"Go. Find her."I gave instruction to the guard. Anna was at my heels as I put out fire after fire. Kristoff and Sven went with the guard while Olaf was running around like a chicken with his head chopped off. I couldn't take much more of the commotion.
"Enough! Everyone, just shut up for a moment. Please."I said, heading to my bedroom.
"But, Elsa, she could burn down everything and then we'll have a riot and a witch hunt on our hands."Anna informed.
"I know Anna. But, I have to believe that the people of Arendelle are better than that. They accepted me."I said, pulling out book after book off my bookshelf.
"But, Elsa, you just froze everything. She can DESTROY everything. You didn't destroy anything."Anna reminded. She had a point.
"We have to find her Elsa."Anna said, putting her hand on my shoulder. I nodded and went back to my books.
"What are you doing? You're obviously not listening to me."Anna gripped.
"I have to go to the trolls. Perhaps they have an answer on what I should do with Lillian."I told her, pulling out a map. Anna nodded in agreement and fetched our horses. I sighed. Of course she wanted to tag along.
"Hello?"I called out to the Valley of Living Rock. The rocks began to move and shake and the trolls popped out.
"Your Majesties."they said, bowing to us. Pabbie came rolling up to us.
"Your Highness, is there a problem?"he asked. I smiled as Anna gave us our privacy by discussing wedding plans with the other trolls.
"Pabbie, I have taken in a student, a young princess name Lillian. She controls fire."I told him, sitting on the ground. Pabbie seemed to think about this for a minute.
"Born with or cursed?"he asked.
"Unfortunately, cursed. Is there anything you can do?"I asked. He grimaced and closed his eyes. He then sighed.
"Elsa, the only advice I can give you is to dig deeper into her past. Dig past the surface. A fire is kept alive by kindling and something keeps haunting her, giving her bad kindling. Also, she's stressed. A mere 16 year old, already expected to get married and take control of a kingdom. And, expected to learn to control her powers quite quickly. Anyone will be stressed."he explained. I thought about it. I knew something was off about their kingdom. They must be hiding something.
"So, she's stressed. Everyone's stressed."I said. Pabbie shook his head.
"Elsa, have you learned nothing? Yes, everyone's stressed. But, what is the strongest stressed reliever we know?"he said, with a smile at the end. I smiled too.
"Love."I said aloud. He nodded. But, then, I became confused.
"But, her father loves her very much. Shouldn't that relieve her stress a bit?"I asked.
"Like I said, Elsa. Dig into her past. Her father puts on airs and is not everything he says he is."he explained. I nodded and hugged him.
"Good luck Elsa. And, don't get too close. You might get burned."he informed. I nodded and returned to the castle.
"Kristoff!"Anna said, jumping into his arms. He was singed a bit. I gasped.
"I'm fine."he told me when he saw my worried look.
"Did she..."I asked.
"No. In fact, we didn't even find her."he said. Anna and I looked at each other.
"Someone else has fire powers?"Olaf asked. We shook our heads. No. This was an old enemy. One that went all the way back to our grandparents.
