On the same day, the cloudy sky was crossed by a fast-moving spot in the sky and a line of escaping lightning bolts followed a small spot speeding across the sky, Anders, as promised, headed north towards the rust-colored mountains to drive out the barbarians once and for all and drive them to their own home so that the scourge of savage chords would never again threaten the free world, so Anders, the man in the red shirt and brown pants, raced across the sky lit up by the powers of sparkling electricity, leaving an electric trail behind him, his green eyes scanning everything below, forests, mountains and great steppes where herds of wild horses roamed south.
Anders was rushing through the space of the sky and a strong wind was blowing his brown hair until suddenly everything stopped in place and it wasn't about the barbarians or one of their camps but something else entirely, Anders hovering high among the clouds focused his eyes and frowned because it wasn't he expected, not what he expected, Anders expected another fight, another great army marching westward, more chords, all the worst but not what was just free returning to their homes.
- they, or it's them, but how, it's not impossible, after all, someone like that doesn't let go, but on the other hand, fear is a great strength here, right away or fear too, yes, fear can be overcome with fear,!. Anders shouted, and the heavens suddenly pierced with great thunder.
Meanwhile, on earth, in the great steppes, after waking up, the four elemental spirits were again walking across the great steppes, trying to return to their home in the Enchanted Forest, a great rock giant was walking on the trampled grassy ground, causing slight tremors, and a small salamander sitting on his voice, the fire spirit gray Bruni looked curiously at everything around, and the blue Nokk walking beside him waved his water tail watching the world and the spirit of Gale wind blowing around them, so the four spirits returned to their homes freed by the barbarians themselves, but their march was stopped when thunder boomed in the sky two mighty thunderbolts, everyone, Nokk, Gale, Brunni and even the great giant trembled as they saw two thunderbolts in the sky followed by a small point suddenly rushing by.
Seeing something incomprehensible about the power of the element of heaven, even the great giant began to tremble and retreat, and the fear of the four spirits deepened when in less than a few seconds the spirit of the sixth element suddenly landed on the north side, showing its luminous form, and when the lightning stopped shining, the four spirits saw a man.
- you, but if you managed to escape, I, please don't be afraid of me. said Anders, standing with his back, which he did once when he met a water spirit on his way, and Nokk, seeing him, bowed his head and was the only one who did not run away at the moment.
- I know that you are afraid of me, I know, but I am not your enemy, my enemies are only barbarians. Anders said, still standing with his back until he felt a gentle touch on his right hand.
Anders looked behind him at the water spirit and Nokk poked him again in the hand, allowing himself to be stroked, while the other spirits, seeing how the man and their friend did not show the slightest hostility, on the contrary, cautiously approached the new friend.
The second spirit he trusted a lot was Gale blowing around until he stopped next to Nokk and Anders bowed his head to them.
- I don't want to hurt you, don't be afraid of me, and I want to help you, I'll take you to the Enchanted Forest, to your home, but now you're making a big circle. Anders said, showing the exact direction with his right hand, then a small gray salamander landed on his opening hand.
Bruni rattled turned around twice and looked the superman in the eye with his big eyes that could melt more than one glacier, except maybe the heart of a madman, but here Anders smiled at the little salamander and looked at the great rock giant who was the last to bow his head in a gesture friendship.
- oh it's amazing how you managed to escape, how, in a moment, I'll see for myself, stay here in a moment I'll be back, wait for me. said Anders, but Bruni, who was sitting in his hand, spun again and did not want to get down.
- well, I can take you, but when they are there and there is a fight, I do not know where I will hide you. Anders said, but instead of being afraid of a fight or whatever was left in the barbarian camp, he jumped a few times and rattled.
- a little madman, like me, well, we're going, but you won't be afraid?. Anders asked and Bruni quickly shook his head, now standing confidently and combatively in the hands of the man.
Anders smiled at the little salamander again took a few steps back and took off into the sky as his legs and back shone with pure thunderbolts, when it happened the other spirits were no longer afraid, instead they looked at the sky with great admiration, the great giant and the horse jaw dropped staring at the spectacle of thunder rushing past a small point in the sky, and Gale's blowing wind spirit swirled around the head of the great rock giant.
Anders was rushing the sky again, breaking through thick clouds and Bruni sitting in his hands was staring with great joy and with his tongue sticking out at the sight that the man, the spirit of the sixth element gave him, Bruni jumped from pure joy and fascination, landing on the man's red shirt and Anders, rushing further through the clouds, entered a momentary spinning motion, taking a small salamander in his hands.
- I see you like it. Anders said and Bruni squawked again, bouncing in the man's hands sticking out his tongue watching everything around him spin beautifully and fabulously.
