Jack Frost stood in the Enchanted Forest. He was surrounded by the four elements: Fire, Air, Water, and Earth.
They swirled around him and he could hear their voices on the Spirit Winds.
"We have called you here, Jack Frost, because you defeated Pitch." Air said.
"What does Pitch have to do with this place?" Jack leaned on his staff, confused.
"Pitch was once human just like you." Water said. "He was a nobleman in this land named Patrick, who dabbled in the dark arts, and was scorned by a princess who had the same powers as you."
"You think Pitch would come back here after I defeated him?" Jack wondered, flying up into the air and back down again.
"He has a score to settle." Fire said. "The woman who scorned him; we believe he still loves her and will someday reach out to her...but all of that is not of import."
"Well." Jack said. "I sort of think it is!"
"A new Guardian needs to be nurtured Jack." Earth said, calming him down. "She will be targeted by Fear, by Pitch. We want you to protect her."
"She cannot become a Guardian on her own." Water worried.
"That is why we have called you here, Guardian of Fun." Fire commanded.
"We will use our power to age you in time with her." Air said loftily. "You will go to her, become a servant in the palace, befriend her."
"But you must go as a mortal." All Four commanded.
Jack leaned on his staff. "I will do as you say."
All four elements built in strength and blasted Jack.
His form was twisted until he was a child, the same age as Elsa, and his hair turned from white back to its original brown. His powers of ice left his body and hit the sky where they made a snowflake shaped firework.

Elsa woke in her bed, half asleep.
She heard something, voices, and felt a horrible chill, though she never felt cold.
Elsa looked over at Anna, and there was a tall, shadowy figure standing over her bed!
It looked as if the man was weaving darkness into Anna's head!
Elsa rushed out of bed and, without thinking, struck Pitch with a blast of ice, face twisted in rage.
"Get out of here!" She shouted. "Get away from my sister!"
Pitch only turned to her and smiled. "How like Ingrid you are—you have the same eyes."
"It didn't work?" Elsa looked at her hands.
"No, it didn't." Pitch advanced on her. "You'll never be rid of me, Elsa of Arendelle. Fear will plague your every thought until you are consumed by ice and darkness."
SPLAT! A Snowball hit Pitch in the face.
Jack, the servant boy that played with Elsa and Anna all the time, was standing at the window.
"Ha ha!" Anna was awake now and laughing at Pitch. "You look funny."
Jack passed around snowballs and they pelted Pitch until he disappeared.
"Well, now that we're all up—who wants to go ice skating?" Jack grinned.
The three snuck out of the the palace to the frozen pond.
"Do the magic!" Jack encouraged as the three skated.
"Do it Do it!" Anna shouted.
Elsa started waving her hands together and suddenly snowflakes appeared forming a snowball.
"Ready?" Elsa asked.
"Yeah!" Jack and Anna said.
Elsa threw the snowball into the air and it burst out creating flakes around the room.
"This is amazing!" Anna sang, skating circles around them.
Elsa and Anna built a snowman, after they finished building him Elsa moved his stick arms around."Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."
Suddenly there was a crack and a snap under Elsa's feet.
"ELSA!" Jack lunged forward—too late!—as Elsa crashed into the sub-zero temperature water.
Elsa's hand shot out of the water and her magic struck Jack—just as he dove into the water after her.
Despite the ice magic weaving it's way into his body, Jack swam deep into the lake and saved the Princess, bringing her to the warm hearth in the palace and explaining to her parents.
As the King and Queen discussed what to do about Elsa's wayward power, Jack never left the princess' side.
When Elsa finally woke, she gasped. "Jack...your hair is white!"
Jack just chuckled. "We match."
Suddenly he clutched his head and fell to the floor, unconscious.
"JACK!" Elsa caught him. "Mother! Father! We have to do something! He saved me; we have to save him!"
"I think I know someone who can help." The King said, gathering the unconscious Jack in his arms.

As they were caring for Jack and Elsa, no one noticed Anna slip away. The King and Queen had put her to bed, but, being Anna, she had gotten up and wandered around.
She heard a shadow calling her.
Anna thought that all magic was good and fun, like Elsa. She knew nothing of the shadows and dark magic, and thanks to Elsa and Jack, she did not fear Pitch and his manipulation.
"Little lost girl without a place. Little girl who followed the darkness in her heart..." Pitch called in the shadows.
Anna followed the voice into the darkness, back to her room where Pitch waited.
"Reject the world you knew before, or you can never make it. Little girl who's never awakened. I am the one you have been looking for, the one who truly needs you." Pitch said, beckoning her.
He held out his hand to the innocent, bright, light hearted princess.
"Come . . . Come to me . . ."
Anna took his hand, and vanished into the Shadows.
