Thank you all for so avidly following and reading our continuing trilogy saga of "Frozen Again" as Book One is completed with revisions to fit in 'canon' with 'Frozen 2's recent release!
We hope you enjoyed "Frozen Again: Faith, Hope, and Love'" (The start of this I Corinthians impactful verse) from its 'Prologue' to 'Epilogue ', with so much Love and joy and forgiveness and hope in between all its adventure, romance, and fun all songfully mixed together in the fine Disney fairytale tradition!
I wanted to give that first part of the story of adventures with pirates and mystic ancient treasures, heart rendered re-meetings and blossoming love a proper close, so we could start our next new voyage of this sequel.
It was there that we saw Helsa, Kristanna & Eupunzel's first thrilling adventures.
The story ended as a cliffhanger, full of Elsa longing for a certain redhead - an awakening emotion on a level that our formerly withdrawn, platinum blonde Queen of the Ice never experienced before, that Prince Hans-some has evoked within her.
And now, we can begin Frozen Again's Book 2 "Frozen Again: 'But the Greatest of These is Love'" Act V with a short prologue, where it starts us off on our next leg of our journey right where the last ended, with the beautiful Ice Queen Elsa yearning for her own unlikely true love in handsome, heroic, humbled Prince Hans, who has already left under mysterious circumstances that the Queen of Arendelle was left purposefully unaware of.
Thanks again for reading and supporting Frozen Again as our romantic couples explore their love for one another in a new setting...Perhaps in this Book 2 we'll be traveling South of Arendelle next, to another Isle kingdom not so far away...
Wherever they roam, there's sure to be romance, drama, comedy and intrigue for our trio of Disney fairytale couples! ^_^
And there'll be an additional cast of characters Prince Hans is familiar with in the Southern Isles, whom we'll meet in the heart of breathtaking Scandinavia, Odense, Denmark the birthplace of The Snow Queen's prolific creator, Hans Christian Anderson...
Welcome to the new romantic drama sequel - 'Frozen Again: But the Greatest of These is Love' !
Thanks for your avid support and readership through the years! :) We'll keep faithfully updating through this month!
And Olaf and Eliana still love reviews!

"Frozen Again: 'But the Greatest of These is Love'"
Prologue:
"Autumn Leaves"
Warm.
Inside, I want to feel warm like that again…
The large, five-masted frigate Feia had docked with the hauled Gler into Norway's northern island of Lofoten port for repairs of the battle-worn, but still viable, naval craft as it goes in for an extensive overhaul after its first lifesaving mission at sea.
Its weary passengers disembark to step onto the stability of dry land after their long and arduous, incredible journey. The far-flung adventure had involved a ruthless wicked pirate, a ferocious sea monster, and the deadly Moskenstraumen on top of all that.
So now they could all give a collective sigh of relief it was over.
The tall blonde young woman had told the others to go on to the local inn, kissing her exhausted parents fondly before they left in the carriage to rest with Anna, Gerda, Kai and Mattias, who had a lot to talk over with the weak-legged King he had helped into the coach, once Agnarr had semi-recovered.
So, Elsa was the last to descend the gangplank of the docked frigate, due to a quick change of clothing and chignon hairstyling from the mystical free flowing tresses of her Winter Queen of Ahtohallen iridescent white and lilac enchanted garb. She had remained onboard the Feia when everyone else left in the carriage with Councilor Kai's prompting to arrive at the local inn he had commissioned before the darkness fell.
Queen Elsa of Arendelle, changed into her more modest and less attention-grabbing purple velveteen dress and matching jacket, had stopped to gaze longingly behind her at the now vacant deck of the dilapidated HmNos Gler.
There, so many memories were born for the platinum blonde woman, who set out on an incredible journey to reclaim both ancient holy relics of her nation and subsequently retrieve her beloved baby sister from a villainous pirate.
And it was all only accomplished with the competent, insightful aid and heroics of a certain penitent redheaded Prince, whom she had made Kommander of both the schooner steamship… and also of her heart.
Even if handsome Prince Hans Westergaard was no longer present anywhere on the well-searched naval vessel, his ghost was still everywhere Elsa looked.
Before traveling to the nearby inn in the waiting carriage, Elsa instead levitated herself with her ice magic up to the splintered remains of the Gler's once mighty top deck. As the evening's lunar visitor finally made her appearance over the sun-drenched landscape, Elsa easily used her ice magic to investigate – no, more like sentimentally stroll – each deck of the fairly destroyed ship.
Its main mast may have purposely been shorn off and utilized by its tactically brilliant captain as the battering ram/javelin that incapacitated the evil seamonster threatening them all, but each careful step across its tattered, battle-worn, wooden strakes was a reminder to the wistful young woman. Each brought back to her some event or conversation passed between them onboard during the harrowing journey where their love story began to soar.
