Chapter Text
It had been one hundred and forty years of isolation, and it's like with every person who couldn't see or even hear Jack's existence only caused the hole in his heart to get bigger, and lose a little more of what he had left of his soul. His only company through those many years had been the wind that carried him around the world, but Jack didn't have an actual friend or family, and he yearned to have either one so much, but any questions he asked the Moon of whether it was going to happen for him were always left unanswered. Jack wondered if his life of loneliness would ever come to an end, until one night, while he was traveling in the sky, he noticed something wrong in the winds surrounding a kingdom by the name of Arendelle.
It didn't take long for Jack to figure out what it was, or rather who: a strikingly beautiful young woman who had a tall, slender figure in a teal green dress with a sweetheart bodice of bronze lacing, in addition to one black glove, a magenta cape, and platinum blonde hair that was kept back in a elaborate French braid bun. Jack found the woman running away from Arendelle at the river, and saw that she had magical powers of her own from how the entire body of water turned to ice with every step she took with her black shoes, and the woman didn't stop running until she was on top of the steep North Mountain. He looked closely to see that the woman had been wearing a crown, which meant that she was either a princess or a Queen of the kingdom that she ran away from.
That's when Jack realized this woman had been wanting to hide her powers for the safety of the citizens of Arendelle, for she was afraid that they could have gotten hurt because of her, which explains the glove she had on, but Jack believed that the woman no longer had to keep her powers a secret, and she didn't have to feel sad anymore, since Arendelle was far behind her now, so he conjured a snowflake in his hand, and blew it towards the woman, who stopped when the snowflake touched her nose. She looked down at the glove which covered her right hand, before taking it off and letting the wind carry the glove away, then using her hands, the woman experimented with her magic, and Jack smiled as icy patterns swirled around the two of them, and he even saw the woman use her powers to create a snowman with three coal buttons and sticks for hands. After doing that, the woman brought her own hands up to her neck and took off her cape, which flew off into the wind until it became just a speck in the distance, and as she walked towards a gap in the mountain, Jack wondered how she was going to get across, since he wasn't able to help her because she couldn't see him.
However, Jack didn't need to worry at all when he saw the woman release her magic to make the start of a staircase, which rose even higher as she took each step, and by the time that the staircase was finished, the woman stomped her right foot on the ground to create a large icy snowflake underneath her feet. Jack was impressed with how detailed the snowflake was, but the truth was that he hadn't seen anything truly amazing yet, as when the woman raised both her arms, a magnificent ice palace began to construct all around them, which caused Jack's eyes to widen and his jaw to literally drop from what he was seeing.
It was obvious to Jack by now that this woman's magic was strong and powerful, but he really had no idea of what she was capable of, and once the castle was all done, Jack brought his attention back to the woman, only to see that her appearance had literally changed, but in a very good way. Her hair was in a side braid woven with snowflake incrustations, while the wisps of her bangs were slicked back on top of her head, and as for her outfit, she wore an off-the-shoulder, crystal-blue dress made out of ice with a crystallized bodice, powder blue sleeves and ice shoes, in addition to a long, transparent gossamer cape draped down from her sleeves and covered with big snowflake patterns.
"Whoa," Jack thought to himself, and that was only word he used to describe how he felt about the woman's new look, but Jack did feel happy that she was finally free to be herself and use her powers whenever she wanted to, but he didn't think that there was a point for him to stay any longer, since she didn't see him, so before taking off, Jack wished her good luck, without realizing that he actually said those two words out loud.
He was positive that the woman wouldn't hear him and walk away, just like every other person before her, but that all changed when she turned her head to look in his direction, and instead of believing it was nothing, out of nowhere, she asked "who are you?"
"Wait. . .you can see me?" Jack asked, and after the woman slowly nodded, that's when a huge smile came on his face, and he really felt like jumping up and down, but Jack didn't want to scare the woman away, so he simply replied "my name is Jack Frost, and who are you?"
"I'm Elsa, or in other words, the Snow Queen, but you can call me Elsa, so tell me, Jack, how did you get in here, because I'm sure that you didn't simply take the staircase, right?" Elsa inquired, and Jack was glad to know that Elsa did have a sense of humor.
"You couldn't see me earlier, or I didn't think you could, but I've always been able to fly with the help of the wind, so when I saw something strange with the wind surrounding that kingdom back there, I flew myself over, wondering what was going on, then I saw you running across the river, that's when it all made sense to me." Jack explained.
"Yes, I have control over ice and snow, which is the reason why I left my coronation at Arendelle, because I didn't want to hurt anyone, especially my sister, with my powers, but now I don't have to worry about that anymore, this is my new home, and it's where I'll stay." Elsa proclaimed.
"That's good to hear, and since we're being honest, if you remember something hitting your nose earlier, that was actually a snowflake I made for you, since I didn't want you to keep feeling so sad, but you're not anymore, and that means I can leave, because I'm sure that you weren't expecting company." Jack replied, as he prepared to call the wind to take him out of Elsa's palace.
"It's nice to meet you, Jack, but there's something, or two things that I wanted to know first, do you have a place of your own to call home, and is there anyone that you can talk to?" Elsa asked curiously, and Jack turned himself around so that he was giving Elsa direct eye contact.
"I don't really have a home, Elsa, even though I've been on my own for a very long time, and unless someone can see me, then I can't be able to talk to them," Jack answered, while trying to fight tears from coming out his eyes. " What about you, I mean were you really planning to spend the rest of your life in total isolation?" Jack asked.
"Well, if it meant that my sister and everyone else in Arendelle would be safe from me, then yes, Jack, that's my plan, but if you don't have a home in particular, then perhaps you could stay here, but only if you wanted to, and I'll probably have to create another bed, since I didn't think that anyone else would be here, so what you think?" Elsa suggested.
"I'd like that, Elsa, but I wouldn't want to impose. . ." Jack responded, and he wasn't lying when he said that, but he didn't want to mention that he slept in caves or in trees anytime that he happened to find himself getting tired and weary, because this ice palace was created by Elsa, so it was meant to be her home, and that's why Jack felt it would be unfair to call it his own.
"Okay, Jack, then how about this, you're free to come visit as many times as you want, and when you do visit, you're allowed to stay as long as you wish, so how does that sound to you?" Elsa asked, while starting to think that it wouldn't be so bad to have someone come by her palace often, especially if it was someone who had powers similar to her own.
"That sounds great, Elsa, but if it's not too much trouble for you, could I have a tour of your amazing ice palace, so that way, I'll always know what to look forward to when I visit." Jack requested, as he walked a few steps closer to Elsa, but he didn't want to be too close and make her uncomfortable.
"Yes, you may, and what you do say that we start this tour at the front door downstairs?" Elsa asked, and she was trying to be sarcastic when she said that, but luckily, Jack seemed to be aware of it, and Elsa was sure that she heard a laugh come out of his mouth.
As he walked with Elsa out of the room and to the staircase, Jack felt so relieved to know that after this night, he didn't have to worry about being invisible, he didn't have to worry about being isolated, and he didn't have to worry about being alone.
