A/N: And now, the final chapter of the story, the coup de grace, the epic confrontation. So epic, in fact, that it, in a sense, mirrors one of the most famous duels in one of Disney's most famous universes (not exactly mind you, but still). If you still don't know what it is based off of, I'll give you a hint at the end. :) But I'll warn you, things will get dark. But to what extent, I can assure you it won't be too dark. Also, so no one gets confused, this final chapter is the 10th one in this story with the prologue being the 1st chapter. And apparently, I mistook a few things. So, I'm fixing them. :)
Disney's Frozen II: Rise of the Guardians
Chapter 9: "The Next Right Thing"; Epilogue
The next morning, it was very cloudy, albeit with a few thunderstorms closing in as thunder rumbled. Sad as they were over Smolder's passing as a result of Anna's own, they had to move on as they knew something had to be done to save the forest, but Elric, on the other hand, seemed far from moving on as he silently wept. Concerned for him, Elsa, Lizzie, Iduna, Agnarr, and the children, especially Olaf and Aksel, went over to him, although not too close.
"What am I supposed to do now…?", Elric sobbed slightly before Aksel squeaked sadly as it then jumped over to his shoulder.
"There's only one thing we can do, Elric.", Iduna responded.
"And I think we all know what that is.", Agnarr responded before Elric realized what they were getting at.
"The next right thing…", Elric realized, ceasing his already calming sobs before he then started singing as he then eventually went for the exit with Elsa and the others following him out as they stood tall on the edge of the cliff, but not before it showed each flash of most treasured memories from their last adventure all the way up to their current one, ranging all the way from Elric, Anna, and Elsa's bedtime story involving true events up to when they hugged Anna and Elsa for what may be the last time before flashing back to the present.
Elric: I saw the sun begin to dim
And felt that winter wind blow cold
A man learns who is there for him
When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold
I follow you around
I always have
But you've gone to a place I cannot find
This grief has a gravity
It pulls me down
But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
"You are lost, hope is gone
But you must go on
And do the next right thing"
Can there be a day beyond this night?
I don't know anymore what is true
I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
The only star that guided me was you
How to rise from the floor
When it's not you I'm rising for?
Just do the next right thing
Elsa: Take a step, step again
It is all that we can to do
The next right thing
Elric: I won't look too far ahead
It's too much for me to take
Lizzie: But break it down to this next breath
This next step
This next choice is one that you can make
Alexander: So we'll walk through this night
Emily: Stumbling blindly toward the light
Cathrine & Carter: And do the next right thing
All: And with the dawn, what comes then
When it's clear that everything will never be the same again?
Elric: Then I'll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing
Elric & and Lizzie: And we will go back home,
and we will go back home, home again
"Lizzie. About yesterday before when we were on the river…, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was just so angry over what happened and now…", Elric began.
"It's okay, Elric. You don't have to apologize. It happens to the best of us.", Lizzie assured, making Elric give a slightly sad smile.
"So, how do we destroy that big dam?", Cathrine asked, gesturing to the dam overhead, which also happened to show a big thunderstorm on its way over there.
"Good question… Lizzie. Remember when we saw those earth giants across the river?", Elric asked.
"Oh, my. That is a good question. Speaking of questions, did you know that a strong thunderstorm can travel with winds up to 58 miles per hour?', Olaf asked.
"Not sure why you'd bring that up.", Carter puzzled.
"Wait. You're not really gonna…", Lizzie began.
"What other choice do we have?", Elric asked.
"He's right. It may be the only way to free this forest.", Elsa responded.
"Yeah, but…", Lizzie began.
"Listen. If there is one thing I learned as king, it's this. It's not the houses, villages, or castles that make the kingdom. It's the subjects. In a sense, we are Arendelle.", Agnarr responded.
"Really?", Cathrine asked before getting picked up by Iduna as Aksel then jumped over to her with a squeak.
"Yes, dear.", Iduna responded before Cathrine giggled as she was then tickled slightly by the nose with Elric grinning briefly at the sight before taking a deep breath.
"Thank you. Now, let's get going.", Elric urged.
