Unknown Skies part 3
Arendelle, August 12th, 1759, 5 years after the great thaw
Queen Elsa of Arendelle smiled, today, like others in Arendelle's summer were sunny and pleasantly warm. It was not an ordinary summers day however, today was to be the wedding day of her younger sister Princess Anna of Arendelle to Ice Master Kristoff Bjorgman. Elsa was proud of the two, this time, Anna had taken several years, 6 to be exact, to get to know Kristoff and the couple had fallen in love and here they were today.
"I now pronounce you Man and Wife, you may kiss the bride" The priest announced with a smile on his face.
Anna didn't need asking twice, she leant forward and kissed Kristoff to massive applause by everyone gathered in the church. When they parted, Anna and Kristoff, hand in hand, walked back down the aisle and back to the castle where the two would change before the rest of the wedding festivities would begin.
Anna looked absolutely beautiful in her pure white bridal gown which Elsa might have had a hand in making. Elsa was proud for her little sister. But she was also worried, over the past several nights she had been awoken by nightmares involving a huge flying machine and whispers saying "It's coming! It's coming!" She didn't know exactly what these nightmares meant but for now Elsa had to hide her fears for now until she could find out what they actually meant.
37,000 feet, 900 miles out from Arendelle
Winter Airways flight 595 burst out of the bright blue glow and resumed flying straight and level. Sam and Dan both stared out of the cockpit windows. The sun was beginning to set, filling the aircraft with a soft orange glow.
"Hey, what's happening here? Sunsets not supposed to happen for another 45 minutes!" Dan said in a confused tone.
"No idea." Sam replied. As he said this, he looked down at the instrument panel to check Quebec Echo's position.
"Our satellite navigation is out!" Sam exclaimed in surprise.
"That can't be right" Dan thought aloud.
"No, it isn't" Sam agreed.
Sam then activated the intercom.
"Hey Kate. Is everyone ok back there?" he asked.
"Everything is ok back here Sam. We're all just shaken that's all" Kate replied through the intercom.
"Ok, just keep everyone calm. Dan and I are going to keep trying to find a landing site" Sam said back in a calm tone to Kate before switching off the intercom.
He then activated the PA system and said,
"Attention everyone, this is your captain speaking. I apologise for the sudden heavy storm activity. No need to worry. It's perfectly normal to encounter this sort of weather when above the North Sea"
"The North Sea?" Dan asked in confusion as Sam switched off the PA system.
"We are above it at the moment and the North Sea has had freaky weather" Sam explained.
Dan couldn't help but agree with that.
The Boeing 757 cruised on towards the Norwegian coast, the sun set completely and night began to set in.
"It's going to be almost impossible to find a safe landing sight now" Dan said grimly to Sam.
"We can still try" Sam replied in a reassuring tone to his friend.
Dan was about to ask how when suddenly, the radar started bleeping quite loudly!
Both pilots immediately looked down at the Radar's display and right on the extreme edge of the system's indicated range. A repeating pulse of powerful energy could be seen and with every pulse, the radar binged loudly.
"What in the world?" Dan exclaimed.
Sam's brow furrowed in concentration before he said,
"Only one way to find out what it is"
He reached for the autopilot heading dial.
"You sure you want to do that?" Dan asked concerned.
"What have we got to lose?" Sam replied as he turned the dial and the 757 turned towards the pulse of energy.
Arendelle, the same as the 757 detects the energy pulses
Elsa threw up another blast of powerful icy magic into the evening sky, the setting sun creating beautiful colours onto the shapes that Elsa's magic created.
She had been doing this for a while to provide a backdrop to the ice skating figures on the frozen fjord below.
Elsa watched Anna and Kristoff skate together on the ice, making her smile that Anna had found someone who would love her unconditionally. Elsa wished she could find someone like Kristoff was to Anna but who would want to court "the snow queen"?
Just then without warning a blast of pain hit her, sending her to her knees!
As Elsa screwed her eyes shut, trying to block out the pain, she started having the dream!
Bright flashes of light accompanied by a sort of dark smoke. Sounds of battle which then morphed into a repeated set of odd sounds accompanied by someone or something saying "Pull up! Pull up!" Finally all of that cut out as a huge shape blotted out the rest of the vision, it came towards Elsa at a speed that should have been impossible. The sound that came out from it, a deep, high pitched shrieking noise grew louder and louder until the shape was nearly about to hit her! The vision cut out and the headache stopped.
Elsa's eyes shot open and she shakily got to her feet, leaning against a tree to steady herself, she looked up towards the Fjord. No-one had seen her collapse and Elsa knew that it was probably for the best. It was her sister's wedding day after all and she couldn't spoil it.
"But what was that vision and the dreams? What are they trying to tell me?" Elsa thought aloud to herself.
Elsa didn't know exactly what the visions were saying or why she was seeing them, but she knew somewhere deep in her bones that soon she would find out.
