Hey guys, sorry for the wait, but I kind of experienced a writer's block over the past few days and I have been taking a little break from Odin. But now I am able to present to you Chapter 6 of The Fire King. Now I have begun to write another story of a Star Wars, Disney, Dreamworks crossover. I hope you guys will get the chance to check out that as well. Also Martin Luther King Jr. day is coming up, I hope you guys will be like me and him and dream!
So for now, sit back, relax, and watch the battle commence over Arendelle.
(Disclaimer: been putting this off to say it but the only thing I own is Odin, everything else belongs to Disney)
Odin: I drew my fiery sword above my head and shouted, "Men, CHARGE!" I through my sword down with the end pointed at Arendelle. I rode my blazing horse towards the city with the first wave of my troops, we ran with all of anger and strength towards the city. When we were about 350 meters from the gates, we were met by a storm of arrows and ballista projectiles. My men would not turn back now, even though I saw some of my men get cut down they still ran, for glory, freedom, and victory.
When we got to the walls, I ordered my men to form ladders to get the top. They did so and within seconds, about ten to fifteen fire formed siege ladders were formed and they began to climb. We had begun our attack on the walls; during the attack, I shot a flare into the sky that gave Elsa the signal to begin to rain hellfire. within seconds, I saw giants blocks of ice come hurdling towards the city, destroying anything that was in its path. I began to smile thinking that we would win this battle without any problems.
I went over to the gate with 500 of my men; I stood in front of the large wooden door, summoned all of my strength and shot a massive blast of fire at the door causing it to burst open in shards of wood and waves of fire. When the gates were open, my men rushed in cutting down anyone who stood in their way. I kept hearing people shout that we have broken through the gates; well no crap Sherlock, great investigation.
I joined my men in the fight of the lower city; we were unstoppable, no force could match to ours. Just before we were about to claim victory over the lower part of the city, a large battalion of Arendelle's troops came running down led by no other than Hans. Finally, I finally have a chance to wipe him from the face of the earth.
When Hans' men clashed with mine, the fight went on longer than expected. I knew that when Hans' was dead, the men will lose hope and start to run. I walked over to meet him but in stead I met the end of his sword instead. I gave a vile smile (AN: heh, rhyme) and a small chuckle. "You know," I said, "we have to stop meeting like this."
Hans said nothing, I only saw his eyes blaze with fires of anger. He seemed to have his mind-set on one thing, probably to kill me.
"If you only surrender then all of this will stop."
"And let Arendelle fall," said Hans with a deep angered tone, "over my dead body."
I let a sigh, "Well if that's what you want," I brought up my sword and struck it down towards his head, but he blocked it and I held my sword against his, "the that's want you will get." And the fight that I had longed for began.
We dueled each other for about fifteen minutes, each one of my strikes was strong and fierce, but it seems like that my strength was nothing compared to his skill. He had practiced the skill of the sword since he was a young boy. Ever strike I made, he seemed to either quickly blocked or dodged it or made a swift counter attack on me. Eventually, I found myself pinned to ground by the point of his sword; he was ready to finish me, but before he took me out he said, "Time to put out the flame."
He lifted his sword up about to stab me, but moments before he did I shot a fireball into his face, causing him to stumble back. I quickly got and ran to him while punching him in the gut; I cut his knees making him kneel down in pain. I lifted my sword in a stabbing position and stab him in the back; the blade went straight through, he was dead once the hole was made. When I pulled the blade out, his lifeless corpse fell on its back; I stared at the body for several minutes thinking back to our companionship we had before any of this.
"How come you never came out into the world when you were a kid," asked Hans. I began to remember a conversation he had with him before Elsa lost it.
I looked down at my hands, I didn't want to tell Hans the whole truth. "I was kind of different when I was a kid," I said, "I was worried that if i revealed myself to the world, it wouldn't accept me."
"You were scared of being judged?"
I looked back to Hans, who had quizzical look on his face, "Yeah, I guess you could say that." I walked with him for a while, we still had some time before the party began.
