The girls turned back to normal as it was starting to get dark and they went to a village. "Hey, let me ask you, how do you guys cope with the ever-increasing complexity of thought that comes with maturity?" Olaf asked the children who began to take him apart by his carrot nose, stick arms, and feet. A little girl smiled as she stuck his carrot up her nose. "Brilliant!" Olaf smiled back. "It's so refreshing to talk to the youth of today," he then added as a stick hand was through his head then. "Our future is in bright hands," Then he looked over to see that Pafu tried to chew on his foot stub. "Oh, no, no, no... Don't chew that, you don't know what I've stepped in." "Sorry~pafu" Pafu apologized. "I can't seem to get her attention," Kristoff said to Ryder as they walked off together with Kirara and Sven behind them. "Or even say the thing." "Well, you're in luck; I know nothing about women." Ryder replied. "How helpful." Kirara deadpanned. "But I do know that we have the most amazing way of proposing," Ryder then clarified. "If we start now, we'll be ready at dawn." "Really?" Kristoff asked hopefully. "The best part: it involves a lot of reindeer." Ryder replied.
Haruka was shown to be with Anna and Mattias as they talked together. "Hey, back home, Halimah's still over on Hudson's Hearth?" Mattias asked Anna. "She is." Anna nodded. "Really? Is she married?" "Mm-mm." "Oh, wow, why would that make me feel better?" Haruka giggled a little from that. "What else do you miss?" Anna asked. "My father," Mattias said softly. "He passed long before all this. He was a great man, built us a good life is Arendelle, but took everything for granted. He'd say, 'Be prepared! Just when you think you found your way, life will throw you on a new path'." "Sounds like good dad advice." Haruka said. "What do you do when it does?" Anna asked. "Don't give up," Mattias advised. "Take it one step at a time. And..." "Just do the next right thing?" Anna guessed. "Yeah, you got it." Mattias smiled at Anna who smiled back, as well did Haruka.
"I wanna show you something," Honeymaren smiled at Elsa who was currently petting a young reindeer. "May I?" she then asked as she held out her hand. Elsa allowed as she showed her mother's blanket to the village woman. "You know, air, fire, water, and earth." Honeymaren soon pointed out. "Yes." Elsa nodded. "But look, there is a fifth spirit," Honeymaren pointed at the fifth symbol on the blanket. "It's said to be a bridge between us and a magical nature." "A fifth spirit?" Elsa asked in surprise. "Some say they hear it call out the day before the forest falls." Honeymaren nodded. "My father heard it," Elsa memorized. "Do you think that's what's calling me?" "Maybe, but alas, only Ahtohallan knows." Honeymaren advised. "Ahtohallan." Elsa repeated. "Dive deep into her sound, But not too far away or you'll be drowned~" Elsa and Honeymaren soon sang together. "That's a pretty twisted lullaby." Minami commented. "Why do lullabies always have to have some terrible warning in them?" Honeymaren chuckled. "I wonder that all the time." Elsa replied.
Just then, there were booming footsteps heard. "...Earth giants; what are they doing down here?" asked Yelena. Campfires were doused, people went into their huts, and children huddled with their parents for safety. "Hide." Honeymaren told Elsa before dashing off. Everybody hid away together as the Earth giants were coming. Olaf saw the fire lizard and soon tried to shush it which made it catch aflame. "They're coming!" he whispered loudly before he tried to shush it even more and the flames grew bigger and bigger before he picked it up and he was on fire without melting and the fire lizard soon fizzled out once it was on the snowman's cool head. "This is why we don't play with fire!" he then scolded the animal. The fire lizard nuzzled down and trilled. "Oh, I can't stay mad at you~," Olaf then cooed. "You're so CUTE!" Elsa hid behind a tree and watched as the Earth giants stomped past. One of them turned around because it thought it saw Elsa, but after a while it continued on its way. "Don't. Get. Scared," Towa whispered sharply to her friends. "Whatever you do, don't get scared. Giants can smell fear." The others nodded as they did their best to stay calm and quiet.
