The next day, Arendelle heard a sudden scream in one of the chambers, terrified Anna fighting an unknown enemy in the dream world suddenly woke up seeing the destruction of everything, suddenly when she opened her eyes, she saw her bedroom, cabinets, table, window overlooking the city and surrounding areas lands finally her eyes met the young girl from the pots of the night sitting next to her bed, black-haired in a gray outfit with familiar patterns.
- Honeymaren?, What are you, wait, what's going on. Anna asked, abruptly getting up from the bed in the same crumpled black-green dress.
- slowly Anna, be calm and maybe put something new on yourself, because you look tragic, and please don't be afraid because there's nothing to worry about, you have my word, I must be afraid because since yesterday my brother hasn't come back yet. Honeymaren said holding the surprised princess by her right and left hands.
- but what happened. Anna asked and Honeymaren got up and went to the window overlooking the unusual painting below.
- please put something new on yourself first.
- yes, yes. Already. Anna said, then quickly hid behind the screen by the wardrobe and changed into a blue dress with a green addition, finishing adjusting a small belt Anna went to the window and with big eyes saw the city of Arendelle, the port and the view that surprised her today, because she wasn't wearing that.
- soon fleet from the Kingdom of the Southern Isles, but like, brandon, provoked war, barbarians, Brandon warned me about attacking north and south, but you, fleet from the south, that means you managed to survive, win. Anna asked looking at Honeymaren with her big brown eyes as her brown hair trembled with uncertainty, Honeymaren smiled uncertainly because she didn't know where to start.
- Wait, Kristoff's back. Anna asked in a panic.
- or my sister, please tell me everything. Anna asked, her shifting eyes trembling in every possible way.
- you know, everything went very well, well almost, from what I saw, Kristoff is back waiting for you in the throne room and he's not alone, the past day was deeply felt by all of us. Anna wait. Honeymaren said, but Anna didn't wait for anything else, the most words flew out of her room like a shot arrow.
Honeymaren ran after the princess to the very throne room where a meeting was taking place, the leaders from the south and the north. The first of the leaders was the elder of Northuldra, Yelena, who kept reminiscing about the time gone by, the day gone by, and what had saved them all, a madman with the powers of heaven.
The second of those present was leading his soldiers, black-haired Aldrich in a brown uniform matching the color of his brown eyes, who eagerly talked to the black-skinned Destin Mattias in the green uniform of soldiers from Arendelle and Krostoff, who in the green uniform was now more listening to the conversation nervously scratching his head stroking his golden short hair and the only one who pretended to be absent here was Hans in a gray uniform, Hans preferred not to look at anyone who knew him from the times when he wanted to take over the power in Arendelle by trickery, the more his green eyes avoided the running princess with whom he had a sharp argument not so long ago, Hans he could only hide his hands behind the back of his blue jacket, directing his attention to the spy from the far eastern south, and Brandon, seeing the princess, the scale-armored man with short white hair immediately bowed his head, his green eyes fixed on the ground.
- Kristoff!. Anna screamed throwing herself at her beloved in a strong embrace.
- I thought, I was so afraid, how good that you came back so we managed, we managed to inform you before the attack of the barbarians, and not only the north, Northuldra. Yes. Anna asked looking at Kristoff and Yelena who bowed her head but her green eyes trembled slightly.
- wait, Aldrich, Hans?. Anna asked, looking at the two brothers, and for the first time showing no anger at the now silent Hans, for today he too had nothing more to say than to bow his head.
- oh yes, I saw the fleet, so it worked, the barbarians were defeated. Anna said looking into the brown eyes of her lover, but Kristoff, not knowing why, hugged Anne again and then took a step back not knowing where to start and his face showed great tension as well as everyone gathered in the great chamber.
- what happened, someone finally tell me something.
- something big. Honeymaren said.
- incomparable. Destin Mattias said, his voice trembling as he remembered the day before and the great battle that had taken place in the south sea and the coming of the Thunderer.
- Let me put it bluntly, when the barbarians attacked, we were doomed, but a man saved us all, single-handedly destroyed half the barbarian fleet, defeated them and drove them away, you know that crazy man, it's Anders. Kristoff said and Anna, who was listening to him, moved back to her throne because she didn't expect it.
