HISTORY Roxy are one of the childhood friends to Sora, Riku and Kairi. She have a strong bond, and a lasting friendship to the three of them, Roxy always had a pure heart. Something that Maleficent had been interested in, to wipe that light out and turn it to darkness. The fae have tried many times to turn Roxy's heart into hatred, and jealusy. So she could have the girl to stand on her side. But, even how hard Maleficent tried, Roxy refused to let her heart sink into the darkness. She knew the evil fae's words was nothing, but only posion. But that wont stop Maleficent, she will still try to bother the young girl. Roxy descovered her magic when she was 15, the time when Destiny Islands was connected to other relams, by the portal of darkness. Roxy's magic had always been lingering inside her veins, but she never knew anything about them, until that day she awaked it. She choose to use her powers, and strenght for the light. While she fought against the evil to protect Kingdom Hearts with Sora and the others.
Roxy're still toge
"Our forces are dwindling. We need more allies." The general spoke. He held a crystal in his hand, which shot out a display message for the gathered leaders to see. Soldiers with wings & bright silhouettes were falling from left & right, as small imps of darkness were overwhelming the paladin-like figures. On a chair of crystal stone, a man in his younger years sat, observing the battle on the display. His hand reached his chin, and a small frown laid upon his face.
A captain pulled another crystal from his side, and grasped it firmly in his hands. Another image shot up. This was from another place, another world. A miasma of darkness was hailing from the sky, and a fortress that was shining bright became dimmed by the enroaching blackness. The rain seemed to be black, but upon closer inspection - one could see that these were not raindrops, but monsters & mutations completely made up of the dark miasma. The world had become infested with chaos - It had fallen to the void.
"The worlds under our protection are starting to slip from our grasp. Soon, we won't be able to protect Mother Light. They will come for her." Faraad continued as he looked down at the boylike man, sitting on his crystal chair.
"I will gather more champions. You will hold the title of Commander until i return with them. Can you do that for me?" The boy-commander spoke. He looked at Faraad with gentle eyes. Faraad nodded slightly & closed his eyes for a moment. "I will do what is needed of me." He accepted. Anduin nodded back. He looked at the captain to the left.
Faraad looked at his young friend & commander. "Have you found any champions that will be able to help us overcome this threat?" He asked, and Anduin looked at him. "I have. I've had my eyes on a gifted few that struggles against their own darkness. They will need our help, and we will need their might." He stated firmly. Faraad looked surprised. A woman of a peculiar race stood next to the boy-commander's chair. Her head was adorned with two great horns which were rotated backwards, and her skin was pale like moonlight. Her hair was that of white & the texture silky, gathered in a high ponytail. Her eyes shone brightly like purple crystal orbs, making her pupils very hard to observe. She looked at her commander as she tilted her head slightly & smiled, albeit not in surprise. She had seen her commander looking into a large crystal, observing his chosen champions.
"So mighty are they, that they will be able to turn the battle?" Faraad asked the boy-commander, imagining paladins in great heavy armor with greatswords that burned with fiery vengeance.
Anduin nodded, then rose from his chair. "I believe so. Now, i need to prepare. Mirelle, come with me." He said, laid his hand on Faraad's shoulder & walked past him through the gates. Mirelle, one of the gathered generals, quickly saluted behind her commander. "Yes, sire." She said, as she followed him through the gates.
"Roxy!" Riku shouted, looking around the beach. He could see Sora & Kairi in the distance, sitting on the bridge that overlooked the harbor to the island. He turned his head around, looking to the small patch of tropical palms at the beachside. He walked over to the palms, his feet sinking into the sand as he wandered. He thought he could see the strands of pink hair flowing behind a small hill, beneath the palms.
"There you are." Riku said & smiled gently at Roxy. She seemed preoccupied with drawing something, sitting on a small boulder beneath the hill & palms. She turned her head slightly, as to not break her concentration, and smiled back warmly.
The Keyblade wielders had no idea what waited ahead for them, that people from another universe was making their way to their home world. But they did know that Malefecint are back, and with new puppets, as she calls them the Gifted. However Mickey only knew this about Anduin, who was coming. The king was the one who had contacted the royal young man, and made promise that they will help each other.
Mickey thought the more help they can get, the better it will be. Anduin world are also in need for help so the kind soul Mickey truly are, he give his word to the young man and will help him and his people.
After all Maleficent are not only the threat to the worlds, Mickey know that Master Xehanort has to do something behind this. There are no such power Mickey had seen before that only belonged to Xehanort's heartless and nobody, who're also back in the game again with their wicked plans once more.
Mickey was in his homeworld, Disney Castle. Together with the Queen, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Daisy. The girls left the room as the King, and his friends sended a voice massage to Anduin. "We'll be waiting for you in the world named, Destiny Islands. I hope to see you there soon, my friend!" Mickey said in the voice massage, and sended it away to his new friend. The mouse King then turned around and faced his two friends, Donald and Goofy. "Alright my friends!" He clapped his hands together with a wide smile on his face. "It's about time we will fly over to Sora and the gang and tell them before our guest do." The king spoke, Goofy chuckled, "Let's go!" Donald happily spoke aloud.
Chip and Dale made so their Gummi ship was ready for them to leave, Disney Castle, "Fly safe!" Minnie mouse said, who was with Daisy, the both of them was waving goodbye.
Sora sat together with Kairi, on the edge of the bridge dipping their toes in the water. Since they had returned back home to Destiny islands, the two of them haven't been able to spend much time together. Sora had missed to spend time with the girl, who he knew had his heart in a tight grip. His attention was then grabbed, when he had heard Riku's voice, he was calling for Roxy.
The Keyblade master smiled to himself, as he saw his friends was united again. He knew that both of them had missed each other from been separated for so long, and the long journey they had been through, during the adventure of saving worlds, and keeping each other safe.
When Riku's heart fell into the darkness, by jealusy because of the evil fae, Maleficent and Xehanort's heartless, Ansem. Who both manipulated the boy, turning him against his friends. It was not easy for either Sora or Roxy to see as their friend slipped away, and to be the victim of abuse. Mostly for Roxy, who cared already so much for him, it was then Maleficent took her chance to break the young girls heart, by using the boy. When the evil was defeated, Riku fell once more into the darkness, there was no way out from it, but he was brought back. Not only by himself, but from the light of Roxy and Mickey. Who never gived up to save him. However the darkness will always be in his heart, but he is one of the very few Keyblade wielders, who can balance it with the light magic he have in his heart.
Both the teens had their sense and attention for the battles, which was against Ansem, Xemnas, Xehanort's heartless and nobody. As for their battle to stop Maleficent. But, finally until now they could think of something else, then darkness and battle.
Roxy heard Riku call her name, while drawing nothing in particular in the sand. The girl tilted her head slightly up, and smiled warmly when the boy approached her. He took his seat next to her on the boulder, and she made some space for him as they sit beneath the hill and palms, with the veiw of the sea and the colorful sky. Roxy seemed to be concentrated, but not in the drawing she made in the sand. It's all inside of her head, where she had a lot of thoughts spinning around. "Yeah, here I am." Roxy softly giggled and met his loving gaze.
"One new adventure is waiting for us." Roxy spoke about the new journey, which is waiting a head for them. That Mickey had gived them some hints about there will be people to help them. Guardians of light, he calls them. Her eyes left from his, as they drift over to the sea.
And then there are the Gifted ones, who the evil fae have summoned. To create chaos between the worlds and heroes.
But why did Maleficent do this, what was she really after more then power? It can't be Kingdom Hearts she is after anymore. "I wonder if Maleficent have ever grown tierd of been alone." Roxy then placed the stick back in the sand, and met Riku's gaze again. "Makes me wonder, why she had grown so attached to the darkness. What really happend to her, to fall so deep into it?" Roxy couldn't but feel sorry for the evil fae, who had fallen so deeply into revange and hatred. "I believe that everyone deserves a second chance." Even after what Maleficent had done to Riku, and to her friends. She had the soul who could forgive people.
Riku was silent, looking out over the ocean while sitting near Roxy. He had known anger, fear & distrust. He knew first hand how negativity can completely overtake your being. Maleficent was not just a villain, she was a victim of the darkness that lingers in all souls. She had not wanted her wings to be stolen, she had not wanted to be betrayed by the love of her life. Still, she was - And now she was paying the price for something which she had not asked for.
"Thanks to you, i believe so too." Riku said, turning his head slightly when he spoke to Roxy. He placed his hand upon hers, which she used to support herself on the rock. He wasn't particularly shy about it. Roxy instantly blushed & smiled a little. Riku reacted by smirking happily.
A humming sound was heard, reminiscient of a bumblebee. It came from the horizon to the north of the island. A gummi ship came into view. Sora rose from his seated position on the harbor bridge, as did Kairi. They waved for Roxy & Riku to get over to them, and they did. Riku grabbed Roxy firmly by her wrist & she had little time to grab her drawing book & pens before he pulled her as they jogged to the bridge.
The gummi ship hovered closely & parked just in front of the young friends. A large mechanical door clicked open, and out wandered King Mickey, followed by Goofy & Donald.
"Hiya, friends!" Mickey said aloof. Sora flew at the king & hugged him tightly. "Mickey! Donald, Goofy!" Sora shouted happily, as Riku, Roxy & Kairi all joined in for a group hug.
After they had calmed themselves, Mickey dusted himself off while looking at the young keyblade champions. "I hope i'm not too late. He should be arriving shortly." He said with an eager tone. Just at that moment, a distortion started taking form on the beachside, next to the bridge. The group looked over & Sora looked as eager as ever. "Who?" Sora asked while grinning expectantly.
The distortion became larger & it seemed like reality itself was warping around a circle. Out stepped a boot that was adorned with golden lines. Then, a man with kingly vestments stepped out of the bubbling distortion. He wore a trenchcoat which was matched with trousers not unlike body armor. It had a blue coloring, and was lined with gold throughout. He had grand shoulderpads that was also royally adorned with gold. But what was most eyeturning was his fierce golden hair, reminiscient of that of a lion's mane. His blue eyes shot out from his messy hair, and he used his hands to put his long hair into a large ponytail. The man started to walk towards the group in the distance, and after him - Another stepped out of the distortion. This time, it was someone wholefully different. She was not human, nor was she an animal. Her horns had her seem like a demon, but her delicate tone of skin & shining purple eyes gave away a gentle look. She was almost twice as tall as the man before her, and she wore crystalline armor that gave away the impression that she was his bodyguard.
