Chapter 2
Queen Elsa was speechless at first. "You can do magic?" asked the Queen
"Yes, I am a Mage. I am sorry, I forgot that Arendale and some of its neighbors were isolated for many years from the outside world, so you don't know about various wars that occurred over the years," spoke Jaina Proudmoore.
"Wars? What are you talking about?" asked the Queen
"I will tell you later more about Azeroth's history. But you should be aware of the current war. Both the Alliance and the Horde are fighting against a powerful undead monster called the Lich King. He sends his undead armies with the purpose to destroy the world. He must be stopped," spoke Lady Proudmoore.
"And we can help because?" asked Queen Elsa
"Queen Elsa, the Dalaran mages recently detected a spike in magical energy in Arendale. I know what you did Queen Elsa, and I humbly ask you to help the war effort. You are a very powerful mage, and you could help to substantially decrease the casualties of this war in Northrend," spoke Jaina
"Some monsters already attacked my kingdom," spoke Elsa
"I am aware. I came here as fast as I could, but the casualties are too great. I am deeply sorry for what happened here," spoke Jaina
"I guess I don't have much choice, do I? I will help, but please help my people to get out. I am worried that without my presence, the undead would overrun Arendale,"
"I will, Queen Elsa. I will send a letter to Varian," spoke Jaina, "now, will you leave alone for your expedition to Northrend?"
"No, my sister Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven would come with me," replied Elsa. Jaina looked at the group, then stood up and made an incantation.
"What is going on?" asked Anna as blue light surrounded the group. When the group looked around, they noticed that they were present now in a very large city.
"Welcome to Stormwind," spoke Jaina as the group looked around.
"Elsa, look, don't you think that man is quite short," giggled Anna.
"Princess Anna, I forgot that you don't know much about Azeroth's history and its inhabitants. Many more races than just humans live on the planet, and the fellow who you just encountered is a Dwarf. Alliance consists of Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, Night Elves, and Draenei. Its enemy Horde, with whom Alliance had many conflicts consist of Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, Undead, and Blood Elves," spoke Jaina as she continued showing around the capital city of the Alliance.
"Elsa, look! This castle is so big!" spoke Anna as she observed a large castle.
"Welcome to Stormwind Keep," spoke Jaina as she led the group inside. After a short journey, the group arrived into a throne room. They saw a man sitting on the throne, and a teenage boy stood next to him.
"Jaina, it's nice to see you," spoke the man as he stood up. He had armor covering almost all his body except head. The man carried a large sword.
"Varian, I would like to introduce our new ally Queen Elsa of Arendale," spoke Jaina
"Arendale. Yes, I remember of a small kingdom of Arendale. It split from Lordaeron many years ago, and became a small kingdom, one of very few unaffected by all recent wars," spoke King Wrynn
"Greetings Queen Elsa, and welcome to the Alliance," spoke the King
"I learned that there is a war going on in the land of Northrend. I want to help, " spoke the Queen.
"I appreciate your help. Kraken, the ship that sails to Northrend, will depart in a few hours. I would recommend you to get some weapons. I know that the Queen can handle yourself, as she is a mage, but you two would need," spoke Varian.
"Hi, my name is Olaf, and I life warm hugs," spoke Olaf as he approached the King. Varian looked skeptically at the snowman.
"What are you?" asked the King
"King Varian, I built him," spoke Elsa as Varian stared briefly at the talking snowman. His son saw the snowman and also looked at Olaf. Prince Anduin had seen a lot of strange magic, but he had never seen a living and talking snowman.
Meanwhile, Anna approached one map and saw that it was the map of the Eastern Kingdoms. "Arendale," read Anna when she found her home kingdom.
Anna explored the map, and then saw that one small kingdom was colored with grey paints. "Um, King Varian, why is this kingdom painted with grey paint?" asked Anna
"Princess Anna, the Scourge had recently completely annihilated the Southern Isles kingdom. Noone survived," spoke Varian as he then went to talk to his son.
"Anna, is everything alright?" questioned Elsa.
"The Southern Isles! Hans lives there! His ship just left Arendale," spoke Anna as Elsa too realized what her sister was trying to say.