Later, he, Elsa, Lizzie, Iduna, Agnarr, and the others travelled down the hill and returned to the river where a few earth giants resided before Elric turned to the children.
"Children, you might want to cover your ears.", Elric warned before all four covered their ears with Elric then shouting to the earth giants.
"Wake up!", Elric shouted, but to no avail as it didn't even stir before shouting again, but louder than last time.
"WAKE UP!", Elric shouted before this time, the earth giant finally stirred awake and then started getting up only to tumble toward the other earth giant and get kicked back toward the wall before he then looked at Elric and grew angry as he started getting up.
"Yeah, that's it. Everyone, get ready to run. Come and get us! Come on!", Elric shouted as he started running just as the earth giant narrowly missed him and stood up completely as did his two other friends before roaring at the ground, even shaking Elric off a bit to a point that he fell to the ground.
"Yeah, that's it! Keep on coming!", Elric urged before he stood up and continued running just before one of the earth giants lifted the boulder and tossed it at Elric only for it to overshoot him and miss him.
"Okay. That worked. This way, everyone!", Elric spoke before he and the others continued running as the earth giants stomped toward the dam, neither one knowing that Kristoff and Matthew noticed them close by, much to their surprise.
Meanwhile, Mattias then noticed Elric, Lizzie, and the others leading the Earth Giants toward the dam.
"What? No, no, no, no. They're leading them to the dam!", Mattias spoke in worry before running out toward them.
Meanwhile, however, Runeard saw what he saw and became twice as threatened, enough to get angry.
"No... They can't! They mustn't!", Runeard grunted.
Back at the forest, the earth giants got closer toward the dam, and unfortunately, dangerously closer to them until Emily tripped and landed on the ground, alarming Aksel, who squeaked as he repeatedly jumped in Cathrine's hands as she flew in midair.
"What's wrong, Aksel?", Cathrine asked as she turned to notice Emily about to be stepped on by the earth Giant with a gasp with Elsa, Elric, and Lizzie noticing this as well.
"Emily!", Elsa, Elric, and Lizzie shouted in worry after noticing what happened and what was seemingly about to.
"Mama! Uncle Elric!", Emily shouted in fear just before Cathrine swooped in and narrowly rescued her before she could be stepped on, much to her relief.
"Emily, are you okay?", Cathrine asked.
"I am now.", Emily assured before the two then noticed Elric and Lizzie about to get stepped on themselves.
"Mom, Uncle Elric, Look out!", Carter shouted.
"Oh, no.", Elric spoke before suddenly Kristoff and Matthew appeared and saved the two just as narrowly while Alexander rode across one of the boulders and picked Iduna and Agnarr up with Carter, Olaf, and Elsa with him.
"Kristoff!", Lizzie shouted.
"Matthew!", Elric spoke in surprise and relief.
"Papa!", Carter and Emily smiled in relief.
"Nice timing.", Elsa grinned.
"We're here. What do you need?", Matthew asked.
"To get to the dam! And step on it!", Elric urged.
"You got it!", Kristoff responded.
"Thank you!", Lizzie responded before they all charged for the dam, leading the earth giants onto it as the storm finally reached the dam and engulfed it with heavy rain, massive lightning, and heavy winds, narrowly avoiding a tree headed for them before they arrived at the wall of the rock near the dam.
"Help us up!", Elric urged before he and Lizzie started to climb the edge.
"We'll meet you around!", Matthew assured as he and Kristoff helped Elric and Lizzie up and they managed to get up only to see in their path, a concerned Mattias, and the guards as lightning struck far behind.

"Lieutenant Mattias.", Lizzie spoke.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?", Mattias puzzled.
"The dam has to go. It's the only way to break the mist and free the forest. You of all people must know that by now, Runeard.", Elric urged.
"But we've sworn to protect Arendelle at all costs.", Mattias responded.
"Even at the cost of the lives of the ones we cherish most?!", Elric retorted in response.
"What do you mean?", Mattias puzzled.
"Arendelle has no future until we make this right! King Runeard betrayed everyone!", Lizzie added, making Runeard's heart practically drop in shock as he saw what was going down.