All Bruni could do today was enjoy the moment, look at everything with his wide eyes and, lighting his flame quickly extinguished by the gust of wind hitting him, suddenly Bruni began to feel something else as Anders began to slowly fly towards the ground until his eyes showed the former anger because here in front of him Bruni again had the same place where he had been imprisoned indiscreetly long ago.
It was a barbarian camp, wooden houses and tents, some of them still standing, some of them destroyed when the four elemental spirits were unleashed, but apart from the empty buildings themselves, there was no one here, not a living soul, nothing, Anders stopped abruptly high above barbarian camp, unable to believe his eyes for a moment, he rubbed his eyes with his left hand in his right, still holding Bruni until, when he opened them again, he saw everything with one possibility, the only explanation.
- did they run away?. Anders asked, hovering over the empty camp.
- if so and it happened recently. Anders added, and Bruni confirmed his words with a grunt.
- since you confirm my assumptions, the traces must be fresh, I have to check it, east. Anders said.
Anders flew east again and on the edge of the deserted camp she saw many tracks on the ground, there were hundreds of them and they all led east, the smaller ones, but they all headed east, Anders, to confirm his guess, soared high into the sky again and rushed from eastward at dizzying speed, and Bruni, sitting in his arms, savored the moment again, sticking out his tongue and watching thick clouds touching his gray head.
- but it's true. Anders said as he stopped in a thick cloud, staring wide-eyed at the hundreds of marching barbarians, their figures fading over the horizon and everything they had brought with them.
Both Anders and Bruni started laughing as Anders laughed out loud Bruni grunted like a lizard jumping up and down in a man's hands and then Bruni poked Anders in the red shirt.
- I know, I know, it's time to go back, I still don't believe it, but it's really over, it's amazing how fear defeated fear, but most of all my madness, so it's time to go back, we have nothing to do but I need to check something else , All right. Anders asked, and Bruni nodded in agreement.
So hold on tight because it's going to be windy. Anders said and Bruni assumed a fighting stance and clung more tightly to the man's hand.
Anders raced through space again, cutting through darker and lighter clouds, flying straight towards the deserted barbarian camp, but he was not his ultimate goal, and Bruni, sitting in the hands of the man, enjoyed every moment again, sticking his tongue out and watching the space, the world around him until everything stopped again in sight of the barbarian camp, but this time Anders did not stop over the camp, Anders passed the deserted camp and stopped just above the great rusty mountains, before the pass and the place called the forge of the dark times, here on the hewn rock, with runes and broken there was a place of power made of black steel cages, but strangely today this place was completely gray, it did not show even the slightest flash or evidence of gathered power, Anders and Bruni in his hands, both for a moment watched this calm, almost empty place.
- apparently the enemies understood that their goal is no longer achievable, so let's go back, I'll take you to the Enchanted Forest and then we'll see. Anders said to the spirit of fire in his hands, Bruni rattled again, jumped up filled with joy and eager for new adventures, another flight in the sky.
- enthusiasm, and I like it, so hold on tight because it's going to be windy, now we're going against the wind. Said Anders and shot off into space taking the little salamander with him, this time as Anders flew away the place of power shone with great powers again, the four runic circles glowed with the collected essence power concentrating their full power in the central circle, now only the last fifth circle was turned off but everything could have changed, so much could have changed.
Anders, rushing across the sky and approaching the other spirits, made a great turn, made a full circle and landed on the ground before the remaining elemental spirits, while Bruni sitting in his hands was jumping happy from the trip he had taken with the man from another world.
- I knew you'd like it, and it's over the barbarians have escaped, they're gone, it's over, so come on, I'll take you home. Said Anders leading the three happy elemental spirits, and the fourth a small salamander that now sat on his head.
As the elemental spirits, blue Nokk, Gale blowing around and the marching stone golem followed the man, the sixth spirit and the spirit of fire sitting on his head, someone from an unknown place hidden behind the rock and bushes began to growl softly.
- so he also took the bait, now you have to wait for the right moment. Horgan said, putting the long telescope away from his eye, his blue eyes showing only great anger and pure hatred for the man from another world leading the way.
- you, soon you will lose, because even you can be deceived, you can't change the future, you can't change it, now you're like this puppet, you believe in something that doesn't exist, because I'm still here. Horgan added, putting the telescope to his eyes again and watching everything from the cover of brushwood and the high jutting rock.
- Chief, what's your plan then, you want to wait in the shadows. asked one of the berserkers hidden in the thick bushes with the other nine.
- we have no other choice at the moment, we have to wait for the development of events, but from today he is blindfolded, let him believe that I left, that nothing threatens them, and when we wait for the right time, this fool will understand that he cannot be in two places at once, it can't. Said Horgan, their golden long hair uncovered from their eyes, watching again with great hatred the walking man, the sixth elemental spirit of thunder.
