And massive shoutout to Jenna02 for the review that really was nice.
They left early in the morning, Edward barely had time to get dressed and say goodbye to Elsa before Stonewell almost put a warrant out for his arrest. They were on the North Mountain, past where he had been with Kristoff during their ice harvests. He vaguely remembered the path they were on since he first stumbled into Arendelle. The wind blew without mercy and cut into both of the men's skin. Edward was given a thicker cold variation of the Arendelle guard uniform to wear for the duration of their outing. It was still dark green in color and had crocus designs and purple linings but there were also fur collars lining the neck and sleeves. The old man was also wearing his own uniform albeit a little worn and tattered from excessive use.
The Captain really hadn't said anything since they left the village hours ago, he just kept walking further and further away off the known path. Edward kept his gaze on the man's back the entire time and couldn't help but begin to wonder about a few things. They had left Arendelle six hours ago and during that time they only stopped for a break twice.
Both times, Stonewell hadn't lit a single cigar.
He would drop his pack and pull out one of the swords he had strapped to it and would begin sharpening it without a word. Before they left, the young man asked if he should bring a weapon along with him during the exercise, to know what to expect. The Captain only answered that the young man could bring whatever he wanted to as long as he could carry it. Edward brought his katana and had it strapped to his waist while he packed mostly food, some tools, and rope.
He hadn't seen what Stonewell packed exactly but the multiple handles sticking out of the pack gave him somewhat of a clue what was in that pack.
The two of them continued to walk as the wind blew in their faces. Even though Edward's body was quite resistant to the cold, he could admit it was kind of chilly outside. He couldn't even begin to imagine how the old man must be feeling yet the Captain remained silent and kept going strong. The young man tried to force some conversation but all he received was silence as they kept walking.
Realizing that Stonewell wouldn't likely say anything until they arrived at their destination, Edward decided to occupy himself with his thoughts. He was slightly ashamed that the first thing that came to mind was the night he spent with Elsa. He was beyond spent when they finished and was on cloud nine long before they were satisfied. His brain was overloaded with the senses that the blonde made him experience that even now he could still smell her natural body scent.
He could chalk that up to being able to access Wrath's more enhanced senses compared to his usual ones. Along with the arm he was getting used to, his senses were getting sharper and more acute. While he was walking, he could faintly make out the animals around them even knowing that they were far away.
If it weren't for them then he wouldn't have heard the soft click noise that just went off.
A hail of knives showered from behind him forcing him to roll forward to dodge. Before he could get into a ready stance, he heard the sound of a sword leaving its sheath and saw one of the Captain's blades heading towards his head. The weapon was already so close that drawing his would've been too slow and he couldn't dodge fast enough. Reflexively, his left arm shot up and grabbed the blade halting it from reaching its target.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Edward was about to yell the old man's head off but was stopped by the serious expression on the man's face. His face was stone cold, not murderous or angry, just very intense and calculating. It was like being watched by a hawk who was keen on seeing something specific happen. The older man quickly yanked on his weapon that would've cut anyone else's hand deeply but it made a screeching sound as it slid against the scales of the young man's hand. Stonewell then brought up the weapon to visually inspect it and focused his gaze on slight gouge in the blade.
"Remove your left glove."
Edward's heart skipped a beat at the request and couldn't help but hope against hope that he heard wrong. "W-what?"
"Remove your left glove."
The young man's eyes strayed to his left hand and considered asking what was the point of such a request. He realized it would be a waste of time, so slowly, he took the glove off and held his hand out. The Captain placed his weapon back into its sheath before leaning forward to inspect the appendage. He then took a hold of it with one hand and turned it over to examine it further.
While he was doing this Edward was quickly trying to come up with an explanation of why his arm looked like this. Stonewell was no fool, he may have been able to pull one over him with the bandit bodies when they first met but this was right in front of him. The young man had to come up with something, he had a feeling the curse story he told Mr. Jorgen wouldn't work here so he pressed his mind to think of something quickly.
"So this is Wrath's arm, I expected it to be more horrifying to be honest."
All of the young man's thoughts screeched to a halt.
Wrath's arm, he knows?!
It was at that moment Edward felt his fight or flight instincts stirring. If the old man truly knew who Wrath was and what he was capable of, he'd most surely attempt to eliminate the obvious threat to Arendelle. Even if he didn't, the Captain would be forced to report this to the council and it would heavily undermine Elsa's position as Queen. The young man couldn't allow that and for an extremely brief moment, he toyed with the idea of killing the old man right here and now. It would keep his secret safe plus with them so far away with the expectation of being gone a week, he could definitely hide the body where no one would find it.