"How do you know that?", Mattias asked.
"My sister gave her life for the truth.", Elric urged.
"Please. Before we lose anyone else.", Lizzie pleaded.
Pause Hunchback of Notre Dame Music: "And He Shall Smite the Wicked" (1:47/3:32)
After a moment, Mattias and the other guards then began tapping their shields loudly with their swords, attracting the Earth Giants' attention as Elric then ran up to the middle of the dam just as the giants started launching their boulders.
"Look out!", Mattias urged before getting one of his men out of the way, narrowly dodging a boulder just as Elric finally made it to the middle of the dam.
"Destroy the Dam, come on! Give it everything you've got!", Elric shouted before Runeard then suddenly appeared from behind and pushed him back before Elric gave a glare at Runeard, who gave a similar glare back.
"I won't let you ruin everything I built for the sole purpose of weakening our enemies.", Runeard only responded.
"What enemies? The ones you made by attacking someone who wanted to be allies?!", Elric retorted.
"They were a threat, because they followed magic, something that would end my reign as king!", Runeard shouted.
"No! That's not what they wanted! All the Northuldra wanted was peace with their neighbors. And what you did back then, your attack, only led to all of this suffering! But it's not too late to change things. To be better.", Elric shouted in response.
"It is already too late. For you and everyone you care for.", Runeard only retorted.
Resume Hunchback of Notre Dame Music: "And He Shall Smite the Wicked" (1:47/3:32)
"Then, I'm afraid you leave me no choice…, your majesty.", Elric responded before unsheathing his own sword.
Then, right after lightning struck again with booming thunder, the two swordsmen lash out at each other, beginning a ferocious swordfight. Clash after clash, Elric seemingly had the upper hand for a time until Runeard pushed back, forcing Elric on the defensive just as Matthew, Kristoff, Cathrine, Alexander, Carter, Emily, Olaf, and Aksel arrived just in time to see Runeard overpower Elric with a knee to the gut, making him collapse into the ground.
"Elric!", Lizzie shouted before running over to him.
"Lizzie, no!", Kristoff shouted.
'Lizzie, wait!", Elsa urged as she followed close by.
Meanwhile, Runeard stepped forward toward Elric.
Pause Hunchback of Notre Dame Music: "And He Shall Smite the Wicked" (2:21/3:32)
"I did not come this far to let you or anyone in your tainted bloodline ruin everything I worked so hard to build!", Runeard shouted, winding up to deliver a fatal blow to Elric, who barely started to get up.
"The forest will be freed from this perpetual curse you've wrought by attacking the Northuldra leader all these years ago! It has to be!", Elric urged.
"You're not fit to be king of Arendelle.", Runeard retorted before lowering it to strike when it finally hit, much to everyone's shock and horror.
But when Elric opened his eyes, he grew puzzled about what happened as it didn't hit him before he finally saw what everyone else saw in horror: his own wife struck by the blade as it hit her in the back instead, making him gasp in shock as well as he even gasped shakily.
"Lizzie!", Emily shouted in horror as she ran over to her, shedding tears in both fear and sadness as Runeard gave a glare toward her.
"No…", Elric spoke sadly before that sadness then turned into rage as he held on tightly to his sword, the rage rising up until…, he explodes.
Resume Hunchback of Notre Dame Music: "And He Shall Smite the Wicked" (2:21/3:32)
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", Elric shouted in rage as lightning struck wildly behind him, attracting Runeard's attention before Elric charged toward his opponent with a roar and did not hesitate to slash at him repeatedly in a rage (up to 4 times), although Runeard blocked those times in desperation, right before Elric roared again and kicked him in the gut twice as hard before he gave one more roar with a thrust, knocking his sword off his hands, casting Runeard's blade into the waters of the dam.
"No…!", Runeard spoke in shock.
Meanwhile, Matthew turned to the Earth Giants.
"You heard him! Destroy the dam! Throw your boulders!", Matthew shouted before the Earth Giants then tossed their boulders toward the dam, not only starting to break it apart, but also shaking it as well, making Elric tumble for a moment before he got his balance back.
