Chapter 58

"It began when I was born…", said Elsa.

Elsa, Gray, and Juvia were on the second floor of the castle.

"I was born with the power of ice and snow. None of my parents know how I was born with it, all they know is that they were told it was a curse."

"That's awful!", said a sad Juvia.

"It's okay. During my childhood years, Anna knew I had magic and we would often play together because of it."

"'Anna'?"

"She's my younger sister."

"Did Anna-san have magic, too?"

"No. I was the only one…"

"Anna wasn't jealous of your magic?", asked Gray.

"No. She loved it when I would use my powers but my parents would often tell me to be careful with it." She took a deep breath and continued speaking. "Then one night, Anna said she wanted to play, so we went down to the ballroom to play. We were having fun playing in the snow. But then Anna started jumping on snow pillars, that I created, really fast and I couldn't keep up with her. I then slipped and I couldn't make another pillar and Anna was about to fall. To stop her from hurting herself, I blasted some snow magic at her head, which knocked her unconscious but she landed safely."

"What's wrong with that?", asked Juvia. "Gray-sama always gets hit in the head with magic attacks and you saved your sister from getting hurt."

"Was Anna okay?", asked Gray.

"Yes. But the side effect caused Anna's body to turn really cold. My parents found out about this and the four of us went to a troll village to help her."

"Trolls?"

"They are very knowledgeable with magic. We brought Anna there and the leader of the trolls said Anna was lucky that only her head was struck."

"What's the worst place to get hit?", asked Juvia.

"The heart. I don't know what would happen if she was hit there, but I assume it would be something worse. Since she was hit in the head, the leader removed all of Anna's memories relating to my magic, curing her from my attack."

"So Anna doesn't know you have magic?", asked Gray.

"During our childhood, yes. The leader also told me to control my powers, otherwise there will be danger. So my parents, decide to lock the gates to Arendelle, conceal my magic, and limit my contact with anyone, including Anna."

"When you say 'conceal', does that mean you've been holding your magic back throughout your life?"

"Yes…"

"That's not good. If you never use your magic at all, not only you can't learn to control it, but it won't be healthy and you might accidentally released a lot of magic power, causing exhaustion for doing so. Learning and practicing how to use it will help you understand how to control it."

"Your right. And that was exactly what happen about releasing magic energy."

"What do you mean?", asked Juvia.

"I was going to be crowned queen of Arendelle, since our parents died in a storm. When Anna came up to me asking to be married to a man from another kingdom, I refused."

"Why?"

"Two things, one: she just met the man, and two: I don't want people to know my powers. This greatly upset Anna and we got into an argument. During the fight, I unleashed my magic in front of everyone. Since everyone knew I have magic, I ran away from the Kingdom, thinking everyone will be safe without me."

Gray and Juvia looked at each other with concern.

"That explains that sad look on your face.", said Gray.

"Now that I'm up here, I can use my magic freely."

"That's great. But do you still know how to control it in general."

Elsa looked a bit annoyed upon hearing that. "My parents gave me gloves to conceal my powers, and that was it."

"So in other words, you still don't know how to use it even now."

"I can't help it if I wasn't allowed to use my powers!" She sighed and said, "Now that you know my story, can you tell me why you are here."

"Since we all saw you upset, we wanted to help you in anyway.", said Juvia.

"I can never help anyone. I only cause trouble…"

"Juvia don't see that. Your power is just a skill. It depends on how you use it that others might think you're bad."

Gray explained "After hearing your story, we want to train you to better your powers so that you can control it in a better way. If you still don't know how to control it, you may cause damage on the mountain. Besides, with strong magic, you may help those who are in danger of greater threats."

Elsa thought for a moment. Then she said, "I guess that sounds nice. But how do you intend on teaching?"

"You saw our magic. I'm pretty sure we can do it."

Elsa turned to see the outside of the castle. She smiled and said, "Alright. I'll do it. Ready when you are."

But when she turned around, she saw Gray with no shirt and something else was missing from the bottom area. Juvia had already passed out with her face completely red. When Elsa saw Gray, her face turned red and she yelped. She then fainted on the floor, leaving Gray to look confused.

After Olaf's body was separated, Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy searched the area to find his parts. Since his body was made of snow, the three of them had to use their sense of hearing and Olaf's memory to find his parts. After finding his parts, Anna started to put him back together.

