ELISE SNOW, ever after high.

XXXI | DEEP SLUMBER

꒰ 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄 ꒱ . . . I've already wrote the plots per chapter and it might end with chapter 37 plus an epilogue. I'm might be able to finish this story by the end of November (hopefully.)

+ This chapter mostly includes dialogues in the first half since Elise and someone are just talking back and forth.

Elise and the others fell into a deep sleep, all living inside their dreams. Elise was inside a room that was made of ice and it was just empty. She decided to walked around a bit in hopes of finding something to get out of the dream-state she was in.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Elise."

She turned around to look at where the voice came from and came face to face with a woman. However, it was not just any woman. The delicate features, the soft smile, and the sparkling blue eyes. She's the one who she had only seen in portraits. Her grandmother, Queen Iduna.

"Grandmother?"

"Yes, it's me."

"But, what are you doing here? And how are you here?" Elise stepped closer to her grandmother who put both of her hands on the girl's shoulders.

"I've come to help you get out of here. But before you can, there's something that bothers you that restricts you from getting out."

"Something that bothers me?"

"Yes, what is it that confuses you, dear?" Queen Iduna placed her hand on her granddaughter's cheek, softly caressing it as to comfort her. 

"Everything. From my mom being controlled by something, the elemental spirits who we've somehow awakened, and the voice that's been talking to me in my head before suddenly came back. I don't know how to comprehend all of it once." Elise sighed out of frustration.

"Well, it's a calling for you. You're closer to your destiny than what you've expect."

"Closer to my destiny? How does it relate to mom's story? Or dad's?"

"It does not relate to any of your parents. You have your own destiny, one that's been given to you before you entered the world."

Elise grew shocked at what she heard, "My own destiny? Is it because I didn't sign the Storybook of Legends?"

"No, dear. Even if you signed that book, it will make no difference to the one that you're actually given."

"I don't get it."

"All of these will make sense once you've finished the job you and your friends are doing right now. Every piece of something will all come together in the end."

"Will it set the truth about everything free? Including my father?" Iduna nodded at her which made Elise smiled for a bit. 

"The Glacier Rose. Do you know where it is?"

"I don't know where it is exactly, but I can tell you how to get to it."

"Tell me, please."

"You need to go to the Enchanted Forest that is close to Arendelle."

"The Enchanted Forest? But isn't it closed by a huge fog? How will we get it?"

"The forest knows who it should let in and should not. You just need to go straight then the rest... you will see it for yourself."

"What if it we won't be able to find it?"

"You will find it. Trust me, the rose itself already knows that you're looking for it. Therefore, it will show itself to you when it's ready."

"Alright, I trust you..." Elise nibbled at her lower lip as she thinks more of where the rose could be hiding. Surely it's just at the forest like what her grandmother said, right?

"The spirits that you've met in your journey will be at your assistance when you are in need of help. Your powers are what can call them." Elise quickly created a mental note to herself to remember that. 

"The voice that has been talking to me in my mind. Was it you?"

"That wasn't me, sweetheart. However, he's someone you can trust, don't worry."

Elise sighed in relief since she thought that it might be something evil that got into her mind. She suddenly gasped when her body started disappearing.

"Wait, what's happening to me?!"

"You're about to wake up now since your worries have been solved."

"Will I ever see you again?"

"I am always here with you, Elise." Queen Iduna placed a hand on her chest, stating that she was always inside Elise's heart. With one last look at her grandmother, Elise had now completely disappeared from her dream.

Slowly fluttering her eyes open, Elise tried to stand up without feeling woozy. Upon seeing the state of the others, they immediately attached the broken spindle back to its place. The gold sand-like stuff finally stop flowing. She quickly woke the others up as they needed to get out quickly. One by one, their eyes opened and have finally awakened. 

"I just had the the most realistic dream ever after." 

"Let's talk about our dreams later on, we need to get out now." Elise thought for a moment to how they will get out of the situation. She looked out of the window and saw an open space that was a distance away from the earth giants.

Using her powers, she created a slide for them to slid into. They each tried to concealed their screams as to not draw attention to themselves then running towards the sled before driving off.

"Great, we only need one rose left."

"But we didn't see where the last rose is hiding." Blondie stated since she didn't managed to get a photo of it earlier in the library before it started to disappear.

"Don't worry, I know where it is. We need to get to Arendelle first though."

"Arendelle? That's your kingdom! Oh my fairest, I've been dreaming of going there ever since." Rosabella quietly squealed under her breath as she thought of the kingdom.

"You guys will love it there!"

"Yes, and then we need to go to the Enchanted Forest. I'm not so sure if we'll be able to get in, but we will get that Glacier Rose no matter what." The group cheered to what Elise had said, already determined to finish their mission once and for all.

'I just hope nothing will go wrong for this last one.'

꒰ 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄 ꒱ . . . Totally did not take inspiration from Harry Potter at that one scene with Elise and Iduna, lmao.
