Hey, guys, here's the unlucky Chapter 13. It's unlucky for the characters, not for you all. This will be confusing, but things will clear up in the next chapter.


Three days after Hans attempted assassination of Queen Elsa, Brynn still lay unconscious. Indi knew it was probably better that way. The healers had given Brynn drugs to keep her sleeping, since if she were awake, she would be in extreme pain. Indi had been stabbed with a knife in the shoulder, so he knew it was no picnic.

For three days, Brynn had gone without food. Indi managed to get water into her, but nourishment was needed just as much. All the genetically altered children had abnormally high metabolisms, so they needed to eat regularly. The best Indi could do was to dissolve substances in water, such as sugar, then gently ease them down her throat. He took this task very seriously, even so much that he himself hadn't eaten in three days as well.

The boy spent most of his time in Brynn's room (she was moved there once she was stable), where he stood guard over his friend, watching for any problems. Indi was careful to watch anybody who came into the room with a iron gaze, his eyes piercing into their very soul, or so the healers would describe it. Every action, every motion was watched critically.

On the third day, towards the end of the day, Elsa payed Indi and Brynn a visit.

The queen softly knocked on the door to Brynn's room, and listened for any acknowledgement that she may enter.

"Come in," came Indi's voice, deep and gruff from lack of use.

Elsa opened the door silently and stepped inside. Indi made no motion to look at her, his gaze fixated on Brynn.

"Hello, Indi," Elsa said, gently shutting the door before making her way over to the bed, upon which Brynn lay. "How is she?"

"Her breathing is better," Indi said. "Her fever broke about three hours ago."

"That's good," Elsa said, kneeling next to Indi.

"She's malnourished though," Indi said. "Our metabolisms are faster than that of the average human's. We need more food that what is expected. I've been getting sugar and tea into her, but she needs meat. She's primarily a carnivore, so it is imperative she gets animal tissue in her systems. The best I can do is give her milk."

"She should wake up soon," Elsa said, placing a gentle hand on Indi's left shoulder. "You need to take a break, Indi. I can't stand to see you like this. I know you want to make sure she's okay, but this isn't healthy. You need to get out. Get some fresh air."

"I have the window open," Indi said pointedly, gesturing to the ajar structure, which was letting a light breeze into the room.

"That's not what I mean," Elsa said, rising. "You're invited to Court. I urge you to come."

And with that, the monarch left Indi in the near silence that was only disturbed with the shallow breathing of the injured girl next to him.

Maybe I should get out he thought pensively. If he left Brynn, however, something might go wrong. Owen would watch her, Indi knew that much.

He rose and walked over to the window, sticking his head out. He called for Noctem, who lept up onto the balcony with light feet. He told her what she was to do: stay in the room, and guard Brynn.

Indi left the room shortly after. He made his way down to the throne room, where chairs were set up in rows, with an aisle running up the middle of the room. He took a seat in the front row, so he could clearly see the entire room. Soon, people began filing into seats, filling the room with a large crowd.

Once everyone was in their seats, the crowd quieted and rose as Elsa walked out from a room that was to the side of the primary throne room. Everyone bowed respectfully, and waited for their queen to settle in her throne before seating themselves.

Elsa's hair was in a braided coil on top of her head, the way it was on the day of her coronation. She wore a green dress with a long string of fine, golden chain necklace that trailed down and around her breasts, and stopped at the bottom of her ribcage. She wore a slight display of makeup: some simple blush on her cheeks and a gentle eye-shadow that contained small, golden flakes.

Elsa stole a quick glance at her male friend, pleased to see that he made the choice to attend.

Indi caught up with Elsa after court.

"Elsa," Indi said, briskly walking up to her. "I need to you ask you a favor."

"Yes, Indi?" Elsa asked, smiling gently as the two walked gently down the hallway.

"I need to pay a visit to Hans and his men," Indi said grimly. "They should know who they are dealing with, though I'm sure I made that abundantly clear three days ago."

