Kristoff

"Anna, please just let me in," said Kristoff as he knocked at her door.

"No! You're just going to side with Elsa again, so just go away!" cried Anna from the other side of the door.

Kristoff had tried to catch her when she'd left the hall, but it seemed that the shadows in the castle leapt out to block her from sight at every turn.

"I'm not just siding with her Anna! I wanted to punch his face in as much as anyone, but Elsa said, and I agree, that Lord Derek should be the one to punish his people! That rat faced ignoramus is nothing more than speck, don't let him ruin tonight for you!" shouted Kristoff through the door.

"He called me a witch! I am allowed to be upset if those Weasel Town bastards start calling names! That's what they did last time they were here and Elsa got upset, so I can't I now?"

"It wasn't the right reaction then, either! When Elsa ran, she almost brought about endless winter! If you run, that only justifies that rat! Now, who do you want to come out on top this evening, Princess Anna of Arendelle or some little nobody from Weasel Town?" Kristoff waited, and thought he heard her lean up against the door and sigh.

"I want to be left alone, Kristoff. Please just … just go back to dinner," said Anna.

She sounded near tears, so Kristoff spoke softly to her through the crack in the door. "Anna, you're only going to her yourself if you shut yourself away. Please let me in." He heard the door creak and so Kristoff began to think that she might let him in so he could talk with her.

"I said leave!" shouted Anna and a thick black fog shot out through the bottom of her door and wrapped cold tendrils around him. Kristoff fell onto his ass and scooted away from the door in horror and surprise, then ran back to Elsa.

Anna

"I didn't even mean to shoot out the fog, it just sort of happened! Mirror, I thought I was supposed to be able control this!" Said Anna as she stared at her right hand in horror as if she expected it to leap off and scuttle around the room.

"That was control. You wanted him to leave, and so the shadows made him leave," said the mirror.

"Yeah, but you didn't teach me how to shoot out that sort of thing! How is it that I can leap from making clothes like Elsa's to that?" asked Anna as she turned to confront the mirror.

"I might have helped you a long in small ways, but much of that power and skill came from within you. Anna, I am not teaching you how to wield your power, only how to focus it. Given time, your own knowledge of your skills will surpass mine and it shall be I that learns from you. Until then, you will allow me to help you as needed."

Anna slowly shook her head in agreement. "Ok, but I'd rather you not do that sort of thing anymore. It's a little nerve wracking."

The pale face in the mirror nodded in acceptance. "I will try. For now, would you like for me to teach you about shadowviewing?"

"What's shadowviewing?" asked Anna as she calmed herself down.

"I will tell you. First, you must find a mirror of your own," said the mirror.

"Couldn't I just use you instead?" Asked Anna with a laugh.

"That would be cheating, and using me would teach you little. For now, I recommend that you use your old mirror."

Anna sighed and lifted the old mirror from where it lay and settled it up against the magic mirror on the wall. "Now what?"

"Now place the palm of your hand against it and let your power flow into through it into the reflection behind it, let the inky darkness surround it and you."

Anna closed her eyes and let it flow like the mirror said. She felt it's cold embrace unfurl around her as she let it go and only when she felt that she had been enveloped in the cold completely did she open her eyes.

She first saw dark shapes bending and swirling all over her, like they were flames and she was their core. Then she saw the mirror, now covered and filled with an inky blackness. She pulled her hand back and darkness from the mirror danced up to meet it. When she pressed if forward she knew it went beyond the normal barrier of the mirror's reflective surface.

"Now think of any place you can envision and the closer you are to it, the clearer it will be," said the mirror as it went on with its instructions.

Anna closed her eyes and thought of Kristoff as he sat down at the feast with Elsa and he came floating into vision in her mirror.

Kristoff was saying "She was acting crazy Elsa, I swear. I just don't understand her anymore." Anna blanked him from her mind, not caring to listen to Kristoff speak against her more.

Her mind flitted to Elsa and the image shifted to focus on her. "She'll understand, I'm sure. Don't worry about it," Elsa was saying. Her hand was on his thigh and she was smiling at him.

Anna wanted to break the mirror in half, but she knew that wouldn't stop them, so instead she just thought her shadows at them and watched them shiver as they touched down. Elsa took her hand away and tried to warm up by rubbing her arms like a normal person might, she just covered them with ice and relaxed herself. Anna tried to send her shadows again but found that she couldn't get past the ice.

Anna turned her attention on Kristoff and sent shadows at his groins with the thought that she'd at least cool those off, just in case. This caused Kristoff to get up from the table and march slowly out. Anna almost smiled until she saw Elsa start to get up as well. She returned to her seat after some obvious internal debating, but Anna knew what Elsa really wanted.

Anna howled in rage and ripped her hand away, wiping the image from the mirror.

"Isn't there anything I can see that won't remind me of them? Some random person I could just watch?" Anna asked the mirror.

The pale face shook its head. "You must have a connection to them, or know those with a connection and through them view that person." The mirror stopped to ponder for a moment, then spoke again. "Lord Derek is an interesting fellow. Perhaps you could watch him," suggested the mirror.

Anna shook her head. "I am sick to death of Lord Derek. He has brought nothing but trouble."

"Then we might be able to test another viewing, and view those he trusts through him," added the mirror.

"What good would that do?" Asked Anna. She wasn't against the idea but she wanted to hear what the mirror had to say on it.

"Knowing who your enemies trust can be a very potent thing," said the mirror. "Now think of him and focus on his love and who it goes to."

Anna placed her hand on the mirror again and focused. The image fell in on Lord Derek eating at the feast and then kept going, almost as if it was travelling through his mind to get to its target. It stopped at a little dark hair girl playing with a plant in her room.

"Who is that?" Asked Anna as she stared at the girl. Anna had seen the girl before, she knew that, but she wondered why the mirror would want her to focus on the little girl.

"That is Estelle. She is the apple of Lord Derek's eye and the fire in his heart. Let's practice some more distance magic, shall we?"
