Hi everyone,
So now Elise and snowdrop are accompanied by Hiccup and Toothless. On the way to Moroz's castle, they see the wonder of the spirit's world. Meanwhile, Elise's family is worried sick about her.
We also have a song from probably one of the most underrated disney films out there, but it probably the best song to fit this story.
Please enjoy
Just a Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or the world they come from. Just the idea of the story
Jack has flown all around the world and back in search of his daughter, but so far he hasn't found her. He rests at his father's castle for the night, letting the other spirits fly around to find her. But, he feels like he should be out there again. This is his daughter that is lost in the world, and it was his fault she ran away.
"Hello."
Jack turned around to see a familiar person...Well snowman. Olaf hasn't changed a bit. From his body to his bubbly personally.
"Hey Olaf," Jack said with a small smile.
The little snowman wobbles his way to Jack, with a goofy smile. "It's been such a long, long, looooonnngg time since I've seen you."
"Indeed," Jack said hoping off the ledge of the window and kneeling down to see Olaf eye to eye.
"How are Elsa and Anna?" Olaf asks.
"They're fine," he answers.
"And Elise?" Olaf asks. "You know, I made a special gift for the day we meet, though, I don't know if she's old enough for it though."
Mentioning Elise's name saddens Jack. He sunk back down and looked away from Olaf.
Realizing what he just said Olaf saddens his face and held Jack's arm. "I'm so sorry," he said softly. "I didn't mean-"
"It's alright," Jack replied, trying to smile for the snowman.
"Jack!"
Jack looked up to see the Tooth fairy flying towards him. He didn't really had time to react as she swoops in and gives him a big hug.
"Hey," he said, hugging her back.
She pulls away to see his face, and how much he's grown. "Wow, it's so good to see you again."
"It's good to see you too," he said.
"Ok, I have to see," she said as she uses her fingers to open his mouth, seeing all the teeth inside. "Yep, still sparkling like freshly powder snow."
"Tooth, fingers out of mouth please"
Tooth giggles nervously to the voice behind her. Jack smiles as he sees the other guardians standing by. They seem the same as Jack remembered 16 years ago.
"Jack," Bunny said with a smile as Sandy waves hello. "Cricky, you've grown."
"Not too much I hope," Jack chuckles.
From behind the Tooth fairy, a small baby tooth flew to Jack's chin and nudges it. Jack instantly recognizes his friend for a long time ago.
"Yes," he giggles as he cups his friend's body and moves her to where he can see her. "It's wonderful to see you too."
The little Baby tooth bowed to him and smiles sweetly.
"Jack," North said with a narrow, sad face. "I'm sorry about Elise."
"We all are mate," Bunny adds. "But don't worry, we'll find her."
As much as Jack tries to smile for them, he can't stop thinking about Elise. She's out there, probably lost and confused. And with her powers the way they are, she might be even more scared. If only he had just told her the truth, none of this would've happened.
But, it was comforting for his friends to drop everything to help find her. He couldn't ask for better friends and a better family.
"Thank you," he said gratefully as he stands up and looks out the window. As the moon reaches the window and lite the room, he prays to Tasr that Elise is safe and sound.
Elise rode on Snowdrop as they and their new friends fly high above the world. The familiar sight of the sea changed to a green forest that spread for miles.
"Wow," Elise said looking down, never seeing a forest bigger than the one in her kingdom.
Hiccup look at Elise, smiling to see she's having fun. He remembers the feeling of exploring for the first time. It filled his heart with joy. So no doubt she would feel the same way.
But then, he felt himself lowering towards the ground.
"Whoa, Toothless," he said to his dragon. "What's happening?"
Toothless didn't answer him. But his body expressions said it all. He was getting droopy eyed and yawned. He was getting tired, and Hiccup couldn't blame him. After all, they've been flying for hours.
"Hey!" He called out to Elise. She turns to focus on him, and sees Toothless descending to the ground. "I think we need to land, Toothless is getting tired."
Elise sighs; she was hoping that she would get to the castle as quickly as possible. But he's right; Toothless looks like he needs some rest. And although Snowdrop hasn't said anything, she must be feeling the same way too.
"Alright," she said looking down. But there was nothing but forestry ahead; there isn't really a good place to land.
Lucky for her, Snowdrop spots a small clearing with a giant lake beside it. She motions Toothless to follow her down, with their riders.
