꒰ 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄 ꒱ . . . Okay, I lied. Here's another chapter. Please do vote and comment your thoughts about the plot so far! And heads up, important bits from Frozen 2 will be here but with a slight twist.

Elise and the others went to find Rosabella, who was with Daring and was a wild beast for some reason. They were told that it might be because of the curse that the Snow Queen had made, or rather the one controlling her.

"Well anyways, we need your help, Rosabella. We're trying to find the elemental roses and one of the rose can be found at your castle. Do you have any idea about it?" Blondie showed a picture of the roses they were trying to find. Rosabella thought for a moment before realizing something.

"Well, there's the rose that was given by my father to my mother. I'm not exactly sure if it's one of the roses you're looking for." Rosabella explained what she remembered. Elise brightened up at what she said, "One of the clues said, its beauty secluded, gifted by its beloved. That must be the Rose of Air!"

"Now that we know where to find the first one, let's begin our flower hunting!" 

-

"So, Rosabella. Are your folks okay with uninvited house guests?" Briar asked the female as they all went outside to start their journey. "Sure! That's pretty much how they met. I'd love to show you my home. Especially if a rose from there can help cure curses. There's a huge rose garden. In fact, I know where to start."

"By huge, do you mean it would take us a long time to find the rose?" Elise asked Rosabella as she wasn't really willing to spend hours on finding the rose hiding within its kind. "Not really. The special rose has its own place." Elise thanked the heavens for the girl's assurance.

"Wait up, girls! I'm in." Faybelle appeared to where they are, dropping her small luggage to Daring's who was sitting at the front of the sled. "And here's another episode of Faybelle inviting herself. What do you want now?" Annie crossed her arms as she looked at the Dark Fairy's daughter.

"Oh, come on. With this whole snow curse, this crew needs a fairy. Don't you want to travel in style?" Faybelle pulled her hand up towards the sled and change its appearance into something larger and 'in style'.

"Hmm."

"Not bad."

"That's more like it."

"And how are we so sure that you don't have any plans on ruining our mission?" Andy pointed out since he was already aware of the girl's shenanigans. "Oh, please. I'm just here to assist you royals and rebels. Which, by the way, you wouldn't survive wearing those clothes in this weather. How about something a little bit warmer." Faybelle used her powers to change their outfits.

"We don't have much time, let's get on in the sled." The others joined Elise inside the sled, all taking a seat, Dexter and Annie sitting on each side of her. "When I called the front this is not what I had in mind." Daring was stuck as the driver of the sled, the others sitting comfortably behind him. "It's your fault that you're impatient to get the front seat." Dexter rolled his eyes at his brother's dramatic ass. Daring rolled his eyes back at his brother before beginning to walk, pulling the sled altogether.

All of them had arrived at Rosabella's palace, which was the easiest to get to. They went inside to which the place was under a whole pile of snow. Elise grew worried that they might not find the rose in time, "Don't worry, Elise. The rose is not dead, it can't be. Besides, this is the most special rose here."

Rosabella guided them to a path that leads to a wide garden with a small patio at the middle. "The rose my father, the Beast, gave to my mother, the day she transformed him back to a prince. This is the rose I was named after." The Rose of Air, which they assumed it was, was frozen and not in bloom. 

"It's not in season..."

"So we have to wait for until spring?"

"No, I don't think we have to wait." Elise used her powers to removed the rose from its frozen state, helping it bloom as its white color glows. "The Rose of Air... we finally got 1 out of 5 of the roses." Rosabella carefully plucked the rose from its place, promising to protect it.

However, before they can even began to take a step, a huge gust of wind began going towards them, forming a small tornado. All of them got pulled inside before it released them excluding Elise. The girl panic as she tried to stop the wind.

"Elise! Get out of there!" The others tried to go towards it but failed due to how intense its wind was. Elise used her power once again as the kept the tornado from closing in on her. She then saw images of people appearing.

"Elise... Your name will be Elise. My daughter..."

"What's wrong with a bit of fun? Don't you think so, Elise?"

"J̸̰̞̬̍̀̽͗͌͒́̓͐̄̀͝ͅä̵̢̧̤̙͔̻̳̭̳̤̗̐̕c̴̨̨̪̞͍͇͉͇̠̙̮̰̀͛̑́́̈̽͆͘̕͠͠k̵͎͎͛̆̿̇͒̀̓̽̀̀̐͘͝,̸̡͚͙͚͓̥̫͚͕͔̙͕̑̂́̅̄̈́̏̈́͝ͅ be careful or she'll fall!", "She's fine, love!"

"I must go, for the safety of you both."

"In the future, I'll find you both once again."

The images disappeared which got Elise to concentrate even more before finally releasing her power to its extend, ending the tornado. The others immediately ran towards her, engulfing her in a comforting group hug.

"Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?" Dexter expressed his concern as he checked his girlfriend's face, which was gloomy and tired. 

"Woah, what is all these?" Briar extended her pointer finger to show the ice statues that were made. Elise recognized it as the ones she saw during the whole fiasco. "Elise... that's Aunt Elsa." Andy pointed towards one statue that had Elsa and another person beside her.

"But, who's the other one?"

"They were shown to me while I was inside the tornado, they're memories I think. Mom said his name during one but it was unclear for me to identify the name. Just what is all of these...?" Elise caressed her thumb on the statue of the other person.

"Maybe it's your memories? Or your mother's memories? Maybe... that's your father?" 

"I hope so... he must be guiding me to where he is now. C-Come on, we have to get to the other roses." Elise looked back once again to the statues that were left before walking back with the others to the entrance.

They got back to the sled later on, checking Blondie's MirrorPad to see the location of the next one. "The next one is at Cinderella's castle, Ashlynn's place!" 

"Yay, my place! You guys will love it." Ashlynn cheered excitedly.

"Well, Daring. Cinderella's castle please!" Dexter called to his brother who got back to his position. "Daring Charming's destiny turns out to be a lonely sled dog? Ugh!" Despite the prince's protest, he still pulled the sled towards their next destination.

-

"What is this place?"

As they are moving towards Cinderella's castle, they've encountered a forest that was enchanted almost. The trees were glowing of red and orange color, depicting an autumnal look. 

"It's the Enchanted Fire Grove. My mother discovered this placed after I was born. She said that they appeared out of nowhere, even stated that there's a fire spirit that lives here which explains why it's so fiery and glowy." Ashlynn explained the place.

"Fire spirit?" Elise questioned.

"Yes, but I'm not so sure if it's real or not since this place has been peaceful ever since. Mom said that the trees will burn if someone ever angers the fire spirit." Elise got into a deep thought as she pondered more about the fire spirit.

'If there's a fire spirit, could it be that the one earlier is the wind spirit? We are looking for elemental roses after all. How interesting...'
