Chapter Text
Ugh! Why must father make me do such trivial things in the court?! I am the princess, not some steward or maid to do the court work! Elsa thought with a sigh as she fell back on her bed with a long sigh. The last week had been hellashish. Father Winter had been working Elsa constantly, and the place was a ghost town without Jack to work the whole place up. Elsa stretched out and yawned, finally closing her eyes. Elsa being half spirit half human still needed to sleep and eat, like all humans do.
- Elsa’s Dream-
Hello, there child. It is I, Pitch; your savior, your master. Said a tall dark figure in the silhouette of a man.
What?! I do not even know you! What makes you my master? Elsa said throwing a wave of ice towards the man, which only seemed to merely annoy him.
My dear child, do not be angry with me, because it will not end well. To answer your question, I hold Jack’s life in my hand. Pitch said holding a small image of Jack in his hands. Only he who wields the flying fire, the healing light, and the summer rain will be able to save him now.
Images flickered in Elsa’s mind, A black dragon, a beautiful flower, and small balls of energy.
What does that even mea-
-Elsa’s room-
Elsa woke with a start. What could the man mean by he who fields flying fire, healing light, and summer rain? She looked out her window to see the sun rising.
Sigh, I can never get a good nights sleep anymore. Well, I guess I better get up now and make the most of the day.
Elsa got up and walked to her bathroom to prepare the long, hot bath she would need to truly wake up.
-1 hour later in Elsa’s room-
Elsa had just got out of the bathroom, steam flooding into her room. She hurried to her window and shut it. Turning, she saw her dresser where she kept her royal attire, but seeing how her entire day would be away from the court, she decided to walk to her bedside drawer and pull out her normal attire.
She chose to put on one of her blue tunics to which were worn and torn with years of use.
Ah these were always more comfortable than any old dress, Elsa thought as she put on one of her undershirts she always wore, than slipping the tunic over it. Elsa walked over to her mirror to inspect how she looked.
“Hello there, Elsa.” Said Mystic from inside the mirror
“Mystic?!” Elsa screeched with surprise. “What are you doing in my mirror?” Elsa said with a curious voice.
“Well, I was wondering if you would like to take me up on that offer I made earlier, and your mirror is quite comfy.” Mystic said with a smug smile as she leaned on the mirror’s edge.
“Sigh, Sure why not I have nothing better to do, and spying on Jack sounds kinda fun.” Elsa said ignoring Mystic’s sarcastic tone, stupid answers.
Mystic jumped through the mirror as if it wasn’t there.
“Shouldn’t you put some pants on first?” Mystic said with a smile
A blush graced Elsa’s face, making her beat red as she grabbed her undergarments and a pair of blue pants.
“Shut it, I was going to put these on. Would you mind turning around to let me get dressed?” Elsa said waving her hands in the air frantically.
“Sure I don't see why not.” Mystic said chuckling.
-a frozen lake near January Junction-
“Jack is this a nice place to hide the sleigh?” Snip asked loudly crashing it into the snow.
“Well it’s as good as any I suppose. Jack said jumping out of the sleigh, staff in hand.
“We should head into town and see if we can find a place to stay.” Holly said jumping out of the sleigh, landing on the ice only to slide and fall on her butt. Holly giggled at how she couldn't stand on ice right; she was one of the best ice skaters in the Kingdom.
“Alright. I say we split up and try to find a place once we do that we can meet in the square.” Snips said, only to be ignored by the other two members of his party due to their astonishment of the ice.
-20 minutes later-
-
Snip had finally got Holly and Jack walking towards town.
“You two will be the end of me.” Snip said with a sigh.
Holly and Jack snickered at Snip’s ‘father complex’ or so Jack called it. Snip seemed more like a second father than a friend sometimes.
The trio of friends soon reached the outskirts of the small town, January Junction. Jack had went to see Alyssa, Snip went to see the tavern, and Holly went to see the mayor of the town.
Jack and Alyssa talked for hours about the snow, ice and even how current events were.
Snip and a fine young Tavern mistress were getting along quite fine.
Holly and the mayor were currently discussing Kubla Krous and how Holly shouldn’t try talking to him.
-Kubla’s Castle-
Kubla had no friends. He had his many robots, but no one that loved him. Well there was that one girl... Marie, his daughter. He had found her out in the rain one evening, abandoned.
-12 years prior on a rainy night filled with chill and fear-
Hmm what is this? Kubla said as he passed by a small town. Why its a basket with a baby inside! All alone and afraid. You must have been abandoned too. Kubla will take you in. Kubla always wanted to be father!
-Kubla’s Castle-
“Father what will you like me to do about our new visitors down in January Junction? Do you think they could be the ones he warned us of? The ones who seek your throne?” Marie said sitting down at the table where her father was stuffing his face.
“Ha! Let them be! What could they do me? I am Kubla Krous! You may check them out if you want, but I will do nothing.” Kubla said as he tore the meat off of a leg of chicken.
Marie rolled her eyes at her father and jumped out her and ran to the door.
“Father you must be more careful, but lucky you I am here to help protect m- your throne.” Marie said as she closed the door silently cursing herself for almost slipping up;infront of her father too.
Ugh I why must my master test my patience so? Ive kept up my promise so far ive killed everyone who was supsipictis and entered the town. Maybe this time I should feed them to Knightmare. Ah yes I do like the sound of that, he must be very hungry by now anyways. Alittle ride into town pick them up and offer to show them around the castle, pretend to be innocent and that Father was making me do those terrible things than when they are trying to leave i will say “Come with me hurry! I know way that will get you guys out without Father interfering!” hahahahahahahahahaha I love it already! Well all there is to do now is to go meet them.~
