Chapter Three

Loss and Revealing's

It was a cold day in Arendelle as the Viking ship arrived once again at the port of Arendelle, the first person to get off the ship was Gobber, Stoick's right hand man. The experienced Viking, who had lost two limbs to dragons, was now assigned to escort the son of the chief to the gates of the castle then leave. Not much fanfare was needed, just to drop off then leave. Berk needed their only blacksmith back as soon as possible, two weeks without one was scary enough, let alone with dragons making daily raids against the village.

"Well Hiccup, this is it. Remember stay strong, you're becoming a young man now. Vikings don't cry, we endure" Gobber said to the now four foot young lad.

"Yes, Gobber" Hiccup went to hug him, but Gobber avoided it and hobbled back to the ship.

Frowning, Hiccup turned around and walked to the castle gates where he was stopped by the Royal Guards.

"What is your name and purpose for coming to the castle?" The tall Royal Guardsman asked in a gruff voice.

"My name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, son of Stoick the Vast from the Isle of Berk. I am here to see Princess Elsa."

The Guard passed along the message to the Captain of the Guards, and about three minutes later the doors opened to show Elsa and her mother. Elsa ran over to him and hugged him.
"Hiccup it has been too long, did you miss me?" Elsa asked excitedly.

As he put his head on her shoulder and his arms circled around her waist he put on the best fake smile he could muster.

"Of course I did Elsa, I can't wait to play with you again and learn more things about the world, and I have read all the books you sent me last year." As she talked more, he looked behind her to see the Queen talking to the guards, most likely about why he was left standing out in the cold instead of being allowed inside or possibly something else.

"Hiccup? Hiccup?" Elsa asked.

"Hmm, what?"

"I asked are you ready to go inside?" Elsa replied pulling out of the hug.

Hiccup looked down and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Oh, yes. Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him inside the warm castle, though he didn't register that warmth, instead he was feeling heat coming from the hand of Elsa. A warmth that he hadn't felt in so long, nearly two years to be exact.

Hiccup dropped his books off in the library that he had received from the King and Queen via Trader Johann then went over to his room; the room had not changed except for a more firm mattress, which reminded him of home. The wood that he had slept on for years had transformed his back from soft to hard, allowing him to endure more punishment, so much so he hardly felt anything when he slipped or fell on his back.

The room was clean, there was hardly in dust in the air that he could see in the rays of sun beaming in from the window. Moving over to the window he propped it open to feel the cool wind blowing across the fjord.

He unloaded his satchel onto his bed, he put away his clothes in the drawers, and the tools he got from Gobber he put them under the bed.

Then as he was shaking the bag out a square frame fell out onto the floor. He picked it up and turned it over revealing a portrait of his mother and him. He just stared at it for what seemed like hours, his fingers brushing over the face of his mother again and again. Tears began to form in front of his eyes; he wiped them away furiously, even holding back a sniffle.

He thought he heard a knock at his door, but didn't turn; he just kept staring at his mother.

"Hiccup? Lunch is ready." Elsa said to him.

She saw him turn to her, eyes teary.

"Hiccup, are you okay?" She asked moving into the room, closing the door behind her.

He looked at her, his only friend in the world. Her hair had grown to just past her shoulders, it woven into a single long braid. And the front of her hair had a part in it on the left side of her forehead. She was wearing a blue skirt and sweater with black shoes.

"Yes, of course" Hiccup replied before sniffling again.

Elsa looked at the picture of him and his mom, Elsa had been told by her parents not to talk about Hiccup's mother in front of him. To give him some time to himself, before asking.

"You know Hiccup, it is okay to cry."

"No, I must not cry because Vikings don't cry on Berk." Shaking his head in response.

Elsa just looked at him before speaking again, "Hiccup, we are not on Berk, let it go."

Hiccup looked back at Elsa and blinked then dropped the frame and collapsed onto the floor. He put his head into his hands and let everything he had been holding in for two years out. He cried until he felt Elsa come up to him and wrapped her arms around his stomach, he turned in her grasp and looked at her with his large green tear filled eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He wheezed out, turning his head from side to side, the tears rolling down his cheeks and falling onto his tunic.

