It was no secret anymore, even the citizens were aware of the imminent downfall of their city. If the Gods could see how far we have fallen...

The princess, in her many wanderings around the crumbling city, had come upon ancient texts inscribed on the insides of a few caves. She had not the skills to read, though, and so she could only base her assumptions off the drawings next to the scripts. Kida had urged her father as much as she could, she had argued and broken as many rules as she could, but no one would listen to her. I know there’s more to this city than what we have now. The Gods wouldn’t have banished us without giving us some hope for survival. From what Kida could tell, there were two parts to Atlantis, one above the water and one below it. The were currently situated in the former; and the princess believed that if they could find the underground tunnels, maybe something from their past could save them.

She knew of a single underwater passage, in the King’s chamber. It won’t be difficult to sneak in but finding a cave under all that water is another problem. As excellent of a swimmer that Kida is, she can’t hold her breath forever. Drowning is a risk, yes, but if it means unlocking more secrets about Atlantis, Kida knew it was worth it.

The Atlantian waited until the city slept, she needed to reach the water without anyone seeing her leave; surely no one would approve of her going out on her own to explore the depth of unknown parts of their home. With the moon high in the sky, Kida plunged into the icy water of the night. Her crystal necklace lit up the water around her, a blue glow emanating all around her. So began her mission of diving as deep as her body would allow, please, Gods, let there be something down here.

The deeper she swam, the darker her surroundings seemed to become. Her necklace’s soft blue light seemed to get brighter, though, does that mean something? Am I getting closer? She knew that their crystals were the life of her people, if it was getting brighter, was it growing stronger?

With her curiosity peaked and her hopes rising, Kida pushed herself to go deeper into the depths. The Atlantian felt herself being overexerted and her muscles beginning to grow weary--it was getting difficult for her to hold her breath. Almost instantly, she realized that her loss of breath was too much. A panic began to spread through the girl’s body as she instinctively turned around and began to swim upwards. Kida cursed her stupidity in every language she knew; I get so close, so close, and then you go and drown yourself. No one would know what she did, and Atlantis would continue to go down its dark path with her gone. Her panic state of mind did not help her struggle to reach the surface: the increased heart rate made her tire even quicker.

              Looking up from his map, Hiccup almost felt himself jump. Was that--No, Gods and Spirits alike didn’t make themselves visible to mortals. However, there was certainly someone creating snow out of nothing. Hiccup swallows and stands, walking towards the open field, gesturing for Toothless to stay back.

     Boston? Why BOSTON? Elsa could make a list of 10 better places to visit in all of the United States and Boston CERTAINLY wasn’t at the top of that list. It was RARE that Elsa left her room these days, and the constant inquiries from Anna on the other side of her door were breaking her heart day by day. It wasn’t her fault that all this had happened -- Elsa had almost KILLED her, she deserved to be locked in her room until she had better control on her powers and then some. The gloves were both that physical and mental barrier on what was inside her, somehow helping her feel more in CONTROL...for now. 

     Although she was starting to get used to the lavender walls that surrounded her, Elsa couldn’t deny she enjoyed accompanying her parents on their business trips. Being the eldest sibling, she felt it was her RESPONSIBILITY to soak up all she could about the family business, even at her young age. The boat rides would SCARE her at times, but having her mother there to comfort her made it worth the constant swaying and motion sickness. Taking a boat from Arendelle to the states was the longest journey she’s ever done, but she would never complain or show any FEAR for the long journey ahead.

     Her parents informed her of where they’d be staying for the next few nights, and although Elsa felt it would be SAFEST for her to stay inside the entire trip, they encouraged her to take a walk around outside to possibly get to know some of the other children. Once her parents had gone, she took a look out the window and couldn’t stop the upward curve in the corner of her lips at the sight of children her age playing outside -- enjoying the fresh air and FREEDOM.

A low chuff escaped the flare, hot breath hitting the man’s face as long ears trembled.

The shade couldn’t help the cynical smile that cracked its way across his stone-like face. His form kept to the shadows, only the shine of brilliant gold and silver able to be seen clearly. 

“...Stronger..?” His voice felt like ash in his throat, the utterance just barely able to escape the confines of the dark. 

Pupils would slit as the King would drag his focus from the beyond and land upon the Frost child’s face. He looked down at the boy with an expression that conveyed a mixture of fury and amusement. 

He scoffed.