"That's it.", Matthew spoke before meanwhile, Elric was scraping his blade against the ground, sparks flying out until he got close enough.
"Go ahead... Slay me. It won't change anything. Much less bring your friend back.", Runeard spoke, angry with his defeat.
"Well, isn't that a shame?", Elric only responded darkly before raising his sword as lightning struck behind him.
"And He Shall Smite the Wicked and plunge them into the watery grave!", Elric shouted in rage with Runeard gasping in fear, if not shock, as his eyes widened.
"UNCLE ELRIC, NO!", Emily shouted before Elric then turned back to see everyone except Lizzie looking at him in worry and with bated breath before his rage then diminished slightly as his panting even slowed down and he looked back at his sword and then Runeard before continuing to finish the job with a roar as he then struck down.
Pause Hunchback of Notre Dame Music: "And He Shall Smite the Wicked" (3:10/3:32)
But when he did, the sword was only etched into the ground and Runeard's cape with it, much to his puzzlement.
"What…? What are you doing?", Runeard asked, trying to get free, but to no avail, as thunder rumbled.
"I won't kill you. But if you love Arendelle so much…, then you can die with it.", Elric responded just before lightning then struck Elric's sword, causing the dam to break apart with Runeard falling down while Elric, surprised and startled by the lightning blast as he was, then started hoofing it, knowing that the dam will no doubt collapse.
Resume Hunchback of Notre Dame Music: "And He Shall Smite the Wicked" (3:10/3:32)
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!", Runeard shouted in defeat as he fell down before he was now lost forever in the churning flood.
As for Elric, he ran as fast as he could to avoid plummeting to his death and jumped off before it could give way, only to be unlucky, that is, until Mattias grabbed his hand.
"Mattias…!", Elric spoke in surprise.
"I got him.", Mattias spoke just as Matthew arrived and helped him up as well.
"Elric!", Matthew spoke, holding out his hand for him before Elric took it.
"Hang on.", Mattias spoke before he and Matthew both helped him up to the dam with Elric panting heavily.
Meanwhile, the dam finally burst into pieces, the water then splashing down like a massive flood.
End Hunchback of Notre Dame Music: "And He Shall Smite the Wicked"
At the same time, a bright snowflake with light blue, blue, purple, and pink crystals appearing appeared in the stormy sky as Burni, the Earth Giants, and even Gale noticed in awe while a pile of ashes started to glow bright orange and Lizzie started to regain consciousness with a weak groan.
"Lizzie…! You're okay!", Emily shouted in glee before hugging her.
"Ow! Ow…! Easy…", Lizzie groaned.
"Oops. Sorry.", Emily apologized before Elric then turned to notice her.
"Lizzie!", Elric shouted as he rushed over to her.
"Elric…?", Lizzie asked.
"The dam's just broken now. The forest will be freed now.", Elric assured.
"But…what about Arendelle?", Lizzie asked.
"It's like father said. It's not the houses, castles, or villages that make the kingdom. It's its subjects. And as long as they are safe, Arendelle is safe.", Elric responded in assurance.
"That's good…", Lizzie grinned.
Meanwhile, in Ahtohollan, Anna unfroze before then falling through the breaking ice and falling into the water just as Nokk appeared and saw her.
Play Frozen Music: "Sorcery" (2:30/3:20)
At Arendelle, however, the floods rushed in toward the fjords, even flooding past the trees on its way there before eventually, as the citizens watched in shock and awe, the floods caught up to the whole area and completely destroyed the area, villages, and even the castle as all of it was then washed away by the floods, destroying everything in sight before the entire kingdom is now flooded and ruined before the flood was now over, much to their shock and worry.
Back at the forest, though, the mists finally started to lift and the thunderstorm then lightened into a light shower as the sun started shining its rays down, the clouds moving away with a rainbow forming with Gale even lifting Burni up in joy.
End Frozen Music: "Sorcery"
"Oh, look. A rainbow. Say, did you know that…?", Olaf asked.
"That's nice and all, but could you please try and not ruin the moment?", Alexander asked.