"Well, you shouldn't be scared of what the world would say. If they can't accept you for who you are, than that is their fault."
Their fault, their fault. Hans' words echoed through my head as I came back to reality. He was right, it wasn't my fault that me and Elsa are different, it was their fault for not accepting us and driving us to such heavy actions. And they deserve to pay for what they did, no forgiveness, no pity, no mercy.
After I came back to reality, I saw that we were driving the Arendellians back out of the lower city. I rallied some men around me and we charged for inner wall gates; but before I did, I shot another flare in the sky that signaled for the second wave to start marching in. As we ran towards the inner walls, we were met with a heavier resistance than the outer. We were met with a hail fire of arrows and ballista projectiles, as wells as rivers of boiling water and scorching hot oil, they must be idiots to think that hot stuff will hurt my men; we are made of fire and heat, nothing heat related can stop us. No matter how hard they tried, we pressed on; I looked back hoping to see more men come flooding through the outer gates, thankfully there were. Once a descent amount had arrived, I ordered a full charge towards the gate.
We charged the wall with all our might and within a few minutes we had reached the wall and began to take it. I walked towards the gate with about 400 men, I summoned all of my strength, and blew the door open with a huge wave of fire. People started screaming, "They have broken through the main gates, hold them back so the civilians and the queen may flee." Not going to happen.
I shouted to my men, "Raid the castle and kill everyone in it, but leave the queen alive for the Snow Queen." I shot up three flares to tell Elsa that I am ready for her; now is the time that she gets rid of her past, it will no longer haunt her anymore.
Elsa: I looked down at Arendelle and saw billows of smoke rising over the mountains, I heard the clashing of swords, shields and armor and the screams of people in fear. I started to get chocked up at the sight, a once proud city has now been brought to its knees by it's own ruler, kind of ironic if you think about it. I was already thinking of ideas to change this town into mine and Odin's image; fire and ice doesn't really go together but we'll find a way.
My thoughts were interrupted when I saw a three flares shot up into the sky, I knew that Odin has successfully raided the castle and is waiting for me. I gathered a small squad of ice soldiers to come with me, you can never be too careful, and we rode towards the burning city.
When we walked in, I saw the corpses of many of Arendelle's troops and only a few of Odin's. He wasn't kidding that only a few Arendellians could match to his men. As walked further, I saw Hans' corpse laying there with a gaping whole in his body; one idle down, one to go. We walked further through the destruction of the city as we came upon the castle. It was burning like the devil himself came for a visit, I smiled thinking that this is what the castle was meant for the most.
We walked into courtyard where Odin greeted us, "Ah you finally made it," he said.
"Where is she Odin," I asked, I just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.
"She is in the grand ballroom waiting to get a piece of ice stabbed in her. Now are you sure you want to do this?"
I gave a small smile at him that basically said 'I'm fine,' "Yes, I want to get rid of this ghost that haunts me."
"Okay then, right this way," he lead me towards the entrance of the grand ballroom. So many memories came flooding in when I walked down the hall, me and Anna playing with my magic when we were little, coming down for Christmas morning to see if Santa came, and also running away from Arendelle when I lost control. But no matter, I am never going back, the past is in the past.
We stepped in front of the door of the ballroom, Odin nodded his head that gave the signal to his men to open the door. When the doors burst open, we were met with little resistance, only a few guards protected Anna and they weren't really good ones at that. As Odin and his men killed the guards, I walked towards Anna while forming an ice sword in my hand.
Anna looked at me with fright, "Elsa what are doing, what happened to you?"
I ignored her, I only just came closer and closer to her. She tried to walk back from me, but she fell over one of the steps that lead to the throne. She laid there helpless with her arm up to defend herself and tears swelling up inside. "Elsa," she whimpered, "What has happened to you?"
I began to raise my sword up ready to strike her, but then I started to have a flashback of when we were kids; it was when Anna first found out about my powers.
