Hey everybody, I'm back! And I'm here with another chapter to Sleeping Viking and the Snow Wings!

Just to review: last chapter we finally discovered Tuffnut is the poor, unfortunate prince and has been cursed by Elsa, who unknowingly gave him more than a sleeping curse as his once black hair turned a very pale blonde.

Now in this chapter Elsa puts up a protective wall on the boarder where the Moores and the Human World as well as Hans intrusting his son to the pixies as Elsa begins to interact with the boy.

I wonder what'll happen…read to find out!


News of the curse spread like wild fire across all the country and people were devastated over what had befallen their new prince. However, the detail that really got to everyone was that the boy's hair color had magically changed from his mother's jet black to the ice fairy's whitish-blonde. Even the pixies were confused on how this could've happened and what it could mean, but Hans was sure of one thing; he had to protect his son and that meant making sure this curse couldn't be fulfilled.

What no one in the Human Realm was aware of was that all this talk and confusion was being well-heard. From atop the rafters of inns and taverns, and perched in the shadows out of sight within the castle, Kristoff heard every small detail and would report it all back to Elsa as she patiently waited either within her own castle or her icy throne in the frozen-over Moores.

"King Hans ordered his men to seize every spinning wheel in the kingdom."

After assuring a near hysterical Heather that he would take care of things, Hans ordered his Captain of the Guard to go to every town, every village within their lands and gather every last spinning wheel and bring them to the castle. The guards did as told going to every settlement in the kingdom and going door-to-door, seizing every last spinning wheel they could find.

"The wheels were broken and burned so that they could be never be used again. And were thrown into the deepest, darkest dungeon in the castle."

Once the spinning wheels were all within the dungeon room deep beneath the castle, the guards set the large piles of wood on fire before shutting the large doors and sealing them off so that whatever remained of the wheels, they would never see the light of day again.

"Secretly, he entrusted the child's safety to the magic of the pixies. Who promised to take him to remote hide-a-way where they would raise him for sixteen years and a day."

Fearing Elsa would return again and try to speed her curse along, Hans talked with a heart-broken Heather, who eventually agreed that hiding their son and entrusting his care to someone who could protect him would be the best way to ensure Tuffnut's safety. So, in the dead of night, disguised as peasants, the royal couple meet-up with Astrid, Ruffnut and Anna, and handed their child over after explaining their plan. Although unsure that they would be able to protect the boy from a fairy as powerful as Elsa, they agreed to care for the prince, sneaking away into the forest on an ox-pulled wagon the king provided.

"Hans shut himself away within the walls of his castle."

As time slowly did its haunting dance, Hans began to shut himself away from the world, overcome with hurt and anger towards Elsa for her casting her curse on his small, innocent son. He vowed to get her back for it, disregarding his previous concern for her safety and well-being. So he sent dozens of his finest men to hunt Elsa down and bring her to justice.

"While his soldiers roamed far and wide to hunt Elsa down."

However, as Hans gave the order to arrest Elsa, he was unaware a certain dual-toned crow spying from a darkened walkway that led outside. Kristoff's eyes narrowed dangerously at hearing the venomous order for his mistress' head and was quick to fly back to the Moores to warn her. Not even an hour after hearing the news, Elsa walked to the boarder where her world met Hans' and with a deep breath, she stepped forward and extended both hands, causing gigantic gales of ice to burst forth from her hands.

This ice spread out along the ground and as it did, it grew into a high wall of thick ice that towered over the magnificent trees of the Moores in a protective barricade.

"But she made walls of her own, so that the Moores would never gain suffer from the touch of another human."

From atop her throne of ice, each time Kristoff brought her news from the city and its castle, she would laugh with malicious glee from the sorrow and devastation she created. As she enjoyed herself, Kristoff, while still in his human form, would watch her from behind the frosted branches of a nearby tree with a look of uncertain-sadness. He was unsure if this whole thing was really the right thing to do, as Tuffnut never did anything to either of them and at the same time, he was truly saddened to see that it took all of this to make Elsa happy.

"And she revelled in the sorrow her curse had brought."

