Arendelle

The next morning

Anna was up bright and early today for the first time in a while, but she was on a mission and she needed her boyfriend to help her with it. She was currently in the stables knowing that Kristoff helped get the horses ready for the guards to patrol the outer areas of Arendelle which happened every week.

"Krsitoff?" Anna called out as she entered the stables and she looked around, she smiled as she saw her horse getting brushed by a stable hand.

"Your Highness, Kjekk is doing well, there was a slight concern with one of his shoes, but it is all fixed" the stable hand told her and Anna smiled.

"Thank you, Kjekk is a special horse... thank you for caring for him... have you seen Kristoff around?" Anna asked looking around and the stable hand frowned.

"I last saw him in the saddle room, apparently some saddles have been destroyed" the stable hand stated and Anna's eyes widen in shock.

"It is just from wear and tear, I had go and order some more" Kristoff explained as he walked up scaring Anna and he smiled.

"Oh, at least it was not more serious... but I thought Elsa and I ordered more saddles last time" Anna replied with a head tilt.

"Did you? That is strange... I will make a note of that, anyway... Johan, could you please keep me informed?" Kristoff asked and Johan nodded.

"Will do Kristoff" Johan replied and Kristoff smiled at the boy.

Anna and Kristoff left the stables and went on a walk.

"I am surprised to see you awake at this time" Kristoff told Anna and she stuck her tongue out.

"I can get up early... anyway, I want to ask a bit of a favour" Anna told Kristoff and the man looked at her.

"Oh?" Kristoff replied with a confused tone.

"As you know, Bruno has a power... I talked with him yesterday and I think he truly can do much more with his gift... mainly the sand and I was hoping you would take him up to the trolls" Anna told him and Kristoff looked surprised.

"Why me? You and Elsa both know the way" Kristoff replied and Anna looked down.

"Elsa and I have duties to attend to... but I was also hoping that you would talk to him, help him overcome to the fear of his gift... he calls it a curse, no matter how much Elsa and I correct him... maybe you could help him" Anna informed Kristoff who raised an eyebrow.

"I don't have a power, I wouldn't be able to help" Kristoff replied and Anna smiled at him.

"You may not have a power, but you can be a brother figure to Bruno" Anna suggested and Kristoff raised an eyebrow before he smiled.

"Okay" Kristoff replied and Anna smiled before she kissed Kristoff and left for the castle.

Kristoff looked over to the area of the mountain where the trolls lived and he looked to the sky before he looked to back to the stable. He went to woke up Sven and the two headed to where the sled was located. Kristoff got Sven secured to the sled and gave him a pat.

"We are off to see the trolls" Sven who looked excited "I know and yes you can play with the younger ones" Kristoff stated and Sven made a happy sound.

Kristoff and Sven walked to the bakery and smiled seeing Marius setting up the outdoor stand.

"Oh good morning Kristoff, Sven... where are you off today?" Marius asked and Kristoff smiled at the man.

"Up to the mountain, however... I was wondering if I could take Bruno up with me?" Kristoff asked and Marius looked shocked.

"Up on the mountain, why?" Marius asked and Kristoff smiled.

"Just a request by Anna" Kristoff replied and Marius nodded his head.

"Well... if her highness, requested it, I can not say no, can I?" Marius replied in a cheeky tone and Kristoff chuckled.

"That is true" Kristoff replied and Marius looked at Kristoff.

"You will take care of him, won't you?" Marius stated and Kristoff looked surprised.

"Of course, I know the mountains around here well and I will teach him a few tricks if he ever needs to travel over the mountains" Kristoff replied and Marius smiled.

"Good, I have come to see Bruno as a son, so take care of him... when will you be back?" Marius asked and Kristoff thought about the trolls.

"It will be a day trip at the least, maybe overnight... but I promise will keep him safe" Kristoff told the man and Marius searched Kristoff's eyes for any hint of a lie before he then left to get Bruno.


Inside the bakery

Marius headed to the back of the bakery to where Bruno was pulling out some scones from the oven and he smiled at the young man.

"Bruno" Marius called out and Bruno looked over to him.

