Swords of Wisdom

V

A black wolf came down the stream of water and into the woods. His ears moved when it heard noises coming from the bushes. It turned around and saw Pitch.

Pitch studied the wolf for a while. He brought his hands up and blasted the wolf with his black sand. The wolf turned like the black sand. The sand twirl around and soon it gave out a light; a man appeared after the sand had disappeared. The man looked like a ghost because his feet were not on the ground, he was just floating. His hands were folded behind him. He was in a black cloth and his skin was extremely pale like a dead man. His red eyes narrowed at Pitch.

Pitch got on his knees. "Lord V is good to see you again."

"Have you done it?"

"Yes, the prince is dead."

"How can you be sure?''

"His body was lost in the sea."

"Good. I want you to go back to Overland."

"Shall I get rid of the queen?"

"No, not yet," said V. "I already know who the other Chosen One is.''

"Who is it, my lord?"

"Princess Elsa of Arendalle" said V. "I've sent two of my best assassins to kill her. Where's the sword?"

''I'm still looking for it.''

"You have to find it, I need the two swords."

"Yes, my lord."

V turned into black sand and disappeared. Pitch let out a sigh and disappeared into the woods.

"You can't be serious!" said Merida, looking at Kristoff with a horrified expression.

"I am," said Kristoff. "There were hundreds of them and they lifted the ship up and tried to crash it. But luckily Maria and I jumped out in time."

"But Jack?" asked Crystal.

"We don't know what happened," said Kristoff with a sad look.

"But we can not give up," said Maria, standing up. "He's still alive."

"How do you know?" asked Merida. "For all we know, he could have drowned in the sea."

Maria narrowed her eyes at Merida. "Are you saying that you don't have hope that my brother is still alive?"

"No, I didn't mean it like that," said Merida, raising her hands up in defense.

"We have to look for him," said Maria.

"Where can we look for him?" asked Kristoff.

Maria put her hand on her waist, trying to think.

"There's an island near the place where the ship crashed," said Crystal. "He could be there."

"Yeah," said Maria.

"But it's also a dangerous place. A man named Arden lives there. He's a blood thirsty war lord who terrorized villages for money."

"We'll stay low," said Maria.

"Or we could just go and kick his butt," suggested Merida.

"We can't, it will just bring trouble," said Crystal, glaring at Merida for that stupid suggestion.