"Him." Mickey said and grinned, putting his hands on his hips. The young group of keyblade champions stared in awe at the approaching individuals. They had never seen such people before. Except, Sora was reminded of Simba when he laid eyes on the man approaching. He almost thought that the Lion King had turned into a man. But when he saw the woman behind him, he knew that this couldn't be true.
"Just in time, Commander!" Mickey shouted to the approaching pair. The man smiled warmly & the woman behind him walked up next to him. Riku looked stunned & couldn't help but stare at the horns that adorned the woman. She kneeled down to Riku's level & reached out with delicate fingers that were almost as white as snow. "Aren't you a handsome fellow!" She said with a loving tone as she grabbed one of his cheeks & pulled it gently. Riku didn't know how to react & only looked at his friends. Sora put his hand up to his mouth & tried to keep himself from snorting.
The man however, was quick to act. He grabbed her arm gently & pulled her from Riku. She frowned a little. "Now, now Mirelle. We're not here to scare them." He said and looked at her with a humorous smile. "Ofcourse, my lord." She replied hastily, rising up to her proud stature again. "I've told you to stop calling me that." He replied to her again. "Yes, sire." She ended. The man sighed deeply in response.
"Well, you've all been informed i assume?" The man asked the group, scanning them individually with his eyes. Mickey looked surprised & looked around. "Uh, ehm. Not yet." Mickey stammered & chuckled a little, scratching one of his large ears.
The man nodded in understanding.
The teens was met by the blue eyes, from the blonde young man who was commander of his company. He eyed everyone individual, and had a gentle smile on his face. Before he had spoken to Mickey, the mouse king was very happy to see them arrival, it was just just in time.
The female in the company was looking like a demon, of some sort. But, she was no demon, it's only her kin, her race. Her skin is as white like snow, crystal as eyes there's no pupil that could been seen in them, but they were friendly and kind. Her figure was very feminine, but her feet was like hoves and she was much taller then the human, who stood by her side.
The woman who had walked up to Riku giving him an compliment, or what seemd for the teens, that she was flirting with him. When the slender hand of hers, had just caressed Riku's cheek a strange, nail-like feeling stung Roxy's stomach. She suddenly felt irritated at the new female. Riku however, didn't know how to react. He looked over at his friends with eyes telling, he didn't know what to do. It was then the knot in Roxy's stomach, faded and she couldn't but giggle. Sora could not help himself, as he snorted in a laugher. Reacting did Kairi, who nagged Sora's shoulder with her elbow.
But then the blonde commander, spoke rather sharply but kind for the female to stop. She did, as the personality she had, changes to more serious than before. She called him lord, and he again sighed at her response, as he seem to not like to be called by your majesty, or my lord.
Mickey turns around and smiled warmly to his friends Sora, Riku, Roxy and Kairi. "Those people you see, they will help us fight against our darkness in our world. We need to stop Maleficent, who we know have already collected her puppets." Mickey said, the teens were in silnce and carefully listened to the king. "There are more than just her we need to watch out for." The mouse said, "What do you know Mickey?" Sora asked and kneeld down to Mickey's level, he could see Mickey was troubled.
"We defeated Master Xehanort, both his heartless and nobody. Are they back again?" Roxy felt a knot building up in her chest, by the thought of the master himself was back to life again. Mickey turned his eyes to her, and he nods. "I am afraid he is, my dear."
The mouse King then turned around again, and caught the eyes from Anduin. "I made you a promise to help your home world." Mickey said, now the teens was in silnce once more, from the shock of the news. "Your home is also in great danger, we will help you and you will help ours." Mickey smiled, and the Keyblade wielders nods agreed to help them.
"We will help you, that's what we do. To save people and their worlds." Sora was the first to speak, and gived Anduin a wide smile. "We will never watch a world fall into the darkness." The brunette eyed his friends who all looked at him. But, they couldn't deny Sora's positive attitude, which the boy always have to everything. Even at the first meeting, Sora would stand up and help people, a kind soul and a loyal heart he have.
Destiny islands was pretty, both Mirelle and Anduin thought nice of this world. With the tropical environment, the deep blue large sea, at twilight and dawn it most look magical to see the sunset. The thought that those kids most had a pretty good childhood, as a place like this to grow up in, and to be called home.
"So kids, you're all from this wonderful islands?" The commander asked, Sora're first again to reply. Looking at Riku and Roxy. "Me, Riku and Roxy, are all from the islands." He grinned. "We're childhood friends." Anduin and Mirelle, both smiled, that the teens had known each other for so long. But, it was visible that they had been friends for so long, as they are so close.
Sora then turned his loving gaze over to Kairi, who stood next to him. "Kairi is from a world once called, Radiant Garden. It's from her, we descovered there are other worlds." Sora said, and Kairi nodded. "I was teleported here, to get a new home and to be safe. While my world got destroyed by the darkness." The girl with the red hair spoke. "I dont have much memories left from this time." The girl added as there was a hint of sadness seen in her violet eyes.
"But, I could not have asked for a better home than Destiny islands, and to get friends like those people here." Kairi smiled warmly, Roxy gived Kairi a tight side hug. Mirelle smiled to the teens, and could sense their friendship was stronger, then what she had seen before. It was new to her and to her commander, to meet people like those kids. They had seen so much, and knew more then other in their age.
"Do your paretns know you're heroes, who are saving worlds from danger?" Mirelle asked with a smile. She was getting more curious, to know if people around the teens, also can travel and see that there are more worlds than just this one. Mickey now answered her question.
"Ah, about their parents, and the rest of the people here, who not wield the keyblade, or are chosen ones." Mickey begun. "They dont know about the out side worlds." The king added, "It's always been a secret, and it most stay that way, or it would be a threat to the worlds and the light." Mirelle rose her brow, not quite understanding why. "May I ask why?" The woman asked.
"No one can know about it, in wrong hands they can open doors which will lead to darkness. If that happens, the world get lost in the darkness realm." Mickey said and explained more in detail for the commander and Mirelle. "Is that what happend to your home world?" Mirelle asked Kairi, Mickey again replied as he was there with Aqua when it all happend.
"Master Xearnort's clone of himself, nobody we call them, it's a long story. He started it all over, with his powers of darkness. Every life in Radiant Garden was taken and begun as anew, the peoples lives was long forgotten. Replaces with new memorise, as to be "nobodys". It was then the master himself, created the Organisation XIII. A group of people without their hearts, and memories of who they truly are. A new beginning for him to start the world anew, where he could be the leader." The mosue king explained for his new firend, Anduin and his body guard the she-demon woman, the background and the villians.
"So there are many world waiting for us, which one should we visit first, do you think?" The king asked, and looked at the keyblade wielders, who looked at Mickey, Anduin and Mirelle, then back at each other.
Anduin thought for a moment about Mickey's statement about the world's in the reality they were visiting. Kairi's world had fallen strangely similar to how Mirelle's had. She had also been taken in as a refugee. The boylike commander also felt a strange connection when he looked upon Sora. The boy had an extraordinary spirit that made even Anduin feel giddy inside. He turned his eyes to look at the spiky-haired boy.
"Well, i take it you're the champion of "Kingdom Hearts"? Why don't you choose?" The commander said as he rested his eyes on the boy. Sora was taken aback & looked at his friends & the commander. He scratched his chin for a moment, unsure of where they would go. Riku, however, interrupted him. "Let's go where we might find clues to where Maleficent might be located." He spoke. The pary around him all looked at him questioningly. "Didn't she have a homeworld herself?" Riku asked as he turned to look at Mickey.
Mickey made a small grimace. "Yes she had, but i'm unsure of it's name. I am not even sure where it's located." Mickey said, putting his hands on his small hips. He looked at the commander, Anduin. "What do you think?" He asked the blonde, longhaired man.
"I think we should follow Riku's idea. If we can visit her homeworld, we might find clues of where to locate her." He said. He then turned to Sora again. "Was there any conduit for the light on her world?" He asked hastily. Sora looked confused, not understanding his question. "I mean, was there any resistance to her evil? Anyone that might have been of importance?" He corrected himself. Sora shrugged at the question. Mickey however, put his large hand in the air & smiled widely. "Yes! There is Aurora - The sleeping beauty. She is the princess of her kingdom & the very light of the kingdom." Mickey stated.
Anduin nodded then turned to Mirelle. "Dear Mirelle, we need the translocation map to find unspecified worlds in this dimension. It should be able to find all the worlds that has been reached by the light." He said. At that moment, Mirelle saluted her commander immediately. "Yes, sire. I'll be back in a moment." She turned & stomped down the sandy beach until she reached the shoreline. She gently stroked a crystalline slate that was adorned in the middle of her chestplate. It started to glow & a portal in spacetime rippled open. She walked through the distortion & disappeared.
But just a moment later, she returned out of thin air. She carried with her a strange technological instrument, no larger than a plate. "It is prepared for usage, sire." She stated as she reached the group again, handing the translocator to Anduin. He sighed. "Thank you, dear." He said, leaving out his desire to have her not call him by any title. Mirelle was oblivious however, then looked at the four young friends & smiled brightly.
The commander held out the instrument in front of the group with his left hand, and with his right, he made a signature on the plate-like instrument. It started to glow a bright purple, then generated a display. Sora, Riku, Kairi & Roxy all gaped in wonder at the beautiful hologram. They were confused however, they could see a flat disk-like circle, and several dots of differing colors in various ranges of sizes. Anduin saw their confusion.
