Heavy is the Head

Epilogue

Elsa finally closed the huge, battered book and handed it to Marshmallow so that he could take it through to the back of the ice castle where the others were kept, filled with her tiny handwriting. Like clockwork, a pristine book with crisp blank pages formed on her desk and beside it, a dainty silver pen hovered in the air, ready for her to create a whole new universe with. 

On the front cover of all the new book, Elsa's pen name - Minerva Winter - was already inscribed in golden lettering right underneath the title, The Chronicles of Fire, Version 3. After all, everything had begun with fire. It seemed fitting that it should stay with her throughout her journey. 

Elsa  leaned back so that she could rest her head against the cushioned back of her chair and slipped the crown of ice off her head. It was heavier than ever these days, but that was to be expected. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

She had decided to compile a list of dedications at the beginning of the last book. She traced over them in her mind with her index finger now, a soft smile dancing on her lips.

It will all be okay, I promise.

Your life is a solo, not a duet. Own it and love will come in time.

For Ariel,

Live your life unapologetically. Make mistakes, learn from that. It's all a part of growing up.

You don't always have to be the one on the outside looking in. Get involved and make memories of your own too.

And finally,

For The Snow Queen.

It's time to go into the unknown.

Thank you so much for reading. I definitely want to go over and edit at some point but for now, this is it :)

This may be the end of this story, but it's also the beginning of many others I plan to get around to writing at some point that follow the theme of magical characters in a modern world environment but they'll probably be wayyyy shorter because wow 100k+ words was NOT my intention when I first went into this. Regardless, this has been such a great experience and I absolutely loved it.
