Nighttime at the enchanted forest
Ryder : Thank goodness Nokk led me to the prison where you were captured!
Elsa : Where is Nokk now? And what is wrong with Bruni?
On their arrival here Elsa ran into Bruni who didn't act as usual and was aggressively firing all around
Ryder : Elsa...all the spirits are raging. They are feeling insecre and sensing a rising danger. And all of them are combining their powers to form this blizzard...
She stared at the incomplete mist, her mind racing with horror.
Elsa : What?! No...I won't let that happen. Not again!...
'Alright let's be collected'
...Where is Maren?
Ryder : Maren is sleeping at the moment but she is okay...
She turns to see Kristoff alive and well, she runs up and hugs him
"Kristoff! I'm so glad you are alright!"
Kristoff : I'm also glad Elsa...
Elsa : What happened whiel I was locked away?
K: Hans happened...several days ago
Kristoff looks down as he recalls the events prior
A few days earlier
On their way Olaf is curious about the power hungry troll Pabbie mentioned earlier and asks what happened to him
Olaf : Sorry. But wait who is Brom or Bron?
Pabbie seems pained by the memory but tells the story anyway, spinning his shadows to illsutrate
Grand Pabbie : Over my long life, there were many who have sought the mystery that Ahtohallan keeps before Elsa came in. Hundreds of years ago, an elder in our tribe named Bron sought to harness magical elements of earth, fire, water and air. Some trolls naturally have the abiltiy to control earth, and Bron was one of those few...
...Despite his wisdom and power, there came a time when abnormally cold winters started to threaten Arendelle and the valley we call home. No one in our tribe had ever been able to channel the element fo fire but for the good of all, Bron found a way. The magic he learned fought back the cold and saved may lives...
...but slowly it changed him...He wanted more but when it came to the fifth element of ice, it was not so easily mastered. The only way to harness that power was to take it from a natural source. Our tribe began to see his soul, twisting toward the dark and we knew if he was ever to control all of the elements, our realm might be bent to his will. A battle ensued for control of the tribe and we managed to defeat Bron, exiling him forever. However as he fled, he vowed vengeance and warned us he'd return, wielding the hidden power that Ahtohallan keeps. He went north and was never seen again..."
This story for sure left Olaf and the others concerned
Maren : I've heard stories of a troll once reaching Ahtohallan, with the eyes glowing as red as fire. Was that?...
Pabbie : Indeed, he was very dangerous. I am not certain why he resurfaced now but make no mistake, he will prove to be a difficult challenge when we find him...or maybe he finds us.
Kristoff : Now that's not good. We have to warn Elsa
Anna : We don't even know where Elsa is. Besides I've already tried to call Gale but he is not answering. What should we do?
Jane : Alright everyone let's be calm. Instead of overthinking on things, let's do what we can at the moment.
Tarzan who was overhearing everything inclding the story of Bron, was also concerned. He faced off agaisnt magical foes before but he may be on a different league.
Tarzan : ~Aah aah~
'So that is the voice of Ahtohallan? But why does it call me?'
Maren : You still hearing it Tarzan?
Tarzan looks at Maren who noticed his behavior
Tarzan : Yes, I hear someone singing... actually have been hearing for a while now. I don't know why but I think it's possibly Ahtohallan
Maren eyes widened in surprise "The voice of Ahtohallan. Elsa told us how she also had such experiences before she became a spirit."
Tarzan : I heard Ahtohallan is an ancient river, does it have a consciousness?
Maren giggles
Maren : It's the source of spiritual magic and the mother of all the spirits in the forest. There's a lullaby about it and according to the lyrics, it sings to those who'll hear and it sang to Elsa using a memory of her mother...or as Elsa told us, it was her spirit.
Tarzan blinked a few times, scratching his head 'Spirit of our mother? Is it possible?'
Mattias then arrived at the scene, he seems to be distressed
Anna : what is it Mattias?
