Elsa
A gasp broke through Elsa's lips as she floated on the still water, her clothes soaked, her heart pounding.
She coughed and blinked against the morning light glinting off the water's surface. Her limbs trembled from exhaustion, but the chill no longer bit into her skin like it had in Ahtohallan. Instead, she felt… safe. Cradled.
She turned her head and saw it—the Nokk, the spirit of water, standing watch at the lake's edge. Its glowing blue eyes held hers. Not threatening. Curious. Almost… proud.
"I'm alive," Elsa whispered, her voice hoarse and raw.
A memory pulsed through her chest, a song faintly echoing in the wind—the voice. She had followed it, and it had nearly destroyed her. But now she understood: it was a call not of temptation but of truth.
"I saw her," she murmured, slowly rising. "Our mother. She was the voice…"
She steadied herself with a deep breath, her magic crackling faintly as droplets of water shimmered into snowflakes around her. Her connection to Ahtohallan—the river of memory—had not severed. In fact, it felt clearer than ever.
The dam… the truth behind Arendelle's history. The betrayal.
But something was wrong.
As she turned toward the direction where Anna and Ethan should have been, a sudden pulse of dread hit her like a tidal wave.
Her breath hitched.
"Anna…"
She didn't know why, but her gut twisted in a knot. Something was happening. Something bad.
She climbed atop the Nokk's back, whispering, "Take me to them."
With a splash and a surge of energy, the water spirit galloped over the river's surface, heading for the dam and the truth that awaited.
Anna & Ethan
The wind howled through the valley, lashing at Anna's cloak as she and Ethan stood before the dam. Kristoff and Olaf had gone to gather rope and supplies, but Anna couldn't wait. She stared up at the massive structure, centuries-old and now vibrating with unease.
Ethan stood beside her, his hands tucked into his jacket, eyes narrowed.
"I don't like this," he muttered. "There's… something wrong."
Anna nodded. "We have to destroy it. Elsa found the truth. The dam was never a gift. It was a lie—meant to weaken the forest spirits."
Ethan tilted his head slightly. "Then why does it feel like the forest itself is resisting?"
Anna turned toward him. "What do you mean?"
He pointed at the trees. They stood unnaturally still, despite the wind. The animals had vanished. Even the river near the dam had gone silent.
"The air's too heavy," Ethan said. "Like it's holding its breath."
Anna looked up at the dam. "Do you think… the spirits are stopping us?"
"I think something else is," Ethan replied. "Something darker."
A low rumble rolled through the earth beneath them.
Anna stumbled slightly, grabbing Ethan's arm for balance. "An earthquake?"
"No," Ethan whispered, eyes scanning the treeline. "Something's moving… underneath us."
Suddenly, the ground split open in a jagged line, and a thick, black mist oozed from the crack—inky, pulsing, and alive.
Ethan pushed Anna behind him instinctively. "Get back!"
The mist formed a shape—humanoid, barely visible except for two glowing eyes like coals in darkness. It spoke no words, but its presence screamed of anger, hatred, and something ancient.
Anna felt the chill in her bones—not from the cold, but from recognition. This wasn't a spirit. It was a curse, bound to the dam like a chain to a prisoner.
"It's a guardian," Ethan said quietly, his eyes narrowed. "Not of protection—but of punishment."
The creature lunged.
Ethan reacted instantly, drawing from the magic he had learned over their journey. His palms flared with light—a warm golden glow. It wasn't elemental, but something different—energy born of will.
He shielded Anna, clashing with the creature midair. The force of the impact sent a gust in all directions.
Anna watched in horror as Ethan grunted, throwing the creature back—but not defeating it.
"Why is it attacking?" she shouted.
Ethan landed beside her, breathing heavily. "It's bound to the dam. It's not protecting the land. It's ensuring the betrayal stays hidden."
Anna clenched her fists. "Then we need to destroy it."
Ethan met her eyes. "You know what will happen if we do."
Anna looked toward Arendelle. Her home. Her people.
"We'll save them," she said. "But not by hiding the truth."
The creature lunged again, but this time, Ethan caught it mid-leap, and light erupted around them both. The entity screamed—not in pain, but rage—as if sensing it was losing control.
Suddenly, a memory burst into Anna's mind—an image of her father, much younger, holding a sword with blood on his hands.
She gasped.
"It's feeding off the lie," she whispered. "The violence. The injustice."
Ethan gritted his teeth. "We don't just need to destroy the dam… We need to cleanse this place of its past."
"How?" she cried.
The entity turned again—but froze.
A warmth spread across the valley.
Both Anna and Ethan looked up.
Snow was falling—but not cold. It was soft. Gentle. A whisper of Elsa's magic.
"She's coming," Anna said, tears in her eyes.
The entity shrieked and dissolved back into the crack in the earth, retreating for now.
But the tremors hadn't stopped.
"I think we're running out of time," Ethan said, his breath visible in the cooling air.
Anna turned to him. Her fingers brushed against his hand. "You saved me… again."
He gave a lopsided smile. "That's what I do."
They stood there a moment, silent, both shaken and breathing hard.
Anna squeezed his hand. "We'll do it. Together. Just like always."
As they turned toward the dam again, determined and united, the forest whispered once more.
And from far away, atop the charging Nokk, Elsa heard the call.
The past was not done with them yet.
