The wind was blowing in the Enchanted Forest. The sun shined brightly, the birds chirp about, and overall, things are normal.
Well, almost normal…
In one part of the forest, there is a riverbank with the water flowing further south. It usually carries healthy water, as well as leaves and sticks that fell from the trees. At first glance, the spot is normal. But upon looking closer, you will see something unusual.
Lying next to a tall rock is an unconscious man. He is 19 years old, only 5'1", well-built, and has short brown hair. He appears to be wearing a torn outfit that resembles a soldier's uniform. He also seems to have a bruise on his forehead.
The water rose slightly, just enough to touch his feet. The coolness made his body jolt for a moment. Then, the first signs of movement began to show.
The man groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed them as he took a deep breath.
"Mmmm… what happened?" he asked himself. The sun's rays hit him in the eyes, causing him to lift his hand to protect himself. As his eyes open, we can see that one of his eyes is brown, and the other is bright blue.
The man sighed as his eyes adjusted to the brightness. He then looked around, seeing himself in the middle of a forest. He grew confused as he slowly stood up, wiggling slightly.
"W-Where am I?" he asked to himself as he managed to balance himself, looking around. He then felt a throbbing pain on his forehead, causing him to place a hand on his forehead.
"Agh...W-What is this? Where am I? Why am I even here?!" he asked himself as he rubbed his forehead, feeling the bruise. After looking down to see his reflection, he grew more confused.
"How did I get this?" he asked.
After a few moments, he sighed and shook his head.
"Alright. Asking all of these questions is NOT gonna get you anywhere! First things first, find out where the people are, and then just figure out what to do next. It's not that difficult." he said to himself. After looking around to make sure he hadn't lost anything, the man began to walk along the river.
While he was walking, he talked to himself as he looked around.
"Must say, I don't remember being in a forest this beautiful. I love it, actually. Maybe I can find bears here. I dunno why, but bears are so fascinating." he said, smiling to himself. He swung his arms around and looked up, seeing some of the leaves flying across the trees. He could've sworn he heard some chirping sounds. They didn't sound like any kind of bird he recognized. Regardless, he kept moving.
A few seconds later, he heard a similar chirping behind him. He turned around to see another batch of leaves flowing beside him for a few seconds before flying past him.
"Huh. Must be some annoying bird." he muttered to himself again.
As he continued walking along, he heard the same chirping, this time right next to him. The man turned to see a floating batch of leaves. The man froze as he stared at the leaves.
"What in the?" he asked as he looked on in intrigue. The leaves then moved as another set of chirping sounds can be heard. Then, the leaves pressed against him, and the man felt a breeze.
"Woah! What the?" he asked as the wind thing chirped, pressing against as if it were a dog.
Then, the man felt himself being lifted upwards and held upside down by the wind creature.
"Hey! Let me down!" he shouted as he swung his fists around, hitting nothing but air!
The wind thing chirped again, this time as if to laugh at him, making the man groaned.
"Just let me down! I just want to find out where I am!" he said. The wind creature responded by simply setting him down on his head, making him tumble down on his belly. This made the wind creature chirp again as if to laugh at him again.
The man groaned as he lifted his head and blinked. Sighing to himself, he got up and gulped as he rubbed his arms.
"What was all that about?" he muttered to himself. Then, he felt something land on his shoulder.
A squeak made him turn his head to the left, seeing a blue salamander with purple outlines on its back. The little creature looked at him with innocent curiosity. However, the man gasped and his eyes dilated.
"AAAHH!" he said as he leaped up and swatted at his shoulder. The salamander yelped in surprise. The man then threw his hands forward instinctively. But to the surprise of both him and the creatures, a beam of white light shot out of the palm, hitting the ground near the salamander. The salamander screeched in surprise and crawled away.
The man looked at his hands as the beam dissipated. He looked at his hands, shock present on his face.