"Ok," Toothless said half-awake as he flies down.
Soon, their human riders saw the clearing coming closer and closer.
"I guess this is as good as we're gonna get," Elise said to Hiccup, who nods in response.
The dragons lead the way and landed safety to the ground. But what Hiccup and Elise saw blew their minds.
All around the lake were creatures they've never seen before. Gnomes lay on the grass near the lake, while pixies fly around them. Centaurs and Fawns sat near the trees while basking in the moonlight. Mermaids lift themselves to the rock near the lake to comb their hair, while fairies and nymphs tidy themselves of dirt and sweat.
Elise and Hiccup dismount their dragons and wonder in this magical place, their jaws and eyes open wide in amazement.
"I don't believe it," Hiccup said astounded. "We're at the lagoon."
"The lagoon?" Elise asks him.
"Yeah," Hiccup replies. "My mentor Gobber told me about this place. Apparently, this is where spirits and magical creatures go to relax and refresh from the day to day troubles."
"Wow," Elise acclaim as she looks around. It felt weird, but she feels like she belongs in this place. Like some unknown part of her longed to visit here. But that kinda made her more confused. But she pushes that notion aside to continue to explore the place with her eyes.
The dragons found enough strength to walk with their riders and look around the place.
It didn't take the spirits and creatures long to realize they have visitors here. And they're spirits that no one has ever seen before.
"Hey!" A little fairy said as she flew right to Elise's face.
"Oh, Um. hello," Elise said totally surprised.
The little fairy tilt its head at Elise, getting a closer look at her. As it does, the other creatures started to gather around the strangers. It kinda makes Elise and the others kinda nervous.
"Hmmmm," the fairy said as she spins around Elise's head.
"What?" Elise said trying to move her head away from the little critter.
"Hmmm, I don't know why, but you look familiar," the fairy answers.
"Really?" Elise said confused. She's doesn't know how that can be. She's never been here before.
"Maybe?" The fairy said. Stopping midflight and crossing her arms across her chest. "You...you kinda look like...naw, you couldn't be her."
"Her?" Elise asked raising an eyebrow.
"Never mind," the fairy said, turning her head and body away from Elise. "I was wrong."
"You'll have to forgive her," a female fawn said as she trout up to Elise. "We've been searching all day for a certain girl that left her family. We're all trying to find her before something happens to her."
"Really?" Hiccup asks out of curiosity.
"Yes," the faun answers. "So for now, we're all taking a break."
"I don't think I've ever seen any of you here before," a little pixie said to the group.
"Well, that's because it's our first time here," Elise answers the little spirit.
"Well why didn't you say so," A tall, male centaur said with a chestnut coat and an old, but humble face. "Welcome!"
All of a sudden, the entire lagoon erupts into cheers and applause.
Hiccup and Elise almost backed into each other in surprise. None of them felt a simple visit was worth a celebration.
"I guess you guys have a big sense of community," Hiccup said a little unsure.
"Yes, we do," the centaur said with a warm smile. "Tell me, why haven't you youngsters come here before?"
The two of them look at each other pretty nervous.
"Hiccup here came from a land where Vikings live and hate the outside world," Toothless came up to explain with Snowdrop beside him. Immediately, all the spirits sigh as they understand Vikings and their stubborn nature. "And she can control snow, but been on her own for a long time."
"Well, not completely alone," Elise said eyeing Snowdrop. But she also got stares of all the creatures that became curious of her.
"The point is, we never really fit in with our own home and people," Hiccup concluded. "So we escaped, for a bit."
"Well, you are most welcome here," the centaur said clasping his big hands to Hiccup's and Elise's small hands. Though Elise was worried she might accidentally freeze him, but relieved to see no ice.
"Around here," the centaur said as he leads them further into the lagoon, "we do not judge or spread hatred. We live in peace, and we help each other in comfort and hospitality."
"We spirits all look out for one and other," a little child with elf ears perk up.
"Yes," said the centaur before he lets go of the two of them and gesture to the area around them.
Suddenly, the air was filled with the sound of a light drum beat. Elise could see some trees move and bang on their own bark in beat, while mermaids pat rocks to make a new sound.
"There is nothing complicated
About the way we live," the centaur sang with a smile.
"We are here for each other," a fairy said as a number of them circle around Elise's head.
