"Elsaaaaaaaa!!!!!" Anna cut a corner nearly knocking over one of the servants. "Whoopsers sorry, Elsa!!!" She slammed the door open to the portrait room and there she was. Anna sighed quietly and walked slowly toward Elsa. She watched Elsa Gazing into the paintings of such happy faces wishing she herself could show such happiness. Anna stood next to her sister and waited to speak, not wanting to interrupt her sisters thoughts. Even though what she had to say was really important.

"I haven't been in here since I was a child," Anna Blinked and looked at the painting of the young lady in the swing. Elsa continued walking around the room. "I forget all the beautiful artwork in this room." Anna nodded, her cheeks blew up with air, she needed to tell her. "We use to play in here so much didn't we?" Anna nodded again, hurry up. "And make snow men and oh...and ice skat-" Elsa pointed and ice shot out of her fingers and she quickly held her hand tightly into her chest. Anna blinked and walked over to Elsa, noticing she frosted the whole resting chair. Anna grabbed her arm and rubbed it gently.

"Elsa....you didn't mean too its ok-" Snow started to fall around them and Anna's cheek blew up with air again. "No, no, no, no. No. Stop it."

"Anna,"

"Nope I already know what your going to say I cant control itttt. Im a Monsterrrrrr," Elsa Giggled over her dramatizing "Monster." "You are going to be just fine and there might be some mishaps of frozen chairs now and then get use to it! This is you." Elsa smiled and shook her head. The snowflakes began to disperse around them.

"So What is it you wanted to tell me?"

"Huh?....What was I going to- Oh! Checkers!!!!!!"

"Checkers......Well we can play if you like,"

"No no my horse,"

"Horse?" Anna grabbed her hand.

"Ill show you, I hope we didn't miss it!"

"Miss? Wahhh!" Anna yanked her hand and started sprinting down the corridor and sharp turns until they reached Ki.

"Your Majesties Hello, Ice master is waiting for you both in the stables-"

"Thanks Ki" They rushed passed him and around the corner to the stables. Olaf Smiled wide and ran up to the tired girls.

"Hurry guys checkers is about to burst." Elsa's eyes widened and gasped out air.

"Burst?!" Anna Nodded and quickly led her to one of the stalls. And there on the floor lay Checkers and Kristoff kneeling right next to the horse. Anna picked up her skirt and sat next to Kristoff. Elsa watched Anna softly pet the mane of her stead. "She's in labor?"

"Yes!" Anna gasped with such excitement and so did her horse checkers, baying as if to reply to Anna. "Ok, ok, so is it a filly or a colt?!" Kristoff chuckled and wiped his hand on his towel and put it on his shoulder.

"It's too soon to tell Anna You know that."

"Uhgggg I just want this little horse to meet aunt Elsa and Anna." She continued petting checkers head when suddenly she jolted up her head with pain. Elsa jumped backwards, what happened? "Checkers! Checkers! Whats wrong!? Kristoff?!"

"I-I don't know?!"

"What's wrong?" Elsa looked up beside her and starred into the eyes of a tall man with shaggy black hair and brown eyes.

"I-I don't know, we don't know what could be wrong,"

"I do," He squeezed past her and knelt down next to Kristoff. "May I?" Kristoff nodded and scooted away. He placed his hands softly messaging the animals stomach. Checkers whined in pain. "Shhhh its alright," He rubbed his head and bite off one of his gloves. "How long has she been like this?"

"About a good 20 minutes," Kristoff replied.

"Ok....Ok the foals leg is stuck I need to reach in and help ease out its leg, if I do that she can do the rest." Elsa began shivering, she was scared for this poor creature. She noticed little specks of snow begin to form in the air. "The hell," Elsa's eyes darted toward the man,"Snow? Where did this come from?"

"You" He looked up at Elsa. "You don't know?"

