Breakfast was finished, Elsa was happy to have some more time to explore the home. She had gotten to see some in her impromptu exploration the day before. So getting up from the dinning room Elsa had the intention to leave when she heard a knock on the door.
"That's odd" though Elsa as she walked to the foyer and looked through a small peephole on the door to find nobody. Turning she was going to leave only to hear more knocks on the door baffeling her even more when the knocks continued.
Against better judgement Elsa unlocked and opened the door, her eyes widen as she saw what was on the other side. On the otherside was a partially melted snowman.
"Hello, I am Olaf and I like warm hugs" said the snowman, Elsa for a moment wanted to scream startled but calmed herself as she remembered that she had seen stranger things in the Underground kingdom.
"Olaf?" said Elsa unsure, then her eyes widen as she remembered her and Anna's childhood snowman, Olaf must have been that snowman she made for a child yesterday.
"Yes and you made me" said Olaf with a small smile,
"Olaf" said Elsa with a small smile then paused and added "Hold on" she moved her hand and made a snow flurry appear on the head of the snowman to keep him from melting.
"My own winter flurry! Thank you thank you" said Olaf,
"No problem" said Elsa as she allowed Olaf into the house and closed the door behind them,
"Lovely home, I really like the floors" said Olaf as he waddled in,
"Come, lets get a grand tour" said Elsa with a smile, Olaf squealed happily and they together went off to explore the home.
After an hour or so of exploring Elsa realized something, this home like its master was more than what it seemed.
On the outside it looked very much like a traditional costal danish home, but on the inside... its was like a palace...it had many many rooms, hallways, each room had many beautiful furniture and strange objects, probably from other places she had never seen before.
"This is all wonderful!" said Olaf as he went ahead, the hallway they were in was painted a very vivid yellow, soon they saw a single door at the end of the hallway, said door was made entirely out of stain glass, it had a large tree in the middle and flowers on the edges.
"Wonder what is behind this door" though Elsa as she touched a door very carefully as she was afraid to break it before she opened it to reveal a paradise...
There was a large indoor garden on the other side of the door, the garden itself seems to have been inspired by the babylonian hanging garden as it was built as if a pyramid was built upside down and inside out, it was not big but was extremely extraordinary, there was a bunch of stairs leading to different levels which were all different as they had different plants and trees and such, the roof was a huge glass covered roof that allowed plenty of light in, the lower levels had fountains and the very last one had a beautiful lake with a waterfall.
"Wow" said Olaf as he walked in, Elsa followed baffled, carefully walking down the stairs, exploring each level, stopping at a pot which had pretty anemone flowers Olaf smelled them, sighting happy before sneezing causing him to loose his carrot nose.
There was a bunch of laughs and giggles, looking around Elsa saw the wisps came out from different areas of the garden, a group flew over, grabbed and placed the carrot nose back on Olaf.
"Thank you" said Olaf sniffing in relief.
They giggled at that before flying over to Elsa and chiming "Play with us"
"I am sorry but I cannot, maybe some othe-" Elsa was unable to finish as they crowded her.
Elsa yelped as she felt a pull on her hair, her hair came undone as a wisp made off with her hair ribbon.
"Give it back!" said Elsa as she reached to grab it, but they kept it out of her reach by either flying or passing it on to one another.
"Give it back" they chimmed back, imitating her before giggling and running away with Elsa chasing after them.
In the library Hans moved around, browsing the books as he hope to gather some Elsa might like, being chosen as the Firebird meant that he inherited all of the wealth and objects the other Firebirds had gathered in their life time. Several such objects were scrolls and books which were long since gone, the copies of books from the library of Alexandria was one of his possessions, his guess Bak seeing what was to come made sure that he had the copies so the knowledge would never be lost.
Looking over Hans picked some scrolls which had the secrets to better building, he wanted her to have some to help her rule along with those for leisure and entertainment.
Placing the books and scrolls down Hans turned to grab some only to jump back when the will o wisp appeared, reacting faster than Hans did they quickly grabbed his right hand and pulled, managing to get and make off with his glove.
"Hey! Give that back!" yelled Hans as he reached trying to grab his glove,
"Give that back" mimicked the will o wisp,
"I am not playing games!" demanded Hans,
"Catch us!" chirped the will o wisp before flying away with the glove,
"Come back here!" yelled Hans as he ran after her.
"Stop!" yelled Elsa as she chased after the giggling wisps as they lead her up and down and all around the garden.
"Stop!" They mimicked then giggling as they went around keeping the ribbon out of her grasp.
Taking a sharp turn she collided with somebody.
Groaning Elsa turned to get up, only to freeze when she felt fabric and skin. Getting a good look she saw it was Hans.
