Author's notes

Silver -Thank you so much for your comments/reviews as well as the kudos over on AO3. No one has guessed who Marius truly, I will say that only one got my other choice for Marius before I decided to go another route, but the clues still work for who Marius is. For this chapter, not much was truly changed just a handful of editing and setting up for the future chapters.

Loki - Thank you for the reviews and kudos.

Chapter two

Elsa's point of view

(5 minutes before Bruno faints).

Elsa was growing annoyed with answering the letters for her hand in marriage and she just answered the second to last one. When her office door opened and Elsa glanced up to see her younger sister standing there with a grin.

"Elsa, I have an idea... well, Kai gave the idea, so I better go and thank him if you agree..." Anna rambled walking over to the desk and Elsa smiled at her younger sister.

"Anna, what is the idea?" Elsa asked and before Anna could reply, the sisters heard Olaf shouting their names and they looked at each other before running out of the office.

The sisters reached the ballroom and their eyes widen seeing the new baker Bruno out cold on the floor and Kai was walking in from the kitchen.

"Oh dear... I do believe that no one warned him of Olaf, well mainly Marius did not warn him" Kai stated and Kristoff came running in.

"I did not mean to hurt him... I just wanted to introduce myself" Olaf whispered looking down and upset and Anna walked over to him.

"It is not your fault, Olaf... Baker Bruno had not been warned about you, I bet you that he will be a new friend for you to visit... you like visiting the bakery to smell the new and amazing scents that Marius has thought up" Anna stated and Olaf smiled.

Kristoff helped Kai get the lanky man to a sitting position and Kai left towards the kitchen to sort out a light meal for the group. Olaf went over to Kristoff, who simply kept an eye on Baker Bruno, while Anna went over to Elsa who was watching the kitchen door.

"You know Elsa, I saw the blush when you and Baker Bruno met the other day, something about him caught your eye" Anna stated with a teasing smile and Elsa looked to her sister in surprise.

"I did not blush" Elsa replied as a soft red formed on her cheeks and Anna smiled.

"Elsa, it is okay to like someone, I now know that I was in the wrong and truly in over my head with Hans... I got caught in his charms and well... he was the first guy to like me... that I thought liked me" Anna explained and Elsa looked at her sister before sighing.

"Anna, I can not just see anyone... I am queen and I have power over snow and ice... I have resigned myself to be single, I was in the office earlier answering many letters of hands in marriage, telling them no... yet in a bit of a nicer way... however there was one I wanted to throw to Marshmallow to deal with" Elsa explained and Anna looked at Elsa.

"Oh?" Anna asked softly and Elsa sighed.

"It was a lord from Weselton..." Elsa started and Anna cut her off.

"Say no more, I understand and honestly I never want to think about Weaseltown or anyone from there" Anna replied with a disgusted look and Elsa giggled.

"I agree" Elsa whispered before she looked over to Bruno and then looking away.

"I know you, Elsa... you might have closed your heart away... but your heart is not frozen and that there is a guy out there..." Anna glanced to Bruno "that you truly will fall for... one that won't use you for your title or power" Anna stated firmly and Elsa smiled at Anna.

"You truly are amazing, Anna, never lose that" Elsa told her and Anna smiled at Elsa.

"So sorry it took so long to get the smelling salts, they had been misplaced" Kai stated as he entered the ballroom and Elsa looked over to him.

"Kai, I should wake him up..." Elsa said softly causing Anna to smirk as Elsa walked over to Kai.

"Are you sure?" Kai asked and Elsa nodded as Kai handed over the small vial of smelling salts.

"Olaf, could you stay out of sight just till Baker Bruno wakes up and is calm enough to meet you" Elsa told the snowman and Olaf pouted before nodding and headed upstairs and behind a wall.

Elsa opened the vial and pulled one of the tablets out, Kristoff held out his hand and Elsa handed him the vial before she held the small tablet under Bruno's nose.

"Baker Bruno?" Anna called out softly and there was a groan

"Me duele la cabeza" Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Kai looked at each other in confusion at the foreign words "Donde?" Bruno opened his eyes and he jumped to his feet before he winced "your majesties... what happened?" Bruno asked slowly sitting back down and Anna looked at him in concern.

"What language were you speaking?" Anna asked curiously and Bruno blushed before running a hand through his hair.

"Spanish... it is my native language, while English is my second language" Bruno explained and Kai looked impressed.

"I had been wondering what your accent was, when we met last week" Anna told Bruno and he smiled at her.

"Did-did you catch what I said?" Bruno replied and Anna looked to Elsa, who had a slightly better grasp of different languages.

"Me duel la ca.. cabe..." Elsa got out roughly and Bruno nodded.

"Me duele la cabeza? Was that what I said?" the group nodded "it means I have a headache..." Kai rushed off to the kitchen "was there anything else?" Bruno asked as Kai came back holding a glass of water and a small vial.

