All Frozen in the Arendelle Front

Whispers of the Wind

Anna of Arendelle was feeling particularly peaceful that day, enjoying a level of calm, solitude and silence that she would have never imagined during the seven nights that they had been trapped in the underground bunker...

The valley seemed impossibly calm now that the offensives had ended, twelve days had passed since the departure of most of her army, the few enemies that remained at the other side had been quiet all that time and even the wild animals were returning to the snowy battlefield.

Anna discovered a variety of reindeers and foxes as she rode a white horse not far from the Cracker positions, the eagles were flying high above the forests and there were hundreds of ravens playing in the snow...

"I wish that I could turn into a raven" Anna whispered, admiring the elegant beauty of those mischievous black birds- "I would just fly to the sky, and never think of the war ever again..."

The ravens really seemed to be having fun, perhaps wondering why they could enjoy a frozen Winter in the middle of Summer... the reindeers were crossing the valley as they descended from the mountains of the East, everything looked peaceful and Anna found it hard to believe that actually she remained at the Front.

It just didn't look like a war theater anymore, except for the fact that thousands of cadavers remained there all frozen and buried by the snow...

Anna continued to ride alone for some time, always careful to not venture too far towards enemy lines, and then a voice that she knew very well came from somewhere nearby:

"Anna! Come back, they could send Scouts or something again!"

Kristoff came riding a tall and white horse towards her, wearing a white cloak as camouflage and looking rather worried to discover that Anna had ventured beyond the Cracker lines for the seventh time that week.

It was the twelfth time that the Princess was doing this, everyone thought that it was incredibly dangerous and on top of everything, not happy with riding alone in a war zone, Anna was wearing her military green cloak instead of something white that would help to camouflage her in the snowy fields...

"I just wanted to enjoy the whispers of the wind" Anna said, now stopping her horse and turning around to have a look at Kristoff- "Any news from the sentinels, Kristoff?"

"Nothing, just like yesterday... and the day before that... and the day before that..."

"I guess these peaceful days are good news, anyway" Anna said, looking up at the sky- "Please remind me to call my sister tonight, Kristoff... I'll say Nothing unusual, Elsa! All Frozen in the Arendelle Front..."

"That sounds great!" Kristoff replied- "It should be the name of a book about this war, perhaps you could write it someday..."

Anna laughed, Kristoff took some time to admire the peaceful reindeers, everything was perfect... it was then when the terrible danger gave them the first warning, and it was a sudden and violent smell that had filled the snowy and freezing air all around them.

It was an awful, rotten and burning smell that Anna and Kristoff would have no words to describe, they both suffered a corrosive sensation in their noses and eyes and after that, very alarmed, Anna turned her head towards the South and discovered that an eerie green fog was advancing quickly towards them.

"What the hell is that?!"

Anna started to gasp, her lungs were hurting already and a few seconds later she started to cough drops of blood...

They witnessed in horror as the reindeers began to escape and collapse while the green fog advanced, the ravens just flew the hell out of there as fast as they could, the smell soon became unbearable and Anna's heart was frozen by fear as they finally understood that this was a chemical attack.

The wind was taking this poisonous fog right towards the Arendellan positions, and then Anna and Kristoff, knowing that every second was precious, turned their horses around and dashed to alert everyone else as fast as they could.

"Gas! Gas!" Kristoff screamed, hoping against all possibilities that somebody would listen to the warning- "Gas is coming! Gas! Gaaaas!"

"Faster, Kristoff!"

Anna discovered the smell of her own blood as she coughed and gasped, knowing that these could very well be the last moments of her life...
