The day had finally come. It was the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. Also the coldest. And it was the day Arendalle's beloved queen would finally get married to the man of her dreams.
Over 50 different kingdoms have been invited to this special wedding… All the townspeople are talking about the big event. They too, have been invited, and everyone is dressing up light blue, knowing it was the queen's favorite color. Hundreds of white majestic horses have been ordered, with chariots made of some kind of white steel, all for the guests.
Everyone was waiting patiently in the square, with heavy fur coats around their bodies. A messenger was calling out all the families' names, assigning each their own chariot.
Princess Anna stood in the doorway, looking at her sister. "Hey, you ready?"
Her sister nodded, glancing at her reflection in the mirror one more time. "Do you think I look fine?" She bit her lip, and her eyes grew wide with concern. "Do I?"
"You've never looked better."
More than a thousand people gathered in a frozen area in the sea, with a light blue ice dome around it. The ice was strong, but thin enough to let the moonlight in. Inside was beautifully decorated. The seats were made of pure ice, with white fur making it very comfortable. There was what seemed like a carpet made out of snow, leading up to the altar in front of the room. There were flowers, made out of ice, created by the queen, in bouquets, with ribbons made of the finest silk decorating the dome. It was nighttime, and the full moon wasn't enough light, so it seemed like there were floating snowflake lights, around the dome.
Everyone heard soft music, and rose. Big ice doors opened gracefully, revealing the queen in an ice dress, this one made out of snow, so delicately sewn together it felt like Elsa was wearing a harmless blizzard. Her hair was up in a bun, with tiny ice flowers, gently resting on it. The gown had a belt made out of the same ice flowers in her hair. Her face didn't need either makeup or lipstick to make her stunning. All she needed was her usual bright smile and her beautiful sparkling blue eyes.
Elsa walked down the aisle confidently, beautifully, and gracefully. Like a true queen should. She beamed at Xavier, who had the only black suit in the entire dome, and who had tears forming in his eyes. She looked over at her sister, who was looking at her with so much pride… just like her mother would have done…
"Mother! Father!" Elsa ran up to her parents, who were both sitting quietly near the crackling fireplace. The two looked up, smiling at her daughter. "Guess what! One of the knights had a son, and he brought him to the palace!"
The child sighed and gazed up at the ceiling with a love-struck expression on her sweet face. The king and queen exchanged glances, and her mother spoke up. "That's nice dear."
Elsa continued, babbling excitedly. "He's so nice to me! And he has blue eyes, just like mine! See?" Elsa skipped over to her father and opened her eyes up wide, pointing at her pupils with a big grin on her face.
"Elsa, you're too young for this!" Her father looked at her sternly, putting his book away.
"Wha-what do you mean?" The young princess backed away, accidentally bumping into one of their coffee tables, causing a vase full of violets to smash down the hard, wooden floorboards.
Her mother looked at her with warm brown eyes. "Elsa, you're only seven. You shouldn't think about boys at your age." She shook her head sadly, her brown ringlets softly falling down her shoulders. "One day, you will find true love, I'm sure, and I hope he'll make a great king…"
Elsa stepped beside Xavier, and stared into his eyes. She felt herself surge forward him… and the annoying priest just had to start speaking.
"I do…" Elsa's own voice rang in her ears, and as if the world was in slow motion, Xavier leaned towards her, and the queen heard the people erupting in cheers… something weren't right.
Suddenly, the dome broke, and all the ice shattered down upon the shrieking guests. Elsa turned her head from side to side, not knowing what to do. An arm grabbed her and pulled the queen behind the altar. "Stay here," Xavier whispered to her. "I…"
The heavy ice doors flew open, hitting what was left of the ice dome. Two more burly men similar to the night the couple were attacked, ran in, immediately spotting Xavier and unsheathing their swords, ready to attack.
The queen watched with wide eyes as her husband kicked and punched the two men with surprising strength. A loud thump cracked the floor, thankfully not making it break. She whirled around just to see Hans advancing towards her sister who was trying to flee, but keeps slipping on the ice. Kristoff saw what was happening, but he was on the other side of the room, helping Xavier fight. He surged forward Anna, not seeing one of the men turning around to hit him in the back. Before anyone could react, Xavier tackled him, and the two fell on the hard ice floor with a loud oof.
"Elsa! Help me!"
The queen watched in horror as Hans grab her sister by the waist and cover her mouth with his thick glove. "Anyone moves, and she dies." He glared directly at Elsa, who was too stunned to move.
"Anna…" Elsa bit her lip, thinking about how she could rescue her sister. "You're a monster!" She cried, glaring at Hans right back.
To the queen's surprise, the villain only smirked. "I wouldn't say that if I were you Elsa." His smirk widened as he saw the queen's reaction. "Yea, I know you killed some people."
Elsa glanced back at her sister, who was staring right back at her with confused eyes. "Don't listen to him, Anna!" As Hans continued to talk about what happened that night, she locked eyes with Anna, fearing that this might be their last moment…
That thought made everything so real… after what happened, with how she lost her parents… she couldn't bear to lose anyone else. This was her sister she was losing. Anna had been with her during their toughest times. She couldn't lose her now. Not like this…
She cried out loud, and Hans stiffened, and everybody turned their heads in her direction. "Don't you dare hurt Anna!" Elsa's eyes turned white, as in glowing white. Frost crept all around the dome, or what was left of it, and soared through the air, forming what can only be explained as… well, it looked like an ice fire. Hans let go of her sister, shoving her into the ice floor, and turning to flee, knowing that he was no match against Elsa. The 'ice fire' engulfed him, and when it cleared, there was nothing there.
For a moment, Elsa blinked, her eyes turned back to normal, and she glanced at her sister who was now sitting on the floor, with concerned eyes. "Anna…" Elsa reached forward, but as she lifted her arms, it felt like she was lifting a whole mountain. It felt like… all her energy had been drained out of her. Suddenly, her vision grew blurry, and the queen collapsed on the floor.
"Elsa?"
The queen opened her eyes, seeing a familiar redhead's face, hovering above hers. "Wha…" She tried speaking, but all that came out was a mumble. Elsa tried again. "What happened?" Her voice was soft, but at least the words were clear.
"Don't worry about it." Anna smiled warmly at her. "Thank you."
Elsa closed her eyes for a moment, resting her head against the soft pillow again. She turned her head to one side and saw Xavier standing there. She took his hand and slid her fingers through it. It felt so natural… yet completely new.
"I thought I lost you forever."
Elsa smiled at him. "Should we tell them?"
"Now's about as good a time as any."
Elsa managed to find the energy to at least sit up, so that she could see everyone crowded around her bed. Even Olaf was there, grinning up at her. "Well, I guess so…" She smiled. "Everyone, I have some news." Elsa sighed. This would change everything. She patted her stomach, and for a moment, everyone grew quiet, shocked at the news. It was Olaf who broke the silence.
"Oh really? Is it a girl or a boy?"
Everyone laughed, breaking the tension. "Yes, really." Elsa looked up at her husband. "You know, you were wrong. I think any other time is never going to be any more special as this one."
