Today was a special day for the kingdom. The gates will finally be open again. It was all for the celebration of Elise's 16th birthday. It was to be a day of fun and excitement. The people were excited to finally see their princess all grown up. Even the nearby kingdoms have come to meet the princess, and hope that she'll be interested at marrying their sons.
But as much as everyone is excited, there was still much to do at the palace. The ballroom still needed to be decorated, tables needed to be set, and the birthday cake still needed to be frosted.
Elsa ordered the servants around; wanting to make sure everything is perfect.
"The tables should be next to the band," she said as she points over there. "And make sure to have white flowers in the centrepieces."
"Yes your majesty," the maid bowed before running off to do her chore.
Elsa smiles as she looks around the room. Tonight will be great; Elise will finally come out of her room and be among the people, something she's been wishing for a long time. Though, nowadays Elise has been in her room more and more often. Elsa hopes a nice change in the palace will make her happy.
"Elsa!"
Elsa turned to see her husband running down the stairs. He's still as handsome as ever. Even though he's pretty much grown up, he still somehow had that strong resemblance of the spirit he used to be. From his child like blue eyes and white hair.
He hugs and kisses her before asking, "Have you seen Elise?"
Elsa shook her head, "not since this morning. But she's probably getting ready for the party; I really wouldn't worry too much."
"Indeed your majesties," Carlotta said as she went by them. "She's in her room and doesn't want to be disturbed. Can't blame her though, big day after all."
But that didn't really ease Jack. As much as he loves his daughter, he never really understood girls. He doubts he ever would.
Elsa smiles as she leans closer to Jack. "Are you alright?"
Jack sighs as he looks up to see the ballroom starting to look like a party. "It's just... It seems only yesterday I've bounced her on my knee, and now she's sixteen and wants nothing to do with her dad."
"Don't say that," Elsa said cupping his cheek. "Every little girl loves her dad; she just has a different way of showing it."
Jack chuckles as he looks back to her. "Well if there is a manual out there about teenage daughters, let me know."
Elsa giggles herself before they lean in and kiss each other.
"Excuse me your majesties?"
They broke off from the kiss and turn to Grimsby. "Your in laws are here."
He moves away from the king and queen, so Anna can run past him and hug her family tight.
"Hi!" She cheered, squeezing them close to her. "It's been so long!"
"Yes, it has," Elsa replied, trying to breathe.
The girls giggle as Anna pulls away from them. Kristoff came up behind Anna and handshakes Jack. "It's good to see you guys again."
"It's good to see you too," Jack said with a smile.
He looked behind Kristoff to see a young boy with a nice vest, his blonde hair pulled back, and a small smile on his freckled face. Sven nudges him to walk more forward.
"And is this Danny?" Jack said a little surprised. "Man he's grown up."
Danny was less then optimistic to be here. Because he's family with royalty, he wasn't really allowed to let his commoner friends into the palace. So he has to make due with the royal teens coming tonight, and Elise. He should be happy he gets to see her again, but he figured he would just shut him out again like she always does.
He was brought back into reality when Sven nudges his nose on his cheek
"Yep," Kristoff said, speaking for Sven. "He's his father's son."
"Oh stop it," Kristoff said in his normal voice.
Anna rolled her eyes as she continues to hold her sister. "Say, where is the birthday girl?"
"She's just getting ready for tonight," Elsa answered.
Elise was getting ready for tonight, but not in the way her parents were thinking. Instead of being in her room, she was high in the mountains, letting her icy powers loose. She figures if she's let her powers out now, there will be no accidental mishaps at the party.
It's worked so far. All her years having these powers have been a torment for her. She had to hide them from everyone and had to lock herself in her room. She hated it, but it was the only way to keep everyone she loves safe. But every so often, she would sneak away to the mountains to fully practice her powers and letting them go.
The trip up the mountains would be impossible, if it wasn't for her best friend Snowdrop, her pet snow dragon. She's been an amazing friend to Elise for the past four years. She would listen to Elise and comfort her in her troubles. She would even try to make her feel better about her powers. If anyone walks into Elise's room, Snowdrop behaves more like a white stuff animal. When they wanted to leave the castle, they would sneak out to the courtyard and Elise would use her magic to make the dragon big enough to ride on.
