@firefinding asked : ❛ i don't think i've ever seen you smile. ❜ (ICE SHELL FUCKER)

GRAY FOUND HIMSELF HAVING TO FIGHT BACK A SNARKY RESPONSE. you have. you just don't remember. that was the weirdest part about this entire... situation. natsu could see and hear him, but he was the only one. it irked the former ice mage, knowing he couldn't figure out why the dragon seemed to be the only exception. the only silver lining in it all was the fact that natsu still didn't remember him, which was the main intension of the spell. last thing i need is natsu realizing what happened.

❝ do you stare at me that much to feel like that was important to say ?? why do you care ??

[moonstruckmoony]

So a long while ago @lamieboo tagged me in this post (I'm not reblogging bcs it'll be way too long sorry 😢) I made some art and wrote a whole one shot for it because it was the perfect opportunity for a Winter lore I've always wanted to make. Please be kind lol 💀 I haven't written in ages and I'm such a noob when it comes to writing, also English isn't my native language. I had to run my draft through multiple writing tools back and forth to find better phrasings and dictions that better express what I want to convey. Roughly ~1,000 words.

Green and Gold

She stepped forward as the wardrobe creaked open, the boggart slipping through the narrow gap in the door. Long, flowing golden threads emerged first, and Winter drew in a sharp breath.

The rest of the boggart soon took form—a woman in a pale blue dress, slumped weakly on the floor, her calf bleeding from a deep slash. Golden locks framed her worried face, and her piercing blue eyes, so much like Winter’s own, locked onto hers. Winter’s hand instinctively went up to the scar across her left eye. The woman’s chest heaved with silent breaths. The faint murmur of the students lining up behind Winter faded until she could hear nothing. Then, the woman’s lips parted, as if to speak.

“Close your eyes, snowflake.”

Was that truly her mother’s voice? Winter couldn’t remember if boggarts could speak. Could they mimic human voices? Or was it only mouthing the words while the voice echoed from somewhere deep within her mind?

Her hands went clammy. A bead of sweat ran down the side of her face. 

She knows what’s coming next. Behind her mother’s beautiful, tear-streaked face, a blinding green light appeared. Winter swiftly squeezed her eyes shut and raised her wand. “Riddikulus,” she whispered, her voice trembling as she kept her eyelids tightly closed.

· · ─────── ·❄ ❅ ❆· ─────── · · Sebastian went pale, even as the swirling Mallowsweet leaves spun into a twister before him, which without question, the most mesmerising form of the Riddikulus charm he had ever seen. It wasn’t a form he would laugh at, unlike most transformations of the charm. It was breathtaking. But no, what had truly gripped him was the green light that followed her mother’s appearance. He had never seen Winter like this—paralysed by fear, gasping for breath, drenched in sweat. She was always so composed, so captivating. Full of life, curiosity, and wonder.

He hadn’t realised this was her deepest fear.

And it was the very same curse he had cast just last year. On his uncle. Right in front of her. What had she looked like back then? He couldn’t quite remember. The sound of her laboured breathing lingered faintly in his mind, and he recalled her standing frozen for a moment before following him as he fled the catacombs. But the look on her face—he had no memory of it. Was she shocked? Horrified? Traumatised? He had been too distraught, too consumed by his own turmoil, to notice. Merlin, how must she have felt? Watching her best friend cast the Killing Curse—the very same curse that had taken her mother’s life—right in front of her? His throat went dry. His insides twisted painfully. Clenching his hands into fists, he dug his nails into his palms.

Was this… was this the reason she had refused to learn the spell? Not that he had wanted her to; in fact, he had been relieved when she didn’t. But it left him with questions. She was his kindred spirit, after all, and he knew the Dark Arts intrigued her, even if it was purely out of curiosity and for the sake of knowing. She wanted to learn, and had learned the other two curses. He had thought, perhaps, she would eventually ask about the last one, even though he wasn’t sure if he could bear to teach her—not after what happened to Solomon, to himself.

