Chapter 2

Troll's prophecy

In one bleak day, a fearsome battle befalls, full of dark art and blasts of cold. And a ruler, with a frozen heart, shall bring destruction to the kingdom of isolation.

This prophecy was foretold by one of the mystical trolls. The people of Arendelle become afraid since anything the Troll king says comes true. Many years before, the trolls were very different, they were the opposite of what they're now and there wasn't actually any trust between both races. Both humans and trolls held grudge against each other, especially the trolls because humans have inhabited most of their lands.

But time has changed as well as the trolls. The trolls weren't completely evil, they were just neutral, except one of them, who has a deep antagonism and resentment towards humanity because they sometimes ambush them for some unknown intentions.

This particular troll's name was Flemmingrad, and he was The Troll King's younger brother and furthermore, the one who predicts the prophecy before his death as his first and last wish for retaliation, emphasize the word 'shall' by meaning that the prophecy must be fulfilled or else his soul will not forgive Arendelle and the kingdom will never be a safe place anymore, similar to a spell, though it really isn't. His family learned about it shortly after his death and they weren't against him and the prophecy at all, in fact, they know prophecies are just visions of the future, and they do happen and despite what humans did to them, they felt great pity for Arendelle as they encourage it.

Flemmingrad was very respected and had a big appetite, so he grew very big and round. One day humans attacked the trolls and Flemmingrad was not able to escape because of his size, so he blended into the fjord. He also shares his older brother in terms of wisdom and predictions. But unlike his older gloomy brother, who was kind and forgiving, he was vindictive and morally-ambiguous to humans.

The Troll king's name was Grandpabbie, He is the elderly troll that rules a land called 'the valley of the Living Rock'. He is also a benevolent, kind-hearted troll and was forgiving despite what people had done to them because unlike Flemmingrad, he knows that not all people hate magic, and those individuals who attack them despise it. Pabbie is described as being as old as the Earth, and he is sensitive about his age, even refusing to disclose it. He is also a very wise troll, even wiser and more mature than his younger, deceased troll brother.

He knows about the prophecy since his troll brother told him, and keeps praying for it to be fulfilled.

After the civilization of Arendelle learned about the troll's prophecy, they never feel safe in their kingdom anymore. Yet, they hoped that they could have found a way to avoid it from taking place in the future. As time passes, most of them ignore it and carried on with their lives.

Cold Planets of Uranus, Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune aligning with Earth for one thousand years.

A child will be born.

Blessed with the magic of north.

The child will grow and suffer alone.

But in the end, will be freed by love.

Arendelle was a small, Norwegian kingdom located on the fjord, with a village outside the castle gates. It consists of homes, shops, a marketplace, the docks, and the city's clock tower with the mountains and vast wilderness landscape surrounding the kingdom. It is here that Arendelle's primary export—ice—is harvested. Traversing through this area can be rather dangerous, as savage wolves lurk throughout.

The oldest known monarchs of Arendelle were King Runeard and Queen Rita. Succeeding him was King Agnarr.

King Agnarr and Queen Iduna of Arendelle were fair and kind rulers, doing what is the best for the kingdom. They know magic but were completely oblivious about the prophecy, and have ruled the kingdom ever since King Runeard falls to his death during a war. Agnarr crowned King of Arendelle and Iduna, who was a member of the northern tribe from a territory far north called 'Northuldra', at that time, marries him and crowned his Queen.

After some time, on December 22st, Winter Solstice, the brunette-haired Queen of Arendelle gives birth to their firstborn girl and the rightful heir for the throne. She was a beautiful Princess, with a thick platinum-blonde hair, icy blue eyes, pale skin like snow, and a round face, her beauty described winter. She weighed seven pounds and was born during the occurrence of the aurora borealis. Her birth was also accompanied by an unanticipated weather event that blanketed the village with crystals of ice. They gave her a suitable name: Elsa.

' your Majesties, the baby's health is very good.' Iduna let out a breath of relief. "Oh, thank goodness." Agnarr smiled warmly, but his smile gone when he saw the worried and confused face of the physician.