He mentally shook his head, that wasn't the way he did things anymore. Rahim might've gone through with that course of action but Edward wouldn't. The old man was a pain to be sure but he was stalwart in his desire to protect Arendelle. Not only that, the Captain had time and time again kept him on the straight and narrow while giving wonderful and wise advice. He would hate to see him go.
Which brought him back to his current predicament. The tone in which Stonewell said his statement was conversational and almost whimsical. There wasn't a shred of fear or suspicion in his face, just general curiosity as he still examined the arm. It was almost as if he knew about the arm before today and was just now confirming it. How the old man found out plagued his mind. He thought back to all of his interactions with the Captain and wondered when he ever seemed concentrated on the arm.
For the most part, nothing stood out, except when the two of them fought. When they fought, Edward fought one handed with his weapon instead of using two as he often did. He kept his left arm well out of reach of the old man so that there wouldn't be any suspicion as to why his arm could deflect a sword. The times he saw the Captain's eyes wander to his left arm, he tried to shrug it off and act like everything was normal. When they returned to him, he thought he had succeeded in keeping the arm hidden, but he didn't.
There was also the fact he knew the demon's actual name, meaning that someone must've told him. The only people who knew of Wrath were Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Grand Pabbie. The idea that one of them told the Captain was highly unlikely given they all knew the significance of hiding the demon's presence.
Wait they aren't the only ones who know.
Ahimoth, Lilian, and Alrick knew as well. The to be wed couple left before he gained this new arm so they wouldn't know about it. Alrick on the other hand had seen it the night that he told the young man that Talib was dead. Edward cursed himself, he got too emotional that night and wasn't thinking, there was no need to show the King his arm. Alrick and Stonewell had a history together so it wasn't too far outside the realm of possibility that his old Commander told the Captain.
"Cat got your tongue? You've been quiet for a while. Thoughts buzzing too quickly in your head?"
The still conversational tone that the old man took was quite surprising and had Edward gulping as he looked up into the man's curious gaze. He needed to speak, he wanted to know how things would proceed now that they both knew that Wrath was known.
"I'm just stunned that you know about Wrath. I've been trying to keep it a secret ever since I got here because I didn't want people to look at me like a monster. When we first met and you looked like you were suspicious of me, I fought to keep myself as calm as possible under your stare hoping that you would dismiss me."
"You're right in thinking I was suspicious of you when we first met. While your body gave nothing away, your eyes most certainly did. You kept trying to meet mine and show that you weren't hiding anything but you were trying way too hard and when you heard about the bandits' bodies your eyes widened considerably. I even went up there on my own to check the bodies and I found no teeth marks on them. Ever since, I've been watching you and having getting to know you, I could tell you were hiding something. Which is why I arranged for us to have this exercise so I could find out what it was. Honestly, I hoped you would've been the one to tell me instead of Alrick having to inform me."
So Alrick did tell him.
It made Edward consider how many other people the King told. While he was confident that his old commander would keep the existence of Wrath a secret considering the fact that he offered to remove the young man's status of being a traitor if he helped hunt down the last of Rakat's army. Exposing his current state would also invite panic around the world that creatures like Wrath existed. It was very likely the King would only let the smallest number of people know of the demon.
"Is that right, what did he say exactly?"
"He warned me to keep an eye on you, that while you were a good soldier under his command, you were a very vengeful one. He briefly went over the lengths and measures that Rahim took to succeed in his missions, quite frankly, they were excessive."
For a brief second, he wanted to argue that Rahim only did what he did to get to Wrath but looking back, even he could agree that things went too far at times. As he said before, he never tortured anyone but the amount of bodies on his old katana were high. The weapon probably had the stench of blood engraved on it. Even after wiping the blood off time and time again and taking care of the weapon, he could still imagine the scent remaining.
"Then he informed me of Rahim's death and Wrath's actions during the civil war. When he told me that Wrath had killed innocent people on the King's order's, I had half a mind to kill you."
There it is, the inevitable yet practical solution.
"He then told me that Wrath wasn't your primary consciousness that you fought to keep him from taking over. It shed a new light on all the conversations we had and helped me understand you better. You truly are haunted by what Wrath has done and I can only imagine how you must feel knowing that the previous you died in a desperate attempt to avenge your mother and now you're sustaining its life."
