Kai liked to think of himself as observant, but he was beating himself over that he somehow missed the glaring obviousness of the ice on Cielle’s shoulder. What seemed to be eating him up as they sat around the campfire was he missed it while Kristoff had seen it right away. Kai didn’t sulk for long, however, because while he found himself warming up from the fire that she had set aflame with a thunder spell, he took notice to how the ice on her shoulder wasn’t melting. His first thought was how it might’ve been a thick variety of ice, so maybe it took longer to melt. This soon was proven to be the wrong theory to get behind as three minutes passed and the ice remained.
“Seems like it’s a stubborn piece of ice,” Kai commented as he found himself both curious and overtaken by slight worry for Cielle. “Maybe setting it on fire while standing next to the campfire could cure it?”
“I’m not so sure that would be a good idea, Kai,” Anna interjected, voicing her concerns with Kai’s idea.
“If one fire doesn’t do anything - not even melting it -then I’m pretty sure another wouldn’t help,” Kristoff added to what Anna said, the two exchanging a smile, though they quickly turned their gaze back to Kai.
“We won’t know until--” As Kai was about to say something, he found himself alerted by a cry of sorts off in the distance. “Did you guys hear that?” He couldn’t quite make it out, but something in him told the boy to turn his attention to where the castle towered over the surrounding trees. “I think it’s coming from Arendale. I think Arendale is in trouble..” Kai didn’t know why he said that, but something tugged at him. Maybe it was the cold.. “We have to go back to the castle.” Kai’s gut instincts had the tendency to be right.
Kai didn't seem to wait for the others to agree or disagree. He was running towards the castle he saw in the distance, his keyblade summoned. Whatever this was he felt, he knew haste was his friend.
Whether it was the land that Arendelle reigned over or the waters that border it from the surrounding countries, all began to frost past the point of return. The castle was on the verge of cracking from the pressure of the strong winds and snowfall that threatened its foundation.
The people of Arendelle weren’t in good shape either. Since leaving, both Anna and Elsa left it without a proper ruler, so they began to worry and fear they wouldn’t be without leaders. Those who would assume control tried their best to keep everyone calm and even invited them into the castle so they could warm up, but not everybody fit into the castle. And those that did soon consumed most of the food. The storm was worse than they thought and at some point, the denial phase passed and acceptance that death was imminent was upon them.
...They just didn’t know what form it would take. Unfortunately for them, the situation went from bad to worse as creatures from the sea and from the ground rose up from portals of blackness, a sole figure wearing a black cloak standing behind them as these winter-themed creatures went forth to cause mayhem and misery. These creatures had forms that ranged from flying icicles to little, black shadows wearing parkas and scarfs.
“Go forth, my heartless! Gather the hearts,” said the CLoaked Figure, watching and observing the dismantling of Arendelle’s citizens.