"W-Woah...how can I do that?" he asked. The chirping sound caught his attention, and he saw the wind creature inspecting the salamander. Taking the opportunity, he began to run as fast as he could. He could hear the chirp of the wind creature, and before long, he was lifted upwards.
"Ahh! Get off of me!" he shouted as he flexed his hands outwards, causing another beam of energy to shoot outwards. The beam shot through the wind creature, but it did chirp loudly, causing it to drop the man. He took the opportunity to run as fast and as far as he could.
He then heard the sound of something catching flame from behind him. He turned to see the salamander, which was on fire, rushing towards him with an angry, protective look on his face. The man shouted as he sped by faster.
Another set of chirps can be heard, and he felt the wind begin to grow in strength. He turned around to see the wind creature beginning to create a tornado. He yelped and tried to run, but the wind was too strong, and he was eventually pulled into the tornado.
The man screamed in fright as he was swung around in the tornado, barely dodging any tree trunks or rocks that were caught in the crossfire. He had to use the energy beams from his hands to destroy any that came into his way after a while.
All the while, fire formed in the wind. The man shouted in frustration.
"Are you kidding me?!" he asked as he continued destroying more of the objects surrounding him.
Before long, he was thrusted into the ground, and before long, he felt the tornado getting smaller and closer to him. The man shot his energy at the tornado, and it was barely enough to keep it from squishing him.
The wind tornado, now a small dome, continued to press itself further inwards, forcing the man onto his knees. His powers are not really doing much to keep it away, and he was becoming desperate. His mind began to think of ways to get him out of this mess.
"I could...Gah!" he said as he felt his back hit by the strong wind. He looked at the ground.
"N-No. I need both of these hands. I can't dig underground!" he muttered to himself, looking for any other way. For a moment, nothing useful came into his mind, and he gritted his teeth.
"So this is it...this is how I'll die. Not even knowing why I'm here, how I got this, or even who I am…" he thought to himself.
Then, something flashed within his mind. His eyes widened and time almost seemed to stop as a faint memory began to play.
*Flashback*
The man was surrounded by multiple people inside of a room. Most of them were bashing at the door and window, trying to get inside. He gulped to himself as he tensed up his body. At this point, his body began to shine brightly. The shine got bigger and bigger until it enveloped the room and surrounding area.
*Flashback ends*
The man gasped as he found himself snapping back to reality. He looked around, the wind dome getting closer and closer. With a gulp, he began to focus his power on his entire body. The energy beams began to lessen in intensity. But at the same time, his body began to glow a bright white-yellow. As the light intensified, the boy's eyes glowed a similar color and he took in a deep breath.
"AAAAAHHHH!" he shouted as he, with all the strength he could muster, expelled the energy out of his body. The next thing he knew, there was a bright light and ringing in his ears…
Before long, the man came to, and he found himself surrounded by black smoke. He groaned as he crawled up to his feet, arms and legs shivering. His uniform was all but incinerated, leaving only a heavily tattered undershirt and pants. He was beyond exhausted, but he knew he couldn't stay inside wherever he was at.
Thus, he began to make his way through the smoke. It was almost dark, but he pressed onwards. He coughed as he breathed in some smoke.
"Jesus. What happened? W-Wh...What was that memory about?" he asked to himself as he walked on.
Eventually, he reached a slope. With a small smile, he pressed his hands against the soil. However, the ground was searing hot. He shouted and pulled back, shaking his hands.
"Agh! Well, there goes any chance of climbing out of here. Gah! Dammit!" he said as he stomped his burned feet onto the hot ground. He began to pace about, ignoring the heat and coughing.
"This is not fair! *cough, cough* All I wanted is to find out where I come from, why I'm here, and who I am! Now I'm trapped in the middle of crater in a forest that has it out for me. Not to mention, I have these powers that I don't even know how I GOT THEM! IS THERE ANY JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD?!" he said as he swung his arms downwards, shouting into the smoky air. He then fell down, feeling the heat beginning to overwhelm him. He gritted his teeth as he tried to get himself together.
