Frozen
The Dragon Princess
Chapter 5
While Anna had kept her adventure a secret, she had still got a scolding form her parents for "hiding" like she had and worrying everyone. She kept her head down and said she was sorry, but as soon as she was alone in her room she was digging into her book. Her first flight and her scolding after had showed her that her parents still cared about her and that even as a dragon she wasn't ready to leave home. As bad as the silence and loneliness was, this place was still her home, and she still had a family that loved her, if only they would tell her why they were all so distant. She sighed and realized that that would probably never change, but she would still keep trying. So she knocked on Elsa's door as usual, asked her to come play, and after a few moments when she didn't answer sat down, her back to the door and read. She didn't say anything, just studied her book while listening to her sister move around her room, breathed in the wintery scent that wafted under the door. That was what the light icy scent reminded her of, all the scents she associated with winter.
"I wonder what I would smell like to Elsa?" Anna wondered. Eventually her butt got cold sitting on the floor so she got up and wondered the halls for a while, her mind just wandering, and wondering about what to do next. She lay on the couch in the portrait room staring up at Joan of Arc on her steed in the middle of a vicious battle.
"Does Elsa really hate me? She said she's happy that I knock on her door, and that she misses me, but then why doesn't she play with me? Can't she see I'm lonely, and I know she's lonely, and why do mom and dad insist on keeping us apart?"
these questions went round and round in her mind until her head started to hurt.
"It must be mother and father. They must have chosen to separate us. But Elsa must have accepted their decision. She has to know the reason why we're apart. So it's the three of them…and me"
Anna reasoned and immediately shied away from that thought. She couldn't stand to think of what she could have done that would make the three of them hide Elsa away like that. Then a thought hit her.
"In stories the hero has to go on a quest to save the one they love. Maybe if I can do something heroic, mom, dad, and Elsa will forgive me" She thought elated. She sat up on the couch and flicking her wrist called her book, I knew spell she had been wanting to try. Now she never had to carry it with her.
"Magic is so amazing" She thought for the millionth time. She opened the book and turned to a part at the back, a history of famous dragonkin and historic quests.
"Though they are not recorded in human history, many of Dragonkin has completed great quests and epic deeds. In this section are their great deeds and deeds to which you may wish to aspire to. Be warned many of these quests are dangerous. If you are not willing to risk you life, close this section and return to a safer one."
"Wow, this book has everything" Anna said to the empty room.
"So what do you think Joan?" Anna asked looking up at her favorite picture of Joan of Arc locked in battle"
"Right, you never ran from a quest did?' She asked and began flipping through the pages.
"I have to find something big. Something great enough that mom, dad, and Elsa will have to forgive me"
She thought as she paged through the quests. Unfortunately all of them required hunting down and killing some kind of monster or evildoer.
"Just like the stories, but I don't want to kill anything, or anyone" She thought.
"Don't you have any quests that don't involve killing things?" She asked, and the next page she turned to was exactly what she was looking for
"The most dangerous quest for any dragonkin and the one that has taken the most lives is the hunt for magic's heart. This legendary gem is said to be the crystallized heart of the first dragon Queen. Its powers is so great that it can grant any wish"
"That's perfect. If I can find the gem, maybe I can wish for us to be a family again" She told Joan.
"The search for the dragon's heart is a long and grueling one. Just as many Dragonkin have spent their lives fruitlessly searching for the gem as have lost them" the book explained.
"You can't scare me book. I will find the gem, I will" She said.
Sorry that this chapter is so short, but I'm trying to get the story planned out. I am trying to keep the development of Anna's character the same as it was during the movie. This is not an AU, but more of a prologue of the movie. For the fans of Frozen Creed, I'll update as soon as possible, but I'm using this story to delve into Anna's character for Frozen Creed.
