Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Cold Fire. Enjoy the 2000-word chapter. I do not own Frozen; Disney and a few others do.
(Arendelle.)
Pyram sighed and looked off at the ground, being tired and unable to think of it now when it was all and done… He didn't want to think of what was going on when it came crashing down.
Pyram looked over the edge of the ship at Arendelle. He didn't wish to think of it now when it was all over.
He was too eager to get back to work, doing what he had to deal with for now… Pyram didn't even know what was growing now on his mind as she thought of what was as she paused.
Elsa was too eager to think of it now, she was a dangerous little queen and so was he… He had a lot more to try and figure it out now at the moment.
"Hmm, there were a lot of things to understand," Pyram stated as he sighed, tapping his foot on the ground.
Pyram seemed to be thinking of the next move with each little moment as he sighed. The king of Ignis guessed the trade deal would work out, neither he nor Elsa were fools and they did not have any ulterior motives.
They had laid bare what they wanted and what they expected from it all. He knew what would happen now at the end of the time being.
"The more time it takes to talk to Elsa? The more time the people back home must come to the idea this is the only damn way." Pyram muttered with annoyance.
He did not blame the people of his kingdom for taking time to comb the details of a deal with Arendelle, it was only smart that they believed it could end badly.
The problem was simple, they still had a lot of paperwork to deal with the idea. Pyram still could not wait for them to be done with it so they could get back to the deal they had been conducting.
He tried to ponder how to tell his people, even then he could have dealt with it… He was king, Pyram knew he was ruler of the kingdom and he would need to relax now.
"The more work we end up doing? The more I resent needing to be involved in this…. Even then? I do not know what is going on." Pyram thought as he sighed, not once eager to figure something out.
Being king was a double-edged sword. He had plenty of duties on top of being the one who had to make the tough calls, implying he was stressed was simply part of life for him.
Pyram at the end of it was something not even he could have done that was making him tired, each note he made only exhausted him more as he realized just how outdone he was now.
Such a thing was going to be enough to break him now hopefully. She did not know what was going on when it came down to it, she did not know what to see and deal with…
She did not know what was growing on his mind as of now, something being done and dusted now… It was a lot harder to figure out now.
Pyram was odd, and so was Elsa… Both were odd in different ways and both were going on now and for good… Something about it all just seemed to drive out the best in him… It made him eager to fight, eager to think… And even then? He acted without a simple amount of hesitation.
Still? Pyram seemed to be thinking of it all now as he relaxed… It was going to be something that needed to be dealt with for now and for good reason.
She and the people around them were all too easily figuring it out now. Elsa was eager to think of it and she was eager to help her people… Right now? She and he had plenty left to do… Plenty to figure out.
She did not know what was going on… Elsa seemed to think of it all when she seemed to be thinking of it properly.
"Something on your mind, your highness?" Pyram asked with a raised eyebrow. "Because I have a lot on mine… Like how to explain all this to them." Pyram stated as he looked over his army.
Pyram did not enjoy the habit of needing armed escorts… Not that he hated protection, but the crewmen of his fleet were willing to carry guns, something which did not help when it came to what was really on his mind.
She seemed to be eager to think of it now… She would not be able to stop it, she would not be able to think of it now, not when she could properly question it.
Granted, one part of her was simply at odds… Simply which needed to be done and dusted.
She could not do more than question herself, question every single option they had been able to do.
Pyram tapped a foot on the deck, jets of fire shooting from his feet as Elsa seemed to watch ice and snowdrop from her fingers and dance around her.
She paused to question what Pyram was thinking but she guessed she was able to think of it when it was all going to have done.
Pyram and Elsa both looked at each other and she hummed before she smirked at each other and then thought of what was growing on her mind. Elsa seemed to be happy with it all when she paused from her actions.
Elsa seemed to be done with it all as she finally cracked her fingers and looked to Pyram who simply glanced around in amusement with it all going on now.
Something about that all had made Pyram chuckle, a metallic chortle coming from the depths of his throat as he looked at her.