"You don't have to be sorry Hiccup, just let it go, let it all go." Elsa said as she turned his head toward her neck and shoulder.

And he did, he cried his eyes out, letting everything that had festered in him for over two years go out of him and onto Elsa's shoulder.

He tried to talk, but another wave of tears came out. Finally he was able to speak "a dragon, a dragon took my mother away from me," more tears came out. "I…I miss her so much" Hiccup said as another tremor took ahold of his body, his hands moving to grip Elsa's sweater to pull her closer to him . Elsa just stayed silent letting her friend cry, she didn't want to offend him by saying she knew how he felt because she didn't. She had never lost anyone, so she didn't know what to feel at that moment. Elsa just repeated what she had said moments ago "let it go," she would repeat that mantra till Hiccup had gotten everything out and was ready to talk.

Idun heard everything through the closed door, Kai and Gerda came down the hallway having heard the crying before stopping about a few feet short of the Queen. She looked at them and waved them off, before leaving herself to allow her daughter to take care of Hiccup. She did not want to show up as a mother in Hiccup's room, being that he would become envious of Elsa since he lost his mother to a dragon raid. Even though she could still be alive, the chances of being taken by a dragon and not being killed were extremely low. No, she would give her daughter and Hiccup some room to advance their friendship, a friendship that would lead to a loving relationship hopefully a few years down the road.


"Hiccup, come on already, you have been studying and reading for three weeks straight, let's take a break and explore the forest a bit." Elsa said as Hiccup popped his head up from behind the wall of books he had been reading in his corner of the library. Hiccup discovered something about himself while in the small library, he loved to read, read about mathematics, science, and something called engineering. He liked the way the people in the books had created massive things that brought people and kingdoms together, and he loved looking at the hand drawn pictures. This was something he wanted to do in the future, he wanted to build.

After marking the place where he had stopped reading, he stretched hearing several muscles pop as he did so. He then followed Elsa out of the castle and into the nearby forest which was located beyond the town.

"Elsa, do your parents know we left?" Hiccup asked realizing they had left out the back way as if to avoid arousing suspicion.

"No." Elsa replied nonchalantly

"Umm, won't we get in trouble for sneaking out?" Now really worried that they will get in deep trouble. Normally he would head back home since whenever he followed the other children on Berk they would always play a trick on him or lay a trap for him and laugh at his expense.

"Not if we are home, before they notice."

"Umm, ok, if you say so." Hiccup replied not wanting to chicken out. "Where are we going anyway?"

"Valley of the Living Rock." Elsa replied as she started to skip joyfully down the grassy path.

"What's that?" Hiccup asked as he picked up his pace.

"I heard it's a place where the rocks come alive and actually speak to you."

"Amazing." Hiccup replied excitedly.

Hiccup took Elsa's hand as they went deeper into the woods.

High above them laid storm clouds that were quickly gathering in strength, as they swirled and mixed together they let forth a single snowflake which was followed by billions more.

Hiccup looked up to see it was snowing, having lived on Berk for over seven years he was used to this kind of weather, so he continued on, wanting to see a real live troll. He really wanted to see if they would take his left sock as Gobber said they would.

"Dear, where are Hiccup and Elsa? I can't find them anywhere" Agdar asked Idun as he came to an intersection in the hallways.

"I do not know, I have been looking for them everywhere." Idun replied, her voice laced with worry.

Anna skipped up to them in a sing song voice "I know where they are, mama."

"Where Anna? Where are the children?" Both asked fervently.

"In a place called Valley of the Living Rock" Anna replied happily before skipping off to her room.

"The Valley of the Living Rock; in this weather?!" The King yelled looking out of one of the massive windows flanking the side of the hallway to see snow coming down in sheets.

"My goodness, they will freeze to death!" She said grabbing her chest.

"Guards, Guards!" The King shouted.

Almost immediately the captain of the guards and a few men came running.

"Sir, what is wrong?" Captain Birger asked. The man looked formidable with his dark blue dress uniform with red shoulder epaulets and a black plumed bowler hat in his hand.