Elsa thought for a moment. "What will you tell them?"

"What possible fates await them," Indi said. "They tried to kill you, Hans threatened Anna, and Brynn got shot in the shoulder."

"Indi," Elsa said. "I know you want them to be gone..."

"An extreme understatement, but, essentially, yes."

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't let you harm them." At Indi incredulous look, she explained. "They aren't from Arendelle. If I let someone hurt them, it could stir up trouble. Not to mention, though he certainly doesn't deserve the title, Hans is royalty. If I let something bad happen to him, a war could break out."

Indi sighed. She was right, no matter how much Hans deserved to be eaten alive, regurgitated, the eaten again.

"But, we may pay them a visit, if you'd like."

Indi gave a curt nod, his face serious.

"Follow me." Elsa turned down a hallway and descended down a flight of stairs, leading the boy to the dungeon. The pair came to a heavy, wooden door, which was guarded by a giant of a man, who bowed deeply at the sight of Queen Elsa.

"My queen," the man said as he opened the door.

Elsa nodded towards the man and led Indi down the spiraling stone staircase. As they descended, Indi felt the air became cool, dank, and clammy. The conditions messed with his senses, and there was the overall scent of decay that continued to bother him.

The pair entered the main room, where lines of cells in multiple hallways were connected by a primary corridor that made the whole setup look like a blocky form of a garden rake. Elsa led Indi down the first hallway to the left.

"These two put up a bit of a fight," Elsa said, gesturing to the two cells. "We were able to get them into their cells after restraining them."

Indi kneeled down, giving both men a hard glare. One man shrank away, remembering that the boy in front of him could turn into a white beast and consume him easily. The other man stood his ground, his hard face staring at Indi with a steely gaze. Though he did not look intimidated, Indi saw fear in his eyes.

Elsa led Indi pass the next cells, and each man shrank back in fear as the Ice Queen and the boy who turns into a gigantic monster passed by.

"Here he is," Elsa said, stopping in front of the last cell in the row.

Indi looked into the cell and saw Hans sitting on the hard wooden plank that served as a bed. The prince stared at Indi, first in fear, then in anger.

Indi grabbed the bars on the cell door, literally rattling Hans' cage. "Listen here, Hans. You should know that Queen Elsa is extending your life. If it weren't for her talking some sense into me, you would currently be in the process of being ripped to shreds by six-plus-inch long teeth and claws. I'd be grateful if I were you. Your status as foreign royalty is the only thing standing in the way between living and being a side dish." Hans looked at Queen Elsa, who stood silent as a statue. She nodded slightly, answering Hans' unspoken question of whether what Indi was telling him was true or not. "You are at her mercy, Hans. Your parents and twelve older brothers have since been contacted, and are coming to meet with us."

Indi released the metal bars, and turned on his heel to leave. Elsa glanced once more at Hans, and followed her companion.

Back in the halls of the castle, Indi leaned against the wall, pinching the bridge of his nose, his eyes closed.

"I just don't know," he said with a long sigh.

"About what?"

Indi released his nose and opened his eyes. Elsa was standing slightly to his left, her arms crossed in front of her chest, a worried look on her face.

"Hans... Brynn... life in general."

Kai came around the corner, surprised to see Indi with the queen.

"Queen Elsa," he said, bowing.

"What is it, Kai?"

"The ship with the ambassadors from the Southern Isles has come, along with the king and queen."

"Alright," Elsa said. "Indi?"

"I'm coming," he said, straightening. "But first, I need to check on Brynn."

"Alright, but hurry." Indi curtly nodded.

Aboard the ship, the King Charles of the Southern Isles watched the approaching landmass.

"My king," a servant said. "We will be docking shortly."

"Excellent," the king said. He was not in the mood for small talk.

After a moment, Queen Isabelle approached her husband. "I wonder what Hans has done now."