"Happy to give!" They all sang as they made a flower crown out of thin air. The crown fell carefully on her head and sparkles with fairy dust. It tickles Elise so much she smiles with glee.
"Proud of who we are," a lone faun sang as he hugs Hiccup and Elise close.
"Humble beneath the stars!" The nymphs sang as they reach their arms up to the dark, starry sky.
"We've everything we need," a male satyr sang.
"The moon, the sun" other woodland animals like chipmunks and squirrels sang with him.
"There is more than enough here," the little elf sang while handing Hiccup and Elise an apple each.
"For everyone," critters around Toothless and Snowdrop sing.
"All we have we share," the main centaur said as he gently places his hands around Elise and Hiccup.
"And all of us, we care" everyone around them sang in harmony.
"So come on!" The child elf shouts as he grabs Hiccup's and Elise's hands and pulls them closer to the lake. Soon, the whole lagoon was in the mood for a celebration. Mermaids dive in the water, only to jump out and do flips for the group. Fairies sparkle in different colour lights and lite the entire clearing with a beautiful shine. All the other creatures and spirits dance around while gesturing to their new friends.
"Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy for givin' and takin' to the friends we're makin'
There is nothing we won't do"
As they dance and celebrate, Elise and Hiccup couldn't stop smile. Never in their life have they been so accepted and welcomed. Toothless and Snowdrop travel to them and nudge near their respective riders.
"Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is a festival
You know, and best of all
We're here to share it all"
As Elise looks out and smiles while patting Snowdrop's head, Hiccup looks at Toothless. Back home, their friendship is consider forbidden and an act of treason. But here, here they are accepted and praised for their friendship. It made him feel weird, and wonderful.
"There's is a bond between us, nobody can explain" he said to Toothless, but being loud enough for Elise and Snowdrop to hear.
"It's a celebration of life," Toothless agreed as he smiles at Hiccup.
"No need to fight again."
Hiccup smiles as hugs around Toothless's neck.
"I'll be there for you," he said with a smile.
"I know you'll be there for me too," Toothess joins him as spirits and creatures surround them and lifts Hiccup up like he's a champion.
Elise happily stepped back and watches Hiccup being appreciated and happy.
"So come on!" Toothless shouts as he race to join his friend.
"Welcome to our family time!" The creatures around him sang in unison.
"Welcome to our brotherly time
This is a festival
You know, and best of all
We're here to share it all!"
Elise smiles and laughs as she watches the spirits having fun around her. This sure beats the balls and council meetings she had to endure at her castle. This was the most fun she's ever had in her life that involved people.
"You don't need to be so hardened," the centaur said with a loud voice
"Someone is deep in your heart," all the female creatures sang together.
"Full of love, planning a future," all the creatures sang as they crowd around Hiccup and Toothless.
"Telling stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments you'll never forget"
As much as Elise is having fun and enjoys seeing people having a good time, those words made Elise slightly sad. Those words made her miss her family and the people she left behind. Though she knows that this oils for the best and it's better for everyone that she's a spirit, she still missed her parents and Danny so much.
"This has to be the most beautiful,
The most peaceful place I've ever been to" she said to herself in a low, soft voice.
"It's nothing like I've ever seen before."
Without meaning to, snow starts to slowly drizzle around her. Snowdrop looks at her, getting the sense of what she's feeling.
As Elise looks out to the celebration, a trick in the eye made her see her parents among the creatures, dancing and having a good time. In another corner, she sees her aunt, uncle and Danny, smiling and laughing in glee.
Those visions made Elise heart ache. A single crystallize tear fell down her cheek.
"When I think how far I've come I can't believe it,
Yet I see it
But now I see my family
I see the way we used to be"
She blinks back into reality when she felt someone grab her hand. She looks up to see Hiccup smiling at her.
"Come on," he said as he pulls her to the center with him. All around her, the spirits all circle dance around them, celebrating her. She felt so moved; she smiles wide and hovers a bit off the ground with happiness.
"Welcome to our family time!" They sang together as they join hands, roots, and paws in celebration.
"Welcome to our brotherly time!"
Snowdrop and Toothless made their way to the middle and muzzle their riders. They laugh and join in singing.
"We're happy givin' and takin' to the friends we're makin'
There is nothing we won't do!"
Elise was so happy, her powers wanted to burst out of her hands. Knowing that these creatures can be accepting with her powers, why not show off a bit. She raises up a bit and pushes her hands up to the sky. Snow like sparkles jet out of her hands like fireworks, sprinkling down like confetti. Everyone looks up in wonder as the snow falls down.
"Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is our festival
You know, and best of all
We're here to share it...
We're here to share it all!" Everyone shouts as they make their own magic explode in the sky. Making it blaze in colours. Everyone laughs and cheers in celebration as Elise and Hiccup continue to smile.
"OH, OH, OH! What are you mates doing?!"
Everyone stops to see a giant bunny hop out of a rabbit hole. Out of fear, Elise sank down to the floor and hid in the shadows of the other creatures. Hiccup also hides the same way, just out of fear of getting caught.
"There's no time to sit around celebrating when the royal Princess is still missing," Bunny yells in anger. "So you lot get going!"
Immediately, the creatures spread out and fled the area. Either by flying, diving into the lake, or galloping into the forest.
Elise and Hiccup got swept up by the dust and nearly got trampled. Lucky for them, Snowdrop and Toothless covered them with their wings.
Not wanting to get caught by a giant Bunny, the group ran like the rest of the group and fled into the woods. But they disappear like the other creatures; they just kept running and running. As soon as they got a good distance from the lagoon, they nearly collapse in relief.
"Ok," Hiccup said leaning next to a tree with Toothless beside him. "That was one crazy bunny."
"I agree," Elise said sitting down at the same tree. Hiccup also sank down to sit with her, while Toothless and Snowdrop curled up with their heads next to their riders.
"Any idea who that was?" Elise asks out of curiosity. "Or what he was talking about?"
"Not entirely sure," he replies. "But I think he might be the Easter Bunny."
"The Easter bunny?" Elise said with a raised eyebrow. "Are you serious?!"
"I don't know," Hiccup sighs. "I've never met him. But he's every bit of the description Gobber said."
"Gobber?" Elise asks him.
"My mentor," Hiccup explains. "He's taught me everything from black smiting to fighting. More of being a blacksmith than actually fighting. But there's only so much a person can do with one hand."
Elise snickers a bit at Hiccup's sarcastic sense of humour. Soon, the dark sky had a ribbon of golden sand dance across it.
Snowdrop instantly jumps on her four legs and bounce around like an excited puppy.
"What's with her?" Hiccup asks Elise.
She smiles, "we always do this at home. We fly up and touch the ribbon, they always seem to show beautiful pictures made out of sand. Don't you see it at Berk?"
"Not really," he shrugs. "I would like to see this up close."
"Count me out," Toothless groans. "I need to rest my wings."
"Oh come on," Hiccup begs him.
"It's alright," Elise said standing up and petting Snowdrop. "You can ride her for a bit."
Snowdrop smiles and nods to him to give home permission to ride on her back.
"Thanks," Hiccup said as he gets up and walks to Snowdrop. He slowly mounts her; it felt like sitting on hard ice with a layer of powered snow.
With a push of her legs, Elise was the first one in the sky. She felt the wind hitting her body, but easily presses through it. She looks behind to see Snowdrop catching up with Hiccup on her back. It was happy to see those two enjoying themselves. But soon, they made it to the ribbon. Out of habit, Elise shot her hand up into the sand, and a bit of it broke off and swirls around her. It then shows a figure of a princess with really, really long hair dance around with a man. Hiccup did the same when he reaches up and touches the ribbon of sand. A piece of it broke off, and made a figure of a boy riding a lion.
"Wow," he gasps.
"I know," Elise said in agreement. "I always like coming up here when this shows up. Though, I don't really know what it is."
"Well, now that you're a spirit, you'll have plenty of time to find out," Hiccup points out.
"Yeah," she sighs as she holds her elbow tight to her body.
"While we're up here, mind if I show you something?" Hiccup said with a sly voice.
"Ummm, sure I guess," Elise said unsure.
"Great!" Hiccup said as he jumps off of Snowdrop and plummets towards the ground.
"Hiccup!" Elise cries out in fear, with Snowdrop's eyes reacting the same horror.
Hiccup spread his arms out to slow his decent, but then put his hands into some straps of leather attached to his legs. He then pulls them out; making some flaps of red fabric spread from his body his arms like makeshift bat wings. He uses them to curve back up, and ride the wind. He screamed triumphantly as he flies over the forest.
Elise was amazed to be sure; the boy is flying without the need of magic.
