The End.
Two women travelled through howling winds and a blistering snowstorm. It relentlessly pelted their faces and bodies, assaulting their ability to continue their journey. Determined, they didn't surrender to the bitterness of the freeze, and trudged slowly forward, as much as they could on the icy tundra. One of the women was a tall, experience-hardened, older warrior with shock white hair, wearing exotic armor that recalled the East. The other one was younger, equally as brave, but youth's conviction of invincibility colored her boldness. They headed somewhere with purpose. They were adventurers and friends of the Princess Rapunzel of Corona. They had arrived here in Arendelle with the princess, her husband and the royal couple's children, two days ago. Unbelievably, it was summer. In the two days since they arrived, everything had frozen over. A severe, bizarre blizzard blew snow chaotically in all directions. Suddenly, they were confronted by a wall of mists. "This must be the wall of mists the trolls spoke about!" The older warrior, named Adira, hollered to the younger one, named Cassandra, over the roar of the winds.
"The ones they said no one could get through?"
Adira frowned. "The one they said we could get through if we were being truthful about our circumstances." She shouted back.
"Well, we were!"
They stepped forward in trepidation expecting to be violently cast out, or something worse.
Instead, there was a large whooshing noise and they found themselves in an enchanted forest. Large runes stood before them like silent immovable watchers, standing erect in stalwart judgment, eerily untouched by the swirling elements around them. The warriors walked through the forgotten woods until they reached a dark, gravelly beach. Then their breath caught, and they stood in place. They saw a frozen sea, wave after frozen wave met their line of vision. The white icy waves looked as if they froze while their crests were suspended in midair. A chill ran through them that didn't have anything to do with the cold. "This is dark magic!" The Cassandra yelled. "If it's this cold to freeze over a sea, we shouldn't be alive!"
"But we are alive! And this is what we are here for!" Adira fiercely reminded her. The older warrior stepped out on a frozen wave, walking to what seemed to be the center of the sea. On the other side she knew there was a magical river called Ahtohollan. They couldn't go that far, she knew, but this was close as they could get. She took the golden crystal she carried with her and stridently pierced the nearest ice wave with it, releasing a loud war cry as she did.
Even though the dark sea was frozen over solid, the icy wave bowed to the magic of the crystal. Beacons of light shot upward and flew into the air, into the clouds and they hoped into the falling snow. "There's goes some of the most powerful magic in Arendelle besides the Queen's." Cassandra breathed. She didn't know if it would be enough to combat or modify the queen's magic.
"But it's not the only powerful magic in Arendelle." Adira said under her breath.
"What?" Cassandra asked.
"You heard me." Asserted Adira. she continued ruthlessly. "Cassandra, you doomed them. You doomed the twins."
Cassandra couldn't believe her ears. "What are you talking about Adira?" Adira revealed to her what she knew, and Cassandra cried in denial. "Adira, stop!" She shouted. Adira thought she meant stop telling her the inevitable, but she heard ice crack underneath her. The crystal had done its magic and was melting the thick ice to a point now that it was breaking all the way through. "Adira!" Cassandra shouted, but it was too late, the old warrior fell through the frozen sea. "Adira!" She shouted again to no answer. She ran toward the cracked ice of the only unfettered wave to see if she could recover her or at least catch a glimpse of her in the freezing water, but the falling snowflakes and the ice remaining around it were so thick she couldn't see. As she rubbed snow off the waves, desperately trying to see anything, contemplating if she should take the risk of jumping through the ice herself, she wouldn't believe the woman was gone. They had gone through too much together on their quest to destroy evil magical artifacts or limit their power. The memories of their travels flashed through her memories, her mind reflecting backwards of how it had all ended here. She only hoped Rapunzel and her family got out ok.