"With that boy," King Charles said "No one knows until it has been told to them."

"Brynn's fine," Indi declared, joining Elsa and Anna at the docks. "She's seems like she's just sleeping. I gave Noctem a break from her duties. But Brynn should be okay."

"That's good," Anna said.

As the ship drew nearer, Indi could make out the people on the ship. "So, what are the royals of the Southern Isles like, essentially?"

"Well," Elsa said. "When we first met them officially, King Charles seemed like a very stoic man. However, such is understandable when your son tried to murder foreign rulers. Queen Isabelle seems like a slightly older version of Anna, however."

Indi nodded, satisfied with the response he'd been given.

The ship finally docked, and a servant introduced the royals on board.

"Introducing King Charles the Second and Queen Isabelle of the Southern Isles!" A man and woman walked down the gangplank. The man wore a green suit with golden embroidery in twisting design along the length of the lapels, and a magnificent crown atop his head. To the man's left, the woman wore a pink dress, her head graced with a small tiara, also fashioned from gold.

"Greetings, Queen Elsa and Princess Anna," King Charles said.

"And to you, King Charles and Queen Isabelle," Elsa replied. "How have you been?"

"Better," Queen Isabelle said. Glancing over she, noticed a young man, no more than a boy, looking at the two pairs of royals greeting one another. The boy wore black armor, and on his forearms were two thick black sleeves that were unconnected to the sleeves of his shirt. His chestplate had the skeleton of the head and torso of what she could only describe as a dragon. He had a pleasant smile on his face, and a kind twinkle in his eye when he saw the queen examining him.

Elsa noticed Queen Isabelle looking off to her left, so Elsa glanced behind her and saw Indi standing there, his hands folded pleasantly in front of him, a gentle smile on his face.

"Oh," Elsa said, mentally kicking herself for forgetting to introduce Indi. "King Charles and Queen Isabelle, I'd like you to meet Indi. He's been living with us for the past year."

Indi stepped forward, bowing dutifully before the foreign dignitaries. "It's a pleasure to meet you both."

"The pleasure is all ours," the king said. He already liked this youth.

"There is something you should know," Elsa said. "We've had some... new residents move into Arendelle recently."

"Immigration is always good," Isabelle said.

"That's not exactly what I mean."

Then the ground started to shake, small tremors vibrating the cobblestones.

"What is that?" King Charles said worriedly. A blasting, shrieking roar echoed about the harbor. Elsa and Anna grimaced, while Indi glared and turned to the direction on the roar. Down a street bounded Lapsus and the raptors from Indi's pack, the group noticing their leader and roared, rushing the group.

"Indi..." Anna said.

"I got it," the youth said calmly, if a bit exasperated. He strode forward, towards the oncoming predators.

"What's he doing?" Isabelle asked.

"Rounding up his family," Anna said, smiling at the foreign queen's confusion.

"You mean sacrificing himself so we can escape?" King Charles asked.

"Not at all," Elsa said.

"Woah!" Indi said, running at his pack, his hands and arms above his head, towards the predators. Lapsus roared in pleasure, happy to see her alpha. "Lapsus, settle down! That is not how you make a friendly entrance!" The large dinosaur roared in disapproval. Indi understood it as: "That's exactly how you make a friendly entrance!"

"Come on, you four, come be friendly," Indi said. turning his back on his pack. The four bipedal animals strode forward slowly, their eyes trained on the new arrivals. King Charles tensed, and his wife gripped his arm tightly in fear.

"Your Majesties," Elsa said, gesturing with a flip of her hand. "I'd like you to meet some of our new residents."

"Some?" Charles asked. "There's more?"

"Let's talked about this over some tea," Elsa suggested. "Shall we?"

Indi led everyone to the castle, his pack following him. King Charles and Queen Isabelle were followed by their guards, whose eyes never left the large, white animal and the three smaller animals. As the royalty were escorted into the castle, Indi gave his pack a load of meat before trotting after the humans.

