I do not own any of the these characters at all! Obviously!

Ch.1

Anna walked along the pier looking at all the ships and the merchandise they offered. She sighed for once she wasn't in the mood for shopping, her sister was under a lot of stress and she knew it.

~flashback~

Anna skipped into her sister's office where she was hunched over the pile of papers, "Let's go shopping Elsa! You've been locked up in here all week!"

She looked up from her work and sighed, "I can't today Anna I have way to much to do."

"Oh come on you can't have that much work! No one can!"

"I have to finish sending out invitations to our potential allies Corona and DunBroch. Finish the arrangements for the spring festival. Go over EVERYTHING for the play you insisted on us performing." It had began to lightly snow in the room showing the stress her sister was under, "And on top of all of that I still want to find another ally and trade partner! We honestly need one after losing weselton and the southern isles! But it's not like kingdoms who have experienced magic are everywhere! Most kingdoms are scared of me or want to use me!" She now had her head in her hands.

Anna quickly walked up behind Elsa giving her a hug, "That's was the point of the play to try and explain your side of things... I'm sorry I didn't mean to add more stress. And I'm sorry for bugging you."

Elsa sighed and looked up turning around and looking at her sister, "You are never bugging me! I'm sorry I'm just really stressed but I should never take it out on you." She brushed the snow off of her sister's shoulder, "Go into town have fun."

So here she was wandering around but not really having fun. She was walking past one of the smaller ships when she heard someone call out to her, "You look troubled miss."

She turned to the plain wooden ship where a man was standing near a table. He was tall probably 6'5! He had long black hair and a long beard streaked with grey. He had simple green trousers on with a white shirt and a brown fur vest. He looked rugged and intimidating but when she looked in his brown eyes all she saw was true concern.

"Just worrying I guess." Taking a look at his ship she realized how different it was from the others it looked almost flatter than the others and had what looked like a snake or lizard on the front where most had a person. On top of that she realized he called her miss instead of princess, meaning he probably wasn't from around here.

"Worrying does no one any good, miss. Life will work out in the end."

She smiled at him and nodded her head curious in the ship and the goods it carried, "So where are you from?"

"Far away miss." He replied vaguely but as she looked at the strange objects she did realize he was telling the truth. 'Very far indeed.' She thought. She stopped staring at a drawing of a beast. It was a huge red lizard with wings and terrifyingly long claws. The man was leaning against a pole arms crossed, "Ah, the monstrous nightmare caught your eye did it? Those buggers have a nasty habit of setting themselves on fire."

Anna whipped around looking at the man eyes wide, "This thing is real!"

The man began to panic he didn't expect her to believe him. No one ever believed him. No one believed in dragons. He took a deep breath calming down, the girl was no one. All of a sudden a guard ran up, "Princess Anna it's time for rehearsal." He looked between the giant man and his princess, "Is everything alright here?"

"Yes, we were just talking I will be back at the castle soon." He waited there. "I would like to finish shopping alone please." She said and the guard reluctantly walked away but stayed close enough where he could see his princess.

"P-princess!" The man stuttered. Oh no this could be bad!

She smiled at him, "Yes princess Anna of Arendelle." She gave him a quick curtsy like she had been taught, "And you are?"

He bowed to her like he had seen in his travels, "Johan the venturer." He replied.

"Where are you from Johan?" He looked panicked again, "Had you heard anything about Arendelle before coming here?" She asked. And he shook his head no, "You see Arendelle's queen, my sister had a huge secret come out, like huge. And everyone was a little scared of her because it was just different than other people but it all worked out!" Johan looked utterly confused, "You see my sister was born with magic she is able to control ice and snow. It was a big shock even for me. But it was too much of a shock for some people and we had to cut ties with some of our trade partners which leaves us at a need for some allies." She said honestly looking at the man with hope clinging to the drawing.

He understood now why she was able to even consider the possibility of dragons because she already had seen the impossible. And he understood the hope, she was hoping to find a kingdom who would be able to accept her sister's magic, "I come from Berserker Island in the Archipelago Islands far north... Viking territory. We have been separated from the rest of the world due to the dragons but since we have gained an alliance and friendship with them it has given us the freedom to explore further. We may be looking for an ally as well someone who is able to accept the friendship and loyalty of the dragons. Someone who wouldn't try to kill them or use them. Someone who could help further our culture." Hiccup had sent him to learn as much as possible of the world to further our own. I suppose this wasn't too much of a stretch.

Her eyes lit up with hope as she asked to borrow a pen and paper from the man as she quickly wrote a letter and folded it and handed it to Johan, "Please give this to your leader, and I would like to buy your drawing."

Johan took the letter and tucked it into his vest pocket, "It is a long way to Berk and the hooligan tribe, princess and the dragon is yours." He said with a smile.

She thanked him and started to walk away but stopped and turned to him, "I am trusting you."

He nodded his head slightly, "As am I."

She waved as she said, "I hope to see you around again Johan the venturer." She walked off to where the guard had been waiting for her.

Elsa was of course waiting on Anna. But she didn't mind it finally gave her a chance to relax as the warm breeze blew against her face. Her hand absentmindedly ran through the water of the fountain she was sitting on. Her moment of silence was short lived as Anna came running up, "Elsa I have the most amazing news!"

She smiled at her sister, "And what is that?"

"So I was out by the pier and I started talking to this guy. And the guy was huge and I mean HUGE! And he looked super rough but he was super nice. And he had this really weird ship."

Elsa rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Anna!"

"Oh right he gave me-" she paused grabbing her acquired item looking like she was going to burst at any moment from excitement, "THIS!"

She gave the drawing to Elsa who looked it over skeptically, "A drawing of a dragon?..."

"Yes!" She said at her excitedly though her sister wasn't nearly as enthused as she should have been. "It's real! Well the drawing isn't real of course! But the dragon in the drawing is real!"

Elsa waved her hands in front of her, "Woah, woah, woah back up dragons aren't real they're a myth everyone knows that."

"Oh really cause I don't! I think we just found ourselves another magical kingdom!"

"And where is this magical kingdom?"

"Um far north? The archipelago islands far north. He said it was Viking territory... Though I don't exactly know what a Viking is..."

Elsa's eyes widened,"Anna!? Vikings!? One everyone thought they were long dead! And two, they were known for pillaging and destroying they were huge monstrous men! Terrifying men and now you're saying if they do exist and if dragons do exist they're somehow together?"

"W-well he said that because of the dragons they had been cut off from the world and couldn't leave very easily, but now they're friends so it opened new opportunities." She was beginning to realize maybe this wasn't such a good thing, but she had trusted Johan, "You're right as I said he was a huge man, rather intimidating at first glance. But when I looked again I saw a person with kind eyes. And he looked panicked when he realized I believed in the dragon. I have a feeling they're not so different than us."

Elsa began to panic shut off from the world for that long! Never moving forward never communicating with the outside world they were probably exactly the same from all those years ago! "We can't have an alliance with these barbarians! They'd probably tear us apart limb from limb before becoming our friend."

"But-"

"No Anna it's too dangerous!"

Anna crossed her arms, "You're asking everyone to come here and accept you yet you won't even give someone a chance because of a story?"

"It's not a story Anna it's history. And we aren't discussing this." She tried to say confidentiality but Anna could tell the comment made her falter.

"You're right we're not discussing this I already sent a letter with the trader and he is headed to his leader as we speak." She didn't know if he had left yet but she hoped he had. The look of shock and fury on Elsa's face made her wish she had kept her mouth shut.