"All I know is that it might affect the delivery," Elsa bite her lip and backed away from the stall, Anna noticed her distress and reached her hand out to stop her but Elsa quickly walked out of the stables. Olaf watched her walk to the docks and Anna run after her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elsa reached the decks and walked down the stairs to the shore. She grabbed her sides and fell on her knees in the sand. She shook her head. "Did I do this to Anna's horse?" She looked at her shaking hands. A shadow cast over her own and Elsa looked behind her. Anna stood above gasping from running and reached her hands toward Elsa.

"No Elsa," Elsa took them and hoisted herself up.

"But, h-he said that I-"

"Checkers was already having complications before you even started cooling the air around us, ok?" Elsa looked away to her now folded hands. "It couldn't of been you," She nodded trying to calm down.

"Anna! Elsa!" They both turned as Olaf hopped toward them. "Quick its Checkers!" Elsa and Anna's faces changed as they hurried back to the stalls.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Who is a handsome boy? You are, yes you are," Anna nuzzled the foal's nose and kissed it. Elsa put her hand over her mouth trying to conceal her smile but couldn't she was very happy.

"Im so relieved he's alright," The man smiled as well at Elsa as he rubbed the cloth on the colt's legs.

"Your Mare is quite a fighter," Anna rubbed Checker's neck. Kristoff watched from the next stall over brushing off Sven. He was happy to see Anna smiling and so excited. "He's a very pretty color, its rare to see such a unique color for a Norwegian Fjord," Anna Smiled widely at the man's remark.

"Really?" He nodded and rubbed the top of it's head.

"This Kvit color is very rare, your lucky to have him," After he said that Anna looked at Elsa and back to the new horse of the family.

"Elsa," Elsa looked at her trying so hard not to look at the cute little creature. "I would like to give him to you," Elsa put her hand on her chest surprised, Anna wanted to give her such an amazing horse, why?

"But he's yours besides I don't know how to ride-"

"Then learn,"

"But-"

"I want to," Anna stood up and urged her to come in the stall. Elsa stepped in and knelt down with Anna. "He is special and rare and unique.....Just like you." Elsa touched its head and it bayed happily. "And I was already planning giving you Checkers baby anyway so no biggy," Anna scrunched her shoulders together while talking. Elsa laughed and grinned at the colt.

"Alright then, well what do we name him?"

"We? Nope you. Your horse you name him,"

"I'm not sure...."

"Genty," Elsa frowned and looked up at the man sitting in the corner.

"Genty?" She asked and he nodded

"It's Irish for snow," Elsa eyes softened toward him and he grinned.

"Genty," She cupped the small horse jaw and watched his eyes. "D-do you like Genty?" It shook its head and Elsa mimicked his movement. "Well Genty it is," Elsa looked to the corner to thank the man but he was gone.

"I think he left Elsa," Anna concluded. Elsa nodded sadly but soon forgot where he went after Genty bumped her arm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elsa blinked when the light brightened her room from the early morning. She was was very eager to see Genty. She waited months and he was finally big enough for her to ride him. Of course she was a little nervous having only rode him a couple of times. But she was determined to have a nice day out with him alone. She rose out of bed, grabbed her favorite corset and riding skirt and headed to her mirror. Elsa got dressed then braided her hair and fastened it with an ice hairband. She was ready.

"Queen Elsa?" Elsa heard the muffled voice and sudden knocks through her doors.

"Come in," Elsa began as Master Ki entered her quarters. He smiled and bowed. "Good morning Ki. How are you?" Elsa urged him to come and she softly intertwined her hands in front of her.

"I am well your Majesty. I am so very glad to see you so excited for riding I see," She nodded, pleased that he noticed. Ki was like an uncle to her. It always made her happy that he cared to ask about her day when she was alone all those years. "Although I have some concerns,"

"Yes?"