"Here you go, it will help ease the pain of the headache, best drink the vial first then the water just to give your mouth a wash out" Kai explained and Bruno nodded with a wince before doing as Kai told him.

"Thank you for that..." Bruno replied and Kai smiled at him.

"Kai, I am the overseer and steward of the castle" Bruno smiled at him before handing the glass over and Kai took it back to the kitchen.

"And to your question before Kai came back... I think you said something like donda? I think" Anna replied looking at Elsa and Kristoff who nodded and Bruno smiled at her.

"Donde... which means where..." Bruno got a thoughtful looked on his face "if you want, I would be happy to teach you Spanish, the three of you" Bruno offered and Anna grinned as Elsa nodded.

"I will be fine with just the basics" Kristoff stated and Bruno nodded at him.

"That would be awesome" Anna said with a smile and Kai came out with a cup.

"Chamomile tea, to help calm you" Kai stated and Bruno nodded his head in thanks.

"Thank you" Bruno replied before taking a small sip and smelling the light scent hitting his nose.

"Can I ask what caused you to faint?" Kristoff asked wanting to know what Olaf did and Bruno took another slip of the tea with a small smile remembering home.

"I remember entering the ballroom and there was... there was a voice and when I saw no one the voice said 'I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs' I glance down and there was a live snowman... then I woke up with you all here... sorry if it sounds crazy" Bruno stated and he looked up to see Anna looking at him.

"There is a walking and talking snowman named Olaf here..." Bruno looked shocked and was about to say something when Anna continued "but before you say anything please let Elsa and I explain from the beginning and how Olaf came to be" Anna pleaded with him and Bruno nodded.

"That is fine, I think I am mainly in shock from everything... I know roughly what happened at Queen Elsa's coronation from what Marius has been able to tell me... but he does not know all of the events" Bruno replied and Elsa looked down as Anna grabbed her hand and gave her older sister a soft smile.

"I guess I should start at the beginning... I was born with my powers... which shocked my parents and they wondered where they were from... they never found answers and then Anna was born... " Elsa had a small sad smile "once Anna learned to walk and of my powers, she would beg me to play late at night and from the time when I was 5 and Anna was two, we would build a snowman which we named Olaf... Anna would draw images of Olaf during the day, while I began to learn of my future duty, however everything changed when I was 8 years old and Anna was 5 at the time..." Elsa paused from grabbing a glass of water and taking a drink.

"Do you want me to continue?" Anna asked softly and Elsa shook her head.

"She asked me to build a snowman... we went down to this very ballroom and we were having fun, but everything got out of control when I slipped on some ice and my power hit Anna in the head... it caused her to have a small white streak in her hair... well... from that moment our relationship it was forced to change, it was not the same for many years, but Anna kept bringing pictures of Olaf to my door seeing as I locked myself away from the world... however the last time she brought a toy she made and then about 2 years later..." Elsa stopped and she hugged herself unable to go on and Bruno felt his heart go out to the young woman as Anna hugged Elsa.

"Our parents died and it was the last time I knocked at Elsa's door in hopes of seeing my sister and mourn our parents with her... but Elsa never came out of her room and I was left to either lessons or just sitting in our portrait library..." Anna had a smile on her face "it was not till 3 years later on Elsa's coronation that I saw Elsa next and even then it was so awkward... I watched as the gates were opened and I went out to explore the village, there I met..." Anna clenched her hand before taking a breath "I met Prince Hans, who was nice to me and I fell for his charm and looks... then during the coronation ball, Hans proposed and I was excited, so I had to go and tell Elsa and to get her permission... well things happened and Elsa's power over ice and snow was revealed to the court... I remember being in shock yet there was no fear..." Anna stopped and Bruno looked at the two sisters.

"So that was the cause of the eternal winter, Marius told me about" Bruno said softly and Elsa looked ashamed.

"You know of that" Elsa whispered looking down and Bruno nodded.

"Marius did not know the full story, I know there is more, but I can relate in a small way... I will tell you another time, but please do go on" Bruno said softly and Elsa swallowed before she nodded.

"I ran up to the North Mountain..." pointing to the tall mountain seen in the window "I decided to test my power... to see what I could truly do and I did not realise that when I recreated Olaf, I gave him life and then a few hours later, Anna found me with Kristoff, who had Olaf with them and well seeing him was a surprise to me and truly made me wonder more on what my powers were capable of" Elsa explained and Bruno looked at her in amazement.

"That is incredible..." Elsa blushed "for your first testing of what your power could really do, you are amazing and..." Bruno replied before he stopped and looked down turning red and Elsa smiled causing Anna to look happy.

Anna could see that there was something connecting her sister and Bruno, but she was not sure as to what it was just yet.