"And that should...do it.", said Anna as she finished putting Olaf's parts back together. He was alright but he doesn't have his nose.

"You sure something's not missin'?", asked Goofy.

"Nah. Looks right.", said Kristoff.

"You sure?", asked Wendy.

Olaf sighed with relief. "Wow, I feel so much better." He touched his face and began to worry. "Wait! Where's my cute new nose? The one Anna gave me!"

"Uh, Sora… Do you have his nose?", asked Anna.

"I don't think so.", he answered.

"Nope, didn't see it.", said Donald.

"Natsu, did you eat it?", asked Happy.
"No!", answered an annoyed Natsu. "Like I eat raw vegetables. Everything tastes better when it's cooked!"

Olaf gasped with horror and sighed with sadness. While Olaf looked down, Kristoff looked at Seven while Sven looked at Kristoff. Both were giving each other a suspicious look.

Kristoff sighed and said, "Sven…"

Sven was now smiling. Kristoff then opened his mouth and Sven opened his, showing a large carrot on his tongue. He grabbed the carrot and faced Anna, who had her arms crossed looked a little annoyed.

Kristoff then move near Sven's face and tried to impersonate him. "'Someone had to pick it up!'" He then change back into his normal voice. "You're right, buddy. Thanks for finding it...and not actually eating it." He changed his voice again. "'And, you're welcome.'"

"What the hell is going on?", asked Gajeel.

Anna then put the carrot on Olaf's face, giving him a nose.

"My nose, it's back!", said Olaf as he jumped with joy. "Oh, I love having a nose!"

"Hey, Kristoff, how'd all this happen, anyway?", asked Sora.

"You know, I'm not sure.", he answered. "These weird animals-well, they were more like monsters-they just crashed into Olaf."

"Monsters?", question Happy.

"Guess who?", said Laxus, who seemed unsurprised.

"I knew it.", said Goofy.

"The Heartless again!", said Donald.

"The 'Heart-less'?", question Kristoff. "Hmm… And I thought the wolves around here were bad."

"Kristoff, look!", said Anna.

"They're back!"

"No…", said Olaf in horror. "I've already fallen apart today."

"We know how to handle them!", said Sora as the others prepare for battle. "Anna, Kristoff, keep going!"

After a pause, Kristoff nodded and said, "Okay!"

"Wait? What?", said a confused Anna as she was moved away from the area.

"Natsu! Happy! Lucy! Wendy! Charle! Go with them!", said Erza.

"Right!", they responded as they ran after Kristoff and Anna.

Erza then requiped Lightning Empress armor and she and Laxus electrocuted most of the Heartless that were up front. Gajeel and Sora charged at the ones that are still coming and sliced them all while Donald and Goofy defend them from the attacks. Eventually, they all defeated the Heartlesses in the area.

"We better catch up!", said Sora.

"Yeah!", they all responded.

Meanwhile, Natsu and others followed Anna and Kristoff as they made their way to the Ice Palace. They are now walking in an area where icicles are sticking out of the sides of giant rocks.

"So sharp here.", said Natsu.

"Aye.", said Happy.

"I can't decide which is worse: this or Mt. Hakobe.", said Charle.

"I believe both.", sighed Lucy.

"Hey, Natsu? Can you tell me your two friends that are with Elsa?", asked Anna.

"One of them is Gray, he uses ice magic and he is a real pain in the ass.", said Natsu.

"This Gray uses ice magic?! That means he's helping my sister! Now who's the other one?"

"That would be Juvia.", said Lucy. "She uses water magic."

"You guys are so cool!"

Kristoff sighed. "So how exactly are you planning to stop this weather?", he asked.

"Oh, I am going to talk to my sister.", Anna answered.

"That's your plan? My ice business is riding on you talking to your sister?"

"Yup!"

As they were walking, Kristoff walked right into an icicle pointing at his nose. He gasped and said, "So you're not at all afraid of her."

"Why would I be?"

"She is really nice.", said Wendy/

"Yeah…", said Olaf. "I bet she's the nicest, gentest, warmest person ever." Without looking, he walked straight into an icicle. The icicle poke through his body, making it stick out while his legs kept going until they crashed into a wall. Noticing it, he said, "Oh, look at that. I've been impaled." He then giggled.

