Greetings, one and all! And welcome to another installment of Frozen Phoenix! I hope you enjoy it and now on to some story.
Phoenix, Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf where making their way through the snow covered forest. Anna's hair is getting whiter by the minute, "So where are we going?", Phoenix asked, to the tall blond guy. "To see my friends.", Kristoff said, "The Love Experts, they will be able to fix this."
"How are you so sure they can help out?", Anna asked, Kristoff telling them he had seen them do it before. "You know I consider myself a love expert.", Olaf said, as he walked after them.
A little while later, the group was walking through a gorge, which for some reason wasn't covered in snow. Anna shiver from her internal cold. "Here.", Phoenix said, conjuring another fire wisp, giving her some warmth. "Thanks, Kyle.", she said with a smile. "Hey, uhm... About my friends", Kristoff began, turning to his two companions, "I said friends, but they are more like family. Anyway, when I was just a kid, it was just me and Sven until they kinda took us in.", the blond explained, "They might be a little scary, and loud."
"Lucky you.", Phoenix said, a little bit of jealousy sipping in his tone. "Uhm, what about your parents, Phoenix?", Kristoff asked, making the red head look surprised. "Where do I begin?", Phoenix said, placing his hands inside his pockets, looking up to the sky, where the sun had begun to come up, "My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it."
Phoenix finished explaining, gaining a shocked look from Anna and Kristoff. "Hey, there is no need for those looks. My parents weren't even around most of the time! And that is a good thing! Parents only mess up your life right? Telling you what you can and can't do and stuff?", he said when he noticed their faces as he tried to smile, "Like your parent's Anna! I mean no offence, they clearly had the best of intentions for by keeping Elsa isolated and urged her to keep her emotions in check, but this approach fails to address her powers and proved counterproductive.", he continued to explain.
"I am not sure, if your being sarcastic or not about my parents.", Anna said, before Kristoff turned to them. "Well here is my family!", the tall blond declared.
Looking around, they were standing in a clearing, surrounded by rocks. Phoenix, Anna and Olaf stood their, none of them sure how to react to this. "Those... are rocks.", Anna said slowly. "He is crazy...", Olaf whispered to Phoenix and Anna, "And I know crazy!", as Kristoff had started to greet the rocks, even making some small talk to them. "Back away slowly.", Phoenix suggested, and Olaf walked forward going for a distraction, but suddenly all the rock had started to roll towards Kristoff all on their own.
"What the actual fuck!?", Phoenix said, his purple eyes widening, him subconsciously stepping in front of Anna, trying to shield her from danger, "Why am I still being surprised by this crap!?", he added as the rock transformed into little rock trolls. All of them cheering that Kristoff was home. "It's great to see you all, but where is Grand Pabbie?", Kristoff said to his weird rock family. "Trolls... They are trolls!", Anna said, realizing what those creatures are.
At the sound of her voice, all of them turned into Phoenix and Anna's direction. "Your friend has a very feminine voice Kristoff.", one of the trolls close to Kristoff said, not seeing that Anna was standing behind Phoenix. "Huh, oh no, Anna was calling you trolls, not me.", Phoenix explained, stepping aside to show Anna.
The two were then pulled to the center of the clearing by the trolls, making them stand next to Kristoff. One of them started to check Anna's face, seeing she had clear skin, a working nose and strong teeth. "Okay, so these trolls are 'love experts' right?", Phoenix asked and his blond friend nodded, "Then when did 'saving people from icy blasts to the heart' enter the picture?", he whispered, before noticing that Anna had started becoming weaker.
A older troll came rolling towards them, "There is some strange magic going on here.", he said as he walked towards Anna, "Listen to me, your life is in danger. There is ice placed their by your sister, if not removed you will turn into solid ice, forever.", the elder troll named Grand Pabbie explained.
"You can remove it, can't you?", Kristoff asked, but unfortunately, Grand Pabbie could not, if it had been a ice blast to the head, it was another story, but a heart was far more complicated. "Then how are we suppose to remove the ice then?", Phoenix asked, worried for his friend.