Mattias : Your majesty, Professor Porter came back, with an injured arm...
Jane : What is he okay? What happened?
Mattias : From what I understand, he was researhing with Lord Sorensen when something attacked them...unfortunately Lord Sorensen has perished
Kristoff : That's definitely not good
Mattias : And that's not all someone stole all the weapons in the castle, we can't find them anywhere.
Close to the window, Tarzan then started to hear some strange sounds coming from the outside
It was like a ship was approaching...more than one.
Maren : What is it?
Tarzan stood up as he crawled to the center, everyone looks at him puzzled except for Pabbie who became somewhat alarmed
Anna : Tarzan what are you-
Tarzan : Anna I feel like we are in trouble.
Pabbie : Yes I sense it too
Then at that moment, they hear a horn being blown outside
Tarzan : What was that?
Kristoff : It's a blowing horn! Seems we've got some unplesant visitors!
A guard comes into the room "Your highness! General Mattias! Multiple ships are approaching Arendelle! You must leave at once!"
Everyone then stands up in surprise and shock
Olaf tries to act as a tough captain "What kind of ships are they commander?"
Commander : WARSHIPS! From many kingdoms across the globe, led by the kingdom fo the Southern Isles!
Anna and Kristoff looked at each other in shock
Anna gasps 'No it can't be'
Kristoff : Hans.
Outside of Arendelle
Warships are not so far behind, they are heading towards Arendelle
They prepare their weapons and guns to fire
Hans Westerguard smirks, his eyes glowing 'It seems the demise of these siblings is just destined to be'
"Man up the guns! Steady! Go!"
The trembling was heard all arond the castle
Anna "Ah! What is hapopening!?"
Mattias : Please leave!
Anna : ...N-no
Kristoff puts a hand on her shoulder
Kristoff : Anna c'mon.
Anna wa reluctant but slowly she nods
Kristoff : Honeymaren! Olaf! Sven! And you two! Follow me!
Before she leaves with them, she turns to Pabbie
Anna : Pabbie...please don't let them hurt our people
Pabbie : I will try my best
She nods as he goes after the others
Pabbie turns to the commander "Commander, ship all the people into the castle immediately until it's safe"
Commander agrees and together they head outside where the people of Arendelle were in panic, running away from the line of fire as the Hans' men were shooting
Hans : Keep bombarding!
"YES SIRE!"
The cries of the citizens were heard all around the kingdom
Through the secret passage
Everyone followed Kristoff through the pathway in the secret room which led them underground all the way to the hidden spot behind a watefall
Olaf : Wow cool
Kristoff : This cave was made in case soemthing fishy happens
Tarzan : Let's hope it is leading away from Arendelle
Honeymaren : We must reach the enchanted forest quickly!
They resumed to go through until the ground began to tremble and crack like an icycle
Jane asks worried
Jane : What...what's this?
It seems the bombardment is causing enough damage for the cave to start crumbling
The parts they were standing on were completely gone
Kristoff : No no no no no!
Kristoff tries to get hold but fails as him, Olaf and Jane are sent hurling down the river
Tarzan : JANE!
Kristoff : ANNA KEEP GOING!
Olaf : UNDER THE SEA!~
Anna was devastated, as she screams very loudly
Sven looks at her in sadness
The citizens were gathered in the castle just as Pabbie
They see the enemy ships closer by the second
Pabbie : They've arrived
Hans and his men come down from his ship to the village entrance as he orders "Attack!"
They swarm into the kingdom, aiming for the castle where Mattias awaits them
Commander : General we have low weapons, we are no match for them!
Mattias knew they didn't stood much of a chance. But they need to buy Pabbie some more time
The eerie whistle of death was felt within his body.... as his mind reluctantly r
ealises that maybe he will not come out of this alive....
'It seems that I will fall in this battle... Your highnesses... Hamila.... Glacia... Be well.'