Both turned red and quickly got up, excusing one another and blindly took the objects that the wisps stole while the wisps themselves were snickering.
"Uhh this is mine" said Elsa as she pointed at the ribbon Hans had.
"Sorry" said Hans as he handed the ribbon over "I do not know what got into them" as he scooped up and put on the glove quickly.
"Why do you wear gloves?" asked Elsa as she placed a lock of her hair behind her ear,
"I... I rather not say, not now..." said Hans softly then added "I like your hair that way",
"Thank you" said Elsa deciding to let that go for now, but she will ask again later on till she gets her answer,
"When will you two kiss?" They heard starteling them,
"Olaf!" Elsa said embarrassed while Hans stared baffled at the talking snowman,
"What? Your both thinking it why not just do it? Just kiss, kissy wheezy" said Olaf making the two grow redder and redder to the point they could not even look at one another.
When they heard something, "I will get the door!" declared Hans as he turned and left quickly.
Running through the halls he thank whoever knocked before opening the door to find it was Sylvia.
"Sylvia?" asked Hans confused as he though she would not talk to him in a while after their last conversation.
"Hans" said Sylvia as she pulled her hood down and moved her hair a bit,
"What are you doing here? Not that I am never happy to see a friend" said Hans rubbing the back of his head,
"I may be mad, but knowing you will not change your mind and fighting is useless so I decided to make peace and help Elsa prepare for a Gala Marius is holding at his home" said Sylvia.
"Help Elsa?" asked Hans suspiciously, but was not able to say anything as Elsa walked over with Olaf the snowman,
"A party? How nice!" said Olaf as he walked over.
Startled Sylvia screamed and kicked Olafs head off by mistake. Luckily it landed on a pillow.
"Sylvia!" said Hans as he walked over and reuinted his head with his body.
"Its fine, nice kick though" said Olaf as he moved and said "Will I go too?",
"I do not know, can he?" said Hans as he turned and looked at Sylvia who though then said "Alright",
"I will go! This is happiest day of my life" cheered Olaf and in his excitement he went to hug Hans only for him to jump back and say "Wow, no Olaf, bad idea",
"Come on its just a hug" said Olaf "How can you not want a hug?",
"I am fire, I can burn things to ashes, I do not want to take chances in melting you Olaf" explained Hans.
Olaf frowned and said "But some people are worth melting for".
Moving a bit Hans sighted and said to change the subject "Any way, Elsa, Olaf, this is Sylvia Arbores, fateweaver of trees, plants and such, we go way back" he gestured to Sylvia, Elsa nodded as she recognized Sylvia and said "Its nice to meet you".
Sylvia grimly nodded and said "Yes, and yes we go back, the stories I can tell you",
"Stories I like stories" said Olaf,
"Then you will love these" said Sylvia with a tight smile "Like the time Hans almost cremated the kitchen, his little picasso disaster back in grade school, such fun",
"Picasso disaster?" asked Elsa confused as she did not know what a Picasso is,
"Hey! They do not need to know that" said Hans turning all red embarrassed.
"Alright fine, since we are running on such short time we best be going" said Sylvia "Come along, we will have much to do and such short time and Hans, Marius and Rohan asked to see you back at the edge of town".
With that the group left, "I must ask where did you get that remarkable snowman?",
"I made him" said Elsa.
Watching them go Hans could not help but feel worried, he wanted to trust Sylvia would not hurt, but could not help but feel like she will, so with unsureness Hans too left to meet up with Rohan and Marius.
Arriving to a shopping district Elsa looked around the bustling area as she followed Sylvia to a clothing store, inside all of the dresses on display were quite fantasical, almost too good to be true.
"Since the gala is a masked ball all of us will be wearing costumes" explained Sylvia as she looked around. For a moment Elsa detected a slight cold tone in her voice towards her.
"Oh how can I choose? Their all so beautiful" said Elsa hoping she had heard wrong,
"Well usually the ones we pick describes us in a certain way" said Sylvia "For myself I will go as a peach blossom tree? Their graceful and beautiful" as she gestured a dress which the top was brown, had ruffles and beautiful pink and peach color flowers embroidered on it,
"Its beautiful" said Elsa with a small smile then asked "What do you suggest for me to wear?" soon she regretted it when Sylvia said "A horse" and pulled out a less than appealing dress.
"Well its uhh unusual" said Elsa trying to be polite,
"Humm your right" said Sylvia as she put it back then rummaging through the clothes she pulled out another even worse than the last.
"A mule would fit you quite nicely" said Sylvia.
Elsa said nothing as she stared, the hostility Sylvia had for her was shown very clearly there.