After three and a half days of traveling on through the clustered paths of the forest, the pixies soon arrived to their destination: a simple looking cottage. It was two-storied with its own garden and a fence made from wooden poles and rope. It was simple in design with its hard wooden door and shutters with empty, weed-invested flowerbeds lining every window. It was mostly white, with brown wooden beams and hay roofs.

"Oh no, is this it?" Astrid said in disbelief. "It looks dreadful!" Ruffnut said bluntly, wrinkling her nose.

Astrid groaned, before throwing down the ox's reigns and said to her fellow pixies, "Come on!" Together, they lifted Tuffnut, who laid quietly in a little basket, and carried him towards the house.

"Oh, for a baby he's pretty heavy!" Ruffnut grunted. "I think I'm going to break a wing!" Astrid added as they wavered a little.

"I think we need a smaller baby!" Ruffnut retorted before they shrieked at nearly falling, causing Tuffnut to start crying, but they were quick to right themselves. "Or bigger bodies!" Anna piped in. "No, what we need is a better disguise!" Astrid said.

"What do you mean?" Ruffnut asked. "Well, we need to blend in else everyone will know Tuffnut's the prince," Astrid explained as they set said baby down on a stump, before adding matter-of-factly, "Plus we need to be big enough to look after this baby!" Ruffnut winced knowing she was right.

Astrid sighed, as much as she didn't want to do this, she knew they had to. "So, gather round ladies," The purple-clad pixie said motioning them closer, once they did so, Astrid held up a finger in preparation, "Ready? One, two, three and…grow!"

The trio then spun around and were engulfed in different coloured lights. The lights grew in size and revealed the pixies now looked like three young girl who just entered their early adulthood; even their clothes changed. Ruffnut's hat was exchanged for a brown, root-like headband with what looked like leaves sticking out here and there, her dress being a yellow-ish green with a white blouse underneath and a dark green, sleeveless vest over top.

Anna's dress was consisted of dark blue top with a buttoned-up collar with a darker skirt and lighter ribbon tied around her waist with a bow on the back. Astrid's dress was dark red with lighter sleeves and curled-toed boots, a woolly hat sitting on her head. Though their hair-styles didn't change, their wings vanished and they were much more able to care for their charge.

The girls all shrieked as they stumbled a little, trying to get used to the size change as well as the lose of weight from their wings. "Well, that worked rather well," Astrid smiled as their cries turned into laughter as they marvelled at their work, Anna even did a little twirl, "Very nice ladies, now they'll be no questions asked; we are no longer pixies, just three young women, raising our orphaned child in the woods."

At the mention of the boy, Ruffnut and Anna smiled as they leaned in and tickled Tuffnut, making him coo and giggle. "So…no more flying," Astrid said as she quickly turned and headed inside as the two looked at each other in shock.

"No more flying?" Anna shouted in shock before she and Ruffnut, abruptly forgetting about Tuffnut, followed Astrid inside, while complaining. "No, no, no and no, and no magic," Astrid said firmly, much to their disbelieved shock.

All three of them, forgetting the baby, went inside, still arguing. Once the door was closed, Kristoff swooped down from his hidden perch of a high branch, landing gracefully next to the sniffling infant prince, who took a moment to notice the large black and blonde bird. Attempting to cheer the boy up, Kristoff titled his head with a quiet caw, sticking his tongue out in a silly way and sure enough, it makes Tuffnut laugh and frail his arms in joy, but then when one of Tuffnut's tiny fingers touched the edge of the basket, a thin coat of ice danced across the rim of the basket, much to Kristoff's shock as he jumped with a start.

He quickly flew off to tell Elsa of this development just as Anna came running back out. "There you are!" She said to the infant, eyes closed, "Why do you keep…" She paused upon opening her eyes and gasping to see the ice on the basket.

She cried out in alarm, "ASTRID!" While running inside with the baby.

A little later, after deciding to try and hide Tuffnut's newfound power and leaving the boy in the basket next to an empty window. Elsa arrived to see the boy for herself, when Kristoff told her of Hans' plan to hide Tuffnut from her, she snorted. Clearly the king forgot there was no point in hiding anything from her as she always had a way of finding what she wanted, hence why she always bested him in hide-n-seek as children.