Each blushing, warm reminiscence generally concerned some valiant feat or witty repartee of her new champion whom, once-shy-of-men, reticent Elsa never before could have imagined would be Prince Hans of the Southern Isles.
Kommander Westergaard in the wheelhouse ably commanding his coxswain; Prince Hans, dashing near the bowsprit, patiently instructing Olaf how to use the compass; Hans offering her his warm, comforting hand in the stairwell kindly calming her to be of strong heart with a stabilizing religious verse or song; Elsa's daring hero had even challenged the very heart of the Moskenstraumen – and won that dare.
For her, her family, and her country.
But why, after so courageously playing a major role in saving her nation from this impending evil, would her chivalrous Vise Admiral so abruptly leave? And without saying even the smallest of goodbyes to his Queen?
With one last glance from the corner of her eye, a reflective Elsa suddenly sees the Dane's svelte figure, tall and gallant standing on the ship's top deck. Kommander Hans Westergaard was gallantly perched, his long-legged form with his naval telescope in hand, leaning against the bulwark railing of the ship that he served as courageous Captain.
Just as he turns away, with the emerging moonlight silhouetted behind him, Elsa was about to call out Hans' name. But her voice chokes in her throat when she realizes there was no one really there, just some faint reddish streaks of the Aurora Borealis hailing from the distant sky blinding her eyes. And Elsa's hopeful extended hand, gracefully reaching towards him, falls lifelessly cool to her side.
As the sea waves crash against the still hull of the deserted Gler where it was moored at the Lofoten wharf, Elsa sighs into this yet darkened August morn, well before dawn. Now that the Midnight Sun days had truly ended, in even this far North of their Kingdom, the first fall of a true dark night causes the beautiful blonde to close her eyes sadly, feeling that her summer of awakened enchantment was nearly over.
As Gale and Bruni, the Earth Giants and Nokk all patiently read the signs of nature and await their harmonious sovereign's return through the snowglobe she gazes into, devoid of emotion, the first leaves of Autumn begin to flutter in the Enchanted Forest.
As well as upon the rest of the exponentially quick, cooling down Land of the Midnight Sun which Queen Elsa's fluttering heart of confused sadness was so a part of...
But amid her confusion as to where and why and how Prince Hans had inexplicably vanished, was also a newfound determination to not let this new, exciting, and before implausible dream go.
And by now, after all she had seen and done and been blessed by God to regain her loved ones, her country, herself back, Ice Queen Elsa, more than anyone else, could believe in unattainable wishes coming true.
Hello, Frozen friends!
Welcome to Book 2 in our Trilogy saga of "Frozen Again' titled the next part of the inspirational Bible verse :
'But the Greatest of These is Love'!
Even if a baffled again Elsa may be sad for a time now, I have a feeling she'll grow happy again when she finds out that her new dream Prince did not abandon her without reason. So, the saga of a forgiving love's discovery continues in my sequel's sequel -"Frozen Again: But the Greatest of These is Love" – now starting to be revised and updated through the Spring months of April & May to fit in with the new movie!
Helsa, Kristanna, Eupunzel and now Agduna's further romance stories will keep going for much, much more drama, fun and adventures in love and new family to come in the second (then eventually third) book in our beloved Frozen Again series!
Thank you all for your generous kindness and unfailing support these past six years of scripting and now revising my 'Frozen' sequel novels! Your reviews and messages have always been so uplifting and inspired me to write more all this blessed time together! I like to know your still interested in this saga and part of our love story dream of Disney happy endings for all Princesses (Queensincluded! ^_^)
And I want to wish all of my Frozen friends out there the most blessed and Happy of Easters! It will still be glorious and joyous despite these tough times of social distancing and not normal gatherings at Church. We still, each in our hearts, can celebrate and give thanks to the Lord for His sacrifice over 2000 years ago that changed the world, and gave human hearts a blessed path to Eternity and Peace.
Perhaps we can use this quiet time spent in solitude not complaining nor feeling fear or worry, but to remember what's most important to our souls in deep reflection of the meaning of greater, selfless Love.
Let this be the year we celebrate not mere bunnies and chocolate eggs, (yummy as they may be:) but for the selfless, generous Love of our Savior Jesus Christ who died to offer each of us undeserving sinners Salvation's Redemption into God's holy, unending kingdom with His blood.
Just as Prince Hans has discovered through that blessed Redemption, a phenomenal, miraculous love in the forgiving, warm heart of his beautiful Ice Queen Elsa.
Happy Eastertide to all my Frozen friends as we, like Elsa, look with the Lord's courage and love to face tomorrow!
God bless you into this precious season of Easter and always as together we all unite in Love to make it through this difficult time where we can each turn to Jesus' presence and light and find Him always near to our hearts,
Love, HarukaKou :)
