Pretty Cure's Enchanted Forest Adventure

Chapter 5

Meanwhile, Elsa and the rest of the group were traveling through a barren and nearly empty forest. Elsa began to sing out like the siren's singing she heard to get some sort of answer. The fire lizard wandered all around as they walked together before flinching as Olaf tried to sing like Elsa. "Can you please stop that?" Haruka said to the snowman. "But I'm helping." Olaf smiled innocently. "Please don't." Haruka groaned as Elsa continued to sing. "Haruka has a point," Anna agreed. "Maybe one of you should do that." "I agree; she's a little pitchy," Olaf replied before he was lightly tossed by the wind spirit. "Hey, Gale's back." The wind spirit traveled to the top of a hill and bristled against the top of what looked like the mast of a boat. Squinting, Elsa ran closer, only to get a better look over the hill and saw an entire shipwreck at the base of the hill. Anna joined her with the others, only to gasp in surprise. "What's that?" Towa asked. "Mother and Father's ship..." Anna replied. "But this isn't the Southern Sea..." Olaf noted. "No... It isn't." replied Anna, as Elsa ran down the hill. "I have a weird feeling." Kirara said.

Elsa and Anna ran inside of the ship to take a closer look with the others trailing right behind them. "Why is their ship here?" Anna wondered. "How is it here?" Elsa added. "Maybe it was washed in from The Dark Sea." Minami said to the sisters. "What is the Dark Sea?" asked Towa. "What were they doing in the Dark Sea?" muttered Elsa as she searched through the wreckage. "I don't know." Anna replied. "How did the ship get through the mist?" asked Olaf. "I thought only we could..." "Maybe their mother came from Yelena's people?" suggested Kirara. "It's the only suggestion that makes sense." "Yeah..." Haruka said. "Not to mention we never found out where Elsa's powers came from the last time." "There's gotta be something here." Anna said. "Well, we might as well look around," Minami suggested. "We can't give up just yet." "Every Arendellian ship has a compartment that's waterproof." Anna told the group. "That's very clever," Olaf commented. "Although that makes me wonder why they don't just make the whole ship waterproof."

"Here!" Anna called out as she found something and took out a scroll before opening it to see some sort of funny looking text. "What language is this?" "I don't know, but look, this is mother's handwriting." Elsa pointed out as she saw a note written in the corner next to the language. "What does it say?" Minami asked. "'The end of the Ice Age, the river found, but lost magic's source'," Anna read aloud before giving the scroll to Elsa as she found another paper. "It's a map!" she said as she had an idea. "They traveled North, planning to cross The Dark Sea to... Ahtohallen?" "It's real?" Elsa asked once she heard that name. "I'm confused~pafu" said Pafu. "Yeah, what's this Athohallen thing~roma?" Aroma asked. "It's a magical river said to hold all the answers about the past." Anna explained. "That's just reinforcing my water has a memory theory." Olaf remarked. "Water has memory..." Elsa repeated before she looked at her hands and knelt on the floor and began to channel her ice powers, but did something different. "Elsa?" The others asked in concern. "I wanna know what happened to them." Elsa said as she squeezed her eyes shut. Water droplets filled the air from Elsa's special ice powers. "Looks like we're about to find out!" Haruka exclaimed as the water began to fill the air around them. The water droplets seemed to show the form of a couple in an embrace with each other once Elsa looked up and opened her eyes as she worked her magic. There was also a water wave shown as the late King and Queen's voices were heard in a panic which seemed to be from moments before their premature deaths. Elsa looked emotionally distraught and ran off suddenly. "Oh! Elsa!" Anna cried to her sister. Olaf looked a little sad before looking at the ice couple with the water wave about to hit them.

Elsa looked very overwhelmed and ran out of the ship, panting heavily. "Hey... Hey, what're you doing?" Anna asked her sister in concern. "This is my fault," Elsa sobbed emotionally. "They were looking for answers about me." "You are not responsible for their choices, Elsa." Anna coaxed. "No! Just their deaths." Elsa replied out of guilt as she walked away. The girls and fairies went out to see Anna and Elsa. "Yelena asks why would the spirit reward Arendelle with the magical queen?" Anna said as she tried to soothe her sad sister. "Because our mother saved our father. She saved her enemy. Her good deeds were rewarded with you. You are a gift." "Even if it doesn't seem like it." added Kirara. "For what?" Elsa pouted. "If anyone can resolve the past, if anyone can save Arendelle and free this forest; it's you," Anna told her sister as she took her hands. "I believe in you, Elsa; more than anyone or anything." Elsa looked at her and soon walked away briefly as she remembered something. "Honeymaren said there was a fifth spirit; a bridge between magical nature and us." "A fifth spirit?" Anna asked. "That what's been calling me from Ahtohallan," Elsa explained. "The answers about the past are all there." "So we go to Ahtohallan." Anna smiled hopefully. "Not we," Elsa shook her head. "Me." "What?" The others asked. "The Dark Sea is too dangerous for us all." Elsa told them. "No, we do this together," Anna told her sister. "Remember the song, go too far and you'll be drowned. Who will stop you from going too far?" "You said you believed in me," Elsa defended. "This is what I was born to do." "And I don't want to stop you from that," Anna replied. "I don't want to stop you from being whatever you need to be. I just don't want you dying, trying to be everything for everyone else too." Olaf looked scared at the idea of Elsa dying. "Don't do this alone," Anna continued. "Let us help you, please. I can't lose you, Elsa. We all need you." she then added about herself and the rest of the group. Elsa frowned before hugging Anna tightly. "I can't lose you either, Anna," she said before gesturing for Olaf to join on the group hug. "Come on." Olaf then joined in the group hug with the sisters. The girls and fairies joined in as well.

