Frozen III: Foreordained To Do

Chapter 8

At the statue of their parents, Elsa and Anna stood on the steps in front of the citizens of Arendelle. The people have gathered to hear what their monarch has to announce. Worry is seen on the faces of them. General Matthias stood beside the two sisters to show solidarity and support of the Arendellian army. Anna and Elsa have briefed the general to what is happening and what they plan to do. 

Elsa noticed that her sister is nervous. Anna breathed faster than normal and hands curled into a fist. "Anna," Elsa whispered and Anna looked at her, "you can do it. I am right here. They will listen to you. You are their Queen," Elsa assured her by squeezing her right shoulder, showing her support. 

Anna took a deep breath, "everyone, thank you for meeting with us. I can see the worry on all of your faces. I know that we have experienced so much in the past years, yet we have survived all of them. Now, I confess to you that we are in another crossroad. We have learned that a prophecy from our ancestors is about to come true. It is a prophecy that affects not only Arendelle, but other allies as well. Elsa, will you repeat the prophecy for them?"

"Of course, 'Darkness will come so thus destruction. A messenger will be in formation. As one goes north, one goes south, the fall of another is the destruction of another. Then she will rebuff as a stronger one will end her guff.'" Elsa declared. The moment the citizens of Arendelle realized what the prophecy is loud gasps and murmurs can be heard all over the place. Panic is starting to be imminent.

"Everyone, please settle down," Anna stated, "nothing good will come out if we start to panic. I know this is scary, but I promise you we are doing everything we can for all of you to be safe. My sister and I have made a vow to protect Arendelle, and we will protect Arendelle,"

Elsa took Anna's hand, "we did it before. We will do it again,"

"What do we do, your Majesty?" Oaken asked as his family crowded beside him.

"Lieutenant Mattias?"Anna encouraged.

"Yes," Lieutenant Mattias said, "Our queen has received a letter from the King of Corona asking for our help a couple of days ago. The kingdom of Corona is now covered by a dark fog that restrict its citizens of continuing with their daily lives. Because of the dark fog, their source of food is depleted. Many people are getting sick. Since Corona is an ally of Arendelle, it is our kingdom's duty to aid them in their time in need. We have offered them refuge in our kingdom for the time being. However, her Majesty and her Royal Highness have deemed that Arendelle may not be the safest since it may be included in the prophecy. Her Royal Highness offered the Enchanted Forest as a refuge for all of us until it is safe to return. The other spirits will be our protectors. The Northuldran tribe has obliged and offered their hospitality to all of you,"

As Lieutenant Mattias finished his speech, a young boy grabbed the bottom of Elsa's dress, "Your Highness, are you going to use your powers to protect us from harm like you did before?"

Elsa looked at everyone before kneeling down to look the boy in the eye. She held his hand a caressed it, "I promise you. I will do everything I can so that you and everyone will not be harmed. Will you trust me?"

"I always trust you, Your Highness," the boy hugged Elsa, "be careful though,"

Elsa smiled as she hugged the little boy back, "I will and besides the Queen will be there to protect me too. She always saves me at the end. We have each other's back," She let go of the boy's hand and stood up. "We will be sailing to the Southern Isles because we believe we will find the answer to end the prophecy so that it will not inflict any harm to all of us,"

"Who will lead us while both of you are gone? Is Lieutenant Mattias coming with you?" Halima asked.

"The spirits will protect all of you. Lieutenant Mattias will be coming with us along with some of the Arendellian army. The others will stay here with you. The leader of the Northuldra tribe, Yelana, is who I am leaving in charge. Many of you have met her, and I know that you also see her as a very capable leader," Anna said.
