Frozen
The Dragon Princess
Rise of the Guardian Dragon
As soon as Anna stepped into the void of time she felt something grab hold of her and "pull" and she felt herself flew through the void faster than she had ever gone. She tried to scream but as soon as she did she found herself colliding hard on a cold surface, the breath being knocked out of her. She lay on the freezing surface breathing hard until she felt a presence above her.
"Wow that was one heck of face plant kid. I'd give it a nine out of ten for form alone" A rich deep voice said.
"Shut up" She gasped as she tried to push herself up only to slip on the glassy surface and thud back down. She rolled over to see a boy looking down at her. He was handsome with snow white hair bright eyes and pale blue skin.
"Reminds me of Elsa" She thought idly as the boy kneeled down.
"That had to hurt too" He chuckled.
"Are you going to laugh at me or are you going to help me up?" She asked.
"Wait you can see me?" The boy asked.
"And hear you" Anna said flipping over on her stomach to try to push herself up again only to have all her limbs slide out from under her again.
"You're really not good on ice are you?" The boy asked mirthfully.
"It's never been one of my talents" Anna said and the memory of Elsa hitting her with her magic flashed through her mind.
"Dwell on it later" She reminded herself. Huffing and fed up she transformed and dug her claws into the ice using the leverage to spring into the air and glide to solid ground.
"Should have done that first" She thought as she heard a groan behind her.
"Come on kid, easy on the ice" The boy said. Anna looked back to see that her claws and weight had made huge cracks in the ice of the lake. The boy scowled and taking the staff he was carrying tapped the ice. As soon as it the touched holes disappeared and the ice became as glassy as before.
"How did you do that?" Anna asked having transformed back
"Magic. Looks like you've got a bit of that yourself" The boy said and with a hop soared into the air and with a slight flip landed right next to her.
"His powers are just like Elsa's, but wait" She thought. Going up to him she took a long sniff and got…nothing. There was not scent of warmth, of life of anything but cold air. Even Elsa had a cold crisp scent intertwined with the smell of skin and hair and life.
"I can't smell you" Anna said.
"Well thanks considering I haven't had a shower in about 200 years" He said snidely.
"No, I mean you don't smell alive, but you don't smell dead either. You just smell like nothing" Anna said.
"And does that bother you?" the boy asked.
"I'm not sure. You have the same kind of magic as my sister, but you move like a snowflake on the wind" Anna said.
"Wait, your sister has winter magic? Is she some kind of spirit?" he asked staring at her.
"What no, she's human and alive, she's was just born with really powerful magic" Anna said.
"And where is she, do you live around here. Man that's someone I would really like to meet" the boy said rising into the air.
"No, we don't live around here. We live far away, really far" Anna said panicking. She could only imagine what her parents or Elsa would think if this strange boy with ice magic suddenly showed up.
"No problem, I can be anywhere in the world in an instant" The boy said.
"We don't live in this time" Anna said and clapped her mouth shut.
"And here I thought you were playing dress up" The boy teased. Anna huffed and walked away.
"Hey, where're you going?" the boy asked.
"I'm looking for something." She said.
"Maybe I can help?" He asked flitting from tree to tree above her.
"No thanks" Anna said as she transformed, turned invisible and leapt into the air.
"Wait up" The boy shouted and she felt something hook on the joint between her wing and shoulder.
"Hey" She growled as she became visible and tried to shake the boy off, who had the hook on his staff in her. The boy bounced around and laughed at Anna's effort to throw him off. She dove back to the ground, the boy giving a whoop as he held on like a bur. Anna crashed into the snow and transformed back as the boy tumbled along beside her.
"That was awesome" The boy said laughing. Anna just glared at him as she gathered fire in her hand.
"Hey" He said as the fire ball nearly missed him. In response he rolled up a snowball and blew on it, making it glow.
"Would you cut it out, I'm busy" Anna said as he threw the snowball at her. It hit her square in the face and she blinked as memories and feeling she hadn't felt in a long time begun to take over her. Laughing she scooped up snow and threw it at the boy who dodged and threw another snow ball at her. She chased after him laughing and throwing snowballs at him. Due to her training and magic she kept up with him leaping from branch to branch until they reached the edge of the forest and went into town. Anna didn't stop as she leapt from a tree branch to a roof of a house at the forest edge.
"Come one kid, that the best you got?" He asked as she leapt from roof to roof. As she made a leap of one roof he iced the edge of the next roof the girl jumped toward having scooped up a trash can lid along the way. Anna landed on the ice and slipped off, and the boy threw the lid under her as he formed a sheet of ice under her. Anna found herself sliding at breakneck speed down a sidewalk, the boy forming a path for her as they went, speeding in and out of traffic and around obstacles until with a final ramp Anna found herself flying into a snow bank.
"Hey kid, are you alright?" A voice asked as she dug herself out of the snow. She found herself staring into a pair of chocolate brown eyes.
"Yeah, I'm okay" She said as the boy helped her out of the snow. She looked around to find she was surrounded by crowed of children about her age. A blond boy with glasses a tall thin girl a dark skinned boy and a large and rather homely looking girl.
"Why are you dressed so funny?" The large girl asked.
