Kristoffer Aeolius Driscoll (Human Form) / Kristoff POV

It is already 4:00 in morning but it was still dark as I felt the sweet autumn air blew a cold breeze against my skin. I am currently up in the roof top thinking of the plan we have talked about last night while I stared at the horizon as twilight eliminate the skies.

-FLASH BACK-

Papers were scattered at Hiccup's codo-room table as we check and finalized the every detail the report I need to do and to convince the crown prince.

"Okay, so that is about it. That is the plan?"

"Yes, Flynn. After Kristoff reports about status in the mission to the royals, he needs to ask a private audience with the crown prince and convince the prince to help us, after all we do have a little bit of a lead who the last maiden might be." Hiccup pointed out while sipping a cup of his coffee.

"I know for sure that the lead of knowing the last maiden might spark the prince's interest since she is the most closes to him of all his sisters but what if he don't?" Flynn asked.

"Then Kristoff will go with plan B." Jack said with a 'duh' tone.

"And that is?" I said raising an eye brow at him while I cross my arms to my chest. He evilly smirk and finally said,

"You spy on him."

-END OF FLASHBACK-

I thought about what we have discussed last night. Plan A is simpler said than done. Talking to the crown prince of Lunaoff will be difficult and the idea of convincing him will be 3 times harder but it was the most moral thing to do than to do plan B. I know I have the powers and capability to spy on the prince and get the information we needed but still it is not right. But like these are desperate times, we need the Gazer to know if the girl, Elsa is really is the Maiden of Winter.

I really have a lot in my mind and I am really sorry I am not able to tell you who I am. My real name is Kristoff Bjorgman but my friends call me Kris or just plain Kristoff. In the mortal world I am known as Kristoffer Aeolius Driscoll, which is think is very neat considering my real name is a bit boring. In school, I am known as the "The Jock" since I love all kinds of sports and I am the captain or co-captain of majority of the clubs I joined in. I am also a part of the group called "The Knights" which we are also well known as the "Big4". A title that our little group acquired during our stay at DreamWaltz Academy. You might be wondering why I am in the Mortal Realm, to tell you honestly I was formerly the messenger of the Immortal Realms, which to tell you is kinda lame and not as dangerous as my current job right now but due to my abilities I was chosen by Tsar Lunar XII (aka Manny or Man in the Moon) to be one of seekers to find the lost Princesses of Lunaoff (aka Maidens of Seasons). I could manipulate and control the element of the Winds. Aside of my given powers, I have the ability to be invisible at will and a rare ability to walk through walls. Like Flynn, I was given the code name "The Messenger" due to my former job which I still do even if I am in my Seeker duty. Right now I am going to the Realm of the Moon, the Kingdom of Lunaoff to report to the king himself and his son about the progress that we have so far. And one of the steps I have to take is gaining a privilege to have a private audience to the Crown Prince. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and finally spoke to my comrades.

"What if plan B fails?"

"We will go to plan C, and that I promise you won't be pleasant" Jack in monotone voice.

I opened my eyes again and turned to him due to his response. I saw his silvery-grey eyes glint darkly that sent shivers down my spine. I know for the fact that Jack will be planning to kidnap the prince and force him to help us with this. Like I have said earlier these are desperate times, and desperate times comes with desperate measures. We seekers are willing to go through Jack's plan even though I and Hiccup don't agree on it. It has been 11 years since we started looking for them and the search has been emotionally draining especially to Jack. I don't blame him if he act so obsess about finding the last maiden as long as we found her, we could all move on. I just sigh to the thought.

"I hope we don't have to do plan C." I finally said hoping it will never happen.

"We hope so too but if our plan A and plan B doesn't work we don't have any other choice." Flynn pointed out.

"Kris, just worry about plan A if that doesn't work then plan B. Don't worry about plan C yet, okay?" Hiccup eased as he tap my back and I nodded.

"Do you have anything that you need?" Flynn asked.

"Yes, got 2 snow globes, the wishing pouch, some extra clothes and other stuff I needed. So I guess, I am ready to go."

"Good luck buddy." Hiccup said while he tapped me again on the back.

"Thanks. I will really need it."

"Heads up!" Jack instantly said making me look at him as he throws me 1 extra snow globe and easily catch it.

"What is this for?" I asked him as I eyed him confusingly.

"Extra one just in case you wish to visit your Realm." He simply said while he smirks at me. The gesture was simple but it really made me give him a huge smile.

"Thanks."

"Kindly check on Toothless for me." Hiccup requested.

"Also Maximus, although I know that horse could take care of himself." Flynn sarcastically said at last part that made us all chuckle.

"Okay, I will." I said to both Hiccup and Flynn.

I close my eyes as I feel myself transform back to my spirit self. It feels so good to be back in my original form even though it seems like very complicated if you do that in the mortal world. I looked back my comrades and smiled at them which they returned.

Again, I turned my back from them and face west as I saw the first light of dawn lighting the horizon. I took the snow globe at hand and place it near my lips as I whisper the location I wanted to go. I threw the snow globe a little higher from me and a portal appeared in front of us. I flew to the direction of the portal before glancing back at my friend and wave at them.

