Disclaimer: I don't own Frozen or Rise of the Guardians. But if the guys that do want to use this story, I'm sure we could work something out for a 'reasonable' price… Mwahahahaahhaha!

Chapter 5: Moving on

"Yes, I am Queen of Arendelle. Queen Elsa of Arendelle." Elsa said with pride in her voice. Up till now she had never taken much pride in being the queen. It was a duty that had been passed down to her by her father, one she never wished for nor wanted. The only reason she didn't turn the position down was because that would dishonor her father, and because of the responsibility she felt towards the people of this country. The crown had been in her family for generations, and she wasn't about to be the one to break the tradition. Not after everything these people had done for her family.

For some reason though she felt proud of herself of the way she introduced herself to this would be spy. Could it be that she had wanted to impress him? Whatever the reason, it had worked judging by the look on his face.

"And who might you be, person who just tried to break into my castle?" His face fell into a mix of confusion and amazement after she asked him that, for some reason she found it really easy to unsettle him.

"Me? Oh... I'm Jack."

'Yes you, I don't see someone else trying to break into my castle?' "Jack who?"

"Oh... Err, Jack Frost."

That name rang a bell. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but she was sure she heard that name somewhere before a long time ago. Maybe she had heard it when studying the royal family trees of Europe as a child.

"Jack Frost? Tell me... why does that name sound familiar?"

He seemed lost in thought, as if considering whether or not to tell her. Oh come on, there was no way this guy was seriously a spy right. But then why wouldn't he tell her who he was?

"Yeah, err... You know… Jack Frost. The Jack Frost. I'm kind of the spirit of Winter. You might have heard of me in folklore. The personification of frost, ice and snow. Old man Winter. That guy."

What!? Was this guy making fun of her now?

"Do you think this is funny? You know I could have you arrested right?"

"No wait! It's the truth. Why do you think I can fly? …Let me prove it to you. Tell this big guy here to let me go and I'll show you."

He sounded sincere. But how could he possibly be speaking the truth. But after thinking about it she couldn't see the harm in letting him go. If he was a normal person there was no way for him off this balcony anyway, not without falling to his death or Marshmallow catching him again. And if he wasn't... well she wasn't about to throw the spirit of Winter in a dungeon. So she should let him go regardless. She gave a nod to her guard, and he dropped Jack to the floor.

"Thanks. Here... watch this." Jack picked up the staff he had dropped on the floor previously and took off, hovered in the air several feet of the ground. Elsa couldn't believe her eyes.

Jacks situation was slowly improving. Not only had he managed to convince Elsa to let him go, but now he also had a chance to prove to her who he was. She had to believe him now, there was no way a normal person could fly like him.

Then again he had also thought there was no way a normal person could cast ice and snow like him. But the giant ice castle in front of him had proven him wrong there as well.

The look on her face was amusing. The utter look of disbelieve on her face was incredibly out of character for her. She was a queen, the ice queen. A person of incredible power in her own right, having to power to create anything out if ice. Even living things, like her guard. The ruler of a nation, and a person of incredible beauty.

And he had managed to utterly stun her with disbelief. He couldn't help but chuckle at himself.

'Let's take this up a notch.'

Now that his life was no longer in danger his mischievous nature took over. He launched himself into the air at incredible speed. Ones she was nothing more than a dot in the distance he summoned a huge whirlwind of snow around him. It had been a while since he had taken his power to such limits, having no use for snowstorms on normal occasions. But all he wanted to do now was impress her. As the whirlwind of snow reached the peak of its power he let himself fall down to the balcony again, taking the storm of snow with him spiraling around him. He landed on the edge of the balcony in a spectacular fashion. The whirlwind around him slowly dissipated as he walked towards her. A bit excessive sure, but the result was just what he wanted. It had looked nothing short of heroic. And she seemed impressed.

"A...Amazing!" That's right, now it was her turn to stutter Jack thought to himself. "You really are Jack Snow."

"In the flesh. Well, not flesh exactly. I'm a spirit you see. That's why I was so surprised you could see me. People usually don't see me." There was no use in holding anything back now. He had to put all his cards on the table if he wanted her to trust him again.

"I see..." She seemed lost in thought until a mischievous grin of her own came to her lips.

"Is that why you were trying to sneak into my bedchambers? Do you usually spy on sleeping girls who can't see you, are you some kind of pervert?"

"Wha... No way! I told you already, I just wanted to see what your castle looked like from the inside." Why was it so simple for her to push his buttons like this? But if she wanted to play she chose the wrong spirit to mess with. Two could play this game.

"Speaking of which, I showed you mine. Mind showing me yours?" That earned him a nice blush.

"... Excuse me?" She asked trying to push her blush back down.

"You said you created this castle right? Would you mind showing me how you managed that? I've never seen anyone else with powers like mine."

"Oh... Ehm sure I guess. I can't fly like you. But I can do... this." She lifted her arms into the air and summoned a large snowstorm of her own, and let it spin around her. The snow seemed to appear out of thin air. It felt different from the way he did it though. He manipulated the air around him to create his snow whereas she seemed to conjure it out of nothing. Like real magic. When she had managed to create a large enough amount of snow she lifted her arms fully above her head and channeled it to a single point where she created a single large ice crystal. It looked like a giant snowflake.

When the crystal was fully formed, having consumed the entire snowstorm she dispelled it. Causing it to explode and scatter in a flash of light, ice and snow.

"Wow... that was amazing. Beautiful even."

"Thank you."

Her mood seemed to lighten, was she beginning to trust him? Well, for now he would settle for not being thrown out of the castle.

"I still don't understand how it's possible though. How can a mortal like yourself possess such incredible power?"

"I don't know actually, my parents always told me I was born with them. I've had them for as long as I can remember. Like you I would image, right?"

"Well, my powers were given to me by the man in the moon. When he created me. And I'm not a mortal like yourself, I'm a spirit remember." If Jack would actually care for these things he would ask her a thousand and one questions to find out everything there was to know about it. But what did he look like… a scholar? No, Jack was happy enough to find someone who he could finally talk to. And this person had powers like his own, Jack had hit the jackpot and only cared to find out one thing.

"So we both have pretty much the same power, huh? Wanna to find out who's stronger?" Jack asked with a huge smile on his face. His mischievous nature fully returned and with a vengeance.

"Y…you want to fight with me?" She couldn't help but smile. His mood was so contagious. He had asked it like it was the most normal thing in the world. A full scale fight between two magic users. A fight to find out whose control over ice and snow was the strongest surely to be concluded in an epic fashion, what could possibly go wrong. And he made it sound like it was nothing more than a friendly game of checkers.

"Sure why not, it'll be fun!"

"Fun…" She whispered softly without realizing it. She tried to think as far back as she could, but couldn't find a time where she actual had any fun. She liked to read, but she wasn't sure that counted.

"I can't even remember the last time I had any fun."

The only thing that came to mind was the last time she had built a snowman with Anna. And that didn't end well. She had locked herself away in her room from then on, shielding herself from anything and everything that could set of a reaction. That was the only way to be sure she didn't hurt anyone.

But that was such a long time ago… she was in better control now over her powers now. And she technically was isolated. They were standing on top of a mountain after all, and the only other people here were Marshmallow, whom she could repair. And Jack who was a winter spirit, she was pretty sure her magic wouldn't really harm him even if she tried. Spirits didn't have hearths that could be frozen right? Surely spirits couldn't be killed.

It was about time she moved on.

A/N: Fifth chapter already. The story is still taking place on the balcony however. But that… is about to change. Hope you guys liked it, and until next time…
