Frosted

Chapter One

Queen Elsa

I talked to the captain, "Is everything alright? Is there a storm coming up?"

The captain shook his head. "No, there are no storms, my Queen, and everything is alright."

I smiled and thanked him for everything. Here I was, embarking on a really long journey to a far-away kingdom where there were rumors that I had a cousin there.

Everything was fine back in Arendelle as I had left Anna and Kristoff in charge of my people. The two, of course, were to be married in three months' time. I'm not sure I can attend the wedding, though, what with what I'm about to do.

I get really seasick sometimes and right now was one of those times. I stumbled into sick bay and got really sick so I released all I had to vomit in the toilet.

Finally, after what felt like a hundred years, we arrived at my cousin's kingdom. I turned to the captain.

"Thank you so much, Captain, for your service. Now, please remember, don't tell anybody where I am. Okay?"

The captain nodded. "Yes, my Queen. Farewell." He - and his crew - saluted me. The captain and his crew returned to the ship. I watched the ship until it became only a tiny speck in the distance.

I sighed and turned around. This was going to be an adventure.

My cousin's kingdom was really truly beautiful. In the town square, many folksmen were playing nice music and children were playing. Everyone was so happy and looked pleasant.

I approached a lady carrying a basket full of apples. "Hello, can I ask the directions for the castle?"

The lady smiled at me. "Just over there, hon. Follow those guards over there."

I smiled and thanked her. I glanced at the direction where she pointed and saw a line of guards holding frying pans - it was a really weird yet funny sight - marching straight for the castle. I looked around to see if anybody would recognize me as the Queen of Arendelle but thankfully, due to distance of Arendelle from this kingdom and whatnot, nobody did.

I followed the guards and walked straight into the castle. I have to admit, my cousin's palace is much better looking than mine. It was really big and had beautiful fountains all over the place. A line of pretty lanterns were waiting to be released later at night and a white handsome horse was eating apples in a corner while children brushed his mane.

I smiled at everything I saw. Until I was stopped by one of the guards at the gate to the palace. He held his frying pan in front of me and looked at me.

"Do you have any appointments with the Queen or King?" he asked me.

I glanced at his frying pan. "Uh, yes I do." I smiled nervously - I controlled my powers and prayed that I would not suddenly burst into snow - at the guard while he looked at me suspiciously for a few more seconds until his poker face changed into a really huge smile.

"Come on in, then!" he said with the air of being jolly. I smiled at him and followed him straight through the gates of the palace, leading me straight to the throne room. He then turned and left.

Palace maids were running all over the place, carrying plates of food. One was carrying a huge ice sculpture. I approached a maid commanding orders to the others.

"Hi, uh, I was wondering where I could speak to the Queen?" I asked her.

The maid glared at me, obviously not knowing who I was. "And who are you?" she asked sharply as she checked off one box in the notepad she was carrying without looking.
