Alrighty. Time to continue on with the story. Here's where Elsa and King Adgar continue to help Daniel master his powers and abilities, and as you saw if you read the last chapter, he's doing pretty well. He managed well with balancing with his strength, and learned to tap into some of the stronger source of his powers. So let's find out what he'll do next, shall we?

In the dark lair, the figure sitting in his throne was watching a part of Daniel doing his training, and he kept replaying some of the scenes multiple times.

"So he's learning to tap into the full potential of his powers? He makes me proud. I love him like he were my own son. He's getting better at this. Soon he shall be unbeatable."

"But, master, what if your plans don't go the way you wanted them to? What if you can't convince him to join you?"

The man in the throne looked to someone else in the shadows.

The figure stepped out, and it was revealed as the goblin general. He still wore the same armor and clothing, but now he had a metal claw where his right hand used to be, and a black eyepatch over his left eye, where Daniel struck him.

"Be patient, General. We must have confidence in him."

"All I know is I want that little worm dead! After what he did to me!" He gestured to his right arm.

"You were the one who made that stupid move, and told him that you weren't the leader of the goblin army. I made it specific that I wanted you to not bring me up until the time is right."

"My apologies, master. It was a tragic mistake," the general kneeled down.

"Just remember, General. I created you with my dark magic, and I can un-create you just as easy. Or I could give you a demonstration on how my powers really work, and make you feel a torturous pain like no other. Soon I will finish what I began over 8 centuries ago, for I am almost at full strength once more. With him, together we'd be invincible. He is stronger than I after all. And with all the potential he has, I see great things for him."

"But what about that little item he was given, my Lord?"

"That's nothing to worry about," he held out something small and made it glow gold. "Like taking candy from a baby. It was all too easy. Though I do feel I'm slightly losing him. I must give him another challenge. Come. Let us check the dark caverns of the underworld and see what we can find."

The robed man arose from his throne and walked down a path to the left of the throne, with the general following close behind.

Back at Elsa's ice palace in the North Mountain, Daniel had just woken up and left his room.

At the same time, Elsa had come out of her room.

"Good morning," Elsa greeted him.

"Morning," he replied.

They'd both gone upstairs to the main room, near the entrance doors, where King Adgar stood waiting in the center of the place.

"Morning, sleepyheads," the king said looking towards them.

"So what are we doing today?" Daniel asked.

"I thought for starters, we'd test your strength. You said with those magical abilities also came great strength, didn't you?"

"Yep. 500 percent increase, I said," Daniel reminded. "How are we gonna do it?"

"I think Elsa can help us with that," the king looked to his daughter.

"I think I can do something that'll work," Elsa said and she waved her hands in front of her, creating ice magic. A small flurry then shot from her hands, and onto the floor. Slowly that magical flurry began to materialize into a shape in ice.

The blizzard it created slowed down, and faded into thin air, and it'd created a big block of ice, the size of a horse.

"Will this do?" Elsa asked her father.

"That'll do perfectly," King Adgar responded then looked back to Daniel. "Think you can lift that?"

"Is that a trick question?" Daniel replied, then made fire surround his whole body, creating his suit of armor.

He walked over to the ice block, then with only his right hand, lifted it high above his head. "How's this."

"Impressive," said King Adgar. "Elsa, why don't you keep doing this with him, while I go and cook us up some ham and eggs?"

"All right," Elsa replied, then turned back towards Daniel. "Here's what we'll do. I'll keep creating more of those ice blocks for you to test your strength."

"Works for me. Bring it on," Daniel said pumped up.

Then Elsa did it again, and created another ice block right on top of the one Daniel was holding with only one arm.

"Is that all you've got?" he asked.

Elsa created another, and he still held it with only one arm.

He fake yawned, knowing it still was too easy.

Elsa chuckled a little, then created three more at once, and then he took hold of it with both hands. "Now we're talking. Keep them coming."

Elsa continued to create more ice blocks for him to test his strength, piling on at least 2 or three every 5 seconds.

When there were about 50 of those big ice blocks, was when Daniel started to give in. "All right. I think that about does it." He put the ice blocks down in front of him, then started counting them. "53 ice blocks. Each heavier than a horse. I don't know my own strength."

"It's really amazing how someone can be made so strong," Elsa spoke up.

"Wonder what the next challenge will be?" Daniel wondered.

"Get your snow clothes on, and we can go ask my father."

"They're in my room, I'll be right back."

Daniel went back down the stairs to where all those rooms were, and about 2 minutes later, he came back dressed in his snowsuit.

The two went outside of the ice castle, and looked down to see King Adgar cooking over the same fireplace he'd made last night for dinner.

He a rectangular griddle right over the fire, and on it he was cooking ham and eggs, using a spatula.