"Why? Why am I holding it in? Nobody's around! Just let it all out!" he said mentally to himself. But he couldn't. There's something inside of him that is preventing him from bursting out into tears. It's as if he was conditioned into holding them in. So instead, he took in several deep breaths, calming his nerves and ignoring the heat surrounding him.
It took many minutes, but he was eventually calm. Slowly getting up, he looked up at the smoke, which was still present. He then looked at his hands, which were red, yet damaged despite the heat. Remembering how he shoots out energy beams from his hands, he looked up again and then at his hands again.
That was when he got an idea.
"Maybe...Let's see if this works." he said as he aimed his hands at the ground. Shooting another energy beam into the ground, he felt himself toppling backward. Falling down, he sat up and looked at his hands. He began to laugh.
"This is perfect! Alright, now let's get out of here!" he said to himself as he looked up. He crouched down slightly and aimed his hands to the back.
"'Operation: Get the Hell Out of This Hellhole' is now in session. We're launching in ten...nine...eight…" he began, as his hands began to glow brighter once more.
"Seven...six...wait, why am I even counting down? Blast off!" he said as he realized what he was doing and flexed his hands outwards. Then, he found himself launched upwards, high into the air!
The man gritted his teeth, feeling a bit of joy as he felt the air push against him. He then found the forest surrounding and underneath him...or, rather, what's left of it.
The man frowned as he slowly began to lower himself to the ground, meters away from the crater. He then saw the smoke slowly moving back and then followed the direction of the smoke. He looked back and widened his eyes in shock.
He saw a HUGE mushroom cloud looming into the sky! It was hundreds of meters tall, and there are a few rings surrounding it. The man gasped as he stepped back, looking at the massive cloud.
"Holy...I did this?" he asked as he looked at his hands and then at the burning forest surrounding him.
"I...I should've died if the explosion was that powerful." he muttered as he looked at his body.
Then, he began to cough when he accidentally inhaled more smoke. At this point, his head began to hurt.
"Oww...Oww…" he muttered as he walked away, looking for a less disastrous place to sit. Soon, he found a little stump where he can rest his back on. Slowly, he walked towards the stump, groaning as he managed to sit down despite the aching back.
"Damn it. That explosion must have…" he muttered as he laid his head on the stump, looking at the looming mushroom cloud, which still towers over everything in the darkened forest. The man couldn't be sure as he was too exhausted to move, but he could've sworn he felt tears streaming down his eyes.
Then, he heard chirping sounds, and the man turned his eyes to his right, seeing the wind creature descending and the salamander digging itself out from the ground, both of them facing him. The man lets out a breathless laugh as he weakly pointed to them.
"You two…*coughs* You two are starting to become a pain in my ass." he said with a weak smirk as he felt his vision began to fade. He saw the postures of the two turn threatening, but before anything could happen, they heard,
"Gale! Bruni! Don't hurt him!"
The man weakly turned his head to see a white horse rushing to his left. Riding it was a beautiful woman with white hair and a white dress. The woman got off and rushed towards him.
"Are you okay?! What happened?!" the woman shouted, but for the man, it was becoming more muffled. He felt his body shifting as she held him. He looked up, and upon seeing her face, smiled as his vision began to turn dark.
"Are...Are you an angel?" he asked before his vision turned dark, the man becoming unconscious as the woman's frantic voice fades away into muffled sounds…
AN: Hey everyone.
Another Frozen story that I have had planned. I wrote a draft of this with a character from our world entering the world of Frozen. But I've already made a similar story; Tangled In Another World. So...yeah.
So, I've written this chapter from the perspective of the man. The next one is from the perspective of Elsa!
This story would have elements inspired by Attack on Titan Season 4! What do I mean...well, you'll have to find out!
I hope you enjoy it. Criticism is appreciated, and stick around for more!
