Frozen: Brooklyn's Snowflake

Chapter 27 - Returning Home

Back in New York it had only been a couple months since Brooklyn disappeared but five or so years for Brooklyn in Arendelle. Goliath and the others had been worried sick for him being gone for so long, having asked Xanatos more questions about that snowflake he had in his collection.

Xanatos at first was nervous about telling them where he'd gotten it, but since it was a little too late now with Brooklyn being gone for this long and Goliath losing his patience with him, Xanatos eventually came clean.

"Well, if you want to know; Demona had given me the snowflake crystal when we first met after she stole it from the Archmage with the Phoenix Gate." David explained to Goliath.

Goliath couldn't believe those words but then felt some truth in them. "Why did the Archmage have something that powerful when he had the Phoenix Gate and the Grimorum already?" He asked Xanatos who looked rather guilty of not telling them where it came from.

"The Archmage knew that this snowflake could lead him to a place where magic reigned, and if he merged himself with it, it would allow him to travel to and from there as he pleased. But when Demona stole that and the Phoenix Gate, it was the last straw for him to have a gargoyle apprentice. After I met her, she had given it to me for safekeeping until Brooklyn had uncovered it."

Lexington however still wanted his bro back. "But, how are we supposed to get him home? He was gone for months!" They had already asked Puck if he could find Brooklyn but Puck said he couldn't do anything if he hadn't seen the device.

Hudson had an arm around him. "Don't worry lad, we'll keep figuring it out. We won't give up on him. I just hope the lad didn't have any problems, wherever he is."

....

Back in Arendelle, the newly wedded couple were mostly sleeping in their bed at the ice castle when Brooklyn felt himself wake up, yawning sleepily. He knew today was the last day of their honeymoon and of possibly for him to return home again which made him excited but then, he would have his stone sleep return in that world.

At least I got to experience sleeping with a mate in bed. For any gargoyle it is a dream, Brook thought in a sad way, looking towards his wife, Elsa. She lay there, still sleeping but as beautiful as ever, making Brooklyn grin softly, stroking her hair gently. He never thought that he would actually win a girl's heart but this was his reward. And Brooklyn was glad about it.

Soon though Brooklyn began to wake her gently. "Elsa, we gotta get up." Brooklyn coaxed, Elsa moaning but turning, smiling in a tired way at him. "Good morning, my love." She greeted, the two giving each other a kiss again.

"I hate to leave though we do need to go home so we can figure out how to get to New York," Brooklyn told Elsa as the two sat up. All Brooklyn needed was his loincloth but he would let his wife have privacy to get dressed.

She nodded. "I'm sure my magic will figure out something. We can talk to Yelma about it too." After slipping on her dress, the two went to have one last breakfast before soon heading out to their horse cart to prepare for the ride home.

....

During their honeymoon Olaf had really been missing Elsa and Brooklyn, asking almost every day if they were back yet and each reply had been no so far. But then just hours before they will eventually show, Anna was watering some of her plants on the castle balcony when Olaf startled her.

"Are they back yet?!" Olaf exclaimed in his childlike manner, making Anna nearly drop her watering can.

She shook her head. "No, Olaf. But soon. Wedded couples usually need time for themselves after getting married, I've told you before.
