quick enough from Anna's fall to release her grip and remain dry, darting away from the splash of water.
Just a few moments pass before Anna breached the water's surface, treading it with a groan, before Juleka flew down with a chuckle.
"Perhaps you shouldn't wear clothes when using your magic." suggested the fairy.
"Heh, or maybe my glass clothing should be a regular thing." commented Anna. "I didn't have this problem during my trip."
"Hmm, that too. Or maybe we can fly naked together one day." stated Juleka, which prompted a chuckle from Anna, before Agnarr called to her...
"So what's the damage Anna?"
Following the question, Anna groaned and began to swim her way towards the shore, commenting...
"Not good."
Upon reaching the shallow water and walking out of it, Agnarr fought back a laugh upon Anna's lower body emerging from the water, the sides of her dress were completely gone up to her waist; more two-sided apron than a dress now which fully exposed her bare legs from the sides.
"Wow." commented Agnarr. "Well there's no saving that."
"Ugh! And I was nearly dry!" complained Anna, before stopping a few yards from her father and looking down to her ruined dress. "Now it's just two flaps of cloth."
"Well at least your still covered." offered Agnarr.
"Yeah..." sighed Anna, before she examined the extent of the damage, seeing how far up with went and gasped as her face turned bright red as she finally noticed the missing portion advance up to her waist, leaving her thighs, from the side at least, fully exposed, thus revealing her lack of underwear. "No! No! I lost my underwear!" gasped Anna and she quickly placed her hands to her sides, hoping to prevent her soaked halves of her dress from moving and exposing herself, while Agnarr and Juleka giggled. "This isn't funny!"
"It kind of is." commented Agnarr, before Juleka, hovering to Agnarr's left added...
"I agree. This seems to be a running thing for you."
"Well I don't want it to be!" complained Anna. "Not only did I have to return to town with a burned dress, but now I have to do it not fully covered and naked from the waist down; a strong breeze would have me flashing everyone!"
"Well that won't do at all." replied Agnarr. "Anything I can do to help?" he added, before Anna sighed and removed her hands from her sides and looked at her exposed hips and thighs.
"No... it would be better if you two return to the castle without me."
"What?" commented Agnarr. "How does that help you?"
"I'll just make myself a glass dress." answered Anna. "That'll require a lot of heat though, so it's safer for you two to head back, I'll just be a few minutes behind."
"Oh, well if it's just a few minutes, we can go wait for you on the trail. That should be far enough away, right?" asked Agnarr, before Juleka added...
"Yeah, it'll give your dad and I a little time to chat."
"Well, ok then." replied Anna. "See ya in a couple of minutes." she added, before Agnarr and Juleka gave a wave of their hands and departed into the trees, leaving Anna to look down to her ruined dress, followed by a heavy sigh. "I liked this one too."
Returning to the trail, Juleka was first to speak, hovering in front of Agnarr's face a few feet away, while Agnarr caught his eyes wandering again, focused his gaze on the fairies face...
"So you were dead, what was it like?"
"Heh, I'd rather not discuss that." answered Agnarr.
"Oh! Right, sorry; that's clearly a sensitive subject."
"I have a question for you though."
"Alright, ask away!"
"Earlier, you said you'd meet us at the castle, why not simply come with us?" asked Agnarr.
"Oh, well Anna figured it would be a safer idea for me not to just fly into town and cause a bunch of excitement; So I'd just fly high into the sky where no one could see me and wait near the castle until you two arrived."
"Oh, well that's odd." commented Agnarr. "I'd figure Anna would be excited to show you off-or uh, introduce you."
"Yeah, well there are two reasons for that; one is the demon that lives in your town, Izzy's mom, isn't very kind to fairies, unfortunately for good reason; I had a run in with her during my boat trip here and she nearly killed me, but I'm happy that Anna was able to convince her to give me a chance."
"Wow, I'm sorry to hear that." replied Agnarr.
"Heh, well like I said, unfortunately past actions by fairies hasn't painted us in the best light. Secondly, while I would like to get along with you Humans, like us fairies, I know not all humans are nice and if I would make myself known to your people, some may come searching for us and we've lived in peace so far, I don't want to blindly expose our people to a possible danger we can avoid."
"I see, very understandable."
"Heh, so I don't mind taking things slow." stated Juleka with a smile. "This way, if there's an issue, it can be resolved easier with less people involved."
"You're certainly right about that." commented Agnarr. "The more people involved in an issue, the longer it can take to resolve or the more complicated it can become." he added, before his gaze drifted from Juleka's face, to her chest and crotch, though quickly corrected himself to see Juleka grinning at him, before flying closer to him, within a foot of his face.
"If you wanna look, go ahead. It doesn't bother me." offered Juleka, which prompted a chuckle from Agnarr as he took a step back.
"I'll pass, thank you." commented Agnarr as he lifted a hand between them, hiding Juleka's nudity behind his hand, however, Juleka flew right up to his hand, grabbing on to his middle and ring fingers as she pressed her body against his hand.
"Oh come on, Anna isn't here, I won't tell anyone."
Following this remark, Agnarr released a nervous chuckle as his cheeks redden.
"Don't you have a girlfriend?"
"You're just looking, right?" asked Juleka, before flying above Agnarr's hand, exposing her body with a smirk. "Or does the King want more from this fairy? I'm not allowed to touch you, but you can touch me, if you like..." she added, before moving in front of Agnarr's hand and lowering herself to rest on the back on his hand with her legs spread, exposing herself to him.
Despite Juleka's bold offer, the nervousness on Agnarr's face faded before he sighed and stared at the fairy for a moment.
"I'll admit to my eyes wandering, you are attractive and I'm not used to meeting random naked women..." before he prompted a small gasp from Juleka as he lowered his hand, prompted her regain flight. "But a wandering gaze is all you'll get from me, until I get used to your nudity after-all; I have no desire to betray my wife."
"Jeez, that's harsh." commented Juleka with a smile. "A little examination isn't betraying your wife. Aren't you curious how my body compares to a human woman?"
"Based on what I see, the wings are the only physical difference, so no, I'm not curious." answered Agnarr with a smile, before Juleka shrugs her shoulders with a smile as well.
"Alright then."
"Are all fairies naked?" asked Agnarr.
"Nope." answered Juleka. "Some of us just like the freedom."
"And it's a normal thing?"
"Yeah, for the most part anyway. That's why I'm not bothered by wandering gazes, it's a normal thing. Heh, I actually kinda like it and when I notice, I like to poke; though it has led me to a few incidences, heh."
"Huh, really?" asked Agnarr with a smirk. "That poking wouldn't happen to be the cause of that fairy attacking my daughters, would it?"
"No, actually, well... I didn't poke first anyway." answered Juleka with a smirk, which only prompted a chuckle from Agnarr and shaking his head, before the two heard a rustling in the direction they left the trees from to see Anna walking towards them, now fully clothed in an eye-catching glass version of her previous dress, although lacking the blouse she wore under her earlier dress, so her arms were fully exposed.
"You look nice." commented Agnarr.
"Thanks." replied Anna with a smile, before Juleka asked...
"What happened to your other dress?"
"I burned it." answered Anna. "There was no saving it, so no point in bringing it back. So, ready to head back home?"
"Yep." answered Agnarr.
"I'll meet you two there." added Juleka, before she flew up into the trees.
"See ya in a bit." called out Anna, before she and Agnarr departed down the trail back towards town.
