Chapter two
Elsa's point of view
(5 minutes before Bruno faints).
Elsa was growing annoyed with answering the letters for her hand in marriage and she just answered the second to last one.
"Elsa, I have an idea... well Kai gave the idea, so I better go and thank him if you agree..." Anna rambled and Elsa smiled at her younger sister.
"Anna, what is the idea?" Elsa asked and before Anna could reply, the sisters heard Olaf shouting their names and they looked at each other before running out of the office.
The sisters reached the ballroom and their eyes widen seeing the new baker Bruno out cold on the floor and Kai was walking in from the kitchen.
"Oh dear... I do believe that no one warned him of Olaf, well mainly Marius did not warn him" Kai stated and Kristoff came running in.
"I did not mean to hurt him... I just wanted to introduce myself" Olaf whispered looking down and upset.
"It is not your fault, Olaf... Baker Bruno had not been warned about you, I bet you that he will be a new friend for you to visit... you like visiting the bakery to smell the new and amazing scents" Anna stated and Olaf smiled.
Kristoff helped Kai get the lanky man to a sitting position and Kai left towards the kitchen holding the box of baked goods. Olaf went over to Kristoff, who simply kept an eye on Baker Bruno, while Anna went over to Elsa who was watching the kitchen door.
"You know Elsa, I saw the blush when you and Baker Bruno met" Anna stated and Elsa looked to her sister in surprise.
"I did not blush" Elsa replied and Anna smiled.
"Elsa, it is okay to like someone, I now know that I was in the wrong and truly in over my head with Hans... I got caught in his charms and well... he was the first guy to like me" Anna explained and Elsa looked at her sister before sighing.
"Anna, I can not just see anyone... I am queen and I have power over snow and ice... I have resigned myself to be single, I was in the office earlier answering many letters of hands in marriage, telling them no... yet in a bit of a nicer way" Elsa explained and Anna looked at Elsa.
"I know you, Elsa... you might have closed your heart away.. but your heart is not frozen and that there is a guy out there that you truly will fall for.. one that won't use you for your title or power" Anna stated firmly and Elsa smiled at Anna.
"You truly are amazing, Anna, never lose that" Elsa told her and Anna smiled at Elsa.
"So sorry it took so long to get the smelling salts, they had been misplaced" Kai stated as he entered the ballroom.
"Kai, I should wake him up... Olaf, could you stay out of sight just till Baker Bruno wakes up and is calm enough to meet you" Elsa told the snowman and Olaf pouted before nodding and headed upstairs and behind a wall.
Kristoff broke the small tablet of smelling salts and held it under Bruno's nose and the four watched as Bruno slowly woke.
"Baker Bruno?" Anna asked softly and there was a groan.
"Me duele la cabeza" Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Kai looked at each other at the foreign words "Donde?" Bruno opened his eyes and he jumped "your majesties... what happened?" Bruno asked and Anna looked at him in concern.
"What language were you speaking?" Anna asked and Bruno blushed.
"Spanish... it is my native language, on the trip here I was taught English by a kind couple" Bruno explained and Kai looked impressed.
"I had been wondering what your accent was, when we met last week" Anna told Bruno and he smiled.
"Did-did you catch what I said?" Bruno replied and Anna looked to Elsa.
"Me duel la ca.. cabe..." Elsa got out and Bruno nodded.
"Me duele la cabeza? Was that what I said?" the group nodded "it means I have a headache... what there anything else?" Bruno asked as Kai rushed off to the kitchen.
"Donda? I think" Anna replied and Bruno smiled at her.
"Donde... which means Where? If you want, I would be happy to teach you Spanish" Bruno offered and Anna grinned as Elsa nodded.
"That would be awesome" Anna said and Kai came out with a cup.
"Chamomile tea, to help calm you" Kai stated and Bruno nodded his head in thanks.
"What happened?" Kristoff asked and Bruno took a slip of the tea with a small smile remembering home.
"I remember entering the ballroom and there was... there was a voice and when I saw no one the voice said 'I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs' I glance down and there was a live snowman... then I woke up... sorry if it sounds crazy" Bruno stated and he looked up to see Anna looking at him.
"There is a walking and talking snowman named Olaf here... but before you say anything please let Elsa and I explain from the beginning and how Olaf came to be" Anna pleaded and Bruno nodded.
"Okay" Bruno replied and Elsa walked forward.
"I should start at the beginning... from the time when I was 5 and Anna was two, we would build a snowman which we named Olaf... Anna would draw images of Olaf, however when I was 8 years old and Anna was 5 at the time... she asked me to build a snowman... we went down to ballroom and we had fun, till I slipped on ice and my power hit Anna in the head... well our relationship, it was not the same for many years, but Anna kept bringing pictures of Olaf to my door seeing as I locked myself away from the world... however the last time she brought a toy she made and then about 2 years later..." Elsa stopped and she hugged herself unable to go on.