Remembering his wife and daughter, he said determined
"For Arendelle! ATTACK!"
He slammed his sword at his shield, signaling the arendelle guards to make possibly their last stand
It was long and brutal fight
They were not weak but at the end of it all, they were outnumbered
Mattias even challenged Hans and they were even for moments, however he was not as young as the Prince of the Southern Isles who was also much more skilled
In the midst of the conflict, the warships kept firing
Mattias quikly reacted to where it was about to hit
Mattias : LOOK OUT!
Mattias dashed forwards and moved the commander out of the way
Commadner was saved but sadly the same couldn't be said about Mattias who got a direct hit and was instantly obliterated
Commander screaemd in horror "SIREEE!"
From afar Pabbie sensed commander's screams and his face took on a saddened expression
Hans : CAPTURE THE SOLDIERS! AND COME ON!
Gerda : AH They are coming to us at the castle!
Pabbie then stood in front of them, ready to cast a spell
"OH SARBULOUS CRYSTALS OF THE EARTH! GIVE ME THE POWERS TO SECURE THIS LAND! GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO DEFEND MY HOMELAND!"
As he yelled out his words, the earth around the castle began to shift forming a massive barrier over Pabbie and the people within
Hans : Wow! What is that!?
Professor holds his injured arm not to hurt it as he looks on astonished
Professro : Are we...?
Pabbie : We are safe
Professor and citizens were relieved to hear this
Halima who was among them asks Pabbie if Mattias wass alright, with worst case cenario already playing in her mind
" General Mattias is no more"
Hamila gasps with her hands covering her mouth as Kai and Olina try to console her
"Mom where is dad?"
They all froze in place as they see Glacia, who was standing there wtih them and trembling
"He is okay right? right?"
Hamila goes and hugs her teary eyed
Glacia : Right?
Professor wipes off her tears as he looks at her
"I am very sorry child"
Jane : Agh where are we?
Her butt and back are hurting
Olaf's body parts were seperated as he pulls for them together
Olaf : Definitely not water he he
Kristoff rubs his eyes as he looks onward "It seems we landed on a rock which going TO SINK!?
They look onward to see the river ending on the other side, leading to the waterfall
They held onto each other ina hug as they slide down the water with Olaf singing lyrics
Jane : WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Olaf : SIGNIGN OF COURSE! INTO THE UNKOWN!
Anna was on her knees, crying helplessly as she hugs herself
Honeymaren : Anna...
Anna : I've lost everyone...
Tarzan crawled over to her and Sven
Anna : ...Now the enchanted forest is in danger too...Our sister is who knows where...
She looks at Tarzan "Now Kristoff and Jane are gone too..."
Tarzan "Wait you don't know that-"
Anna : ...I'm sorry Tarzan... for getting you into all of this mess
Tarzan then grabs her by her arms, just careful enoguh to not harm the belly "Pull yourself together!"
Anna's eyes widen , staring at her little brother who sounded angry "Anna you are a queen! So act like it instead of falling down!"
Anna : You have all the right to be angry with me
Tarzan : Anna please stop. I know how this feels... to be hopeless, to feel like you failed everyone and that feeling does't go away as easily...but remember what I told you it's not your fault.
Honeymaren : You shouldn't count those three out yet, they may still be alive
Tarzan agrees "Of course, me and Jane were in way worse situations before"
Sven also rubs her cheeks against her shoulder in agreement
Anna giggles at Sven's doing, as she says the same "So were we. There were many times that I've seen only darkness but deep down thee was a light that never went out"
Tarzan smiles at his sister as she seemingly regains her composure
And in that moment they all were taken aback as on one of the walls in the cave began to glow up taking on a form what appears to be a big keyhole of light
____________
I feel sorry for Glacia because she has yet to know her own part in her father's demise. And yes Mattias is dead.
And guess what that keyhole means?
Also Olaf's optimism is worth a praise hehe.