"Well you said you wanted to be alone for your first outdoor ride with Genty but i'm afraid I find it unwise for you to be alone my Queen," Elsa frowned, Ki knew better than anyone that she deserved some freedom from what she dealt with all those years. She didn't want to shut anything else out anymore she wanted to embrace as much as she could. Without the accompany of a group of guards, she wanted to relax with her horse and have fun.

"Master Ki I have my magic...I-I a sure you I will be fi-"

"No you won't," Elsa was stunned by such a straight remark from Ki. She watched him shake his head. "Forgive me Elsa it's......you are the Queen now, whether we would like to believe it or not we do not live in peace anymore. Prince Hans wants your kingdom. We now realize we have enemies...I just want you to be safe." Elsa sighed, he was right. It wasn't about her anymore its now her people and....and Anna. She needed to keep them safe and to do that she needed to be safe as well. She nodded and Ki sighed in relief.

"Who...will be my escorts?" She asked.

"Esscort," Ki chuckled at her confused face. "His name is Sir Asher. He just joined the royal guard, he was highly recommended by your uncle King Thomas. He came all the way from Corona. Young man please come in," Asher entered the room and both Elsa and him were shocked.

"You?" Asher quickly took off his helmet and smoothed his hair while fastening his helmet under his arm. He bowed towards Elsa. Elsa just looked to both her sides not sure what to think. He rose while wearing a hearty smile. "I had no idea you were the Queen...Uh y-your Majesty." Asher cleared his throat trying to speak as formal as he could. Ki gave him a suspicious expression.

"You have already met her Majesty?" Asher's Helmet slipped and he caught it mid air, he paused in embarrassment and placed it to his side once more and straightened. Not realizing how much he was blushing. "Y-yes Master Ki I-"

"He helped Anna's Horse deliver Genty," Elsa answered and he nodded. Ki grinned widely and hit Ashers arm.

"So that's where you went when you visited last? The hero hmm?" Asher laughed,

"Yes Sir...So how is Genty Queen Elsa?" Elsa blanked and for couple moments didn't answer.

"Fine." Elsa said bluntly not meaning too. "Excuse me..I...Please forgive me I haven't talked to many....ahem.." She didn't finish. Ki noticed her struggle and quickly changed the conversation.

"It's alright Elsa. Well I'll leave you to it Sir Asher. Have a good day your Majesty." Ki left the room with the two and they both stood there in silence. Elsa just stared down at her folded hands.

"My Queen?" Elsa looked up and watched Asher lift out his folded arm. "Shall we go?" Elsa nodded and took his arm, intertwining hers with his. "Are you cold?" He asked.

"Hmm?" She replied quietly. He walked out the door with her in arm and they started down the halls.

"Your hands are freezing," Elsa gasped silently and looked toward her fingers. A tad of frost covered the top layer of the fabric of his jacket. Elsa then remembered he didn't know of her powers yet. "Would you like my jacket your Majes-"

"Oh no its fine thank you though," He nodded and grinned curiously.

"You are quite an interesting Women." She smiled lightly at his remark. He had no idea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is that him?!" Elsa nodded and walked up to his stall.

"Genty?" Genty came out bobbing his head wildly. Excited to see the women in front of him. When Elsa got closer he huffed and lowered his head to her height. She hugged his head. Asher walked closer to him as well and studied the horse.

"He has grown quite a lot! I bet he could pick you up with his head if he wanted to."

"He wouldn't be here if it weren't for you," Elsa replied with a kiss on Genty's nose. Asher went to the stall next to Genty's and whistled. Elsa watched as a beautiful black stallion walked up to him. It sniffed his hair and bowed its head into his hands.

"Your Majesty meet Adiya " Elsa's eyes rose to his stead's, when it noticed her gaze it huffed at her.

"And what does that name mean Sir Asher?"

"Gentle,"

"You really love meaningful names don't you?" Elsa implied. He opened the stall and his horse walked out in front of him so he could saddle her. Elsa did the same except Genty had a bit of a jump to his step.

