TITANS 2150 - The New Era (Disney Monster Universe Phase 2)

Chapter 11 - More than a God

Elsa opened her eyes with great difficulty, to find herself in a familiar place ... she couldn't believe it as she straightened up, finding herself in the middle of the large living room of Arendelle Castle ... however, the place was plunged into a gloomy night and above all, had been completely ravaged ... all the furniture was overturned or in pieces, the armchairs and sofas torn, the paintings thrown to the ground ... as if a horde of mad savages were passing and had destroyed everything in a fit of rage ...

As she rose to her feet, Elsa contemplated this disaster, not understanding how and why she had come here ...

Suddenly, female screams erupted outside the castle ... Surprised, Elsa rushed to one of the windows to look, and what she saw made her gasp in horror, covering her mouth with her hands...

Outside in the castle courtyard gathered a horde of commoners, all brandishing agricultural implements like weapons and flaming torches, all chanting and screaming in an infernal hubbub. In the midst of them, held firmly by two of the anarchists, was a young woman in a noble and damaged dress, whom Elsa recognized immediately ... it was Iduna, the daughter of Anna and Kristoff, adult, when she was queen ... Iduna struggled, dragged forcibly into the middle of the court among the anarchists, while others prepared an improvised gallows.

One of the anarchists, surely the leader, loudly shouted a message to his army.

_ "Too long, Arendelle had to undergo the reign of impious rulers, worshiping monstrous false gods ... but it is over! The reign of the titans is coming to an end, as well as the era of the corrupt monarchy!"

_ "No, please, stop!" Iduna begged, trying to defend herself, to no avail.

_ "IDUNA!!" Elsa started yelling as she tried to smash the window, but the window resisted. Elsa then ran to the living room door to exit, but the latter remained closed, despite Elsa's strong insistence. She wanted to use her powers to freeze and explode the door, but surprisingly nothing happened. Elsa looked at her hands, lost, and then saw, with horror and tears in her eyes, Iduna being hanged and publicly executed by the anarchists, thus overthrowing the monarchy of the kingdom of Arendelle ...

_ "Sad and unfair, isn't it?" then spoke softly a dark and familiar voice. "But there is nothing you can do. You cannot erase the ink once it is dry."

Elsa turned, feeling a familiar uneasy sensation around her. In one of the tattered armchairs in the living room sat this entity, the Outsider, still elegantly dressed, legs crossed and giving Elsa a dark smile when she met his gaze.

_ "You ..." she said, taking a step back.

_"Me." the Outsider replied simply, smiling and getting up from the chair.

While keeping a good distance from him, Elsa watched as he walked casually through the middle of the devastated living room, his hands behind his back and looking vaguely around him as if he were visiting a museum.

_ "Why ... why show me this?" Elsa asked, both angry and saddened.

_ "To show you this truth that you refuse to see ..." confessed the Outsider, whose ghostly voice redoubled in intensity, as did the overwhelming aura he gave off from his mere presence. "Just like the world, the human mentality to evolve over time ... and this new mentality has decree purely and simply, that magic and supernatural beings no longer had their place in this changing world ... and this new humanity categorically refused to recognize that they were only a dominated species ... history may change and be rewrite at the will of the powerful men, but they often forget that the true past never dies and that it always ends up resurfacing ..."

_ "But ... it's absurd! And what did Iduna have to do with it?" Elsa asked, confused and in tears.

The Outsider then allowed himself to emit a cynical sneer before speaking again.