Horgan had a contingency plan prepared in advance, but everything depended on the actions of his personal enemies, and the insidious plan engendered by so many today was the decisions of everyone in Arendelle, because the vision of the departure of the barbarians meant only one thing, the end of everything and returning home, and that was the most important thing. what Horgan was waiting for, what he wanted, and what he decided to use with complete severity.
Finally, in the afternoon, Anders brought the four elemental spirits to his great home, the Enchanted Forest stretched all the way to the Dark Sea, and it all started right there, where the four stone Menhirs stood, the symbol of the elements, this is where the rock giant, the water spirit Nokk, the spirit of the wind Gale rushed back to his home to enjoy each day again, peace and quiet, and Bruni, standing between the forest and the visitor from another world, did not know for a moment what to do, whether to return home or once again accompany his new friend.
Bruni squealed and walked closer to the man kneeling beside him, speaking in his unintelligible language, and Anders himself took him again and smiled sincerely.
- I don't know if I can take you with me to Arendelle, but I can promise you that at least tomorrow I will come back to you with the Northuldra tribe, you have my word, you sweet little candy. Anders said, stroking the little salamander's head.
Bruni grunted and jumped from the man's hands, ran into the forest, but before disappearing into its thicket, he looked back one more time and rattled to the human, his new friend, then ran towards the thicket of the forest, lighting his back with a small flame, and Anders smiled again seeing in those beings true freedom and purity, from fear and lies, those forces that easily corrupted people and the human world.
- it's really interesting, so the chip chose the right place, the best I could choose, not only did I find my real home here, extraordinary creatures, but above all the one. Anders said until he suddenly jumped in place.
- gosh, Elsa, she must be very worried, I shouldn't keep her waiting so long, I have to run, I have to hurry or her sister will try to rip my head off again. Anders said to himself and, shining with the power of thunder, took off into the sky, now racing south to Arendelle.
Meanwhile in Arendelle, through the city to the return where the poison sailing ships were moored, two brothers were walking, the elder Aldrich, in a brown uniform, scratching his head and black hair, talking to his younger brother, dressed in the same brown uniform, who directed his slightly embarrassed green eyes on the ground because today Hans felt something other than anger or dislike for Arendelle and the queen herself, after meeting Stangard, Hans saw what he could become, but despite fixing his mistakes in his heart, the same guilt still persisted.
- brother, please stop tormenting yourself so much, it's over now, by saving the queen and her sister you proved to everyone and to yourself that you are not what you used to be, and you are not like those wild people from the east. Aldrich said placing his right hand on his brother's left side.
- but I know how much I could have done, so much evil, on the other hand, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have seen what I was becoming, and of course, if it wasn't for our friend from the other world, cha. said Hans, and his condition immediately improved as he remembered the man from another world and who he was, how much he had done for everyone, and his interesting anecdotes from his own world.
- it's amazing that someone like Anders got into our world, when you get to know him like this, he's a really equal man, absolutely, our homie. Hans said, laughing under his breath as he remembered the jokes Anders gave them all the day before.
- such a very interesting man, but I don't want to share my knowledge about my world too much and it could revolutionize everything, Hans you saw that something luminous, as he called it. Aldrich asked, twirling his black mustache.
- it's called a telephone, a cell phone, or something like that. Hans said, recalling the moment when he and his brother were able to operate the unusual device for a while.
- just the phone, you've seen these photos, these machines, it's amazing, and yet he doesn't want to share knowledge about it and why?. Aldrich asked.
- brother, after all, Anders said why, everything slowly, in small steps, we are to reach new levels of development and what you call a machine, he calls a terrible weapon, you don't want to be the one who will take the war to a higher level, Anders was right, nothing feeds war more than knowledge , and knowledge also corrupts, let's better focus on what we have and now in place, oh look how cute it is. Said Hans entering the harbor when he and his brother suddenly passed by an unusual pair in gray clothes with a girl with red bandages, walking arm in arm Ryder and Ressa, the same Ressa once the leader of the barbarians and from yesterday a new tribal from the Northuldra tribe.
- it's really amazing how our friend's power changed everything, and opened their hearts, isn't it beautiful. Hans added, and his brother suddenly darkened.
- hey Aldrich is something wrong, don't tell me you're skeptical about their relationship.
- no, not that, but I'm worried about our friend, everyone says he went north to break the barbarians once and for all and drive them east, but it's late afternoon and so far I haven't seen or heard of him. Aldrich said, his brown eyes suddenly focused on his younger brother, who started laughing and stared up at the sky with his head held high, his short hair down.
- Hans, what are you laughing at?. Aldrich asked.
- from this, our friend seems to be coming home, look. Said Hans, showing how a luminous point was rushing from the pots of the night across the cloudy sky, and then it made a circle.