"You could say it's a hobby of mine, your name means God's promise correct?" A sudden chill went down her spine and triggered a tug at her heart.

"Y-yes...." He noticed her distress and buckled his saddle. He walked over to hers and fitted the saddle correctly and buckled it as well.

"Did....I say something wrong My Queen?" Elsa lifted her hands up.

"Oh no....You didn't...The last time I heard that was from my late father," He squinted his eyes shut annoyed with what he said. He turned to face her.

"I apologize I didn't mean to bring up painful memories."

"It was a good memory....sometimes I forget that what I think are bad memories can be good ones too." Genty bumped her shoulder and Nayed for her attention. She smiled and rubbed his jaw. Asher smiled at the sweet gesture of her horse. He grabbed Genty and Adiya's reins and started out the stables.

"Im glad, are we ready?" Elsa nodded and walked along side him. A few moments later they were both on their horses heading toward the trails.

"Elsaaaaaa!!!!!" Asher and Elsa looked back confused. Anna ran up to them with her hands waving in the air.

"Anna?" Elsa watched Anna stumble over, she sat her hands on her knees gasping for air.

"Dear god, w-what are...Phew! H-hold on a sec.."

"Anna I told you I was going on a ride today."

"I thoug-....dear lord breathe Anna.... I was going with you wasn't I?" Anna asked while stretching her back.

"You told me you had a picnic planned with Kristoff," Anna blinked and sighed obnoxiously. Elsa giggled. "I promise we will have some sister time soon ok?" Anna folded her arms together and eyed the man on the horse beside her. He waved nervously at her.

"Uh-huh who are you?"

"Sir Asher, Princess." He bowed half way noticing Anna stomping over to him, startling Genty in the process. Elsa tapped his neck and watched Anna.

"Nuh-uh No. Do not call me Princess Dasher,"

"Ah yes. Forgive me Princess Ann- Dasher?" Anna pointed her finger up at him squinting her eyes.

"You don't happen to be related to a Hans of the Southern Isles do you?"

"Anna!" Anna shrugged towards Elsa. "This is Sir Asher; Uncle Thomas sent him from Corona. He is part of his royal guard." Anna winced and looked up at him with an uneasy gaze.

"Oooooo sorry," Anna shrugged toward Elsa again not sure what else to say.

"It completely fine princess Ann-"

"Please don't call me princess.....he called me that...just call me Anna....Uh what was it... Dasher,"

"Al...right....Dasher?" Anna twirled toward Elsa and patted Genty.

"Have fun and don't get lost k?" Elsa nodded and clicked her Heels. Genty then began a study prance and then into a jog. She waved good bye to Anna as Asher caught up with her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whoa Genty," Elsa pulled on her reigns and stopped her horse to a halt. Asher did the same and watched as she jumped off with ease and stepped into the meadow. She walked up a small hill and looked out into the distance.

"Queen Elsa?" Asher rested his arms on his saddle and looked at her curiously.

"I'll be just a moment, I just," Elsa inhaled and then exhaled as the wind washed over her. "I just need to breathe," Asher grinned and unmounted his horse. He patted Genty as he walked the small hill until he reached where Elsa stood.

"Arendelle is quite a place," Elsa hummed with his response. They both looked out into the scenery. Elsa frowned and she looked at Asher. He noticed her gaze and grinned. "Your Magesty?" Elsa shook her head and folded her hands.

"I...You see I thought you should know that....I am not what you could say normal... I have abilities- No I have talents?" He stepped in front of her and she looked up at him confused.

"I know about your magic," Elsa about choked on her own breath. He knew?! Why didn't he say anything?!

"Why didn't you-"

"Well there was a talking snow man and you frosted my clothes so-"

"No....You acted like you didn't know, why?"

"Well your Majesty...I am your new guard and I wanted you to tell me," She shook her head still not really understanding. "I want you to trust me when you want to trust me. Do you understand?"