Edward was surprised to see that the Captain had an almost sorrowful expression on his face. His face was solemn and there was no pity in his eyes, just an accepting stare.
"I can see how my way of living wouldn't agree to you, in your case the ends to do not justify the means because what you were left with is worse than what you started with. As I listened to every detail about Rahim's life as well as this Father person who might've been behind that man Zavis as well as Greed, it helped me realize something."
Stonewell let go of the demonic hand before putting his own on Edward's shoulder.
"It made me realize that if anyone was to set things right, it would be you."
Elsa once again woke with a giddy feeling in her tummy as revealed in the goosebumps that Edward left on her skin the night before. She would once again have to hide her sheets until she could sneak them into the staff's wash pile. For now though she couldn't help but snuggle into her pillow more and taken in the smell of their scents mingling together.
There wasn't much she had planned today, her earliest meeting was set at noon. With Anna and Kristoff gone, she had no pressing reasons to get out of bed. The blonde even considered having breakfast brought up so she could laze around in her bed while reading that romance book about the warrior and life long best friend. As she was considering it, a polite knock sounded through her door.
"Queen Elsa, there is someone who would like to see you."
The woman recognized the voice to be Kai and racked her brain for a moment. With Princess Rapunzel gone and Captain Stonewell on his trip who wanted to see her. The council meeting was in a few hours so it couldn't have been them. Perhaps a villager wanted to speak with the Queen given that she had the gates remain open.
"Did they give a name or reason?"
"The name that was given was Garret Sobel, as for the reason of his visit; he said that you would be interested as to why the late King and Queen truly left for the voyage that unfortunately claimed their lives."
The blonde sat up very quickly and instantly made an ice dress as she walked to the door before opening it. She fixed Kai with a searching stare as she slowly and with great deliberation spoke her next few words.
"What do you mean by 'truly left for the voyage' I was under the impression that they were going to establish relations with another kingdom, is that not correct?"
The man's face took on a slightly nervous expression as he stared down the young woman and thought back to a distant conversation with the late King.
It was at night that the chief assistant had been summoned by King Agnarr. The royal had been acting rather odd the last few weeks, spending less and less time with the Queen and more in his personal study than anywhere else. Even Captain Stonewell had taken notice and commented on it. The atmosphere in the castle was melancholy, even with Anna bouncing around the halls trying to keep her spirits up, it was still not enough.
Kai was one of the only people who actually knew what was wrong. It had to do with Elsa's abilities becoming stronger and stronger. When the incident happened that forced the two sisters' separation the King and Queen had informed him and Gerda what had occurred then swore them to secrecy. The two of them were to coordinate with the remaining staff and ensure that none of them found out why Elsa was always in her room.
Agnarr was at a loss on what to do. His daughter was quickly losing the control she had at first and was becoming uncontrollable. There had been many times that he confessed that he didn't know what to do to the assistant. The Queen kept visiting Elsa while the King picked up the workload and looked over texts in his study. He told Kai that he might have a method of helping Elsa controlling her powers by covering her hands with gloves but that didn't work when she got worked up which was most of the time.
It was a week ago when he furiously slammed his hands on his desk and threw everything off of it to the ground. The King had run out of ideas and it was easy to tell he was in a dark place. It was after that Agnarr left the castle for most of the day then returning at night. He was accompanied by Stonewell alone and would always have a blank expression on his face when he returned. There had been a few times that the two would be arguing quite animatedly at the castle steps before one of them would storm off. Kai remembering his boundaries, did not question it. Only continuing to fulfill Queen Iduna's requests and see to Anna and the rest of the staff.
Which made it surprising to learn he was being summoned so late at night by the King. He made his way to his monarch's study and knocked before hearing an answer to come in. opening the door, Agnarr had a disheveled appearance as he was hunched over a piece of parchment.
"Kai, you are one of my oldest friends and have always been helpful and a valued source of information and support. Which is why I must ask you something, something I've been too afraid to voice to anyone. I want your honest opinion of this."
The assistant gave the royal his undivided attention as he prepared himself for whatever weighed so heavily on the King's mind.
"Elsa's powers are getting stronger, so much stronger than I originally thought. Even when she's asleep, her room ices over and she turns anything she touches to ice. The gloves have only been minimally effective with keeping her from freezing whatever she touches but the air around her is still freezing. She was told that fear would be her enemy but I thought it would be from the outside, that people calling her a witch would hurt her. But it's her, her fear is making things impossible and I don't know what to do."
