Chapter 3

Now this is not what she expected things can't get any worse than this. Naomi told her that some ships won't dock saying the prince needs them home, some merchants said they have to go somewhere else to trade. Then Esteban told her even some countries won't show for royal meeting course they had ties with Valisia, if this keeps up Avaolr can't support it self on its own. How much of influence does this country have, the council meeting was to begin Elena was heading that way she wasn't angry at her friends and familia it was just that this hole thing was cause of Alexzander. Opening the door her friend Namoi watched amazement as Esteban had papers griped in his hand an getting madder by the second. Her Abuelita an Abuelito watched with concern an worry as they watch him rant, "they have the audacity to do this to us cause we didn't do as they say these papers send back to us if it was me I'll...I'll..."

Elena puts her hands on her hips "well I'll just have to personally convince the prince that this was a miss understanding." Her cousin looks at her "an how are you going to do that exactly?" She smiles an puts her arm out "us all will personally apologize on what happened I'll bring Gabe to apologize as well." He crossed his arms over his chest "an if he says no, an the country 5 days away plus the resources to even go there" she put her arms down she never really thought about that. Standing up Esteban hands the letters to Elena that he had crumbled in his hand "if you have better words to convince him be my guest while we figure things here."

Taking the the letters she opened one "dear king of Valisia I know that things didn't turn out well with the meeting with the prince, we hope that with the trading would not in-pack our trading routes." Others say please respond to the letter other asking for another meeting now this was getting out of hand, huff she went to grab a world map an Gabe if this is how Alexzander wants to be then she is personally going there. Heading towards her room she got dressed in her outside wear her long sleeve tan floral shit with her pants and boots. Putting her hair up she went to go find Gabe seeing he was on duty she grabbed him by the arm, Gabe was surprised he was getting yanked around by Elena "hey hold on?!" She turn around "not one word we are going to Valisia right now for you to apologize."

Gabe just frowns an cross his arm "well I'm not really sorry why do I have apologize to him, this show that he can do this to Avalor an what will happen if it doesn't go his way." Crossing her arms towards him "cause I don't know how long this will happen it's been one day an we all ready lost 1/3 of our imports Gabe." He didn't want look in her eyes she just grabs him tugging him towards the Jackwens Skyler, Minks, and Luna. She grabbed her scepter before she left then heard her sister speaking at her "Elena were you going?" She stops turning around Isabel was looking at her confused "are you guys going somewhere?" Elena sighed "no Isa were just going somewhere just don't tell anyone okay."

Isabel looks around "can I come with please it's been awhile we all went on adventure together", Elena looks surprised "wait I thought you had something important to do instead?" The little girl just shrugs "I did but I already finished it but please I've never been to a far off country please." Begging hoping she'll take her with them Gabe steps in "its not a simple adventure like with the temple." Nodding her head "I know it's about the prince I want to see what kind of things they have over there but please take me with you guys", Elena knows Isabel won't stop till she goes with them wanting a new adventure an science.

Elena points to her "fine but you must fallow what we say okay" Isabel nods "let me go get my bag!" Running away to find what she needs getting much as she can they all hopped on the jackwens. Flying to their destination was going to be difficult they have to fly pass mountains, then go through the fields an forest that will be in their way. They stopped by a few villages asking for directions they got lost for a bit, Gabe kept saying he knows we're their going but what he didn't know was that he had the map upside down. They've been gone for two days now the nice villagers gave warmer clothes, they've been told that the weather was going to be freezing.

They were just a day away from the kingdom of Valisia they were mostly tired after the hole ordeal of being lost. Setting down to a close by town they asked around for inn to stay in but their dismay none were around, this town didn't really get any visitors so they stayed with a nice old couple. Gabe was fixing the fire to put more wood in an still upset that Elena dragged him all the way here, Isabel was mostly writing down she saw the towns history an the animals that lived here. But Elena was still upset with the prince what if he sees them an kicks out or have them even arrested or..., "hey Elena" her thought was vanished when she heard her sister speak "do you think the prince had a reason to cause the trading to stop." Turning away then looking at Gabe "I really don't know Isa let's just hope that this won't cause to much a problem with Avalor."

After a day of flying to Valisia they land into town behind some vacant buildings, as they land an looking down the alley into the street there was a huge crowd down the street. Many looked small some with animal feet Elena hopes she lands in Valisia cause this looks like another world to her. She puts her hand out to stop the others "okay guys we're just here to talk with the prince an go home, take the peace papers an things will turn back to normal in Avalor." Gabe just smiles "don't worry if anything thing gets out of hand I'm here to help." She rolled her eyes "sure you will" patting his shoulder an her grabbing the scepter an her bag from Skyler, the others did the same she walked into the street but when doing so caused her bump into a few people.

A elf with pointy ears walks pass her "watch it" as he hurry pass her.

Another a dwarf with black hair an light brown skin walk pass with bucket of rocks "sorry mama coming through."

Young lady with two kids walked around Elena "I'm sorry

Getting shoved around as the others look on Minks "I hope she knows what she's doing", as they watch Elena spinning around going pass some more people. Her back was facing away form the the palace turning around slowly, a tall towering gray an blue castle with the royal flag blowing in the wind as a gate stopping anyone to pass. Getting close to the palace gates "um... e-excuse me I'm hear to see the prince." They didn't move but just looked at one another an shrugs "sorry miss no can in if you do have a meeting then your to late."

Confused she looked at the guards "what you mean I'm to late?" The guards looks to her an at her friends "your to late cause no one pass this gate cause the blizzard is coming." Elena looks back at them with a shock face "w-wait what?!" This can't be happening a blizzard but for how long "h-how long will it last..." the guard on the left spoke "my be a week depending on how much snow is coming in" the other guard chimed in "I don't think so the last blizzard took us sometime to get the snow out."

She was trying to hear what was said clearly then she put a hand up an gesture around "so you're saying these gate won't open at all for anyone." They look at one another "well no it will just be frozen shut cause of the blizzard" the one on the right spoke with happy tone towards her. With frustration bursting though her an looking at the guards. Gabe puts a hand on Elena shoulder looking back at him she sighed, walking away to a nearby inn.

She smiles as Isabel was making new friends some many shapes and races wanting to pet Mink, Skyler, and Luna. With parents near by watching an petting them as well they seemed they were friendly to touch. Eating a local dish but Elena was mostly pushing the food around as Gabe was eating his happily, he swallowed his food down "you all right?" Putting her silverware down "no not really what if we don't get to speak with the prince an what if he doesn't agree to make peace." Her friend just scratches his head not knowing what to say he did mess up things up for her, an causing Avalor a financial problem having them to go Valisia.

With this in mind they settle down for the night to trying again tomorrow. The girls got their own room as well the boys Isabel an Luna were sleeping on the bed all ready, Elena dressed in a simple warm coat an night dress. Watching the people put out the lamps in the street as the dark sky settled in. What was she thinking going as far away from home an not tell anyone, getting up from the chair an into the bed. Turning around away from Isabel looking at the window, an sighs as the last light was put out everything was completely in darkness. Gripping the covers she was more scared then normal a palace she never been to not even close to home as well, closing her eyes for slumber maybe tomorrow for sure she can speak with the prince.