"Oh. Okay.", Olaf responded.
"Look at the sky. I just didn't realize there so much of it.", Ryder spoke in surprise.
"34 years...", Mattias began.
"5 months...", Yelena added.
"And 23 days.", Mattias finished before both turned to each other and then held each other by the arms with Sven and the other reindeer riding out into the lush landscape in joy as Elric and the others watched joyfully.
Then, as soon as all the reindeer circled around each other, a ruby-colored symbol of the Northuldra appeared, catching Elric's attention as well as Lizzie's before the two then saw where it was headed.
"What…?", Elric puzzled as he and Lizzie (weakened as she was) followed before Iduna, Agnarr, Cathrine, Alexander, Emily, and Carter then followed and arrived at the same spot as Olaf and Aksel caught up as well just in time to see none other than Anna riding on Nokk, who neighed, much to the new king and queen's shock before the two then got down as the rest followed with Anna getting of Nokk with a grin.
"No… It can't be…", Elric spoke in surprise.
"Is it really you?", Lizzie asked.
"Elric.", Anna grinned as she stretched her arms out, making Elric start to sob as he ran over to Anna and hugged her tightly with Iduna and Agnarr grinning from the sight.
"Mom!", Cathrine shouted as she then started running towards her with tearful joy as Anna noticed after a moment.
"Mama!", Cathrine shouted before jumping up and hugging her with tearful giggles with Elric starting to cry himself, having been through so much already in just one day.
"I thought we lost you…!", Elric sobbed.
"Lost me? You saved me, again. With them.", Anna responded as she wiped his tears away with her thumb.
"I did?", Elric asked, starting to calm down from his sobs.
"You did what was right, Elric. For everyone.", Anna responded.
"Well, I…had a little help.", Elric responded before Anna noticed Lizzie tending to something in her back.
"Is something wrong?", Anna asked.
"She nearly sacrificed herself to save me from Runeard when we tried to smash the dam.", Elric responded, making Anna gasp.
"Oh, dear! Where's the injury? I can patch it up real quick!", Anna offered quickly.
"But I'm okay, guys. Really, I…", Lizzie responded before falling faint as she fell with Cathrine catching her.
"Yep. She's woozy.", Olaf guessed.
"Uh…, yeah. Better get her patched up.", Elric suggested before Anna nodded and did not hesitate to work her magic, literally, in order to cauterize her wound.
"Ngh….! Was that how it felt for you when you were stabbed earlier?", Lizzie asked.
"Yep. And it wasn't pretty.", Elric responded.
"So, did you find the fifth spirit?", Emily asked to Anna, who then smiled in response, making her gasp.
"You are the fifth spirit. You're the bridge.", Emily realized.
"Well, actually, a bridge has two sides. And a mother had two daughters.", Anna responded.
"Wait, so that means…, that you two are both halves of the fifth spirit.", Elric realized.
"Yep. We did this together, after all. And we'll continue to do this together.", Anna responded just as she finished cauterizing Lizzie's wound.
"Together.", Elric grinned.
"So, how bad is it?", Lizzie asked.
"The damage was bad, but you're lucky the wound didn't bleed too fast. You should be okay in a few hours once it heals. Just try to take it easy until then, okay?", Anna assured.
"Noted.", Lizzie nodded just before Kristoff and Matthew arrived.
"Anna! Lizzie! You're both okay!", Kristoff shouted before running over to Anna and hugging her.
At the same time, Matthew and Sven ran over to her as well.
"You look different. Did you cut your hair or something?", Kristoff asked, making Anna giggle.
"Or something.", Anna responded.
"Oh.", Kristoff understood.
"Elric, I need to ask you a question.", Anna spoke.
"Okay. And what's that?", Elric asked.
"Do you wanna build a snowman?", Anna asked.
"Wait, what?", Elric asked before Anna thought back with the ashes then started to move on their own into a sort of similar force and then started going toward the same spot near Elsa and the others.
"Olaf always said that water has memory. I wonder if the same could be said for fire.", Anna spoke before she then reformed Smolder, whose spark reignited as her eyes then fluttered open.