"Our parents died and it was the last time I knocked at Elsa's door in hopes of seeing my sister and mourning our parents with her... It was not till 3 years later on Elsa's coronation that I saw Elsa next and even then it was awkward... then I went and met Prince Hans, who was nice to me and I fell for his charm and looks... during the coronation ball, Hans proposed and I was excited, so I an with Hans to tell Elsa and to get her permission... well things happened and Elsa's power over ice and snow was revealed... I remember being in shock yet there was no fear..." Anna stopped and Bruno looked at the two sisters.
"So that was the cause of the eternal winter, Marius told me about" Bruno said softly and Elsa looked ashamed.
"You know" Elsa whispered and Bruno nodded.
"Marius did not know the full story, I know there is more, but I can relate in a small way... I will tell you another time, but please do go on" Bruno said softly and Elsa swallowed before she nodded.
"I ran up to the North Mountain..." pointing to the tall mountain seen in the window "I decided to test my power... to see what I could and I did not realise that when I recreated Olaf, I gave him life and when Anna found me with Kristoff, Olaf surprised me" Elsa explained and Bruno looked at her in amazement.
"That is incredible, you are powerful to create life" Bruno replied and Elsa smiled causing Anna to look happy.
"Thank you Bruno... there is still much to learn about my power... my gift... I had always thought it a curse cause of what I did to Anna, my father gave me gloves to help me conceal it, don't feel it... don't let it show" Elsa replied and Bruno looked pained before he looked to Elsa.
"You know, I wish... I could have done that with my gift" everyone looked shocked "I can see the future..." there were doubtful looks and Bruno sighed "I could show you, I just need sand, a pile of leaves and a match" Bruno replied and Anna looked to Elsa then to Kai.
"Kai, could you get those" Anna asked and Kai nodded still with a doubtful and slight mistrust look.
"Of course, your highness" Kai answered and he left the ballroom.
"Where were we?" Anna asked and Elsa frowned.
"How did Kristoff meet your highness?" Bruno asked and Anna blushed as Kristoff rubbed his head.
"I came across Anna in Oaken's Trading Post, up in the highs... friendly guy... anyway I entered covered in snow, wanting carrots for Sven... my reindeer... I also wanted two other things... a pick-axe and rope... after I left, Anna came running out with the rope, pick-axe and carrots which were in a sack... she wanted to go up to North mountain to get Elsa to stop the eternal winter that was slowly setting" Kristoff explained and Anna smiled.
"I remember that Kristoff and I started hearing someone talking, but we could not find the voice and then Olaf appeared, I screamed and kicked off his head which Kristoff caught and after calming down and realising who Olaf was, remembering my childhood, I gave Olaf his carrot nose" Anna said with a smile and Bruno looked around.
"Where is Olaf now?" Bruno asked and before anyone could answer, Olaf came jumping down the stairs.
"I am sorry that I scared you, but I love meeting new people" Olaf stated as he came closer and Bruno smiled at the snowman.
"It is alright now... now that I know how you came to be, I am happy to meet you" Bruno told him and Olaf smiled.
"So... just wait till you meet Marshmallow and snowgies" Bruno realised an eyebrow "my brothers and sisters... do you have siblings?" Olaf asked and Bruno looked down.
"I do... but... I left them, I felt unwanted and at times used for my gift of foresight... I kinda caused a bit of trouble at my sister's wedding" Bruno explained and Elsa looked at Bruno curiously.
"How many siblings do you have?" Anna asked and Bruno smiled sadly.
"Two sisters, we are actually triplets, I am the youngest and my sisters are Julieta, who can heal people with food..."
"That is so cool and helpful" Anna replied and Bruno nodded.
"Julieta... is my favourite sister... while my other sister Pepa and I kinda clashed... she can control the weather through her emotional state; such as happiness causes warmth and sunshine, whereas frustration and anger causes storms and strong rain..." Bruno explained and Anna glanced at Elsa who glanced back.
"Can she create snow though her emotions?" Elsa asked and Bruno frowned before shrugging.
"Maybe... but I have never seen it, I know she can create a hurricane... seeing as I accidentally caused her more worry and stress" Bruno revealed and Kristoff raised an eyebrow.
"Now did you do that?" Kristoff asked and Bruno sighed before looking down to his hands.
"I could see that Pepa was pacing while trying to keep being happy, I wanted her to let go of her emotions, I could see the love she and Felix had, I knew he adored her... but that back fired and I left as the hurricane started, I went back to the house grabbed a bag, wrote a letter and left as the reception was happening" Bruno explained and Anna hugged him while Elsa looked at him.