Kai looked ready to speak and reassure the man but was stopped by a hand and saw the same hand turn the parchment so that he could read it. The first thing that assistant noticed was that the parchment was littered in scribbles of writing and sketches of something.
"The reason why I've been leaving the castle is because there is someone else out there who knows about powers like Elsa's. They gave me the suggestion of using gloves to help control it but seeing as they didn't work, he suggested that I take further measures. Even Stonewell assessed that if Elsa's powers continue to increase while her control decreases then things could be disastrous. Which is why I took these measures."
The assistant took a closer look at the sketches and with a lead weight in his stomach, he finally figured out what was on the parchment.
They were designs and specifications of a set of shackles as well as notes to contain something called an Elemental.
Kai couldn't help his jaw going slack as he looked up to his King who stared at him with a tired expression.
"You mean to imprison Elsa?"
Hearing it said aloud made Agnarr lose strength in his legs and fall back in his chair while putting his face in his hands. The assistant could only stare in shock as he watched one of the strongest men he had ever known begin to silently weep.
"I don't know what to do, she can't continue this way. If she does then she'll be a danger to Arendelle. I'm her father yet I'm also the King. My duty is to my people yet my heart is to her. What should I do, Kai please tell me, what do I do?"
The assistant watched the man weep for a few more moments before clearing his throat. "Your Majesty, I truly do not have an answer for you. You are correct that as King, your duty is to the people yet as a father you have a duty to Elsa as well. You know the risks that are involved with your daughter and you have to ask yourself, do you truly think that Elsa will become a threat to Arendelle?"
Kai knelt in front of the King so that he could speak and they would be eye level.
"I remember the day she was born you were the happiest I've ever seen you. You said that you would protect her from everything, however, please forgive me but that is unrealistic. You and I know full well that one cannot be protected from everything forever, one day, Elsa will be on her own. What she does in that time will be completely up to her. Which is why you need to decide what you are going to do now. If you truly believe that Elsa will be a threat to Arendelle then do what needs to be done as King, however if you don't then do what needs to be done as her father."
Agnarr stared at the assistant for a long moment before embracing the man in a tight hug. Kai returned the gesture and held the King for a moment as he listened to the man's words.
"I was so wrong, I let my fear push me to make a terrible mistake. I believe in Elsa, I believe in my little girl." The man kept repeating it over and over to his friend who held him until he was finally able to stop weeping.
"Thank you Kai, it means a lot to me knowing that you are here."
"Think nothing of it Your Majesty, there's nowhere else I'd rather be."
With a smile, the King got to his feet and looked at the parchment on his desk and began to tear it into pieces. He also called for the guards to go into the village and bring him someone named Garret Sobel. When they asked if he should be forcibly brought, the King responded that the man would be more than accommodating.
Kai wondered why this man was so important to be called late at night but all the King said was that the man was a source of information.
It has been many years and Mr. Sobel has not returned to the castle for some time. The assistant honestly didn't recognize the name at first until the man said that he knew the reason why the late King and Queen left.
"Your Majesty, your parents had indeed informed the staff that they were going to establish relations with a nearby kingdom. However before they left, the King gave special instructions to follow should he not return. The first being that the gates were to remain closed until you came of age and that no foreign elements were to enter the village. It was almost as if he knew that the voyage could be his last and wished that we be ready."
"I can see how important it is to set contingencies in play in case of unfortunate happenings but what of this man, do you know who he is?"
"I do not, only that your father asked that he be brought to the castle. Perhaps Stonewell knows more of this man, the Captain did accompany the late King most places so the two of them might have met."
Elsa frowned as she remembered that Stonewell and Edward left earlier today. With no way of knowing which direction they went, she had no way of calling them back. As much as she hated to admit it, she would have to go into this meeting blind and with no preparation. Part of her considered that the man might be lying and that he wanted something but she couldn't be sure. Agreeing to meet the man, the blonde followed Kai to the throne room where he waited for her to take a breath before letting the man in.
The first thing she noticed was that his glasses caught the light of the room and shielded his eyes from hers. He was about her height with his shoulders hunched forward and he wore a simple blue collared shirt with suspenders coming up from his brown trousers and worn boots. His hair was somewhat shaggy as it hung around his face and stopped at his chin. The man made a correct bow as he cleared his throat to address the woman.
"I wish to thank you for seeing me Your Majesty, the stories concerning your benevolence does not do you justice."
"I thank you for the compliment, it is my wish that the people be heard and that they be unafraid to speak with me."