But then that excimer turned to terror as she sees him heading straight for a big tree.
"Ok, steering still needs work," he admits before screaming, "TOOTHLESS!"
But Elise was closer than Toothless was. She zooms down and picks up Hiccup by the back of his wings. But he was going too fast for her to stop him completely in mid-air. The best she could do was to steer him away from the tree, and onto the ground.
They land in a thud near the tree, covering themselves with dirt.
"Sorry about that," Hiccup groans.
"It's alright," Elise replies.
Soon, the two of them were joined by their dragons.
"Please tell me you didn't try those wings again," Toothless groans.
Hiccup stood up and rolls the fabric back into their spots, leaving the leather straps sticking out. "Well, yeah. I was close that time."
"Yeah, close to disaster, again," Toothless mumbles.
"Well I think they're cool," Elise comments.
"Really?" Hiccup said shocked.
"Yeah," she nods.
"Well, if you think that's cool, what do you think of this?" Hiccup reaches behind on his belt and pulls out a little metal rod.
Elise took it and looked at it confused. It was a fine art in craftsmanship, but why would Hiccup carry it around. But then her finger accidentally pressed over a button. She leaps back in surprise to see a blade shot out of the metal rod. The blade was surrounded by a thick goop that was on fire.
"Whoa," she gasps.
Hiccup chuckles as he grabs the metal rod from her. "I should've warned you about that."
"Wait, did you make that?" Elise said astounded.
"Yeah," he said sitting down next to the tree and putting the blade back in its casing. "It wasn't easy, building it without anyone noticing. But it's like, I have an idea and I want to test it, no matter how crazy it is."
"So, what did you do to get the blade cover in fire?" Elise asks as she sits next to him.
"I coat it in dragon spit," he answers. But it made Elise snicker with amusement. "I'm serious; I took Monsterous nightmare spit and coat it on the blade. Then there's a little igniter hidden that lights it on fire. And on the other side," he flips the rod around to a little dragon head. "It's full of Zippleback gas. Nasty stuff, but highly explosive. I use it for quick getaways."
"Wow," Elise said impress, "you're full of surprises."
"Thanks," he said putting the weapon back in his belt. Elise smiles for him, but then she saw a change of facial expressions in him. A small frown appeared as he looks down to the floor.
Elise turns her head away to give him some space. "What's wrong?" She asks.
"Umm, nothing," he said trying to coverup with a goofy smile.
But he ended up getting whacked by Toothless's head fin.
"Ow!" Hiccup said rubbing his head. "Will you stop doing that?"
"Only when you stop kidding yourself," Toothless replied. "I know you too well to tell when you're hiding something. So what's going on?"
"Yeah," Elise said with concern. The last thing she wanted was to make her new friends uncomfortable by dragging them along on this quest.
Hiccup sighs as leans his head back to the tree's bark. "It's nothing, really. It's just...kinda wired not seeing the sky from the comfort of your own bed."
Elise's eyes shot open in realization. Sending the same kinda idea he's feeling right now. They might not say it out loud, but they're a bit homesick.
"Do you regret this?" Eli's asks out of the blue.
"Regret what?" Hiccup asks her.
She slowly turns to face him with a serious face. "Coming along with me?"
"What? No, what made you think that?" He said a little stuttered.
"Well, you left your home, your family, and well..."
"Berk was a lot of things to me," Hiccup responds with a bit of a cold tone in his sweet voice. "But I wouldn't really call it a home."
"Whys that?" Elise asked. "Is it mostly because of those bullies?"
"They are the tip of the ice berg," Toothless answers for Hiccup. "The whole island thinks he's worthless."
"Toothless," Hiccup sneers to his friend.
"Really?" Elise said in surprise.
Hiccup looks at her and slowly nods. "On Berk, most people would rather talk with their hammers and muscles than actually talking. If you look weak and fragile, or in this case a hiccup, then you're a failure in the Viking way. I mean, when you hear the word 'Viking', I'm the last thing you think of. But my whole life, almost everyone treats me like the runt I am. I've tried my best and more to prove I can do more then what people think. If only they would give me a chance..."
He trails off a bit as soon as the memories of home flash back into his mind. But then he smiles as he pets Toothless's head. "It's only when I met Toothless that I felt like I had a purpose in life."
"I can say the same thing about you," Toothless purrs.
"So wait," Elise said trying to wrap her head around Hiccup's predicament. "Everyone on Berk treats you like you're useless?"
