The Princess and the Dragon Rider

Chapter 6: The promise

Hiccup followed the King of Arendelle to the castle's chambers however this hall was familiar to him, he was there this morning. The boy was getting nervous when he realized who he was going to "meet". King Agnar was now behind a very familiar door. He knocked.

"G-Go away Anna!" An awkwardly familiar voice was heard from behind the door. Hiccup flinched.

"It's me, sweetie…" Before Agnar could say something else, the door opened slightly and Hiccup saw Elsa again who was looking at her father she hadn't seen him yet.

"There's someone I would like you to meet…" It was then when she finally saw Hiccup who was standing nervously behind her father.

"Can we come in?" There was a long silence or at least that's what it felt like for the young Viking and the crowned princess. Elsa sighed slightly she couldn't say no to her father. However, she made sure that there was no ice in the room.

Agnar and Hiccup were finally allowed to enter the princess's room after a few seconds. When they were in Elsa closed the door behind her. Hiccup was left staring at the ice princess with awkwardness and so did Elsa.

"This is Hiccup he will be living with us for the next three months and he will be coming over regularly after that if he wants of course." The King winced his eye a move unexpected from the King of Arendelle. However, Elsa's eyes widened in realization she now knew what her father meant with that and who this boy was going to be in the future.

"Elsa?" The King asked when he saw how awkwardly both kids were acting around each other. Elsa finally stopped glaring at Hiccup and looked at her father.

"Papa?"

"Will it be okay with you if you spent some time with Hiccup? I know you prefer your privacy and besides, I think Hiccup can be trusted for … you know what" This left Elsa skeptical for a few seconds, it's been a year since she had spent some time with someone other than her parents. Sure she had a few glances with Anna but those always ended up with Anna being emotionally hurt by her.

"Okay…"

"Excellent! I have a meeting to attend to… Elsa if you need anything don't hesitate to call Gerda or Kai, they will inform me right away!" And with that, the King left the two children alone in Elsa's room.

"Uhh, H-hi" Hiccup was the first to break the awkward silence between them. Elsa was nervously holding her left hand and it took her a few seconds to realize that someone was speaking to her.

"Hi Me? Uh…. Hi" She finally replied. Hiccup saw how nervous Elsa was around him and decided to make amends from earlier.

"I-I want to apologize for earlier…"

"It wasn't your fault" The princess quickly answered. They were both staring at the floor, none of them dare to look at one another. This time Elsa was the one who would break the awkwardness.

"Listen… about earlier, I know you and Anna think that I hate her…. But that's not true at all." Elsa stopped, she wanted to be sure that Hiccup could be trusted before she could continue to the next part. Hiccup was staring at her with curiosity.

"What's your opinion about magic?" Hiccup was taken aback with this question.

"Uhm, normally Vikings think of it as evil just like dragons, they believe that people with magic work with dragons to destroy villages..." Elsa hesitantly looked at her hands, this was the answer she was expecting but it turns out, Hiccup wasn't done.

"I believe otherwise, yes dragons can be dangerous and so is magic, but I don't think dragons attack just because they want to… Magic, it's complicated I have never seen anyone with magic." When Elsa heard this she was amazed by the boy's philosophy, she was sure that he would turn out different than any other man in the future, she formed a small smile.

"there's something I want to show you…" Hiccup was staring at the crown princess who removed one of her white gloves. The princess then released a small snowflake from her hand. Hiccup's eyes widened with surprise and amazement.

"Whoa…." He said, Elsa was expecting him to run away with fear but he didn't.

"I-Is this why you shut Anna out?" The boy asked, Elsa, put her glove back on and nodded.

"To protect her?"

"Yes…"

"Why?"

"Because I have hurt her before… this is why I stay here so I can control it…"

Hiccup felt ashamed for pushing Elsa earlier when they first met, she really cared about Anna.

"I-I need you to promise me something." The princess said Hiccup remained silent

"I-I don't want Anna to find out, but I want to make sure that she will be safe. C-Can you promise me to keep her safe?" Hiccup remained silent for a few seconds. He knew now that both sisters longed to be together. He knew that Anna hated to be alone and so did Elsa.

Hiccup saw two new tasks. The first was to keep Anna safe she was after all his first real friend who liked him for who he was. The second was to mend the relationship of these sisters.

Hiccup took a deep breath before finally answering.

"I promise…." And that was one promise he would do anything to make sure he doesn't break it.

Boom, another chapter complete! Shorter than the others I know. Well, I am thinking of a three-month time-skip so we can see Anna's adventures in Berk. As I said in the first chapter, Hiccup will be coming to Arendelle every three months, the other months it will be Anna who will be going to Berk. Now, I know normally Agnar wouldn't let anyone in Elsa's room except him and his wife, and perhaps Gerda or Kai we don't know. However, Elsa is 9 years old and she has been isolated for only a year. She isn't fully afraid of her powers yet and she can still control them in some extent. About Hiccup's philosophy… Well, he is Valka's son who had the same beliefs as him so I decided to add a few traits from her. Besides I don't think Hiccup would be scared of magic and from the flashbacks we get he was a little scared of dragons but that's only because he didn't know them. So yeah. And finally: This will be a different story and an AU many things from frozen arc and httyd arc will change or play out differently. (SPOILS: Well Hiccup and toothless arc might be the same so yeah) Anyways, I think that's enough for this chapter. Until the next Megan is off!