"Elsa and Hiccup left the castle to go to the Valley of the Living Rock, find them and bring back immediately."

"Yes, Sir!" The Captain and his guards left the hallway gathering more than a dozen men to use for the search.

As Birger took his men into the stables to get the horses he called out the orders, "listen up! Princess Elsa and Hiccup, Son of Berk have left the castle grounds and are believed to be at the Valley of the Living Rock. We are to find them and bring them back to the castle! Understood?" He yelled to his men as they were preparing their horses. Saddles being strapped on and coats for the horses being secured.

"Yes, Sir!" they replied back in one voice.

"Good, now Erik take four men and come in from the South, Baldur the East, Kjell the West and I will take the North. We will meet in the center, everyone ready?" He asked his men who were sitting on their respective horses, supplies and blankets behind them and they themselves wrapped in their thick green winter coats.

"Yes, Sir!" They replied in unison once again.

"Good, now ride!" He yelled as they galloped out of the stables past the gates and into the massive snowed filled forest.

"Elsa, I'm don't think this was a good idea." Hiccup said to Elsa as he leaned against a tree trunk.

The once peaceful dry forest was now covered in an ankle high blanket of snow; his measly fur vest gave little protection from the elements.

"Come on Hiccup, it's not that cold."

"Why don't I feel cold, it's well below freezing and it is snowing, but I don't feel cold at all. Hiccup lives farther North than I and even he is having trouble staying warm." Elsa thought as she looked at Hiccup who was stumbling from tree to tree. She could see his breath coming out in long plumes.

She went over to him and guided him to a dry clearing underneath a large tree, Hiccup hugged his legs to his chest to try and bring warm to himself, but it didn't work seem to work. As she put her arms around his body to give him a little bit of her warmth, she saw that his skin was turning pale and his lips, ears, and fingers were now blue.

"Hiccup can you hear me? Say something" Elsa urged to her young Viking friend.

"I…I'mmm sooo cccold, I ddon't feeeel myyy ffingerrss" He replied in a labored breath.

Hiccup was taking large breaths of air, every one of them sounded as if his lungs were being squeezed by someone's hand.

"Howw mmuchh fartherr to thee Vaalleyy? Maybe maybe weee cann makee it." Hiccup asked.

"Not much farther, but we should wait till the storm passes completely, before we go on." Elsa replied looking up at the sky to see that the storm was tapering off.

"I…I wouldd try ttoo walkk, but I…I can'tt feeel myy feeet." Hiccup said stuttering nearly every word.

Elsa was becoming scared now; she might have possibly led her friend to his death, just because she wanted to see those stupid rocks.

"Elllssaa?" Hiccup asked, eyes now drooping.

"Yes Hiccup what is it?"

"Whyy arree wee outtsiddeee, thee casttlee wasss sooo warmm, whyy did wee leaveee?" Hiccup asked confused trying to keep his head from falling back against the tree.

"Hiccup don't you remember, we left to see the trolls." Elsa said while bringing him even closer to her, trying desperately to warm her friend.

"Noo. Elssaa I wanttt youu to knowww that youu are myy best friendd in the wholleee world, youu have treatedd me betterrr thann my ownn fatherr." Hiccup replied sleepily, eye lids nearly shut.

"Hiccup?"

"…"

"Hiccup!?" Elsa screamed, shaking him.

"Hmmm, whattt isss ittt? I amm sooo tired."

"Hiccup, please stay awake, don't close your eyes" Elsa pleaded to him.

"Don't worryyy I won'tt fall asleeep. I will, I willl just resst my eyes." Hiccup said as he closed his eyes, his breaths getting shorter and quieter.

"Hiccup? Hiccup?!" She yelled, but got no reply. She looked around her, looking for anything, anyone to help her, but there was none. Tears came to her eyes and spilled over onto her cheeks, her friend was dying and it was all her fault.

"Help! Help anyone!" she yelled at the top of her voice into the old forest. The only response was the swaying of the trees and the occasional snow flake that landed onto her head.