"Oh don't give me that innocent look, you know what you did" said Sylvia "Quite frankly I do not know what Hans is thinking, out of all the people; Why you? A sorry excuse of a Solberg, do us all a favor and go home for your not wanted or welcomed here; Stay away from Hans, for you may have fooled him, but not us, we know you just want power like your ancestors before you" with that she turned her back and left.
"That's not true!" said Elsa baffled, she knew Sylvia would not be welcome as Hans had warned her, but hoped to change her mind,
"Oh really? Well I am not taking chances, I will not let Hans doom us all because of you" growled Sylvia "Go home before I make you" with that she turned and left leaving Elsa alone to think.
"Elsa" said Olaf who walked into the store to check on Elsa and Sylvia, saying nothing Elsa turned and left,
"Elsa?" said Olaf worried as he followed her worried.
Night arrived to the Underground Kingdom, the gates were opened and people all swarmed into the gardens to go to Marius party. As the guest entered wearing their finest clothes, which everybody in the underground had the finest and beautiful of everything, even the lower class citizens had beautiful and fine clothes, homes and had wonderful food, so there was no excuse to look frumpy especially when it comes to parties, especially when knowing that the Fateweavers would be there.
One such being Hans who was waiting outside of Marius home while the party was starting, moving around he stopped every now and then to look at his pocket watch.
"I am sure she will be over, just be patient" said Marius as he was dressed like a knight, his armor was very stylish with many designs, it shone as it was polished silver and the gold glittered as if it was like magic.
"Ya" said Rohan as he looked on, he wore a viking costume, it was leather and fur, he could pass off as a chief or Odin himself.
"Something wrong?" asked Hans as it was not like Rohan to be like this.
"Its Sylvia, she is... pretty mad about...you know" said Rohan,
"Oh" said Hans as he easily guessed,
"Ya, I mean I can tell Elsa is a nice girl and all, but can you blame Sylvia and the rest of us for being worried" Marius said "After all the balance of the world and peoples safety is our priority and with what happened in the past...",
"I know, but just give Elsa a chance, I promise you the past will not repeat itself" said Hans softly, he could understand their worries, but he wished they trust him and his decision "Maybe after this party they might get to know Elsa better" though Hans as he did Sylvia walked over, but neither Elsa or Olaf were there.
"Sylvia, where is Elsa?" said Hans a bit of a stern tone coming to his voice.
"Elsa? She is not coming?" said Sylvia dismissingly,
"What did you do?" demanded Hans as he guessed something happened,
"I just said what I had to say" said Sylvia crossing her arms.
"Sylvia!" said Rohan shocked knowing what she would have said,
"What? Its the truth!" snapped Sylvia,
"Sylvia I am going to put a stop to this! You have no right!" snapped Hans,
"I am calling it as it is! You cannot afford to take such chances with a woman who might as well doom you!" snapped Sylvia,
"You have no right! Its my choice not yours to make!" growled Hans as he turned and left,
"Your kidding me, your going to choose that loose woman" said Sylvia outraged.
It was the wrong thing to say, turning Hans gave Sylvia the angriest look she had ever seen him give her "Don't ever call her that again" Hans warned before leaving while Rohan and Marius stared shocked, they knew Sylvia was coming from a good place but she had no right to do what she did.
Sitting down on her bed Elsa muled over her options, she could go back to Arendelle, it was clear that she was not welcomed there and the Fateweavers, specifically Sylvia made sure that she knew that. But she could not, not yet, if she left she would be a proving her bad intentions.
"What to do?" though Elsa when she heard a knock.
For a moment she wondered if it was Olaf, if it was she was glad as she needed somebody to talk to, so getting up from bed Elsa walked over to the door and opened it only to be surprised to find Hans on the other side. He was dressed in finery as he was ready for the Gala, but because she was not there he looked quite disappointed and crossed his arms before saying "Why are you not ready?",
"Oh... I though you changed your mind about having me there" said Elsa looking away trying to hide her hurt,
"If I did I would have told you myself" said Hans, he reached and placed a hand gently on the side of her head then added "I am sorry about Sylvia, she is wrong and her words were false",
"It was nothing, nothing happened" said Elsa, she did not want to cause trouble between Hans and his friends,
"Regardless what she said was wrong and for her behavior I apologize" said Hans gently,
"No need, I had it coming... my family" said Elsa sadly.
"You did not, stop thinking about it" said Hans shaking his head "Your innocent of your families crimes", Elsa sighted and pressed her head against his hand.
After a while Hans said "Since were not going to the Gala, how's about I take you somewhere else?",
"Where?" asked Elsa,
"You will see" said Hans mysteriously.
Authors note: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Sylvia does come out as mean, but she is scared of what can happen, sadly she is going about it the wrong way. Any way hope you stay tuned for the next chapter and please leave a review to tell me what you think.