'But... She's very cold, like ice, and I don't know how, but it seems like she is not bothered by it.' the physician informs them a little hesitantly. The couple becomes confused, how their daughter is healthy when she's very cold, something is very unusual.

'there must be something, right, Agnarr?' Iduna concludes with a worried expression as she turns her head right to look at her husband for confirmation. Agnarr nodded but before he speaks his opinion, they heard her sneezing.

The pair and the physician hurried into Elsa's infant bed and were totally shockedas Iduna gasped and covers her mouth with two hands in utter shock, while Agnarr was trying to understand the situation in his mind. The physician, on the other hand, was very surprised, he believes in it and he wasn't afraid of it, this is the first time he saw—

' Magic ...' The king breathes out.

Snowflakes with different forms come out of the infant's small, button nose as she sneezed before she gurgled cheerfully at the snowflakes she made.

Agnarr and Iduna were very concerned when the physician informs them that their recent firstborn child, Elsa, is as cold as ice, but becomes relieved and slightly confused once the physician enlightened them that Elsa was very healthy. Yet he wasn't sure how Elsa is still alive despite the cold.

After all, common colds in newborns aren't dangerous, but they can quickly escalate into conditions that are, such as pneumonia or croup. Any illness in a baby under two or three months old is a reason to call their pediatrician, especially if they're running a fever.

In Elsa's case, however, it's as if she's okay with it and it seems like the cold doesn't bother her at all.

But now they realize the reason why she's so cold as their worries become in general once they saw small snowflakes appear out of thin air every moment their first child sneezes. It dawned on them that their daughter isn't ordinary but rather magical. They found out that she has born with the power to create snow and ice. Elsa was only a toddler when she exhibits signs of her magic. The parents welcomed their daughter's magic, deeming her special, gift, a miracle child, and other praises.

Though Agnarr was very uncertain because her ice magic, that could freeze anything, remind him of what the ice harvesters were vocalizing about:

'Beautiful! Powerful!'

'Dangerous! Cold!

'Ice has magic, can't be controlled!'

'Stronger than one! Stronger than ten! Stronger than a hundred men!'

And so when Agnarr and Iduna had a discussion about Elsa, they decided that the people should not find out about her dark secret. Thus they're gonna keep her and her magic hidden until she develops awareness and perception around her once she grows up for further decisions and rules.

However, Agnarr and Iduna want to learn more about her magic, and to see how it works, they will bring Elsa into her bedroom and encourage her to practice her ice magic. Elsa would form snowflakes, make it snow in her room like winter, throw random snowballs at Kai and Gerda, create an ice rink, and they would slide on it, generally goofing around. And to have her entertainment, they would give her fairytale books and read with her, play with her games like snowballs fights, building snowmen, other figures of animals, and snow angels, basically the activities you do outside on the snow.

You see, Kai is the most trusted and tolerant advisor, and Gerda is the most trusted maid. Well, they're more of close friends to the rulers, actually.

But how did they find out about her magic?

Well, while Gerda was washing the two-year-old toddler, Elsa froze the bath, and Gerda startled, almost throwing the baby but managed to catch herself, she then goes to the parents and demands them about their daughter's strange abilities. Agnarr and Iduna have no other choice but to tell her, and Kai as well, the truth. However, Agnarr asked them to never let her secret be known, they agree and vowed to never let anyone, not even the council, learns about Elsa's true nature.

After three years since Elsa's birth, on June 21st, Summer Solstice, another child born, a daughter, and this time, she wasn't magical or anything.

Just ordinary...

In the best way.

She also was beautiful, with Strawberry-blonde hair - similar to her father's -, round face, fair skin with freckles, and turquoise eyes, a combination of Agnarr's green eyes, and Iduna's blue eyes. She was the opposite of Elsa in beauty and personality, you could tell that she will become a social butterfly princess through her constant cheerful smile and laugh, also the personality of Elsa that she will become a sophisticated and powerful Queen in the future through her calmness and obedience. The newborn girl's beauty described summer and they chose for her a perfect name: Anna.