- it's him, he's back, quickly to the bridge, surely Anders has a lot to say. shouted Aldrich.
So the two brothers ran up the city, on the way meeting a black general in a green uniform, Destin, and accompanied by a woman in white and gray clothes, Halima, rushed with the two brothers to the bridge to meet the gathered Northuldran, their elderly Yelen, and Honeymaren, Ryder and Ressa , and the trembling Troll Chief Pabbie pushed in front of them.
Anders landed in the middle of the bridge and Elsa, leaving the castle, immediately started to run as fast as possible, her white hair was broken by the wind just like her white-blue dress, Elsa hugged her beloved with a strong hug that lasted for a good minute, and the golden-haired Kristoff in an earthen uniform was following her , accompanying him Olaf and Sven the brown reindeer and on the other side Queen Arendelle, mumbling something under her breath again today, directing her brown eyes to the ground, as well as combed brown hair, and green and orange dress.
For a minute of the game Elsa was hugging her beloved tightly there was no one who said come word and interrupted the moment until Elsa looked into the green eyes of her beloved and he greeted her with a big sincere and even slightly crazy smile.
- Anders me, I was so afraid, why you were gone for so long, what happened there. Elsa asked and Anders took a step back and spoke loudly to everyone.
- it's over, I was in the enemy camp, they fled, the barbarians fled, and the elemental spirits were released by them, I personally led the four spirits to the Enchanted Forest, it's over, really. Anders said, and a great cry of joy rose high, even Pabbie, the older troll and chieftain, began to jump, rejoicing at defeating the barbarians, even Ressa believed in the impossible as she kissed her beloved again, her blue eyes full of joy staring lovingly at Ryder's blue eyes, squeezing him tightly.
- I didn't expect it, really, my stupid brother finally met someone he couldn't beat. She said Ressa, come on, reason told her to be careful, but it's hope and faith screaming in her heart about the true end of all that is bad.
- so it's over, ha ha ha, I didn't think I'd hear such great news. Said Kristoff overflowing with joy who hugged Anna and spun her and himself around.
- so it's over, but doesn't that mean it's time to go home, I don't want that. Olaf said sadly, because come on Olaf was afraid of war, he didn't want to see anyone suffer, this is the current situation, gathering everyone in Arendelle made him love the current state of affairs, all his friends were here and today one piece of information has now made another change.
Sewn upon hearing the words of the snowman understood that this is truly the end, Aldrich and Hans looked at Destin, and Yelena then their seams met with the coming Queen Anne, and this day of end and parting was just beginning.
- so it's over, nothing stands in our way of returning home today, Aldrich, me, Olaf is right, even though everything was so terrible I liked it all. Hans said.
- me too bro, me too. Aldrich said.
- common misery brings people together. Honeymaren said, looking from the two brothers to her own brother holding his fianc e's hand.
- understatement, what happened taught us all so much. Yelena said bowing her head.
- so it's really over, but you don't have to hurry our home is your home, always open, always. Anna said as she too suddenly felt a modest pang in her heart.
- you can always count on our help, our houses are always open to you, always. Kristoff said, addressing everyone, trolls, Northuldra, and the gray-uniformed soldiers of the Kingdom of the Southern Isles.
- thank you for everything, and I guess today I found out about our friend from another world, Mr. Anders, I thank you for everything. Pabbie said as he bowed his head to the otherworldly man, but as soon as Anders focused his full attention on him even now Pabbie shivered slightly but completely unnecessarily.
- No problem, the main thing is that everything ended well. Anders said, and Elsa, who was standing next to him, pulled him back to her and looked into his eyes.
- Anders, tell me if you will go north with me to the Enchanted Forest today. Elsa asked looking deeply into the eyes of her beloved.
- always, I will follow you even to the end of the world, but there is no such end, because the world is round, and I promised it to the little salamander and other elemental spirits. Anders said and Elsa kissed him again.
As shouts of joy erupted throughout Arendelle, there was someone else standing at the far end, someone who was smiling insincerely for a completely different reason, and it was the man with two swords, the man in scale armor, the man with white hair, it was him, Brandon he laughed strangely and suddenly moved the city towards the northern gate, and as he left the city his full attention was directed to the pool of the night and the then-mentioned Enchanted Forest, which was the main goal of the Northuldra tribe.
- it's there, interesting, very interesting, now you just need to do the rest. Brandon said, his green eyes shining as well as his white teeth as a sneer appeared on his face.
- this is brilliant, just wait, and the money, as they say, will push itself, by itself, today patience is my greatest strength. Brandon said, then laughed again in an ominous way as he returned to the city where joy overshadowed some threat.
L
Everything seems so beautiful, peaceful, but it's only a black cloud hiding the truth, and the truth is only one and, what's worse, divided into two places, the steppes and Arendelle itself.