"Anna..? Elsa… Kristoff, Matthew, Elric, Lizzie, Sven, everyone! You all came back!", Smolder spoke happily as they all hugged him as Aksel gave a happy squeak.
"I love a happy ending! I mean I presume we're done. Or is this putting us in more dangerous situation gonna be, a regular thing?", Olaf asked.
"Nope.", Anna assured.
"We're done. Matter of fact, when we get back, we could rebuild the castle and make it better than ever. No secrets, no deceit, and with the addition of new rules, at that. Everything's as it should be now.", Elric grinned.
"Well, almost as it should be.", Anna responded.
"What does that mean?", Cathrine asked.
"Elsa, do you want to show him or…?", Anna asked.
"Yes. I want to show you something.", Elsa responded before she then sent out a soft flurry of snow, which then took the form of Iduna and Agnarr from right before they left for Ahtohallan, much to everyone's surprise.
"Darling, I've been thinking. It might be time to tell Elsa and Elric about Anna. I can't bare keeping them shut out anymore. They're maturing now. They can be responsible.", Iduna suggested.
"It's not Elsa and Elric I'm worried about. What if we let them get close again and the feelings get too much for Anna? Joy brings her powers out as strongly as fear.", Agnarr responded.
"But if anyone can find a way to help her, it's Elsa and Elric.", Iduna responded, making Elric widen her eyes.
"You may be right about that. There's not much those two can't do", Agnarr agreed.
"Their love could hold up the world.", Iduna added before Elric started to shed joyful tears again.
"Lucky for the world. Okay. We'll tell them when we return.", Agnarr responded before the memory the two then hugged each other and the memory stopped there as it hten blew away.
"Mother…, Father…, thank you.", Elric thanked, turning to the real Iduna and Agnarr from nearby just before hugging them and Anna.
"Thank you all so much for that.", Elric grinned.
"They believed in you, Elric. And so do we.", Anna responded, gesturing to herself and Anna before Elric realized something.
"You're not going back, are you?", Elric asked.
"Ahtohallan changed us.", Elsa responded.
"The thing is, we don't know how the forest and the spirits need us now, but we want to be there when they do.", Anna added.
"You two finally found your place. That's good. We'll be okay. Because…, I think we finally understand ours.", Elric assured before he realized something.
"Although…, we may need help with the repairs first.", Elric realized.
"Yeah. Think you can help out with that at least?", Lizzie asked.
"Well, we'll see what we can do.", Anna responded with a grin.
"Well, I still don't understand what transformation means, but I feel like this forest has really changed us all.", Olaf commented.
"Oh, it did, Olaf. And for the better.", Elric grinned.
Later, time passed and the kingdom of Arendelle was now rebuilt into a better kingdom with both Arendellians and visiting Northuldra coming to visit the castle, prosperous as ever before Elric and Lizzie then notice Sven in a bow tie.
"Well, looks like someone's starting to look nice.", Elric spoke, impressed with the look before Olaf cleared his throat, catching their attention up to a point that the two noticed Olaf in a dress as was Smolder, albeit fireproof for her case.
"What the…? Olaf? You, too, Smolder?", Elric puzzled.
"Charmed, I'm sure.", Olaf responded.
"Aw. How'd you find the time to dress up?", Lizzie grinned.
"Well, Emily was a really good dress-up artist. I just can't believe she managed to send it all the way from Northuldra for us.", Smolder grinned, gesturing to Emily, who happened to be next to Carter.
"Well, it's definitely charming.", Lizzie grinned before she and Elric then went over to Mattias, who was speaking with his wife.
"What is this crazy magic called again?", Mattias asked.
"A photograph.", Halimah responded.
"Photograph. Huh. We look good.", Mattias spoke.
"Hello, Halimah. General Mattias.", Elric greeted.
"Uh, your majesty. I'll be right back. You can look at our photograph while I'm gone.", Mattias smirked before Halimah giggled with even the general laughing as well before snorting.
"I'm just kidding. How am I doing?", Mattias asked.
"You're doing fantastic.", Lizzie responded just as all the Arendellians and Northuldra that are visiting, even Iduna and Agnarr themselves, gathered around.