In the tea room, Elsa and Anna sat in plush chairs, while the king and queen of the Southern Isles sat on the small sofa.

"I would like an explanation as to what is going on here," King Charles said grimly.

"Yes, and you will have one," Elsa said placatingly. "Once Indi..." Almost as if on cue, the boy walked into the room. "Ah, there you are, Indi." She held out a cup to her friend.

Indi smiled, nodding his thanks to the queen as he sat in the padded chair next to her.

"So, Indi is it?" Queen Isabelle said. At the boy's nod, she continued. "What are those giant animals that we saw at the docks?"

"Those animals are called dinosaurs," Indi said. "We have many more species living here in Arendelle, which we rescued from the island where I was born, Isla Nublar."

Indi, Elsa, and Anna all leapt into a prolonged recollection of the occurrences since Indi's arrival to the rescue to a few days ago. Some parts, the visiting royals had a hard time believing, such as children being able to turn into dinosaurs at will. Fortunately, King Charles and Queen Isabelle were understanding, and after hearing of the conditions on Nublar, were wholly sympathetic.

"Where is this Brynn girl?" Queen Isabelle asked as she raised her teacup to her lips.

"She's resting," Indi said. "If she were awake, she would be in excruciating pain."

"We are very sorry for what Hans has done," King Charles said.

"Apology accepted," Elsa said, with the affirming nod from Indi.

"We also thank you for not killing him, Queen Elsa," Queen Isabelle said. "Even though you had every right to, with this being his second 'attempt' and all."

"You wouldn't have to worry about me," Elsa said, as her eyes looked over to Indi. "Indi, on the other hand..."

"Hans would most likely be dead by now," Indi said "had Queen Elsa not told me of the implications of such actions."

"What would you have done to him?" King Charles asked.

"I probably would have fed him to our Tyrannosaurus rex, if I was feeling nice."

"And if you weren't feeling nice?" Queen Isabelle asked.

"I'd probably let the Velociraptors have him," Indi said decidedly.

"And how is that worse than the Tyrannosaurus?" King Charles asked. "It seems to me that the end result is the same either way."

"I'm afraid I can't answer that question the best. However, if I may suggest to do so, why don't we pay a visit to Arendelle's local expert on Velociraptors."

"Oh, yes," Queen Isabelle said. "I'm actually very interested in these creatures."

The small group left the tea room, and went out to the courtyard. The raptor handler was preparing a small exercise in the courtyard for his animals with wooden barrels and crates that the four had to dodge to get to their target fastest.

Their target: a pig. The pig would be released from a crate and the raptors would be release three seconds after. One can guess the end result if the pig didn't reach the crate on the other side of the courtyard in time.

"Owen!" Indi called from the castle doors. "Another training exercise?"

"Yeah," Owen groaned, thunking a large crate on the cobblestones. He noticed the two very-important-looking people approaching behind his young friend. "And who's this?"

"King Charles the Second and Queen Isabelle of the Southern Isles," Indi said introducing them. "Your Majesties, meet Owen Grady, one of Arendelle's foremost experts on Velociraptors. Next to me, of course."

"Ah, is pleasure to meet your acquaintance," Owen said, bowing respectfully.

"I was hoping to know a bit more about the Velociraptors," Queen Isabelle said.

"Well, what would you like to know?" Owen asked, always happy to teach people about his favorite animal.

"Well..." Isabelle mulled. "How fast are they?"

"Forty miles per hour," Owen said, leaning back on a crate. "Fifty when they're hungry. And they're astonishing jumpers."

"How big?"

"Five feet, seven inches tall, about fifteen feet long. They average about three hundred pounds in weight."

"Indi said that they were intelligent," King Charles asked. "How intelligent, would you say?"

"In human terms, smart enough to open doors, learn commands, and create and execute plans."