Elsa was very delighted when she heard the announcement about the delivery of a new child, she didn't have playmates or friends and always wishes for a one. She is no longer alone now that she finally has a baby sister who is three years her junior.

Yet, she wants her little sister to know about her magic and also to play with her since she can't go outside the castle and acknowledge her magic to the people. It was understandable for her since there are some individuals who are not fond of magic. She always goes to her parents and asking them privately if she can show her magic to little Anna.

But her parents were not sure about that - especially Agnarr - since Anna was still a baby. However, they promised her that she can play with Anna when the latter grows up. For now, she can just show her powers to her infant sister, and when Elsa reveals her powers by making small snowflakes above her little sister, the baby always will laugh and her big turquoise eyes glinted with warm joy as she will attempt to catch the snowflakes.

The four-years-old blonde Elsa walked into the crib, she then climbs it only to see her one-year-old sister, Anna, asleep. Elsa frowned, she just wanted to talk with her. Just before she turns to leave, she hears a happy noise coming from her baby sister's direction. Elsa brightened up as she looked down at Anna, who was smiling with those bright turquoise eyes of hers, full of wonder and joy.

Elsa smiled happily as she begins to greet Anna, but also sings for her. She knows that Anna loved her singing voice, and her powers as well.

"Hello little baby, you're princess just like me." She sang and her smile broadened when Anna's smile widened and gave a happy gurgle.

"But you're thinking maybe it's a pretty cool thing to be." Elsa sang with sorrow in her voice, she learned that one day, she will become the Queen of Arendelle when she reached twenty-one years old.

"But soon you'll see that everyone expects a lot from you." Yep. As a princess, she knew that the people expect her to be the perfect girl she was supposed to be, and as the future Queen, she gets a lot of lessons about how royalty rule the kingdoms. for instance, her father will let her attend to see how the council, dignitaries, and other monarchs, communicate and discuss things like the economic system, trade partners, etc.

"They'll say that there are things a princess should and shouldn't do." Which it does happen to her and in order for her to rule correctly, she must follow the rules. The people always say that the princess is full of charm and grace; that she always knows her place, or she never laughs and snores milk out her nose. They say she's calm, they say she's kind and never speaks her mind.

Anna, on the other hand, let out a cute sound, as if she understands Elsa. The older sister finished her song as she makes some floating snowflakes before she added.

"But you and me, we, we know better."

And finally, the baby spoke her first word with her adorable voice.

"Elsa"

And the surprised blonde girl rushed into her parent's room to tell them the news.

After four years of Anna's birth, the pretty sisters grew to love each other, especially the younger, who always love her older sister for her gifts, and more precisely, her ice magic. The eight-years-old Elsa loves and adores her little, five-year-old sister as well. Always enjoy playing and chatting with her.

However, although Elsa loves her, she noticed that Anna does have more freedom than her and can go outside the castle if she wants to, making friends with the commoners and their children, guards, maids, etc. And even her parents start to give Anna more attention than her. While Elsa, on the other hand, can get out and do what she wants to do - except showing her magic outside-, but much less than her baby sister, thanks to her monarchy lessons and ice magic; she can't help but feel a little jealous to Anna. Unbeknownst to her, Anna also feels jealous of her because she has magic.

The 'troublemaker,' Agnarr always calls Anna that name affectionately, since she would always rush into her father's council and interrupting them, embarrassing him, or break stuff accidentally like vases, and cause troubles. They noticed that Anna might become romantic since she loves fairytales and love stories, always dreams of Prince Charming and true love's kiss, while Elsa simply becomes disgusted by it.

He also had a nickname for Elsa, always calling her 'snowflake', it seems for her beauty, but it's actually for her powers. Elsa is much calmer than Anna though she can be just as energetic and mischievous as her.

Nonetheless, with both of them being in a duo, they would become the 'troublesome' daughters of King Agnarr.

The King and The Queen of Arendelle were pleased and thankful to see their daughters developed a special bond and no longer become worried about Elsa's magic as long as they will be together as a family.

Every happiness comes to an end, as they will never be safe anymore...