The two went down to where he was kneeling down while cooking.

"Need any help?" Elsa asked her father.

"If you can make me a big plate for these hams and eggs, that'd be great, yeah," King Adgar replied.

"You got it," Elsa responded, then used her powers to create a big, rounded plate of ice.

"Thank you," King Adgar thanked, taking the icy plate, and using the spatula to put the food on there.

In the next 10 to 15 minutes, King Adgar had cooked up to at least 8 pieces of ham, and 10 fried eggs.

"Well, I think we can eat now," King Adgar held the plate up. "Sweetheart, can you put out that fire for me."

"Yes, Father," Elsa replied and shot a small flurry from her hands, which she used to extinguish the flames, until they were completely put out, and nothing was left but burnt up wood and ash.

The trio went back inside the palace, into the dining room, where they ate dinner last night, then had their breakfast.

They had no conversations over breakfast; They'd just eaten quietly, without saying a word. They had eaten for at least 20 minutes, until all the food was finally gone.

A little while later, after waiting for their food to settle, they went back down into the main room to continue Daniel's training.

"So what's next?" Daniel asked.

"Today we're gonna teach you how to overcome enemies when they're in bigger numbers than you," King Adgar answered. "Elsa." He looked to his daughter.

"I know just what you're thinking," Elsa replied and waved both her hands in the air. Using her powers, she created a magical snowball, then released it into the air, which then let out a big flurry of snow clouds and mist.

The flurry clouds surrounded the whole room, growing by the second, creating something out of the ice magic.

When the flurry stopped, dozens of ice goblins surrounded the whole room, circling the trio.

"Now when there are this many enemies, how would you propose taking them all on?" King Adgar asked.

Daniel looked around at all the ice goblins made by Elsa, and started to think. "Well, I think the answer is pretty clear: To take down a large number of enemies, you have to even the playing field out." Then he snapped his fingers, and just like it had back at the castle when he demonstrated his powers, hundreds of Daniel clones surrounded all over the room.

"Good. Now take the ice goblins down," King Adgar continued.

All the ice goblins drew swords in unison, and moved towards the Daniel clones.

All the Daniel clones then drew their swords, and they moved towards the ice goblins, then all the clones of both Daniels and ice goblins started to swordfight.

The ice goblins tried to put their swords through multiple Daniel clones, but it just went straight through them, and didn't even leave a scratch.

"You can't touch my clones, but my clones can touch you," said all the Daniel clones in unison.

The Daniel clones all started to use their strength to smash the goblin statues to pieces.

One by one, the Daniel clones would use their iron arms to punch straight through the goblins, and shatter them. They'd also use their abilities of fire to blast them, to shards, and melt them.

It took all the Daniel clones up to five minutes, but then finally they'd finished off the ice goblins. They snapped their fingers, and the other Daniels all disappeared, until the real one stood near the staircase. "Wow. I never did that with my clones before."

"It seems like you're learning well at this," Elsa spoke up.

"I'm a well and fast learner. Maybe you were right; All I needed to master these abilities was a little push to help me along the way."

"You know what they say: It's like riding a bike. Once you've learned, you never forget," King Adgar replied.

"If I had known it was this simple, I would have devoted as much time I could to practicing."

"Didn't you also say you could make plants grow in just a matter of seconds?" Elsa asked.

"Yep. That's how I make my wine. I get the seeds I need for the red grapes and cherries, and I use my magic to make them grow."

"Would you mind giving a demonstration?" asked King Adgar.

"You're in luck," Daniel replied as he conjured a wall of fire from underneath his feet, which grew and covered his whole body, and he changed out of his armor, into his snowsuit and black robe. He reached into his robe's pocket, and he puled out a small, red cloth. He unwrapped it and pulled out a cherry. "I usually like to keep a few cherries with me." He pulled off the stem from the top of it, put the cherry in his mouth, chewed for a second, and finally he spat the seed into his left hand. "Let's go plant this thing."

The trio then left the ice palace, went down the stairs to where they had their horses tied to the bottom of the railing, to prevent them from running away.

They unstrapped their horses from the railing, mounted them and the horses all began walking down the mountain.

The trio rode their horses slowly down the mountain, passing through the areas of the forest in where the snow covered just about every one of the trees and all over the ground, so that the only color that could be seen, was the white of the snow.

As they got lower down the mountain, there was less snow on the trees and bushes, and the temperature started to get warmer, and feel more like spring than winter.

They'd slowly rode on for at least a half an hour, but then they were finally a good distance from the snowy areas, so that it wasn't at all cold, or didn't feel at all like winter, and Daniel and King Adgar stopped for 30 seconds to remove their snow clothes, but then they went on.

