Chapter 4

"Elsa!" cried Anna as Elsa pulled the bed sheets from her sister, "I want to sleep,"

"Common Anna, you and Kristoff have work to do. We are here on a mission to stop this evil Lich King, and I need to be sure that at least you two lovebirds can properly protect yourself," spoke Elsa as Anna sat in her bed.

"Fine, give me a minute," spoke Anna as she yawned, and then slowly stood up. Elsa then waited while her sister dressed up, and the two sisters then exited the room, before knocking on Kristoff's door.

"One second," spoke Kristoff as he exited the room.

"Hello Kristoff, I see that you are ready. Come, General Arlos is probably already waiting for us," spoke Elsa as she led the two to the Valiance Keep. The three journeyed across the street, and soon entered the large keep.

"This house is amazing," spoke Anna

"It is. It was made for war," reasoned Kristoff as the two entered the room on the second floor, where they saw General Arlos talking to some person. When he saw them, he ended the conversation, and approached the trio.

"Greetings your Majesty. Hello, my name is General Arlos," spoke the General, as he extended his arm to Anna and Kristoff.

"Princess Anna of Arendale," spoke Anna

"Kristoff Bjorgman," spoke Kristoff

"He means Sir Kristoff Bjorgman," corrected Queen Elsa. Before Kristoff could reply, General Arlos observed the two new recruits.

"Splendid. Now, lets start your training," spoke the General, as he smiled.

An hour later, both Anna and Kristoff, but mainly Anna, were complaining. "Why do we have to run so much?" asked Anna

"Quiet soldier, you two have more running to do. I want to see that you are both in shape before we proceed with weapon's training," spoke their captain on the field.

"I am tired," spoke Anna as she dropped on the ground.

"Get up on your feet soldier and," began the captain as Elsa approached him.

"I know that my sister and her boyfriend needed to receive some basic training, but I don't think this is what I had in mind. Besides, don't you see that Anna is tired?" spoke Elsa as she looked at the training officer.

"A soldier needs to keep in shape. If you face some undead minion of the Lich King, or some unfriendly wildlife of this place, you would be doomed unless you get a lot of training," explained the officer, "Why are you not training? I know that you are a mage, but mages need to train as well,"

"I am in perfect control of my powers. I strongly doubt anything save Lich King could really harm he here," spoke Elsa as suddenly the entire Keep was frozen. Snow appeared everywhere. The buildings were covered in snow, and the temperatures dropped significantly. Elsa then made a few hand gestures, and the Keep returned to normal.

"You are just a mage. If confronted with melee combat, you wont last a second," spoke the captain as Elsa formed an ice sword in her hand.

"I am also the Queen. Even though I was locked in my room for years, my father had time to train me in sword fighting," spoke Elsa as she looked at the captain.

"Are you challenging me?" asked the man and Elsa nodded. The two briefly fought. Elsa moved with grace, and disarmed the man. His sword soon hit the ground, and the captain found Elsa's ice blade close to his neck.

"I think that neither my Anna nor Kristoff would benefit greatly from your training. We are here to help stop the Lich King, not fight a war. I thank you for a suggestion about improving my defenses," spoke Elsa as she created thick ice armor on top of her ice dress.

"No! Get away from me," spoke the man as he looked at Elsa, who now proudly stood in her newly created thick ice armor with a sharp ice blade.

"I wonder why he was so afraid of you," spoke Anna as she laughed. Elsa smiled, as she dissolved her armor, leaving only her original ice dress covering her body.

"I thought he could help us, but I see now that this training is not what would work best for you. Come, I could train you better than he. I know I am not the best sword fighter, especially when comparing to someone like the King of Stormwind, but this captain was just pathetic," spoke Elsa as the three returned to the inn.

Later that night, Anna sat on the bench, looking how Elsa was teaching Kristoff in fighting. Kristoff decided to take a sword instead, and the two swords now clashed. "Move with grace, and be light on your feet," spoke Elsa as she parried the sword, and then again disarmed Kristoff.

After an hour of practice, Elsa observed how Anna used bow and arrow. The girl tried to shoot at the target, but was not very successful at that. "Help, he stole my money," spoke a person as Anna saw that a thief was running away.

"You wont get away," spoke Anna as she quickly grabbed a log, and hit the thief with it. The man fell on the ground, and the victim retrieved his wallet.

"Thank you, " spoke the man as he walked away. Elsa sighed, she did not want to admit, but Anna seemed to be much more proficient at hitting things with sticks and melee weapons than with a ranged weapon.

"Alright, you can try being a knight," spoke Elsa although she was still skeptical, "but you have to wear ice armor that I would make you,"

"Thank you," exclaimed Anna as she ran at Elsa and hugged her sister.

"Cannot breath," replied Elsa as Anna giggled.

"The Lich King is here! Run!" spoke the same officer who tried to train them. Else lifted an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about? I am Queen Elsa, not the Lich King!"

"I saw you! Your armor, your sword, your face, you are the Lich King," spoke the officer as he ran away from the Keep in fear, before quickly been torn to shreds by some spider monster.

As the spider monster entered the Keep, Elsa shot it with her ice magic. The snow entered the monster's body, and it quickly turned into an ice sculpture. Anna run towards it, and shattered the statute, destroying the monster.

"Let's relax. We had a busy day. Tomorrow we shall begin our adventure," spoke Elsa as the three returned to their rooms, where they found Olaf and Sven.

In Ice Crown Citadel, the Lich King sat on his Frozen Throne. "Master, we have reports from our spies at Valiance Keep," spoke Kel'Thuzad, as he gave a sheet of paper to the Lich King.

"This is very interesting. The citizens of Alliance already fear the Snow Queen, just as they feared her in Arendale. Making her my puppet might be even easier than I thought," spoke the Lich King

"Master, she formed some ice armor around herself, that made one person believe she was you. How is that possible?" asked Kel'Thuzad.

"It is possible. This actually gave me a thought. Get me some reports on the history of Arendale," ordered Arthas.

"Yes, Master," replied Kel'Thuzad as he left.

"Snow Queen Elsa, you are an interesting woman," mused Arthas, "Who would have known that you are not just some Frost Mage, but almost an equivalent of a Frost Death Knight?"

"Your sister is promising. Perhaps I shall make her another Death Knight," thought Arthas, as he returned to his other plans.

A/N: I thought that since Elsa is the first born to King Agdar, she would have received at least some weapons training. And I thought it interesting to make her a magical Ice Warrior Mage, rather than just a Frost Mage. The parallels between Elsa and Arthas, especially when they both wear thick armor and wield sharp blades, in Elsa's case made from ice, is intentional. Don't worry, I did not forget about Hans or Agdar and Idun.
