EPILOGUE:

Now before you go crazy, no, I am not ending the story. I'll explain everything at the end so read and find out what's going on.

Life is cruel. You're thrust into this world, tortured and tested and are made to hate this existence but yet you are instilled with this fear of dying and the point when you finally begin to cherish your time, it's over and you can never have that time back. Life's greatest tragedy is it's irony.

It was a bright, warm day in Arendelle but this setting was unbefitting to what the day held. The kingdom and it's people were in a state of dread and woe. The kingdom was damaged; buildings were destroyed, the castle had been greatly damaged and seemed to be in a weak and feeble state.

The people marched in a slow, steady pace. They all wore black and held their heads low as their paced towards their destination. Some were crying, others held a face of strength but all felt the same level of sorrow but none more so than the young princess, Anna.

They all reached the place of the graves of the previous King and Queen but next to it was the new grave of the late Queen Elsa.

Her gravestone was similar to her parents. It was as large but the one distinction it had was the snow flake carved into it. The people stood in front of it and in it's sight, more people began to cry and let out their feelings. It was a pity to lose a leader, it was even more dreadful to lose a leader who was still so young and had her whole life to look forward to.

It had only been a few months after the young Queen's coronation and the kingdom was in a position of joy and glee. The Queen had been a kind, noble and humble leader and under her steady hand the kingdom had prospered, as much as it could in such a small time frame. But then it happened, the ships came. Ships that bared the flag of the Southern Isles.

The war ships were in great number and they were easily able to overpower the defense of Arendelle. Queen Elsa stood before the King and Queen of the Southern Isles and beseeched them to stop this attack but they only cursed her, accused her of witchcraft and satanic doings. They said they were doing everything in the Lord's name and were here to rid the world of unholy abominations such as her. But Queen Elsa was strong and she fought against the intruders with all her might.

She ordered her advisors, including Anna, to contact and travel to the neighboring countries to ask for help and many of them did without question or hesitation. However, the cavalry arrived too late. Queen Elsa, with all her strength had destroyed many ships and kept the rest at bay but even for a powerful woman such as her, it was too much and her couldn't take it any longer.

Shortly after help arrived, the Queen fell into a coma and her health deteriorated quickly. The other kingdoms had supported Arendelle and had fought against the Southern Isles and had defeated them. The Queen, unfortunately, did not recover and she passed away only a few days before her birthday.

Today was her funeral and everyone was gathered to pay their respects and show their gratitude for the late Queen's sacrifice. The minister spoke a few words and step down, giving way for the Princess, now Queen, to give her eulogy.

She stood before her sister's gravestone and was facing the crowd. Her head was low and she didn't look directly at the people. Kristoff, her fiance, was standing among the crowd and was looking at his beloved with sympathy. She lifted her head and spoke.

"Queen Elsa, my sister, had shut me and the world out for most of her life. She had done so to protect the people around her, protect them from herself. She had lived her whole life believing that she had been a monster. She couldn't have been more wrong. My sister was a kind, beautiful and gentle person. She thought of others before herself, even when doing so would hurt her, she didn't care as long as she could protect others. She had held this resolve until her final moments and we will be forever grateful to her for it.", she turns and looks at her sisters grave. She speaks in a whisper,"Thank you, Elsa, for everything." Her eyes begin to water and she turns back to the crowd. "Queen Elsa's bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten, her memory will live on!", she finished strongly and this made the people look up at her with respect and admiration.

After a while, everyone had left and the area was now empty. But then, a figure approached the grave and stood before it. The figure coughed.

{Frederick's POV}

A memory is powerful. It holds the essence of the person that inhabits it. As long as the memory live, the person lives. You don't die until you are forgotten and luckily for Elsa, she's going to live for a long, long time.

I approach her grave and stare at it with sadness. I look at her gravestone and see the snowflake carved into it and feel that it was appropriate. Elsa finally got to live the life she wanted, a life full of love and acceptance, sadly it was cut short.

"You were a unique person, Elsa, like a snowflake.", I speak to her in a soft tone. "You didn't deserve such pain, and you don't deserve what's coming your way... but you have to suffer through it. I wish there was another way but there isn't and I hope, I hope that one day I can tell you the truth and you can forgive me. But I know that won't happen and I understand why."

I bend down and stare at her gravestone. Only from tragedy do we learn how to enjoy life. I move my hand across the stone and examine the snowflake. It's lovely, just like her.

I get up and start walking away. I look up into the sky, it was now night and the moon was shinning brightly.

I stare at the moon. "Take good care of her, better than what you did with that Frost boy."

I cough and continue on. The tragedies have only just started.

Alright, so for now, guys, I am ending the story here but don't worry, there will be a sequel and I'm planning it. The thing is that my exams have come up and I need to study and get ready for them so until they end, don't expect a new chapter. My exams will end around June 10th so expect the sequel up by then. Also, stay tuned cause I will take a little extra time and upload a sneak peak into the first chapter of the sequel along with the name and probably some hints about what it's going to be about.
As always, leave reviews.
