Chapter 1: The Prophecy

I had finally gotten the chance to relax after a long day of paperwork and being stuck in my study for hours on end. I trudged my feet across the hall as deep sigh escaped me. Upon entering my room I slipped out of my casual emerald dress and changed into my silk nightgown. The silk clung to my skin from the cold that seeped through the windowsill. Climbing into bed I wrapped my quilt around me for some warmth. The goose feather filled pillow rested my head and soon enough I slowly closed my eyes and was fast asleep before I knew it.

I shot awake when I heard a knock coming from the other side of my bedroom door. I groggily rubbed my eyes as I let out a yawn and stretched my limbs.

"Elsa, it's time to wake up for your big meeting today," Anna reminded me through the door. My whole body boosted with energy from Anna's reminder. I jumped out of bed and hurried into the bath. I turned on the water and began to undress myself—my silk nightgown pooled at my feet as I step out of it and into the running bath. The water was already lukewarm and it soothed my tired skin. I quickly washed my hair as thoroughly as I could and I took the vanilla oil body wash and lathered it across chest, torso, arms, and legs. I continued to swath my body in a strong vanilla scent; the aroma was just heavenly.

I was glad to find it in the market one fine day—it has certainly paid off. I finally finished rinsing myself off and I stepped out of the bath after draining the water. I wrapped my fluffy towel around me and I scurried back into my room to search my closet for the perfect dress for the meeting. I unwrapped the towel around me and bent over as I twisted the towel on top of my head and opened the door to my walk in closet. The water was dripping off my body and onto the tile floor as I browsed through my closet. I smiled once I spotted a plum colored dress that was embroidered with silver designs along the bodice and waistline. The dress hung to the floor and I was happy to know that this dress would go perfect with my silver gladiator sandals that Anna got for me for Christmas last year.

I first tightened a bustier around my torso and I slipped on my usual undergarments and long underwear underneath the dress. Once I was completely done I stood in front of the mirror to observe the final product. The dress fell perfectly to my feet and my hair was just exactly how I had it for my coronation last year. I sighed deeply as the memories of those times flooded my mind. I still can't believe that I survived that whole nightmare. But I am glad that everything is at peace once again and Arendelle is in no danger whatsoever. I then took one more glance at myself in the mirror and smiled genuinely at my reflection.

"You're stronger than you think Elsa," I reassure myself before I turn my back from the mirror and open my bedroom door. As I walk out into the main hallway of the castle I gripped on to the intricate wooden rail of the staircase as I watched each step that I took—hoping that I wouldn't trip on my dress. My carriage arrives at a punctual time of 9 o'clock. I graciously bow towards the driver and the generous man who opens the carriage door for me. I sink into the cushion seat of the carriage as it rocks back and forth of the horses moving fairly quickly. I lay my hands in my lap with the invitation as I patiently wait for our arrival to the location. I glance down at the invitation again and see that we meet at this certain tree deep in the Blue Moon Forest. They say a man named North will be waiting for me and it is also said in the description that he will transport me to The North Pole. I was a little nervous about this but I have a feeling these people know exactly what they are doing. They don't call themselves the "Guardians of the Earth" for nothing. The carriage's wheels bounced against the dirt trail as the ride began to get increasingly bumpy. Then suddenly the carriage came to a stop and the driver announced our arrival. I let out a small smile as the driver opened the door for me to step out. The tree was tall and just by taking one glance at it—something in my mind told me that this tree was special in its own way. I stood by the tall trunk as piles of leaves were scattered all across the area. It was the end of February and oddly there hadn't been any snowfall in days. It was strange for this time of year. Then all of a sudden I heard a rumbling voice behind me, and with an accent so thick I could hardly understand what the man had said. I would have guessed it was North once I turned around. I had to completely look up in order to give North eye contact—he must've been seven feet tall! I tried to hide my gasp but that rendered useless.

"A-are you North…?" I hesitate as I blink a few times. He flashes a grin towards me and he pulls out a snow globe from his heavy jacket pocket.

"Yes, I am the one they call North," he said with that same accent. I could identify that it was Russian. Though he didn't look so much as Russian but more so as Santa Clause.

"Ready to go?" He asked as he took my hand. I was surprised that he did so but he then shook the snow globe and it suddenly brought us through a portal. I gasped as my eyes darted around my surroundings. But it was too late to see everything before the portal spit me out and onto the velvet carpet of North's Quarters. North landed on his feet perfectly and he turned towards me helping me back up in the process.

