The Lost Fruits

-----------------------------------------

China - The White Hills - Night time

-----------------------------------------

Making their way between the mountain range, in a hurry before the snow acc.u.mulate and rises up off the ground making it harder for them to move, The Hun army Investigating squad with Shan Yu as it's leader.

"My lord, we are about to reach the White valley, we should take cover there before proceeding any further." Su Lee, Shan Yu's most trusted servant spoke. Shan Yu nodded and urged everyone to hurry up. Eventually, the reached the valley and looked at the hills where the expulsion of fire came from.

Shan Yu's eyes scanned like a hawk, in front of them, flames were eating everything in its way, but strangely, it seems not to be moving "There...In the middle." He pointed. Everyone looked at where he mentioned but all they could see was yellow flames. Snow was melted, green turned black, life turned death.

"I don't think we can see as far as you, my lord." Su Lee said as he tried as hard as he can to look for anything.

"Follow me." Shan Yu said, "Leave the horses." Everyone descended from their horses and walked behind Shan Yu, when they walked between the flames, they started to panic, but only Shan Yu was calm. three men were eaten by the flames, only their agonizing screams could be heard as the path they came from was blocked by yellow flames. They were surrounded.

"My lord, this is dangerous! This is not a normal fire!" Su Lee stuck close to Shan Yu with the other men.

"We are close." Shan Yu said. He kept leading his men inside the flames, his eyes were focusing on one destination. Two more men were swallowed by fire.

Then Shan Yu stopped, in front of him is a tall tree, burned black with smoke raising up "Hoo...What do we have here?" He looked at the only thing not burned on the tree. An orange fruit hanging from the lowest branch. it had flame-shaped components with swirl patterns on each one, and has a swirled stem that connects it to the burned tree.

Shan Yu reaches for it and tear it off the tree to hold it in his hand "Don't my lord! that thing is dangerous!!" Su Lee shouted. It is very strange! that thing is dangerous! everything is on fire and only that fruit is safe, and look at that shape, it's like it is cursed. He thought.

Shan Yu smirked "Hot..." he mumbled. He felt the fruit on his palm and found it is Hot like a cooking pot that was on fire for hours. Still, Shan Yu didn't feel pain at all. If this heat can hurt him, then he can just go back and forget about taking over china.

Shan Yu tightened his grip on the fruit and looked at it menacingly; following that, the fire around them started dying down. Their friends' corpses were thrown out, burned black like coral. Su Lee and the other felt disgusted at the sight. "It seems like it has control over fire, this one." Shan Yu smirked and laughed off as he noticed the faint glow that came out of the fruit before the fire died down.

"Let us return. We are done here." Shan Yu commanded, he took out his bag and put the fruit inside it 'I will see what to do with this later on.' he thought.

"Yes! my lord." Su Lee and the others ran back to the horses and came back with Shan Yu's horse. The squad, although, short on fire people returned to the camp as the first ray of sunlight shined on the white covered earth.

North - Arendelle - Dawn

-------------------------

Snow was covering the land of Arendelle, at the King's castle. Its lord and monarch was watching the sky with his queen wife after a good night of sleep. It was time to start running the kingdom, especially in the winter.

"Honey, are you still thinking about what we talked about last night?" Queen Iduna traced her hand on her king's face. He held her soft hand and smiled.

"Yes...Elsa's magic is growing...I think we should visit the forest for answers, her powers are getting out of control." The King's smile turned into a frown the more he thought about it.

"I understand...But we can't just leave like this, the trip to the enchanted first will be difficult and long. The kids will be all alone." His Queen spoke with pain, she understands more than him what her daughter is going through and she too can't bear to see her daughter's panic and terrified expressions anymore.

"How about the Chinese, I have heard the emperor was looking for talented magicians...Or the Arabs? they have sorcerers there too, Maybe we can borrow some of their knowledge regarding magic. The enchanted forest can't be the only answer." The Queen spoke. She looked at the sunrise with hope together with her Husband.

"Yes...We can at least try." King Agnarr chuckled and thanked the God for his wife. Without her, he might have gone crazy with all of this going on around him.

At that moment and before their own very eyes, they saw a huge blue line in the sky illuminating the still-dark city under them "Wh?!!" Agnarr froze in his place looking at the thundering meteor.

Loud noises and came from the city as some of the guard and early raising citizens saw this too. They all looked at it with dread and fear.

"What is that?!!" His wife saw the flashing light go past their kingdom and Ocean going far north "is this a star fall?" she trembled. She hoped it was. But she felt from that falling star an overwhelming feeling of dread.

"AI hopes so, I really do..." Her husband held her tight trying to calm her in his arms and asked.

"This is abnormal...." she mumbled. Her eyes shifted to her husband "Agnarr! send scouts, contact your friends in the north and ask them about it, see where it has fallen." She said seriously.

"I will." He responded and left for his office to send ravens and eagles to his childhood friends.

The Blue falling star kept on going up in the sky, wherever it went, people witnessed it and felt fear. It kept on going until it reached a lone island in the vast ocean and fell there and unlike its Red brother it did not burn or destroy anything. It just fell and took that Island as his home.