- this madman, but how. How could he do that. Anna asked as her eyes began to tremble slightly.
- and not only down south, on the same day he saved us all, when the barbarians attacked and destroyed our homes, he came and saved us. She said Honeymaren, but her words, like Kristoff's words, only provided more questions than answers.
- but how, like one man. Anna asked.
I don't even know if he's human. Aldrich said, unable to explain to himself what he witnessed.
- I don't understand why no one wants to tell me anything, what happened, there and here, what happened, like him. Anna asked and Yelena appeared in front of everyone and conveyed what was almost impossible and beyond belief.
- this certain Anders, he wields the powers of the heavens, he wields the elements of lightning, thunder, I saw with my own eyes how he used this power to defeat a whole army of barbarians, he defeated them in less than a few minutes, even the enemy's axes did not hurt him, I don't know who he is, and where does he get this power, but someone like that with such power, I don't know what's going on here, I don't know. Yelena said, unable to fully understand what she saw.
- thunder powers, is it possible, but how?. Anna asked, sitting on her throne in complete shock because she hadn't expected that today, not information about the appearance of the sixth spirit wielding such great power as lightning and thunder.
- it was the same in the south, my lady, he went into action, followed by black clouds, he wiped out the barbarians and half of their fleet, it was as amazing as it was wonderful, so brave and crazy, this man is a madman, I don't know who he is for us today but without him all would be lost. Said Destin Mattias though he spoke of the mad man with respect for what he had done, his heart felt great fear of the visitor from another world.
- so he saved us all, my Kristoff, how stupid I was to argue with him, maybe he was more right, but, wait, Brandon, you told me that everything barbarians do is for great power, they want to steal elemental spirits to some forge to gain the power of heaven, but the power of heaven has already appeared, how!. Anna asked, shouting the last word as Brandon bowed his head again and short white hair.
- I am unable to understand it myself, no chronicle that has been found ever mentions that such a person appeared, or the emperor reached for power, but I know one thing, the barbarians will not give up until they reach for this power, but he can change everything. said Brandon, who already an hour ago gave everyone his knowledge and plan of the barbarians, including their leaders Ress and Horgan.
Everyone hearing the story about the old empire from a thousand years ago, and the emperor who wanted to capture the five primal spirits, wanted to use them to channel the power of the heavens and reach for immortality was something incomprehensible, because as it turned out in the old days people were very fluent in magic, being able to create such powerful a place that was the forge of the elements, the forge of the dark times, and now this relic of the past threatened everyone, but in those dark times, someone new appeared, someone who was neither a pawn nor a piece, it was what shook the whole board, and now everything was focused as to the five elemental spirits including the absent former queen.
- wait a minute, what about the elements, spirits, and where is my sister. Anna asked and everyone looked at the ground for a moment because the fate of some was known while the fate of the other was unknown to anyone but Honeymaren.
- before Anders came to the rescue, I personally saw how the barbarians captured all the spirits of the elements, leaving now two giants that they didn't need, that's all they did, but without the fifth spirit, without your sister, their plan is impossible. Yelena said giving wrong and right answers but now everything was focused on only one.
- wait, wait, where is my sister, where is Elsa, please tell me. Anna said as she got up from her throne and yanked Kristoff by the green collar of his uniform.
- We don't know where your sister is. Said Hans, reviving the current discussion for the first time, Anna looked at the familiar face and this time showed no anger or malice because her brown eyes were full of fear today.
- I know what happened to her. Honeymaren said.
- what happened to my sister, tell me please. Anna, more and more panicked, said and her blue dress began to tremble with her.
- nothing happened to her when the barbarians struck, Ryder and I were witnesses of the amazing, thunder, lightning struck, he, Anders in his right hand collected a thunderbolt so powerful that even the earth collapsed, then I saw Anders take your sister, Elsa was unconscious, and he flew north somewhere, I don't know why or why, but I believe he saved her, I believe, and I believe my brother Ryder will find her, that's why he ran after them. said Honeymaren, looking into the trembling eyes of the princess.