"Is something wrong?" Bruno asked and Marius shook his head.

"Not at all, Kristoff wants to take you up the mountain" Marius informed the younger man and Bruno looked to the front door.

"Why?" Bruno asked and Marius looked at him.

"Princess Anna requested it of Kristoff" Marius replied and Bruno nodded.

"How long?" Bruno asked as he took off the apron.

"Kristoff tells me it would be either a day trip but could be an overnight trip" Marius replied and Bruno nodded as he headed to the front.

"Good morning Kristoff" Bruno greeted and Kristoff smiled.

"Morning Bruno.. are you ready to go?" Kristoff asked looking at the outfit that Bruno had on.

"Would this be alright to wear?" Bruno asked pointing to his clothes and Kristoff nodded.

"Yeah, they are fine" Kristoff answered and Bruno nodded then turned to Marius.

"See you later, Marius... don't forget that the next batch of scones are nearly ready to go into the oven" Bruno told his boss and Marius nodded. Bruno got into the sled and soon the two men were on the way to the mountain.


The trip up the mountain

Kristoff and Bruno sat in silence, they had not really been around each other.

"There is something... that yo should know about the place I am taking you to" Kristoff startled Bruno who jumped and then nodded.

"Sure, what is it?" Bruno replied and Kristoff took a breath.

"It is called Troll Meadow, I was raised there and the beings there are rock trolls" Kristoff stated calmly and Bruno looked surprised.

"Rock trolls? Aren't they dangerous?" Bruno asked thinking that trolls were large and scary.

"Not at all... they raised Sven and myself, even teaching me how to understand Sven" Kristoff replied and Bruno looked amazed.

"Why are you taking me to them?" Bruno asked and Kristoff glanced briefly to him.

"Anna believes that they could help you, accept your gift... she is not a fan of you calling it a curse... I understand that your family and the village saw it as that, but you are and can be much more... I share Anna's theory that you can control the sand" Kristoff told Bruno and Bruno smiled.

"Thank you... I am trying to call it a gift..." Bruno started as he got lost in memories of the fear in people's eyes and Kristoff glanced at him in concern, he decided to lightly tap Bruno on the shoulder which pulled him out of the memories.

"We will be there soon" Kristoff whispered and the two sat in silence as the sounds of nature surrounded them.


Troll Meadow

Kristoff stopped the sled and Sven looked happy looking around.

"Here we are" Kristoff told Bruno and Bruno looked around and saw just round rocks scattered around and he looked at Kristoff.

"I am confused here" Bruno stated and Kristoff chuckled.

"Just you wait" Kristoff stated and he jumped down on the lower area and then to Bruno's amazement the trolls started to roll towards Kristoff and then Bruno's eyes widen more as the rocks changed forms. One of the trolls, walked over to Kristoff glancing quickly towards where Bruno stood.

"Kristoff, welcome back... who is this?" Bulda asked and Kristoff smiled at the troll that raised him and Sven.

"This is Bruno Madrigal..." Kristoff looked to Bruno and gestured to come down which Bruno did "he can see the future, but Anna asked me to bring him up here... he sees his gift as a curse" Kristoff explained and Bruno looked away.

"You have a great power deep within you... you have not yet tapped into it fully" a wise old voice soundly with an echo around the little meadow and Bruno watched as a larger rock troll appeared and Bruno could tell that this was the leader.

"Grand Pabbie" Kristoff greeted with a bow of his head to which Bruno followed.

"We can help you connect to your deeper power, unlock it" Grand Pabbie revealed and Bruno looked shock.

"What is the deeper power?" Bruno asked and Pabbie shrugged.

"It would have to be the sand" Kristoff revealed and Pabbie looked to Kristoff in surprise.

"Please explain" Pabbie replied and Bruno swallowed.

"When I look into the future, I make a circle of sand then in the middle, I place five piles of leaves, four small at North, South, East and West, the final pile is in the middle... I also put sand on top of the leaves before lighting them on fire... then a dome of sand appears as my eyes glow emerald, at the end of the vision I can make an emerald image of the outcome" Bruno explained and Pabbie nodded.