"Really?" Isabelle said. "Indi said they were created for military applications. Is that correct?"

"Yes, and I was the primary one in charge of training them." Then, Barry walked out of the stables, and strode up behind his coworker.

"Owen," he said. "They're ready."

"Okay," the head trainer said with a satisfied nod. "Your Majesties, if you would like to view a training exercise, you are more than welcome to. Just stay back out of the way. These animals are unpredictable. Anna..."

The princess stepped forward. She had recently enlisted as a raptor trainer herself, though Elsa attempted to discourage her. Owen managed to explain to Elsa that Anna had already formed a good relationship with Echo, and that no harm would come to Anna. Even so, Elsa was extremely uncomfortable with her sister working with dangerous predators.

The visiting royals sat down on some chairs on an elevated platform, giving them a fair view of the courtyard. Anna followed Owen, and walked over to the stables. Echo perked up at the sight of her companion.

"Hey, Echo," Anna said, kneeling next to the raptor's head cage. She began petting Echo's cheek, the scales smooth like dry pebbles from a river. Echo shrieked, ready to get out.

Out in the courtyard, the three royals sat in chairs, waiting for the training to begin.

Barry walked out, and grabbed a handle that was attached to a crate.

"Ready?" he called into the stables.

"We're good!" called Owen's voice. Barry opened the crate, and out rushed a small pig. Two seconds after, four raptors raced out of the stable doors, pursuing the pig. Blue hopped over a large crate, followed by Charlie. Echo and Delta flanked each side of the wooden box.

The raptors chased the pig to its escape hatch, where a metal door fell shut, sealing out the scaly predators.

"HOLD!" Anna said. The raptors turned, to look at the newest member of their pack. Anna had her hand in a fist, holding her arm out. The four raptors held their positions, staring at the princess. "Eyes on me!"

After the training session, Indi went back inside to check on Brynn. Elsa understood why he felt he needed to be with his friend, but something just kept bothering the young queen about the whole situation. She decided to speak of her mindset with Anna in the royal study.

"Kai," Elsa said "Would you fetch my sister for me?"

"Certainly, My Queen," the young servant said, bowing as he left.

Elsa sighed, closing her eyes. Something didn't seem right about Indi. Being concerned about his friend was understandable, but the way he watched everyone who came to check on Brynn was scary.

"Hey, Elsa," Anna said as she entered the queen's office.

"Hello, Anna. Please sit." Elsa said gesturing to the chair in front of the large desk. Anna sat in the chair swiftly.

"Whatever happened, I swear I didn't do it," the princess said hurriedly.

"No, it is nothing like that, Anna." Elsa sighed out. "I need to talk to you about Indi."

"Ooh," Anna said, raising an eyebrow.

"Not like that!" Elsa said quickly. "I mean about him and Brynn."

"Okay," Anna said.

"The way Indi watches anybody who goes into Brynn's room to check on her is scary."

"What do you mean? I know he cares for her, but you're being vague."

"I mean, when I went in there this morning, he watched me like a hawk!" Elsa exclaimed. "Whether it's just him being protective or he's paranoid, it's terrifying for him to look at me like that. I feel unnaturally vulnerable." She paused. "I feel like prey."

"Elsa, you're not going to be Indi's latest food source. Listen to yourself. You're making it sound like Indi's going to rip someone's chest open and eat their heart if they so much look at Brynn the wrong way." Anna paused. "You know what I think?"

"What?"

"I think you're just jealous!" Anna shrieked.

"What?! No, I'm not!"

"I can see why you are, Elsa," Anna said mischievously. "Brynn is a beautiful girl. That much is obvious. Indi's known her for a long time. That certainly accounts for something... She has more goods in the display window than you."

It took Elsa a second to comprehend what her sister just said. " Goods in the... Anna!"

"Hey, I'm just saying," Anna laughed out, putting her hands up in mock innocence. Elsa really was jealous!

