Agrabah - The Royal Palace - Night-Time

---------------------------------------------

After his little conversation with Jasmine, Ace was invited to dinner by the Sultan where he made sure to praise him every two seconds making Jasmine feel embarrassed 'Father, we get it, you want him to feel welcomed, okay, we are gone past that stage.' She rolled her eyes in annoyance. He still has not realized that Ace is not like the nobles that like to get their asses kissed by people to boost their ego. Ace sat through all of the praise with a polite smile, but in fact, he wasn't even paying attention.

After dinner, Ace spent some time with Jasmine in the palace blue gardens illuminated by the full moon. From time to time, he would try to sneak a question about her motive to help him be a noble. But this time, Jasmine didn't fall for it. That was a one time mistake and it would never happen again. Though it wasn't like Ace didn't have an idea of what she was aiming for, and to be honest, it wasn't a bad idea. If it came to that, he would be more than happy to go with it. Finally, he decided to change the subject.

"You look healthier than the last time I saw you." Ace remarked, Jasmine's complexion is getting more healthy, her pale skin was slowly fading and replaced by a healthy light take complexion and with her black night eyes and raven hair, together with her early red lips, it made her beauty look enchanting.

Jasmine smiled in happiness as she took her hair to play with "Oh! you think?! Lately, I have been taking strolls in the gardens in the afternoons just like you said after your win in the desert battle. My father didn't stop me this time, though, there were 30 guards surrounding me each time." Jasmine played with her in shines. Ace's remark came out of the Blue.

"Good, you look more beautiful now than ever!" Ace brushed a strand of her hair so he can see her black eyes more clearly. Jasmine was surprised at his close hands.

She then chuckled lightly "Stop it! you're embarrassing me." Embarrassing? yes, but it wasn't a bad feeling.

"Am I now? I am only stating facts." Ace smiled as he got closer. And from behind them, a whistle resounded then followed by "Well played!"

Jasmine and Ace looked back but found no one. Jasmine was confused "Eh? I just heard some here." She said. Ace frowned and shook his head, there was only one person he could think of 'Blue...' he thought.

Ace flashed in a sparkle of lightning and appeared behind a pillar in the open hallway of the palace. He looked down to see Blue and Dalia peeking at them from behind the pillar "You like what you see?" he asked.

"WHOA!!" Both Dalia and Blue squealed, Genie jumped in Dalia's arm scared. "Hey man!! that was not cool!" Genie shouted.

Ace chuckled "I better see you out of here before I count to ten." He said with a gentle smile.

"What?" Dalia tilted her head in confusion.

"Oh shit!" Genie jumped off and picked Dalia up and ran away as soon as he saw Ace's palm shining with lightning.

Jasmine noticed Ace's absence and started looking around "Ace?" she called.

"Here." Ace waved at her from behind the pillar.

"When did you go there." Jasmine ran to him, she was scared from the sudden voice earlier that she couldn't find the source of. "Don't leave me like that." She said as she stuck herself beside Ace. Ace just smiled and ruffled her hair "Alright." he said.

Arendelle - The Royal Palace - Dawn - Elsa's room

-------------------------------------------------------

Inside an ice-filled room, cold, crystal and sharp blades of ice surrounded the room threatening to cut whoever comes near. In the middle of the room, on her bed, a very beautiful girl with white hair and crystal blue eyes was trembling with fear. Nobody was around, she was alone, scared, lonely, and sad.

'Mother...Father!' She called in her mind, just in this small room, it felt like she was inside a raging Ice storm, howling wind screamed in her ears as she tried to cover them but with no success as the sound did not come from outside but rather...from within.

'I hate it in here!" Elsa grabbed her head and looked at her face in the crystal ice wall, she didn't look good. Her eyes had black circles under them from the lack of sleep.

"The Voices..." She mumbled as she started swaying back and forth "...They are getting louder." Tears fell on her cheeks with sadness breaking her heart and mind "I am alone!" She said as the snow started falling in her room again.

Ice blades started forming on her ceiling sharper than any knight blade. Elsa's eyes started trembling, she stuck her nails in her shoulders and bites on her lower lip "No...No...No" She mumbled with her little voice breaking.

The whispers in her head started getting stronger and stronger "No...Please don't...DON'T!!" Following her scream, her room exploded with sharp ice destroying everything around her, everything but her. The explosion made the earth tremble, and the palace's sturdy walls crack from the shock.

The King and Queen felt this and immediately realized what happened, they let whatever was on their hands and ran toward their daughter.

Once Queen Iduna looked at her daughter in the middle of the ice room, collapsed, unconscious, her heart dropped colder than ice "ELSA!!" She shouted and ran to her daughter to hold her in her warm arms. King Agnarr looked at the room and clenched his fist.

"This is worst than the last time...It is getting stronger...at this rate..." He feared his own thoughts, although he was no magician, he studied about them as a price. His eyes trembled at the pitiful sight of his daughter.

"We need to take her to the elder troll..." The Queen said with a hoarse voice.

"Yes...We need an answer for this, we can't keep locking her up like this, she will end up killing herself. The Nomrood Academy has refused my request, we are out of options." King Agnarr spoke, "Give her to me." He said after he walked to his daughter and wife. He took her in his arms and walked out. On their way, they met servants and Knights with weapons.

"My king, are you alright?" The commander of knights asked.

"Yes. Go back, I told you to never step in this building ever!" The King spoke with Anger at his soldiers, he knows they meant good, but he was in the mood to feel for them.

The servants and Knights retreated while the rulers of the kingdom left for their carriage and headed to the forest.

Elsa this time couldn't control her magic for more than a month, it is getting shorter and shorter. Not only this, the King and Queen felt terrible, but they are also losing both fights, the fight for their eldest daughter's magic, and the fight for their youngest daughter's curse.

Just what did this family do to deserve all of this?! Agnarr thought.
