Chapter 3:Long live Albert
As you were reaching Arendelle,Albert grabbed your jacket,"Once I die,use….radio..help.." Suddenly,he started to hyperventilate and gave a long exhale.
"What?!NO!" you screamed,as you see your friend grew pale looking towards the sky,speechless. As Elsa heard you,she immediately stopped and dismounted to see what's going on. She saw you on the sled shedding tears at Albert which was already dead. She then sheds a tear having to feel the pain of losing someone that means a lot to you. "Come on [Y/N],let's go somewhere else before heading to the city," Elsa said looking towards your teary eyes with guilt.
Then,both of you made a U-turn and head towards North Mountain. The mountain where Elsa isolated herself long ago as she told you about the mountain at the same time,comforting you,making you to let it go. Finally,both of you have reached your destination, the ice castle. Both of you got off the sled as you carried Albert while having the M1 rifle sling on your shoulder while Elsa led you inside. You became careful as you climbed up the ice staircase.
Inside,you suddenly saw a large clump of snow turned into a golem. You backed away as fast as you could but Elsa,the creator of the golem disciplined him,"Marshmallow, sit!" so he obeyed."Good boy!" she continued with a smile despite the funeral. After both of you went upstairs,you then placed his body gently on the middle of the room with Elsa finishing off by making an ice coffin growing below him. Before closing the casket,you place a photograph of his beloved which you found in his bag. In addition,you placed his Glock and M1 Garand by his side whilst Elsa placed a crystallised rose on both his hands where you placed the photograph.
After closing the casket, you warned Elsa while she was crying trying to pull herself up,"You might want to close your ears,it's going to be louder than you think." So she muffed her ears curiously with fear as she saw you holding the rifle thinking you were about to kill someone with that. She also never saw a rifle before because it was in a different time period. In fact,her royal guards' weapon arsenal included swords and spears. The higher ranks or the richer one would add in a crossbow. Not even muskets are equipped by b. Thus, you went outside towards the balcony and did a gun salute. After the third shot,your ears and shoulder started to feel numb due to the weapon's recoil and the loud roar of the gunshot alerting the whole country. You then completed the firing using up half the cartridge.
As you see the sun about to head west revealing light to the other countries, you informed the snow queen about sleeping overnight in the ice castle. She agreed and you left the palace to get your stuff from the sled and gather some twigs and branches for fuel since you're going to make a fire pit on the first floor.
As you were to leave the doorstep,Elsa approached to you and gave a motherly kiss on the cheek. Your face was as red as an apple. " Return here safely, [Y/N]. You are too young to die," Elsa said while she caressed your face followed by another kiss on the cheek. You hold her hands tightly and replied," Do not worry,Elsa. I would always be right here no matter what happens to you."
You walked down the mountain and into the woods,where you encountered the pack of wolves. While strolling down,you saw smoke. You then quickly sprinted there despite the thick snow. As you were getting closer, you fell and rolled down a hill like a ball. To make things worse, you landed into a narrow river. Resulting, you having damp clothes. On the bright side,your jacket didn't get wet so your arms are free. With strength, you bend down holding your right ankle with your right hand and pull as hard as you could till you broke the hardness making it as flexible as before. You then continued with the other leg till your limbs are flexible. Afterwards, you continued your short journey to the cabin.
You saw a signboard that reads 'Wandering Oaken's trading post' and below the sign came something more and what it stated out impressed you. " Hopefully they have a huge Jacuzzi," you smirked as you giggled to yourself. Once you opened the entrance door, you saw a huge guy at the counter with no customers except a strawberry-blonde lady having her hair tied up to 2 pony tails rested on the shoulder accompanied by a slightly buffed guy who appears to convince Mr Oakens whom you assume is the big guy at the counter.
"Another customer! Woohoo,Big Summer Blowout!" he greeted while the couple looked at you with curiosity due to your type of clothing and your futuristic-like items. You approached to Oakens and asked for an axe. He immediately placed a hatchet on the counter and told you in a Germanic-Scandinavian accent ,"That would be 80 gold pieces."
Knowing that you do not have gold,you asked with fingers crossed,"How about a trade?" He then brighten up his tone ,"we have shortage of supplies,so that would be a good idea!"
Since you are trading for an axe,you rummaged through your bag and said while you took out the items for trade,"I would trade that hatchet for a jacket,some canned food and a bottle of herbal medicine." After zipping up your bag,you placed your unwanted items on the counter. You then heard a conversation from the couple and you turned around looking at them frowning.
"Are you talking about me?" you asked curious about the conversation. The lady then nodded and asked for your identity.
"I am [Y/N] and I am from [C/N]," you answered still frowning. She then introduced herself,"Hello! I am Anna and this man here is my husband,Kristoff." After the ice breaker,you exclaimed,"HAH! I knew it!"
"Knew what?" Anna and Kristoff questioned. You paused trying to choose your words wisely and said,"You're just going to accept this and move on." Ending off with an awkward smile.
She asked you another question before you touched the door, "Have you found my sis-" "Yes. She is inside the ice castle. She would be staying there for tonight." You cut her off. Finding it rude,you apologised.
So you then left the store with a wave and find the nearest tree. Trying to make things done quickly, you hunt down for the short trees and hacked the branches knowing that it's already half past 7.
That's a wrap!...I would end it here,for now. I would love to continue the story but..I have to study for my mid-year examinations. Let me know if I did a mistake or rush through. Well, I have nothing much to say so… good bye. :D
P.S I am sorry for Albert's death. He is a brave guy and proved you that you are strong. Stay strong and remember him as a hero.
