A/N: Here's chapter 2 of Boreal Destinies, so to do the disclaimer, we have Kristoff. If you would?
Kristoff: Very well. sithlorde1988 doesn't own Frozen, or any of the relevant plots/characters, save any OCs that appear as well as his take on Frozen 2. Everything else belongs to Disney. *turns to author* We good?
SL88: Yes,Kristoff. We're good. *Kristoff leaves* Before this chapter starts, I will warn readers that there will be a sequence in this chapter that may be M-rated, but I'll mark where it begins and ends so anyone who doesn't want to read it can skip it, though fair warning there might be a plot key hidden in the scene. That said, on with the show!
Chapter 2: Unearthing Icy Memories
(In Arendelle, at the palace)
"And you're SURE I have to do the extra day of bed rest, Anna? I'd think I'm recovered enough by now." Elsa protested as her sister put her on an extra day of bed rest as she recovered from a cold she'd had recently.
"Yes Elsa, I'm sure. Unless you want to risk getting sick again, you need as much rest as possible." Anna said. Elsa huffed but nodded her acceptance of Anna's request.
"Fine. But only the one day. I DO have a kingdom to run." Elsa said. Anna smiled and cautiously hugged her sister. Before Elsa could react to Anna hugging her, a noise in her closet caused her to turn and see Olaf in her closet.
"Olaf, what are you doing?" Elsa asked the miniature snowman. Olaf turned to face the Queen of Arendelle.
"I was cleaning out your closet for you since it was so dusty." Olaf said then turned in time to hit his head on a shelf and stick his arms out in time to feel an object land in them. When Olaf looked, he was surprised to see the object was a picture frame but what was more surprising was that the frame had a picture in it of what appeared to be a younger Elsa standing next to a boy about her age, both of them smiling and looking happy. Olaf frowned as he studied the raven-haired boy who had an arm around Elsa's waist in the picture. Anna turned to see what had Olaf so quiet, and upon seeing the picture her mouth fell open as she saw what had Olaf so surprised. Elsa frowned at the two.
"What's so surprising?" Elsa asked, snapping the stunned princess and snowman back to reality.
"When were you going to tell us about this picture, Elsa?" Anna asked, showing the picture to Elsa, whose turn it was to gape open-mouthed at the photo.
"To be honest, Anna, I'd forgotten I had this picture to be honest. It was quite special to me for a long time because it was all I had of my old childhood friend Scor." Elsa said.
"Your childhood friend?" Anna asked in surprise. Elsa sighed and turned to face her sister.
"The thing you have to understand about this is that this was during a time we had to be separated due to my powers going out of control. At that time, I had no friends and was quite sheltered. In other words, I was easy prey." Elsa said as she began the tale of her friend.
(Flashback, 9 years previous)
"Are you sure you want to do this, Your Majesty? If your father finds out I could get in a lot of trouble." A castle attendant told a younger Elsa.
"Yes Elsie, I'm sure. I can't stay locked up here forever. I have to take a risk every now and again." The younger Elsa told the now named Elsie.
"Very well, Princess. Be careful." Elsie said as she lowered Elsa out of her window, after which she took off walking towards the town making sure her dark blue hood was up, so as not to draw attention to herself. Eventually, Elsa looked around a bit and started to head back for the palace when she felt a strong pair of hands grab her by her arm and lead her away from the palace.
"You're coming with us, Your Highness." The owner of the arms holding her, an older man, said to her as she was tied up and gagged, though not before she had time to scream.
"No point screaming, Princess. No one's gonna hear you." The man mocked Elsa, but then his jaw dropped as the goons carrying Elsa were dropped like stones, freeing Elsa. Before he had time to question what was going on, a chop to the back of his head knocked him out. Elsa panicked as she tried to get free of her restraints, which her rescuer noticed.
"Relax, I'll get you out of there." The person who saved Elsa said as he un-gagged and untied Elsa and to her surprise she noticed her savior was a boy about her age, maybe a year or two older at the most.
"Th-thank you. You saved my life." Elsa finally said once she found her voice. The boy who rescued her smiled and stick out his hand.
"Not a problem, it was the right thing to do. I'm Scorch, but you can call me Scor for short." The now named Scor said as he introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you, Scor. I am Elsa." Elsa replied smiling as she shook Scot's hand. Scor helped her up.
"If you don't mind my asking how did you end up tangled up with those pinheaded goons?" Scor asked.
"I was on my way home when I was kidnapped by the guy you knocked out. I shudder to think what they might've done had you not been here." Elsa said.
"It's just as well I was passing through this way on my way to my uncle Dam's shop it would seem." Scor said.
"You seem like a nice sort. Shall we be friends?" Elsa asked. Scor smiled at her as they met each other's gaze briefly.
