The young Northuldra had never encountered such a decision in front of her, since she had been told that she was sensitive to things that other people had not she had been surprised by it, but it was nothing that would have affected her daily life, or her years of growth, but this time... this time the girl knew that the decision she was about to make would define the rest of her life.

"Do it." Honeymaren was pleasantly surprised to hear her beloved's voice behind her back after a few minutes in solitude, as she got up and turned she saw her standing at the door frame, then Elsa walked to her and both hugged affectionately.

"You saved me again." Elsa whispered, and then they separated.

"I'm afraid... both times she was the one who saved you, I couldn't have freed myself in time to catch up with you in the woods, and this time you were too far away to even hope to get there in time.

"Maybe she took care of the specific actions, but you were behind every situation, for me you'll always be my savior," Elsa said, holding her partner's hands.

"Thank you...." Said Honeymaren blushing. "I suppose you have a lot of doubts," she added as they let go of their hands.

"I met The Ancient One in front of the huge window when I left the room, she introduced herself, put her hand on my forehead and made me see everything you had talked about until she left you here, so... we know the same thing," Elsa said nervously.

"And... do you think that I... Should?

"Absolutely." Elsa said, holding Honeymaren's hands and looking into her eyes. "You are the most wonderful girl I have ever met, you can be sweet and strong, fun and responsible, and beyond that I know that there is no one with a heart as pure and a spirit as strong as yours... you can do it." Elsa added, then let go of Honeymaren's hands and hugged her tightly. Both lasted for a time like this, in a hug full of affection, and wrapped in the warm feeling of their bodies Honeymaren got convinced of her decision.

"I'm going to do it." Honeymaren said, excited about what those words involved, and then quickly stole a kiss from her girlfriend.

"That's good!... fantastic!" Elsa said a little nervous because of the surprise kiss.

"Come with me, I must tell The Ancient One!" The young Northuldra said, holding hands with the blushing Snow Queen and carrying her with her.

"I will." Honeymaren said, meeting The Ancient One in front of the huge window of the sanctuary.

"Magnificent, early tomorrow we will begin your training, you better be ready." The woman said, as if she had never doubted the girl's response or what they were about to begin.

"Ready, am I going to train too?" Elsa asked confused.

"From the moment Null knew you existed you became part of this, it would be negligent of me not to teach you at least to defend yourself from its influence and power; I also doubt you could leave Honeymaren alone against danger, even if she asked you to, so if you're going to be in the front line, you better be prepared." The Ancient One said, in her same serene and trusting tone as usual.

The girls saw each other for a few seconds as they understood what The Ancient One had just asked them.

"Feel free to explore the sanctuary, I'll see you early tomorrow in the tenth floor training room." The Ancient One said, and then retired to the left wing hallway, where she apparently had her room.

The girls toured the sanctuary until late at night, becoming acquainted with its rooms as well as some new artifacts that seemed to be part of the daily life and a few more magical looking things that they preferred not to touch; The Ancient One didn't show up for the rest of the day, but there would be time for questions later, and beyond that, together in that exciting new place the two spent a magnificent afternoon.

"This place is awesome." Honeymaren said excitedly closing the door behind when they finally returned to their room.

"Yes it is, I had never seen anything like it, not even in the books my parents brought me from every Kingdom they visited," Elsa said, sitting on the bed.

Honeymaren sat next to her companion and sighed.

"What's going on?" Elsa asked, holding the hand of the young Northuldra.

"All this... brings so many doubts to my mind... do you really think I'm the right one?"

"Yes, I really do." Elsa said animatedly and then let go of Honeymaren's hand. "Also," continued Elsa in a softer and more intimate tone "if someone is to take care of our dimension against doom and darkness... I'd feel safe...," Elsa said, bringing her face closer to her girlfriend's face "Knowing it's you."

The Snow Queen finished the sentence and then closed her eyes, touching her beloved's lips with hers, feeling her warmth, her disposition, and then her desire in the response of her mouth, in the shudder of her body. Both girls separated their lips a few seconds without separating their bodies, looking into their eyes, as if looking to confirm in the look of the other what they were about to do... a little look was enough. At that moment both surrendered to the passion of the moment. The clothes of the young Northuldra began to accumulate on the floor, snatched from their owner by the agile hands of the Snow Queen as the magical layers of her own clothes gave way to the stimulating touch of the girl who was about to become a sorceress, giving way for her common clothes, base for her creations, to be exposed to being removed too by the dexterous touch of her hands. Soon there was nothing standing in the way of the passionate touch of their bodies, Honeymaren's curious and fervent hands explored resolutely the body of her beloved among waves of pleasant pulses that discharged the tension of an expectant young woman; the couple's legs, intertwined intimately in harmonious swaying expressed a sea of sensations that not even the most fluid muse in the literary arts could have described and Elsa's hands, which contained the agitated touch of the heat of the moment and the cold of her powers spread across the body of the one whom she was in love with, wishing intimately that the gentle touch of her caresses could make her feel the fervent liberation whose desire ran through her being thanks to her. Meanwhile, their lips, initially caught in the sweet elixir resulting from their kisses agreed a momentary departure to explore the vast and insinuating landscloak of their bodies, unleashing a recurring cycle of rhythmic displays of emotion when they found a place of particular sensitivity. For a time, the young couple gave themselves completely, stripping body and soul for the other, merging their being in a way that only the purest love can achieve.