So far, no one has caught on to their little secret, and they would like to keep it that way.
"Ok, let's try this again," Elise said shaking her hands. She then pushed them away from her, releasing a small stream of ice magic in the wind. But then wind suddenly changed direction and sent the snow at her. In a matter of seconds, her coat, dress and chestnut shoulder length hair were covered in snow.
As she tries to shake it off, she could hear Snowdrop laughing its head off.
A little pissed, Elise made a snowball and threw it at the dragon's head. "I'm trying ok," she said.
The dragon growled a bit, with an ice like crown sticking out of the back of her head and back.
Elise sighs as she sinks down to the snow and puts her elbows on her knees. As much as she tries to practice these powers, it seems they have a mind of their own. She's still worried she would slip and mess up in some way, and then everyone will know her secret. "It's hopeless," she sighs quietly.
Snowdrop relaxed a bit seeing her friend upset. The icicles shrink back down into her snow as she walks to Elise. She nudges her head beside her, and Elise slowly pats her on the nose.
"Why do I have to a party now?" She asks, mostly to herself. All her life, she's never had a party, more or less have a lot of people coming to see her. Her parents have always isolated her from the world. Now she's sixteen, and they're throwing her to the deep end. What if she messes up? What if she reveals her powers? Everyone will hate and fear her.
She doesn't want to think about that, not if her powers are controlled by her emotions. She could feel a little freeze on her fingers. Realizing that her powers want to expand again, she flicks her fingers off to the side. The ice magic made a wave on the snow and made some spikes that spread out.
Elise sighs as she sinks her head low. But Snowdrop uses her head to raise Elise's. Seeing her friend's big blue eyes, gave Elise some form of comfort. So much that snow started to fall down on them.
"Oops," Elise said looking up. With a wave of her hand, the snow stopped falling. But as they look up, they also saw a familiar sight. A golden ribbon flying in the sky.
"Look!" Elise said standing up to view the ribbon. She's seen it plenty of times since she's been sneaking out. She's never found out what it is, because when she asked her tutor, she ended up with extra homework. Apparently for making up something that doesn't exist. One day, she and Snowdrop took a closer look at it. That's when she realized that the entire ribbon was made of sand, and when you touch it, the sand made different pictures. The first time she touched it, butterflies fluttered around her. Another time it was dolphins, then a princess dancing with a prince, and more wonderful pictures to come.
But it was more than just seeing the pictures in the sand that made Elise want to go up, it was the feeling of flying that made her heart jumping. She doesn't really know why, but being in the air made her feel more free then she is on the ground. Like the weight of the world vanished and she felt invincible.
She and snowdrop better catch this ribbon before it disappears. Elise quickly jumps on Snowdrop and the dragon took off without hesitation. The air rushing on her face made Elise feel like she was breaking through a wall, like breaking out of her prison. When Snowdrop levelled off and began gliding to the ribbon, Elise took a deep breath in. Letting her body relax and feel the cool air around her. It was almost like she was flying herself. If she could live her life this way, she would.
When they reached the ribbon, Elise reached up and touched it. A bit of sand broke out of formation and circled around her. Then a picture appeared above the sandy road, a figure skater dancing on the sand. It did a twirl and then glided backwards on one leg.
Elise giggles as she watches the little dancer preform. But then, something caught her eye, something she's never seen before. Something down below, sparkling in the sun light. It was a castle of some sort, but one she's never seen here.
In her gut, Elise felt drawn to it, as if she's needs to see it.
Snowdrop saw the castle too, but turns her head back to the kingdom.
"Oh come on," Elise said, slightly tapping her friend's head. "Just a quick look."
Snowdrop shook her head and tries to go back to the kingdom. There's a party there waiting for Elise.
Elise rolled her eyes and directs her dragon to the castle. "A few minutes wouldn't hurt," she said as convincingly as she can. She then pleaded, "pleeeeeese?"
Knowing she won't let this go, Snowdrop groans and goes towards the castle.
"Thank you," Elise said as they travel closer and closer to the castle. When they settled down, Elise widens her eyes in wonder. The castle was purely made out of solid ice. Even the stairway leading up to it was made of ice. The sun sparkling off of it made it shine like crystal, and snow dancing around it made it look like a fairy tale.
