Chapter 4: The Heart of Fire
Elsa's POV
I woke up to the sound of a gate. One of the pirates tossed me some food.
"Eat up. The captain wants you strong."
I looked at my hands. They were shackled up.
"Little hard to eat like this." I said.
"Ah, trying to escape are we? Well if it's that hard…"
The man opened the cell that held a sleeping Anna. He grabbed her by the hair and started to drag her.
"Ow! Let go of me you oversized marshmallow!" Anna said.
The man threw her into my cell.
"You, red head. Feed your friend. Or die." The man said as he locked the gate.
Anna massaged her head and picked up some bread. She started feeding me.
"Never thought I would be doing this." She said.
I smiled and swallowed. "Well it's not all bad. You could be scrubbing floors like 'the wench you are'" I said, trying to impersonate Cyprus.
Anna giggled at that. "Well at least you're not sneezing snowgies everywhere."
Hiccup woke up. He looked through the bars at us.
"Anna, what happened?"
"The man who brought her food figured it out." Anna said.
The original plan was to get the man was to feed me. Then I would subdue him and we would be able to escape.
"Well we gave it our best shot." Hiccup said.
Anna grabbed some of the stew. The smell was gruesome.
"Ew. What is in that?" I asked.
"Oh Oppenheimer's secret recipe."
I looked to see Hook standing on the other side of the bars.
"Let's go, my pretty ice sorceress. We're here."
...
Two of Hooks minions dragged Anna and me out. I tried to fight back, the chains were too strong.
I looked over the side of the ship. There was an island completely covered in lava. It was a sight.
"Now, my dear." Hook said. "There is a stone on that island. It's small and has a spiral on it. You are to go on that island and get it for me."
"Why? What is it?" I asked.
"Well, it's the heart of a fire God named Mahuika. Once you retrieve it, I will be able to control fire on a whim. Should catch a fair price."
I sighed in disgust. This man was only trying to get a meager profit.
I was taken into a row boat. The man who brought me food unshackled my hands.
"Big mistake." I punched him in the face. I then turned to Hook.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, my dear."
Anna was on the plank. Her hands were tied and she had a gag on. Hook had a sword to her back.
"Now go, or your friend will sleep with the fishes in Davy Jones's locker."
I sighed. I sat on the boat. They lowered the boat down. I grabbed the oars and started heading towards the island.
...
I pulled the boat onto the shore. I looked at my surroundings. Lava flowed out of the volcano as if it was constantly erupting.
I used my magic to change my dress to my battle armor.
I began walking to the volcano. If there was any stone here, it would be at the base of the volcano.
It's started getting hotter the closer I got. My armor started dripping.
I came to the base of the volcano. There was a cave at the base of the volcano, with a lavafall covering it.
I took a deep breath. I shot my powers at it. It froze up. I knew it wouldn't last long. I quickly made it past
I found a room with a bridge over that led to the other side of the room. On the other side was a spiral in the wall. In the middle of spiral was a glowing orange stone.
I quickly ran across the bridge. I made an icicle. I used it to pry the stone out of the wall.
The spirals light went out. The room started to rumble. I started running. My ice wall started to crack as I left the cave.
I started running to the shore. I didn't know what I unleashed, and I didn't want to know.
I saw the boat in the distance. I tried to hurry. But I heard a roar.
I looked behind me and saw a giant rock monster with lava on it.
I kept running to the boat. The monster came after me.
Just then I heard a loud bang. The ship was firing the cannons. It hit the monster.
The monster started bleeding lava. I used the opportunity to get back to the boat.
I rowed back to the ship as fast as I could. The men on the ship raised the boat back up.
Hook looked at me with pride. "Great job my dear. Now give me the Heart of Mahuika." He stretched forth his hand
I opened my hand and looked at it. It was warm to the touch. I dropped it in his hand.
He studied it up close. "Fascinating. Yang, Bonito, shackle her back up."
Two men put my shackles back on.
"What? Why? I got you the heart. Let us go."
"I don't think you understand. So let me explain. I'm after the hearts of the elements. You got the heart of fire. I now need the hearts of water, earth and air. Get me those, then you and your friends can go."
...
Hiccup's POV
I watched as the two men dragged Elsa back into her cell with Anna. They shackled her to the wall and left.
"Elsa, are you alright?"
She looked at me, then Anna.
"I think I just did something awful."
...
Hook's POV
I was in my quarters studying the Heart of Mahuika.
Just then, I heard a little knock.
"Come in, Zarina."
Zarina came in. She was in her fairy form. She sat down next to where I was working.
"What is it Zarina?"
She started talking, but all I heard was a bell. Thankfully I understood her.
Are you really going to let the prisoners go after they retrieve the Hearts? She asked.
"Of course not. Bonito has been reading up on a place here called Lalotai, or the realm of monsters. Once the prisoners have retrieved the hearts, we'll be putting them there."
But isn't that a little harsh punishment?
"Zarina, don't forget your place. When you were cast out of Pixie Hollow, I took you in. Don't make me regret it."
Zarina nodded. I smiled.
"Now go tell the crew to set course for the Heart of Tangaroa."
Yes Captain!
She flew away, sprinkled her growing dust on herself. She then opened the door.
"Captain says to set sail for the Island of Tangaroa. Move it."
Hook has got the first heart of the Elements.
What do you think will happen next?
Let me know!
