Hello! Are you ready for the third chapter of this story~! I hope you enjoyed the previous ones. Well, as usual, I have things to tell you guys. I wanted to change this title to 'The Fallen Prince', But I thought it might be a little confusing for original readers, so I just made it like this. Also, about my update frequency. I think it will be better if I have a certain date I upload, so how about Friday? I'll try to upload one chapter every Friday,(since I write this at midnight, it might be Saturday) and I'll leave a review if I can't. One thing you need to know is that I live in Korea, so mind the time difference. If you live in America, it will be Thursday, I think. Lastly, Thank you for writing positive reviews! I read all the reviews, so I will be super thankful if you leave me many reviews. Now I will 'review' some reviews.
Thank you for the update. Thank you for telling me that the oc will be very similar to what I said. I appreciate it. I can't wait for him to appear. I can't wait for the next chapter. I already love this story. Don't delete it, please. Reply in front of the chapter. 1 chapter every one or two weeks is perfect (if you cannot make 2 chapters every week). -Well, thank you! I have NO intention to delete this, so don't worry...but the thing is, I am quite busy nowadays and I might need to... Ok, Ok I'm just kidding.
There will be songs like in the movies? If yes, there will be a duet version of into the unknown with the oc and Elsa? -well, I did think about putting songs in this, even though I'm not sure if I am skillful enough to so that. So, I will need more time to give you an answer. But I'm not sure about 'into the unknown'. Since FF doesn't have audio, I may need to write lyrics of a new song.
Tell me this doesn't have to be Disney's Frozen all over again. -Well, I will try to make it not so similar to the movie.
To: Tigerheart: I hope this was soon enough!
I think it is a good title, but what do you think about frozen 3: the dark lord? -That is a good title! But it doesn't match so much with the O.C that I am thinking of. You will understand if you read more. Still, thank you for your precious advice!
To: Guest (who wrote 2 reviews in a row, about chapter 1,2): Thank you so much! I'm sorry I can't post your full review because this is starting to be too long. I hope you understand!
I like to see more chapters in this story.-Thank you! I will try to keep my promise about the updates.
To: Susan Popplewell: I am honored to get a positive review from such a great writer! Thank you. I will keep your advice in mind.
If you wrote a review recently, your review might not have been written here. I'll remember to comment on yours next time! Ok...so that was long. I have my new laptop on my lap, have buds in my ear. It can't be better. Now, let's start the story!
Chapter 3: Burning Ashes
Elsa jumped out of bed. Bruni was on her right shoulder as if he was proving that he didn't cause the fire this time. She looked outside through the window, and she instantly could see the big, red fire starting from the southern side of the kingdom. The soldiers of Arendelle were already preparing water to extinguish the flames, but the fire was too big.
'Oh no... this is very similar to my vision.' Elsa thought as she jumped out of the window. She made an ice slide below her with her power. She was almost perfectly fine when she landed, except for her throbbing ankle. 'All right that was not the smartest thing I did in my life.' but there was no time for regrets. She had to stop the fire before it eats up all of Arendelle.
Elsa was wearing her nightgown (the red one), so she created a comfortable dress made of ice. The coolness of the clothes will help her through the fire. The cold never bothered her, but the heat probably would bother her when she was running into a big fire.
Elsa shot rays of ice towards the fire that was threatening people. Gale tried to make the fires spread away from the people. Nokk tried his best to stamp out some fires near the castle. Bruni, well, Bruni tried, he really did, to help Elsa. But he was only capable to start a fire, not to stop it. He at least had the sense to not ask Elsa for snowflakes in a situation like this.
"Help! My baby is inside the house, but the door is blocking the path!" A woman shouted out with a shaky voice. Her husband was trying to remove the burning door, but it was impossible to remove it, due to the heavy 'remains' of the roof that was blocking the door.
Elsa froze the obstacle, then broke it into a thousand pieces. She told the married couple to stay out, and she went into the house, covering her nose with her sleeve due to the smoke. With her other hand, she shot ice to put off flames in her way.
She located the baby by her cries. She was in her small bed. She reached for her, trying to hold the baby and cover her mouth and nose at the same time. With her other hand, she shot rays of ice around her. When they finally came out, Elsa gave the baby to the couple.
The mother tried to calm down the baby, while both of them thanked Elsa. Elsa had to nod in response, for she was too breathless. Elsa looked around (sitting on the ground) and saw Arendelle's soldiers save people in the fires like she just did. Elsa and the soldiers helped every people in danger and moved on to save more people.
Elsa thought she helped every people in need of help, since there were no longer cries for help. She just hoped that it didn't mean anything more terrible...' No, don't think about that' she thought, as she slowly moved on to the southern side on her own, where the fire would have started. 'Well, I have to trust Ahtohallan now. And myself.' Elsa thought that if she cut out where the fire started, it would be easier to end the fire.
As expected, the fires at the southern side were worse. Elsa had a hard time breathing and even moving due to the heat. She started to shoot rays of ice to cut off the fire, but strangely, her magic seemed to have no effect on the flames here; it actually seemed to worsen it. As she shot rays of ice, the fire seemed to spread more quickly.
Elsa gave up using her magic to extinguish the fire at the southern side and looked around for any people. 'If my magic can't put this fire out, how can we stop it?' She wondered, trying her best to not panic. As she searched around for anything that might have caused the fire, she could hear a faint sound. Was it..."Help!"? Elsa tried to locate where the sound came from, but failed due to the loud flames. She moved around, avoiding flames at the same time.