"Pretty much," he shrugs. "Well, all except Gobber and Astrid. She's the only one that knows about Toothless."
"But she was a piece of work," Toothless comments. "She nearly chopped you in half if I didn't intervene."
"If you call kidnapping her and nearly killing her on our flight intervening?" Hiccup said.
"It worked didn't it," Toothless smirks.
"What about your dad," Elise asks out of the blue. "He certainly wouldn't treat you that way."
"You'd be surprised," Hiccup replies. "Ever since mom was taken by a dragon, he completely changed. He's been obsessed to wiping out every magical creature and spirit that comes to the island. And having a three hundred war with dragons didn't really help. He became more concern with the war and the village than me. It's alright though, I'm used to it. But it still hurts from time to time."
"I see," Elise sighs as she draws her knees close and wrap them in her arms. She had no idea Hiccup had a sad story behind him. She guesses that fuelled his eagerness to escape.
"What about you?" Hiccup asks turning to her.
"What?" She said confused.
"Do you regret leaving home?"
That question struck a chord in Elise. Home was the last thing she wanted to think about right now. Especially when she's trying to put that behind her. But if Hiccup was willing to share his story, it's only fair if she did the same.
Snowdrop nudges Elise on her side as she pets below the neck. "Kinda, I guess," Elise answers softly. "I do miss it, but I am not going back."
"If you don't mind me asking, why not?" Hiccup asks her.
"Because of my powers," she said in honestly. "The people were afraid of me, they hated me. I just can't go back to that life, I just can't."
"It might not be that bad," Hiccup said trying to cheer her up. "I mean you still have your parents, right? I'm sure they'll understand-"
"I nearly hurt them with my powers!" She screamed, cutting him off. "Besides, even before these powers, they would lock me inside my home, never even letting me go outside to build a snowman."
"Are you serious?" Hiccup asked astounded and confused.
"Yes," Elise growls, letting her anger grow and grow. Her fingertips shine turned blue with frost. "They wouldn't even let me leave my home. They treated me like a prisoner, like I was a...a..."
"Ok hold it!" Hiccup said, quickly leaning over and clasping her hands tight. They were cold to touch, but the Hiccup didn't want her to set off a blizzard. "It's alright, calm down."
Hearing Hiccup's words, Elise took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down. Soon enough, Hiccup could feel her hands getting warmer and warmer. Soon, she was able to get her emotions back under control.
"Sorry," she apologized looking sincere.
"It's alright," Hiccup said with a smile. "I've lived on Berk; it snows 9 times a year. I've gotten used to the cold."
Elise smirks upon hearing that. It made her feel a bit better.
"Thanks," she sighs.
"No problem," he said with a smile. "I guess we both have parental problems."
"I guess so," she said.
"Lucky you two," Toothless finally chimes in. "I don't even remember my parents. I spent most of my time with the Red Death."
"The red what?" Elise asks him in surprise.
"Toothless," Hiccup said dumbfounded. "This isn't about you; it's about her right now."
"Fine," he said rolling his eyes and letting his head collapse on the floor.
"There's gotta someone you miss back home though," Hiccup continued, with his focus back on Elise. "Is there?"
Elise smiles, "there is one. My cousin Danny. He and I've been friends ever since we were little. But recently though, we've been drifting apart. At a party, he kinda exploded at me. And now with my powers, there's no way he would want to reconnect with me."
"I don't know about that," Hiccup said to her. "You're magic is kinda cool."
"To me, yes, but not to everyone else," she tells him. "One time when my family went across the sea on a diplomatic mission, I tried to run away from home. I ran into an unfriendly man, who tried to kidnap me."
"I bet he wished he never done that," Toothless comments.
"He's dead," she replies with a heavy heart. "I accidentally freeze his arm cold and froze a tree branch that fell on top of him. But, he called me a monster, just like the rest of the kingdom. They all think I'm a monster."
"Listen," Hiccup said, leaning close to her to get her to pay attention to him. "I've battle against a giant, 6000 pound dragon that could set a whole island on fire. And I'm on an island with a cranky old man and his sheep. You are, in no way a monster, mortal or spirit. So don't think yourself any different."
Those words brought a tear to Elise's eyes. Never before has anyone comfort her like that, not even her parents. But then again, she's never told them about her powers. So it was nice, to have someone say that her powers are more than just a curse.