She took her hand and wiped her tears away, but something caught her eye. Her hand had a bluish white glow on it, looking closer she saw that there was a mini snow ball hovering above her palm, swirling and moving. Frightened she flicked her wrist away from her and the snowball shot out and exploded beautifully nearly a dozen yards or so away from them. She felt mixed emotions flowing toward her hands and out her fingertips forming more balls of snow, she flicked her wrist once again this time toward the sky, the snowball went above the tree tops and exploded into hundreds of snowflakes. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened a little in amazement of the beautiful sight.

Suddenly she heard a twig snap and immediately put a protective hold around Hiccups still form.

"Hello! Anyone there?" Elsa asked urgently into the snowy fog.

"Princess Elsa?" A voice asked.

"Finally some help." She thought with joy. "Yes, I am Princess Elsa."

"Hey guys, over here, I found them!" The voice called out.

Out of the fog came a Royal Guardsman riding on a horse.

He leapt off the horse and ran over to her, "Are you alright Princess Elsa?" He asked calmly while kneeling to look over the young princess.

"Yes, I am, but Hiccup won't wake up." She replied with tears coming down her face.

As she said those words, three more Royal Guards came running up to them, two carrying a blanket and one a whistle.

One of the Guards took hiccup out of her arms and wrapped him tightly in the blanket holding him to his chest while the second Guard came to her and put another blanket around her. The third Guard walked a little bit away before blowing three times into the whistle; in the distance she heard three separate whistles.

A moment later she saw the Captain of the Guards and a few more men come riding to their area.

"What is the condition of Mr. Hiccup?" Birger asked.

"Sir, Mr. Hiccup has what appears to be severe hypothermia. If we don't get him back to the castle soon, he won't make it." Erik replied quickly.

"Okay, Erik take Hiccup and get on the horse, Sven get on the horse too and take the reins. Put Hiccup in between you, two warm bodies is better than one."

The men did as they were ordered.

"Now, ride straight for the castle, and tell the physician what happened. Go!" The captain said slapping the horse on its ass sending it speeding away.

"Baldur, Kjell take your groups and ensure their success, Go!"

"Yes, Sir!" And off they went providing security for the wounded Hiccup.

"Princess Elsa, are you ready to go home?" He asked extending her his hand.
"Yes" Elsa replied taking his hand

He helped her up and secured her onto his horse.

"Now, hold on tight."

" " She replied grasping onto his coat.

Seconds later they were galloping toward the castle away from the frozen death that became the forest.


The Royal Guards that were stationed at the castles gates were on the lookout for the Captain and his men, suddenly out of the wintery fog came two groups of men, with one horse out in front with what appeared to be three riders.

"Open the gates!" The gate guards shouted.

The men were barely able to open it just wide enough before a horse came through galloping at full speed before skidding to a stop feet from the entrance doors.

"We need a physician immediately!" Erik shouted getting off the horse and running into the castle nearly out of breath.

The castles physician was an old balding man with decades of experience from both peace and war times.

"Quickly, give him to me." Doctor Aaron said as Erik gave him the lifeless Hiccup, arms sagging towards the ground.

The doctor laid Hiccup down onto a bare wooden table near a fireplace that had a roaring fire in it.

"Nurses, help me take off his wet clothes." The two young nurses did as he asked, taking off his clothes down to his lower dry loincloth.

"Now, we need to put his dry clothes on, and then we can start to rewarm him." Moments later Hiccup was redressed in his usual attire, still looking pale, but alive nonetheless.

"Nurse, boil some water, get two glass bottles and two cloth bags to place them in. We also need blankets, go." Aaron said and the nurses went their separate ways to gather the supplies.

"Erik, bring a mattress in here and put it in the corner." He pointed to the corner furthest away from the window that lay in the center of the wall.

"Sir." Erik clicked his heels together then left to retrieve the mattress.

A moment later he returned and placed the mattress in the corner near the fire place.

"Doctor, I have brought the hot water and the bottles" the nurse said as she placed the items on the table away from Hiccup.

"OK, now carefully put the glass bottle in the cloth bag and pour the boiling water in to it, cork it and wrap the rest of the cloth around the bottle to insulate it." Aaron said to the young woman, who looked no older than twenty.