We were running through the garden during one crisp fall evening, we were playing hide and seek. I was it; when I was through counting, I started running all over the entire garden trying to find Anna, she had always been so good at hide and seek and I never knew why. I kept looking for about twenty minutes until I looked out the corner of my eye and saw a small figure running towards base. I looked around and saw Anna standing like deer in the light, "ah-ha," I shouted. I started chasing Anna around while she gave little screams of enjoyment; I knew that if i tagged her I would win, but I forgot at that time that whatever I touched I froze. My hand was centimeters away from her; when I touched her, she let out another scream but one of pain. I looked at her and saw that her elbow was frosted over, I began to panic at what I just did, I just hurt my little sister.
Anna tried to get closer to me, "Elsa how did you-,"
"Anna stay back," I said in a terrified voice, " just get away from me for now."
"But Elsa-"
"Just go away," I shouted with tears swelling in my eyes. Anna left with a confused and worried look on her face, I just sat in the garden murmuring to myself, "just go away."
I came back to reality, seeing Anna on the floor about to be killed by me. Her face kept reminding me of the little girl I hurt so long ago, I became unable to do it.
Odin from behind me shouted, "What are you waiting for, finish her!" I brought my sword up ready to strike but I just fell to the ground in tears.
I heard Anna coming closer to me but I rejected like I had before, "just go away Anna and never come back!" Anna was shocked to hear what I said, she ran out the ballroom crying, thinking that she just lost a sister for good.
Odin came near me, "what are you doing, she is still alive the people will still look to her!"
"I just can't do it, she's my sister and she always will be."
"Well, what are you going to do about her?"
I looked up at him, he was very angry about what just happened, but I told him, "I am going to let her live, if she comes back I will deal with her."
"No you are not," his words confused me, "it seems that you are not ready to take hold of this task, so if she comes I will deal with her."
He was right, I wasn't ready to take on Anna and I never will be. She maybe the enemy but she it still my sister.
Anna: I couldn't believe that Elsa spared me like that, I didn't think that there was still some good left in her. She may not show it, but I think that deep down inside she still loves me as her sister. I ran my way through the halls toward the back lake where a boat was waiting for me. Captain Evans, who escorting civilians into the boats, some how managed to be the few that survived the attack. Arendelle was now a burning city, I never would thought that in a million years the enemy would be its own ruler. The captained motioned for me to get in boat which I did without hesitation, "Alright men, cast off!"
I realized something just as he said that, Hans wasn't anywhere in sight, "Wait, where is Prince Hans," I asked the captain.
He looked at me with great sorrow and said, "Your majesty, I am afraid that Prince Hans was... killed in battle."
I was shocked, angry, and sad to hear this news; he can't be, he just can't be dead. "No, you're lying," I said with tears swelling in my eyes.
"I am, saddly, telling you the whole truth your majesty. I saw Odin stab him straight in back, he gave up his life to make sure that we escaped."
I fell on my knees weeping for the loss of my closest and most dearest friend, he must of loved me enough to even give up his own life. I guess love is more than an open door. I gathered myself together and looked back up at Evans, "So where do we go now," I asked.
"We need to go to Hadendelle, thats the closest city from here. We can go there, resupply, and get some rest from all of this.
"Very well, lets get a move on then." We casted of the border of the castle near the lake. I looked back at Arendelle seeing the once proud city burning to the ground, but what was on my mind the most was Elsa. She had the opportunity to kill me and break our people's spirits, but she didn't; she just let me go. Why did she do that, is there still a little bit of the sister I knew and loved still in her? Maybe she is just lost and need someone to lead her out of the cave and show her the light (AN: plato reference). I don't know what to do, but right now I am tired and sad and I need some rest desperately.
Odin: The battle was won, the people have fled and the city is ours. The only problem is that Anna is still alive; Hans, their battle leader, is dead but the young queen survived, because of Elsa. She grew weak when she came close to killing her, if I was her I would have finished the job. I was furious at her when she didn't do the job, but maybe I was a little tough on her. Anna was Elsa's sister; I never knew what it was like to have a sibling, but I did know what it was like to have a best friend.