"Thank you," I murmured as I got back up on my feet.

"Please follow me to the meeting room, we have much to discuss—yet very little time," he added as he began to walk off. I followed right behind him as he led down the hallway. The walls were red to complement the carpet and the walls had gold lines running across the lengths of the wallpaper. It shined beautifully as I continued to walk further. We stopped at a door at the end of the hallway and North opened it slowly. Behind the doors opened to an extravagant meeting room with a golden chandelier lit with dozens of candles. Below the chandelier was a long mahogany table with about ten chairs on the left and right of it. Not to also include the carpet was intricately designed with thousands of geometric shapes in a dozen shades of red. Red was a much-loved color within this vicinity. The architecture and decoration of this castle was beautiful, and all far too lovely to surpass my own castle back at home, or the one I made myself.

Once North and I took a seat at the table the other Guardians soon arrived after. North introduced them all. First was Tooth, who resembled a fairy and she was swathed in many beautiful colors—royal blue, bright yellow, vibrant pinks, and rich greens. Then the Bunnymund, which looked more like a kangaroo than a rabbit to me and he too had an accent, but one quite different from North's. Then lastly Sandy, Sandy didn't speak much but he was kind and joyous. His powers were very strong and from what it seemed, the group really counted on Sandy to always be there. They all gathered around the table as I straightened my back and squared my shoulders to show my professionalism. The meeting was ready to begin.

"Now Queen Elsa—"North began as he hesitated for a moment. He seemed to have something very important to say. I leaned forward in curiosity as my heart sped up in an instant. North sighed deeply before he spoke up again.

"Elsa, have you ever heard of the boogeyman?" He stated his question simply. Where was he going with this? I asked myself. The rest of the Guardians set their eyes on me, waiting for my response.

"Uh, he's a myth from what I heard. He was a story often told to young children in order to scare them or keep them awake at night. The story would tell the children to always look under their bed because the boogeyman could be under there, patiently waiting to snatch you in your sleep and plague your dreams with evil." I explain, recalling a couple of myths I read in a book one day in my library. I would always occupy myself with books while I was locked up in my room. They were the only things that kept me company.

"You're quite on point there Queen Elsa, except for the fact that he isn't any myth, but a real entity." North said in a low voice. My eyes widened as saucers from his comment. H-how could it be? Could this boogeyman have something to do with me?

"How does this have anything to do with me?" I asked as my eyebrows furrowed.

"… Well" North continued. "Here's the thing, there is no doubt that the boogeyman otherwise known as Pitch will return—and with more power than ever before. The Moon sent us a prophecy and the Moon has chosen you to fulfill it, along with someone else." North explained as he held up a yellowed piece of crumpled paper.

"What is this prophecy?" I ask urgently as my curiosity couldn't take it anymore. I clutch on to my chest as I tried to control myself. I was beginning to get over excited and my powers were becoming unbalanced. I breathed deeply as I waited for North's response.

"The prophecy has foretold that you and the Winter Spirit must get married, and that you must carry "The Frost Child". The Frost Child is the only being that will be strong enough to stop Pitch's reign over the world, and you must conceive this child between you and the Winter Spirit. If unable to do so, this world will turn into chaos and underneath Pitch's control. Pitch's 'Nightmares' will roam the streets and every human will be haunted with their worst nightmare every waking moment they are alive." North explained as best he could. My face paled as I felt the blood rush from my whole body. I was in complete shock. I didn't know what to say nor do.

I-I must what with whom? Who is this Winter Spirit and why is he be the one I marry? And… And… I couldn't finish the sentence—it felt as if I was going to vomit. I can't become a parent already. I don't know the first thing to do when raising a child, especially one with powers such as mine! This is outrageous! What am I going to do?

My face twisted in angst as I tried my best to gather my thoughts and breath.

"Queen Elsa? Are you okay?" North asked in concern as I stared blankly at the wall across from me.

But what was a Queen to do in a situation like this?

Whew! Well there's the first chapter, please don't forget to leave a lovely review! I'll be trying to post every week or two but it will be tough with my struggling and extremely busy life. Though I will promise you that once the end of May comes around I will be free to post often! Probably even up to two times a week if I'm lucky! So please be patient and kind to me (hehe ^^").