Knocks on the door of the room woke the couple the next morning.

"Wake up! It's time to start training!" The Ancient One shouted.

"We're coming!" Honeymaren replied, sitting on the bed.

"Just give us fifteen minutes." Said Elsa, even more asleep than young Northuldra, grabbing Honeymaren's body as a support to get up.

"You have five." Answered The Ancient One and then walked down the corridor.

Elsa sighed, trying to settle her messy hair.

"If I knew we were going to have to get up so early, I wouldn't have allowed you to make me stay awake so late, I feel exhausted...," Elsa said, dropping back on the bed when Honeymaren got up and burying her face on her girlfriend's unoccupied pillow. "Mmm... smells like your hair." Elsa said, getting comfortable again.

"You allowed me!?" Said Honeymaren smiling "I wasn't the one who started again with the caresses after we were done." The young woman added, drawing a heart with her finger on the soft skin of Elsa's exposed back.

"I know you enjoyed it, remember? Magic hands?" Elsa said without lifting herself from the pillow, just raising her hand in the air in a gesture of victory and creating a fleeting blizzard as if it were fireworks.

"Oh, you're the worst." Honeymaren said, and then laid on Elsa's back, enjoying a few more minutes of that unparalleled sense of peace that the warmth of her skin against hers made her feel.

A few minutes passed and then the knocks on the door came back.

"Time's up! Don't make me bring you with a portal! The Ancient One said, speaking in a higher tone.

The girls reacted faster this time because of the surprise and because they had fallen asleep again without wanting to.

"Where's my... you know?" Asked Elsa worriedly gathering her clothes with one hand while with the other she held the sheet in which she was wrapped.

"I don't know... have you seen my other boot?" Asked Honey, quickly gathering her clothes on the bed, not bothering to cover herself.

"I told you not to throw things like that." Said Elsa, bending down with difficulty to look under the bed.

"I'm sorry, it was the heat of the moment." Said Honeymaren sitting on the bed and starting to get dressed.

"It's not the first time you've done it, besides..." Said Elsa as she tripped over the sheet while she got up and fell to the floor wrapped in it, freezing the ground around her a bit.

"Are you all right?" Asked Honeymaren half dressed, peeking out over the bed.

"I am not." Said Elsa, apparently trapped by the way she became entangled in the sheet.

Honeymaren just smiled, came down on the other side of the bed and bent over.

"I don't know why you're covering yourself, there's nothing I haven't seen." Said Honeymaren smiling, tickling Elsa's exposed feet.

"Stop it, let me go!" Said Elsa laughing, freezing a bit more around her and slightly frosting Honeymaren's fingertips.

"You're so pretty when you're helpless." Said the young Northuldra, moving a little from her position, then she took one side of Elsa's sheet and pulled, breaking the surface ice and helping her to free herself.

"Thank you." Said Elsa standing again, in a delicate tone of voice like a spoiled girl who doesn't like anything.

"Oh, it happened again." Said Elsa, back to normal taking Honeymaren's hands with hers as they were slightly icy and accidentally dropping the sheet, the girl tried to kneel down quickly to pick it up, but Honeymaren would not let go of her hands, preventing her from doing so.

"Why this sudden desire to cover yourself? what's different today? did I do something wrong? Asked Honeymaren.

"No, of course not, it's because of The Ancient One... I have a feeling that she might actually take us through a portal as punishment for being late... I don't want her to see me like this." Said Elsa.

Honeymaren just smiled, holding her gaze, a sweet look, full of understanding. A few seconds later little drops that began to fall at her feet brought them back to reality.

"Oh, your hands, I'm sorry, I covered them in ice again," said Elsa as she watched the ice on the girl's fingers melt.

"You don't have to worry, it's superficial and doesn't hurt a bit, I've got used to it, the cold coming from you has never felt uncomfortable." Said Honeymaren as she released Elsa's hands and then with one easy hand movement she removed the little frost that remained.

"I am relieved to hear it, my magic hurt Anna in the past, I was worried that the same could happen to you."

"I don't know why it is different, maybe it's because your control of magic has increased, but whatever the reason I'm glad it is." Said Honeymaren, moving the sheets from the bed and then sitting on it.

"Yes, it is." Said Elsa, a little more relaxed, picking up her sheet.

"You can make clothes, why don't you just do it?"

"I can, but doing it from scratch is difficult and unsafe, I prefer to use something real as a base in case of any... failure." Said Elsa, slightly flushed.

"Better to be careful then." Said Honeymaren, throwing the missing garment to Elsa.

"Where...?"

"It was behind the bedside table."

"Oh thank you," said Elsa, and then she threw away the sheet and started to dress while Honeymaren finished dressing.

Finally, once Elsa had put on the clothes she was wearing as a base she re-created her dress over those, ready to go.

"You look as pretty as ever." Said the young Northuldra as she tucked her hair into a ponytail.

"Aren't you going to braid your hair as usual?"

"There's no time, as you said The Ancient One wants us out there as soon as possible, this will work."

Once both girls were ready they left the room and Elsa froze the lock.

"What are you doing?" Asked Honeymaren.

"The room is a mess, i don't want anyone to see it like this."

"Oh Snowflake..." Said Honey, kissing her girlfriend on the cheek. "It's nice how you care about such simple things." She added and then walked on, leaving Elsa blushing behind.

"Hey, hey, wait for me!" Said Elsa, running to catch up with her.