To Anne. But she was adamant in her refusal to learn it. She had said so out of the blue, when they began speaking again after the catacombs—after weeks of silence between them. Now, he finally understood why. And his heart broke for her. “Sebastian? Sebastian, what just happened?” Ominis’ voice snapped him back to reality. His best friend’s face was filled with concern, surely anxious for not being able to see what’s happening. Just this time, Sebastian is glad he couldn’t. He wouldn’t want Ominis to witness her in such a state. He opened his mouth to respond, but nothing came out. He tried again, but his gaze drifted to Winter, who was slowly making her way towards them from the front of the line. Another student—Arthur Plummly, perhaps—stepped forward to face the boggart, but Sebastian hardly noticed. His focus was solely on Winter, her head bowed, arms wrapped tightly around herself, her body trembling slightly. “Winter��” She looked up at him, her eyes wide. They stood there for a moment, locked in each other's gaze. “I… I’m sorry.” He finally managed to speak. “What... what are you apologising for?” So much. Even though he’d already apologised to her and Ominis countless times, he hasn’t apologised for this one. “You—you know why.” He knew she understood. They’d always had a way of reading each other, and this was one of those moments. “That’s… It’s not—you shouldn’t…” She trailed off. And Sebastian was thankful she didn’t finish. Because he did feel like he should apologise. Even though hadn’t known about this, what he did that day might’ve stirred up memories she had buried deep down. Just like the cursed boggart had just now. Another silence passed before he slowly pulled her into an embrace. One hand rested on her back, the other gently cradling the back of her head. She froze at first, startled, but after a moment, her body softened into his arms as he tenderly stroked her hair. From his peripheral vision, Sebastian saw Ominis approached hesitantly. His alabaster hand tentatively found Winter’s smaller one, which still hung limply at her side, and she allowed their fingers to entwine. Sebastian could see the questions lingering in his best friend’s furrowed brows, but he’s certain that Winter would talk to him–she would explain everything to them when she’s ready.

He glanced forward, aware of the curious eyes from the students waiting in line—some watching with intrigue, others with quiet sympathy. It was a peculiar view, after all: Winter with her two best friends huddled together in such an unusual position. Up front, he caught sight of Amit ducking as his boggart morphed into harmless paper planes flying about after his successful Riddikulus. Sebastian hadn’t seen Amit’s boggart, but he imagined it was likely something ordinary, like a failing report card marked with a dreaded “T” in Astronomy or History of Magic.

None of that mattered now. The only person of importance was the girl in his arms, her trembling slowly subsiding, her once-laboured breathing easing into a soft, steady rhythm.

[moonlight-phobia]

... *awkwardly steps back into the scene*

Ok let's just ignore that I literally found your intro post for Sugita not even a minute after sending the first ask

Sometimes it would be helpful to turn on my brain before bothering people

But!! Then I'd just like to take the chance to ask for more information on her (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

NAKSKSKSKANA ASHIBSH

I promise I’m not crying. Okay maybe a little bit I am also I rolled on the floor for a solid five minutes listening to FightSong by Eve because I was happy 🥹

Anyway onto Sugita! She’s my lil sweetie but I probably dump a lot of emotional stuff on her oops! Anyway let’s get started!

❄︎ Sugita is a winter child, she does have a slower heartbeat due to being raised in grueling temperatures so hot weather isn’t her thing at all

❄︎ Takes medication for this: really it’s just a potion made from a certain people in Ahtohallan. Cools down the body so it can handle warm temperatures.

❄︎ Sugita’s favorite flowers are Snowdrops!

❄︎ As all students are given a magical pen she has one but prefers to use her Sovnya - it’s a type of spear in her personal view she thinks it’s easier to use.

❄︎ Crowley took it away from her though because he was worried she would stab someone- a certain someone needs to tell him that Malleus’s staff is just as dangerous.

❄︎ Favorite Food? Salmon.

❄︎ In a fight she’s rather crude- doesn’t care about where your from or your background. In a magic battle one is just another target to be frozen over

❄︎ How she got into Pomefiore? The mirror of course but this choice was also based on her rather timeless seeming appearance. Though Vil also harshly announced he was going to be taking the snow fox before she even got to have her turn!

❄︎ Her eyes are a storm grey and she’s been mistaken as blind a few times because of this- growing up with little sunshine has caused this. Her regular eye color would be purple in a better setting.

❄︎ Floyd bothers her for being short as she’s 5’3. This has caused her to smack him with her magical pen. Gave her the nickname “Cichlid” after the Ram Cichlid as they can be territorial but get along with peaceful fish that don’t pose a threat.

❄︎ Epel and Sugita have a book of roasting Vil. It’s in a lock box so he can’t get too it or else they’d both be in big trouble

❄︎ Sugita is in the Bakery club but she’s the Vice for the Sewing Department in Pomefiore by making sure everything goes on schedule.