"Thank you Bruno... there is still so much to learn about my power... my gift... I had always thought it a curse cause of what I did to Anna... all those years ago and about a year after, my father gave me gloves to help me conceal it, don't feel it... don't let it show" Elsa replied looking at her hands and Bruno looked pained then took a breath before he looked to Elsa.

"You know, I wish... I could have done that with my gift..." everyone looked at him shock "I can see the future..." there were doubtful looks and Bruno sighed "I could show you, I just need sand, a pile of leaves and a match" Bruno replied calmly and Anna looked to Elsa then to Kai.

"Kai, could you get those" Anna asked and Kai nodded still with a doubtful and slight mistrust look now towards Bruno believing that he was lying.

"Of course, your highness" Kai answered and he left the ballroom.

Anna studied Bruno's face and frowned, her thoughts going back to before and wondering about what the connection was and now wondered if Bruno was in fact telling the truth.

"Where were we?" Anna asked and Elsa frowned.

"How did Kristoff come about to meeting you, your highness?" Bruno asked and Anna blushed as Kristoff rubbed his head.

"I came across Anna in Oaken's Trading Post, which is about half up the mountain... he is a friendly guy... anyway I entered covered in snow, wanting carrots for Sven... my reindeer... I also wanted two other things... a pick-axe and rope... after I left, Anna came running out with the rope, pick-axe and carrots which were in a sack... she wanted to go up to North mountain to get Elsa to stop the eternal winter that was slowly setting" Kristoff explained with a small smile towards Anna, who smiled back to him.

"After I got Kristoff to agree to take me up to North Mountain, well things happened and a bit later as we walking, Kristoff and I started hearing someone talking, but we could not find the voice and then Olaf appeared, I screamed and kicked off his head which Kristoff caught and after calming down and realising who Olaf was, remembering my childhood, I gave Olaf his carrot nose" Anna said with a smile and Bruno looked around.

"Where is Olaf now?" Bruno asked and before anyone could answer, Olaf came jumping down the stairs.

"I am sorry that I scared you, but I love meeting new people" Olaf stated as he came closer and Bruno smiled at the snowman.

"It is alright... now that I know how you came to be, I am happy to meet you as well" Bruno told him and Olaf smiled.

"So... just wait till you meet Marshmallow and snowgies" Bruno realised an eyebrow "my brothers and sisters... do you have siblings?" Olaf asked and Bruno looked down clenching his hands.

"I do... but... I left them back at my old home, I felt unwanted and at times just there to be used for my gift of foresight... I kinda caused a bit of trouble at my sister's wedding... when I only wanted to help" Bruno explained releasing the tension in his hands and Elsa looked at Bruno curiously.

"How many siblings do you have?" Anna asked curiously and Bruno smiled sadly.

"Two sisters, we are actually triplets, I am the youngest and my sisters are Julieta, who can heal people with food..."

"That is so cool and helpful" Anna replied with a smile and Bruno nodded at her.

"Julieta... is my favourite sister... while my other sister Pepa and I kinda clashed... she can control the weather through her emotional state; such as happiness causes warmth and sunshine, whereas frustration and anger causes storms and strong rain..." Bruno explained and Anna glanced at Elsa who glanced back.

"Can she create snow though her emotions?" Elsa asked with a tilt of her head and Bruno frowned before shrugging.

"Maybe... but I have never seen it, I know she can create a hurricane... seeing as I accidentally caused her more worry and stress which in turned caused me to leave" Bruno revealed and Kristoff raised an eyebrow.

"Now why did you do that?" Kristoff asked and Bruno sighed before looking down to his hands.

"I could see that Pepa was pacing while trying to keep being happy, I wanted her to let go of her emotions, I could see the love she and Felix had, I knew he adored her... so I went over to her and told her... told her that it looks like rain... but that back fired and I left as the hurricane started, I went back to the house grabbed a bag, wrote a letter and left as the reception was happening" Bruno explained and Anna hugged him while Elsa looked at him.

"You feel that you are a curse... don't you?" Elsa whispered and Bruno looked at her.

"Yes and... I feel like a freak due to what happens when my power is triggered to show the future" Bruno replied and just at that moment Kai entered with the supplies that Bruno said he needed for his power.

"Here is a bag of sand, some leaves and a match box" Kai stated and Bruno got to his feet before looking around,

"Would it be alright to do it in here? Just move the furniture to the walls" Bruno requested softly and Elsa nodded before sending the furniture sliding away to the walls on ice.

Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Kai and Olaf watched as Bruno pour the sand in a large circle then grabbing the leaves and putting them into four small piles in a square well the points of a square and then the remaining leaves he placed in the middle, then he grabbed the sand again and pour some over the four points. After pouring the sand, he made a small hole to reveal the leaves beneath and then he sighed before looking to the group.