However, upon learning of the boy's new hair colour and that he could create ice, Elsa was both intrigued and confused. She was a little happy that the woman's black hair had been replaced with her own, but that didn't mean she was going to reverse the curse. Heck no.

As she sauntered up to the quaint little home, she spied a window partially opened and walked up to it to find Tuffnut, still in his basket, sitting by it, crying for attention as he was once again forgotten.

However, he stopped crying upon noticing Elsa peering down at him through the window and stared at her curiously as she hummed in thought. "He looks so much like his father you could almost feel sorry for him," Elsa mused coldly to Kristoff, who was perched on her staff.

When Tuffnut smiled a gummy smile up at her, Elsa frowned before giving her best scary look as she gave a throaty hiss, trying to make him cry again. However, Tuffnut just continued to smile up at her and reached out toward her, cooing as frost began to form on the window's glass panels. As surprised as she was about the apparent ability, she didn't let it show.

Elsa's face fell into a disappointed frown as she snipped, "I hate you…" For good measure she added, "Sno dyret." (1)

She then heard the disguised trio approaching and took it as her cue to leave, despite the curious look on Kristoff's face as he flew back over to perch on the windowsill to look at Tuffnut for a moment before flying after her.

"The fairies were perhaps unequal to their task."

Less then hours later, as Astrid was trying to manually clean up the garden, Tuffnut laid in his basket on the stump, crying his eyes out in hunger as Ruffnut and Astrid panicked unsure about what to do. In the Moores babies were rare as they led long lives and all babies were raised in the protective care of their parents, so the fairies had little experience with caring for an infant, let alone a human one.

"Why is he crying?" Ruffnut asked hands on her hips, annoyed with the loud sound. "I don't know," Anna shrugged helplessly, "Maybe he's hungry."

Astrid looked up at this, an incredulous look on her face that if they figured if that's what was wrong, then they should be trying to do something. "Then feed him!" The self-proclaimed leader of the trio and the eldest snapped at them.

As the two girls stumbled over themselves trying to figure out and fetch something for Tuffnut to eat, they were all unaware that perched high up on a tree was Kristoff. The raven could only watch in amusement as the girls tried to find something. Being raised around humans most his life he knew very well it would be near impossible for milk to be found without going to a farmer first with something valuable to trade, the only other thing usable was mushy berries and he didn't see a bush anywhere near the cottage, so it was going to be fun to see what they'd do.

Or at least, that's what he previously thought until he saw what they did. Kristoff did a double-take when Ruffnut carried over a few carrots. She placed three in the basket and dangled two others over Tuffnut playfully, thinking he'd try to take them, but the poor baby just continued to cry in hunger and Anna watched in uncertainty.

Kristoff shook his avian head in disbelief, while covering his face with an exasperated cawed sigh. Were all fairies this dumb or was it just Ruffnut?

Down below, also watching on a more thicker, stronger branch still out of sight, was Elsa, who was thinking similar things as she covered her ears with her hands, gritting her teeth in irritation. "Ugh!" She groaned in annoyance, "It's going to starve with those three looking after it!"

Sure enough, Tuffnut continued to cry well into the night, as none of the three could find anything he'd eat. And believe me, they tried everything they could find in the garden from carrots, broccoli, turnips, radishes, even lettuce. Though, Anna suggested they find something none solid that they could feed him, like berries they could mush-up, but unfortunately, it was far too late to go looking for a bush so they went to bed. With Tuffnut still crying.

Astrid had tied a thick cloth around her head, while Ruffnut and a slightly guilty Anna plugged up their ears with pieces of cotton as Tuffnut continued to cry downstairs. Unknown to them, Kristoff flew into the room where the hungry baby laid in a wooden cradle, a special flower from the Moors that dripped milk in his beak.

Kristoff flew over and perched next to the basket, then carefully placed the part that dripped into Tuffnut's mouth and the baby slowly calmed down as he suckled in content, looking at the raven with curious silver eyes. Kristoff felt an odd warmth in his chest that slowly filled him as he used one of his talons to gently rock the cradle, allowing Tuffnut to slowly drift peacefully to sleep.