"I'd like that, Elsa. You seem like a nice girl yourself." Scor smiled, but then he frowned.
"Unfortunately, I have to go to work for my uncle. Shall I walk you home first?" Scor offered.
"Thanks, but I can handle myself." Elsa said with a smile, then before Scor could leave, she surprised him with a quick peck on the cheek.
"That's for saving my life." Elsa said. Scor nodded his acknowledgement.
"Fair enough. Nice meeting you, Elsa." Scor said as he left. Elsa smiled as she watched him leave before getting back to the palace.
(Flashback end-Present Day)
"So he saved your life once? Sounds like a brave guy. How come you've never invited him to the palace?" Anna asked.
"Because he moved away a couple weeks after we met, but not before he had one last chance to see me." Elsa said.
(Flashback- 2 weeks after Scor saved Elsa)
"What do you mean, you're moving Scor? You're the only friend I have!" Elsa said after she heard Scor's announcement.
"Relax, Else. I have to move to another kingdom because my uncle got a job overseas as a blacksmithy for royalty. But I knew I had to see you one last time first." Scor explained.
"Don't go with him. I'd miss you too much." Elsa said crying slightly. Scor saw this and gently used a finger to wipe off the tears.
"Listen to me, Else. I may be moving but that doesn't mean we won't always be best friends. Nothing could change that. And nothing can change the fact that I'll always be with you right here." Scor said to Elsa, tapping the spot on her chest where her heart was, getting slightly embarrassed as his hand touched bare skin where it tapped.
'I know, but I'll miss you, Scor. You're my best friend." Elsa said as she leaned into Scor's chest, as she hugged her friend close. Scor smiled as he hugged her back, putting an arm around her as he did.
"I realize that, but there's nothing I can do about it. My uncle relies on me to keep his smithy business afloat. If I could I'd stay with you, you know that." Scor said as he gently tucked a stray strand of blonde hair behind Elsa's left ear. He then used his finger to dry her tears again. He then leaned in and pecked her on the cheek, to her surprise.
"Something to remember me by, Else." Scor said as unbeknownst to him, his uncle took a picture of them hugging. Elsa smiled.
"Well, I guess this is good-bye, Scor. Promise you'll never forget me." Elsa said, as Scor surprised her by gently taking her hand and turning her to face him again.
"This isn't good-bye forever, you know. I'm sure we'll see each other again someday." Scor said.
"Promise?" Elsa asked. Scor smiled.
"Promise." Scor agreed as they shook on it, and Elsa left, leaving her friend behind for what would be the last time for a long time.
(End flashback- return to present day)
"But to this day, I''ve had no word from Scor. Just one letter from his uncle, giving me that picture saying Scor wanted me to have it to remember him by." Elsa finished her tale, leaving Anna and Olaf speechless.
"Did you ever try looking his uncle up?" Anna asked her sister. Elsa sighed.
"I have, but it comes up a dead end everytime. I've come to accept that unless he comes to me, we're unlikely to meet again." Elsa said.
"Don't give up, Elsa. You never know what could happen." Anna said smiling. Elsa raised an eyebrow in her sister's direction.
"So anyways, how come Kristoff hasn't been around lately?" Elsa asked in an attempt to change the subject.
"He's been busy with his job as the kingdom's ice master. Also, he's been spending time with his family of late." Anna replied.
"You mean the Pabbies? I struggle to see how they're related." Elsa said.
"They adopted him as friends. That's as far as I know." Anna replied.
"Fair enough." Elsa said, then she yawned. Anna smirked.
"Sounds like someone's ready for a nap." Anna said.
"Yeah, I guess I should catch a nap while I can." Elsa said as she laid down, and was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Anna quietly gathered Olaf, turned off the lights, and closed the door behind them as she and Olaf left Elsa to rest.
(Elsewhere, with Kristoff and Sven)
"Sheesh, who knew working with the Queen could be such busy work?" Kristoff grumbled to his friend, Sven the reindeer. Sven nodded his agreement, thinking of the ice bogie monsters he and Kristoff had finished escorting to the icy prison that was once Elsa's icy castle, but was now a prison guarded by her icy bodyguard Marshmallow.
"Still, it does pay well, so I can't really complain about it all that much." Kristoff said after a moment. Sven nodded then looked around and noticed something that made his eyes go wide as he tried to walk off to investigate, something Kristoff was quick to notice.
"What's the rush, Sven?" Kristoff asked, then his eyes went wide as Sven gently nudged his head towards what he'd seen, and Kristoff's jaw dropped as he saw an unconscious person lying on the shoreline facedown. Kristoff quickly ran off with Sven to check on the person and found that on closer inspection, the person was a male, with raven hair.
"Quickly we have to get him to the Pabbies." Kristoff said as he carefully strapped the unconscious make to Sven's back, and they ran off to find the Pabbies.