"Who wants to see their future?" Bruno asked looking at each person and Elsa stepped forward.

"I will" Elsa stated and Bruno nodded.

"Step carefully, also pick up the train of your dress" Bruno stated and Elsa smirked and before Bruno's eyes the dress came just above Elsa's ankles and Bruno looked impressed.

"That is truly impressive, your majesty" Bruno stated and Elsa nodded at him.

Everyone watched as Elsa sat down opposite Bruno and watched as he lit the matches lighting each pile on fire.

"Elsa?" Anna called out with concern and Bruno looked at her.

"It will be alright..." Bruno then looked back to Elsa "but your majesty, I suggest you hold on, it is about to get windy" Bruno stated offering his hands out and Elsa gently took them and to her shock, Bruno's eyes turned emerald green glowing with power, which was not seen by the others.

The sky grew darker as an emerald light hit each of the piles of sand, Kristoff moved Anna to behind him watching in awe and then before their eyes a dome encased the two causing Anna, Kai, Kristoff and Olaf to jump back in shock as emerald light flashed on the dome walls and wind picked up outside of the dome causing Kristoff to cover Anna, yet holding her so both could watch Elsa and Bruno.


Casita
Encanto, Colombia

Alma was walking pass Bruno's door and from the corner of her eye, she gasped as the glow appeared and became brighter. She placed a hand over her heart and placed her other hand on her son's door.

"Brunito" Alma whispered with relief and she wondered why he was using his power.

"Mama, are you alright?" Julieta asked coming up the stairs being careful with her pregnant belly and she walked over to her mother.

"Bruno... he is alive and he used his power..." Alma muttered as she and her eldest daughter watch the door go back to plain wood.

"He will return, when he is ready" Julieta whispered rubbing her mother's back and Alma nodded.

"I know he will, but the question is when" Alma whispered and the two left the door.


Back in Arendelle

Inside the dome

Elsa was amazed to see the power that Bruno held within and she watched as the circle pf sand staring to blow softly and then four small piles was gathered into the dome and then she saw them, emerald images started to flash in the wall of sand and Elsa's eyes widen seeing the different images flash on the wall of the dome.

Elsa could not talk seeing different scattered images and soon the dome disappeared and there in Bruno's hand lay plate of emerald glass.

"Do you want to see this?" Bruno asked looking at the emerald plate and Elsa nodded and Bruno handed it over.

Elsa gasped as she saw the image and then she looked to Bruno as tears formed in her eyes.

"Elsa... what is the image?" Anna asked worried at seeing tears form in her sister's eyes and Elsa just kept looking at Bruno.

"Can this truly happen?" Elsa asked with worry in her tone and Bruno nodded.

"It is one possible future... I have come to understand that there will be choice to make... but it may be a choice that is out of your hands, I best... I best go back to Marius, I have a feeling that he could be worried about me taking so long to return" Bruno replied and he got up while Elsa sat looking back at the image.

"Bruno... I am sorry about the slight mistrust..." Kai started and Bruno waved him off.

"I understand and I can see that you care deeply for the Queen and Princess, they are lucky to have you in their corner... if you excuse me... " Bruno ran out of the castle leaving the mess of sand in his haste to escape and also to get back to work.

Elsa looked to Anna, Kristoff, Kai and Olaf with a stern look in her eyes.

"I... we are not to let anyone know of his gift... people will hunt him... or even seek out his family... Anna could you and Kristoff clear up the mess..." Anna nodded still looking concerned to the emerald glass in her sister's hands "Kai, could you please get a few bags of sand here to the castle and place them in the basement" Kai nodded and left the ballroom as Elsa looked to Olaf "Olaf, you must never tell anyone what you saw here today... you are good at keeping secrets... but this is big one that you must keep to yourself, do you understand?" Elsa asked as Olaf nodded.

"I understand, Elsa" Olaf answered seriously and Elsa smiled at the snowman.

"Elsa, what is the image?" Anna asked and Elsa looked at her before frowning.

"I will show you later, I promise... I need to gather my thoughts" Elsa explained before she left without another word and headed up the stairs.

Once she entered her room, she closed the door and went over to her window seat. She took a deep breath and looked at the tablet again.

There in emerald glass with white outlines was her frozen in place and Elsa felt fear seeing the image thinking that her power turns on her. Then Bruno's words entered her mind.

"It is one possible future... I have come to understand that there will be choice to make... but it may be a choice that is out of your hands" Bruno had told her and she swallowed before running over to her old chest of memories which lived in her wardrobe and softly placed the image between old clothes.

"That will not be my end" Elsa stated calmly as she closed the chest and then the wardrobe doors.

"Now comes the tests, I hope they will be ready for it" a golden figure whispered before looking out over a small lake to a hidden shadow with glowing silver eyes.
