"Alright that's enough," Pabbie jokingly chides, shooing away the trolls pestering me, chuckling along with them as they back away for him to approach me, both of us locking smiles with each other. "My dear Kendra, I will do all that I can to help you learn to control your powers, but it's not going to be easy to do."

The smile leaves my face for a look of inquiry. "How so?"

"Well, it's...complicated..." The elder troll scratches the side of his face, right above his chin and below where his cheekbones would be. Do rock trolls even have bones? Anyways, he lets out a sound of contemplation, before continuing to speak. "There really isn't any way to explain with words. Just like with Elsa's magic, despite the fact that it's tied to her emotions, there's no way to verbalize just how she executes her talents." Elsa stands beside me as she's brought into conversation, sharing a knowing smile with me as we understand his words, agreeing with them fully.

I turn back to Pabbie, now wondering just how he's going to help me control my powers, without being able to explain to me how they even work. "So how are you going to help me understand my new powers, Pabbie?"

As if the answer was obvious, Pabbie merely smiles, a twinkle in his dark eyes. "I'll attempt to show you with my own magic, or at least help your magic merge more naturally with your own natural instincts." After a moment of silence, the look on my face makes him add, "Does that make any sense?"

I snort slightly with a confused smile. "Not really, but then again nothing makes sense anymore." I laugh as I feel myself being nudged by Elsa, who gives me a slightly scolding smile, almost looking mischievous, but she says nothing as I shrug at her with "What?"

Pabbie steps over to a rock and motions for me to follow. I do so as he steps atop it, allowing himself to stand more along my level than before. "I'll do what I can to show you, unless you'd like to try to feel your magic for yourself first."

This actually piques my interest as my right eyebrow perks up slightly. "As in, go ahead and try my own thing? See if I can get a feel of my magic without you trying to show me how?"

The troll nods, that warm smile never leaving his face. "If you wish to experiment first, then you may go ahead."

I turn to grin excitedly at Elsa, feeling quite nervous, but she speaks the right words to encourage me. "You can do it; I have faith in you."

So with that, I take a deep breath, and start to search inside myself for anything new. Truth is, I do feel slightly different, but I can't exactly explain how or why. I close my eyes as I reach further inside, finding the new, sudden ball of warmth and trying to figure out how to grasp it. I barely notice as my hair starts to move, ever so slightly, as if in a light breeze. Passing it off as just that, a wintry breeze, I keep trying to focus, not really sure what I'm supposed to do, or what's supposed to be happening, so I keep trying different things, though it seems like I'm just standing still.

Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing, my mind thinking of different things to try, wondering why my hair is waving more. I start to feel my clothes actually starting to move, so there must be one heck of a wind blowing. Yet...if that is the case, then why doesn't it feel colder? Actually, I feel like a weird wind is swirling all around me, and it's only then that I hear a familiar voice emit a soft gasp.

I finally open my eyes, and see Pabbie staring at me in awe. Wondering why Elsa gasped, I turn back to her, only for my hair to tickle my face. It's only then that I start to notice all the dirt and dust in the air, and my breath catches in my throat as I see that it really is swirling around me, almost drawn to me like a magnet. I turn back to Pabbie as I feel something odd slowly building inside me, and actually give him a giddy grin as I notice what it seems like. "Oh my god, I feel like I'm in Dragon Ball Z or something! Like, when Gohan was trying to teach Videl how to control her energy, and fly!"

Pabbie merely chuckles at my nerd talk. "Yes well, though I have no idea what you're referring to, it most likely has to do with the Aesir connecting to your world, and desiring control of all worlds." He takes my hands in his, and I feel his magic mingling with mine again. I suddenly start filling with even more sensations, understanding and familiarity, and even more growing power. The air around me swirls even more, my black hair now flying all over the place, my clothes protesting this new aura, and I now understand that it is my magic, as Pabbie uses more of his magic to somehow familiarize myself with my own.

After a moment however, Pabbie's eyes open and lock on mine, looking quite alarmed. "Kendra, you must get your powers under control!"

"Huh?"

"Your powers! You must cease them, or else you will exhaust yourself to your very limit!"

His words confuse me, but I merely nod with understanding. "Ok." I start to feel for a way to do just that, trying to will my magic to stop, but it doesn't. I frown slightly as I focus even more, and I notice with a sudden wave of fear that my powers just keep climbing, more and more leaves beginning to spin around me as well. I try to focus even more, but can't help but gaze at Pabbie with terrified eyes as I accept that I really have no idea what to do. But the look on his face doesn't help me feel better.

"Kendra, there really isn't much else that I can do. I cannot control your powers for you, nor do I know what to tell you, other than you must focus hard, use your emotions, your willpower. You must learn this!"