"Would you be able to show us?" Pabbie asked kindly and Bruno bit his lip and before he could say no, Kristoff stepped forward.

"I would be happy to help" Kristoff stated and Bruno nodded.

"If you are sure" Bruno replied and Kristoff smiled at him.

"You can not help what you see, no matter what the end image comes out as, I am here for you... I see you as a brother" Kristoff revealed and Bruno looked shocked before he smiled.

Soon some trolls came back with the supplies and everyone watched as Bruno set everything up and Kristoff sat opposite to him.

"You better hang on" Kristoff nodded at Bruno's instructions and grabbed Bruno's hands.

The sky darken, a soft wind blew and then the sand started to form the dome, emerald light shot around the dome. Inside, Kristoff saw images of him holding something and then there was Anna in another, then an image started forming of Anna running like something was chasing her, he watched as he rode on Sven and grabbed Anna hugging her close, watching something in the distance. Kristoff swallowed as the dome disappeared

"Hmm... here" Bruno whispered as he handed over the final image of where Anna and himself watched something in the distance.

"Thank you for that, Bruno... I believe I know how to help you now... please lay down here" Pabbie stated pointing to a flat area and Bruno got to his feet nerves hitting him as he laid down.

"Are you sure about this?" Bruno asked and Pabbie smiled.

"I am sure, I can sense something hidden within you... now close your eyes" Pabbie replied and soon there was a soft beating on the ground as the trolls stomped their foot and Kristoff watched amazed as the fire stones around their necks glowed and a dome of various colours formed around the meadow.


Spirit world

Bruno looked around with shock that he connected to the spirit world and he saw that he was back at Casita.

"Mi pequeño..." a male voice echoed around Casita "estoy tan orgulloso de ti" Bruno turned around so fast and saw standing there at the doorway was his father.

"Papi?" Bruno asked shocked and Pedro Madrigal nodded and walked over placing a hand softly against Bruno's cheek.

"Fuiste muy valiente al irte" Pedro replied before letting go watched as Bruno looked down.

"No me querían ni me necesitaban ... me temían, nunca quise eso" Bruno whispered as Pedro sighed.

"Lo sé y lo vi todo, no eras feliz allí, sin embargo, has hecho una vida en Arendelle y veo tu amor creciente por Elsa" Pedro replied and Bruno blushed causing Pedro to laugh before he calmed down.

"No es que esté feliz de conocerte finalmente, papá, pero ¿por qué estás aquí?" Bruno asked and Pedro smiled at his son.

"Para guiarte principalmente ... sin embargo, otro trabajo es explicar cuál es tu poder, no es solo ver el futuro, hay un poder más grande aún encerrado en tu núcleo, te ayudaré a desbloquearlo" Pedro revealed and Bruno looked shocked before he looked away remembering the stares and the people that hated hearing what he saw. Then a flashback of seeing Pepa's anger on her wedding day.

"Papá, tengo miedo ... ¿y si no consigo desbloquear el poder?" Bruno spoke up after pulling himself out of his memories.

"Brunito, por favor escúchame ... creo en ti y sé que puedes desbloquear el poder ... pero hay una cosa que necesito que hagas por mí" Pedro told his son firmly and Bruno felt tears form hearing that his father believes in him having never heard that before. Bruno felt shame flood his body, remembering his mother and how she looked at his gift seeing only the bad like everyone else.

"¿Qué sería eso?" Bruno asked softly as he wiped the tears away and he went to sit on the stairs which Pedro followed. Pedro sat facing him and then grabbed Bruno's hands.

"Te ruego que no llames más a tu regalo una maldición ... por favor escucha a Elsa, a Anna, a Kristoff ... tienes un gran destino por delante, pero necesitas aceptar quién eres ... cree en ti mismo ... cree en mi" Pedro said firmly and Bruno looked into his father's eyes and he nodded.

"Bueno lo haré" Bruno replied still hearing that words that his father believed in him and his gifts.