❄︎ She’s got a fear of small spaces but also over her memory, her memory skills are kinda poor

❄︎ Sugita lies sometimes about knowing how to read- news flash she barely does. Basics are easy but a full on 10 and above paper or essay don’t ask her to review that for you. Girl has magical glasses for that.

❄︎ Her familiars are snakes - one day I’ll draw them lol. Their names are Shuten, Shuele, and Shutwe they are triplets- you would rarely see them though because they drain a lot of magic.

❄︎ 𝙵𝙰𝙺𝙴 Parents: Brhadvisa and Hitori Yoko (No Relationship)

❄︎ 𝙵𝙰𝙺𝙴 Elder Brother: Subuki Yoko (Neutral Relationship)

❄︎ Some Backstory: Sugita was born to a pretty ruthless family life- there was no such thing as settling down and they were always moved due to her parents beliefs. Being seen as the lag behind due to her rather poor health. A child born of ice and snow. Would be the easiest way to describe Sugita- hot weather is something she can’t handle for long periods of time or locked rooms. Hidden child. The elder brother was seen as a successor to everything whilst her being born was more seen to them as a curse. Arriving in the more mountain regions is where she was dropped off at the tender age of four- a wild child. While she may have a rather tender and sweet looking face she’s as feral compared to a fox being caught in a net. The body has attuned to the cold settling and growing the power of her own magic- she’s rather easy going with animals.

❄︎ Voice Headcanon:

Horie Yui - Japanese

Nicole Gose- English

OKAY I THINK I WENT A BIT OVERBOARD BUT SHES MY BABY AND ALSO SHE HAS A WOLF BREED THAT I MADE UP TOO HIS NAME IS MINO 😭

[true--north]

«As they embark on new adventures through the Frozen universe with friends new and old»

The Northuldra characters at last? Also, "memories of their parents and the sisters' childhood". We may expect some Agduna story and of course, angsty moments of Elsa and Anna behind the closed doors. Pre-F2 Kristanna installment? Elsa in the Forest? I hope so ❄🌻

aurora of flames 

A/N : This is written with the Opposite shipping, Zane x Kai inspired by this post: https://fluffyk97.tumblr.com/post/667640409612271616/girl-help-im-thinking-of-oppositeshipping-angst

• ❄︎ • ❆ • ❅ •

The Never-Realm is bitterly cold, the kind of cold that sinks down into your bones and make your fingers achingly numb.

But the Ice Emperor makes it colder. So, so much colder. A raw, biting chill that settles into your chest and doesn't seem like it'll ever leave, however warm you get afterwards.

And the Ice Emperor doesn't remember anything else, he thinks. His soul's been frozen the day he entered this land, wintry as the arctic. There isn't anything else to feel in this realm. There's only ever been befalling white covering the horizons as far as the eye can see, and that's all there'll ever be. It's in his nature, and he doesn't ever really feel the cold unless he tries to.

But there's something else.

Sometimes, he's reminded of a distant curious sensation. Something that reminds him of the glazed frosty flowers decorating the land whoever he walks. The familiar glow of energy, the power, that he feels for a split second every time he lifts the staff. The dazzling gleam the earliest sunrise brings, reflecting off blank clear ice.

And the hint of golden warmth it brings, if any.

The feeling doesn't linger. Not really. It's washed away all too quickly with breaths of freezing wind out in the open, and the Ice Emperor finds himself sometimes longing for it to stay just a second longer.

He shouldn't. His job is to stay emperor and ruler of the Never-Realm, and everyday more rebels and fighters come up. Vex insists they attack, and put a end of the nonsense. But sometimes he can't bring himself to care.

He does find himself getting up earlier to watch the sunrise, though. Looking out the window for more glimpses of the sun, if only for a second, and grasping the flickers of warmth tight, like every time seeing it is his last.

But every time he sees the daisy yellow light spill over the mountains, he can't help but let himself bask in the feeling, the one highlight of his dreary days in the palace.

It seems colder than ever.

There are attacks against him. All the time, everywhere he goes. But only once do they get close to him.

They skid into the room hurriedly, and hardly has time to catch a breath before he disposes of the human himself with a cold glare, tilting the scepter and freezing the intruder instantaneously.

Their fingers twitch one last time, and a torch falls from their fingers, rolling to his feet silently.

Fire dances at the tip of it, red, orange, blue flames ignited on the glassy floor like a aurora across the sky. It lights a radiant light onto the wall opposite it, colors flickering up and down the faint blue wall glazed with ice.

