I do not own any Frozen Tangled characters involved
Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Eugene, and Repunzel stood in the middle of the Valley of the Living Rock.
"Ook. Are we there yet?" Eugene asked.
"We're here. Pabbie!" Kristoff called.
A rock rolled up to them and opened up.
"Kristoff. How have you been?" Pabbie asked.
"It... talks..." Repunzel said.
"We have a question for you. Do you know a man named Drago?" Kristoff asked.
Pabbie's eyes went wide at the mention of the name.
"Do you know him?" Kristoff asked.
"Yes. I know him. He's one of the most powerful beings in the world. His power feeds off the hatred and sadness of others. Every passing second he grows stronger. Drago saw early on in life that there was more hatred than good in this world and he took advantage of that." Pabbie said.
"There has to be some background to this guy. Is there a reason he does what he does?" Anna asked.
"Drago had a friend. His name was Near." Pabbie started
This grabbed everyone's attention.
"Their fathers had a complicated relationship with the kingdoms of Arendelle, Corona, The Southern Isles, and Dun Broch. The rulers of each kingdom agreed that they had to be taken care of. For they were a threat and could no longer live. They all went to Drago's hide out together. The fight lasted for five long days. Eventually, the rulers defeated both Near and Drago's fathers. That's hoe Drago got his powers. He was so angry that he learned to harness that anger and turn it into power." Pabbie said.
"Who's Near. I understand that he's Drago's friend but is there anything else you could tell us about him?" Anna asked.
"No one really knows who Near is. I know that he's an excellent warrior. Only second to Drago himself. He also has power similar to Drago but his is different. While Drago's power thrives on hatred and sadness, Near's power thrives on peoples emotions not just those two. He can draw power whether the person is angry, mad, happy or sad. That's why Near might even be more powerful than Drago. But Drago has more experience and he's more intelligent." Pabbie said.
"We found marks on guards that looked like sword marks. Do you know what those were?" Elsa asked.
"Drago and Near both have special weapons. Near's weapon is a sword that was carved from the strongest metal in the world. It can't be broken and Near is the only one who can use it. If anyone else tries to wield it, the sword will feed off the soul of the wielder and eventually that person will be nothing but a pale motionless body." Pabbie explained.
"What about Drago?" Repunzel asked.
"Drago's weapons are a little different. Drago has long twin hooks that can sap the soul away from anyone he wishes. Those hooks are strong enough to knock down entire castles in one strike. And with Drago wielding them it could only be more destructive." Pabbie said.
"I still don't get why they want revenge on us." Kristoff said.
"Besides Kristoff you're the heirs to the royals who killed their family. But I feel he has something in mind. A certain way he's planning to get his revenge." Pabbie said putting a hand on his chin.
Suddenly, a harsh wind started to blow in the opposite direction they were facing. A vortex spiraled up and when it exploded, Drago and Near appeared standing side by side.
"You know I'll admit it. I've seen plenty of things in my life but never have I ever seen a talking troll before." Near said.
"Near... Drago..." Pabbie said quietly.
"I have to say Pabbie. You don't do a good job at keeping secrets do you." Drago said.
Pabbie gritted his teeth in anger.
"What do you want Drago?" Pabbie asked.
"You see it's not what we want. It's who." Drago said.
"We didn't come here for a fight." Anna interrupted.
"And neither did we. Just come with us Elsa and no one gets hurt." Drago said.
"Not on your life!" Anna shouted drawing her sword from its sheath and running toward Drago.
"Oh no you don't." Near said.
A sword materialized in Near's hand and he ran toward Anna. They both raised their swords, ready to clash when Drago suddenly appeared in between them. He spread his arms out to each side, and a shock wave sent both Near and Anna flying backwards. Near landed on his feet while Anna landed on her back.
"Enough Near!" Drago shouted.
Drago walked back over to him.
"There will be a time and place for that. Understood." Drago said.
Near bowed his head then looked back at Anna who was being helped up by Kristoff. She started to run forward again until Elsa put her hand out in front of her. Anna backed down soon after.
"What do you want?" Elsa asked.
"Well two things, revenge and power. The truth is Snow Queen I could kill you right here right now if I wanted to. The only reason I'm not is because it would be so much more fun to do that after you witness all your friends die first." Drago said. "Or it could be the other way around."
"That's not gonna happen as long as I'm around." Anna said.
"That's exactly why we have to get rid of you." Drago said back.
"Leave them out of this! It's me you want isn't it." Elsa said.
"Actually it is all of you. But it's your power in particular." Drago said.
"Why me?" Elsa asked.
"As Pabbie already told you, our parents fought. But did he tell you why?" Drago asked.
"Wasn't it because your parents were a threat?" Kristoff asked.
"That was part of it but not the whole thing." Drago said.
"Well then, spill the beans." Eugene said.
"We all know that parents would sacrifice everything for their children but in this case it was somewhat different."
Drago pointed to Elsa.
"Your parents didn't fight me to protect their kingdom, they were fighting to protect themselves. They were scared. And because of that they thought by facing what they were afraid of, they wouldn't be afraid anymore." Drago said.
Drago put his hand back at his side.
"With this in mind they fought without fear. And they were the ones who killed our parents. That's the truth." Near said.
