Daughter of the Moon

Chapter 21

☾☾Manny

Manny sighed, as he was working on paper work. Life as a king wasn't easy, especially when his only daughter had past, ending a war against evil. There were moments when Manny broke down in tears, causing small tsunamis on Earth. However, him and his wife had no time to wallow in self pity. If they did, the world would end up in chaos. 

The lunar guardian was scribbling down his initials on documents, when suddenly, there was a knock at the door. 

"Come in." 

A footstep and a click of metal echoed through the room, "Your Majesty, how are you doing?" 

"I'm doing well, Hiccup." Manny looked up from his paperwork and smiled, "How are you?" 

The shaggy brunette smiled, "I'm well. My wife and I are expecting, sir. I would like to take some time off to care for her, if that's okay, your majesty?" 

Manny chuckled, "Oh, Hiccup. Congratulations, and please call me Manny." Hiccup relaxed a bit, making the lunar king grin, "I suppose you can take some time off. I'll have Alexander take your place while you are gone." 

"Thank you, Manny." He smiled and continued with his paperwork. But, Hiccup was just still there. He was rocking himself, back and forth, humming a little tune. 

The tune was familiar to Manny and he chuckled, "Elsa used to sing that song. She was in love with it." 

"Yes, she did. That little Snowdrop was quite talented. Everyone here misses her terribly. Elsa always found a way to make things better and brighter." Manny nodded, "Your majesty?" 

"Yes, Hiccup?" 

He sighed, "I have a feeling." Manny furrowed his brow. Hiccup rubbed his nape, "I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I think that Elsa's work  unfinished." 

"What do you mean?" 

Manny was intrigued by Hiccup's proposition, so he continued, "I feel like Elsa is missing something in her work. I remember walking down the hallway and hearing something about a missing piece on Earth. I thought that was impossible. Earth has been at its finest for year. I mean remember the Ice Age." Manny nodded, chuckling. Hiccup huffed, "Anyways, sir. It's only a feeling, but it's a strong one. I think that you should look into it."

"Thank you, Hiccup. I'll think about it." Manny gestured him towards the door, and Hiccup left. Manny sighed. What does he mean by missing piece?  His thoughts were quickly interuptted by a fair maiden, walking in, "Hello, my queen." 

The Tsarina chuckled, "Hello, my love. How's your paperwork?" 

"Piling up as usual. I have my stack of meeting notes here and my stack of nonsense right here." Lady Solar giggled at her husband's joke. 

She smiled, "Too think, we were going to pass this on to Elsa went she completed her mission." Manny shook his head and gazed at his queen. She was still smiling and chuckled, "Remember when she was 6 and she ran around your office like she was flying. Or when she was 12, when she was dancing with you. Those days were the best." Manny nodded. He was amazed at his wife finding joy in their daughter's passing. 

"That was a day to remember. Speaking of Elsa, Hiccup just came by." The queen tilted her head, "He told me something very interesting. He believes that there's something missing in Elsa's work." 

The queen gasped, "What are you trying to say?" 

"That's just it. I don't know. I don't know anything about this." Manny shook his head and sighed. He looked out the window, his back facing Lady Solar.