"This." He swept his hand over the large circle-like display. "Is your dimension. Your existence, so to say. These balls of light, they are worlds that have been reached by the light. Or hope, as you would commonly call it." He pointed at the different colored dots of lights. "As you can see, one can see features of these worlds. Even continents. Look carefully, see if you can find the homeworld of Maleficent." He said, as the group scanned the display for any likeness. "There!" Mickey quickly said & pointed to a ball of green light. "That's where it is. The kingdom of Aurora belongs to a part of land just like that!" He said, and Anduin made the display bigger of the world that Mickey was pointing at. The hologram now showed a large planet, and one could clearly see a continent that was covered in lots of green.
The group gasped at the prospect of visiting Maleficent's own world, then looked at eachother. "Are you ready, champions?" The commander asked & looked at the four friends. Sora nodded with a determined smile. "Let's do this." He said, and they started to board Mickey's ship. Goofy & Donald were waiting by the ship doors.
Before the group set off to Enchanted Dominion. Kairi had taken Sora by his hand and gived him her lucky charm. She smiled to him, "I wont be coming this time." She said, Sora was suprised but understood she was not feeling ready for battle yet.
While shutting off the engine of the Gummi ship, the company moved out and stood outside of the castle. It was dark here, darker then the days Mickey remeber it. This kingdom used to have life, songs and light. But now, it was nothing but sadness and darkness in this world. Mickey hoped they were not too late. "Com'n guys, we need to see if people are in need of help!" Mickey said, and lead the group into the gates, still no sign of life as it was almost like the kingdom was under a curse.
"Is that rose thornes? It's all around the castle." Sora spoke and looked at Mickey, who are concentrated. "How do we get through it?" Roxy asked, Mickey had seen those thorns before, they was created by Maleficent's herself. Mickey reached his hand out and a light forms in his palm, as the light it strikes a hole threw the thorns.
The king turned to the company, "Be careful do not touch the thorns, they are poisoned." Mickey said. The company moved after the king, who lead them into the long way, through the thornes, which leads into the castle. Mirelle and Anduin had never seen a world like this before, where the castle of the kingdom is completly over taken by thorns, which is posioned to keep the enemy out, this fae must be very desperate for revenge.
As the group were out from the mess of thornes, they were in the hall of the castle. It was even as dark here like how it was outside. No people and the thornes were on the towering walls, some here and there on the large stone ground. Maleficent really had occupied this place. Marked it with her roses and dark magic.
"Remember to be careful. You never know what lingers here." Mickey warned, Roxy walked up to his side and rest a hand on the mouse king's shoulder. "It's alright, Mickey. We have after all faced her once before." She smiled. "And we wont let her have her way." Sora added, as he walked over to Roxy and the king.
The people of the kingdom was under a spell, a sleeping curse was created. And the company did not yet know how to break the curse.
In the shadows, was Maleficent herself who're watching the company. Her green eyes scanned the keyblade wielders, and then the two new faces. Mirelle, who also had horns like Maleficent herself, maybe this girl in the pale skin also was a fae. But she didn't look like one of Maleficent kind, but fairies was all different.
Then there was Anduin. Who looked very kingly and loyal. Something the evil fae hated the most, royal folk. She had never seen these two before, and they had grabbed her attention. A smirk was on her dark painted lips, and she disappeared into the shadows, holding her staff in her hand as the green globe slowly begun to shine.
"Well, well. See who have come to my Kingdom." A feminie voice spoke from the shadows, the company made themselves ready, and summon their keyblades. "If it's not the Keyblade wielders, and the king who are back." Maleficent's figure was first like a shadow on the wall, only her voice heard from the long hall. Then her footsteps was come closer, and she walked out from the shadows, stepping out into the moonlight.
"It makes me wonder, why have you come here?" The fae asked, still holding her hands on her staff, the green globe shone bright green color. After all, she knew they would come.
"We know what you are up to, so dont fool us." Mickey said aloud, and the evil fae looked suprised. Her hand fell on to her chest, and she showed an expression of shock in her green orbs, her jaw dropped a little. Her smile formed into a smirk, as she spoke anew. "I knew you would come after all. What do you think of my kingdom?" Maleficent avoided to speak about her plans, and the Gifted ones. Then her eyes drift over to the keybalde wielders. "This is not your kingdom." Mickey said, however Maleficent fell in silnce, as they could see a hint of sadness in her eyes. Maleficent had made this curse, which she could not end. She could not find her wings, and the girl who she had grown attached to, was gone. However, she replaced the sorrow for revange.
"You took the kids with you." She spoke, and walked down the stairs from the throne chair. "How nice to see them again." She breathed in. "I can sense darkness blossoming, in ones of their hearts." She glanced over at Roxy, who was her new prey. Sora narrowed his eyes at the fae, and took a step forward. "I wont let you ley a hand on my friends hearts ever again!" He spoke aloud, and caught the eyes of the wicked fairy. Maleficent just chuckled at Sora's response. "And you have not changed at all, Sora. Still the stubborn young boy."
"There might be darkness in my heart. In all of our hearts." Roxy spoke aloud, eyes lend on her. "But, I wont use it against my friends. Not the way you have once turned us against each other." Roxy said, she will never forget what Maleficent once had done, but she could forgive so could Sora and Riku.
"My dear girl, do you understand what power you really have?" Maleficent reached out one of her slender, pale hands out for the young girl. "If you want to, I can show you." She spoke, but now both Riku and Sora shielded Roxy. The fae took her hand back, resting it on her globe of her staff.
"It was only a request, my dear boys. It's up to her, I wont force her." This new attitude of Maleficent, was all new for the company. "We know who you are, so stop acting nice, Maleficent!" Sora held his Kingdom Key tight in his hand, Riku agreed and had his Way to the Dawn, in a tight grip. "We wont fall for your tricks this time." The keyblade master spoke.
During the drama, Maleficent turned her attention back to the two new faces, in the company. Mirelle and Anduin. "Royall folk, I see!" She smiled to the two of them. "Now this makes me wonder, why are you here?" Maleficent asked camly, and had no attention in fighting the boys, who slowly turned their keyblades down.
Anduin straightened his back and approached the fallen fae. "You know who we are & you know why we are here." He stated confidently, staring at her - colliding his blue eyes with her green that cut through the darkness. Maleficent gave off a small smirk at his response. "I suspected, but now it's confirmed. You represent a power if which i wouldn't stand a chance at fighting, yes?" She said calmly, her words echoing through the castle halls. "But then, why would you ask for the aid of children? Children that doesn't even belong to your own existence?" She continued.
The commander stopped approaching her, made a serious grimace & kept his stare at Maleficent. "Because we're the only ones who can stand against that which holds you in it's leash." Mirelle marched up next to her Commander, assisting him before he could think of a reply.
Maleficent made an angry grimace. "There is noone holding me in a leash! There shall not ever be!" She almost screamed in a rage. Sora & his friends were taken aback by her reaction. They had never seen her lash out in anger like that before.
"It has you under such control that you don't even realize how it's using you." Mirelle said, as her glowing eyes stared at Maleficent with great intensity. She had raised a hammer from her back, something that seemed to materialize out of her crystalline armor. The entire hammer seemed to be made out of the same crystals adorned on Mirelle's armor.
Maleficent was now fuming, ready to strike out with her dark magic at Mirelle. Her mood had changed completely, as if she hadn't expected to be confronted about such matters.
Anduin stepped up next to Mirelle & laid his calming hand on her shoulder, making her back down & lowering her hammer. He held out another hand towards Maleficent. "There are things in the universe that are a much greater threat than you could ever pose, Maleficent." The commander spoke calmly. Maleficent stared at him, slightly bending her neck in a curious manner. "Darkness, as you would think of it is a great power. But in reality, it's a living force. The void itself seeks to penetrate the walls of reality to destroy everything that we hold dear. There must be something that you still care for, is there not?" He asked, his eyes had become less intense & more understanding as he looked at her.
Maleficent seemed to lose her hot temper & her eyes were looking from place to place in the room, seeming confused. "I.." She started. But then, a swarm of crows filled the room, coming from the shadowy corners around the castle. Everyone covered their eyes as they tried to not lose their focus on Maleficent. Then, after a few seconds, Maleficent was gone with the crows.
"She escaped." Mirelle said with an annoyance hinted in her voice. The commander pressed his hand against her shoulder. "We will find her again." He said reassuringly. He then looked over to the young friends.
Sora looked back, letting his keyblade rest in his hand calmly. So did Riku, and he walked slowly up to Mirelle. "You really riled her up there." He sighed, as he looked at the demon-like woman. She smiled back to him. "But you mentioned something controlling her. Is there someone else that's holding her against her will?" He asked as he arrived just a few feet from Mirelle & Anduin. The commander breathed out slowly. "Oh child. Sweet innocent child." Mirelle kneeled to eye-level with Riku & stretched out her hands to hold his cheeks. "He wishes to help her." She said calmly as she looked into Riku's eyes.
The commander sighed abruptly. "He's not a child. He's a teenager. And yes, we will help her." Mirelle reacted at his response. "The void has not taken a complete hold of her yet. But it seeks it's way even closer to her heart to fill it even more with nothing but contempt for life & all of existence." He continued, as he looked at Mickey, Sora, Roxy & Riku.
Sora smiled, so did Roxy, and they looked at eachother. "I can release her, but only with your help. We must use the power of words - not fists, to reach her. Only then will she understand." Riku put his hands on Mirelle's wrists, slowly pushing her hands off his cheeks. "But you still didn't answer my question. Who is controlling her?" He looked at Anduin.
The commander was silent for a moment. "That i will answer soon enough. For now, only know that there is something much grander in evil than anything you've ever faced before." He answered. Riku turned his head & looked at his friends standing behind him. They were all realizing what they'd been getting into.
"Mickey, you said something about Aurora. A princess of this world." Roxy spoke aloud, after when the company had all realized what's waiting for them.
Mickey tilted his head up, "Yes, she is the light of this world." The king smiled. "Why?" He asked, Roxy put a hand under her chin, and crossed her arms over her chest. "I belive that Aurora is the only one left who Maleficent cares for." Roxy said, she did not know if that was the case, but she had a gut feeling telling her, maybe that's how it's. Her friends eyes went wide, as she had spoken. She chuckled and looked at them.