The next day, in the kitchen, Astrid and Ruffnut were playing a quiet game of scramble-runes (think of it like scramble, but with stones that have the Norwegian alphabet) while Anna was learning how to cross-stitch from a little book she found. As Ruffnut leaned over to see what Anna was doing, Astrid slowly reached over and grabbed one of Ruffnut's runes, however, Ruffnut glanced over in time and gasped as she grabbed Astrid's hand.

"What?" Astrid asked confused. "You're cheating!" Ruffnut shouted. "I saw that!" Anna agreed stunned.

"We're starting again!" Ruffnut said as she started to reset their game. "Fine," Astrid groused with a roll of her eyes, "Sore loser."

"Greedy…bloated…" Ruffnut said trying to find a proper insult, "Lizard!" She laughed as Anna tried not to. "Anna!" Astrid said as the youngest giggled. "Sorry!" The strawberry blonde giggled, "But…bloated lizard!"

Astrid rolled her eyes as they continued to laugh, but then blinked in surprise when she felt something wet fall on her, then heard the sound of raindrops hitting the table. She looked up in surprised, confusion, then at Ruffnut as she said, "Stop doing that."

Ruffnut was confused as she too looked up at the ceiling, then at her sister, "I'm not doing anything."

They all blinked when it happened again, making deep splotches in Astrid's top. Glancing suspiciously at Anna, Astrid said, "Well, someone is."

Looking back and forth between them, Anna said, "Don't look at me!"

"You two," Astrid said firmly as she pointed at her sisters, "Are having a go at me and I will not tolerate-" She was cut off by more droplets falling on her, soaking the top of her head, much to her annoyance as she stood and nearly shouted, "STOP it!"

They all stayed silent for a few moments and nothing happened, making Astrid smile as she sat back down. But as she and Ruffnut began setting up their game, Astrid shrieked when it began to down pour on her, but everything else around her and the chair was dry, making the other two squeal with laughter, until it started to rain on all around them inside, while it remained perfectly sunny outside.

Shrieking in alarm, they grabbed pots to cover their heads, while Astrid used the game board as she snapped at Ruffnut, "This is all your fault!"

As this continued, they were unaware that outside, right across from the innocent looking cottage, Elsa sat in the low, thick branches of a tree. She was the one conjuring the inside rain as a prank. Elsa giggled with glee, grinning like a madwoman, while sitting beside her was Kristoff in his human form, arms crossed as he watched with an un-amused expression as it rained and thundered in the lower level of the cottage.

Clapping her hands in childish-delight, Elsa turned to look at Kristoff, only to be face-to-face with his dry, deadpan look, much to her disbelief as she motioned to the mayhem she caused, "Oh come on, that's funny!"

Kristoff just rolled his eyes despite the tiny smile on his face.


Hey-all! Sorry that took so long, I had such a horrible case of writer's block and I couldn't find the movie till yesterday for reference.

I just have to say: AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, that was funny, and I'm the one who wrote it! Ah, I love those three fairies moment, they're just so funny and never seem to stop and consider it really was someone else pranking them instead of each of each other. They put just the right amount of comic relief in this overly serious movie.

And Elsa! Oh, now there's something I'd pay money to actually see!

So, on that note, let's respond shall we:

To pokeyoftheshadows: I'm glad my pick surprised you so much and I'm glad you agree with me, he is a better pick in my opinion. As for Kristoff making more appearances, I hope this works for now, sorry if there weren't enough chills for you in that last chapter, but hopefully I can make up for that later and again, sorry for the confusion, I just had to come up with a way to make Tuffnut blonde as neither Hans or Heather is blonde; it was the best I could think of. Oh, just so you know, Hiccup is going to be in this, just much later on.

Sammael29: I'm glad Tuffnut for Aurora interests you, I had admit I was a bit worried a lot of people would be a bit disappointed that I picked him instead of Hiccup, but don't worry, he will be in this, but like I told pokeyoftheshadows, just much later on. And as for the princess…well…that would be telling, wouldn't it? Just trust me.

And finally, to Ali: I'm glad you like it and I hope you like this one.

As for our next chapter, we'll start seeing more interaction between Tuffnut and Elsa, so anything can happen at this point. And just for future-reference; would anyone like to see some Kristoff/Anna moments? I have nothing against them, I'm just wondering if anyone likes Kristoff/Elsa better.