"Alright, time for me to go."

"Good luck!" They all said in union.

'Luck, which I really need right now.' I thought to myself as I entered the portal.


The twirling vortex of it stopped as I stepped out of the threshold, floating to a familiar sight. I took a deep breath as I smelled the fresh air of this Realm that I missed so much. I joined the wind as I flew and did some flips in the air making me excited and free of the burdens being a Seeker. It has been a long time since I last visited here since the only travel I do to the Immortal Realms is go to Realm of the Moon and back to the Mortal world but now that I am in my own realm I felt really free and alive. Don't get me wrong, being human is fun but it has its own restrictions since we get tired easily when I am in my human form and use my powers, it is very hard and plus you are unable to see your love ones. But who am I to complain? I love the human world and the things it offers and it is actually a privilege to be seen by humans without them needing to believe in me. A huge smile formed to my face as I glanced to the familiar valley I see from afar.

Realm of Paracelsya, also known as The Realm of the Elementals is really a sight to see. My realm, I mean me, Hiccup's and Flynn's realm is divided into 4 major Elemental Elements of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. And each one has its own element and major kingdom. The original Country I am from is the country of Syplhia which is from the East of our realm since I am a wind elemental but I call the country of Gnomigion my home since my adopted parents are Earth Elementals. I know, it is a bit bewildering but you will know soon enough. I finally landed to my destination as I see all the rocks from the valley that I greatly miss.

"I am home!" I said out loud as the rocks started to rumble and roll towards me. It looks as though they'll crush me on place until I heard a familiar voice ecstatically yelled at the back.

"Kristoff's home!"

"Kristoff! Kristoff's home! It's been too long! Kristoff's home!" everyone cheered in chorus.

When I turned around I saw small, stone skin rock trolls that are wearing a cloak made of moss with crystals decorated throughout their necks. But the one that caught my eye is a woman troll wearing red crystal necklace, I went down to her level and saw her black eyes glint with happiness as she excitedly gave me a warm hug welcoming me back. I did not hesitate to return the hug back to her even though I could feel her breath from my neck coming from her large nose. I just miss her so much that I don't want to let go. There are a lot who cheered on my returned but I did not care, I am just glad to hold her to my embrace not even bothering the cheers around us.

"Mom. Yes, I am home."

"You finally staying, yes? Kristoff?" She asked filled with hope breaking the embrace but I just shake my head in disagreement. She gave me a sad smile of understanding. Even she isn't my real mother and we are not the same elemental species she still adopted me and treated me as her own kid. I just smiled at the thought of it and looked at everyone who are trying to get my attention.

"Oh, lemme look at you!" a troll said as he checked on my face while I chuckled.

"Oh, take off your clothes, Kristoff, I wash them." the other female troll said as she tried to take off my pants.

"Ah! No. I'm gonna keep my clothes on, thank you." I told her while trying to stand up and full my pants back on.

"Great to see you all. Where's grandpapi?"

"He's napping. But look, I grew a mushroom." a kid troll with a mushroom said.

"And I earned my fire crystal." said the other holding the crystal over to me to see.

"I passed a kidney stone." the older troll said which made me look at him weirdly.

"Pick me up." a kid troll jumps to my arm making me startled and sink under the ground because of his weight.

"Whoo, whoo, easy kid... wait, where is Sven?"

"He is in the stables with his majesties dragon, Toothless and Maximus." A familiar troll said.

"Thanks, dad. I need to visit them."

I walked going to the stables followed by my mother troll whose name is Bulda and my father troll, Cliff.

"So, how long will you be staying?" my adopted father asked me.

"Just this day, I guess. I still need to go to the Realm of the Moon and report the progress of the search."

"Oh, oh! Kristoff I will cook your favorite." my adopted mother happily said as she rolls off and I smiled as I watch her roll away.

"It seems something is bothering you." I looked at my adopted father Cliff and nodded.

"That is why I am here as well, I need to ask some advice from grandpapi about this. But I will visit Sven first and the other Seekers' companions."

"I see. Well, if something is bothering you grandpapi will surely help you with this. He is very wise, you know. As old as time itself."

Our walk to the stables has been silent until I heard a familiar sound of a reindeer running towards me and tackled me in the process.

"Hey, hey, hey! How are you buddy?"

"Fine. Are you going to stay?" Sven said as I mimic his voice.

"No, buddy. But I miss you though." I told him as I pet his head.

"I miss you too." I told my pet reindeer as he gave me a puppy dog eyes. To tell you honestly, I don't know if reindeers could do that but what the heck, Sven is doing it already.

"What do you want, Sven?" I asked as I lean to him.

"Give me a snack."

"What's the magic word?"

"Please!"

I pulled out a carrot out of my shirt pocket and hands it over to him while he tries to instantly bite the whole thing.

"Hey, hey, hey! Share!"

Sven took a smaller bite and I took a bite of the carrot as well not really caring that it's already covered in reindeer slobber. My eyes widen as a black dragon with green eyes pounce on me and while a cream colored horse galloped towards where I am.

