Kristoff walked away from the docks, proud to have made his final sale of the month. It was the end of summer, and soon the winter would be coming. No one wants to buy ice in the winter, not even the salesman from the Southern Isles.

As the iceman (Kristoff) walked through town, he watched the swirl of people entering and leaving the castle. The gates were open again, and the entire kingdom was more lively because of it. He couldn't remember the last time the gates had stayed open for so long. It was just before the Trolls took him in, before he saw the princess for the first time.

The first night Kristoff saw the two princesses was at the troll valley, after one had apparently been hit with some sort of magic. He witnessed the smaller one, Anna, have her memories taken away; while Elsa was guided on how fear could be dangerous. From what he had gathered, Elsa had powers of ice.

Kristoff walked towards the royal stables, thinking on his first night with the trolls. If the queen had had ice powers back then, she must have powers now. Is that why the gates were closed for so long? He mulled this, revelation, of sorts over as he opened Sven's stall up.

"Hey there, Sven" He said, more to himself than anyone else. "Hello, Buddy." Kristoff replied to himself.
"How were the stables?"
"Lonely. But we can go now, right?"
"Yup. I just need to unhook your bridle" Kristoff said to himself as he untied Sven's bridle and walked him out of the stables.

Just as the pair were moving away from the palace, Kristoff saw something very peculiar. He saw the queen touch a window (without her signature gloves on), just as the window began to cover in frost. He was right: The queen has ice powers.
