Zoe stumbled into the Council Room, sobbing. Pythor and the other dignitaries saw her and grabbed her a chair.
"What happened?" Pythor asked.
She didn't speak for a moment, and when she did her voice was filled with grief and sorrow.
"Prince Jay... he, he's dead!"
"What happened to him?"
"He was killed by his own brother, he froze his heart, and nothing could stop it." Zoe cried. After pausing briefly, she looked down at the ground. "At least we got to say our marriage vows... before he died in my arms."
Zoe's display of grief had brought some of the other dignitaries to tears.
"Zane is a monster that must be stopped." Commanded Pythor. "Arendelle looks to you, Princess Zoe."
She sighed, and then began to speak. "With a heavy heart, I charge King Zane of Arendelle with treason, and sentence him to death."
She and two other guards got up and walked to the prison. Just think, in a few moments after the king is dead the winter will end, and I will have my throne, thought Zoe. Soon everything would be perfect. Before she reached the door in front of Zane's prison cell she stopped.
"On the count of three." She ordered. "One... two... three!"
On three they burst through the door, only to discover that the walls to the prison had collapsed, and Zane was gone!
Nya trudged on through the mountains. Flame lagged behind, too tired to go any faster. Suddenly he tugged at Nya's sleeve, and tried to pull her back to the palace.
"What's wrong Flame?"
Flame tried to turn Nya around.
"No!" She yelled. "We're not going back Flame, he's with his true love!"
Flame still tried to drag her back. Just then Nya saw the violent winter storm that was swirling over the castle. Without hesitating, she jumped on Flame and rushed back to the palace.
"Help." Jay leaned against the door, and to her amazement the handle started jiggling.
With a click the door swung open and in stepped Dareth.
"So, where's Zoe? What happened to your kiss?" He asked.
"I was wrong about her." Said Jay, lying on the ground. "It wasn't true love. You should leave, and go back to Zane."
"No! I'm not leaving until we find your true love to unfreeze you! Do you happen to have any ideas?"
Jay looked at him and gave him a sad laugh. "I don't even know what love is anymore."
"That's okay, i'm a love expert. Love is putting else's needs before yours, like, you know how Nya brought you here to Zoe and left you forever."
"Zoe loves me!" Jay gasped.
"Yeah, you can probably still see her leaving." Dareth walked up to the window, but instead of seeing Nya and Flame leaving, they were coming back!
"It's Nya and Flame, they're coming this way! I guess she didn't love you enough to leave you behind."
Jay frantically stumbled across the room to the widow.
"You have to get me to her." He said as he pulled the window open.
Jay ran out the window and into the storm with Dareth. He had to get to Nya, he had to. With every step her forced his way through the storm. He reached the frozen fjord, and called out to Nya at the top of his lungs.
"Nya!"
He was turning to ice, he could feel it! He could see Nya, just a little bit farther off. She was also running as fast as she could. Jay suddenly heard a voice.
"Your brother is dead because of you!" Zoe yelled at Zane.
Jay saw Zane drop to his knees in grief and sadness. Jay turned to see Nya, almost to him.
"Nya." He whispered.
Nya began running even faster, she was going to make it! But then Jay heard the clink of a sword being drawn out. When he looked behind him, Zoe was advancing toward Zane, sword drawn, about to behead him. Jay looked at Nya, then at Zane. He made up his mind. Using all of his strength he ran to Zane.
"NO!" Right before Zoe brought down the sword on Zane, Jay threw himself between the weapon and his brother.