They went on for another ten minutes, but then stopped at an area where near all the trees and bushes, and the green grass, there was a small flowing stream.

"Okay. To do this spell is very simple; We plant the seed in the ground, give it a little water, then I use my magic to make it grow into a tree."

Daniel kneeled down and with his right hand, he dug a small hole in the dirt and he placed the seed in the ground. After which, he covered it back up with the dirt, then Elsa walked over and kneeled down. Using a cup she'd made from her ice, she poured the water from the stream.

"All right. Stand back," Daniel said to the two, and Elsa and King Adgar took a few steps back.

Daniel then put both his hands together, then he crossed them, after that he made fists and slammed them together. Finally he aimed them down to where the seed was planted, and he spoke a strange chant, like he'd done when he did his reviving spell. The next thing Elsa and King Adgar knew, a bright, golden light and particles shot from his hands to the ground.

As the golden light shined on the planted seed under the ground, a small sprout popped from the small dirt area, then it slowly began to grow and grow, until it had become a tiny tree; Then that tiny tree had slowly started to grow, and grow, and grow, until it became 20 feet tall. The next thing that happened was all the branches on the tree grew pink and white blossoms. Then all those cherry blossoms turned to green leaves, and cherries all began to grow in seconds, until the whole tree was covered with them.

"Whoa. That was amazing, son," King Adgar commented.

Daniel looked up and slightly held his right hand out, and a single cherry fell into the palm of his hand. Then tossed it to them, and Elsa caught it.

"That is really amazing, Daniel. You have a gift. I don't know why that man gave you those abilities, but it's like you said, he must've wanted you to do great things," King Adagar said.

"I still wonder who he is though. After he'd given me those powers over fire, a few years later, I saw him again while walking through my town. He said he'd had some urgent business to take care of. But before he left, he told me when the time is right, we'd meet again."

"And have you seen him again?" Elsa asked.

"Nope. Not once, since after that."

"So have you mastered this plant growing spell, by chance?" asked King Adgar.

"No. Each time I've used it, I've only done one seed, growing one plant at a time. But now that I think of it, I wonder how many plants I could grow at once. Shall we find out?" he asked pulling an apple out of his robe.

"Let's give it a try," Elsa replied.

Daniel reached down and from his left boot he pulled a knife out, like he had when the goblins had attacked Anna and Kristoff, and when they'd crashed the party. With it, he cut the apple in have, then pulled out all the seeds. When he had the seeds in his right hand, he tossed one of the apple halves towards his horse.

Blaze, his gray horse bent her neck down, then ate the apple in one bite.

"Blaze. She loves apples. I do this all the time for her," Daniel said and he threw the second half of the apple to his horse, and she ate that one too.

Daniel then started to plant all the apple seeds, and after he planted them into the ground, Elsa used her icy cup to pour the water on them.

Once Daniel planted up to 7 seeds, he got into position, and started to concentrate on his spell. He looked deep down within for the answer to use all the spell's power. He'd delved deep down into his own mind, and he looked deep within his heart, then he'd found his answer.

He did what he'd done with his hands before, speaking the chant. Then he aimed his hands down to where the seeds were planted, and this time, the gold light shined even brighter than before, flooding all past the seeded areas with the golden light. And as it happened with the cherry tree, the seeds started to sprout, and all grow into trees slowly. All 7 trees became 25 feet tall, and on their branches, green apples and leaves started to grow. Finally, the apples all turned red and the trees stood tall.

"It seems I am a fast learner. What's say we harvest some of these fruits?"

"Kai, our head of the servants is also our chef. He makes a delicious cherry pie," King Adgar suggested.

"Then let's bring him some, shall we?" Daniel asked drawing his sword, and walking over to the cherry tree.

"What is that?" Elsa asked, looking to his sword.

"What's what?" Daniel asked.

"Your sword."

He looked to the blade and saw the inscriptions and symbols on it were glowing, like the night Queen Idun attacked him, and when he saved Anna and Kristoff from the goblins.

"What's going-?" King Adgar tried to ask but Daniel shushed him.

Daniel stood still and in place. "I'm trying to feel the presence of danger. This is another ability I was given." Then he looked to his left. "It's strongest that way." He ran over to his horse, then mounted her, after that he took off in the direction where he felt the presence of danger.

"Daniel!" King Adgar called to him. "Come on!" He and Elsa also mounted their horses, then took off after him.

Daniel rode his gray horse, Blaze through the greenery of the forests, going deeper and deeper, as the presence he felt got stronger as he went farther. He'd rode on for at least 10 minutes, and then found where the trouble was.

He looked to see a small village, much like the one that was destroyed. It small, wooden houses, stone wells of water in most areas, tools set aside to the houses for work and stuff, but it was all being destroyed and torn up by dozens of goblins.

