The Snow Queen and Eclipse Child (Elsa x Male Reader)

The Trek Back

You followed the Captain of the over to a door on the side of the castle. As you entered it, you found yourself inside the castle barracks, with beds on one side with chests at their feet and two more doors leading out of the room, one ahead of you and the other to your left. You followed the captain through the one ahead of you that led into a small hallway.

There was a flight of stairs that lead both down and up to your right, another door in front of you with two guards next to it and one to your left, but it would be more accurate to call it a vault more than anything else. It was a large metal door that was covered in locks and bolts. The captain walked through the door that had the guards in front of it, beckoning you to follow through.

You assumed this was his office and did as he asked. It was about what you'd expect in a captain's office, a simple desk with notes and reports on it, two chairs in front of it, the royal flag of Arendelle hanging on the wall behind it, and two small windows on either side of the flag. You couldn't see out of the windows due to your height, but you imagined that it showed the river and the opposing shoreline.

"Please, have a seat." He said, pointing to a chair in front of his desk.

"Is there something wrong, Captain? I didn't go too far in the duel, did I" You asked as you sat in one of the chairs.

"No, nothing like that. It was just a practice match anyway, and no one was injured so there's nothing to worry about. Besides, you are an esteemed guest here, so I have no power to discipline you. On top of that, the only ones involved in the duel was you and one of my experienced guards. Winning that fight shows that you have immense skill in fighting, which deserves some recognition. But that's for another time. The reason I called you here, in fact, has some to do with said skills."

Your hands began to tense at this. You had a feeling to where this was going, and we're afraid of how it would end. You could take him easy, even without your weapons, but fighting every guard in the castle and making yourself an enemy of Arendelle wasn't something that you want to happen.

"Would you mind telling me where you learned how to fight?"

"As I said, I learned it while living on the road."

"Mind telling me who taught you?"

You were silent for a moment as your fist began to clench up. You were not visibly tense, your friendly smile was gone, replaced with one of distrust and suspicion.

"Was it Hendricks?" The captain asked.

The second you heard this, your eyes exploded as you zoomed over to him. The second the captain realized that you were coming for him, you already had him pinned to the wall, clutching his collar and holding a knife to his throat. He noticed that it was his knife, amazed by the speed that you had in pulling it out so quickly.

"Captain? Everything alright in there?" One of the guards asked outside the door.

"Everything is fine, just dropped a few things, that's all." He said, ensuring that they don't come in.

You were puzzled by this. Here you were, holding a weapon up to his throat ready to kill him in an instant, and yet he removed the possibility of having backup to fight you. You didn't know how to react to this, but you didn't show it.

"Who are you? How do you know Hendricks?" You asked quietly.

"My name is Desh Parkinson. I used to train under Hendricks when I was a kid, back when we were a part of the Moonlight Warriors of Taro."

The Moonlight Warriors of Taro. That was a name you wanted to forget very much. The fact that he was a member makes him an even bigger threat than before. And if he trained under the old man, then he knew all about your fighting style. After all, you learned it from Hendricks. But if he trained under him, then maybe he was still allied with him too.
