A Tale From The Past

~Chapter I~

Many Years Earlier...

❄️Iduna's Point Of View❄️

I don't understand, one minute my people and the Arendellians were peacefully having fun and watching the beauty of the forest. But then they began attacking us.

The wind spirit and I were playing when it happened as it lifted me into a tree out of the danger

Looking below I spot the young Prince, Agnarr I believe his name was, being knocked unconscious.

I quickly climb down the tree and rush to his side to see if he was still alive. After looking closely I notice he is still breathing and try to lift some of this weight up off the ground.

"How am I suppose to get him out of here?" I question thinking hard

Suddenly I remembered the wind spirit. I must call for it, surely it'll help me, it has always been a close friend of mine.

"Ah-ah, ah-ah" I sing out, but get no response. I have to try again before we get trapped in here,

"Ah-ah, ah-ah" this time I feel the wind lifting both the Prince and I off the ground out of the forest towards a random wagon outside the forest.

I gently lay the Prince down carefully resting his head on what looks to be a bag while I look around.

"Thank you" I say to the wind which throws a blanket over my body to keep me hidden as I curl up next to the Prince.

Suddenly I feel the wagon start moving. And that's when I realise.. my family, my home is gone.. and I will probably never see it ever again.

I begin to quietly sob underneath the blanket wondering how I'm suppose to live my life. I'm only thirteen.

"Do you hear something Helga?" I hear a male voice ask

"I think it came from the wagon?" Replies a woman's voice.

I then feel the wagon stop moving and the sound of someone getting off

"Oh my dear! Gustav, quickly we must get to the castle!" Shouts the woman who's name I realised was Helga

"Why is that dear?" Replies Gustav I believe

"It's the Prince! Prince Agnarr. He's unconscious, we must return to Arendelle immediately!" Rushes Helga as I feel the wagon move much faster than before.

I then slowly begin to drift off into a deep sleep. 'I hope this is all a dream' I say in my mind before everything fades into darkness.

❄️Helga's Point of View❄️

After finding his Royal Highness on the back of our wagon, I wondered how he got there. Or more importantly where the King was as I remembered the two Royals were going to a Northern Tribe.

Taking a glance behind me I noticed the Prince still unconscious but also something move under the blanket next to him.

"Dear, I think someone else is back there" I whisper to my husband

"What do you mean?" He asks confused quickly looking back

"The blanket is moving, as if someone or something is breathing underneath it"

"We'll check it out once we get to the palace"

Another 30 minute ride on the road and we finally arrive to the gates of the castle in Arendelle

"Help! Quickly! It's his Royal Highness!" Shouts Gustav getting the guards attention who come rushing over

"Do you know what happened?" Asks one of the soldiers

"No we do not, we found him unconscious outside the enchanted forest" I say as we watch them carefully carry the young Prince inside the castle

"Thank you for returning him, a reward will be given to you for returning his Highness safely" speaks the soldier before turning around and heading into the castle.

"Let's head home before we see who else is back there" Says Gustav as we return home while I keep checking to see if they are still there to which they were.

Once we arrive to our cottage on the hill we quietly walk towards the back of the wagon.

Carefully my husband lifts up the blanket to reveal a young girl with brown wavy hair sleeping peacefully.

"I don't think she is part of the royal guard, she is far too young" I say looking the mysterious girl over

"Let's bring her inside, it's getting chilly out here and is very late. We can ask her tomorrow morning who she is when she wakes" replies Gustav who carefully picks up the girl and brings her into our home

"Let's put her in the spare bedroom" I say as we walk up the stairs into our spare room.

Placing her gently on the bed I walk over and take off her shoes before pulling a blanket over her small body.

"Let's get some sleep my dear, she will tell us in the morning" Says Gustav as we walk out of the room closing the door behind us and retire to our room for the night.