"Easy guys." I chuckled as I tried to get off the dragon. Which I failed miserably since Maximus, Flynn's horse also tried to tackle me. After a rough 30 minutes I was able to get off Toothless and Max

Using the magical pouch I have, I handed a bag of red apples to Flynn's horse, Maximus while I hand a basket of fish to Hiccup's dragon, Toothless. If you are asking how I pull out a basket fishes and a big bag of apples from the small pouch that will be a secret... lol

"So it was true that my grandson is already home."

I smiled to the voice and instantly turn around as I saw a very old troll that is slightly taller than my adoptive parents. He has grassy green hair, with much larger nose than my adoptive parents have. His neck was decorated with green and yellow crystals that complimented the moss cape he has on his back.

Pabbie, also known as grandpapi in our troll tribe is the most wises troll I known. If I will be needing advises or answers, he will be the right person to talk to. Which I am kinda grateful of since we are sort of related.

My father excused himself and left me and grandpapi alone. The old troll gestured me to follow him and we both left the stables.

"Does the other Seekers know that you went here?" my adopted grandfather suddenly asked, I nervously rub the back of my neck, unable to answer.

"I figured they don't."

"Well..." I started to trail off, "they do know that I will go here but not do a detour. Well, what I mean is I should go first to the Realm of the Moon and be here later but I need to be here first because I have to ask something... it is actually more of an advice."

"Oh I see, what seems bothering you my child?"

"We found a girl that we, Seekers think that might be the Maiden of Winter"

"That is great news..." my grandpapi trailed off as if sensing so something is wrong, "what is the matter then my child? You must be celebrating."

"Well, the thing is we need the help of a Gazer to determine if she really is the maiden..."

"But you are contemplating if the crown prince will help you with the gazer." Grandpapi finished for me and I nodded... he sigh and continues.

"You are asking advise on something you already know the answer to..."

"I know, grandpapi." I quickly cut him off, "but the crown prince might reject the request since he was over protective of the Gazer. The last time she help us locate the maiden of autumn, the gazer was attacked and almost died. And if the crown prince won't cooperate with us we might be force to do drastic measures."

"My boy, you will never know if you haven't tried yet." He reasoned but I still gave him unsure look.

As if sensing my distress, the old troll chuckled and asked me to lower myself to his level. I obediently did his request as I could see his brown-black eyes look at my hazel-brown orbs

"There are some sacrifices that needs to be done in order to do the right thing. Breaking morals could be the sacrifice but bringing back a much greater good will be the out most importance." He told me as he gave me a warm smile. "It might be hard for you since crown prince of Lunaoff could be intimidating but I know he will see reason. He will want his sisters found and safe. Especially, the maiden of winter."

What he told me gave a smile to my face, warmth of reassurance and a glint of hope that I might not fail on the task at hand.

All I need to do now is face the crown prince and let him hear reason.

It might be a hard task for me to do but I am sure now that I will have the confidence and a little bit of hope to face what lays ahead.


Author's Note:

Hello! My dear snowballs and snowflakes,

I have finally updated again after a 3 months. I finally posted chapter 6 which has 3046 words and with Kristoff POV, [(A.N. not included) I know I am not really proud of myself right now]. I am sorry I was not able to update for so long due that I have been very busy with my job, [which is really very stressful right now] and being a single parent to my 2 year old son. Not to mention I've got hospitalized 2 weeks ago. I hope you guys will forgive me for this.

By the way, I really appreciate your comments and your concern about this book, I really felt like somebody really enjoys reading what I've created and it really makes me happy. So, to all who commented (you know who you are), I thank you all very much! You all really did put a smile on my face. Also I am very happy to learn that this book had 812 reads! Wow! Never in my life would I assumed that they will read this and would love to add this to their library. I am really thankful to you guys. I really appreciate it.

Anyways, going back to the story. I will have to set your expectations that I might do a slow update on this book since I still have loads to do but don't worry, I will try to update once I can. I am just still on the process of writing chapter 7 and 8 which have a lot of Jelsa and a few Merricup moment as well. I know that I haven't done other ships yet but Jelsa and Merricup is kinda easy ship to do.

Now going back to the story, I have added some beloved characters from Frozen like Kristoff's troll family [I hope I was able to capture their essence on my book] and also a glimpse of Kristoff, Hiccup and Flynn's realm which is called the Realm of Paracelsya, also known as The Realm of the Elementals. I was not able to fully describe the realm but I hope you guys will be able to imagine that the realm is breath taking. Also, I have posted Kristoff POV which kinda took a while since for me Kristoff seems like a very difficult character to make POV with, I don't know why but he is just is for me. I hope I was able to capture what Kristoff really is. Don't get me wrong, it is very hard to write a guy's POV especially if you are a girl. You need to check their characters first before you put some emotion and feelings to them so they won't look like they are gay or something in your book. Lol

Anywho, I hope you guys liked this chapter, I know it is not as long as the last time but it is still a thousand words.

Again, your comments, likes and votes are greatly appreciated. Let me know what you think. Also I will respect any of your opinions and healthy criticism on the comment section as long as it is not over the top.

Hoped you all will love this chapter and the next.

TTFN! [Tata for now!]

Xoxo