Fire and ice danced around their fingertips, snow and smoke began to dance all up and down their hands… Both had been on the end of their ropes… But they did not care much for now.
Pyram raised his hand as a gout of flame leaped from his fingertips… All his head was ringing… It was something of an odd little thing.
Pyram would laugh if his throat did not catch his voice. It all spoke of something chaotic and odd odder.
Elsa hummed, too much had been done… Far too much to deal with now and for a good reason.
Elsa hummed, tired and relaxed. She had no real idea as to HOW it would have gone on for so long… She had no idea as to HOW it could have possibly been done.
"You like to create things, don't you?" Elsa asked as Pyram hummed.
"I do… Should I not enjoy that ability to do something like this?" Pyram asked before he looked downwards at the ground.
She was quiet. Pyram looked at her as she hummed, clearly tired… Beaten down.
Pyram did not love the duties of being a king and he had said this very much to those who had been able to relax… Why? Simple, because it was fun… An enjoyable, fun, and relaxing.
Still? something about it… Something within it all had been harder and harder to deal with.
Now? Now he had been on the end where he had to watch someone deal with the duties of being queen. It stung as much as he believed it would have… Why? Because nobody wanted the weight of a crown atop their head, to have to carry an entire nation.
That idea had hurt him so vastly, it had stung so powerfully that even he of all people was disgusted and shocked.
People did not know what was going on at the time. He knew only of the pain that he had to do with it now.
He said he would have to relax… He would do nothing now but relax as he gripped her hand and tugged it gently, resting his thumb in the palm of her hand.
"If it helps? I dislike the weight of the crown as well… I do what I must for my people but I am conflicted with each step. This is not the path I wish to walk more and if I was able to do something about it all? I would be relaxing." Pyram stated with obvious annoyance.
She had a lot more to deal with for now. She, he, and everyone around them all had to break… She had to make sure that they did not and she would have her hands full with doing so on a massive scale like this back and forth, back, and forth.
It had to end. Pyram hummed to himself, more vexed with something beyond the pale than this… Granted? One would be unable to deal with it for now.
They had a lot more to discuss and both were thrown off by something they could not control it all now but they could control more than they needed to be used to now… An idea like this was a lot harder to think about than before.
They had a lot more to deal with for now as it came down to it as he seemed to think of what was growing for now.
Both times they had pushed the envelope and both times he had been too relaxed, now? Now he had been too tired to even relax, now he had to think of it all as a little game… Something within them.
Something had to try and figure it out now.
Elsa had to try and deal with it all for now as she thought of him as well. Both times had they brought of it all as he brought of it now.
Something within them both had been crashing down now and for good reason. Both times Elsa and Pyram talked at the time being as both looked downwards at the ground. They found it to be fun.
Pyram wanted nothing more than to think, then to ponder it all.
He knew more and more both ideas as to it… He had a lot more to try and understand… What was the queen of Arendelle? Who was she as a woman? She was a lot more interesting than she looked.
Though to be fair at the time? He knew that Elsa was an odd woman, he knew that she was a lot more to try and figure out now.
Both times they had encountered each other? Pyram was sure it was clear at the second, as they managed to relax.
Something within them both made him laugh as he walked back and forth across the deck. Both thought of a new move at this moment.
Pyram and Elsa looked at each other as they relaxed… They had to try and figure it out… Something about it all had to try and deal with it for now, they had been relaxed at the time being.
It felt less like he was dealing with something odd and more like Pyram was ready to scream, breaking into pieces now.
Pyram did not at all know what was going through the mind of the soldier they were to become now… He was a ruler; a king and it was something else.
They had a lot more to try and figure out as he seemed to think of it all at that moment and all moment.
Author Notes
Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out that the next chapter will be in 2-10 months and will be 900-6500 words along with showing more of both Elsa and Pyram bonding and setting up the main villain and such for the story. Until then? Lighting Wolf is out!
P.S The next chapter will be a bit delayed.
