Hammerfest is a real town, the northernmost town in the world. I needed someone to invade Arendelle so I used the name..
The sisters reached what was usually the beach, now covered in snow. The fleet was a lot closer now. They could see the armed men with leering faces. The ugly, black banner of Hammerfest fluttered in the breeze.
"Are you ready?" asked Anna.
"Wait." said Elsa. She took a deep breath and shouted: "THE QUEEN OF ARENDELLE WISHES TO KNOW WHY T"HE FLEET FROM HAMMERFEST APPROACHES!" A few miles away, a small avalanche started, fortunately hurting no one.
A gigantic man with a shaggy beard bellowed from the prow of the foremost ship: "AS ALL HAMMERFEST KNOWS, WOMEN ARE UNFIT TO RULE! IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL HAND ARENDELLE TO ME AND I WILL ONLY SELL YOU AS SLAVES, AND NOT CHOP YOU INTO LITTLE BITS!" The men aboard grinned appreciatively. The people of Arendelle muttered nervously. No one yielded.
"SO BE IT!" roared the man. "CANNONS!" The cannons were lighted. The people stepped back involuntarily.
"Be still!" hissed the Queen. "The princess will take care of it."
The fuses burned...burned...burned..
BANG!
"Oops." said Anna softly. "My bad." The men were too busy trying to dodge flying bits of cannon to hear. The people sighed in relief.
"SORCERY! ARE THE PEOPLE OF ARENDELLE SUCH COWARDS THAT THEY USE SORCERY INSTEAD OF FIGHTING LIKE HONORABLE MEN?" shouted the man furiously.
Anna stepped on to the sea. It froze instaneously, creating a pathway for her and Elsa to walk on.
"But we are not men." she said, and her voice carried in the silence. "We are women.
"A SHAM!" shouted the man."WOMEN HAVE NO POWER YOU FOOLISH GIRL!"
"You will adress me as 'your Highness' and you will adress her as 'your Majesty'" said Anna calmly. " Or are the nobility of Hammerfest so uncivilized as not to bow to a lady?"
The man sputtered.
"We're getting nowhere with this." said Elsa softly. "Do it."
Anna waved a hand vaguely. "Have a nice freeze, gentlemen." The sea aroung the fleet froze. The navy, pride of Hammerfest, The conquering country, was stuck in ten feet of solid ice.
"Whoops." said Anna, surveying her handiwork. "Might have overdone it a bit there." She turned away.
Miles away, the trolls were having an emergency meeting. " This is foreordained." said Pabbie. " One will die. We do not interfere."
"But those were nice girls!" wailed Bulda.
" They are strong. They can change their own fate." Pabbie rolled away, strangely like the old minister.
The man drew a crossbow."The Emperor of mighty Hammerfest bows to no one!" he screamed, aimimg the crossbow at Anna's unprotected back. He loosed the arrow.
"No!" cried Elsa desperately. She leapt in front of Anna.
A girl screamed in terror.
Cold...so cold...blue...ice...