Then suddenly, after everybody group hugged, the group was sent backwards on a boat made out of ice. "Wait, what?" Towa blinked. "Elsa, what are you doing?!" The path soon became icy as the boat slid away with all of them on it as Elsa backed away to be alone. "Lemme guess; she's sending us away because she doesn't want us to be involved in this," Kirara replied. "Somehow I saw this coming." "Should've expected this~roma." Aroma nodded. "Maybe she'll turn around~pafu." Pafu replied. "I wouldn't get too eager about that." Haruka advised. "We gotta stop this thing!" Towa panicked. "We're going way too fast! Someone give us a hand!" Olaf held out his hand for them to take as the ice boat was going so fast that it seemed like they could crash at any moment. "Everyone hang on to something!" Minami called. The others grabbed onto each other as Anna took Olaf's hand and used it to grab onto an upcoming tree branch. Suddenly, they went away from the ice path and ended up going a different way after the tree branch moved them to the nearby river. "Oh, no!" Haruka gasped. "Aw, come on!" Anna complained once they went through the river in their ice boat. "Anna, this might sound crazy, but I'm sensing some rising anger." Olaf spoke up. "Ugh! Well, I am angry, Olaf!" Anna told the snowman firmly. "She promised me we'd do this together!" "Uh-huh, but what I mean is, I'm sensing some rising anger in me." Olaf replied. Anna was surprised by this. "Wait... You're angry?" she asked. The snowman tapped his head. "...Yeah, I think so; Elsa pushed me away too, and...and she didn't even say goodbye!" he replied. Anna gave him a firm look. "And you have every right to be very, very mad at her." she told him. Olaf looked down, feeling sadder. "And you said some things never change, but since then, everything's done nothing but change..." "Oh, Olaf." Towa frowned softly at the snowman. "Things might look bad, but look," Haruka said as she took out the stick arm. "We're all still here, holding your hand." "Yeah, yeah, that's a good point, Haruka," Olaf smiled, feeling a little bit better. "I feel so much better. You guys are such good listeners."

Suddenly, the girls and fairies noticed a horde of sleeping giants up ahead, so they quieted down. Anna tried to get Olaf to shush as they passed by. "Giants! They're huge!" Olaf whispered in amazement. Suddenly, it appeared they were about to flow into a giant's nose which made Anna panic as she tried to splash them away from the giant's nose. Olaf made her stop as the giant snored and they were blown away in the water, away from his nose. They soon passed more sleeping giants which panicked the group even more until there was another way to get out through that seemed to be some sort of tunnel opening. "Hang on, guys." Anna said before using Olaf's arm to row them into the tunnel. They made it quickly through there and into the tunnel, away from the Earth giants. "Is it over?" Haruka asked. "Uh... Try not to scream." Kirara replied as she saw something coming up. "...I'm guessing there's something really bad coming, isn't there?" Minami asked. Kirara nodded. "Don't tell me, we're about to go over a huge waterfall." Towa said stoically. "Yep." Kirara said. "Sharp rocks at the bottom?" Haruka asked. "Most likely." Kirara said. And so, they were going down the waterfall as the group did their best not to scream, though Olaf let out a tiny scream as they went down and soon... SPLASH!

Everybody groaned as they got to dry land after the waterfall crashing. "Has anyone seen my nose?" Olaf asked. "Well, Elsa just gave us the cold shoulder," Kirara remarked. "What do we do now?" "First, we need to give Olaf his nose back," Haruka replied. "Has anyone seen it?" "Found it." Anna said as she picked the carrot up after she lit a torch, giving it back to the snowman. "Thank you!" Olaf said as some water fell from his mouth. "I guess we explore... Wherever we are now." Minami suggested. "Yeah, where are we?" Olaf wondered. "In a pit with no way out." Anna said. "Unless we try to find a way out." said Towa. So, they explored the pitch darkness as Anna lit the way with her torch. Anna began to look nervous about going any further. "Come on!" Olaf smiled as he took her hand. "It'll be fun. Assuming we don't get stuck here forever and no one ever finds us, you all starve, and I gave up." "That's not very comforting." Minami told him. "But bright side is, Elsa's gotta be doing a whole lot better than we are." Olaf added. "Somehow, I feel like that's not the case." Haruka replied. The group continued to go off together as they did whatever they could.