"You," Little snowflakes formed around them and she squeezed her hands tighter trying to control it. "You don't mind?" He laughed and blew one of the snowflakes out of his hair.

"Your cousin, Princess Rapunzel use to have the power to heal people with her hair when she sang. I don't mind."

"S-she did?" Elsa giggled. And the snow vanished with the wind.

"Yes! It was quite fascinating."

"You find magic fascinating?"

"I do." Asher replied with a enthusiastic smile. He gestured her to follow him back down to the horses.

"It's not easy to have though, especially while trying to control it an-...What are you doing?" Elsa asked. Asher held a basket in his hand and turned. Elsa laughed when she noticed Asher had an apple stuffed in his mouth.

"Ahhm shawry," Elsa shook her head with a smile.

"What was that?" He placed the basket down and grabbed the apple out of his mouth.

"I said im sorry," He rose his eye brows as she clapped sarcastically.

"Ahhhh I see,"

"Master Ki had a lunch packed," He set it down on the grass and started opening it up. Elsa sat down as well fixing her riding skirt in the process. He chuckled and looked at Elsa and back at the basket. He looked at a huge bag of chocolate. "Arendelle sure likes its chocolate," He handed her a plate and took a bite out of the apple.

"Yes we do. Have you tried some?"

"Yes plenty! Prince Eugene gave me some the last time you sent chocolate to your uncle and aunt the King and Queen." He sat down a small platter of fruits, ham, and bread and they started to serve themselves.

"You know the prince?" She asked surprised while nibbling on a piece of ham.

"We grew up in the same orphanage together," She stopped eating a placed her food back on her plate.

"Im sorry,"

"Oh no don't be, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be in the royal guard,"

"How come?"

"Well I tried really hard to get that position...but they didn't want a kid off the streets so," He took a bite of ham and she froze until he continued. "Eugene became a royal and he found me one day working in the castle's stables, pulled a few strings and here I am." He smiled and took another bite.

"So you and him were friends?"

"At a time we were like brothers but he grew up and he ran away. The last time I saw him I was maybe 12. Didn't see him again till I was a young man."

"I'm sorry for that struggle you went through,"

"It's alright I had the chance to do many things after those trials. Travel, lasting friendships, and family."

Asher sat back and looked up at the sky. Elsa followed his gaze. Everything was so peaceful. This is what Elsa wanted, to just relax and enjoy the day. She set her plate back in the basket and lay down on the grass and closed her eyes.

Asher looked back at Elsa and smirked. The Queen was laying on the grass, not caring who saw nor caring how dirty her skirt was getting. She just existed. He liked this women, she was different. He took another bite out of his apple and glanced back at her.

He frowned when he noticed the grass around her hands frosted slowly. It stopped when she opened her eyes and noticed Ashers expression.

"Is something wrong," She asked him still laying down. He squinted at her and looked back at her hands.

"You frosted the grass." He answered. She sat right up and held her hand in her lap. Noticing the shape of her hand and fingers left behind in the frost. "Remember how you said that its hard to control,"

"Yes."

"Maybe you should let it go?"

"The last time I did that I froze Arendelle." He laughed.

"No don't let it go that much just...relax and don't think about it," She thought about his suggestion and stuck out a shaky pointer finger. "Ya, show me some of your magic."

She looked over to see his excitement and smiled. Giving her a boost of courage she raised her other hand and started to create snow. She twirled her hand above her other hand that was secured under what she was creating. Asher watched in amazement as she formed a sculpture of his face and shoulders out of ice. When she finished, it dropped in her hand and she handed it to Asher. He took it and studied her handy work.

"This is amazing Elsa!" She smiled, she was glad that he appreciated it so much. "I mean....i-it's lovely Q-Queen Elsa."

"Your welcome."

"How did that feel?"

"Well I'm still a little uneasy about using my gifts but yes....it made me feel better."

"It is amazing." They both looked at each other and she broke the stare.

