Authors note: I am now just bringing you the conclusion of Frozen 2: Wedding in Arendelle which served as a continuation of my Frozen 2 fanfic. All in all you will now have the entirety of Frozen 2 to binge read at your disposal. Elsa and Elia's romance has come a long way and I am proud of their union and what it represents. Sadly Disney is still a long ways from such clear representation but it is my hope as well as many who read this that Elsa will have her coming out story eventually, for now, we celebrate the fact that Elsa is out, least in fanfic or fanart form. I mentioned a time skip and there will be one and before you ask about a possible sequel I am going to let this stand as its own ending while also leaving it open so stay tuned till the end. Doing a series of these can be time consuming and I do have other projects in the works so who is to say what my next project will be. I hope you have all enjoyed and even if the film has been out for a bit now I hope my Frozen 2 fanfics together stand as a testament to the journey of love and understanding.

CH.10: Love is a splendid thing

"Kristoff have you put Anya to bed yet?" Anna was walking around the room collecting up clothing and also reading a parchment regarding some trade deal. It had been a few years since the wedding and she and Kristoff had a beautiful baby girl together. Anya was the sweetest thing and she clearly took after her daddy.

She had been kept busy as Queen of Arendelle looking out for the future as it was left by her sister. She was drained half the time so it was often agreed that Kristoff would see to putting their daughter down for her night time. However sometimes the father of her child would often keep her up reiterating a story from the other night or telling a new story altogether.

Putting the clothes away she sets the parchment down knowing that what she doesn't finish tonight or fully comprehend there is always tomorrow. Anna had grown her hair out and right now it wasn't in its usual ponytail but a bit of a mess framing her features. Motherhood had taken its toll on her but she fought to get her weight down as most mothers did.

Arendelle was no longer such a scary place to be as people were accepting of one another. Anna had looked after making sure that there was acceptance here and that those who felt scared or threatened could speak freely and Anna would look to the problem and seek out a resolution that didn't involve too hazardous of circumstance.

"Kristoff?" Anna sighed as she went to check in on the room. However in doing so she found Kristoff bleeding and a knife held to his throat. Their little girl screaming and crying as someone held her.

"Queen Anna…long time no see." Anna took a bit to recognize the voice and dread realization hit her and she froze.

"Millie…so…that means you must be Darren?" She had recalled how their time locked up had went so well and that they appeared to be taking in the process of coming back to reality, but, no…this was not to be…because here they were causing trouble yet again.

"Right on the dot as ever Queen Anna. I was beginning to think we had to spell out our names, wait, that didn't come out right. Anyway you took a lot from us. I was set to rule here along with Millie and yet you took that from us…wait…I already said that-."

"He isn't the brightest of the Prince from Restingburg but he does hold a certain charm especially when making poisons. If you don't wish to see either of them harmed you will give up the throne and only when we know that things are official will you have your family back. Did you really think that things would end all hunky dory for you and your family? Did you really think that this story would have that happy end?"

Anna tensed wishing that she had something on hand but given Kristoff at knife and her daughter in the hands of a mad woman what choices did she have?

"It may take a bit to officially hand things over…given that I need official documents and it isn't like I keep those on hand." Anna heard the door open and she strained her hearing as she heard footsteps approaching.

"Oh, you mean these?" Durant apparently was there, another of the ones they had captured at the end of the war. He was quite smug standing there.

"Do not waste our time and get to signing before you are without family. A shame that your sister is not here as well for she put us through quite a lot; I mean really, trusting me to rule the kingdom only for it to be removed through force."

Anna met eyes with Kristoff and she can see that he had a welt on his forehead and while he had fought well it was no match for Darren who was the definition of a psychopath.

"Here they are Queen, so, go on and sign them and make it snappy." Durant clearly was not one for patience and no doubt he still held a candle to Julian. However Julian was currently rehabilitating for his crimes and from what she heard he appeared to be making use of his time and King Hans was ensuring that he be looked after case he relapse.

"Right…of course, just please do not harm my baby girl." Anna walked out of the room to where Durant stood and she saw how he had grown out a beard and his hair had gone away leaving him with a balding look. He was a bit leaner than before so he was likely not eating as much of his food and mentally disciplining himself.

"You just do what is right and then we'll talk about things," Darren calls after her. She let out a sigh wondering how it had come to this. She had thought they had done good by keeping them below and treating them fairly, but…in the end what had that cost them?