"That whole battle was part of a prophecy. It foretold that five warriors of the highest strength would one day come to seek what they lack. I'm guessing your parents lacked courage. That's why they fought. As for the others I can't really say. All I know is that the ruler of the Southern Isles didn't fight, for he was too afraid to risk his life. My guess is the prophecy is happening again. The five of you against me and Near."
"Isn't there a set time to this prophecy?" Anna asked.
"There is. And it will come soon. On the night of the first blue moon in 500 years. That's in two weeks. But you will be destroyed long before that time comes." Drago said.
"I wouldn't bet on that." Eugene said.
"You can believe what you want, but the fact still remains that Near and I are stronger than all of you combined even when we aren't our full power."
Drago looked at Pabbie.
"Even if he helps you, your power will always be inferior to ours."
"We beat you before. We'll do it again." Anna said.
"Your parents defeated ours. But this is different. We're stronger than our parents were. The same case with you Snow Queen. Your parents weren't particularly strong. Nor were they clever. But that was a long time ago." Drago said.
Drago smirked.
"Actually. Speaking of the Souther Isles... there's someone who wants to say hello." Drago said.
A vortex started to build at the side of Drago. It exploded outward and Hans appeared beside Drago with a sword strapped to his side.
"It's been a while hasn't it your Majesties." Hans said.
Elsa and Anna were speechless.
"I... I thought you were dead." Elsa said.
"You'd like to think that wouldn't you. Do you have any idea what you've done to me!" Hans shouted.
Hans clenched his fist and his knuckles started to turn white.
"I was so close. I had the throne in the palm of my hand. Until everything slipped out of my grasp at the last second. Anna, the moment you froze in front of your sister ruined my life." Hans said.
Hans relaxed his grip and smirked.
"But, thanks to that I met Drago and Near. Drago promised me my revenge and my own kingdom, so I should be thanking you in a way." Hans said.
Anna clenched her fist hard and Hans smirked at her action.
"Why the mad face Anna? I thought you'd be delighted to see me again." Hans said with slight sarcasm.
Anna gritted her teeth.
"Someday... I'm going to kill you." Anna said angrily.
"Go ahead and try." Hans said drawing the sword from its sheath.
Hans was about to run forward until Drago put a hand on his shoulder.
"Not now. I'll tell you right now that sword will do nothing for you. It's worn out and will crack at first contact." Drago said.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Hans shouted back.
Drago touched the sword with his finger and a small crack appeared when his finger was removed. Hans stared at the sword in shock as the crack grew spread across the blade. Soon, every last inch was covered in cracks except for the handle and the whole blade shattered.
"I told you." Drago said.
Hans put on an angry expression.
"I'll give you the necessary materials for your revenge but not now." Drago said. "Near, take Hans back to the hideout. I'll be there shortly."
Near nodded his head and a vortex engulfed him and Hans. In few seconds they were gone.
"I thought he was executed!" Anna shouted.
"He would have been if not for me. I saved his life. I'll have a use for him in the near future." Drago said.
"What could a man like that do for you?" Anna asked.
"It's not what he can do for me. It's what he can do to you." Drago said.
"What does that mean?" Repunzel asked.
"You'll understand soon enough." Drago said.
Elsa stared directly at Drago and something under his hood flickered white. She blinked a couple times and her vision started to become blurry. She shook her head and her vision went back to normal.
"It worked." Drago thought.
A vortex started to engulf Drago. After a few seconds he was gone. Elsa blinked a couple times and her vision started to blur again. Soon after her vision went black and she passed out.
Drago reappeared in his hideout where Near, Hans, and Gothel were waiting for him.
"So, did it work?" Near asked.
"To perfection." Drago answered.
"What did you do?" Hans asked.
"Something to her vision and mind. For two days everything will be fine, but on the third day she'll faint and her mind will be consumed by darkness. She'll only awake when she succumbs to the darkness and joins our side." Drago said.
"Why bring her to our side?" Gothel asked.
"Without one of the five, the prophecy can't come true. You need all five to maintain the balance but if the balance shifts and there's only four two things happen. One it makes it easier for us and two..."
"The prophecy changes." Near finished.
"Exactly." Drago said.
"What do you mean the prophecy changes? Does that mean there's two?" Hans asked.
"Yes. There's the real prophecy and there's... the altered version." Drago said.
"Altered version?" Gothel asked.
"Come with me." Drago said.
Drago lead the other three down and long hallway and he opened a pair of wide and tall double doors. When they entered, they stood in front of a stone that had writing written on it.
"Is that...?"
"The prophecy." Drago said.
The stone read:
The blue moon of blackest night.
Five warriors rise up to fight.
Only when the order is given
Shall evil rise and remain unhidden.
When time passes day to night
There shall be one final fight.
When good finds courage to attack
Only then will they find what they lack.
In the end good will prevail
This is the legend of Nightfall Frail.
"Who's Nightfall Frail? Hans asked.
"My father" Drago said.
"So, your last name is frail?" Gothel asked.
"No. I don't have a last name." Drago answered.
"So how do we change the prophecy?" Hans asked.
"That only happens when the balance starts to shift." Drago answered.
Drago started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Near asked.
"There's something I have to take care of. I'll be back shortly." Drago said walking through the double doors.
Drago sat down in his throne and waved his hand in front of himself. It showed a projection of Elsa passed out in Anna's arms at the valley of the living rock. Drago chuckled to himself.
"Things just keep getting interesting don't they." Drago said to himself.
Drago gripped the arms rest of his throne.
"In three days... I'll have won."