"We should go, I have some things I need to do before tomorrow." She lifted her self from the ground and mounted Genty. She waited as he grabbed the basket and fastened it to his saddle and placed his sculpture inside before mounting. "I will miss it here."

"You say that as if your not coming back?" He looked at her strange and hoisted himself up on Adiya.

"Because I probably won't, I'm the Queen. I have duties before fun or for myself that is. So it will be a long while before I am able to ride again." Genty huffed sadly at that remark and stomped his hooves. She pet him lightly and sighed.

"Who knows maybe you will get married soon and have your husband do all the work for you." he joked. Elsa blushed. Her married? She shook her head annoyed at him.

"Knowing my luck they will only marry for my kingdom or wont marry me because they fear me." She implied and kicked her heels and rode off.

"Your Majesty w-wait for me." He yelled as he did the same and hurried after her.

"So that's where you went when you visited last? The hero hmm?" Asher laughed,

"Yes Sir...So how is Genty Queen Elsa?" Elsa blanked and for couple moments didn't answer.

"Fine." Elsa said bluntly not meaning too. "Excuse me..I...Please forgive me I haven't talked to many....ahem.." She didn't finish. Ki noticed her struggle and quickly changed the conversation.

"It's alright Elsa. Well I'll leave you to it Sir Asher. Have a good day your Majesty." Ki left the room with the two and they both stood there in silence. Elsa just stared down at her folded hands.

"My Queen?" Elsa looked up and watched Asher lift out his folded arm. "Shall we go?" Elsa nodded and took his arm, intertwining hers with his. "Are you cold?" He asked.

"Hmm?" She replied quietly. He walked out the door with her in arm and they started down the halls.

"Your hands are freezing," Elsa gasped silently and looked toward her fingers. A tad of frost covered the top layer of the fabric of his jacket. Elsa then remembered he didn't know of her powers yet. "Would you like my jacket your Majes-"

"Oh no its fine thank you though," He nodded and grinned curiously.

"You are quite an interesting Women." She smiled lightly at his remark. He had no idea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is that him?!" Elsa nodded and walked up to his stall.

"Genty?" Genty came out bobbing his head wildly. Excited to see the women in front of him. When Elsa got closer he huffed and lowered his head to her height. She hugged his head. Asher walked closer to him as well and studied the horse.

"He has grown quite a lot! I bet he could pick you up with his head if he wanted to."

"He wouldn't be here if it weren't for you," Elsa replied with a kiss on Genty's nose. Asher went to the stall next to Genty's and whistled. Elsa watched as a beautiful black stallion walked up to him. It sniffed his hair and bowed its head into his hands.

"Your Majesty meet Adiya " Elsa's eyes rose to his stead's, when it noticed her gaze it huffed at her.

"And what does that name mean Sir Asher?"

"Gentle,"

"You really love meaningful names don't you?" Elsa implied. He opened the stall and his horse walked out in front of him so he could saddle her. Elsa did the same except Genty had a bit of a jump to his step.

"You could say it's a hobby of mine, your name means God's promise correct?" A sudden chill went down her spine and triggered a tug at her heart.

"Y-yes...." He noticed her distress and buckled his saddle. He walked over to hers and fitted the saddle correctly and buckled it as well.

"Did....I say something wrong My Queen?" Elsa lifted her hands up.

"Oh no....You didn't...The last time I heard that was from my late father," He squinted his eyes shut annoyed with what he said. He turned to face her.

"I apologize I didn't mean to bring up painful memories."

"It was a good memory....sometimes I forget that what I think are bad memories can be good ones too." Genty bumped her shoulder and Nayed for her attention. She smiled and rubbed his jaw. Asher smiled at the sweet gesture of her horse. He grabbed Genty and Adiya's reins and started out the stables.

"Im glad, are we ready?" Elsa nodded and walked along side him. A few moments later they were both on their horses heading toward the trails.