Just as she thought that she just heard an imaginative voice, (that happened a lot to Elsa, so you can't really blame her) She barely saw a figure, right in the middle of flames.
It looked like a man...but he was ...kneeling. He was shouting out for help, and his voice matched the voice that she heard before. Elsa moved closer to the person, shouting out "Come here! I will help you!" But the man still didn't move an inch. "I can't!" He shouted back.
As Elsa moved closer to the man, she found out that he had his hands behind his back. His hands and ankles were chained to a pole that was behind him, Elsa realized with a gasp. Who would do such a thing? 'No, that's not important. I'll first save him, and then ask.' Elsa thought.
She finally arrived in front of the man, panting. "Hold on, I'll free you." Elsa said, moving to where his hands were chained..."No, don't touch the chains!" The man shouted. Startled, Elsa took her hands away from the chain. She tried to freeze the chains to break it, but her magic wouldn't work on the chains. 'What? But why...'
"Don't use magic. There are two swords back there. See it?" The man said to Elsa, in a surprisingly calm tone. "Yes." She answered. She faintly saw the two swords. It wasn't very far, but the flames could be a problem. "Bring the black one. Its sheath is black with a little gold, and its blade is black with red carvings on it. It's a little heavy. Oh and don't touch the blade." He said. "Uh... Ok." Elsa replied. He was a man that she first met, but he seemed to have a plan, leaving Elsa no choice but to follow what he said.
She started running to the shore, where the two swords lay. There was a big flame stopping her, so she instantly made a small ice bride, and used it to cross over the flames. When she arrived at the two swords, she could instantly know what the man was asking for. The other sword had a big red ruby in the middle of the handle, and fancy designs on the sheath. She couldn't observe it closely due to her limited time, but these two swords showed that the man was no ordinary person.
"Here!" Elsa said, showing the man the sword that he asked for, panting. "Great! Now cut the chains on my hands." 'What?' "How?" she asked. "Uh...aim and strike?" the man said as if it was nothing. Elsa never used a sword before, so she was unsure if she could remove the chains without cutting off his hands.
"I am very fond of both my hands, so please be careful." The man said, as if he could read her mind. "Don't worry. It's easier than you think. Just swing the sword in the middle of the chains. The blade will be strong enough to cut through it if you hit hard" He added, seeing Elsa's worried face.
'Ok...I can do it.' Elsa murmured to herself. Taking a deep breath, she stroke down to the chains. There was a loud clang, indicating that the chain broke. But at the same time, the man started screaming.
"Are you all right? Where did I cut?" Elsa frantically asked. "Nowhere. I was just kidding." 'What?' Elsa thought, wondering very seriously if he was crazy. Because this was surely not a situation to 'kid'. "Now, give the sword to me." He said.
Elsa still did not have any other option than following him, so she did as she was told. The man cut down the chains on his ankles with amazing speed. He removed the 'remains' of the chains on his body.
"Ah...that feels good. It's not really pleasant to have a chain on you for a few hours, isn't it?" The man asked. Elsa thought about when she was chained by Hans. 'Well, yes. That was never pleasant. But this is not the situation to think about that.'
"Well, that's good, but what are we going to do now? We are quite trapped in the flames right now." Elsa shouted. As she said, the fires were now very close to them, and it was hard to hear words even though they were almost right next to each other.
"Don't worry!" He shouted. "Get to my back, and try to survive this!" He shouted again. 'What did he mean?' Elsa didn't have much time to think about the question, though. Because the man had started to put his hands in front of him, and started sucking the flames with his hands. Every fire started to move towards his hands. The fires seemed to go right into his hands, or more like, absorbed into his hands.
'It's like when I am using my magic.' Elsa realized. Elsa felt the heat of the flames flowing past her, and she had to constantly shoot rays of ice around her not to get burned.
After a short time that felt much longer, the man had absorbed every fire that was happening in Arendelle. But after that, he blacked out, collapsing to the ground.
Elsa went closer to him to observe him. 'He seems to have magic. Maybe he is a spirit?' His swords, and a ruby ring that he had on his index finger, showed that he was no ordinary person. His face was burned, but he still had a very handsome face. His eyes were closed, but as she could remember, they had a mischievous glint on them. He looked quite young, about the same age as Elsa or a little more. But unlike his swords and ring, his clothes looked worthless. A little more than rags.
Bruni, sensing that he was safe now (though fire cannot harm him), came out of Elsa's shirt where he was hiding at, and sat on her shoulders. He carefully observed the man, too. "Looks like someone else can control fire, too," Elsa said half to herself, half to Bruni.
"He still saved Arendelle today. I'll take him to the palace to rest." Elsa said, again, half to herself and the other half to Bruni. She called for Nokk and went to pick up his other sword. Now she saw the blue, red and green designs on the sword. The sheath was beautiful.
When she came back to the man, Nokk was waiting for her. Elsa ascended on him, carefully placing the man and his swords on her back. Sighing, Elsa said "Let's go Nokk. There are very many things to do.
Now...this was a little long. How did you like it? I will send you imaginative Elsa's snowflakes if you remember to give me a fav, follow and a review. *Note that it might melt on the way to you.