"Citizens! In light of recent events that have come to pass, we hereby dedicate this statue to my grandparents, Iduna and Agnarr!", Elric spoke as he and Mattias unveiled the statue of the two when they were young as everyone applaused.
"Our lands and people now connected by love!", Lizzie added before Gale arrived.
"Oh, hi, Gale. Do you like it?", Lizzie grinned.
"Oh, do you mind? We got a message for Anna and Elsa.", Elric spoke, holding out a message, which was then lifted up by Gale, who then delivered that message all the way from the fjords up to the forest where Anna got it with Cathrine and Alexander eager about it as well as Emily and Carter.
"Thank you.", Elsa grinned before she then opened the message and read aloud.
"What is it, Mommy?", Cathrine asked.
"Yeah, what's it say?", Alexander asked.
"Yeah, don't keep us in suspense.", Emily added.
"'Charades, Friday night. Don't be late. And don't worry. Arendelle's doing just fine. Keep looking after the forest. I love you two.'", Anna read.
"Aw. We love you, too, Elric.", Anna grinned.
"So, let me guess. Another charades game?", Matthew asked as he and Kristoff walked in.
"Why not? It's a fun game.", Anna responded.
"Yeah, it's good.", Carter added before Elsa turned to Gale, who then arrived.
"Hey, Gale? We're going for a ride. Wanna come?", Elsa asked before it then spun around with Nokk appearing from the water and heading over to her.
"Ready?", Anna asked before Elsa then coated Nokk in ice, making him look more like a snowmare before he neighed while trotting around a bit with Anna and Elsa riding Nokk across the snow while Cathrine, Alexander, Emily, and Carter flew in midair (the latter 3 getting lifted by the former), passing by the Earth Giants as well as a herd of reindeer with Burni following them for a time with Elsa treating him to some of her snowflakes before making a snow pile for Burni to get comfortable in with Nokk riding across the frozen ice lake toward the castle with Anna, Elsa, Cathrine, Alexander, Emily, and Carter grinning with the four children laughing.
Later, Olaf was acting out a story in the ruby-colored ice palace in the North Mountain as he vocalized the voice with him and Smolder acting in various voices..
"Show yourself! RIGHT NOW!", Olaf urged, portraying Elsa.
"Elsa, Anna, be who you are.", Smolder spoke as Iduna.
"Oh, we will, Mama, we will!", Olaf as Anna responded before speaking in his normal voice while falling backwards.
"Anna's dead.", Olaf spoke.
"Smolder's dead.", Smolder added while she, too fell backwards before then showing Olaf rocking back and forth weakly.
"Elric cries.", Olaf spoke before it then showed him and Smolder fighting each other as the former was Elric and the latter was Runeard.

"I will not let you get away with this!", "Elric" shouted before then clashing "swords" with "Runeard", making her fall off as she shouts.
"No!", "Runeard shouted before it then showed Olaf doing an explosion pose with his arms.
End Hunchback of Notre Dame Music: "And He Shall Smite the Wicked" (3:20/3:32)
"Boom! Curse broken.", Olaf smirked before it then showed Smolder rising up while sitting up.
"Magic courses through my veins again and then…", Smolder spoke as she sat up before gasping.
"We live!. And so do you.", Smolder grinned before it showed that the audience was none other than Marshmallow, Flame Brain and a bunch of little, living fireballs as well as an equal amount of little snowmen.
"Whoa! We live! WE LIIIIIIVE!", Flame Brain shouted before he laughed as the little fireballs and snowmen cheered.
"Good story, ahh.", Marshmallow grinned.
A/N: So, what'd you think of the story? Pretty great, huh? And don't worry. I plan on releasing a different version of "Frozen Fever" sometime during this September. But for now, I got some stories to catch up on as well for a little bit. And as for what the duel between Elric and Ruenard was based on, I'll give you a hint. It involves a master facing off someone who was once his disciple with the former eventually stating that he has "the high ground" in the end. I think you all know the one. :) Or if you still don't you can guess in a review. For now, good night. :)