"Elsaaaaaa!!!!!" Asher and Elsa looked back confused. Anna ran up to them with her hands waving in the air.

"Anna?" Elsa watched Anna stumble over, she sat her hands on her knees gasping for air.

"Dear god, w-what are...Phew! H-hold on a sec.."

"Anna I told you I was going on a ride today."

"I thoug-....dear lord breathe Anna.... I was going with you wasn't I?" Anna asked while stretching her back.

"You told me you had a picnic planned with Kristoff," Anna blinked and sighed obnoxiously. Elsa giggled. "I promise we will have some sister time soon ok?" Anna folded her arms together and eyed the man on the horse beside her. He waved nervously at her.

"Uh-huh who are you?"

"Sir Asher, Princess." He bowed half way noticing Anna stomping over to him, startling Genty in the process. Elsa tapped his neck and watched Anna.

"Nuh-uh No. Do not call me Princess Dasher,"

"Ah yes. Forgive me Princess Ann- Dasher?" Anna pointed her finger up at him squinting her eyes.

"You don't happen to be related to a Hans of the Southern Isles do you?"

"Anna!" Anna shrugged towards Elsa. "This is Sir Asher; Uncle Thomas sent him from Corona. He is part of his royal guard." Anna winced and looked up at him with an uneasy gaze.

"Oooooo sorry," Anna shrugged toward Elsa again not sure what else to say.

"It completely fine princess Ann-"

"Please don't call me princess.....he called me that...just call me Anna....Uh what was it... Dasher,"

"Al...right....Dasher?" Anna twirled toward Elsa and patted Genty.

"Have fun and don't get lost k?" Elsa nodded and clicked her Heels. Genty then began a study prance and then into a jog. She waved good bye to Anna as Asher caught up with her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whoa Genty," Elsa pulled on her reigns and stopped her horse to a halt. Asher did the same and watched as she jumped off with ease and stepped into the meadow. She walked up a small hill and looked out into the distance.

"Queen Elsa?" Asher rested his arms on his saddle and looked at her curiously.

"I'll be just a moment, I just," Elsa inhaled and then exhaled as the wind washed over her. "I just need to breathe," Asher grinned and unmounted his horse. He patted Genty as he walked the small hill until he reached where Elsa stood.

"Arendelle is quite a place," Elsa hummed with his response. They both looked out into the scenery. Elsa frowned and she looked at Asher. He noticed her gaze and grinned. "Your Magesty?" Elsa shook her head and folded her hands.

"I...You see I thought you should know that....I am not what you could say normal... I have abilities- No I have talents?" He stepped in front of her and she looked up at him confused.

"I know about your magic," Elsa about choked on her own breath. He knew?! Why didn't he say anything?!

"Why didn't you-"

"Well there was a talking snow man and you frosted my clothes so-"

"No....You acted like you didn't know, why?"

"Well your Majesty...I am your new guard and I wanted you to tell me," She shook her head still not really understanding. "I want you to trust me when you want to trust me. Do you understand?"

"You," Little snowflakes formed around them and she squeezed her hands tighter trying to control it. "You don't mind?" He laughed and blew one of the snowflakes out of his hair.

"Your cousin, Princess Rapunzel use to have the power to heal people with her hair when she sang. I don't mind."

"S-she did?" Elsa giggled. And the snow vanished with the wind.

"Yes! It was quite fascinating."

"You find magic fascinating?"

"I do." Asher replied with a enthusiastic smile. He gestured her to follow him back down to the horses.

"It's not easy to have though, especially while trying to control it an-...What are you doing?" Elsa asked. Asher held a basket in his hand and turned. Elsa laughed when she noticed Asher had an apple stuffed in his mouth.

"Ahhm shawry," Elsa shook her head with a smile.

"What was that?" He placed the basket down and grabbed the apple out of his mouth.

"I said im sorry," He rose his eye brows as she clapped sarcastically.

