"Attention! Attention, please!" Hiccup tries to shout over the noise of everyone talking, but fails. He sighs.

"Toothless?" Toothless grunts and shoots a plasma blast at the center of the ceiling. Everyone instantly silences, and Hiccup rises up to speak.

"I have called you here today to ask for your assistance. Many years ago, before our island had dragons, we were great allies. Together, we fought anyone that dared to oppose us. Except one kingdom. The kingdom of Arendelle repeatedly slipped through the fingers of our Western Alliance. To honor my father, I wish to finally capture Arendelle. Of all of those present, is anyone here willing to reforge our alliance and attack Arendelle?"

Only one kingdom responded positively to his call. The kingdom of DunBroch agreed to join him on his quest. The king had been a very good friend of Chief Stoic, but is up in his years. He is sending his daughter in his stead, a fierce warrior and excellent archer, Merida.

"Your majesty!" a guard gasps, running into the queen's private quarters, where she is working on paperwork.

"Yes, Kai?" He rarely bursts unannounced into her quarters. He rarely comes to them at all.

"The village of Berk has declared war on Arendelle." Queen Elsa drops her pen in shock. Then, her face sombers and she orders him to send for the royalty of Corona. Once he is gone, she too leaves. If she doesn't let some of her powers out, this shock and the ensuing wreck of her emotions will cause her to freeze whatever rooms she is in.

She eventually treks all the way to get ice castle, where she sobs herself to sleep.

"Ooh, look Punz! It's an Arendelle ship! Maybe Elsa came to see us!" Anna exclaims, pointing at the dock. She and Kristoff have been visiting her cousin Rapunzel and Punz's husband Eugene in Corona for a week.

"Let's go see!" Rapunzel calls, running toward the docks. The boys roll their eyes and slowly follow.

Mere minutes later, the happy company are fighting tears. Rapunzel and Eugene leave to talk about war preparations with her parents, and Anna and Kristoff immediately begin to ready to leave with the messenger ship back to Arendelle. Anna can't stop worrying about Elsa. How is her control over her powers after news like this? And with no one close to her there to help?