"Woah," Elise gasped quietly. She dismounts Snowdrop and walked almost hypnotized by the structure.
Snowdrop followed her as she placed her hand on the guardrail. Elise looked down; almost fearing her magic would ruin this fine art work. But it didn't. She glides her hands on the rail as she walks up the stairs. Soon, she was at the foot of giant twin doors.
'Who could possibly live in such a beautiful place?' She thought to herself.
She knocked on the door hard, only to have the doors move for her.
"Woah," she said in surprise. She leans in and marvelled at all the ice work inside. It was a front foyer with ice like stairs leading up to the higher levels. The floor bared the reflection and strength of hard ice. Above was an ice crystal chandler that looked very beautiful. And at the center of the room, was an ice cylinder with something blue and star shaped inside.
"Hello?" Elise said very loudly, hoping someone will answer. But after her echoes stopped bouncing off the walls, silence rang through the castle.
Gathering all her courage, she took her first step into the castle. But Snowdrop moans her that this wasn't such a good idea.
"It's alright," Elise said to her friend as she took a couple more steps inside. Reluctantly, the dragon followed suite.
Elise's eyes wander everywhere as she continued walking. She stopped however to view the cylinder in the middle. She crept by it, and took a peek inside. She quickly figured out that it wasn't a star inside the block of ice, it was something snowflake related.
But then, she saw lettering on the thing, lettering that spelled out her name.
"What?" She gasped. She pressed her face into the ice to get a closer look, only to see the same as before.
Whatever this thing is, it had her name on it.
"I need to know what that is," she said to Snowdrop. But the only problem is how to get it out. She can only bring ice and snow, and has no idea how to thaw it. She'll need to do it the old fashion way, by breaking the ice.
"Alright here's the plan," Elise told Snowdrop. "First-"
Before she could even say a plan, Snowdrop used her tail and smashed at the cylinder. It broke the ice, and break into little chunks on the floor, all while leaving the snowflake intact.
"I like yours better," Elise comments as she shifts the ice away to pick up the snowflake. As she picks it up, she notices a long silver chain attached to it, and a blue jewel in the middle of the snowflake.
"It's a necklace," Elise concluded, "with my name on it?"
She looks back at Snowdrop, but knew she wouldn't have an answer. But that just leads Elise to a lot of questions. Why does this thing have her name on it? And why is it here? And for some strange reason, she felt like she's hold it before, like she knew it. But how, where and when?
Before she could think more, she heard something scattering away. It came from the top of the stair ways.
"Hello?" She called out. "Is anyone there?"
She waited for a response, but none came. Then, a feeling of dread crawled up her spine. She stood up, clutching the necklace in her hand and looked around. No one was here, but she still felt like she was being watched.
"I think it's time we go," Elise whispers to her dragon. But before she could step towards the door, Snowdrop let out a loud growl.
Elise quickly turned around to see the exit was blocked by a giant snowman with ice like claws and sharp snow teeth.
"Oh my," she gasped. She's never seen a snowman like this before, certainly not one that can move.
"Go away!" The snowman ordered in a loud voice.
But Snowdrop opened her mouth, releasing a beam of ice from her breath.
"Wait!" Elise shouts. But it was too late, the beam hits the snowman. It didn't hurt him, but it did make him angry. Angry enough to make more sharp icicles appear on his back, and make his claws longer and sharper.
"Oh boy," Elise said backing away. The snow man lunged at the two of them, and slashes at them. They rolled out of the way, but now their separated.
The snowman roared as it looks at Snowdrop. She roared right back at him, standing her ground.
Elise quickly grabs an ice chunk from the floor and threw it at the snowman. He quickly turns around and glares at her. She picks up another and held it high, ready to throw again.
He menacingly stalks her, ready to attack. But then, Snowdrop jumps on his back and tries to bite into him. The snowman stumbles back, reaching as far back as he can to throw her off.
Elise threw the ice chunk at him again, and it hit him square in the nose. Thanks to that, and the weight of Snowdrop, he fell forward.
Now was the best time to leave. "Come on Snowdrop," Elise orders as she runs for the door. Snowdrop quickly followed her as they ran outside and down the stairs. However on one step, Elise slipped and slides all the way down, landing face first in snow.
