Anna POV

"Elsa? Elsa?!" I shouted down into the hole my sister had disappeared into. I was about to jump in after her when the ground shook again, knocking me back to the ground. As I was scrambling back up, the two sides of the split crashed back together, blocking me out.

"No, Elsa!" I cried as I knelt over the seam in the ground. I dug frantically at the crack, but all I turned up was more dirt. No, no, no…

I stopped digging and tried to come up with a plan. That was more Elsa's thing. I preferred to take action and go from there. What would Elsa do?

She'd be scared and all alone underground with a monster, I thought. What is she going to do? She's a great queen, but she's more fragile than she seems. She's probably terrified. I have to find her. I stood up and started running back along the path. I didn't stop until I was back at the beach. I was breathing so hard I could barely stand, but that wasn't important. I flagged down the nearest rowboat and climbed in.

"Excuse me, I need you to take me to that ship," I said to the boat's owner. I shoved a handful of coins at him. He shrugged and started rowing. As soon as we reached the side of the ship I hauled myself onboard and rang the alarm bell. Sailors came pouring on to the deck.

"Elsa's been kidnapped," I told the captain. "We need to get to shore now." The crew wasted no time, and the ship was in the shallows within minutes. The captain let down a shoring boat and I jumped in.

"Excuse me, my lady, but shouldn't you stay on the ship? You're the heir apparent," he said.

"That won't be necessary. We'll find Queen Elsa," I said. He didn't argue. I told him the story as I led the guards to the fissure.

"There," I pointed out the scar on the ground. "She's down there."

"You hear her, men. Start digging!" the captain commanded. A few of the natives had heard the commotion and stood around watching us.

Maybe they know what's going on, I thought. I went up to the closest one.

"You, sir. A blue fire monster just dragged my sister down under the ground. Can you tell me anything about that?" I drew myself up and tried to look like a princess.

"A blue fire monster?" the man said. He looked at me like I'd said the sky was red. "Oh, do you mean Hades? He hardly ever comes up. You're better off leaving him alone."

"Who is this Hades?" I asked.

"What do you mean, who's Hades? He runs the underworld. He takes you after the Fates cut your lifeline. Lady, please, don't make him mad," the man said.

"I don't care who he is. He took my sister. How can I speak with him?" I asked.

"That's a job for the gods," the main said.

"Then where can I find the gods?" I persisted.

"They live up on Mount Olympus," he said, pointing to the mountain in the distance.

"Thank you," I said as I returned to the captain. I could hear the man yelling after me.

"No, wait! Humans aren't allowed up there!" he yelled.

"Too bad," I called back.

"Stay here and see what you can find," I said to the Captain. "I'll be back with reinforcements."

"Where are you going?" he said as I walked away.

"I'm climbing a mountain," I said.
