In the abyss of Ahtohallen, a frozen statue of Crow sat with a look that could murder. He froze solid while pointing up to the ledge that Elsa had once stood.
Cold mist coiled around the ground, nothing but darkness and the bitter cold to keep him company.
But something was festering there. Hate. It sweltered like a storm, growing stronger as time went on.
The statue of Crow moved, veins of fire starting to pulse beneath its surface. It grew stronger and stronger until the ice started to steam and melt under the heated pressure.
All around, the darkness started to billow in strands of black smoke. Moving like it was alive, slithering along the ground.
The statue exploded, shards of ice expelling outward and lodging into the surrounding walls.
Crow let out a gasp, falling onto all fours and sucking in a few breaths as his chest ached. His body shivered, the heat finding it hard to keep him warm.
His hazel eyes bore upwards, hate bled into them. All he wanted was to keep him and his sister alive, and the power to do that, was that asking too much? Without power in this world, you were nothing.
Nothing but a cockroach beneath the boots of weaker men who sported superficial power.
He was better than that. He was better than them. He would show them all. He would take his sister back. And he would punish those that threatened to take her away.
That damned siren would pay for putting his only family against him. Keahi owed him. He risked everything, gave up everything for her. And she thought she can go find love and abandon him?
The darkness swirled around him, wrapping him in the sweet cloak of his own bitterness.
Travel to the land of fire in the south, grant me what I seek, and I will grant you access to Niflheim. Unleash the darkness and with it, your vengeance.
A voice murmured from the dark mist, the sound hollow as it echoed in Crow's head.
He took one ragged step to push himself up; the shadows folding around him and when he took a deep inhale; the shadow wisped into his lungs and body.
His eyes swirled crimson and an inhuman growl tore from his throat as he started laughing. "The world is going to burn."
Hey everyone, TheArdentPen here! I just wanted to say I'm so excited to complete this first arc of Frozen Beyond. I will take a 2-week break to get ahead on writing arc 2. In that break, I will be posting some short comedy/romantic one-shots of Elsa and Keahi! Also, between the other cast as well! (like Keahi and Olaf, and Keahi and Kristoff ) These will be little events between the end of the first arc and before the second starts. Keep following this thread as I will continue the second arc in this same thread! Want to see specific characters in these mini one-shots? What kind of cute little one-shots did you want to see? Let me know! Shoot me a PM here, on wattpad or twitter! =).
The second arc will start a couple of months after the events of arc one! This time, we will travel beyond Arendelle and explore the world a bit. =) I'm hoping to put my own spin on the Frozens world and introduce some new characters into the mix and touch on Norwegian/Scandinavian lore. I'm excited!
Please let me know what you would like to see! Have questions? Throw them at me! If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to do a Q&A. If I get enough, I will make a post and address them all. I'll likely post them on Wattpad since it's against TOS on here to do Q&A's. Just send them to me via twitter, wattpad, or PM here =).
Also, all you musically and poetically inclined Beyond readers, I'm looking for a few songs to put into a few 'musical' chapters in arc two! Maybe a pirates shanty, romantic duet, villains song, a song to a tavern brawl? I'm looking for all genres. So like above, shoot me a pm here, on wattpad, or twitter with your song and tell me a little about yourself and the song you've written! I will be choosing a few to add into the story! I will give you a shout out here, on Twitter, and on wattpad if it is used=).
I'm also looking for a talented artist to commission a drawing of Keahi. Please, send me a PM!
Anyway, every week I'll be posting little one-shots until arc two starts so be on the lookout for those! They will likely be posted Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I will go ahead and start them tomorrow! I have some pre-written but I also want to hear from you guys on what short stories you would like to see!
Happy reading!
