"There is a strong force that many of us forget to acknowledge. It's the very same force that decides whether a baby will be born into a poor or wealthy family, whether it will be royal or common, kind or malicious.
This is something that I call Fate.
"Fate makes even the most minuscule of decisions that make up everything an individual is and will become, every little detail that will influence what their journey will be now and what it will be in the future.
"Quite rarely, a strange phenomenon will occur and Fate will do something that is rather inconceivable by most people's standards: Fate hiccups.
I know this to be a fact because I am a result of what happens when this occurs.
When I was born... Fate hiccuped. Fate made a mistake.
"I was born in a kingdom a great distance from here. I did not grow up as other children did, however, because I was not like other children. I possessed unnatural abilities. My family attempted to keep this a secret, but it was beyond my control.
"I was banished from my kingdom due to an incident not unlike the one that happened today. Since then, I have been living on my own and searching for answers.
"I keep as far as possible from populated areas, only entering villages on occasion when I need food or want to do research in their libraries. I try to do this when I know that I can be alone so as not to cause any disturbance or destruction.
"I came to Arendelle seeking help from Grand Pabbie, the leader of the trolls."
I interrupt him here. "Did you find what you were looking for?"
He sighs deeply. "I did locate the troll king. However, he was unable to be of any help to me."
"Well, Elsa can help you-"
I cut Anna off once again. "If we determine to release you, where would your next destination be on this journey of yours?" I direct my question to Ember.
"My last hope is riding on what is most likely a myth." He sighs again. "Have you ever heard of the Kingdom On The Top Of The World?"
I haven't heard of this, and I'm judging by the silence of the others that they haven't either.
In response to our puzzled expressions, Ember expands on this subject. "I have read stories about this alleged kingdom in rare books I have stumbled across over the course of my search. They claim that there is a kingdom located at the exact top of the world.
"There is said to be a great wizard that presides in this kingdom. He supposedly has unsurpassed powers."
"What would you do if you were to find this great wizard?" I question.
Ember looks me dead in the eye. "I would ask that he expel my powers from me."
"Do you think he could do that?" I involuntarily rub the icy pain in my fingers.
He shrugs. "I suppose, if he exists."
"Which he'll never find out if he stays here..." I'm surprised that this is coming from Anna. I suppose she is now relating Ember to me and understands his suffering.
She meets my eyes and I know that I have her blessing.
"I have reached a conclusion." I declare. "Ember is to be pardoned for all wrongdoings in Arendelle and he is to be released so that he may continue on his quest. This is by permission of the queen."
A look of relief shoots through Ember's gray eyes; the fire within them seems to waver for a moment.
He bows before me and says sincerely, "Thank you, Queen Elsa."
"I only have one condition." I add.
Ember raises an eyebrow. "Yes?"
"You must take me with you."