Snowdrop came beside her and helped her up. "Thanks," Elise said using we hand to get the snow off.
But then, they both felt a rumble behind him. They turn around to see the giant snowman almost right behind them.
Instinct took over and they started to run down the hill and into the snow covered forest. Elise quickly put the necklace around her neck so she wouldn't loose it. While being chased, Elise waves her hand behind, trying to make walls out of ice to block the monster. But the snowman easily smashes through them. Even Snowdrop fired some ice shots at him, to no avail.
They kept running until they reached a cliff's edge. It was a sheer drop on the other side, and the giant snowman was just a little ways away.
Seeing no other choice, Elise mounts on Snowdrop and orders her to take off. But as they did, the snow man grabs the dragon's tail and pulls them in. Elise grabbed on to Snowdrop for dear life as the snow man yells at them.
"GIVE IT BACK!"
Elise held on to the necklace with one of her hands. There were so many questions about it that she can't loose it now. She needs to keep it. As a response, Elise shot her hand out and made a heavy stream of ice at the beast's eyes. It stuns him long enough for him to throw away Snowdrop. Unfortunately, he threw her over the cliff. Elise screams as she and Snowdrop plummet to the floor.
But Snowdrop quickly turn back around and level off with her wings. It didn't stop her from falling, but it not let either of them die. She glides her way to the ground, and into the forest. They crash and broke some branches on the way down. But they made it to the ground in one piece.
Elise took a couple of deep breaths while looking back up the cliff. The last thing she needed was that snowman chasing them again. But he was nowhere in sight. They were safe.
"Whew," Elise sighs, "that was a close one."
Snowdrop couldn't believe how upbeat Elise was about this. They could've died. To show her frustration, the dragon pushed Elise off her back while jumping on her hind legs.
Elise tumbles off, and land on her head. She sees Snowdrop's dumbfounded face.
"Ok, ok, I got you," Elise said getting up. "I'm sorry." She then walks her friend's head in appreciation. But then she noticed that part of the tail has been taken off, and covered in broken branches.
Elise shakes her head as she goes to the tail. This happens from time to time, pieces of Snowdrop go thanks to a careless move. Party thanks to her whole body being made out of snow. It was thanks to Elise that she hasn't even melted yet. She carefully takes the branches out of the snow dragon, and uses her magic to fix the tail fin. Soon, it was as good as new.
"Better?" She asks her friend.
The dragon responds with an icy lick on her cheek.
Elise giggles as she feels the cold on her skin. But as they finish their fun, their attention was brought back to the necklace. Elise lifts the charm to her face and views her name again. It was strange that something with her name on it was guarded by a giant snowman. That was alive and tried to kill her. For the longest time, she thought she was the only one with ice powers. So, who made that snow monster?
"I wonder what that was about. And where this came from?" She asks mostly to herself as she looks down at the necklace. "Was it out there just for me?"
Snowdrop merely shrugs as she sniffs the necklace. She then points her head to the kingdom just beyond the trees.
Even though Elise can't understand dragon, she knows what Snowdrop was thinking. Her facial expression says it all.
"No," she said standing up and shaking her head. "There's no way I'm asking mom and dad. If they discover I'm out here, they'll flip."
She walks to where she can see the kingdom of Arendelle, it looks nice under the setting sun. But to Elise, it felt more like a prison then a home. It was out here, in the world that she felt truly free.
She leans on a tree, letting her back freeze the bark. "What do they have against me going outside?" She asks, knowing that Snowdrop can't answer. But asking these questions made her feel a little better.
She sighs as she looks down to her hand. "I wish I could tell them the truth, but they wouldn't understand. Mom might, but dad... Dad would just be overbearing with me. Why can't he understand that being out here is the only way for me to be myself? No hiding behind locked doors or gloves. I would just be me, flying through the clouds. Like I was the princess of the sky, and a queen of the snow. If only..."
She hugs her arms as she sulks. Snowdrop came and nudges her with affection. Elise smiles as she gently pats her friend's head.
But then, they both heard the toll of the bell in the kingdom.
"Oh no, the party," Elise gasps as she jumps on Snowdrop. They both took off towards the kingdom, hopefully not too late for the celebration.