"Only an act of true love can thwart a frozen heart.", Grand Pabbie, turning to the red head, silently studying him. "Oh my god!", Phoenix exclaimed, rolling his eyes. "It seems, there is another frozen heart.", Grand Pabbie said, slowly walking towards Phoenix. "What are you talking about? My heart can't be frozen! I am a living fire cracker!", Phoenix said, sounding a little too defensive.
"You have been hurt, you try to keep up a brave front with a smile, but you should let it go.", Grand Pabbie advised. Phoenix let out a chuckles, rubbing the front of his hair, "What do I have to let go of? My life is great! I do exactly what I want all of the time, I purposely do not establish any romantic relationships and make no apologies for what I am!", Phoenix exclaimed.
"People make bad choices if they're mad, or scared, or stressed.", Grand Pabbie said, though his advice wasn't reaching him, "But throw a little love their way, and you'll bring out their best."
But Phoenix had stopped listening, "We need to get Anna back to the city.", he said, looking over his friend, "We have to get her back to town, quickly... Ugh... Where is Messiah when you need him!?" he said as he helped Kristoff place Anna on Sven. "Come on Olaf! We need to go kiss Hans!", Phoenix said as he and Kristoff mounted Sven. "You got it!", the snowman said, quickly jumping on Phoenix back, "Who is this Hans?"
A few moments, later they arrived outside the castle, where they helped Anna to the front door, where servants where waiting for them. "Keep her warm, and get prince Hans as soon as possible.", Kristoff said, the servants assured the two they would, before taking the princess into the castle.
Phoenix was about to follow, but he noticed that Kirstoff had turned around and had started to walk away. "Blondy, where are you going?", the red head said, quickly walking around him and standing in front of him. "I am not needed anymore, she is with her true love.", Kristoff said, but Phoenix let out a chuckle. "Do you really believe that shit bro? Ever since you have joined us in our journey up the mountain, I have the feeling I am the stupid friend who is just third wheeling.", Phoenix said.
"Wait, I thought I was third wheeling.", Kristoff said, both of them agreed that it was weird. "Look, I am not going to force you to stay, but I have a feeling something bad is going to happen soon.", Phoenix said, turning around making his way into the castle.
Following his gut feeling, Phoenix was let into the dungeon. He tried to open one of the doors, but like any door in a dungeon, it was locked. "Lucky I have leveled my lock picking skill.", Phoenix muttered as he send a small bolt of fire into the lock, melting it open.
Walking in, Phoenix was shocked by what he saw. There she was, Elsa with her hands locked in metal, chained to the floor. "Frosty! What happened?", Phoenix said, quickly walking into the dungeon. "Kyle! Where is Anna?", she said, allowing the young man to give her a sligh hug. "The servants are bringing her to Hans. Her heart can be unfrozen by true love or something.", Phoenix explained, not it was her turn to explain how she had come from North Mountain into a dungeon.
Hans had come with a raid party to capture her, even though they were successful, Elsa had given them a hard time, and it had taken a chandelier to knock her down. "That's my girl!", Phoenix said as he made a small stream of fire flow out of the tip of his finger and starting to cut her chains.
"What are you doing?", Elsa asked, as sparks came off the chain, what amazed her most was that said sparks didn't burn her. "A beautiful bird like you shouldn't be locked up in a cage.", he said with a smile, looking her in the eyes, before quickly looking back at what he was doing, shocked that he felt something strange inside his heart.
"When I break you free, try to get back to Northern Mountain. I'll check up on Anna one last time, before I meet you there and take you to my World, alright?", he said, and Elsa nodded, making him smile again. "Are you sure you even want me there? I would just...", she started but he cut her off.
"Elsa, I have seen what you can do with your powers when you let it go. I don't want someone like you to be stuck in a place where you can't express yourself.", Phoenix said, melting the locks open. Suddenly, they heard the footsteps of the guards some of them whispering, "Watch out, she is dangerous.".
"Well, time to make an exit for ourselves.", Phoenix said, and Elsa nodded, both firing their respective element against the window overlooking the bay, smashing the window to bits. Just before Hans and the guards could arrive, the two where gone.