"I'm done with you, Anna," Elsa said, leaving. It was nearly dark, the sun just brushing the horizon along the ocean.

Elsa wandered through the hallways, with no real direction in mind. She was oblivious to where she was going, still fuming over what Anna had said. Small snowflakes shimmered behind her on the ground, appearing beneath her where she walked.

Goods in the display window my foot. Elsa thought.

As she walked through the castle, she stopped to think. Would Indi really leave her for Brynn?

Elsa soon realized where she was: right outside Brynn's room.

Sighing, Elsa raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Going to compare your chest to Brynn's, Elsa?"

"No, Anna." Elsa knocked on the door. A slight growl came from behind the slab of wood. "Indi, it's me. Let me in."

The growling continued, turning to a low stutter.

"Indi?" Elsa said, creaking the door open.

Suddenly, a hand and arm thrust through the opening, and Elsa felt a fierce pain in her arm, causing her to pull back away from the door. A loud roar emanated from the room. Anna quickly gripped the door, and yanked it shut on the arm. The appendage pulled back into the room, allowing Anna to slam the door close.

Elsa was clutching her right arm, the sleeve of her dress reddening out from beneath her hand, her face twisted into a pained grimace.

"Elsa?" Anna asked worriedly as she slowly approached her sister. "Are you okay?"

"Get. Me. To. A. Healer," the queen breathed out through clenched teeth.

"Come on," Anna said, taking Elsa down a hall to the infirmary.

"Your Highness!" the head healer exclaimed. "What happened?"

"I honestly don't know," Elsa said.

"Well, let's get you patched up."

The healer cleaned the blood from Elsa's arm, and as carefully as she could, gently wrapped the queen's arm with cloth.

"That should do it," the healer said.

"Thank you," Elsa said softly. "Anna, find Owen Grady."

Anna nodded and ran down the hall to the courtyard, where she saw Owen explaining raptor biology to Queen Isabelle.

"Owen!"

"Anna?" the man said, turning to his 'apprentice', as some would call Anna. "What's wrong?"

"Indi just attacked Elsa!"

"WHAT?!" he said, whipping around.

"Indi just atta..."

"I heard what you said," Owen said. "Do you know where he is right now?"

"He's in Brynn's room."

Elsa walked out a pained expression on her face.

"Queen Elsa!" Isabelle cried out, running towards the injured royal.

"Everybody into the castle now!" Owen shouted. "It's not safe out here!"

"Owen, what's going on?" Elsa asked.

"Indi," was Owen's curt reply. Everybody ran towards the doors, where two guards stood, readying their weapons.

"We need to get in and secure Indi," Owen said quickly.

"Owen, what's wrong?" Elsa said again.

"Indi attacked you, yes?" Elsa nodded. "We need to get Indi into a room, and lock him inside."

"But, why?" Anna asked.

"Mister Grady, I need details," Elsa said. They were almost at the castle doors.

Owen didn't reply, instead grabbing the door handle. When he pulled, a large mass slammed against the doors, flinging them open. Owen fell backwards as the doors slammed against him.

Elsa looked up, as saw Indi standing there in his Indominus form, stepping forward with a heavy thud.

Owen scrambled to his feet. "RRRUUUUUNNNNNN!" Everyone took off, away from the impending doom.

Elsa glanced back, up into Indi's eyes. There was none of the boy she had come to love in them, only the hungry glare of a carnivore craving from bloodlust.

Anna ran for her life, her arms and legs pumping desperately. How could this happened?

Indi roared, his head lowering. He made a quick snap at Elsa, who was behind everybody else in the fleeing group, his jaws just missing the young woman when she arched her back out of reach.

"To the gates!" Owen cried.

The entire crowd rushed to the two tall structures. Owen rushed through first, followed by the royals from the Southern Isles. Anna bolted through the gates, and shouted to the guards "Shut the gates!"

"But... the queen..." one said hesitantly.