The second nurse came in with many blankets laying them down on the table next to her sister, who was wrapping the second bottle.

"Ready doctor." The nurse answered.

Aaron grasped the clothed hot water bottle seeing if it burned his hand, it didn't.

"Good, now place them under his armpits," they did as he asked "now, what comes next might sound unusual but it is necessary to save his life. Understand?"

"Anything doctor." The nurses replied.

"Now, we need to wrap him in a blanket and rewarm him through body heat, too much heat at once can cause his blood to rush back to his heart, which will kill him." The older man said in a calm voice.

"You," he pointed to the older of the two nurses "lay down on the mattress." The eldest sister did as instructed lying down on the mattress.

"And you," pointing to the younger sister "wrap him tightly in the blanket and place Hiccup in between you two and hug him to your sister; understand."

"Yes, doctor" she did as she was told and a moment later, Hiccup was sandwiched in-between two warm bodies.

The doctor himself took another blanket and laid it across the three occupants, then went over to the fireplace and stoked the fire. Grabbing a log and tossed it into the fire, which caused the fire to flare up and expel its heat into the room.

"I need to inform the King and Queen of his condition, yell if he wakes up or his condition changes" the older man said to his two nurses.

"Yes, doctor" the two replied dutifully.

As the doctor closed the door he leaned against the far wall and wiped his face, which had been dribbling with sweat. He saw that Erik had not strayed from the vicinity and was looking expectedly at him.

"Stay by this door and come get me if my nurses yell, understand?"

"Yes, Sir." Erik replied with a salute.

He nodded his head and made his way to the royal chambers, after a few moments he arrived at their door and knocked.

"Come in" he heard Agdar say through the door.

Opening the door he found Elsa sitting on the bed being scolded by both parents, he quickly made his way over to Elsa and checked to see that she was alright.

"Strange, you're warm. You don't show any signs of hypothermia." The doctor said scratching his head in bewilderment.

"Yes, she is and will stay that way for months to come since she is now banned from leaving the castle grounds." The King said as he looked at Elsa angrily.

"But father I didn't know it was going to snow!" Elsa cried out.

The King was going to retort but the doctor interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Hiccup's fate is in God's hands now, if he wakes up he will live and if he doesn't…" The doctor's voice faded out.

He heard a gasp followed by the beginnings of crying coming from Elsa.

"Your Majesty, whatever punishment you have for Elsa fails in all categories, especially when Elsa believes that she could have possibly just killed her best friend." The older man responded in a hushed tone. "That thought alone is worse than several months' groundings."

"Yes, I suppose it is," The King said in a calmer tone. "When will we know for sure?"

"In a few hours; next morning for sure. Even if he survives, he will be bedridden for days." Agdar nodded his head in response to the consensus.

"Of course, one day at a time. Thank you Doctor Aaron." The King said to the veteran doctor, who could have just possibly saved his future son-in-law.

"Yes, anytime. I will now attend to my patient, goodnight your Majesty, my Queen."

"Goodnight" Idun and Agdar replied closing the door and then turning to have a serious talk with their daughter.


The next morning came with soft snores from two nurses and one doctor; said doctor was asleep on a chair next to the nurses. Slowly sunlight started pouring in from one of the windows, which creepily spread across the floor, up the chair and up the doctor's body till it reached his face. The man blinked toward the sunlight and put his hand in front of his face to block the bright light. As he got up to stretch he walked over to the nurses and the lump that lay in-between them, he slowly tugged down the blanket to reveal Hiccup breathing in through his nose thus not creating a snore.

"He's alive, thank you God." The over relieved doctor said in a whisper.

There was a knock at the door, he turned around and went out said door to see many guards, the Agdar, Idun, Anna and Elsa waiting with expectant looks.

A lone tear fell down his face, but he smiled "he's alive, he will pull through."

Everyone let out a breath, some leaning against the walls and other bringing their hands up to their chest in relief.

"May we see him?" The Royal family asked, almost in unison.

