The king and queen burst through the doors. They surveyed the scene before them. The snowdrifts. Olaf the snowman. their daughters, on the floor. "Anna!" gasped the king " This is getting out of hand!"
"I didn't mean it" cried Anna, staring at the single white lock that spread through Anna's hair.
"What can we do?'asked the frightened queen.
"I know where we must go."said the king. He rushed to the palace library. He searched the dusty shelves frantically, and pulled out a particularly old book. As he thumbed through the yellowing pages, a crumpled map drifted to the floor.
Minutes later, two fast horses galloped out of the city. King Agdar was on one, carrying his unconscious daughter. Queen Idunn rode on the other, with the frightened Anna clinging to her. As they rode through the woods, Anna, unable to control her powers, left a trail of ice behind.
They reached a clearing, surrounded by strangely round mossy stones. King Agdar dismounted. "It's my daughter. Please. She needs help."
The forest was silent. Then, as if responding to some unheard signal, some stones rolled towards the royal family, rumbling, as Anna stood frozen in shock.
"It's the king!" exclaimed one of the stones, unrolling to reveal... A squat troll wearing mossy coloured clothes.
"The king...the king...the king..." The words spread out, whispered echoingly.
"It needs to come from the hand that struck."said a low, melodious,voice. It came from a troll that had sidled up to Elsa unnoticed. "Place your hand here, child." she said, indicating the white lock in Elsa's hair.
Anna hesitated. Then she approached her sister and lay her palm on Elsa's forehead. The crown princess stirred, and Anna was overwhelmed by a welter of confused images. They were Elsa's memories, swapped to nothing paranormal.
"And done!"exclaimed the troll. "She won't remember!"
"She won't remember... I have powers?" asked Anna in a very small voice.
"It's for the best."assured her father. "I'm sure you can learn to control it."
The returned to the castle at a trot. Anna fell asleep on the way.
"We'll separate them." said King Agthar. "Reduce the staff. Close the gates."
"Are you sure?" asked the worried queen.
"It's for the best."said the king again.
And so Anna was moved to a different room that night, and for awhile, the sisters were unaware of their fate.
