Elsa,

Feel lucky for what you have, when you have it. Happily ever after doesn’t mean happy forever.

All Elsa wanted to do at the moment was curl up in a ball and forget life existed. Of course, she had reached the peak of her emotional rollercoaster, and was now on a rapid downward spiral. She was screaming, begging to get off but she had to make it to the end. Her eyes watched the ocean below, the roaring of distant waves crashing against the sheer cliff face. Edgar was on the ground next to her, curled up and trying to sleep. He was dealing awfully well with all this drama, more than likely his past dealings hardened him to the world.

She flicked her tail in annoyance, taking off into an angry, stomping walk around the edge of the glass. It’s cracked façade only seemed to taunt her, telling her that even though it was broken, it still remained beautiful. Was Elsa still beautiful? Hardly. Her own child was not happy to see her. Elsa had expected a similar reaction from her. She was going to declare how much she had missed her mom and follow her back to the Edge. Yet, that was not the case. She left feeling cold and alone, more than she had ever before. She thought losing Oxy and the twins were hard; yet she never realized that having them present and hating her was much worse a fate.

Edgar awoke, hopping up to follow behind his bonded. He kept his thoughts quiet on purpose recently. She needed to deal with this herself, and Edgar knew he was far too young and naïve to give advice. Heck, he may be a little biased considering both of them looked at him almost like he was a snack. He was totally not bitter about that at all, Shida. But it seemed she’d have to face another nightmare, as Edgar caught wind of a voice. At first he froze, trying to seal his mind away from Elsa, and of course, she noticed. He could feel her prodding harshly into his brain, and finally he gave up. Auriel here. he murmured.

Elsa was once again wrapped in ice. She didn’t want to move, but at the same time she did. She wanted to run to her, crying and raise her like she should have. Unfortunately, the chances of that happening did not look to great. There was no way Auriel knew she was here, and frankly, Elsa would expect her to find her sister first. Shida tattle Edgar huffed. He loved Shida, but at the same time wanted to whack her over the head with his wings.

Finally, her tentative steps moved towards the voice. Little by little the sandy figure rose, until Elsa was only a few meters from her. Silent stood like a reaper, stealing her voice and leaving her unable to speak. What was she supposed to say? Confessing her love and apologizing to Shida had gotten her nowhere, and she expected a similar reaction from Auriel. ”Hi darling.” She said timidly, taking another step forward. ”I’m so, so sorry.” Shaking her head, she halted staring at the amber child. This time, she would come to her if she wanted to reconcile. Elsa couldn’t force others to love her any longer, all it did was tear both sides apart.