- but how, he kidnapped my sister, he, but what's going on here, what!, what to do, what to do. Anna said more and more panicked, first she heard about the thundercloak who saved everyone, her lover and chased away the barbarians now she heard something very strange again that she couldn't understand or put into words, finally some facts hit her, Anna suddenly looked at Yelena and Aldrich recalling the remains of words about their current position.
- Aldrich, tell me what you want to do next, do you want to go back. Anna asked, addressing her first words to the southern lord.
- not so far, I decided to stay here with my damaged fleet and soldiers, of course we made peace, because today I see who led us to this, and queen you have my word, we will not abandon you in difficult times, you have my word. Aldrich said and his younger brother rolled his eyes because he basically had a different idea, resentment for his failure kept coming back and Hans couldn't do anything else today but sign off on his older brother.
- we sent only one ship south so that our parents would know the truth, and since my brother wants to serve you today, my queen, I give you my word, we will not leave Arendelle until the day the barbarians are defeated. Hans said bowing his head which was surprising to many but not to the terrified cult and her thoughts wandering most to her older sister.
- thank you Hans, thank you Aldrich, for everything, Hans I forgive my harsh words, and thank you for everything. Anna said, and Hans, his eyes wide, lifted his head and looked confused into the queen's brown eyes.
- Yelena, listen. Anna said, now turning her attention to the elder Northuldra.
- the houses of Arendelle, from now on they are also your homes, I know you have lost everything, but not yourself, and I promise you until all this is over you will stay here as long as it is needed. Anna said giving Yelena her hands.
- thank you my lady, thank you, in a moment I will tell the good news to my relatives, my people. Yelena said bowing her head.
- I'll handle the logistics. Destin Mattias said.
- me and my brother will rebuild the ships, in a few days the fleet will be ready again. Aldrich said.
- you will not be alone, we will also be happy to help you. Kristoff said.
- but what about my brother, he stayed in the north. Honeymaren asked.
- I'll take care of that personally, I'll find him and my sister, since that madman, Anders, took my sister north, to the Dark Sea coast for sure, that's where we'll find them, I'll find them. Anna said, shocking many in the chamber.
- but no, my lady, you can't risk it, the barbarians may have stayed there. Destin said.
- Anna, please, you can't risk so much today, please, I'll take care of it myself. Kristoff said.
- I'll help too, that's why I'm here. Brandon said, standing at attention with curved bladed swords gleaming behind his back.
- I will go with you too, together with my soldiers, we will do it together. Aldrich said, and Anna suddenly found herself in a place where she could no longer refuse, one could say that Anna found herself in a dead end before the fait accompli.
- I'm going with you too, my brother. Honeymaren said.
- no please, you stay in the city, it's not an activity for children, for girls. Kristoff said but quickly regretted his words.
- oh, that's gonna hurt. Hans said to his brother.
- you treat me like this, as the weak one, like this child, huh!. Anna screamed, her brown hair standing on end in momentary annoyance.
- that's not the point, I don't want you to risk your life, I wouldn't survive it, please stay here, Honeymaren, you should stay here too your brother wouldn't want it, you don't have to risk so much, besides, it's not entirely clear whether Anders is on our side, Anna, you know how he is. Kristoff said.
- I know he's crazy, something like that, I've never seen someone like that before, but please, Kristoff, be careful. Anna said.
- but you won't convince me. Honeymaren said.
- maybe not him but me yes, please stay here with us, today you are needed here on the spot. Yelena said, and the words of the elder of Northuldra made Honeymaren look at the ground utterly defeated.
- me, why, all right, but please, find my brother. Honeymaren said.
- then it's decided, in an hour, me Aldrich and Brandon are heading north, Destin, you stay in town and personally oversee the preparations and works. Kristoff said.
- Yes, come on, I'd rather go with you, but on the other hand, I'll stay. Destin said, but his resolve was more focused on keeping an eye on the queen because Hans had been in Arendelle for two hours, and Destin expected a lot, the worst, of him.
