Chapter 4: Lost in another realm
When Lev woke up, he realised the temperature has increased and he was on a cart of hay. He saw farm animals once he had gotten up from the cart. Thinking it was some sort of a trap, Lev rechambered his rifle and move silently towards the back door of the barn. After he reached the door without startling the animals, he unlocked the door and tighten up his gears.
"You can do this, just run as far as possible," Lev murmured to himself to gain a little strength. So, he started the counting to three and be mentally prepared.
As he opened the door,he saw a breathe-taking view of mountains thinking if he was in Switzerland. Taking the risk,he wanted to see the whole village. Thus,he sneaked toward the front of the barn. As he reaches the front door, Lev was shocked. What brought him to complete shock is that there were a lot of people along the street wearing early renaissance clothing. There were no banners or flags with swastikas around but there were colourful cloths hanging from top storey windows. Lev knocked himself on his head and wiped his eyes thinking what had happened happened. Realising he can't get out of that world,he crouched and saw his hands shivering with fear.
During his daydream,someone broke it with a surprise greeting , "Hello! My name's Anna, and you are?"
"Lev Abramovich Isakovich," Lev replied awkwardly.
"My sister whom I guess you might have met is Elsa, or shall I say, Queen Elsa," Anna continued. "Where am I exactly? " Lev interrupted with a question. "Well,you are in Arendelle! Haven't you read the letter? " Anna answered with a slight frown. "As I was saying,my sister wants to meet you," she said while grinning. So,they took a stroll along Arendelle while Anna explained about the place.
As Lev slings his rifle on his shoulder, Anna noticed the rifle while explaining about the place. "What is that?" asked Anna curiously while grinning. Lev replied with a frown, "Something you shouldn't play with,it's a very lethal weapon." her grin then broke into a frown.
As their conversation continues, a little snow man half of Lev's height approached to them and informed "Hey, Anna I have something special for you. And who is the weird looking man with a coat?" he asked as he turned to Lev.
Anna replied unsure ,"He is Abraham- " "Lieutenant Abramovich Isakovich. " Lev interrupted. "In that case, my name is Olaf and I like warm hugs!" the snowman greeted with a deep smile. Afterwards,Lev awkwardly hugged the snowman. Then, Lev together with Olaf and Anna continued their journey towards a majestic medieval building.
They walked straight till they reached an enormous castle. Lev took a big breathe before they entered the palace.
Once they are in the palace, a servant asked "Your coat and helmet , please?" he was speaking in a posh accent. Lev was feeling luxurious, so he passed both items to him. Also, he passed his rifle and ordered, "This is a weapon. Please don't touch the trigger. "
Though, Lev will still keep his sidearm if something bad happened, he knew what to do. As the snowman pulls Lev's uniform to seek attention, he told him to go straight following the purple carpet to meet the queen. So, he did what is told.
As he took a stroll along the purple carpet he saw many paintings of Arendelle's ancestors. Until he saw a throne with a lady sitting on it. It was love at first sight. He greeted, "Good day, your majesty. I am Lieutenant Lev Abramovich Isakovich of the Red army serving in the penal battalion." he bowed. The queen nodded and introduced herself. "Your majesty,how did I end up here?" he questioned. "Please,call me Elsa. Just Elsa." she replied without answering his question.
As Elsa ignored his problem, she told, " Mr Abramovich, follow Kai and he would lead you to your room." She was smiling at Lev. After both of them left,Elsa started to shiver thinking about the great thaw.