Garret lifted his head up with an easy smile as he listened to her words. "As I'm sure that you wish the best for your people, we both know that you wish to hear something from me that concerns your parents."
Getting right down to business is he…
Elsa kept her regal expression unreadable as she readied her next response. "I confess that you are correct and that I am very interested in why you believe the late King and Queen had ulterior motives they did not feel the need to explain to any of their subjects."
The veiled threat had been laid at the man's feet and the blonde watched his body carefully for any tells that could give away what he was thinking. Judging of the body language he'd given so far, the man was tired. Not sleepy but his body's stature looked worn and weary. His slouched shoulders and slow movements as well as the deep breaths and sighs he took, suggested that it took a lot to get him here.
"Well to answer that question, I think it would be better if I introduced myself. My name is Garret Sobel, I am the man who gave your father the specifications and designs meant to suppress your abilities and contain you should your powers proved too much to handle."
Elsa was barely aware that the armrests she was holding froze under her white knuckled hands. It was him, he was the one who thought up that room that was meant to imprison her. At first, her mind couldn't distinguish what it should feel. Shock was the first identifiable emotion that raced through her mind. Then there was a flash of anger.
This man had put ideas in her father's head to imprison her as a child. If her father hadn't decided to believe in her and stand by her, she could be rotting down there right now.
"So you were the one who created those shackles?"
"I told him that an Elemental needs to move their limbs in order to access more complex abilities, and suggested that completely encasing them while keeping them immobile would work."
The blank way he just answered the question, made the room get colder. Elsa was now aware that her magic was beginning to seep out from her but kept a good grip on them. She was fine with a little slipping out, part of her wanted to show that even while she was immobile that she still had power. It was a dark thought but the tired expression on the man's face did not change at all, like he was used to seeing this.
"I see, I suppose you had no idea that the designs you provided the King would be used against me, his daughter."
"I knew exactly who they were for and calculated how old you would be when your abilities would be at their peak and based the shackles off the estimation of how much you would grow until that point in time."
That made the wind begin to blow indoors that Kai and the guards in the room began to look uncomfortable. All the while Garret still had the same expression on his face. She began to feel annoyed that his glasses still hide his eyes from her so she couldn't tell if this display really didn't phase him.
"I suggest you be more deliberate with your words Mr. Sobel, as you can see my control over my abilities aren't perfect when my emotional state is peaked."
"I apologize your Majesty, I just thought it would be more expedient if we had a frank conversation. It was not my intention of upsetting you, I just wanted to be aware of the gravity of who I am in relation to your father. The late King came to me when he heard that I had an extensive knowledge over very old topics. He asked me if there were people who had otherworldly abilities over the elements, which I answered they were called Elementals. He then began to listen to all that I had to say about them and one day told me he knew of a one that was having trouble controlling her abilities. I gave him the initial findings of my research and precautions he could take, one day he revealed that it was his daughter and that night I made my calculations."
Garret stopped to take a long sigh as if he had something dragging him down as he spoke. "It killed your father to ask that of me. I agreed because I know the feeling of losing your child to a force that you can't stop, especially when it was coming from them."
His facial expression then took on a look that was somewhat familiar to her yet she couldn't quite place it. He stopped speaking and just stared off into space for a moment as his last sentence bounced around in her head. It was somewhat odd to imagine the blunt and stoic man in front of her could possibly understand what was going through her father's mind.
"You have children of your own?"
"Once… I had two boys that I watched become monsters and I couldn't do anything to stop it. It was because of me that they were forever changed. One of them I got to raise for a time and I hoped I instilled in him the value of family. The other…I really never got to meet and by the time I did, he was already something I know my wife wouldn't have wanted for her children. So I do understand how your father felt, which is why when he told me that the shackles wouldn't be necessary and if they were any other alternatives, I told him of one. A very long shot in the dark that could help, there had been legends that there was a way to remove an Elementals powers. When he denied it saying that your powers were a part of you and he accepted all of you, it was then I told him that if it became public knowledge that you were an Elemental, you would be targeted."
Throughout his explanation and how he spoke about the fate of his two boys, a disturbing thought began to form in Elsa's mind. The facial expression that was on his face finally came to her, it was the look Edward had whenever he spoke of his past. The story about the two boys even reminded her of the the stories that he would tell her. If who she was talking to right now was who she thought he was then things might get out of hand.
"Targeted you say? Who would target an Elemental."
She already knew the answer as the man said it.
"Father would."