It's warm, warmer than anything he's ever felt. And the most terrifying thing is that it feels familiar, a emotion he can't identify tugging at chest.

Without thinking, he leans down and touches it, hesitantly. His fingers catch a burst of heat, frost melting and dripping off his wrist.

The exquisite blazing flames melts down into the floor quickly, leaving a small heap of cinders to stain the melting ice. He closes his fist around the lingering warmth, and for the first time, his grip loosens ever so slightly on the staff. Ice splinters around his fingers, and cascades to the floor softly in a shower of frozen slivers.

He closes his eyes, shards of clear frost still falling from his fingers, and catches a inkling of a memory.

Soft hazel hair, and a bright, bright smile.

A flash of the ashy brown eyes, color like burning logs in a fireplace, and nothing at all like the icy blue of his guards. A whisper of a name he can't quite catch, but the sound is comforting like nothing he's ever remembered. Welcoming arms, and a fold of soft crimson cloth. The warmth of the sun, the beauty of the fire, all mixed into one.

A life before this one.

Someone from a place he can't remember, no matter how much he strains.

The Ice Emperor does't think he misses something.

He thinks he misses someone, and it hurts.

❄ Show yourself

I'm no longer trembling

Here I am

I've come so far

You are the answer I've waited for

All of my life

Oh, show yourself

Let me see who you are ❄

The dialogue between Julia and her mother (in "The Girlfriend Project") reminded me a lot of Elsa finding Iduna's memory in Ahtohallan in "Frozen 2" during "Show Yourself". It's kind of the same message, all of Elsa's songs have this message of acceptance and Julia is accepting herself as a lesbian.

Coping with the Holidays

The holiday season can bring about a whole slew of stress and anxiety to many people. It can be depressing, upsetting, or lonely. Here are some techniques we can use to help us get through the holidays when we feel like we want it to be done and over with:

We should set some more realistic expectations about what can be accomplished during this holiday season. Try to establish a balance between what we do for other people and what we need to do for ourselves. Self-care is vital.

If we find that being around family is too stressful, we should set some limits on the amount of time we spend with them.

We should consider sharing the holiday food preparations with our friends and family to help ease the load on ourselves.

If feeling alone and disconnected, we should try and find someone to talk to and spend some time with them, or at the very least a way to connect with friends, family, etc., over the phone.

If religious or spiritual, there are groups or organizations that offer special services that can be attended for people who may be alone during the holidays. This is a great way to meet new people and make new connections.

It's best to avoid temptations to cope with alcohol and other substances in order to relax, especially if dealing with addictions and maintaining sobriety.

Try volunteering your services or time. Food banks and other similar organizations often need help during this time of the year. This is another way to meet new people and make new friends.

Give yourself the permission to feel any sense of loss or strong emotions that can surface during this time. We often feel like we need to suppress them, but it's healthy to just feel them for what they are and be able to acknowledge them.

Do something fun and enjoyable: watch some Christmas movies that make you laugh, bake some cookies, treat yourself to a new book, etc.

If experiencing distress during this time, don't hesitate to contact your doctor or visit your local emergency room to get help. You are not a burden for wanting to be helped with how you're feeling.

If hosting family or friends, keep things as simple as possible to avoid a build-up of stress. If possible, plan in advance or don't be afraid to incorporate some already made food that's frozen or made by a local store/restaurant.

As much as you possibly can, be organized and don't be afraid to delegate tasks to other people involved. Make a list of everything that needs to be taken care of and share the tasks within the family. The whole thing doesn't need to be on you, no matter how much of a perfectionist you want to be. Focus on doing what's most important to you and your family.

Be mindful of overindulging. Try not to have too many drinks since alcohol is considered depressant and may make certain feelings worse. Also be mindful of sweets and other goodies as most people tend to overeat during this time and not exercise enough, which will make you feel lethargic.

Make a budget and stick to it. Finances are easy to get out of hand during this time of year since we feel we need to overspend on things. Also don't feel guilty about not getting everyone on your list something,

Try to find some local activities going on in the community whether they belong to your culture or others. It's great to share traditions!

Consider making your own gifts or encouraging your children to do the same to help save some money. Homemade is also usually more appreciated and meaningful.

If money is tight, consider putting all your family's names in a hat and having each person pick 1 person to buy a gift for instead of having to buy one for every person.