"Com'n you guys. We all saw her face when Anduin told her - there most be someone she cares for. It was like her heart got ripped out." Roxy said, Mickey nods and agreed. As he remember how the fae reacted to the commanders words, also Anduin nods to this. "Of course she is! Roxy, you're genius!" Mickey chuckled happily.
"We should look for Aurora. She has to be here in the castle." Mickey begun and lead the company into the castle. Maleficent was still nowhere to be seen, but she's watching the company from hiding in her shadows.
"Do you think she is alright, Mickey?" Sora asked the king, who looked back at the boy. "I really hope she is, Sora." The king spoke, he was worried she might not be ok after all the kingdom was all sleeping. The group was lead up stairs, next into a long hall, and last lead into a room. A bedroom, kingly it was with decorations on the walls, and the large bed. However the company froze as they saw a girl, with blonde hair who are placed on the bed.
"Oh, no. Poor little girl.. is she?" Mirelle asked with shock, as she placed her hands over her mouth. The crystal eyes of the demon like-girl, looked over at the king.
"She is sleeping, it's a curse Maleficent have done herself." Mickey said, but he didn't know what they should do know. "A sleeping curse, hmm.." Sora said what he was thinking, and placed a hand under his chin. "Where is the guy, or prince for that matter?" He asked, and turned to look at his friends again. Who all looked a bit confused, but not Roxy. Who understood what Sora spoke about, as the two had seen things that works out this way before.
"True loves kiss." Roxy smiled, and looked over at Sora. Who thought the same. Mickey then understood, "Who could that be then? It wouldn't be too good if the lover boy're also sleeping, under the curse." Roxy shrugged, but then incoming was three fairies. Which grabbed the company's attention.
One red, who're the leader of the three, one green who was suprised to see the company, and last was one blue. Who was grumpy, when her eyes lend on them. But, the three was not alone, a boy who was in Sora, Roxy and Riku's age, ran out from the doorway, he was dragged by his cape, by the three fairies.
"Oh my! Who are you?" The red fairy asked, and looked at the company "I am friend with Aorura, and we come to help." Mickey replied, and the little fae nods. "Oh, well! I know who you're, king Mickey." The red said. "We brought the prince with us, who Aorura is in love with." The green fairy spoke with a sweet smile. The prince, looked confused, and a faint blush come up on his cheeks. "What? She is in love with me?" He asked, but got no reply, as the faires rushed over with the boy to the bed, where sleeping beauty laid.
Roxy walked up to Sora, and stood next to him. "Do they even know each other?" Roxy whispered to him, who looked as contemplative like she did. "I don't think they do." Sora spoke, and the company watched the boy, who looked at the girl.
"She is very cute.." The prince blushed, when he stroked away some of her blonde hair from her closed eyes. "What happend to her?" He asked. "What do you need me to do?" He asked again, now the the keyblade wielders, gived him some information. "She needs a true loves kiss to wake up." Sora smiled, and the prince looked at the spikey haired boy. "Who are you?" He asked, as his eyes lend on the company and rose a brow.
"No time for that! You need to kiss her, now!" The red fairy said. The company all thought that the fairies are now forcing the boy to kiss the girl, who he didn't even know so well. The prince turned his gaze to the company again. "I have met her, back in the woods before. But I can't promise I can save her." He honestly spoke, Mickey nodded to him and then the boy turned his attention back to Aurora. As he took her cold hand in his, and lean down, when he brushed his lips upon hers, and kissed her. The faires, and company all watched, as they hoped Aurora would wake up.
The prince pulled slowly away, and looked at the blonde girl. She didn't wake up, and he didn't feel anything. He sighed and held her hands in his. "I am sorry, Aurora." The prince spoke and kissed her hand. "That was not even a kiss!" The blue fairy spoke, with an grumpy attitude. Then the three faires looked over at Sora and Riku.
"We have many boys here on line, who all are handsome!" The red fairy said while she rubbed her hands together. The three eyed Sora, Riku and Anduin. Who they meant was handome, and on line for what?
"Every boy in this kindgom needs to kiss Aurora!" The three of them spoke together in giggles, but it seemed to be more of an order. Sora swallowed, he could not let his frist kiss be a girl, who is not Kairi.
"No matter how many guys that kiss her, she wont wake up. True loves kiss dont work that way, clearly the curse is about something else." Roxy was the one who spoke out the truth. But, the faires could not take it, they looked at the pink haired girl, with clearly irritated expression on their faces.
"And look at you. You're clearly not a princess! Or never had been in need of help." The faires said sharply, that was ture. Roxy're no princess, and she had never been in need of help like this girl. She had been there for her friends, helping them in need, and fought by their side against the evil. As she thought about this, the darkness that lingers deep in her heart was blossoming, she couldn't feel it. But, it was like what Maleficent had said before, and it made her worried, that it would turn her into something she is not.
"What does that even matter? Do you want our help, or not?" Sora barked, as he narrowed his eyes at the three faires, who snorted, but fell into a long silnce. Sora would not have it, he hated when someone would pick down on his friends.
"I understand you're worried about Aurora. But, we can't wake her up. I am sorry." Roxy didn't have time to show them she're affected by their words. But her friends, Sora and Riku could both sense that she was affected by it.
"You guys decide on what to do next." Roxy smiled to them, and give the company a slight nod, as she left the bedroom. Sora turned his eyes to Riku, telling they should follow her. "Com'n Riku."
The commander looked at Roxy as she walked out of the room with Riku. She was clearly hurt by their remark. "If you're fae's, like Maleficent, you should be able to track her, correct?" Anduin turned to speak to the fae's. The red one made a small grimace. "Track her? Nonono, we wouldn't do that. We do not want to get near her - she's pure evil." She said with a very strict voice. The commander put his arms across his chest. "But do you know if she's left here, in this kingdom? In this world?" He now looked very intensely at the three fae's. "She's not." The blue fae answered. "She has gone somewhere we cannot feel or see." She continued with a straight face. Anduin nodded and his expression showed that he was deep in thought.
Riku had walked up next to Roxy & they kept the same pace as they wandered outside the castle. He stopped her before walking out of the castle doors. "They do not know anything about you, or what you've been through. They know nothing about us." He put his arms around her, pulling her close. She buried her head in his chest, but she didn't cry. She smiled & felt a tingling in her spine.
"A day for love, is it?" A voice whispered behind the pair. Roxy & Riku turned around and saw a peculiar figure standing outside the castle. His robes were entirely black & covered his entire body. A hood hid his face, shrouding it in shadowy darkness. Roxy & Riku reacted & looked at eachother quickly. "The organisation!" Riku shouted & gathered his keyblade into his hands. He was quick to jump down the long stairs & getting ready for a fight. The figure didn't move however, and just stood in Riku's direction, as if it was staring at him through the cloaked darkness beneath it's hood.
"Oh, we're not the organisation." It said with a mere silent wording. "But we must ask of you not to follow Maleficent. It is of great import that you do not." The figure said, not moving at all. Now that Riku realized it, the being was far too tall to be from the organisaion, and the robes was like a veil of darkness surrounding him, there were no zips or metal visible anywhere. It almost seemed like death itself had taken form.
"Get back, Riku!" A commanding voice shouted from the castle doors. It was the commander, Anduin. He held his arm in front of Roxy in order to keep her from running over to Riku. Mirelle appeared from behind Anduin, walking confidently as her hooves smashed against the castle floor. She walked out, and materialized the crystalline hammer from her back again. "Go Mirelle, smite that monster from existence!" The commander said, as he held Roxy back. She struggled to get free, as she also had realized that the being below was not of any world that existed in their realm.
"Oh, now let's not get ahead of ourselves. We are not here to fight you. But to warn you. Do not consider finding the fallen fae again, or die - you will." It ended, hovering above the ground, seemingly having no feet & no visible arms. Just a dark veil that was now hovering in thin air.
"If you survive Mirelle's swing, tell your masters that the light will conquer ALL!" Anduin shouted, as Mirelle readied a full swing with her hammer. The crystal head of the hammer started to glow a blinding light, and Mirelle swinged it with great force - enough to produce winds around the surrounding area. The hammer swiped through the dark veil, giving off an explosion of light that had everyone covering their eyes. Riku jumped away as he was lost in the light around him. There was a loud scream that hissed in everyone's ear, as the dark being faded away.
Mirelle looked furious, as the hammer's light faded. The calm started to settle. Yet, she stood completely still, only breathing slowly. Anduin made a small grimace, looked at Roxy for a moment then let her go. She ran over to Riku, worried that he might be hurt in any way.
The commander walked up behind Mirelle, grabbing her arm from behind. "Mirelle. It's okay, you did it. It's gone." He pulled her as for her to face him. As he looked upon her, tears had started trickling down her chalk-white skin.
Mickey & Sora ran out of the castle & up to Anduin & Mirelle. "What happened? Everything became blindingly light, and then some horrible scream echoed through the castle!" Mickey said, and eyed Anduin & Mirelle. He noticed how Mirelle had tears streaming down her face & looked at her with a solemn face.
"It was a voidwalker. It seems we are in a bigger danger than we thought before." The commander said, turning his eyes to the sky above. "The void is progressing faster than anticipated, they've succeeded in sending their messengers of death to this realm, which means that they've done so to others aswell."
The faes overheard the conversation & had seen the event that had taken place, the dark figure mentioning Maleficent. The red fae looked at her sisters & they all nodded to eachother.
"We know where she has gone. But it is far away from here, further than we can go. On another world." The red fae said, hovering with her sisters outside the castle. The friends looked up at her & Anduin turned to look at them. "Thank you." He said with a low tone.
The group thought of a world called Arendelle, that showed up on the Gummi ship worldmap. The teens got the feeling that Maleficent might be hiding.
Mickey landed the Gummi ship outside the Kingdom, none of them had once seen before. It was the the coronation day of Arendelle, and the kingdom will crown their queen.
People from other kingdoms had been invited for this day, and the group saw the large ships, to royal folk who was gathering on the streets, their way to the castle. The gates are opened, it had been ages since the kindom of Arendelle last let in people.
Princess Anna, was getting ready for the day she had been waiting for so long. Elsa was getting herself ready too, but she was not looking foward for this cermony.