Anna had been constantly writing her sister keeping her updated on things happening in Arendelle and much the same her sister did update her on things happening in Torchiva. Elsa for her part had yet to marry Elia though the two had been together a few years now. The two had weathered through so much together and their bond reminded her of her bond with Kristoff.

It seemed like time slowed down at this point and as she went to write her name the candle was blown out. Anna heard Durant yell but that was when a figure slipped in and began to combat him. Whomever was fighting him they were quite skilled and she barely kept up with the movement but she saw the person wielding a blade of sorts that burned brightly and Durant was blinded as he went down hard.

Anna wanted to rush to her family but kept perfectly still in case this was all a ruse. In the next room Millie let out a scream and Darren for his part let out a groan. Anna's heart would not quit racing and finally as the candles were lit again she saw the cloaked figure remove her hood to reveal…no way-.

"Queen Elia?" She found her voice and the lithe woman wore a small smile as she walked over to her and gave her a hug.

"Sorry for the unexpected visit but word got out that something was going down. Turns out Hans had a long chat with Julian and turns out he had been getting letters out to Darren whom somehow managed to get out. It was all to happen tonight and I managed to get here and not a moment too soon."

Anna moved from the hug and went to the next room where she found Millie and Darren both encased in a bit of ice manacles. Standing over them was Elsa!

"Surprise, well, not so much now but hey did you grow your hair out?" Anna burst into tears throwing herself at her sister.

"Elsa! I can't believe it, I mean, you are here and yet…where have you been?" Anna wept and she enjoyed how Elsa stroked her hair.

"Sorry my visits have cut down over the years but so much has been happening over in Torchiva and kind of had my hands tied. However aside from coming to your family and your rescue there is something that needs doing. Elia will explain more but first tend to your family. In fact this might wait till tomorrow, so we'll take the guest chambers and see you tomorrow."

Anna nods her head as she tends to Kristoff and Anya. For the most part Anya is a bit fussy and tramatized while Kristoff would need a bit of mending too. She made sure to summon the guards as these three would need a longer stay in the dungeon.

Elsa sat at the table along with Elia while Anna and Kristoff sat on the other side. Elsa held onto Elia's hand knowing that this was her decision in the end but she would support it no matter what.

"Thank you for having us here in your Kingdom as well as listening to my request. I apologize for not having arrived sooner with your crisis and I hope that Anya and your husband are doing better today." Elia tells them and Elsa concurs with her eyes.

"Thank you for coming when you did Queen Elia…you too Elsa. As to your request I am quite curious what it could be after all this time." Elsa takes a breath and squeezes Elia's hand for comfort.

"As you are well aware I hold the power of the elements in my body which allows me to transfer it to weapons and armor alike. However it has been learned recently that the elements could be transferred to others but instead of being used for weapons and armor alike…they can be used similarly to the way that your sister Elsa uses it."

Elsa had been just as surprised as Anna was appearing at this moment. "Wait…are you telling me that-?"

"Yes Queen Anna…others can hold the power of the elements in their hands. However having discussed it with your sister I have come to the conclusion that only those trusted can be given such power. Those who take it up would be guardians of the elements and once transferred they cannot be given up…and should that person die…so too will that element."

Elsa studied her sister who appeared to taking it all in stride…noting when to ask questions and when to listen properly. It was a skill that a level headed Queen had to take time to practice without being rude or coming across as impatient. The facts were important first and foremost but also waiting till the speaker had concluded their thought.

"I see. And how do you wish to accomplish this exactly?" Anna asked the very question that she and Elia had discussed over the years and had managed to perfect the method…though it did come at a price.

Elia for her part remained calm and collected in how she handled this and it just made Elsa love her more. Some people would start breaking down or unleashing all the thoughts in one motion leaving the listener unable to grasp the method. "The elements will be extracted from me one at a time till only one is left inside of me…to draw all out or to withdraw them all at once…it would damage me or possibly-."

"Why take the risk then? Why must the elements leave you?" Kristoff leaned forward hoping that his voice didn't carry too much and wake up Anya.

"In the past I had been used by both Torchiva and Restingburg to use my powers to help out with weapons and armor alike. If I were to be captured and put through that again…I could wind up hurting people and If I could somehow prevent that…we'd be all the better. Since I was young I have had such abilities, but, no longer…this is why I am doing it. It is also why I wish for you Kristoff and Anna to be the bearers of the fire element and the air or wind element depending on how that goes."