Make sure to have fun! Play some games, watch movies, hug one another, spend time together, and so on. Having fun will help to reduce stress. Create positive memories!

i’d love to see your writing, so deadpan 🙏 feel free to write anything/anyone you want !!

Deadpan: expressionless, to conceal emotion or heighten humour | Handplates WD Gaster | Warnings: restrainment, trauma flashback, just general dark implications but nothing explicit

Random! hey heyy how you been? I don't remember the last time you dropped me an ask, you should do that more often dfdjsk

He positioned the metal plate engraved with his initials on the back of the smaller skeleton’s hand. The child’s eye sockets were wide, brow raised; even without the leather straps, he would likely be frozen in fear.

‘Can you move?’

‘N- NO. IT… IT’S HARD TO BREATHE…’ he replied.

Satisfied, the scientist raised the dull, orange drill, already mounted with a precisely-measured bolt.

‘I… I’M SCARED.’

The taller skeleton flinched. Paused for just a moment as images and sounds flashed across his memory — the screaming, the cries of pain, the clang of metal and sparks of magic, the blaze of fire. The rattling of his own bones as he trembled, his terrified, uneven breathing. Smoke filling the sky. Dust and blood trailing across his hands and the ground. His SOUL thrumming in his ribcage.

He knew fear too well. It had made a home in his SOUL for as long as he could remember, which was a long, long time.

And in this brief moment, he hesitated.

But then he remembered why he was doing this. He remembered his resolve.

He had already prepared himself for the consequences. There was no going back.

There is only one choice. He repeated it like a mantra, if only to convince himself it was true.

‘...Good… You should be scared of me.’

Gaster turned on the drill.

I will not fail.

I would like to personally thank the artist @b4tekt because this particular drawing, and the ones like it were some of the pieces of fanart that solidified my love for the whole Frozen franchise! ❄❄❄❄

I was walking down memory lane recently, particularly my gallery of Frozen concept art, and I remembered Evil/Onion Elsa and all the incredible fanart you made of her! These little comics/photo set thingies were always so adorable and heartwarming and I loved looking at them every day over and over! I loved the idea of Elsa and Anna + Elsa Evil twin (lol) just being able to hang out together and enjoy each other's company after all the hard times they've been through (I got into Frozen directly after F2 came out). Plus I was very lonely back then, so the idea of being able to go out and do things with friends/my sister was always a dream for me 💖

Thank you so much! 😚😚😚😚😚😚

These pieces have to be my favorite frozen fanart of all time ♡

@firefinding asked : "You know I can hear you, right?" <Lost Ice Shell Verse>

IT WAS WEIRD, BEING SO CLEARLY DEAD AND YET... NOT. there really was no way to describe what he was now. a ghost ?? no, he wasn't dead. an apparition ?? also not exactly, because he didn't have a body to wake up in like mavis. in all honesty, he tried not to think about it all that much, opting instead to focus more on the positives of his predicament. he didn't know if he should thank zeref or curse him to the grave for what had happened. a shadow in the guild hall, watching all those who he gave everything up to protect going about their lives. it was almost a double edged sword, knowing the spell had worked because none of them were grieving, but also knowing that any memory of his truly was gone.

SO, GRAY JUST WATCHED FROM THE SHADOWS. he wasn't sure where he got the notion that one of them could see or hear him, but in the six months he has been hanging around, no one had glanced his way or commented on his presence, so maybe it was just the logical assumption. he didn't mind it though, happy to just act like he had in his life, watching the others get into trouble and muttering snarky comments to himself, not expecting an answer to them.

EXCEPT SOMEONE DID. NATSU.

THE ICE MAGE FELT HIS HEART DROP AT NATSU'S WORDS. at first he had assumed the dragon was talking to someone else, making a jab at someone else's remark on his antics, but when he glanced up and saw black eyes staring directly at him, he felt his body tense up. natsu heard him ?? no. there's no way natsu could see or hear him.

❝ you... what ??

A dream we can reach but not quite hold.

The summary on the entity that was hidden behind the events of Frozen.

❄For the first time we hear about Ahtohallan from Iduna, in her words about the secret river which contains the memory of the past, answers to all questions and about "what we are a part of". But in All Is Found we hear that it is not just a river, but also a magical person.

"She will sing for those who hear, and in her song all magic flows".

And indeed, much later, only Elsa and the Spirits, the creatures related to magic could hear that magical song.