After so long this kingdom had shut the outside world out, from the time when Elsa lost control of her powers, almost killed her sister by playing with it. Their parents separeted the girls from each other, closed the gates and made no contact with the outside world. Yes, this only made it worse for the kingdom and for the sisters. But today, there was hope for Arendelle to re-connect to the out-side world. With the people from other kingdoms, and to build up allies and friendship.
Anna knew it was the day for Arendelle to be back to the kingdom it once was before. And maybe, just maybe. She would meet the one. The young princess was in her teenage dream, as she had her coronation dress and walked outside of the castle.
Mickey, Sora, Riku, Roxy, Mirelle and Anduin, watched as the people made the street nice with light, songs and flowers. The coronation would take place in the church, as the people're lined up.
Mickey smiled to himself when he could not see any sign of darkness here, around the people. He could not sense Maleficent, which was good, but it also worried him. "Do you think she is here?" Sora asked Mickey, who shook his head and smiled to the young boy.
"We need to have our eyes open. But, I dont sense her." The King said. He knew that his friends could rest for a bit. Elsa was ready to be crowned as their queen. People was inside the church, people sang and then it went silnce, while their queen stood on the altar facing her people with the apple made by gold, and the spear in her hands.
The girl was very nervous, as she watched the people infront of her. She felt her heart race faster in her chest, when she noticed her powers was going over control because of her fear. Ice spread from palms, and it's way to the object she held steady. Bitting down her lip, she could not hold it for to long, as she put them away back on the pillow again. To her relive no one noticed it.
After when they were done in the church, Elsa felt no worry anymore. Her powers was sealed again with her gloves and she felt the night would end well now. The queen welcomed the people to Arendelle, and showed the way into the castle.
The group, and all the people were welcome for the ball, which took place inside the ballroom. It didn't take long befire the room was filled with people who're dancing, singing, eating the served food and drinks. Sora, Roxy and Riku looked at each other smiling as they had been lead into the ballroom.
Mickey got an idéa, a idéa so they would fit in for the coronation. With some magic of his, he made so the company's outfit's was matching the people of Arendelle. With gown dresses for the girls, and suits for the boys.
"Oh ho! We need to fit in it's after all a ball!" The king smiled happily, and his friends're all very pleased to get gifts like this from Mickey, and a night to remeber for them all. "You can change back to your normal outfit's, when you would like to." Mickey added. "Now, we will enjoy the night. Shall we not?" Mickey chuckles and the group agreed.
"Dresses are not my cup of tea. But, it's very kind of King Mickey, to give us this moment to remember." Mirelle spoke, who stood together with Roxy. The teen looked up at the demon-like girl. For the people here in Arendelle, Mirelle looked like a human in their eyes, as to not scare them off, by her real appearance. "It's not one of mine either, to be honest I can't even dance." Roxy giggled, and Mirelle looked down at her smiling.
"Is it your first time at a ball, Roxy?" Mirelle asked, and the girl nod her head slightly. Roxy then turned her attention to Mirelle again. "I guess you most have spend some time with Anduin, on ball's and cermony like this before?" Roxy curious asked, Mirelle felt her cheeks grew rosy, it brought back some old memories of hers.
"I have, and would love to spend more times like this with him." Mirelle breathed in, "But.. I am afriad that I can't let my feelings mess things up between us." The demon-like girl said, there was a hint of sadness in her voice. Roxy understood Mirelle was afraid to mess up the friendship she already have with Anduin. But, the girl also saw hope.
"You should give him some hints, that you like him." Roxy said, Mirelle was thinking about it. She give her friend a warm smile. "Don't be afraid, dear. You look gorgeous tonight." Mirelle said to Roxy, who she could tell really wanted to dance to be her first ball. Mirelle's crystal eyes drift over where Riku and Sora stood, who both was together with Mickey, and Anduin. They laughed and chatted, enjoying the ball so far.
Roxy glanzed over at the boys, she had faint blush on her cheeks when her eyes fell on the silver haired boy. Mirelle smiled to her, and rest her hand on the girls back. "I can see you want to dance with him." Mirelle giggled, Roxy tugged some of her pink hair, behind of her ear. "I am just afraid.. I don't want him to feel rushed, you know?" Her eyes glanzed slightly away, as there was a hint of fear in her voice. Mirelle understood how the girl was feeling, as she are also in love. "You can do it, don't let that fear take control." Mirelle said to her, her words made the young girl feel less worried.
"I wish Kairi was here, she would have loved this ball." Sora sighed, but knew Kairi was alright back home. He took a new chocolate, from his plate. Anduin rest a hand on the teens shoulder, smiling to him.
Roxy felt her stomach is rushing with butterflies. She was not used to dance, or by walking in high heels, and she usally avoid to wear dresses. The one she was wearing is red, and captures her figure very well. Her pink hair is loose, and fall past to her bare shoulders, for accessories she only wore a black choker around her neck.
The girl moved out with gentle steps, over to the dance floor. With a beating heart in her chest. Afraid but also excited, at the same time. There're many people who danced, even the princess Anna, who was out on the dance floor and had fun. She was dancing with a handsome man, she had been having her eyes on since this morning. Prince Hans, is his name. The queen Elsa, herself stood on the altar as she watched the people.
Roxy made sure she are not too far away from her friends, and so they, or he could see her. She rest her hands on her hips, her dress followed with her movements, she looked at some other girls and copied some of their moves.
Sora looked over the crew of people, his eyes was fixed on the pink hair, and the red dress. Which was flowing together with the girls movements on the dance floor. Sora had never seen Roxy dance before, she had always said no to it, and would never dance in front of other people. But, there she stood and had talent for it.
Sora nagged with his elbow on to Riku's shoulder, the boy smiled to him as his eyes drift back to Roxy.
Riku couldn't take his eyes off Roxy once he saw her. She was moving rapidly across the floor, almost looking like she was stepdancing next to the other girls at the dancefloor. Riku corrected his suit as he saw how other men started to join in to dance with their respective partners. Roxy was the last one among the flowing dresses, twirling around in her own thoughts - following the rhythm of the ball.
"May i join in on this dance, my lady?" Riku said, bowing down before Roxy as she was twirling around. She suddenly stopped her slow spinning & seemed to misstep in her high heels, faltering a little from side to side as she corrected herself in a daze. She blushed faintly, then stretched out her gloved hand, grasping Riku by his. Riku pulled her closer as he started to take his steps to the left. Roxy followed his motions, slowly & elegantly. Only after a few seconds, the pair had started to dance around, encircling eachother as they locked eyes.
Riku smiled at Roxy, relaxing his arms around her - signaling for her to lead him. She did, and they let one pair of their hands to drift apart, only holding onto eachother with their left sides. They circled around, never losing their focus on eachother. From above, their dance formed a perfect image of a flower - opening & closing as they changed positions to & fro.
Anna stopped her dance with Hans & looked on in wonder at the peculiar pair that were dancing in the middle of the ballroom. Even Hans, the noble prince, seemed to be impressed & raised his eyebrows in reaction. Elsa watched, standing amidst other royalties. She held her hands together as to try to focus on keeping her powers in check. She became entranced by the beautiful dance that was performed in front of her. Other pairs were still dancing, but started to slow down as to look at the young teenagers that were so joyfully moving through the ballroom.
Anna barely noticed her sister approaching, but when she did, she was overjoyed & stepped over with small echoing steps from her heels. Elsa didn't at first notice Anna, keeping her eyes on Roxy & the silver-haired boy. "Isn't it beautiful?" Anna asked excitedly to her sister, whispering only an inch from her face. Elsa reacted, suddenly realizing her sister was almost face-to-face with her. "Y-yes. They are." She said, only looking at Anna for a second, then looking back at the pair. Anna had felt happy & enormously excited for the ball. Even more so when she saw how Elsa's attention & focus was on a couple of people that displayed such love & devotion to eachother. She knew her sister well, even better than she herself realized.
Anduin looked to his left, where Mirelle was standing in a corner, a few feet away from Sora. He noticed that Mirelle was surrounded by children & young teens. Even if she looked like a human to the humans - because of the spell, her skin was still a marble white & her eyes still gave off a faint glow. "Mama?" A boy asked, looking up in awe at the tall, curvaceous woman. "She must be a queen!" An older girl said excitedly, reaching up with her hand as if to touch Mirelle on her cheek. "No, she's a goddess!" A small girl shouted, folding her arms across her chest & looking irritated. The older girl, somewhat resembling the younger one, looked at the little girl. "A goddess? And of what would that be?" She asked, raising one of her eyebrows as she also crossed her arms across her chest. The smaller girl put her hands on her hips, now clearly annoyed at the older one. "Gosh! The goddess of everything ofcourse!" She exclaimed, pouting her lips. Mirelle snorted & couldn't keep herself from laughing. She loved the children, the people & the world that they were visiting.
Anduin wandered slowly up to Mirelle, now completely covered with children that admired her. She used her arms to scoop them into her bossom, hugging all of them tightly as they laughed, hugged & kissed her. He saw how they were starstruck by her presence. As was he, as he had always been. Mirelle noticed the commander approaching, walking with soft steps. He stretched out his large hand & bowed.
"My goddess?" He asked, smirking & winking at the children. They laughed and jumped around excitedly as they let Mirelle stand.
Riku and Roxy who're dancing together in the middle of the ballroom, had brought the attention from the queen, and the princess. Also the people of Arendelle, stood all and watched as the couple had entranced everyone, by their glamourous dance, which was performed.
Sora watched Riku and Roxy, who danced together. He felt himself smile, and glad that the two of his friends showed such passion of love. He had never seen anything like this before, it was magical. The keyblade master looked over at Mickey, who also smiled and enjoyed the night.
"I belive you should dance more often home, at the islands." Mickey smiled, and looked up at Sora. "Yeah, I think so too. And I belive that Kairi would like it." Sora smiled to his friend who nods. "We can invite people, for a beach ball at Destiny Islands, don't you think?" Mickey laughed, and Sora joined him.