"She can make it!" Anna said. "Shut the gates now!"

Elsa ran as fast as she could, when she saw the gates start to close. She ran all the faster, her legs aching, her chest burning. Indi's swiped at his intended victim, the claws grazing the fabric on the back of her dress.

She ran through the gates, just in time, the cold metal siding brushing against her cheek as she past.

Indi slammed right into the opening, right on Elsa's heels, and was caught by the closing doors. He shrieked in vain as he strained against the doors, the wood splintering.

"Elsa!" Anna cried from a nearby carriage. "Over here!" Elsa ran over, and the two young women hid inside, Anna shutting the door quickly.

Indi roared in frustration as he threw his weight against the gates, flinging them aside. He dropped to a scaly hand to regain his balance before rising and striding forward.

Anna peeked out of the carriage, watching as Indi looked around, before she was pulled away by Elsa. They hunkered down, feeling their surroundings vibrate with every step Indi took.

"What do we do?" Anna whispered frightenedly.

"I don't know," Elsa whispered back. "I don't want to hurt him."

"You're worried about hurting him?" Anna said quietly. Elsa nodded. "You're hopmph!" Elsa quickly placed a hand over her sister's mouth.

A large, scaly, white snout appeared next to the carriage, inching along. The nostrils expanded and contracted with deep, breezy breaths. The dreaded stuttering growl echoed in the carriage.

A small cough from outside the carriage attracted Indi, who turned towards the sound. He strode over, growling. Elsa peered out, and saw the KIng and Queen of the Southern Isles cowering behind a crate. She quickly materialized a sphere of ice around them. It was transparent, but she was sure they would be safe.

Indi noticed the ball of ice, and growled at it. He prowled over.

"We're safe in here, right?" Queen Isabelle asked her husband.

"Yeah, completely safe," Charles said, not totally sure himself. He closed his eyes, hoping this was all a nightmare.

"Charles."

"Yeah."

"L-look."

King Charles opened his eyes and saw a orangish-gold eye peering through the ice at them. The eye blinked, some type of membrane sliding across the eye sideways in a very alien way.

Indi stood up and, using his enormous clawed hands, rolled the ice ball so the king and queen were facing him, raised a talon on his hand, and slammed the appendage into the sphere. The two royals inside stared at the claw with fear and helplessness.

Indi removed the claw, opened his mouth as wide as it could go, and lowered his jaws onto the sphere. The king and queen inside screamed, Indi's breath clouding the ice, his tongue squishing against the clear wall.

Seeing the sight before her, Anna nearly laughed. It looked as though Indi was trying to swallow something that couldn't fit into his mouth.

Indi clenched his teeth as hard as he could, and felt the satisfying crunch of the ice breaking. Holding the sphere in his mouth, Indi raised the ball up and slammed it down on the cobblestones, shattering the bottom. The royals tumbled out of the interior, and crouched as the sphere was slammed down around them.

Indi ripped the ball apart, shrieking viciously.

"HEY!" came Owen's voice, causing Indi to turn and look at the man.

Indi roared at the man, and stalked forward, glaring dangerously. Owen backed away slowly, muttering to the creature in front of him. "Come on, come on now."

Indi suddenly raised himself up and cawed deeply into the air. And answering roar came from the area outside the stables.

Lapsus and the raptors from Indi's pack came running over. Indi roared at them, and they stopped. The leader made a series of deep, resonant grunts and hoots. The last three sounds felt strangely human to Elsa. They sounded something like:

"Hu-hun-ta."

Indi and his pack stormed off into the night, the vibrations in the ground growing fainter as the left.

Elsa, Anna, Owen, and the Southern Isles's royalty all gathered around in the conference room, all terrified from the occurrence.

"What the hell just happened?" Anna asked.

"I can answer that," said a voice. Everyone turned to see Brynn, limping out of a doorway, bloodied bandages around her shoulder.