❄Going on that fateful voyage, Iduna already realized that she was looking not just for the simple river, but for the one who is in it.

"Instead, I keep my eyes on the sea. Looking for her.

In some ways, I’ve spent my entire life looking for her. And tonight, my journey may finally come to an end. Unfinished. Unfound.

Ahtohallan. Please! I need you!

Perhaps she never existed at all. Perhaps she was simply a myth. A silly song to lull children to sleep. To make them feel safe and secure in a world that’s anything but. Perhaps I was a fool to think we could simply go and seek her out. Learn the mother’s secrets.

I do know something about a mother's secrets."

❄In this passage we see that Ahtohallan can be called a mother. "There's a mother full of memory". These lyrics from All is Found refer not only to the memory of Iduna, which Elsa will see later, but also to Ahtohallan herself.

Ahtohallan is also called the mother of Spirits:

"The four spirits: earth, fire, water, and wind—each with the powers to help the Northuldra with their daily lives, so long as we respected them and their mother, the mighty river Ahtohallan."

❄It is stated that Ahtohallan herself is also a spirit.

"Ahtohallan. The one spirit still out there. Somewhere. If only there was a way to find her."

"It’s a Northuldra song about a spirit—the mother of all the other spirits".

"And you think if we were to go there, to this spirit, it would be able to provide us answers about Elsa? Agnarr asked."

❄Young Iduna believed that Ahtohallan can know not only the past, but also the future.

"Like it or not, I was going to Arendelle. But as to whether it would be okay? Only Ahtohallan knows".

And Ahtohallan really showed Iduna the future, showed her her daughters in the future.

"I just…I thought I saw something in the water. Was it a vision from Ahtohallan?"

❄Aurora, the performer of the voice of Ahtohallan noted that this voice is older than people.

"I'm that Voice, calling Elsa out to her true purposes on her life. My character in the movie is not human at all. It's kind of both more ancient than humankind, and bigger than people could ever become except for Elsa."

Her role is also called "Voice of the North Wind", so this is also the title of Ahtohallan. "Where the North Wind meets the Sea".

❄Iduna, after many years of searching among ancient folklore and myths realized that it was Ahtohallan that was the source of magic in general, and Elsa's magic in particular. "Magic source. Elsa's source" she came to the conclusion.

"It’s a glacier. Glaciers are rivers of ice.”

“Ahtohallan is…frozen?” he asked, eyes wide.

I shrugged. “It's the only thing that makes sense.”

And indeed, it makes sense of everything, and is the answer Elsa's been looking for.

Elsa has the power of winter, snow and ice because she was gifted with the power of Ahtohallan at birth. Power of Ahtohallan relates to glaciers, ice and cold, because she as a spirit is/in the Glacier. And Elsa has power over nature as well because Ahtohallan had power over it. As Ahtohallan once controlled the Spirits of Nature, so now Elsa can do the same.

In the Shipwreck Manuscript that holds the key for the lore of Frozen, we can see how Ahtohallan (the female pictogram) creates nature, animals and people with the help of the Nature Spirits; and then, in the fifth row, transfers her powers to another female pictogram, without an aura–to the Fifth Spirit. This power of ice-the Fifth Element-is huge, because it not only controls other Elements, but can also create living creatures and many amazing things-because it is the power of Ahtohallan, who once at the very beginning did it too.

❄Only the Spirits and Elsa could hear the Call of Ahtohallan, because they and Elsa's gift came from Ahtohallan-she was their source, as Iduna remarked.

In one of the promotion books of Frozen 2, it was said that the Voice speaks to the part of Elsa that is magical. Also, her magical part allowed Elsa to feel that this is a good One calling her. This call–kulning song–is very special. Gale, the Spirit of Air taught Iduna to it when she was a child.

This is the spiritual song, and Ahtohallan awakened this song from the memories to call Elsa, a homeward bound, to come back home and to be found. But it was not mere a memory of the cry that Iduna called Gale on the day she saved Agnarr. It extends further than that short chant, the Voice interacts with Elsa in a way that Iduna's song has never done. Ahtohallan herself joins Iduna's song, magically singing in unison for those who can hear.

❄When the Leader of Northuldra, Yelana, meets Elsa, she says: "Why would Nature reward a person from Arendelle with magic?" To which Lieutenant Matthias replies: "It's possible to make up for the actions of your people."