I had a cousin once when I was little, his name was Ethan, we used do just about anything together. We would play, run, jump, mess with the staff, all sorts of childish things. We were almost like Anna and Elsa when they were kids, inserpable; but our friendship wasn't long lasting. The day that I lost control of my powers and ran away, Ethan tried to convince me to go back and fix things with my father. I didn't listen to him at all; he tried again and again until eventually I lost control of myself again. I struck him in the face with my fire and left a scar on his right eye. He became so scared of me that he just ran away from me and I haven't seen him since then.
After that I was alone and scared, thinking that I am only one who feels what I feel. Until I met Elsa, ever since we met I have never felt so complete. I can't live without her and she can't live without me, we're a perfect Yin and Yang (AN: Yin and Yang is a Chinese concept representing the balance of life. For example, man and woman, light and dark, or Fire and Ice. Yin can't live without Yang nor can Yang could live without Yin).
I felt bad for yelling at her earlier, I now understood what she went through; I don't think I would be able to kill Ethan, he is still my best friend to me even if he doesn't think so. I walked around the castle trying to look for her, I found her in a room that was devasted by fire. I recognized the room, it was her old room, the one where we met. I started to get chocked up a little by the sight; it was sad to see a memorable place become nothing but a pile of ash now.
Elsa was standing out on the balacony that looked over the gardens; surprisingly they survived. I went over to hear and heard her singing one of her favorite songs; I was able to hear a the first part.
The snow glows white over the mountain tonight.
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like i'm the queen.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried.
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be.
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well now they know.
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore.
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway.
Her singing voice was like that of an angle, "That was beautiful," I said.
She jumped a little at my voice, "Odin," she said trying to catch her breath, "I didn't hear you come in."
"It's okay, I just wanted to apologize for my anger. I now realize what made you spared Anna's life, I wouldn't be able to do it either."
Her face basically said 'yeah right,' "Odin I have seen what you do, please don't act like-"
"No," I interrupted, "I am telling you the truth. I had a cousin when I was younger and we were like you and Anna when you guys were kids; insperable, best friends. If I was forced to kill him, I wouldn't be able to do it, so I know what it's like."
She gave me a small smile and then turned back to look over at the gardens. I walked over to her and put my arms around her waist, she just grabbed them in comfort. "Can you believe what we're seeing?"
I was confused when she said this, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, can you believe that all of this actually happened?"
I leaned my head on her shoulder, "Hey everything is okay, we don't have to live in fear anymore. We are now free to-"
"Let it go," she interrupted.
"Yes, they can say all they want about us, but it won't bother us."
She turned head up towards mine, she had the biggest smile on her face ever since she first found out that I had powers. "I'm so glad that I have Odin," she said.
That saying gave me a warm feeling inside, not because of my fire but because I knew that we would never leave each other. "Me to love, me to." We pressed our lips together and that warm feeling became a hot sensation. We then took our romance into a more... private area *wink, wink*.
At night, we both had so much fun together, *wink, wink*, that we ended up passing out on Elsa's bed in her room. But that night was one of the worst nights of my life; when I fell asleep, images ran through my head. Images of people's faces that seemed familar; then it dawned on me, those were the faces of people who have died at my hand. I knew they were because I the face of my father, Captain Henrik, the mountain man from the massacre, and, eventually, Prince Hans himself. They kept on shouting and screaming things at me, like "monster" or "demon" or "the devil himself." I shot straight up in bed in a cold sweat, my heart was racing like crazy, and I couldn't catch my breath. I looked over and saw Elsa sleeping peacfully beside me, I guess I didn't wake her thankfully. I put my head in my palms trying to get hold of my self, but I just laid back in bed saying to myself, "it was just a dream, just a dream." But really I knew it wasn't; down inside I started to think if what I am doing is the right thing. The rest of the night didn't go any better, I just laid in bed wide awake. What if I was doing was the wrong thing, what if I am really a monster?
He is starting to come out of his cave, I think they might both be beginning to come out of the cave.