"So…you mentioned we'd be able to use these elements as Elsa has all these years…but aren't heir drawbacks?" Anna queried.

Elsa let out a sigh remembering her outbursts and how she lost control. Elia squeezed her hand and she managed to compose herself. "There is that possibility, yes, given that we are removing the elements from the host's body they may appear unstable at first before the transition…and even then…each body is different so there may or may not be some…changes-."

"What sort of changes are we talking here?" Kristoff appeared anxious and Elsa did not blame him. They were parents now so the thought of anything happening to one of them was quite a conversation to be had.

Elsa goes to stand up and Elia lets go of her hand. She walks over to the window and looks down some. "I really can't say for certain. You may react differently, your temperament might be tweaked or in terms of appearance your physical features might be altered depending on the element you take into your body. Consider if you will it is like carrying something very alive inside you…depending on you for survival and in turn it allows you to draw on the element whenever you see fit."

"Hmm, I kind of already went through that with Anya," Anna jokes. The group laughs a little and Anna turns serious. "What of the other elements?"

"I have other candidates in mind for the remaining ones, however at this time I cannot disclose their identities. There is one element or rather one such ability of mine that will not be passed on…but…for the time being will remain hidden away. It is an ability so deep and dark that should anyone ever get their hands on it…everyone would be in danger."

Elsa knew of this but she could read the worry on her sister and brother in law's faces. "Rest assured when it is extracted the only ones who will know of the location is myself or Elia. Also very few even know of its existence at all given it doesn't even correlate to the other elements. Shall we begin?"

Elia had chosen Kristoff's old home as the location for if it had happened in the castle it might draw curious eyes. Out here in the rugged land as it were few would even chance coming out here. Elia lay on a table staring up at the ceiling as several tubes of sorts went into her body and for Anna and Kristoff they too would be strapped down to accept the element into their body. The remaining elements would be deposited into a vase of sorts to either be transferred to the individual or hidden away.

"You sure about this babe?" Elia squeezes Elsa's hand knowing that she was worried for her. The extraction of elements born into her body at such a young age it was likely they'd resist coming out of her.

"I am and don't worry…it shouldn't last too long so there won't be any residual damage or effects…least I hope not. Forgive my rambling…even after all these years I knew this day would come but I still draw a nervous breath as the hour chances upon us."

Elia saw Elsa lean down and her face was inches from hers. Oh how she wished she could stroke her cheek. "Elia…if you said you were perfectly fine I would not believe you. It is ok to be nervous, and, I won't be leaving your side the entire time."

Anna and Kristoff showed up then as they held hands and looked to the two of them. "Anya is being looked after by Olaf and Sven…and of course any guard who could be pulled away from guard duty for a bit. How are you doing Elia?"

"I am dealing…more or less. Thank you two for taking this risk with me, I mean, not to say there will be a risk but you can never be sure about these things. You two are both healthy and pure of heart so the elements will be sure to fit nicely inside of you."

"Well…hopefully it doesn't take too long because I promised Anya I would help her build a snowman," Kristoff said with a smirk.

"Trust me…when this is done you both will help Anya build a snowman. Now, let us proceed with you two lying on those two tables. Elsa if you would monitor the device as the extraction of the elements takes place."

Elsa went to lean down kissing her lips and she smiles into the kiss before Elsa moves off. Lying there she closes her eyes and the device begins to emit a few beeps before Elia arches her back as her eyes shoot open quite wide. Her muscles strain, her veins stand out…it felt like the life she was clinging to was trying to escape her body.

Her screams were all she could hear and the first element to escape her was the fire element. It would be entrusted to Anna who once it went down her throat she began to choke. Her hair lit up with flames and her body thrashed about. Elia found a single tear leave her eyes and she wanted to comfort Anna but at this point it was a waiting game to see if the element would settle into her peacefully or reject her.

"Pull it together Anna…do not fight it!" Elia knew that was Elsa's voice. However Elsa could do little and if she did pull the plug on this it would mean damaging all of them.

Elia felt another pain and soon the air element was emerging from her mouth and floating through the connection she had to Kristoff before he too began to push up against his restraints.