"Ahhhh I see,"

"Master Ki had a lunch packed," He set it down on the grass and started opening it up. Elsa sat down as well fixing her riding skirt in the process. He chuckled and looked at Elsa and back at the basket. He looked at a huge bag of chocolate. "Arendelle sure likes its chocolate," He handed her a plate and took a bite out of the apple.

"Yes we do. Have you tried some?"

"Yes plenty! Prince Eugene gave me some the last time you sent chocolate to your uncle and aunt the King and Queen." He sat down a small platter of fruits, ham, and bread and they started to serve themselves.

"You know the prince?" She asked surprised while nibbling on a piece of ham.

"We grew up in the same orphanage together," She stopped eating a placed her food back on her plate.

"Im sorry,"

"Oh no don't be, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be in the royal guard,"

"How come?"

"Well I tried really hard to get that position...but they didn't want a kid off the streets so," He took a bite of ham and she froze until he continued. "Eugene became a royal and he found me one day working in the castle's stables, pulled a few strings and here I am." He smiled and took another bite.

"So you and him were friends?"

"At a time we were like brothers but he grew up and he ran away. The last time I saw him I was maybe 12. Didn't see him again till I was a young man."

"I'm sorry for that struggle you went through,"

"It's alright I had the chance to do many things after those trials. Travel, lasting friendships, and family."

Asher sat back and looked up at the sky. Elsa followed his gaze. Everything was so peaceful. This is what Elsa wanted, to just relax and enjoy the day. She set her plate back in the basket and lay down on the grass and closed her eyes.

Asher looked back at Elsa and smirked. The Queen was laying on the grass, not caring who saw nor caring how dirty her skirt was getting. She just existed. He liked this women, she was different. He took another bite out of his apple and glanced back at her.

He frowned when he noticed the grass around her hands frosted slowly. It stopped when she opened her eyes and noticed Ashers expression.

"Is something wrong," She asked him still laying down. He squinted at her and looked back at her hands.

"You frosted the grass." He answered. She sat right up and held her hand in her lap. Noticing the shape of her hand and fingers left behind in the frost. "Remember how you said that its hard to control,"

"Yes."

"Maybe you should let it go?"

"The last time I did that I froze Arendelle." He laughed.

"No don't let it go that much just...relax and don't think about it," She thought about his suggestion and stuck out a shaky pointer finger. "Ya, show me some of your magic."

She looked over to see his excitement and smiled. Giving her a boost of courage she raised her other hand and started to create snow. She twirled her hand above her other hand that was secured under what she was creating. Asher watched in amazement as she formed a sculpture of his face and shoulders out of ice. When she finished, it dropped in her hand and she handed it to Asher. He took it and studied her handy work.

"This is amazing Elsa!" She smiled, she was glad that he appreciated it so much. "I mean....i-it's lovely Q-Queen Elsa."

"Your welcome."

"How did that feel?"

"Well I'm still a little uneasy about using my gifts but yes....it made me feel better."

"It is amazing." They both looked at each other and she broke the stare.

"We should go, I have some things I need to do before tomorrow." She lifted her self from the ground and mounted Genty. She waited as he grabbed the basket and fastened it to his saddle and placed his sculpture inside before mounting. "I will miss it here."

"You say that as if your not coming back?" He looked at her strange and hoisted himself up on Adiya.

"Because I probably won't, I'm the Queen. I have duties before fun or for myself that is. So it will be a long while before I am able to ride again." Genty huffed sadly at that remark and stomped his hooves. She pet him lightly and sighed.

"Who knows maybe you will get married soon and have your husband do all the work for you." he joked. Elsa blushed. Her married? She shook her head annoyed at him.

"Knowing my luck they will only marry for my kingdom or wont marry me because they fear me." She implied and kicked her heels and rode off.

"Your Majesty w-wait for me." He yelled as he did the same and hurried after her.