They were pillaging the place left and right; Terrorizing the citizens, ripping through their wooden houses and destroying everything.

"Trying to kill these innocent citizens? I think not!" Daniel exclaimed. And then he made a bunch of fire surround his body, and with it he made a big force of fiery light come from him, so it were like a big explosion, and he used it to change into his suit of armor in the process.

The light he conjured from the fire was so bright, that it got all the goblins' attention. And they stopped doing everything they were doing, and looked to see Daniel, on the back of his horse in his suit of armor, like a brave soldier on his steed.

He dismounted his horse, then patted her on the back. After doing so, she walked off and as she did she slowly disappeared into thin air, until she vanished completely.

Daniel turned his attention towards the dozens of goblins, and drew his sword.

The goblins all raised their swords and axes, then ran to Daniel yelling with battle cries.

At the same time, Daniel also ran towards them and he engaged in combat with them all, sword fighting and blocking the attacks from everyone of them, using either his sword or his left arm.

One by one, Daniel killed them all, using nothing but his sword lit up with symbols, and his reflexes to outmatch them. He slashed them in their throats and chests, plunged his sword through their bodies, cut their heads off in swift moves.

In a swift move he slashed 3 goblins in their throats at once, but then a dozen more of them all surrounded him in a circle, aiming spears at him.

"What are you gonna do now?" one said with its sinister and dreadful voice.

Daniel sheathed his sword and then crossed his hands over his face. The next thing those goblins knew, a wall of fire surrounded Daniel completely, then he unleashed it, making it grow bigger in the process and getting the goblins caught in it, and they all burned up, until their skin turned to ash and their skeletons lay dead and singed.

After that had happened, there were only at least 30 goblins left, all coming from every area.

Daniel re-drew his sword and held it in a battle stance.

As the goblins came up to him, a blade pierced the body of one of them.

Daniel looked to see the one that got pierced and saw King Adgar, holding the same golden hilted sword he used to help him fight the goblins that attacked, the night at the party.

"Need some help?" King Adgar asked.

"There's at least 30 of them. So it won't be easy."

"Do you know any other spells that can help fight?'

"A few. But they're pretty deadly and dangerous."

The goblins all began to get closer, growling at them.

"But I may not have a choice."

"Then let's take them."

"Step back."

King Adgar did so, and then Daniel sheathed his sword, and put his hands together in front of himself. After doing so, goblins charged at them all, then he spun around twice and an electric blue light shot from his hands at three of the goblins.

When the light blasted them, it vaporized their skin off their bones, then their skeletons turned to dust.

"Whoa!" Daniel exclaimed. "That was a really powerful one. But thankfully it helped."

"Daniel, to your left!" the king pointed with his sword.

Daniel looked to see another ten goblins charging at him. He remembered another spell, and then he put his hands in front of him again, put didn't put them together. This time, he had them a few inches away from each other, and a golden ball of lightning sparked into his hands. He charged it up in his hands, and then threw it at the ten goblins coming to him.

When the ball of lightning hit one of them, it shined a brighter golden light, and a big blast vaporized all of them in the process.

"Now that was a good one. That's all I've got for now."

"That's all right. There's only about 15 of them left," King Adgar replied.

"Then let's take them," Daniel drew his sword once again. After that, he and King Adgar charged at the remaining goblins, then started to fight them all off.

They'd done the same thing that they had back at the party; And were swiftly striking them all down with their swords, blocking the attacks of any the goblins tried to throw at them.

It'd taken another 5 minutes of striking, stabbing and slashing them all, but then King Adgar and Daniel wiped them all out, and regrouped with each other.

"That was good. Where'd you learn to fight like that?" Daniel asked.

"When I was a little boy, like my father I always wanted to be a soldier. When I hit my teenage years, he began teaching me everything he knew. A few years after he died was when I married Idun, and become king. But even when I did, I still wanted to learn how to fight. So I trained with the guards, learning many fighting moves. And I never forgot any of it."

"Well, it's impressive."

"Thank you."

And then Elsa came up next to them. "I've put out all the fires those monsters caused, father."

"Very good," King Adgar complimented

"I think that's all of them," Daniel spoke up. "So let's get out of here."

"Not until you deal with me." Came a voice from behind the three.

The trio all looked behind and what they saw shocked them, big time.

"No way," said Daniel in disbelief.

Ok, sorry for the cliffhanger. But that's what people always do in stories. They leave you in a cliffhanger, wondering what will become of the next event. Anyhow, can anyone guess what it is that Daniel will have to face next? If not, then you're in for a surprise, and or shock. I recently thought it up, and have the perfect idea for what will happen next. In the meantime, please read, review and enjoy.