(Back at the palace)
Elsa was thrashing around in her bed, appearing to be caught in a nightmare.
(In Elsa's nightmare, WARNING: Possible torture and minor M-rated stuff)
"Let me go! I'm warning you, when my father hears about this, he'll-" Elsa threatened the men holding her captive.
"Do nothing. If he tries anything we'll send you back to him in pieces." The leader of her captors sneered. He then motioned to his men to tie Elsa up.
(begin M-rated scene)
Elsa's main captor watched her be tied up before reaching over and giving her dress a tug, smirking as it split open in the front, falling to either side of her to reveal her chest and privates.
"You'll develop nicely, I think." The lead captor said as he ran a finger over Elsa's left nipple, stroking it gently. Elsa shuddered at the sensation, despite enjoying it slightly. She then tensed slightly when his hand moved down to her stomach and gently rubbed her belly before moving between her legs to explore her womanhood, despite her attempts to kick him off her. Needless to say she was humiliated. Moreso when he went to violate her further. Just as he was going to penetrate her, the scene vanished.
(End M-rated scene, and Elsa's nightmare)
Elsa sat up in a cold sweat, shuddering slightly at the vivid nature of her nightmare, as she realized it was a preview of what could have been if Scor hadn't been there to rescue her that day all those years ago, making her even more grateful he saved her, and then causing her to miss her friend. Unbeknownst to the queen of Arendelle, he was much closer than she thought...
(With Kristoff and the Pabbies)
"Kristoff, you did good to bring the patient to us when you did. Had he been left there much longer he'd have caught chill, or worse. As is, he'll just have a nasty bump on his head, and possible short term amnesia. If we're lucky, he'll just be in a lot of pain. But he looks a lot like the prince of Weselton." the lead Pabbie said as he looked the boy over.
"But the queen ordered all ties be severed between Weselton and Arendelle!" Kristoff said, remembering what Anna told him of Duke Weselton's punishment for his part in the attempted coup on the throne.
"True, but this is someone who I sense is fleeing from Weselton. Why that is, I know not. But I sense a great power dormant in this boy. I think he could be the chosen one." The lead Pabbie said.
"Chosen one?" Kristoff said in surprise. Sven nodded his agreement of Kristoff's question.
"Yes, chosen one. You see, there is a prophecy kept by us Pabbies that has been generations in the making. It goes like this:
When the corrupt warlord seeks to topple the kingdom of Arendelle
One born with fire and one born with ice shall come
Though the master of fire knows it not, he is destined to be Ice's saviour
And ultimately be the one to thaw Ice's Frozen heart
And united they can bring an end to the corrupt one's terrible plans
But separate, both are doomed to fail, and the kingdom will be lost
Only by trusting in each other can the chosen heroes succeed
Bring together the powers of Fire and Ice
And a miracle shall occur that will shape the end of the battle
Fire must be one with ice or all is destined to be lost
So beware of these words, for they must be needed." The lead Pabbie recited as he found the scroll with the prophecy.
"One born with fire and one born with ice? Could the ice one be Elsa?" Kristoff mused. Sven shrugged.
"I think this boy could be the one born with fire, though his fire is still dormant and untapped." the lead Pabbie said to Kristoff.
"What should we do, o mighty lead Pabbie?" Kristoff asked the lead Pabbie.
"For now, nothing. But when he recovers, we should take him to meet with Queen Elsa, for I sense he knows her already." The lead Pabbie replied.
"Hopefully Elsa will be recovered enough to receive visitors by then." Kristoff mused. Right then, a groan from behind Kristoff and the lead Pabbie told them their guest was awake.
"Who are you? And where are we? And how did we get here?" Scor asked. Kristoff turned to face Scor.
"To your questions, I am Kristoff, this is Pabbie prime, the leader of the Pabbies, and the reindeer is Sven. We are in the valley of the Pabbies, and Sven and I carried you here." Kristoff replied.
"I see. Might you be able to direct me to Arendelle? I was headed there to try and find an old friend to surprise her before I was attacked." Scor said.
"We were planning to take you there anyways. Turns out you and the queen of Arendelle may be the subject of an ancient Pabbie prophecy." Kristoff said.
"Why would the queen of Arendelle have anything to do with me, much less a prophecy?" Scor asked with a raised eyebrow. Kristoff smirked.
"Does the name Elsa ring any bells to you?" Kristoff asked. Scor's jaw dropped at this.
"Else is the queen of Arendelle?" Scor asked in shock, then fainted from the surprise.
Pabbie prime and Kristoff looked at each other.
"Here we go again." Kristoff said as he loaded Scor onto Sven, as they started the journey to Arendelle, unaware of the reprocussions of the reunion they would witness...