Soon, Bruno was seated in the middle of the courtyard of Casita and Pedro guided him through meditation to find the lock that held the power within and about 10 hours in, Bruno finally released the lock and sand formed a cyclone with him in the center. Pedro was incredibility proud of his son and he watched as Bruno's eyes opened showing just his chocolate brown eyes.

"Ahora puedes entrenar tu poder por completo, habiendo obtenido acceso a él" Pedro told his son and Bruno smiled at him.

"¿Qué pasa con mis visiones?" Bruno asked and Pedro smiled at him.

"Aún los tendrás, ese fue mi regalo para ti, pero la arena ... que te fue regalada por otro" Pedro revealed and Bruno looked shocked.

"¿Quién me regaló la arena?" Bruno asked wondering where the gift of controlling sand came from.

"Ay hijo mio ... lo siento ... esa informacion es algo que no te puedo dar, debes encontrar las respuestas tu mismo" Pedro answered Bruno and he frowned thinking about who or what gave the gift.

"Te quiero papá ... seguiré haciéndote orgulloso" Bruno told his father and Pedro smiled at his son.

"Ya lo haces, antes de que me vaya ... ¿puedes hacer algo por mí?" Pedro told him with a soft smile and Bruno felt tears form.

"Por supuesto" Bruno replied curious.

"Sé fiel a ti mismo y a tu herencia, también ve y pide a Elsa una cita" Pedro said the first part firmly and then with a cheeky grin said the final part.

"PAPI!" Bruno yelled with a blush forming.

"Solo quiero verte feliz, puedo ver que ser panadero te da alegría porque te conecta con Julieta ... ustedes dos siempre estuvieron cerca" Pedro chuckled and Bruno nodded, he and Julieta had always been close, sure Pepa and he had a good sibling bond and was close at times, but they did bang heads a fair bit.

"Extraño a mi madre y a mis hermanas" Bruno muttered and Pedro hugged him before looking up to the sky and he gave a sigh.

"Es hora de que nos separemos ... tu amigo Kristoff se está preocupando, te quiero Brunito" Pedro whispered and Bruno's eyes widen and before he could say another word, he woke up and saw stars in the sky.


Troll meadow
Minutes before hand

The stomping of feet had stopped 30 minutes into Bruno going into his meditation state, that had been hours ago and now Kristoff was getting worried, it had been nearly 12 hours since Bruno and he arrived to the meadow.

"Kristoff, he will be fine... I can sense that the lock of Bruno's power has been undone... I am not sure why he is not awake" Pabbie stated and Kristoff looked to the slightly older man and Kristoff sighed.

"I just... I had promised Marius to protect Bruno, I just feel like I am going to get yelled out when I return" Kristoff replied and he looked over to a sleeping Sven.

"If it becomes longer, you better head to Arendelle and inform those that you need to" Pabbie stated calmly with a hand on the small cane and then before Kristoff could reply, Bruno gasped and Kristoff felt relief seeing the man awake.

"You went in deep, who came to you?" Pabbie asked as Kristoff helped Bruno sit up.

"Padre... sorry my father... he was killed when I was baby, he gave his life to save my mother, my siblings and I plus the villagers" Bruno replied and Pabbie looked proud.

"I am sorry for your loss" Pabbie said to Bruno, who smiled in thanks.

"Did you unlock the power?" Kristoff asked and Bruno smiled and he lifted his hand as sand started forming into a ball, which then fell apart.

"I will need to train... is there a place that I can" Bruno asked and Kristoff looked to Pabbie.

"The East mountain, no one goes up there" Kristoff stated and Bruno looked tot the East and he nodded.

"Thank you so much, to you all for your help in helping unlock my full power" Bruno told the trolls and Kristoff.

"You are welcome, please return if you ever need more help or even to visit, we like seeing Kristoff having more friends" Bulda stated loudly and Bruno nodded his head.

Soon the two men were back on the sled and headed back to Arendelle.


I really hope I did Sven justice, never wrote Sven, I decided to go to Once Upon A Time route, where Sven makes different noises or motions to which Kristoff understands.

I really hope I did Pedro well, I had decided to have him only speak in Spanish, it took me a few hours to get the conversation between Bruno and his father to how I pictured it.