"The kids are too kind, and so is Arendelle dont you think?" She asked Anduin who walks up to her, meet his gaze. Mirelle tired not to be so formal, as he had himself told her not to be formal around him. By calling him, sir, or lord. She do not wish to rush into things. She're after all, still a bit afraid to lose his friendship, because of showing too much of her feelings.
The people of Arendelle all cheered, and clapped their hands when Riku and Roxy's dance were ending.
Sora, Mickey, Mirelle and Rorasch all clapped their hands, when the people joined together in with cheers, of the dance. Roxy and Riku looked at each other and smiled. Their cheeks were warm, and their beating hearts rise in their chest.
The two eyed the people, who stood around the two. They had been watching, and are all giving Riku and Roxy proud and long applauds. Roxy and Riku bowed to the people, before they left the ballroom to get some fresh air, from the long dance.
Roxy held Riku by his hand, as she lead the way out to the courtyard, which was just a room awau from the ballroom. There was all kind of colorful flowers, from all sizes. There was fountains with birds, who sang to the moon light and enjoyed the water from the fountains. The moon was on its highest point in the night sky, with the glittering stars.
"The sky is so beautiful." Roxy spoke, with a smile on her lips. She breathed in the fresh air, she is still warm from their dance, and her cheeks are still rosy. "I hope the darkness wont mess things up here in Arendelle." The girl spun around, in the speed she tripped on her feet, with the high heels and fell into the boy. But, Riku caught her in his arms. He smiled to her, as the two took their seats on a bench, their eyes locked.
However the teens were not alone. They where on the lower level of the castle. But a level up, was Anna and Hans. The two walked together to a balcony, above where Roxy and Riku was. The princess and prince stood by the railing, with the veiw over the courtyard and garden. However they didn't notice, or see Roxy and Riku, who was under and in the courtyard. But the teens, could hear the two, as they were talking to each other.
"I loved their dance, so much." Anna giggled and watched the sky above them, turning to Hans, who smiled. "They showed what true love really is about. Even Elsa, was taken by it." Anna said to Hans, who walked closer up to the princess, and stroked away some strands of her red hair away form her blue eye. "They were amazing, I think they did melt your sisters cold heart." Hans chuckled, and Anna agreed.
"Can I ask you something crazy, Anna?" He smiled to her, and taked her hand in his, as he knelt down one knee. "Will you marry me?" He asked her, Anna smiled and nodded her head. She was so happy. "Can I say something crazier?" She breathed. "Yes!" Hans then embraced Anna, before the two left the balcony.
Riku and Roxy had both heard Anna and Hans converstation. As for their proposal to marriage. Roxy felt happy that they had made people belive in love, by watching them dance together. However the teens did not understand what Hans meant, with Elsa's heart. That she had a cold heart, that was melting because of them. But, as Mickey had said before, he could not sense any darkness here, so there would be nothing to worry about.
The couple stared up at the night sky that was covered with thousands upon thousands of stars that seemed to blink faintly. As they observed the universe above, their gaze shifted to eachother & they looked into eachother's eyes in silence.
"No. Whatever you have to say, you can say to the both of us!" Anna was heard from inside the ballroom. Riku & Roxy turned around to listen to the commotion inside. Riku nudged Roxy with his hand, lightly shoving her on her back so that she would follow him. The commander, Anduin and the beautiful Mirelle were standing just inside the balcony entrance. They were watching with their eyes focused on the sisters that were arguing in front of them.
"What's going on?" Riku asked as he walked up nexto to Anduin & looked at him, then turning his eyes to the middle of the ballroom. Sora pushed himself through the crowd that surrounded the sisters. The music had fallen silent & people had stopped talking to eachother. The focus was entirely on the royal pair that were standing in the middle of the room.
"Fine. You can't marry a man you just met." Elsa said, folding her arms across her chest. She was clearly irritated. "You can if it's true love!" Anna responded, her cheeks becoming flustered in anger. Sora was eating on a piece of cake & hadn't finished chewing it. "Um, miss Princess - miss Queen, maybe you shouldn't be arguing in the open with hundreds of people around?" He spoke with a mouthful of cake, making his words sound muffled. Yet, he spoke with determination. Sora wasn't a fan of infighting between friends.
Elsa turned her eyes scornfully to the boy. She didn't reply to him, yet her eyes said enough. Sora backed away, raising his eyebrows, continuing his consuming of cake. She turned her focus to her sister again. "Anna, what do you know about true love?" Anna became visibly more upset, clenching her fists. "More than you. All you know is how to shut people out!" She replied, taunting her sister.
Elsa looked like she was pierced by an arrow. Her eyes became somber, and she took a deep breath. "You asked for my blessing, and my answer is no. Now, excuse me." She finished, turned around & walked to the door leading to the royal quarters.
"Your majesty, if i may ease your-" Hans started as he tried to walk up to Elsa. She motioned with her hand for him to stop. "No, no you may not. I-i think you should leave." She said, passing the royal valet standing in front of the door. "The party is over, close the gates." Elsa said, her back turned to the large crowd of royalties. Anna reacted in shock, darting up to Elsa quickly. "What? No, Elsa, wait!" She said as she reached out to pull Elsa's hand. She grasped Elsa by her glove & pulled it off, and Elsa spinned around in panic of her sister's touch.
"Give me my glove!" She shouts, looking angrily at Anna. Anna holds the glove away from Elsa. Anna looks desperately at Elsa. "Elsa, please! I can't live like this anymore!" She pleads with her older sister. Elsa looks hurt, but doesn't back down. "Then leave!" She says, almost whispering. Anna's eyes fills with ears & starts to back away, crying from her sister's harsh words. She backs away from her sister, looking at Elsa with tears in her eyes. "What did i ever do to you?!" She yells at her sister. The whole room stays quiet. "Enough, Anna." Elsa states with an annoyance taking place in her voice.
"No. Why? Why do you shut me out?! Why do you shut the world out?! What are you so afraid of?!" Anna reprimands her sister, yelling at the top of her lungs. Hans & other people nearby start backing away from Elsa. Anduin notices Elsa's increasing frustration. He sees a dim, frosty mist forming around her like a shield, barely visible. He starts to move towards the sisters, pushing the crowd aside from left to right. "I said..." Elsa starts, as anger grows around her like an aura. Anduin jumps. "Enough!" The queen screams in a furious anger, releasing a wave of icy spikes from her with her hand. It quickly covers the floor towards Anna. The commander succeeds in pushing Anna away, having thrown himself to make sure that Anna wasn't hit by the freezing ice.
Anduin sits atop Anna as she lies on her back at the ballroom floor. They quickly lock eyes, but the commander is quick to get on his feet - helping Anna up from the ground. Anna turns to look at her sister in shock. "Elsa?" She asks calmly, but with a voice on the breaking point. Elsa in turn, stares at her hand - despair taking hold of her face. She turns around & runs out of the ballroom entrance, slamming the doors open in panic.
The ballroom was in silence so was the keyblade wielders. Who had seen when, Elsa and Anna had their arguing that has completely derailed.
"Are you alright?" Sora asked Anna who was taken aback by the blonde man. Anduin helped her up. Anna couldn't deny but think he was handsome. "Thank you. I am sorry you all had to see this." Anna sighed, the princess were deeply troubled. "Hey, it's okay! We are here to help after all." Sora smiled to her. But Anna shook her head.
"I should never have said that to her. This is all my fault." Anna's eyed the ice, which her sister had just created. "Did you know?" Hans asked her, resting a hand on Annas shoulder. Anna shook her head. "No.. No, I didn't." She replied.
Outside the castle, Elsa had burst out of the castle doors. There were loud cheering from her people, as they saw their queen. However, Elsa looked frightened and only wanted to get away from the mass of people. "There she is. Your Majesty! Long live the Queen! Queen Elsa! Come drink with us." The crowd shouted out to her, but Elsa ducked her way through the crowd, hiding her bare hand from the sight of the people.
A woman from the town, who held her baby in her arms, looked at the queen. "Your Majesty? Are you all right?" The kind lady asked. Elsa shooked her head, slowly backed away from the lady. She suddenly stopped and slipped backwards into a fountain. She grabbed with the hand on the edge. As she did the waters freeze at her touch. A loud gasps of shock and fear come from the crowd of people.
The Duke and thugs ran out the castle doors. "There she is! Stop her!" The duke yelled at Elsa.
"Please, just stay away from me! Stay away!" Elsa spoke in panic, her magic again accidentally slips her hand and turns the staircase into ice. The Duke fell on his back pointing his finger at Elsa. "Monster! Monster!"
The crowd panics and a snowstrom begins as Elsa flees from her kingdom. Anna ran out of the palace, behind her is Hans and the group of keyblade wielders. "Elsa!" Anna cried and held Elsa's glove in a tight grip, Hans follows her behind with the group behind.
Elsa ran out of the gates and down to the water's edge. The shoreline freezes under her feet. "Elsa! Please, wait!" Anna calls to her from the gates, Elsa glances back at her sister but she turns away. She tentatively steps out onto the fjord as she put her foot down the ground freezes instantly. The queen breaks into a run, as the water freezes over with each step she took.
"Elsa stop!" Anna cried from the top of her lungs. Anna rushes out onto the fjord ice and she slips to her knees. Hans rushes to Anna's side as he placed his hands on her shoulders. The ice spreads out until the entire fjord is frozen, locking the ships in place.
At night, snow falls down from the night sky. Hans and Anna move through the panicking crowd and walked up to the group Mickey, Sora, Roxy, Riku, Anduin and Mirelle.
The Duke ran up to their side, as he eyed Anna with a cold glare. "You! Is there sorcery in you, too?" He asked her. "Are you a monster, too?" He narroed his eyes. Anna looked at him and rose her brow.
"No. No. I'm completely ordinary." She replied. "She is right, she is... in the best way." He smiled to her. Anna then looked at the Duke. "And, my sister she is not a monster!" Anna said and narrowed her eyes at the Duke's clealry cruel remak.
"We will have an eye on that one." Mirelle said under her breath.
"She nearly killed me!" The Duke's face was furious. "You slipped on ice." Roxy clicked her tongue. The Duke looked at over to where the teens stood. "On her ice!" He yelled at the teens.