"I know that he tried to kill us, and was a horrible monster, but this! I would not wish such a fate even to him. His whole kingdom is dead," spoke Anna
"Anna, we need to go, Jaina wanted to show us the armory. We need to find appropriate weapons for us to help Elsa," spoke Kristoff as the three humans, a reindeer, and a snowman journeyed into the armory, where they found all sorts of weapons.
"I guess I will take an axe. They seem to be similar to the equipment I used for ice harvesting," spoke Kristoff as he picked an axe. Anna continued looking at various weapons.
"I don't know. Elsa! Please help," asked Anna as Elsa smiled.
"Anna, you can take anything to help you, but since we go to war, I really don't want you in harms way. I can handle myself, but I don't want you to engage in melee combat. What do you think about a ranged weapon?" asked Queen Elsa.
"Sure, I will try a bow," spoke Anna as she lifted one bow and shot an arrow at a target. While the arrow did not quite hit the bullseye, it did land on the target.
"Good luck friends, I will see you in Northrend. Don't forget to board Kraken," spoke Jaina as she gave a map of Stormwind before leaving the group.
"Elsa, can I get a horse? I can see that just about everyone has a horse in here," began Anna as the group walked on the streets of Stormwind. The young woman then stopped speaking when she saw something fly in the sky.
"Is that a dragon?" asked Anna
"Never seen a dragon lass? Don't worry, they don't bite. At least not the ones that people use as mounts. I heard the aspects are generally very friendly as well, especially the leader of the Red Dragons," spoke a Dwarf as he continued drinking beer.
"Please," began Anna
"No, I am not getting you a dragon. To answer your previous question, you don't need a horse, since we have Sven who can help us travel," spoke the Queen.
"Queen Elsa," spoke Kristoff.
"Kristoff, you saved my sister and helped me. You can call me Elsa. And yes, you can date my sister," smiled Elsa as she then stepped in front of her sister and Kristoff and concentrated before creating a white horse from snow. The Queen then climbed on the horse.
"Lets go, or the ship will leave soon without us. If I remember the map's coordinates, the harbor is this way," spoke Elsa as she began riding her horse in one direction. Kristoff and Anna climbed on Sven; Olaf jumped and sat behind Anna.
"Wait up, sis," spoke Anna as Sven followed Elsa's horse.
As the group continued their journey, they noticed that the public was amazed to see an actual horse made of snow. The group traveled for forty minutes before they arrived in the harbor and saw the ship.
"Come, let's our journey awaits," spoke Anna as she climbed of the reindeer, and stepped on the ship.
"Wait for me Anna," spoke Kristoff as he ran after his girlfriend. Elsa shook her head, before also stepping on the deck of the ship. Sven and Olaf followed. Anna smiled when she saw Elsa standing next to her. The ship moved, and the journey began.
As the ship sailed to Northrend, another ship approached the Southern Isles. The crew threw out their prisoner and looked around. "Why is nobody here?" Asked Hans. But the Prince did not see a living being.
Suddenly a horde of undead monsters ran at him. Hans quickly noticed that the monsters actually attacked him; they only killed the crew. "What is going on?" asked Hans as a very tall figure dressed in a thick armor appeared in front of him. A helm covered his face. He held a very sharp sword.
"Greetings Prince Hans, or should I say King Hans of the Southern Isles? I know what happened in Arendale. Queen Elsa destroyed your plans to be a king. And look at what happened to your kingdom. I can tell that you have great rage in your heart," spoke the Lich King.
"Yes, she did all this. I vow to do anything I could to destroy her," spoke Hans.
"Anything? I can help you," smiled the Lich King as he approached Hans with his sword. Hans screamed and the fell on the ground. His red hair turned white and his skin became pale.
"Arise Lord Hans of the Southern Isles. From this day on, you are a
Death Knight. You have a great power now. You don't need to be afraid of cold anymore. Use your power to destroy your enemy. Capture and bring her to me alive, and I will let you end her life in the Ice Crown Citadel. Go to Northrend, and deal with Queen Elsa," spoke Arthas as he gave a sword to Hans.
Arthas then left the scene, before giving a navigational map to Northrend to Hans. "I will slay you Elsa. Arendale will be mine!" spoke Hans as he lifted his sword.
A/N: Hans will be occasionally antagonizing the group, especially Elsa. Next chapter, Elsa and group travel to Northrend before arriving at Valiance Keep.