"Everyone, may I introduce…um what's your name?" The boy asked.
"It's Anna" She said scowling at him.
"Hey, what's with the glare? I thought we were having fun?" He asked. Anna looked back the way she had come and saw that many points of her path wove in and out of large metal things with wheels that rolled up and down a black road.
"And people call me reckless" She muttered.
"So how do you know jack?" the boy asked.
"Who?" Anna asked.
"That would be me. Jack frost" The boy said offering his hand with a grin. Anna couldn't help but smile a little as she shook his cold hand. That sleigh ride had been fun now that she thought about it.
"So Anna, are you new in town?" The boy with glasses asked.
"I'm just visiting. Actually I'm looking for something" She said
"Really, like a treasure?" The brown haired boy asked.
"Exactly like a treasure. It's a magic stone that can control water" Anna said.
"Cool treasure hunt" The dark skinned boy said.
"So how do we find this treasure?" The tall girl asked.
"Um, well I think I'm in the right place" She said summoning her book, earning gasps from the children.
"How did you do that?" The brown haired boy asked.
"Magic" She said offhandedly as she searched for the information on the location of the heart of water.
"Um, let's see. The book says that it is located in a small town in the new world under a frozen lake that gave birth to the guardian of winter" She said scratching her head.
"Hey Jack, you wouldn't know anything about that would you?" The boy asked.
"You're the guardian of winter?" Anna asked skeptically
"And fun, don't forget fun" He said perching in a tree branch.
"Yeah, I may know the place. You kind of landed on top of it" He said and chuckled as Anna face palmed.
"Hey kid lighten up. It's not that far from here. So let's go find a treasure" He said and the other cheered. With Jack leading the way they trooped back toward the frozen lake to find a green and purple bird woman and a giant bunny waiting for them.
"Tooth bunny what's up?" Jack asked.
"I'm sorry Jack but we need to talk" The woman said softly.
"About what? Is this because of that chill I brought Sydney last week?" He smirked and the bunny growled.
"No Jack it's because of Anna" the woman said hovering over to her the bunny following her.
"It's so nice to meet you your highness" She said warmly.
"Ex…excuse me?" She asked stepping back.
"Don't be shy love. We guardians have been around for a while, long enough to know you're story and your sisters" He said
"Wait what's going on now?" Jack asked he and the kids having questioning stares.
"Your little playmate here, she's a princess, tried and true" The bunny said in a strange accent.
"You mean it, with like a castle and a crown and everything?" The tall girl asked excitedly.
"Um, I do live in a castle but I've never worn a crown…I mean my sister will when she's older, maybe, if my parents give her the job, and if she ever leaves her room" Anna rambled until a soft hand rested on her arm.
"Princess Anna, we also know you're looking for the heart of the infinity" She said.
"The what?" Anna asked.
"The heart of infinity, also known as the dragon's heart. Tell me lass; do you even know how powerful the heart really is?" The bunny asked staring her straight in the eyes. Anna stared back.
"I know it can grant my wish and that's all I care about" She said.
"Ay, and what would that be?" he asked. Anna was about to answer but stopped short. After everything she had found out, the simple answer of healing the rift in her family no longer seemed a good enough answer. A sudden noise met her ears, and from the way the bunny sighed he heard it to. Suddenly a large sleigh came into view and descending plowed to a stop in the snow pulled by eight of the biggest reindeer Anna had ever seen.
"Hello" a large voice boomed as an even larger man got out of the sleigh a small pudgy golden man floating out behind him.
"Ah princess Anna so good to see you" the man boomed. Anna looked at the sleigh, looked at him and a completely insane thought popped into her head.
"Santa?" She asked. The man's chuckle was all the answer she needed.
"You're real. I mean really real and not just a story. I mean I always knew you were real, but knowing that your really real" She squealed excitedly.
"Ah…ha….ha…Your highness always such a good girl" He said fondly patting her head.
"Wait. You knew me way back in my time which is like a few hundred years. That means you must know a lot of things about my future" She said.
"Anna, sweetheart, that's why we're here" the woman said.
"You aren't going to tell me about my future are you?" She asked. The golden man floated in front of her and golden symbols floated above his head. A flame a dragon a snowflake and others.
"That depends" The bunny said.
"On what?" She asked.
"On you coming with us" Santa said walking back to his sleigh.
"Please Anna. We need to talk" The woman said. Anna looked into her eyes and saw nothing but love and compassion. She looked back at the lake, at the heart that was so close.
"The heart of water is no longer there" Santa said seeing her gaze.
"We moved it ages ago. That book you're carrying is out of date" The bunny said.
"Then I guess I don't have a choice" Anna said and turned to other kids.
"Bye. It was really nice meeting you" She said.
"Nice meeting you to" the boy said.
"I'm Jaime by the way" he said.
"It's nice to meet you Jaime" she said. Anna turned and walked toward the sleigh and got in, Jack settling next to her.
"So you're really a princess?" He asked giving her a skeptical look. Anna stuck her tongue out at him as the sleigh took off.
Okay, so what do you think? Did I get the personalities right for the guardians? How was Anna's and Jacks interactions?