But, after all this, after she becomes a full spirit, she'll contain herself in the mountains. Away from anyone and everyone, just so she won't accidentally hurt anyone.
"Thanks," she whispers while wiping a tear away.
"You're welcome," Hiccup replies with a kind smile.
"Watch it Hiccup," Toothless called out from behind them. "You don't want to get Astrid upset."
"What?" Hiccup said offended to Toothless. "This isn't like that. What's wrong with helping someone out?"
"You humans still confuse me," Toothless comments.
The two of them snicker and giggle at that, letting this tense moment ease a bit.
"I gotta ask, what happened to your leg?" Elise asks.
"Well, it was during our battle with the red death," Hiccup explains with a jolly smile. "Toothless couldn't save all of me, but he had to make it even."
"My bad," Toothless joked with a smile.
"What did your dad said after seeing that?" Elise asks.
"I just told him that it's from a dragon attack," Hiccup said, smiling back at that memory. "He then spent a whole month looking for an invisible dragon on the island."
"Really?" Elise blurted out with laughter. "What about Toothless?"
"You kidding," he said sharing her laughter. "Those Vikings couldn't find me if I was painted red."
The group broke into laughter and glee, completely unaware of two shadows looming quiet away a away, spying at them. The two of them were black dust figures of an older girl and a little sister.
The two shadows glowed yellow, letting their master see the group.
"Should we break them up?" The older one asked her master through her thoughts. "Get the princess to get the staff faster?"
"No," her master answers with a sly smile. "Let her have her fun with her friends. And besides, the closer the deadline is, the most desperate she'll become. When she realizes that she'll turn back to a mortal, she'll take the staff and play right into my hands."
He chuckles low and victoriously, seeing his plan processing perfectly.
"I have to say, I miss the blue dress," Anna comments as she and Elsa walk down the hallways of the castle.
Elsa changes back from her boring palace clothes to her old, sparkling blue dress with the long cape. She even changed her hair back to the old braid with snowflakes.
"Yeah," she said to her sister. "I just can't believe it still fits me after all these years."
The two of them have been talking and catching up with each other, while searching for Elise. They took a trip to the castle Elsa made a long time ago. All the snowgies were there as well as Marshmallow too. They showed them the cracked ice cylinder where then necklace was. Marshmallow apologized to Elsa for attacking her daughter, but he was only doing his job. Elsa couldn't blame him for something he didn't understand.
Elsa then turned the search back to her kingdom, on the hope that Elise would come home. But so far, no such luck. The guards searched the kingdom and beyond for the princess. Even some of the guests from the party reached out to their own kingdoms to find her.
But she was nowhere to be found. It was like she vanished into thin air.
"Don't worry sis," Anna said as she wraps her arm around Elsa to hug her close. "We will find her."
"I hope so," Elsa said holding her sister's hand.
Looking at the two of them down the hall, Danny couldn't help but feel betrayed and angry. How could his own family keep this whole thing a secret? Their ice magic, the spirit world, the reason why Elise was always inside, they could've told him.
But no. They would make him feel like a loser, and then blame him when he got angry about it. How could they? How could they treat him and Elise like fools? He knows they did it for Elise's protection, but they could've told him sooner.
"Hey!"
Danny was brought back to reality by the voice behind him. He looked to see the group of teens from the party earlier.
"What's up with you?" Chad asks him.
Danny shrugs. "Nothing really, just pissed."
"Gotcha," Chad said with a smile.
"Is it mostly the icy princess?" Cynthia said with a sly smile.
"Part of it," Danny admits. "Also my parents."
"Don't worry," Alex said wrapping a hand around him. "We totally get you. It must be hard to feel like you've been played a fool."
"Yeah," Danny sighs.
"If you ask me, it is unsuited for the royal family to keep secrets and lies," Charles said. "Especially to their own kids."
"And then you have the princess," Cynthia said. "You can't expect someone with the powers to destroy the kingdom actually rule the kingdom."
"No," Danny said backing away from them. "Elise is certainly strange, but she would never want to destroy the kingdom."
"Well, you know her better than anyone right?" Chad said with a sly smile. "What did she had to hide from you? After all, you are friends, right?"
"Yes...no... I don't know anymore," he stuttered. Not wanting his head to hurt anymore, he dashed away from the group.
But all the teens look at him with sickening smiles.