Elsa instantly stood off her throne and took a step that sent a wave of ice that completely encased Garret from neck to foot in ice. Kai was startled as were the guards who all pulled their weapons and aimed them at the man, wondering what had caused their usually peaceful ruler to turn hostile. All the while, the man trapped didn't so much as flinch as he looked down in his prison before looking back up with a somewhat bored expression.
"So I see that Wrath has spoken to you. That expediates the conversation somewhat."
The blonde took slow steps toward him with a hand raised. To this day she still had no idea how Zavis managed to escape his prison when her back was turned but today she would keep an eye on the man in front of her.
"You said your name was Garret Sobel, is that the truth or is there another name you go by?"
When she got close enough to him, the glint in his glasses was cleared and his red eyes were staring back into her blue ones. "I have been going by Garret Sobel since arriving in Arendelle but if you must know my previous name, Talib of the Tainted Wisdom, at your service." He dipped his head as if he was bowing while he remained captured.
"Well Talib, I'm curious what made you decide to come here. At my sister's wedding, Edward made a speech where everyone could see him, I doubt you didn't…"
"Edward? You mean Wrath?"
Elsa for a brief moment hesitated on how to respond to the question. While it was true that Edward was Wrath, he was more than that. If everything he said about this man was true then Talib would likely use him as a tool again and she wouldn't let that happen.
"I mean Edward and he will not be your tool anymore. If that is the reason you came here today then you will be most disappointed."
Talib snickered as she finished speaking. He started to shake his head as he looked at her with a disbelieving expression. "You think I came here to use him? I came here to warn you that he would be the one to target you."
"Edward would never…"
"Let me stop you right there. Wrath has no say in the matter, he was made to be commanded by Father, no matter what he might think, the moment Father gives him an order then that's it. The only reason that Father hasn't come here is because he needed time and that time is nearly almost out. When it does, he'll come here and claim both his monster and your head."
The blonde narrowed her eyes as she listened to the man speak. She was under the impression that the man in front of her was Father, seeing as he created Wrath in the first place and made Rahim into the demon when he died. Talib talked as if Father was another person that scared him.
"What do you mean 'when he comes' I thought you were Father?"
Talib threw his back and blew his breath through his teeth. "If I were him Your Majesty, we wouldn't be having this conversation. If I was the Talib that Wrath spoke of then I wouldn't have waited until I made sure that he left Arendelle before coming to see you. At the wedding when I saw him, my life here was threatened and I came to you to secure my place here."
Elsa knew she shouldn't trust him but there were some things not adding up. Both Edward and Wrath agreed that when Father arrived in Arendelle, it was likely that they would be turned unless Edward had more control over the demon. Yet Talib had been here for sometime if he lived here as Garret Sobel. If he was truly Father then, he would've sought out Wrath yet it wasn't until Edward left Arendelle for the field exercise did he show himself to her.
There was also the look in his eyes as he spoke. She couldn't see with his glasses reflecting the light earlier but she could see all of his emotions turning in on themselves when she looked into his red eyes. There was genuine fear in those eyes as well as desperation, this man was hiding from something as well.
"And what would you have to offer to 'secure your place' here in my kingdom assuming that I even believe you are who you say you are?"
"I will tell you everything about Father as well as how to remove Wrath from his body."
"What do you mean set things right? There's no fixing what already happened, Rahim's already dead, I'm Wrath now and Father is likely on his way here now and I still can't really use my abilities anymore."
Stonewell wasn't dismayed as he turned to his pack and dug through it before picking up some documents. He then turned around and gave them to the young man and watched him read through it.
"I was made aware of this, which is why we are out here. Before we get back to Arendelle, I'm going to teach you how to control your abilities. Out here there will be no one around so you can let loose with everything without fear of hurting anyone else. You'll find the will to resist anything and will practice until you can fight just as well as Zavis did."
Edward at first was skeptical on how the old man planned to do that but as he read the documents, he couldn't help his jaw from opening.
Inside the documents were research notes as to how a Sin was bonded to a body and a complete breakdown of behaviors as well as the method Talib used to bind the soul to another.
Sorry for the late update guys. I'm sorry to say that I am not satisfied with this chapter but it moves the plot along. It seems that Elsa has finally met Talib and it's unclear if he was really Father or not. Guess you'll have to stay tuned and find out if he really is Father or not, and how Stonewell plans to train Edward. Please pm me if you wish to ask anything or just review I will get back to you guys. Hope y'all have a nice one.