Therefore, Ahtohallan is also synonymous with Nature, and her magic is the magic of Nature that Honeymaren mentioned in her conversation with Elsa. The mist wall, the snow that remained from Olaf-everything was marked with this Magic of Nature–blue light, the same light that distinguishes Elsa's magic when she doing it.

❄In the ancient manuscript of Northuldra, it is clear that the appearance of the Fifth Spirit was predicted and predetermined long before what happened at the Dam, when Ahtohallan punished the people who defiled her Forest. It was at "The end of ice age. River found but lost" as Iduna wrote.

For an act of evil that people committed, Ahtohallan deprived Northuldra of the gifts of nature (what happened later to Arendelle too), and the Nature Spirits turned against them and the Arendellian soldiers. But for the act of love and kindness performed by Iduna, the daughter of one of the oldest families of Northuldra (I assume this is a hint that Iduna's family was special, perhaps shamanic before) Ahtohallan chose one person, a person who can atone for the evil of the past thanks to her vocation and special abilities.

Ahtohallan gifted Iduna's firstborn, making the child an incarnation of her own powers so that the firstborn would mediate between two realms of being, magical and earthly. To be "the bridge between magic of Nature and us" us Honeymaren said.

❄Only Elsa, hearing the Call of Ahtohallan, that is also Iduna from the past could come to her and know all the secrets, and find out why she was chosen. There we have a beautiful, haunting, almost a love song of Show Yourself, that Elsa sang for the one she was waiting for all of her life. She instantly felt home there, because she felt her own energy–the energy of Ahtohallan that lives in her.

❄This sign-four rhombuses and a place in the center is not only the sign of the Fifth Spirit embroidered on Iduna's Shawl, but also the sign of Ahtohallan herself. It was revealed in the sky three times: the first time when Ahtohallan closed the Forest with a mist wall. The second time was when Elsa awakened the Forest by answering the Call in Into the Unknown. And the third time, when the Dam broke.

However, even when Elsa had already come deeper in to the Glacier, Ahtohallan did not reveal herself visibly to be more than a magical light. She has remained a mysterious dream that we can reach, but cannot hold.

The spirit of Ahtohallan allowed to see who she is only in a hidden symbolic form: the light, the snowflake-like symbol, the awakened memory.

When Elsa asked "Show yourself, I'm ready to learn" and sang again, calling Ahtohallan, a flash of light flashed from inside the walls of the Glacier, leading Elsa to the main Hall, where then the light created a sign of the Fifth Spirit for Elsa to come and take her place of the higher calling–then Elsa was transformed into the Fifth Spirit with the help of that magical light.

So the visible manifestations of Ahtohallan as a spirit: the magical light and the snowflake-like sign of the magic of nature.

The light appeared four times: The first time Elsa sang and interacted with the Voice in Into the Unknown–then a flash of light flew North, showing Elsa the way. The second time was when Northuldra sang a song in the Forest, finding out that Elsa is Northuldra. For the third time, the light of Ahtohallan led Elsa across the Glacier. And the fourth time it was visible when the frost was removed from Elsa.

❄When the dam broke and the curse was redeemed, Ahtohallan, showing mercy to Arendelle for Anna and Elsa's good deeds, defrosted Elsa and called Nokk, the Spirit of Water, to raise Elsa to the surface and help her save the capital of Arendelle, which was forgiven and given to Anna as a reward.

Summing up, we can say with certainty that such a mysterious Spirit as we see in the story, secretly existing behind the scenes of the story is none other than the Nature Goddess of Frozen. The glacial heart of the world of Frozen, the friend they had always known, who called them home to her so that they could see heaven clearly again.

17. What does their gateway look like prior to their memory loss?  What does it look like afterwards?

Before: His gate way was a frozen waste land where blizzards never stop and you can see almost nothing around you. There in the middle of it theres a small cabin with a fire and the smell of food. You can hear creatures howling and something taller then trees and mountians moving. 🌑

After: There is no more blizard. Everything is clear. Sparkling snow on the open vally between a wide circle of mountains. The sky is full of constellations, huge moons, and sometimes glowing lights. The sound of howling now sounds like wolves singing a tune. Flowers peak out from the snow at the base of mountians. 🌕

Sounds promising ❄ But a little bit like the Forest of Shadows (in a good way) The theme of Northern Polar Nights is so beautiful! And the theme of memory is one of the main in Frozen 📜 I hope for the wedding hints, and maybe something about Kristoff's past? And of course, old good Frohana. The cover art is incredible.
