Iduna POV

Everything just went blank, I couldn't see my mother anymore, or any northuldra land, in a blink of an eye I am back in the cave.

It's all a lie.

I looked around and saw Agnarr at a corner, shaking his head as if he got headache.

"Both of you managed to pass my little test."

"What test...." Agnarr said it unknowingly.

"The path of no return." It sounded creepy, but it made sense, I went back to our time as if the time travelling, but why he would do that?

"Who are you! Show yourself!" Agnarr pointed the sword at the voice.

"I sense fear, not like your father arrogance." I could see Agnarr eyes widen in distress, I went to him and held his hand as tightly as possible to calm him down.

"I am the one you have been looking for." I could hear him smiling creepily.

"You must be the reindeer...the shape shifting reindeer." I said.

"Where are the king and Queen?" Agnarr demand.

"They are in a safe place, once you go through the portal they will be released. No harm will come to them." I hope he would do that when we leave, I don't want to leave here with any remorse for arendelle.

"If you ever want to go back, there is another item for you to find- cough cough- The tomb of strength. I lost most of my powers recreating the scene. I could regain my strength and build a portal for you to go home."

The what now? Tomb of strength, sounds mythical.

"Where is it." Agnarr and I asked in unison.

"Find the tomb of strength- with the clearest heart, find it! You must FIND IT-"

The voice disappeared, and then a passageway opened for us and we could see the children and Olaf all hugging tightly together.

They ran towards us and hug us tightly like they will never let us go again.

"Fun adventure?" I teased them.

"Where did you go? Papa just vanished as we can't grab hold of him." Anna hugged my face.

"I don't know." I felt that Agnarr was feeling the same thing as me, it hard to explain this sort of situation.

"Elsa made something, it pretty cool." Kristoff said as he pointed to a weird looking ice figure.

"It looks like it belonged to the trolls, just saying." Kristoff when and played with the statue.

"I think we know where we are going." Agnarr touched the icy statue.

I then noticed something in the middle of the statue, it felt like it was missing, I then remembered what the voice just said.

The clearest heart.

Agnarr thought fast and Kristoff said something about the trolls.

Guess we are going for an friendly visit to our old pals.

"Oh and this. It just came out of the rocks! Looks like my lemonade, but darker." Olaf them brought out a potion filled with black liquid.

"This must have been the fourth item." I took it, for safekeeping reason of course, now we have the potion of no return, I named it from what the shape-shifting reindeer said.

Counting the items we collected, the scarf....sword...pole....and potion, when will our last item be so that I could go back home?

We all quickly found a way out of the cave and back to the reindeers.

The day has just risen, how many days since I came to this era? I lost count of it, because of the large events that I never knew that would happened in my life time.

Agnarr just felt glum the whole walk down the icy stairs, even with Olaf jokes made him gave only a slight smile.

We met up with oaken and return him his sled and reindeers, and he was nice enough to borrow the reindeers
to get to places.

Well he did want us to try out his branch juice, only Olaf and Sven are willing to do so, and they got extra gifts from oaken for doing so.

As we didn't bring the correct map with the markings so we did get lost here and there.

"Hey this isn't the way to the trolls." Kristoff alerted us.

"It feels very off, the location- the map can't be wrong." Agnarr took out the map again.

Kristoff then stopped in his movement.

"Hey what's-" as Anna wanted to say something, Kristoff used his hands to shut her mouth and gave us a signal to all be quiet.

"I might be wrong but I heard the growls of wolves." He then whispered to us.

As far as I know, When someone gives a warning whoever is it, you have to trust it. Guess who didn't trust it, agnarr and his bookworm head.

"I studied this terrain, the alpha timber wolves aren't native here, so-" I shut Agnarr mouth, I could hear the growls much clearer.

I then quickly carried Elsa and Anna on my reindeer and hop on myself as Kristoff hopping on Sven. Agnarr realised the situation and juggled Olaf on his reindeer.

I then saw the wolves coming closer and they looked very hungry. I smelled something nice pop out of Olaf pouch.

"Whats in your bag Olaf!" I yelled at him.

"Oh it's oaken summer hotdog! He said it looks especially nice-" I then threw the hotdog out at the wolves.

"My hotdog!" I could hear Olaf whining, but that's not the time to care about this.

I then ordered Kristoff to go off first before us, their safety are my priority.

It doesn't take long for a pack of wolves to finish that meat and I could hear their growling again.

Seeing Sven not catching up with us, I then did a swift jump and landed on the ground on my kneecaps. Not going to lie It felt cool doing the stunt.

"What are you doing!" Agnarr voice got me.

"I will distract them first! Go! They aren't targeting us!" I then took out the northuldra pole behind me and poke it out to show my strength.

The wolves felt intimidated and back away but still growling.

"I know you all are hungry but aren't you targeting the wrong pack? I have no food with me now." I babbler it out even though I know they wouldn't understand. It's a habit of mine to talk to animals.

I could hear some of them whimpering, I felt bad but I have nothing to offer to them.

"Well maybe I could give you some drinks?" I then took out a bottle of oaken juice and went near them.

They were hesitant, I mean it looks very bad but once they smell it, they wanted it.

"There there." I place a bowl down so they can all drink it.

"The act of kindness is what I see." I then heard someone behind me.

End

What do you think oaken branch juice would taste like? I mean for sure I have no idea what it would taste like as it is fiction item.

Now the gang has their fourth item and I would like to call it the vale of no return. It's like a black essence trap in a potion.

Now guess what would be their fifth item? Welp find out on the next chapter where we will discover it :>