I actually emit a slight whimper of fear as I realize that I'm on my own, and I'm becoming more and more frightened as the situation sinks in. Pabbie awakened my powers, and tried to somehow show me how to work them, but he can't help me stop them, and I don't know how. It's only when I feel a pair of hands gripping my shoulders to spin me around that I really see how scared I am. I can see it in Elsa's eyes, though she's trying to look strong as she locks her blue eyes with my dark green eyes. Her own hair is swirling in my wind, a few strands trying so hard to break free from her braid, as it also waves in the air behind her. I can see the terror in her own eyes, but I can tell it's nowhere near my own.

"Kendra, the key to controlling my powers, to stopping the winter, was love. Your powers are a result of your own love; that is your power. Try to use that to cease this...whirlwind of power." I try to keep my heavy breathing from becoming hyperventilation, still unsure of what to do. "Try to think of something happy, something you love; find it, and focus on it. I don't know if it is the key to your powers too, but it's worth a shot...!"

I swallow down a sudden thick lump in my throat, nodding at her words, realizing that she has a point. I try to focus on her, and though the wind doesn't die down, I sense something odd inside me. After a few moments, I realize that I should try something else. Despite how much I care for Elsa, I just...haven't known her long enough to have the required level of love. I mean, I do love her, a lot, she's a dear friend and my new sister... But if I need to focus on something I love in order to stop this sudden flood of my new powers, I'm gonna have to find something more.

It's then that realization slaps me in the face. I smile as I close my eyes, picturing my beloved Chihuahua back home. My dear, sweet, Tiny girl. I picture her soft fur, her brown and white coloration, her gorgeous eyes and face, her sweet disposition, and then suddenly feel a pang in my chest.

The Aesir...if they win...if they manage to succeed...then my world will belong to them... Tiny will be in trouble... She will no longer be safe, and I don't know what would happen to her... To my parents... My friends... My family...

I can't allow them to win. I have to stop them! I won't allow my precious dog that I've had for nearly 15 years to live out her final days under the evil rule of such dark forces. I won't allow anyone to fall to them! I'll protect my world, save Arendelle, and stop the Aesir!

"Kendra stop!"

My eyes fly open, locking with Elsa's. I take note of the grin on her face, her motionless hair, and tilt my head slightly. My clothes, they aren't moving anymore. Heck, even my hair is lying still now, just like hers. She can practically see as the thoughts and emotions flash across my eyes, nodding as she sees the realization sink in for me.

"Elsa...it stopped..." My own voice is a breath of impressed shock, a smile slowly creeping onto my face as she nods again, gripping my shoulders tighter as her grin widens.

"You did it! You controlled your powers!"

"Yes, though she experienced several emotions," Pabbie adds, now standing beside us as we gaze down at him. The look on his face is serious, catching the two of us off guard. "Kendra, I sensed love, intense devotion and dedication, loyalty, and a desire to protect, along with anger. To be honest, I'm not sure which of these your magic reacted to. And sadly, there isn't much else that I can do for you."

I actually exchange a slightly worried glance with Elsa, before smiling back down at the troll. "That's ok Pabbie, I'm still very grateful for all you've done. I'll try to be more careful from here on out, and I'll work hard to learn how to control my powers." Elsa wraps her arm around my shoulders with a reassuring squeeze, and we share a smile before looking back to Pabbie. "With Elsa's help, I know I'll get it, and with the help you've given too of course."

He looks a little taken aback, before closing his eyes with a smirk. "You truly are amazing, my dear." He opens his eyes again, reaching up to take Elsa's remaining hand, and one of mine. "I have no doubts, that the two of you will make great progress in training and preparations, and that all will be saved. But now you must return to Arendelle, while you can still make it before nightfall."

At his words, several trolls approach us with the same horse we rode here on, its reins somehow in their hands, despite how short they are. This is only possible due to them standing atop each other like a totem pole. Elsa thanks them as she takes the reins, while I notice another troll carrying both of our cloaks. I immediately recognize her as Bulda, Kristoff's adopted troll mother.

"Here you go dear, we don't want you catching a cold on your way home."

I chuckle as I take the cloaks from her, handing Elsa's to her so she can wrap it around herself. "Thanks Bulda. You truly are an amazing mother figure." I somehow kneel down to share a hug with her, feeling an odd spark of a connection with her. I figure it's my powers, but she must've felt it too, because she giggles when we break apart.

"Ooh that's indeed some interesting magic you got there! I just know you'll do us proud." The confident grin on her face as she pats my hands makes me blush sheepishly.

"Thanks Bulda, I'll do my best."

I stand back up as I don my own cloak, Elsa having already climbed atop her horse. The trolls have rolled themselves up to act like stairs to the horse, making it easier for me to climb on behind her. It's a simple departure as we all exchange words of farewell, as Elsa turns the horse around to face our exit path. We wave to the trolls, our own resolves replenished as the horse walks along. Elsa and I share a smirk with each other, and as I tighten my grip around her waist, she urges the horse to break into a gallop, leading us home to Arendelle.
