Frozen: The Dragon Princess
Chapter 7
How to Train your dragon Princess
Okay, first update in a while, but here it is. For those of you who wanted a Kingdom Hearts style story, I apologize, but big four beat you out three to two in the reviews. Don't worry though, I'm thinking I may add in a Disney world or two for Anna to visit. Here's the first chapter of big four, where she visits Berk.
Anna spent a week charting out the path through time. Her book told her the general area and time of the clues to the dragon's heart, but not exactly where. So Anna made a list of all the where's and when's of the clues. She usually wasn't so organized, though she remembered Elsa was. Her sister had always been neat, clean and organized. Anna knew just how important this was, so she had to be prepared. She also didn't use any magic for a week. No transforming, no fire, or invisibility spells. Her book told her that time magic took a lot of power, and her six year old brain reasoned that if she didn't use any of her power it would save up like spare change. Between finding out where she needed to go, charting it out, and building up her power it was about a month before she was ready to actually make a try. She decided to travel backward in her room so that she could return there when she was finished.
"I really hope this works" She thought desperately.
A week of building up her power had left her feeling giddy and lightheaded, something her book called "Magical Overload". During her prep Anna had also researched cloths creation, magic to alter what she wore into something else.
"Maybe using a little magic to change my cloths couldn't hurt" Anna thought as she stood in front of her mirror.
The first clue was in a place called Berk, an ancient Viking land that existed centuries ago, whose lineage could be traced back to the Arendelle. Anna closed her eyes and summoning her magic weaved it through her clothes. Although she couldn't see it her clothes were enveloped in an orange fiery energy that turned them from the cute yet functional dress and Mary Janes she was wearing into a set of tough yet subtle leather pants and a leather vest over a white shirt with an old fashioned wool cloak hanging off her shoulders. She opened her eyes and looked at herself. She didn't look like a princess, but like a normal kid ready for a day out.
"I could probably leave the castle right now and disappear into the town, but mom and dad would worry, they'd be sad" Anna's mind wandered.
With a lurch she brought it back to focus on what she needed to do. She picked up the pack that sat next to her on the floor that was filled with food and water for her journey. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes preparing to move through time. She spun out her magic with questing fingers, the date of Berks existence planted firmly in her mind. She reached, and reached, and reached, and even though her magic energy was full to the brim, it still began to hurt, but she pushed on, her want, her need to find the dragons heart pushing her past the pain, until her tether latched onto when she needed to be and pulled. Unlike the first time where the pull was short, Anna felt like she was being flung through the air, falling off a cliff with no bottom. She wanted to scream, wanted to stop, but as she passed through the centuries all she could do was hold on to her mind and soul with all her might. After a second that lasted an eternity she found herself falling through actual air, the ground rushing up at her, finding a dredge of strength inside her she transformed and beat her wings furiously, breaking her bone crushing fall. She landed on rough stone, her claws gouging the rock. She breathed heavily, both from the fear of her near fall and from exhaustion at her time jump. She looked around with her dragons eyes, sniffed the air with her dragon nose. The castle was gone, or rather had yet to be built yet, the area where it would sit still only a rocky island surrounded by the fjord.
"I did it, I really did it !" She thought with exaltation. She had made it through time, to a time when the kingdom didn't even exist.
"Now to find berk" She thought and transformed back, only to be hit by a wave of weariness. She plunked to the ground and pulled out one of the turkey legs she had filched from the kitchen and laid into it as she pulled out the journal of where she was going. She may not be as good at her lessons as Elsa, but one she loved above all others was geography. She loved learning about other lands, other peoples, places she wanted to visit one day. Her teachers praised her abilities at reading and comprehending maps, even as young as she was. She had even ripped a map of the known world out of an almanac to take with her on her trip, the one she looked at now. Luckily it still had Berk on it, now a small island colony that held fealty to Arendelle, only a few hundred miles by boat from the capital where she was now. In this time it was still a Viking village. As she ate a shadow passed over her. She looked up to see a dragon pass over her head. Unlike Cloudjumper, this one was a light purple color with two wings, a long body and horns. She heard a grunt next to her and found a squat brown dragon sniffing at her food.
"You want some?" Anna asked grinning. She took the other turkey leg and tossed it to the lumpy boulder like dragon that sniffed it, then turned and started munching on a pile of rocks. Anna giggled at the dragon then retrieved the turkey leg, and brushing it off bit into it. She finished that one off as a number of other dragons gathered around her, more of the long two winged ones with horns, but also bird like ones with two legs and the strangest, ones with two heads. Anna finished her food and stood up.
"It was nice meeting you all, but I have to go. Important business and all" She said and transformed. Some of the dragons shied back as the human they were looking at turned into one of them, but then settled down. Anna nodded at them then leapt into the sky. She climbed up, up, and up, and she found more dragons filling the skies, gliding on the winds. They snorted at her, but left her alone as she darted and weaved through the air. She didn't know what it was, but being here, in the fresh air, surrounded by these creatures, she felt free, and more like herself than she ever had before.
Let the wind carry us
Through the clouds, hurry up, all right
We can travel so far
As our eyes can see
Anna dove through the clouds at high speed skimming the water, darting and weaving around the blue dragons that leapt out of the water like fishes. She climbed again, feeling the exhilaration of her wings pumping the air.
We go where no one goes
We slow for no one
Can not follow us
Awake in the sky
We break up so high, all right
Let's make it around, let's savor it
She broke into a glide, passing through the thick white clouds, letting the cold fresh scent fill her nose. She broke through the clouds to see Berk. It was starkly beautiful, with the stone statues standing guard like giant sentinels. She could see the wooden village perched on the edge facing the sea, with woods off in the distance. She also saw dragons flying in and out among the leather and helmet clad people.
We go where no one goes
We slow for no one
Can not follow us
We slow for no one
We go where no one goes
[x2]
We go where no one goes
She inserted herself into a crowd of dragons and descended to a landing site empty of people. She changed back to human form and made her way into the village. She had to admit she was a bit scared. These were Vikings after all and she had heard the horror stories, but they were also her ancestors so was willing to give them of the doubt. She emerged into the village square to see people wearing leather and helmets. Most of them were rather large, even the women. Over head dragons flew and on the ground they walked around, some helping with various tasks. All in all it was a very homey feel, that made Anna giggle and look around in wonder until she bumped into someone. "Whoa there lass" A jolly voice with a thick accent said as Anna whirled around. She looked up, and up, and up into the bright blue eyes of the largest man she had ever seen. He was dressed yellow shirt, a fur vest, and brown striped pants. He had a hook where one arm was and a peg leg where the opposite leg was.
"What happened to you?" She blurted out. the man just stared at her, but Anna didn't get any feeling of menace or danger from him.
"You ain't from around here are ya?" he asked.
"Of course I am. I'm a Viking just like you!" Anna said puffing herself up as much as she could.
"Eh, ha, sure ye are. Then answer me this lass, what's the name of the man who founded this village?" The man asked.
"um" Anna stuttered.
"Sorry lass, but Um the uncertain is the wrong answer. You better come with me" The man said.
"Sorry I can't" Anna said gathering her magic in her palm.
"Oh, and why not?" The man asked.
"Because of this"
Anna said and threw the ball of fire into the ground. It exploded in a cloud of dirt and smoke that Anna used to escape. She ran in between two buildings, made sure no one was around, changed, and took to the air.
Okay, so what did you think? Sorry to leave you hanging with Anna just getting to Berk and landing in trouble, but the next chapter is going to be partly her point of view, and partly Hiccups.