Elsa soon went to check to see if the Earth giant was gone before she gasped as someone grabbed her arm before she looked down to see that it was only Anna. "Please tell me, you are not about to follow them." Anna begged her older sister. "What if I can settle them like I did with the wind and fire?" Elsa smiled hopefully. "Or what if they can crush you before you even get the chance?" Anna retorted. "Remember, the goal is to find the voice, find the truth and get us home." When the group noticed the Earth giants were gone, they went out of hiding. "Hey, guys; that was close." said Olaf, as he came out of hiding. "The giant sensed me," Elsa replied. "And he might come back, and I don't want to put anyone in danger. You're right, Anna; we've got to find the voice. We're going now." And so she walked off. "Okay... We're going now," said Anna, looking at the people coming outside. "...Wait, where are Kristoff and Sven?" "I think they took off with this Ryder guy and a bunch of reindeer..." Olaf replied. "They left?" asked Anna. "Without even... Saying anything?" The snowman shrugged. "Who knows the ways of men?" he asked as he walked off and joined Elsa. Anna began to look concerned before she looked at Elsa as she worried about Kristoff and Sven. "I'm sure they'll be right back," Minami reassured. "But we should probably follow Elsa."
"Am I supposed to feel this ridiculous?" Kristoff asked as he was surrounded by reindeer while standing on a heart-shaped boulder. "Oh, yeah, definitely." Ryder smiled. "Everyone ready?" asked Kristoff. "Ready!" said a gruff-voiced reindeer. "Uh, I could use a rehearsal?" said another reindeer. "I love love..." sighed a third. Kristoff's eyes widened in amazement. "Wait... You talk for your reindeer, too?" he asked. "I do." Ryder replied. "It's like you can actually hear what they're thinking!" Kristoff exclaimed. "And then you just, you just... Say it!" Ryder added. "And then you just say it..." Kristoff sighed happily, before he spotted someone approaching the area. "Okay! Here she comes!" Ryder beamed as he unleashed a basket filled with butterflies. Sven hit a board which made a bowl fly in the air which made sparkles fly out to make the scene romantic. "Princess Anna of Arendelle," Kristoff called dramatically. "My first love, fearless, ginger, sweet love; will you marry me?" "Um, no," Yelena said as she was shown which killed the moment. "The princess left with the queen and those girls with those fairies not from our village. "The queen?" Kristoff gasped. "What? What?!" "I wouldn't try to follow, they're long gone." Yelena advised. "Long gone?" Kristoff frowned. "So, yeah... Um, we're heading west, to the Lycan Meadows," Yelena replied as she walked away from him. "You can come with us if you want." Kristoff was left standing in the field, looking and feeling utterly humiliated. "Hey..." said Ryder. "I'm, uh... Really sorry that..." "No, it's fine." Kristoff replied. "...I should go pack," decided Ryder. "You, uh... You coming with?" "I'll... Just meet you there." Kristoff told him. "You know where to go, right?" asked Ryder. "Yeah, I-I know the woods," Kristoff replied, as Ryder left.
"Reindeers are better than people...~" The young man sang sadly. "Sven, why is love so hard?~" "Ya feel what'cha feel, and those feelings? They're real," replied Sven. "C'mon, Kristoff; let down your guard~" Kristoff stood up with a lot on his mind, but Sven encouraged him to go onward. "Again, you're gone, Off on a different path than mine, I'm left behind wondering if I should follow~," he sang as Sven nodded at him. "You had to go, And, of course, it's always fine, I probably could catch up with you tomorrow~" he sang into a pinecone like it was a microphone. Soon, the man began to think about Anna as he saw her in his mind. "But is this what it feels like to be growing apart?~," Kristoff then sang as he seemed to be alone without Anna. "When did I become the one who's always chasing your heart?, Now I turn around and find, I am lost in the woods, North is south, right is left when you're gone~" "I'm the one who sees you hope, But now I'm lost in the woods, And I don't know what path you are on~" The man and reindeer then sang together as they looked all around, feeling a bit lost. "I'm lost in the woods~" Kristoff sang as he jumped across a river. "Up 'til now, the next step was a question of how, I never thought it was a question of whether; Who am I, if I'm not your guy?~" he had flashbacks of the time he and Anna first kissed. "Where am I, if we're not together forever?" "Now I know you're my true north, 'cuz I am lost in the woods~" he sang with Sven and the other reindeer. "Up is down, day is night, when you're not there; Oh, you're my only landmark, so I'm lost in the woods, Wondering if you still care; But I'll wait for a sign (for a si~ign) that I'm on your path, 'Cuz you are mine (you are mi~ine!) Until then, I'm lost in the woods~" "Lost in the, lost in the woods~" sang the reindeer with Kristoff. The man thought he saw Anna for a few seconds, but when he went to hug her, she vanished. "I'm lost in the woods...~" he sang sadly, as he sat down, and petted Sven on his snout.