So the meeting ended, Aldrich, Kristoff and Brandon left the palace, gathered twenty soldiers from the two armies together to form a party of forty horsemen and one man on a brown reindeer, and left Arendelle heading north to the Enchanted Forest and the Dark Sea coast, where he presumably departed Anders with unconscious Elsa.
Hans, under the watchful eye of Destin, returned to his men and ships carrying out repair work, erecting new masts and collecting new boards, while Destin together with Yelena and Honeymaren, as in the old days from a year ago, were working together in the city, accommodating new guests from the north in hotels and every a home that could accommodate families from the north. the current times of misery were even more connected by three peoples, the Arendelle people, the Northuldra people and the people from the Kingdom of the Southern Isles, but in the shadow of the unimaginable threat that were the wild tribes from the east, barbarian tribes, and something else that was probably the biggest mystery for everyone today .
They are left almost alone in their chambers Anna went to the window with a view of the whole city on the united three peoples who today found shelter and a new home here in Arendelle, come this view was refreshing and giving new hope brown eyes of the princess looked north where the last time her sister was seen, and the queen's heart trembled with fear and dread, for nothing could be sure after a madman who was a man from another world.
- why my sister, why you!. Anna screamed, but quickly raised her hair again when she heard a similar scream behind her.
Anna looked back and saw a startled little snowman with no nose and his carrot nose found in an open wardrobe.
- oh Olaf, I didn't mean to scare you, I, please, it's your nose. Anna said, pushing the carrot nose back into place.
- I know, what is happening now surpasses everyone, and I do not know what is happening here, constantly heard words about barbarians, I see many and beautiful things, I never knew that people were united by something so much as common misery. Said Olaf approaching the window and looking at the queen at the image of the city where three peoples united in a time of misery found their common language and home, shelter, rock and hope.
- yes, there is something in it, this madman was right, we are so predictable, but what to do. Anna said when her heart on the one hand rejoiced at the news of reconciliation and the end of the unnecessary, because provoked war, but on the other hand her heart trembled with fear and uncertainty towards her own sister.
- if only they found her, if this madman didn't hurt her, I wouldn't survive that, and he won't hide from me. Anna said, squeezing her hands tighter and tighter on the wooden edge.
- this he, madman, Anders, this. Olaf said, stumbling over the words and his eyes darting around, amusing the queen for a moment.
- such a crazy guy, he's got a lot of twists. Anna said, twirling her finger in front of her head, it was the moment when Anna stopped being afraid for a moment, but the fear quickly returned when forty horse riders set off on the horizon outside the city, going to the Enchanted Forest in search of her sister.
- quite a madman, and wielding so much power, is it true that he can really come from another world, I think he's talked about it once or twice. Anna said, trying to recall Anders' words, but the only thing that came back to her was the discussion she had had with the crazy man, and something that was now confirmed except for the one who had provoked the whole mutual conflict.
- Anna, something happened to you, you're so lost in thought. Olaf asked.
- i know, I still don't understand, maybe Anders was right about a lot of things, but I don't know, it's hard to understand the mind of a madman like that. Anna said leaning against the wooden edge.
- I would try, I would be able to understand him and even express myself like him.
I'd do it, I'd do it.
I'd be glad to talk to him.
I'd be happy to get along with him.
Maybe we're the same.
Maybe we're nuts.
Crazy souls.
We travel the world together.
For so many years.
Maybe it's me, come faithful.
Come mediocre and mortal.
But I can understand him.
I'll try.
Give me a chance and I'll understand it.
Give me a chance and I'll meet him.
I'm not afraid of him.
I'm not afraid of a friend.
Don't be afraid friend.
Crazy but friend.
Without him.
Without his help.
What would be.
He saved us all.
He saved you too.
He stopped evil.
He defeated the shadow.
Come on his action is crazy It is unknown Believe, trust.
Understand.
Olaf sang and Anna laughed looking at the always living snowman, but her eyes did not show confidence in the newcomer from no one knows where, the newcomer who was a madman as he described himself could do practically anything.
L
Only now everything slowed down for a moment to see the face of real evil, and something else, because who is a truly crazy man for everyone, a man who always sees the same, only evil in human hands, it will turn out.