"In a moment, I need to move some things around" he said before moving back into the room and gently waking the nurses, who in turn fixed up the room including rewrapping Hiccup in a fresh blanket and restarting the fire.

"Go get yourselves something to eat and bring some sweets back for Hiccup, he needs food with energy."

"Yes, doctor" the two replied before moving out of the room.

The tired doctor looked down at Hiccup and watched him as he released breath after breath confirming that he wasn't going to leave this world just yet. He walked over to him and lifted his head up sliding a pillow underneath his head, before gently putting his head back down and stroking his hair.

He walked back out to the Royal Family and nodded his head to them, allowing them to come inside and look at the sleeping Hiccup. Elsa walked over and sat down on the mattress beside her sleeping friend, she stroked his hair and just watched him sleep, and relieved she had not ended her friend's life.

After a few moments Idun spoke up. "Elsa come on; let us give the doctor some space to work."

"I would like to stay till he wakes up" She responded, not removing her eyes from Hiccups prone body.

"Elsa, you ne…" the Queen started before being interrupted by the doctor. Normally no one dared interrupt the Queen, but she let her old friend interrupt her as long as it was important.

"It's alight your Majesty, I need to freshen up anyway." He said to the two before turning to look at Elsa, "You do realize it could be hours or days before he awakens?"

"Yes, I will stay with him till he awakens no matter what. I owe him that much at least." She responded in a hushed tone.

"Alright then, come get me when he wakes up."

Elsa didn't reply, she just stared at Hiccup.

Slowly everyone filtered out of the room leaving the two alone.

"Hiccup I am so sorry for everything, please wake up, I don't want to live without you. You bring so much excitement to my otherwise boring day, even if it is only for one month out of three years. Anna and I have fun when you are not here but you bring a breath of fresh air to this old castle." Elsa whispered as tears came rolling down her cheeks down and onto her sweater, she reached out and fished for his hand before finding it and grasping it.

"I will always be by your side either as your friend or something more; I will always be here for you to talk to or as a shoulder to cry on, I…I care so much about you and would hate to lose you, so please wake up." Elsa finished as she look down at Hiccups face wondering if he was dreaming and if he was, was she in said dream.

It had been nearly four days since the incident and Hiccup had not yet woken up, Elsa was growing more and more worried. She never left Hiccups side except to follow him when he was transferred to his room, a more softer bed was brought in; his harder bed was put aside for the time being. She now slept beside him at night and read her books near him during the day, she even ate her meals in his room, and the only time she left him was for the bathroom. Naturally her parents were concerned that she would make herself ill with being confined to one room for such a long period of time.

"Elsa, you need to take a bath, you smell rancid" Her mother told her while pinching her nose with her thumb and index finger.

"But mom, what if Hiccup wakes up and I am not here?" Elsa replied alarmed at the thought of leaving Hiccup alone.

"If he does wake up, then we will fetch you after you are done."

"No, I won't leave until Hic…" Elsa wasn't able to finish her sentence because of a groan that was heard behind her.

"Uggh, my head hurts." Hiccup said as he slowly sat up and put his hand to his head to cradle it.

"Hiccup!" Elsa cried as she leapt onto Hiccup.

Hiccup had the wind knocked out of him as Elsa's head made contact with his chest.

"And a hello to you to." Hiccup replied.

As he looked up at Elsa who was now on top of him, one thing ran past his mind that was slowly taking a hold of him.

"Elsa, you need a bath, you smell rancid."

Idun gave a chuckle as her daughter went red faced, sat back and crossed her arms.

"Well you don't smell like a garden of roses either Hiccup."

"That may be true but I will take one as soon as I get some food into my belly, I am famished." He replied clutching his stomach.

And so after eating lunch and being bathed, the pair was in the library catching up on their studies that had been pushed aside because of Hiccup's incident. He wore a green and purple robe that was given to him by one of the maids after he changed into a fresh set of clothes.


"Now, Mr. Hiccup 'why does water freeze?'" Ms. Hornsby asked looking up from her textbook.

