For now enjoy this new sneak peek of the sequel and the next sneak peek I will put up tomorrow. :)

Another Sneak peek:

The sky was getting dark, how did she got there Elsa did not know. Frankly nothing made sense since she started on her rather strange misadventure.

It got even more confusing when she started the labyrinth as only once she crossed it during the day. The rest of the times it has been at night when she was asleep.

Which brought the question on whether she was dreaming or not.

"Your not dreaming Elsa" she heard Specter say as he appeared before her, every time he shows up like that Elsa always jumped.

Specter looked like a ghoul, that she knew with his thin frame, sharp bony features, gray skin, though his face was of a handsome man it was one of a person who had long since died. His eyes were as dark as his long hair which reached a bit bellow his shoulders, limp it was as it showed no signs of it moving.

"How do I know that? Nothing makes sense, how am I even crossing the labyrinth" said Elsa

"Everything has a reason, think of the labyrinth as a royal trial" said specter.

"Royal trial?" Asked Elsa curious as she held her oil lamp,

"Oh right, I forgot, those trials were abolished ages ago" said specter.

"Can you tell me about them?" asked Elsa curious,

"No harm in that" said specter then breathed looking as if an old person reflecting on the past and said "It was many years ago, too many to count, the magical and the humans co-existed with one another during those days, the magical ruling the forest, mountains and sea while the humans ruling towns, villages and cities, as time went by both magical and humans began to grow worried over the rules, how would they preserve the rule? How would they be able to weed out all the unworthy ones and place the worthy on the throne? So to solve that the royal trials were invented",

"How were they? How did they worked?" asked Elsa growing interested,

"They were different for everybody, but the goal was the same, each trial was gathered to all the strengths and weaknesses of the potentials heirs" explained specter "When the time came for the trials regardless of age and gender the trials had to happen to keep the rules strong and the worlds safe, of the oldest child died then the trials would be given to the younger sibling and if that one failed which it mean it would die then it would go down that line till a worthy one was found by passing the test, there was an ancestor of yours who was the cousin of the supposed heir who became ruler because the supposed heir and siblings all failed the test",

"Was it effective?" asked Elsa,

"It was more than effective for all the greatest rulers that ever existed went through those trials and passed" said Specter making Elsa stare in awe, to think that there were trials made to pick rulers and not just any rulers, but the greatest was something amazing as it could easily avoid possible tyrants and abuse of power.

But then Elsa frowned and asked "If it's like that then why was it abolished?",

"People complained about it, it's too cruel one would say, it's too hard would say the other, so the humans broke from the magical world and stopped doing the trials as they refused to understand the necessity for the trials despite how horrible they may be at times" said Specter.

Stopping Elsa though then her eyes opened as she realized something then asked "Is that why the monarchy slowly disappearing from the world?",

"Yes my dear" answered Specter.

That made Elsas blood run cold for a moment as she remembered history, the monarchy was disappearing, the north of French lost their rulers as they decided to go free, the south was loosing control of their kingdom as their people demand independence, the Russian empire was also loosing its grip of power and her...too many times had she heard the council talking about deposing her behind her back and the southern isles, the last time Richard and Hans brothers visited they spoke fearfully about them being executed as the people were rejecting their rule.

Was that her fate?

"Oh my god" said Elsa,

"Scary? Fret not as there are worse things that that, I can assure you" said specter.

"Is there any way to bring them back?" asked Elsa,

"Yes...like I said the trials were abolished by humans, but that does not mean we of the magical realm can't choose people who we deem worthy to take them" said specter "Hans took the trials in both this and in your timeline",

"He did?" asked Elsa,

"Yes, unknowingly when he first met the Phoenix the Phoenix decided to enact the trial on him, to test him if he was worthy of the gift he was probably going to receive" said the specter,

"But you said the trials started at the oldest" said Elsa,

"That is not always the case when a magical creature decides to enact the trial, for when they do they are given to those deemed worthy, the Phoenix had already seen his brothers so he deemed Hans as the most worthy one to receive the trial" said Specter,

"So...by passing the trial..." began Elsa,

"It not only made him the phoenix, but the rightful ruler of the Southern isles, just like his grandfather before him" said Specter then he looked around and said "better get going...there is still a lot more to do",

"Wait...what if I need you?" asked Elsa,

"I am sorry, but your going to have to do this on your own...the only advice I can give you is this...there is always more than one solution to a problem, but be careful while your choosing, cause the choice you make might not always be the right one" said Specter before vanishing.