"Thank god he's a snowman.", sighed Lucy.

After walking for a while, they eventually reached a large cliff in front of them.

"What now?", asked Anna.

Kristoff thought for a moment and then said, "It's too steep. I only got one rope and you don't know how to climb mountains."

"Says who?", asked Anna from a far off distance.

"Uh, Kristoff-san…", said Wendy.

Kristoff looked up and said, "What are you doing?"

They all saw Anna trying to climb up the cliff. "I'm going...to see...my sister.", she said while climbing.

"You're gonna kill yourself."

"This is really not a good idea.", said Lucy.

"I wouldn't put my foot there."

"You're distracting me."

"Or there."

"Come on, she can do it.", said Natsu.

"Aye.", said Happy.

"No she can't!", said an annoyed Kristoff. "How do you know Elsa even wants to see you?"

"I-I I'm just blocking you out, because I have to concentrate."

"You know most people who disappear into the mountains want to be alone."

"Nobody wants to be alone. Except maybe you."

"I'm not alone. I have friends, remember?"

"You mean...the love experts?"

"Yes. The love experts."

"Your friends are love experts?", question Charle. "Somehow I find that hard to believe."

"Well you should believe it."

After grabbing onto another rock and putting her foot on another, Anna said, "Please tell me I'm almost there." Everyone else can see that she barely made it halfway and is still on the bottom. Everyone then gave a sweat drop. "Does the air seem a bit thin to you up here?"

Kristoff sighed and said, "Hang on."

"Hey Sven?", Olaf called (referring to Kristoff). Who was standing near a small passage way. "Not sure if this might solve the problem but I found a staircase that leads exactly where you wanted to go."

"Haha, thank goodness!", said Anna with joy. "Catch!"

She immediately let go of the mountain and began to fall. Kristoff was surprised and immediately catch her.

Anna giggled. "Thanks! That was like a crazy trust exercise."

"She's fun!", said Natsu.

Meanwhile at the Ice Palace, Gray was showing Elsa how to create the Ice Shield spell. Gray shirt was off while Elsa was wearing a light blue tank top and a blue skirt.

"Now it's your turn.", said Gray.

Gray backed away. Elsa then put her left fist against her right palm.

"Ice-Make: Shield!"

She spread her arms out and a giant ice shield appeared.

"That's pretty good. You're getting this pretty quickly, though I suppose this because you're an adult."

"When did you start learning magic?", asked Elsa.

"When I was a kid."

"Amazing. You get to use your magic whenever you want and look at you! Who taught you?"

"My Master, Ur."

"She must be so proud of you."

"Yeah. Bet she is… Why don't we take a break."

Gray then headed towards the large doors and exited the room. Juvia just sat on the floor with a nasty look on her face.

Elsa noticed this and asked, "Hey Juvia, are you okay?"
"Juvia is perfectly fine.", she answered sarcastically. "But Juvia is on to you! Gray-sama is mine, even if he is teaching you magic, love rival!"

"I think I'm good.", said Elsa as she gave a sweat drop. She then looked sad. "Besides, I don't think anyone would love me…"

Juvia then gave a concerned look. "Why?", she asked.

"I'm the only one in my Kingdom that uses magic. No one will love me, they'll only see me as a monster."

Juvia then sighed. "Juvia doesn't think that. There will always be someone that will love you, even if you have magic."

Both of them then sat down on the floor. "When Juvia met Gray-sama, we at first enemies. We fought each other for our teams. But seeing Gray-sama's magic for the first time, I knew we were meant to be together. Back then, nobody loved me because I constantly made it rain. But when Gray-sama defeated me, I was about to fall and he saved me. After that, it finally stopped raining and I saw the sun for the first time."

Elsa smiled. "What a romantic story."

"What Juvia is saying, there is someone out there that loves you, even if you're different."

"I don't know…"

"What about Anna-sam?"

Elsa looked surprised.

"From what you told us, she loved seeing you use your magic when you were little. Juvia is sure Anna-san still loves you."

"I guess. But I'm not sure since we haven't really talk."

"I'm sure she misses you. Now come on! Gray-sama is waiting!"

Elsa smiled as she stood up. "Heh. Alright, let's go. Thank you for talking with me, Juvia."

"Sure, Elsa-san."
