The Bakery
The next day
Bruno woke early and he felt the new power stirring within and he knew that he would need to begin training up on the East mountain. However there was one thing I wanted to do before he heads up and it hurt thinking about it, but he hoped that he was making the right decision.
He slowly walked down the stairs and he saw Marius working on some bread loafs.
"Good morning Bruno, are you feeling alright?" Marius asked and Bruno walked over to him and then shocked the man as he gave him a hug.
"Thank you for helping me" Bruno whispered and Marius looked worried as he pushed Bruno slightly away looking into the younger man's eyes.
"Bruno, you are scaring me... is everything alright? What happened yesterday?" Marius asked and Bruno gestured to the seats.
"Marius... there is something important I must tell you, something I hid from you and so many others" Bruno whispered as he got nervous and Marius looked at him in concern.
"You are not in trouble are you?" Marius asked and Bruno shook his head.
"No, but it is something I had tried to run away... I can not hide it much longer" Bruno told him and Marius looked concerned.
"What is it?" Marius asked and Bruno took a deep breath before he raised his hand and sand floated around.
"Before I came her,e I thought I only could see the future... but yesterday Kristoff took me to a place and I unlocked this new power, I need to go and train... I don't want to hurt you or anyone, I will be back when I feel strong enough to control my gifts" Bruno explained and Marius looked at Bruno as the sand fell to the floor and the younger man looked down.
"Bruno, were you scared on how I react?" Marius asked and Bruno looked to Marius with a small nod.
"Back home, I.. they did not like me for my gift... however, the reason why Kristoff took me up to the mountain is to see if there was more to my power and found there was" Bruno replied and Marius looked at him with a proud look.
"Bruno, I would never give hate or even be horrible to someone that has powers, I did not even fear Queen Elsa when her powers were revealed... I actually worried about her and hoped that she would be alright... I will tell you this... no matter what the future brings, you will always have me in your corner... I have come to see you as a son" Marius stated and Bruno hugged Marius as tears formed.
"Thank you" Bruno got out and and Marius rubbed his back.
"I sense there is something else as well" Marius stated as the two broke from their hug and Bruno nodded.
"I need to go and train this new power, I don't want to hurt you or anyway course I know sand can be... damaging if it gets into the eyes" Bruno stated and Marius nodded.
"Well, you will always have a place here when you return, please keep safe" Marius told him and Bruno nodded.
"I will and I will return" Bruno told him and Marius smiled before clapping Bruno on the shoulder.
Bruno went back upstairs to grab a few things and then he paused and glanced to the castle, he looked down as Elsa's face flashed in his mind and he looked up before taking a deep sigh. Bruno grabbed his bag and giving Marius one last hug, he headed towards to the castle, he wanted to speak to Elsa.
"Halt! State your business!" a young guard shouted with light brown hair and eyes as Bruno came closer and Bruno paused in his walking.
"I am here to see Queen Elsa, my name is Bruno" Bruno told him and then another guard came out and Bruno smiled seeing the guard.
"Morten, we have a trespasser..." Morten looked to Bruno who was keeping still and out of the way of the two guards.
"Oh, hello there Bruno... relax Magne... sorry about that Bruno, young Magne here is new to guard duty" Morten stated and Bruno nodded his head.
"Hello Magne, it is nice to meet you" Bruno greeted the young man and Magne just glared before walking away.
"Don't mind him... are you leaving?" Morten asked seeing the bag and Bruno shook his head.
"No, I will return... just heading in to see Kristoff and thank him for his help" Bruno replied and Morten raised an eyebrow.
"Very well" Morten replied and Bruno entered the castle courtyard and headed to the stables.
"Bruno?" Bruno jumped as he entered the stables and he turned to see Elsa looking at him.
"Hi... hi Elsa, I am surprised to see you here" Bruno told her and Elsa blushed as she looked down and upset.
"I got alerted that my father's horse had become sick... they do not think he will make it" Elsa whispered as tears formed and Bruno put his bag down and hugged the young queen as she cried into his shoulder and Bruno rubbed her back.
Bruno remembered when he was a child and the donkey that helped get his mother, father and the villagers to the river before his father sacrificed his life died and he remember the crying he heard from his mother and the older villagers as they thank the donkey for helping them.
The two stayed hugging for 30 minutes and Bruno looked to her and decided that he wanted to tell her his feelings before he left for the East Mountain.
"Elsa... I want to tell you that I think you are truly beautiful and that you rule with grace... our talks have been... I can never thank you enough... for helping me accept my power and my gifts... I know this is not the best of times to tell you... but I have fallen for you... and..." Elsa kissed him and then placed her hands on his cheeks and the kiss stopped.
"I have liked our talks as well and let me tell you... I felt something for you when I first saw you at the bakery" Elsa told him and Bruno smiled before he decided to ask her out in a better manner.
"Elsa, I might not be rich or a prince, but will you please do me the honour of courting me?" Bruno asked and Elsa giggled before she nodded.
"I will be honoured, Bruno Madrigal" Elsa told him and the two kissed.
Unseen by them there was a yellow butterfly flying out of our of the stables.
Else where
In the shadows, with only a flicker of a candle and silhouette hunched over a desk. There was wind and rain hitting the windows.
"Soon" a distorted voice muttered and then there was a flash of lightning.
East Mountain
3 months later
It had been 3 months since Bruno began his training and he felt that he was in control of his power. Elsa had visited him over the three months to come him and the two found that Bruno could create strong glass weapons and Elsa could create weapons from ice.
Soon, Bruno decided that it was time to return to the castle seeing as Elsa had asked him if he could move into the castle and he was happy to move in and be closer to her.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, there will be a bigger time jump in the next chapter. Also I am sorry that I did not write more of Bruno's training but this chapter was being a pain in the butt to write, so I decided to hold off and have Bruno do something cool (if you want a hint, have a read of A Different Kind of Magic, which is my HP/Encanto story, the upcoming chapter will have the hunt).
Also the Elsewhere part will be a few chapters away of the reveal.
