Anyway, Read and review! The more reviews, the faster I upload!
WINTER'S HEART – by Lonely God
The Ice Queen
Queen Elsa looked down at Arendelle from the mountain. She was leaning back on an ice chair she had made at the Ice Palace she had also made. Some people had been a little worried when she announced that she was going to the mountain, and to the palace she had made when she ran away, but Anna and Kristoff understood her need to get away. Kristoff had even taken her up on his sled on his way past the mountain.
It wasn't all the time, but every week or two, she just felt the pressure, and she climbed the mountain and stayed in her Ice Palace for a day or two. Anna was able to keep an eye on Arendelle – as much as she hated it – while Elsa took her break. Some signal towers had even been built, with fires prepared, so Anna had a way to contact Elsa in the event of an emergency.
Earlier that day, Elsa had seen the flying sleigh appear in mid-air and a line of frost go over the fjords, and had watched for the signal. Nothing happened though, and the sleigh soon left and the ice melted, so Elsa assumed that Anna had handled it.
Now she reclined back, a glass of chilled champagne in her hand, and smiled as the setting sun sent its rays across the world. It cast a red-gold glow across the water, and then to her Palace. The light that struck the spiralling ice was broken up into a million rainbows, brought back together by more ice, and then broken again. It also turned the ice into pillars of red and gold, glowing with the sun's last light of the day. It always managed to calm Elsa, although she wasn't quite sure why.
She stayed up there for the rest of the night, before packing her stuff and walking to the massive, spiral ice path she had made. Elsa simply stood on it, and began to slide down, she powers allowing her to stay on it without any problems, and it was always a thrill. It took her down all the way to the city, and she just walked back to the Citadel. People greeted her kindly as she passed, sometimes a woman ran up and asked Elsa to bless a child. She was always happy to do it, especially since it was better to be loved than feared. A young boy, probably only around ten years old, ran up and held out a small bouquet of flowers for her. Elsa smiled and knelt down to kiss him on the cheek. He blushed and backed away laughing and waving farewell to her. She walked through the gates of the Citadel, and quickly went to Anna's chambers. She used the same knock that Anna had always used when they were younger, and called out.
"Do you wanna build a snowman?"
The door was opened by a smiling Anna, who grabbed her elder sister in a tight embrace. Elsa laughed and returned the hug. Anna led Elsa inside and went through the list of things that the queen would have to go through.
"Also, there is a young man here with ice powers." Anna said.
"I thought I noticed the fjords freezing over for that sleigh. Was there a man named North?"
Anna was surprised. "How did you know that?"
"I met him, many years ago. Before mother and father died, I was introduced to a man named North, who was a leader of a group called the Guardians. I was told not to speak of it, unless it was required. They said that there will likely be no interaction between us, but they could travel to our world, and vice versa, through powerful magic. Although I don't recall any of them saying anything about ice powers."
Anna shook her head "It wasn't North who had the powers, he left. It was a young man named Jack Frost. He is staying in one of the guest suites, although I asked the guards to keep an eye on him."
"That won't be necessary. They were all to be trusted completely, mother and father said. Perhaps you would like to come and introduce me to this Jack Frost?"
Anna frowned a little at that. "Oh. Okay then."
Elsa noticed the frown and the disappointed tone. "What's the matter? Did you have something planned?"
Anna nodded. "Kristoff was going to take me for a picnic."
"Then I will find Jack Frost on my own." Elsa laughed, hugging Anna. "I would hate to pull you away from your plans."
The two young women moved on to idle chatter for a small time, before Elsa declared that she would talk to Jack, and that Anna needed to get ready for her picnic.
So just a small chapter there, framing the story and giving a bit of background. Trying to decide through many different ideas floating around in my head. Next chapter will have them meeting, and yeah… So Review!
AUTHOR'S NOTE! This story WILL have an M-rated chapter between Jack and Elsa posted as a separate story when it's done. I will put in a note on the chapter after it to let those who want to read it know that it's there. It will not be entirely important to the story, and any plot points that happen during it will be pointed out in the chapter after it. Read it if you want, don't read it if you want, just keep up with this one and we'll get along fine =)