"That is the last one…but it doesn't seem like either are taking the elements," Elsa's observation was correct, however, Elia could just lie there now…her body calm but somehow extracting the elements from her had left her drained and hard to say how much internal damage she might have suffered.

Elia however felt exhaustion set in and she could no longer keep her eyes open. In those fleeting moments her body just gave up…

Elia's log entry

Peace between the kingdoms had been achieved and it was Elia's call to separate the elements from her body thus spreading them out to worthy candidates who would look after them and ensure they never be used for the wrong purposes again. Anna and Kristoff of Arendelle would look after the elements of the flame and the air while the water element would be seen to Olaf. The lightning element would be looked after by none other than Hans himself. I went ahead and gave Elsa the ice element to which it increased her powers as she would be the one to lead us all.

I went ahead and took on the element of earth, which of course left one of the more secretive and destructive of the elements…one that could snuff out the light of all we know and hold dear. Truth be told it was the first one I ever used…but…I had no proper control of it, no sense of just how destructive it was. I withheld from using it, and, not even my parents knew that I had this lying within me. I have hidden it though so it will never see the light of day. I have survived the ordeal of releasing the elements but in doing so my body has taken longer to recover…but…that is fine as in the foreseeable future I do not see any need for us to resort to using our elements.

Anna and Kristoff look to their daughter and her future and Hans happens to be a neighbor of ours in Torchiva so he is often inviting us to his kingdom or vise versa. He is a good man and while my opinion of males isn't much…he has brought the kingdoms closer even though his family is whom I am concerned about most. As I end this my thoughts go to what will become of the element I have hidden…for if it should ever be claimed, chaos would claim the world we hold so dear.

On a side note Millie, Darren, and Durant each are serving time for their actions. Julian himself is coming around and is allowed moments of walking around on his own, but, even so parts of me worry he might slip up…but…that is a matter for another day. Elsa is calling me to bed so I wish to end this on a positive note…I plan on asking Elsa to be my bride to be so fingers crossed that she says yes…

Epilogue

Julian was walking along the corridor of the castle as he was allowed certain privileged access to parts that were deemed safe. Honestly their concern was touching. King Hans believed that he should look to having activities or a purpose so he had allowed him to sit in on some council meetings or even tending to the weapons in the hope that by being near them he'd be tempted but also not tempted to take them.

Julian felt he was changing, but, for the better remained to be seen. His role as Prince had not been taken from him but it was quite clear he would not be issuing any orders or doing what he did prior to his capture. Honestly Elia was too difficult a woman now to even consider marrying a third time, plus…she was with that snow witch or ice witch so he didn't wish to cross her again.

Stopping suddenly he tenses as if…something was calling to him. No, that was preposterous and besides he was the only one here. He held his head as his knees buckled and a chill swept through him and no matter how hard he tried to cover his ears the whistling or whispers were picking up and his eyes were starting to glaze over.

"Get…out of…my head!" He looked around for the source and found a locked door. Julian knew there was no way of getting in and yet the door unlocked and swung open revealing a set of stair case leading downwards.

Julian knew he shouldn't…but half out of curiosity he decided to descend down taking each step with an air of trepidation. All he could hear was his breathing and the whispering kept getting louder and as he hit the bottom step the voices stopped. Walking into the room he saw what appeared to be an orb of sorts…dark and shimmering and beckoning to him from across the room.

"What do you want?" Julian heard the door he had left shut and the room was thrown into darkness. He knew where the orb lay and as he walked over to it his hand hesitated before him…not even realizing he was doing it.

All it took was one touch…and his loud scream filled the room as it felt like he was being torn in two, his body shuddered and he fell to the ground…not moving, but, something inside of him was changing…and not for the better…

THE END?

Authors note: How many thought this was the end? Well, yes this is the end of Frozen 2 overall but one can't shut the door on the future. I wrote Frozen 2 and Frozen 2: Wedding in Arendelle to be a duo of sorts set in the universe that was Frozen but nothing like Frozen II. I saw this ending going many ways but in the end I decided to set up what would be Frozen 3: War of the elements coming 2020. Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, Sven, Elia, Hans, they are all coming back in the next chapter and a darkness is coming…will they be ready…will you be tuning in? Thank you to all who have joined me on this adventure from the first story…to this one…hold onto the name for now for the next one as we leave Frozen 2 and look to the future.