"It was an accident. She was scared. She didn't mean it. She didn't mean any of this." Anna spoke aloud, and eyed the group of teens, Hans and then the Duke. "Tonight was my fault. I pushed her. So I'm the one that needs to go after her." The Duke now nods his head, agreed. Hans grabbed her by her arm.
"Anna, no. It's too dangerous." He said to her, worried she might get hurt. But, Anna smiled to him and rest her hand on his. "Elsa's not dangerous. I'll bring her back, and I'll make this right."
"I'm coming with you." Hans said but, Anna looked at him. "No, I need you here to take care of Arendelle." Hans understood and he sees the desperation in her eyes. "On my honor." Anna turns her eyes to the crowd.
"I leave Prince Hans in charge!" She said. "Are you sure you can trust her? I don't want you getting hurt." Hans asked, Anna smiled to him. "She's my sister - she would never hurt me." Anna smiled.
The group looked at Anna, they knew they could help her. "We will help you, princess Anna!" Mickey spoke out, from the crowd of people.
The group pushes with Anna through the snowy weather. They reach a hillside that is completely white, and Anna turns around to take a look at the city behind her. It was completely covered in snow, and the fjord that surrounded the city had frozen solid. Ships that were once floating across the sea were now stranded. Anna & the group of friends could see small dots moving across the ice in the distance. Sailors & passengers had to abandon their ships & walk on foot on the frozen ice until they reached the town. Anna made a sad grimace, but turned around again to continue up the hillside - tracking Elsa's snowprints.
Anduin was walking next to Mirelle, keeping the pace with the group but staying behind them. The snow was covering their clothes, and the magic that had once disguised their outfits was blown away by the winds. Everyone looked like they always had, except that their outfits were now completely different to the illusion that had covered them at the castle. Anna noticed how the garments around Sora slowly faded away like dust in the wind. She slowed down, looking flabbergasted at what she was witnessing. She turned around & saw how the group of friends all had changed their clothing.
"What's going on?" She asked, confused at their new appearances. The group looked at her questioningly, as they hadn't realized yet that the illusion had faded. That's when Anna laid eyes on Mirelle. She was no longer a tall, elegant woman. Before her stood a tall demoness with proud, white horns, eyes that shone a stronger light than before, making her pupils almost invisible to the naked eye, and hooves were now present instead of feet in high heels. At first, Anna screamed shortly, scared of what appeared in front of her - jumping backwards. Then she noticed how Mirelle backed away, making a worried face - holding up her hands as if surrendering.
"What's wrong?" Mirelle asked, the worry in her voice made apparent. The group all looked at her & realized that they had turned back to their real forms. Mickey jumped in front of Mirelle, trying to hide her behind him. However, his size made the maneauver pointless, as Mirelle towered over him. He held his palms pointed toward Anna. "It's okay, Anna, it's okay!" He tried talking to her in a calming manner. Anna had only been shocked for a second, screaming in a knee-jerk reaction. She then looked upon Mirelle, realizing that she was no demoness after all. Anna noticed how Mirelle looked worryingly at her & was quick to make amends.
"I know it is, Mr.Mouse." Anna said, and Mickey was relieved to see that she weren't up in arms at the fact that he was a mouse, and Mirelle looked like a demon. She walked up to them & patted Mickey on his head. She kept her eyes fixed on Mirelle, having a hard time to pull her eyes from her. "You're.." She started, looking at the commander's right hand woman. "Beautiful." She sighed, as she streched her hand out to touch Mirelle on her cheek. Mirelle didn't pull back, but as Anna reassured her that she wasn't scared, Mirelle couldn't help but let a small smile pull at her lips. She let Anna caress her cheek, then carefully placed her own chalk-white hand upon Anna's.
Anduin had been observant of Anna, and he saw how she was a person that was pure of heart. He had suspected she wouldn't truly be afraid of Mirelle & that she would accept her, despite her looks. He smiled at Anna, standing next to Mirelle. Anna saw how he looked at her, and locked eyes with him. She blushed a little, reacting to his warm gaze. She also noticed how his royal garbs had only slightly changed. It was now adorned with golden armor - making him look like a great warrior king.
"With your help, i might be able to make Elsa realize that she's not a monster." Anna said, looking at Mirelle again. Mirelle smiled & nodded at her with gratitude "Come, let's save your sister." The commander said with a reassuring voice, patting Anna on her shoulder as he walked past her to lead their group. Riku & Roxy looked at eachother, and Riku leaned over to whisper to Roxy as Anduin walked past them. "There is some chemistry going on here." He said silently, nudging Roxy in her side with his elbow - tickling her. She giggled in response from his touch, and thought about how Anna seemed to be starstruck by both Anduin & certainly Mirelle.
She walked with Riku closely behind the commander, leading the group & tracking Elsa's footprints up the mountain.
Above the snow-line, a small figure climbs the highest peak. It's Elsa, she stops and looks around herself. Catches her breath and held her arms around her. "A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like. I am the queen." She spoke, as her eyes watched the veiw.
"The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.. I couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I have tried." She starts to walk again. "Dont let them in, dont let them see. Be the good girl you always have to be. Conceal it and dont feel." Elsa said while she takes off her glove and throws it into the air, letting the wind take it.
"I can't hold it back anymore. I dont care what they're going to say. Let this storm rage on." Elsa then creates a snowman, just like the one she made with Anna when they were children. She then let go off her cape as it fly away with the wind.
"The fears that once controlled me, can't get to me anymore. It's time to see what I can do, test the limits and break through. There is no right and no wrong. Ther will be no rules for me. I am free!" Elsa creates ice steps and climbs up on them, her arms out stretched.
"I am the one with the wind and sky! You'll never see me cry, here I stand and here I'll stay!" The girl slams her foot down as she forms a giant snowflake. In a flurry of creative release, she raises the snowflake on ice beams, builds walls, archways, a glistening chandelier, and an intricate ceiling that leaves the sky visible.
Standing firmly in her mighty ice palace, Elsa removes her crown from her head and hair, as she narrowed her eyes when she looks at it and throws it away. "I never going back, the past is in the past!" With one hand, she takes down her blonde hair makes it into a side braid, letting it rest on her shoulder. She also creates a new dress made of ice.
The sun rises. Elsa struts onto out onto a balcony and into the light. She's free. "The perfect girl she is gone." The ice queen turns and slams her ice palace door behind her. She had created her own castle made out of ice, on the highest point on the north mountain.
Anna walks up next to the commander, the others followed the lead.
"So, where are you from? I haven't met either of you here in Arendelle before." Anna asked. The princess was curious to know more about them. She held a tight grip around her cape to keep herself warm. She kept the same pace with Anduin.
Mickey looked over at Anna, "We are far away from here, as you can see we are not from Arendelle or from these kingdoms here." The mouse king said, Anna turned her gaze to the mouse and smiled. "Sounds so thrilling to see other worlds." Anna spoke, her eyes fell up to the commander.
"You most be someone special back at your home. Can you tell me more about yourself?" The princess asked, smiling to him. As she met his warm gaze, her heartbeat rose. Realizing she was asking too much.
"Ha. That was awkward. Not you're awkward, just because I'm awkward. You're gorgeous." Anna blushed as her eyes locked with his. "Wait, did I just say that?" She asked herself. Anna knew she liked Hans, but she couldn't take her eyes of from this man. Anduin gived out such an aurora by protecting and warmth, which is her weakness.
The teens, Sora, Roxy and Riku all three was keeping up together. There was a chemistry going on between Rorasch, Anna and Mirelle.
"She seem to be starstruck by both of them." Roxy whispered to Riku. Holding his arm while walking through the thick snow. The two chuckled but, both of them could sense that something is blossoming between the three.
Sora looked over at his childhood friends, who giggles. "Hey, what's so funny?" He asked with a humorous tone. Roxy and Riku looked at Sora. Then their eyes went over to Anna and Anduin, who was in the front leading the group the way. Sora followed with his eyes, and then he understood. "Ah, now I see." The keyblade master smiled to himself.
As Elsa was inside her castle, proud to finally be alone and exploring with her powers. She didn't take much notice that another woman was with her. Dressed in black, holding her staff the green globe give off a slight green light. Her horns gived a shadow form wall, to wall.
"Who is there? Come out!" Elsa turned around as her eyes lend on the tall figure. Who smirked when the green orbs lend on the young queen.
"Well well.. If this is not the Queen of ice?" Maleficent spoke, stepping out to the light and revealing herself. Elsa backs away, "Who are you? What do you want?" She asked, the evil fae titled her head. "To let you know you're not alone." The fae spoke, Elsa rose her brow as she didn't quite understand.
"I have also been missunderstood. Betrayed by the one I care for. Called to be a monster." Maleficent spoke with a calm voice. "I offer you my help."
The stormy winds around the group started to grow stronger. Mirelle used her body to try to shield Anna from the harsh winds, and Anduin conjured light around his hands to light up the way & to emanate warmth so that they wouldn't all freeze. "We have to find shelter!" Riku shouted to the group. Roxy tried to peek through the wrappings that covered her face, shielding her eyes from the cold. Riku wasn't exactly clothed for winter, as his jacket had no sleeves. Anduin turned around to look at Riku, he was clearly freezing. The commander then raised his right hand, letting the light emanate towards Riku. A shield of light started to form around Riku, creating an aura around his body. The boy could feel the heat returning to his body, as the snow was kept out. He looked over to his friends & noticed the very same shielding form around them too. The only one that wasn't protected was the Commander himself.
"Hohoo, magic!" Mickey shouted, as he felt rejuvenated by the warmth around him.
However, it became clear that Anduin had to focus & struggle to keep the shield active. Mirelle laid her hand upon his back, worried that he might burn out. The commander however, only looked at his guardian & smiled, and he lead the party further. Soon though, they realized that the trail had disappeared. The snowstorm had erased any footprints that was visible before.