"All molecules, including water molecules are constantly moving. Heat makes them move faster, cooling slows them down. When water gets cool enough, molecular movement is slowed enough that the molecules stick to each other and form ice crystals." Hiccup replied with ease.

"Very good Mr. Hiccup. Princess Elsa name three comedies done by Shakespeare."

"The Comedy of Errors, Love's Labour's Lost and The Tempest" Elsa also replied with ease.

"Very good you two, that is all for this session. Mr. Hiccup I will see you again in three years" Ms. Hornsby said to Hiccup while extending her hand; he took it and gave a good handshake.

"Until next time" she said before leaving the two children alone.

"Where does the time go Hiccup? It feels like only yesterday that you were arriving at the castle," Elsa said as she turned toward him and gave him a small sad smile.

"Honestly I don't know, but four of those days I was asleep. And hey you still have me till tomorrow morning. What do you want to do? Anything you want." Hiccup said trying to uplift the mood.

"Anything? Hmm, let us talk about day to day life on Berk. Since you already know what life is like here in Arendelle." Elsa asked

"Hmm, okay fair enough."

And so Hiccup filled her in on daily life on Berk including living with dragons that tried to destroy their village with weekly raids. He also told her about living with a father where nothing was ever good enough and finally having no friends or having a friend one day and the next they bullied you or made fun of you.

Elsa had gone to bed feeling awful for Hiccup; everyone was always nice to her and her sister Anna. Whether it was because they truly liked her or because she was a princess; he had hoped it was the former. As she got up to see Hiccup off, she put on her best winter outfit and went to the library where the new books for Hiccup were waiting. She walked down the hallway to see Hiccup closing the door to his room with his satchel filled with his clothing and materials.

"Hiccup, wait for me" Elsa called out.

Hiccup turned and waited for Elsa.

"You look nice today, not to say that you don't look nice everyday" Hiccup said quickly trying to recover from what he thought would have been a rude comment.

"Thank you" Elsa said as her face turned crimson.

Neither said anything for a moment as they walked out of the castle, a Royal Guard following close behind.

"Are those the books for me?" Hiccup asked breaking the momentary silence.

"Oh yes, here you go." Elsa replied while handing over the books to Hiccup who dumped them into his satchel.

Hiccup could see the King and Queen talking to Gobber; he still remembered when it had been his mom that had come to pick him up and not the blacksmith.

"Well, I guess this is it till next time" Hiccup said as he put his bag onto the gangplank and turned to look at Elsa.

"Yes, till next time" she replied sadly.

Hiccup took the initiative and hugged Elsa to him, surprising her, but returned the gesture eagerly. "Thank you for everything, I will count the days till we see each other again."

"I too" Elsa said.

"Hiccup! Come on. We don't want to waste good winds on hugs now!" Gobber shouted to the pair. Slowly the pair separated before they said their final goodbyes and watched as they drifted farther and farther apart.

As Elsa walked with her mom and dad she turned to them, "Mother, Father I discovered something about myself in the forest. I can make magic, I was able to make snowballs form in the palm of my hand. What… what is wrong with me?" Elsa asked looking up at her parents only to receive looks of horror and realization.

One thought raced through both their minds "A power no man has ever possessed."

They now knew what power had been given to their daughter and it was the power to control ice and snow. The King looked down at his eldest daughter and asked how she discovered her powers and she told him everything. "So it is controlled by emotions." He thought to himself. "Elsa it may be hard for you to understand but you must try and limit your use of these powers until we can figure out what is the true extent of them." Agdar told Elsa.

"Yes, father. Can I go show Anna my magic?"

Agdar thought for a moment, thinking back to what Gothi had said. "Your second daughter; holds the key to helping Elsa through her tribulations." Elsa looked at him expectedly. "So Anna is the key that can help Elsa with these powers."

"Yes, you may. Just be careful." He replied.

Elsa ran off to tell Anna about her powers. Agdar turned to Idun who had a look of shock written across her face. "I must dispatch a letter to Gothi and ask if she can help. Surely she will know what to do."

Idun could only nod her head at the realization that Gothi's reading had actually come true. And now her daughter had magical ice powers. She hoped all would turn out well.