"You feel that you are a curse... don't you?" Elsa whispered and Bruno looked at her.
"Yes and... I feel like a freak due to what happens when my power is triggered to show the future" Bruno replied and just at that moment Kai entered with the supplies that Bruno said he needed for his power.
"Here is a bag of sand, some leaves and a match box" Kai stated and Bruno got to his feet before looking around,
"Would it be alright to do it in here? Just move the furniture to the walls" Bruno requested softly and Elsa nodded before sending the furniture sliding away to the walls on ice.
Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Kai and Olaf watched as Bruno pour the sand in a large circle then grabbing the leaves and putting them into four small piles in a square well the points of a square and then the remaining leaves he placed in the middle, then he grabbed the sand again and pour some over the four points. After pouring the sand, he made a small hole to reveal the leaves beneath and then he sighed.
"Who wants to see their future?" Bruno asked looking at each person and Elsa stepped forward.
"I will" Elsa stated and Bruno nodded.
"Step carefully, also pick up the train of your dress" Bruno stated and Elsa smirked and before Bruno's eyes the dress came just above Elsa's ankles and Bruno looked impressed.
"That is truly impressive, your majesty" Bruno stated and Elsa smiled at him.
Everyone watched as Elsa sat down opposite Bruno and watched as he lit the matches lighting each pile on fire.
"Elsa?" Anna called out and Bruno looked at her.
"It will be alright, but your majesty I suggest you hold on, it is about to get windy" Bruno stated offering his hands out and Elsa gently took them and she gasped as she took Bruno's hands, for his eyes glowed emerald green which was not seen by the others.
The sky grew darker as an emerald light appeared in the circle of sand and then a dome encased the two causing Anna, Kai, Kristoff and Olaf to jump back in shock as emerald light flashed and wind picked up outside of the dome causing Kristoff to cover Anna, yet holding her so both could watch Elsa and Bruno.
Encanto, Colombia
Unseen by the residents of Casa Madrigal as they were out helping around the village, the door to Bruno's room started to glow which had Casita happy to know her seer was still alright and using his gift.
Back in Arendelle
Inside the dome
Elsa was amazed to see the power that Bruno held within and she watched as the circle pf sand staring to blow softly and then four small piles was gathered into the dome and then she saw them, emerald images started to flash in the wall of sand and Elsa's eyes widen seeing the different images.
Elsa could not talk seeing different scattered images and soon the dome disappeared and there in Bruno's hand lay plate of emerald glass.
"Do you want to see this?" Bruno asked and Elsa nodded and Bruno handed it over.
Elsa gasped as she saw the image and then she looked to Bruno as tears formed in her eyes.
"Elsa... what is the image?" Anna asked worried at seeing tears form in her sister's eyes and Elsa just kept looking at Bruno.
"Can this truly happen?" Elsa asked with worry in her tone and Bruno nodded.
"It is one possible future... I have come to understand that there will be choice to make... but it may be a choice that is out of your hands, I best... I best go back to Marius, I have a feeling that he could be worried about me" Bruno replied and he got up while Elsa sat looking back at the image.
"Bruno... I am sorry about the slight mistrust..." Kai started and Bruno waved him off.
"I understand and I can see that you care deeply for the Queen and Princess, they are lucky to have you in their corner... if you excuse me... " Bruno ran out of the castle leaving the mess of sand in his haste to escape and also to get back to work.
Elsa looked to Anna, Kristoff, Kai and Olaf with a stern look in her eyes.
"I... we are not to let anyone know of his gift... people will hunt him... or even seek out his family... Anna could you and Kristoff clear up the mess..." Anna nodded still looking concerned to the emerald glass in her sister's hands "Kai, could you please get a few bags of sand here to the castle and place them in the basement" Kai nodded and left the ballroom as Elsa looked to Olaf "Olaf, you must never tell anyone what you saw here today... you are good at keeping secrets... but this is big, do you understand?" Elsa asked as Olaf nodded.
"I understand, Elsa" Olaf answered seriously and Elsa smiled at the snowman before she headed to her room and closed the door behind her and glanced at the picture again.
There in emerald glass with white outlines was her frozen in place and Elsa felt fear seeing the image thinking her power turns on her. Then Bruno's words entered her mind.
"It is one possible future... I have come to understand that there will be choice to make... but it may be a choice that is out of your hands" Bruno had told her and she swallowed before running over to her old chest of memories which lived in her wardrobe and softly placed the image between old clothes.
"That will not be my end" Elsa stated calmly as she closed the chest and then the wardrobe doors.
I was not going to have the reveal of Bruno's power in this chapter, but I decided to do it and well I hope you liked it.
