Thread: Darkness over Ice [LadyYunaFFX2 x ForeverM]

Darkness roamed Arendelle. As it had, for several weeks now. It was long past just an irrational fear. It wasn't just black clouds blocking out the sun. No. It was something different. As if the sun never arrived, to their side of the planet. As if an impenetrable layer, had formed between their happy little Kingdom, and the sun. Whispers had started. Saying that it had to be their Queen. She'd done it before. Filled the lands with fear, with her magics. Even though there had been peace for several years now, and that the Queen had seemingly controlled her powers, what else could it be? This wasn't a natural phenomenon. Magic was the course. And who else, if not Elsa. The Queen could've done anything to prevent this. Spoke with the Trolls. The Witches of Herlock. Nothing would get her anywhere. No one knew, what caused this darkness. But one thing, the Witches -could- mention. This was like 'Darkholm'. A Kingdom that had long since been buried in darkness. And it happened like it did now. Their Kingdom had been ruled by a Mage, as well. But since the Darkness took over, no one had dared go there. The sea was calm, that dark evening. The Darkness was as thick as always, only lit up by desperate lanterns, trying their best to break the choking darkness. Most where silent, only light rumbling from the nearby Tavern. A part of town, that wasn't exactly affected by the 'Darkness'. A Captain of a supply ship made his last inspection of his ship, before preparing to head to the tavern as well. But something caught his eye. A figure in the darkness. Walking. But not on the harbor, or one of the piers. But on the water. Shrouded in darkness bellow a dark hood, the man showed not his face as he walked by. But it felt as if the air around him got thinner, and the Captain had to gasp for his breath, as he dropped down in fear. The figure seemed to hover up on the harbor, continuing on it's destination towards the Castle. No one dared stay in his way. Everyone stood as far from the dark shrouded character as they could. The shrouded figure met the front gates of the castle, before he stopped for a moment, as the Castle guards made their way towards him. A Guard warned he should stay back, placing a hand on the figure's shoulder. But instead of meeting the clothes on the figure, the hand went through, a look of fear in both guards. Except the one who had touched him, soon turned pale, as he began hacking for his breath. And as he did, the figure continued on it's way, a hand waving though the second guard, causing him to drop to the ground as well. A sword was swung through the figure, but it was as effortless as cutting through fog, and the figure continued. He waved his hand a single time towards his attacker, sending the guard flying through the air with a scream, cut short when he hit the nearest wall. Anything else the guards threw at him, continued to have no effect. And once the figure reached the front door, he passed through it, as was it just another inch of air. Once inside, the figure stopped it's approach, soon surrounded by Guards, throwing threats. The figure just remained silent, until the Guards did the same. There where silence for a few seconds, before the figure held out his right hand, cupping it upwards. A ball of darkness seemed to take shape in his had, as if shadows came together in his hand. The ball seemed to take in power. A power, Elsa would undoubtedly feel. A power, that when it exploded, as the figure clenched his hand shut, sent a wave of force through the entire castle. Guards, maids, guests and staff where all thrown for the nearest windows, as if a suction was created there, only aiming for them. The royal family, however, was hardly affected. They'd feel the winds strike them, but would not be thrown with them, as everyone else. Should they try to help someone, and hold them back, they would find the winds far too strong for them to handle. Not even Elsa's magic could stop the strong winds. People would just get thrown right through. As if a cleansing was going on. Cleaning out anything that wasn't Royalty of Arendelle. Now, there was silence. And Elsa would now be able to feel the other presence in the castle. Weather she'd hunt it down, or not. It was looking for her, slowly making it's way through the Castle's many halls. With each step it took, getting closer.