"Over there!" Anna pointed & shouted to the party. They saw a large cabin that seemed inhabited, as lamps that were lit could be seen from the distance. The group approached the cabin, and Anna stretched up to the old wooden sign that hanged above the door. "Wandering Oaken's trading post." She said as the snow fell off from the sign. She looked at Anduin who was starting to look tired, wobbling on his legs to stand upright. She made a grimace full of sympathy, and pushed the door open with Mirelle's help.
The group pushed Anduin inside & almost fell ontop of eachother as they tried to keep the blizzard out. "Hohoo!" A careful, surprisingly feminine voice was heard. The group looked to their right, practically lying on eachother. A large, bearded man sat at a desk that was filled with items of trade. All around the cabin there were clothes, tools and other items for sale. "Big summer blow out. Half off swimming suits, clogs, and a sun balm of my own invention, yah?" The man said, fidgeting with his fingers, expecting customers. Anna was the first to get on her feet. "Oh, great. For now, how about boots. Winter boots, suits and dresses?" She said curiously. The man stopped fidgeting with his fingers, looking slightly disappointed. "That would be in our winter department." He replied to her.
The group wanders over to the other side of the cabin, where the winter collection was located. A lonely winter outfit, a pair of boots & one pickaxe was hanging on the wall. The group looked at eachother in disappointment. "It's just your size. Put it on." Mirelle said, stepping up next to Anna. The young princess looked at Mirelle with worried eyes. "Oh, don't fret. It's your quest & your well-being at stake. We'll be fine." She said, but then looked at Anduin. He turned his head to look back at her. "I just need some rest, put those clothes on now, Princess." The commander said, as he sat down on the floor with his back to the wall.
Anna nodded slightly & picked the clothes from the wall & walked over to the counter where the large man sat. "Oh. Um, I was just wondering; has another young woman, the Queen perhaps, I don't know, passed through here?" Anna asked as she laid the clothes on the counter. The large man raised an eyebrow. "Only those crazy enough to be out in this storm are you & your friends, dear?" He asked, then peeking at the peculiar group standing a few feet away.
The front door suddenly blows open Sora, Roxy, Riku, Mickey, Anduin and Mirelle all jumped by the scene. As a man walks in who are covered in ice and snow. "Hoo hoo. Big summer blow out."
Kristoff walks right up to Anna, the group of friends watched the man. "Carrots." Kristoff said in Anna's face, she looks confused. "Huh?" "Behind you." The man sighs, Anna looked behind her the desk where a few carrots laid.
"Oh, right. Excuse me." The princess moves out of Kristoff's way, he grab the bunch of carrots, tosses them on the counter, then moves through the place, gathering other supplies he needs. Oaken looks at Kristoff.
"A real howler in July, yah? Where ever could it be coming from?" He asked, and glanzed out through the window,
"The North Mountain." Kristoff replied, walking back to the counter, Oaken counts on his fingertips.
"That'll be forty." He said, Kristoff's eyes went wide of the prize. "Forty? No, ten." But Oaken shook his head. "Oh dear, that's no good. See these are from our winter stock, where supply and demand have a big problem." "You want to talk about a supply and demand problem? I sell ice for a living." Kristoff motions out the window, where we see the blocks of ice on his sled, covered in snow.
The group all saw the sled, and they might need his help to get to the mountain. "Ooh, that's a rough business to be in right now. I mean, that is really..." He shoots her a look.
Oaken still would have his prize. "Still forty. But I will throw in a visit to Oaken's sauna. Hoo hoo! Hi, family." Kristoff and Anna turn to see a naked family waving throug the window of the steaming sauna. "Hoo hoo!" The family waved.
"Ten's all I got. Help me out." Kristoff said Oaken isolating the carrots. "Ten will get you this and no more." Kristoff seethes. Stalemate.
"Okay, just tell me one thing - what was happening on the North Mountain? Did it seem magical?" Anna asked Kristoff. Who pulls down his scarf and gives Anna a firm answer.
"Yes! Now, back up while I deal with this crook here." Oaken stands up, revealing his seven-foot stature.
"What did you call me?" Oaken stomps out the door, carrying Kristoff with one arm. "Okay. Okay, I'm- Ow! Whoa!" Oaken throws Kristoff, who face-plants in the snow.
"Bye bye!" Oaken slams the door. Kristoff sits up. His reindeer Sven, canters over and snorts, as he nudges him, expectantly. "No Sven, I didn't get your carrots. Sven huffs in his face. Kristoff turns away and sees something. He points to a dilapidated barn. "But I did find us a place to sleep. And it's free."
Anna, Sora, Roxy, Riku, Mickey, Anduin and Mirelle watches when Oaken and all his great height as he squeezes behind the counter and sits down low again. "I'm sorry about this violence. I will add a quart of lutefisk, so we'll have good feelings. Just the outfit and boots, yah?" Anna looks between Kristoff's supplies and then to her friends.
"He had a sled. He can help us to get to the mountain." Sora spoke, and eyed his friends. "He is our only chance to get there, we are after all the only people out in this storm." Roxy added. Anna agreed with the teens, and she bought the supplies, which Kristoff didn't afford to buy.
Anna was soon dressed in the snow gear outfit she got, and walked back to the group. As she did, Mickey claps his hands and with magic, everyone in the group had capes in their hands. They all looked at Mickey, as they give out a loud sigh.
"Why didn't you think of that before?" Roxy asked slightly annoyed so was Riku. Who crossed his arms over his chest. Mickey scratched his head slightly looking away, smiling. "Ah, gosh.. I dont know." The king said.
"These clothes would not have protected us much from the storm, so powerful made by your sister." Anduin looked at Anna, who blushed when she met his gaze. He then turned to face Mickey. "But thank you, Mickey." Mickey give him a smile, then the king turned around.
"We should get going, shall we?" The king said, and went out the door. The group still left in the house.
"Mickey mouse are always known to be very absent minded." Riku spoke and eyes lend on him. "I know that.. Because he never left my side in the past." The teen small smiled to himelf. "Am I not right?" Riku asked as he looked at Roxy and Sora, who both nods and chuckled.
Kristoff was now unfrozen and relaxes on a bed of hay. Playing his lute and Sven with him. The door opens.The group of friends enters. Kristoff sits up with a start, and sees who it is. "It's only you. What dp you want?" He sighed and laid back again.
"We want you to take us up the North Mountain." Anna said, crossing her arms over her chest. Kristoff rolled his eyes. "I don't take people places." He lays back down, closes his eyes. "Let me rephrase that..." Anna said and throw a sack of supplies, which lands in Kristoff's lap. He sits up. Looks in the bag.
"We need to get up to the North Mountain. Please, we need your help." Anna said. Kristoff eyed her. But, he clearly doesn't take orders.
"I know how to stop this winter." She said, Kristoff considers and lies back down. He pulls his hat over his eyes. "We leave at dawn... And you forgot the carrots for Sven." He said, but then the bag of carrots hits Kristoff in the face.
"Oops. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't -" Annna catching herself. "We leave now. Right now." She steps back outside and waits with the others. Kristoff offers Sven a carrot. Sven takes a bite. Then Kristoff takes a bite off the carrot, contemplating.
Anna looked over at Anduin, he was still very weak and cold after using so much of his magic. "Are you're feeling alright? What you did for us, it was very kind." Anna spoke and with her hand she rest carefully no his shoulder.
The commander stood just outside the barn door as his new friends stayed in a tent that King Mickey had conjured. "Using the light to protect my friends & allies is easy, but it takes much focus and a great deal of my power to conjure shields on several individuals." Anduin told Anna, looking very serene as he spoke to her. She looked innocently up at him, as he towered above her. He paused. "You have nothing to worry about, princess of Arendelle." He said & gave away a reassuring smirk that was more akin to a smile. Anna smiled back at him, not noticing how she squeezed his arm as she became completely preoccupied with noting how galant he looked, even more so than Prince Hans. He wasn't only as tall as Prince Hans, but much more muscular, having a body that one would expect of a paladin.
Anduin slowly turned his eyes down to his bicep, as Anna seemed to be disappearing into thought. "Anna?" He asked, raising his left eyebrow in a confused expression. Anna shook her head quickly & refocused her eyes around Anduin. "Oh, uh, uhm!" She started as she fumbled for words. Her sight landed on the commander's arm, noticing how she was squeezing him firmly. She gasped & released her grip quickly, putting her hands behind her back & grinning at him.
"So! Uh, how did you actually do that by the way? As far as i know, only my sister has magical powers!" Anna exclaimed, realizing that he had actually used some form of spell to protect them. Anna had been so far caught up in finding her sister, that she had completely forgotten about the fact that the Commander and his friends were unlike anyone she had ever seen.
Anduin just relaxed and smiled gently at her, then looked up at the stars. "You see, we're visitors." He started, crossing his arms as he leaned on the barn wall. "Oh, from another kingdom? Which one?" Anna asked excitedly. The commander simply smiled again & looked up again. "From another world entirely. The three young friends in the tent over there, Sora, Riku and Roxy - they're from a realm called Destiny Islands." He said as he motioned with his head to the tent where the three friends laid sleeping. Anna looked at the tent, smiling, then turned to Anduin again. "And you?" She asked, her eyes almost fluttering with interest. "I'm.." He started, but then swallowed - interrupting his sentence. His eyes froze, as one could see that he for a split second became upset. "One day, if we manage to free all of existence from the void's threat, i might take you there." He said, smiling to her. Anna smiled, but then turned her head to the side abit. "The...void?" She asked, looking at him curiously.
Mirelle were pulling off her shoulderpads & breastplate, as it had weighed heavily upon her during the blizzard. As she pulled it off, she looked outside of her tent to see Anduin conversating with Anna. Mirelle smiled, glad to see that the princess cared for the Commander. The young princess seemed to stand awfully close to him, even if the two didn't make any physical contact. That's what Mirelle thought first, but then she saw how Anna had her hand gripped around Anduin's upper arm. It flushed over her, a strange feeling of discomfort. Her chest seemed to ache for a bit, and she had to sit down. She peeked out of the tent once more, but then, Anna wasn't squeezing Rosasch's arm anymore.
Mirelle stared into the ground with her bright, shining eyes. She didn't fully understand it yet, But something had taken it's place inside her heart, inside her soul. And it wasn't pleasant.
