"Hiccup, fly slower! Bear can't follow his speed!" Mérida shouted at Hiccup, in the top of the queue. They were flying during five days and a half, and the sunset was seen in the horizon.
Hiccup indicated Toothless to lower his speed, and he situated next to Mérida. Astrid and Kristoff were flying behind them, and there were two more woman flying with them.
"Mérida, if we don't hurry up, the night will come and we won't be on time" he smiled to her. She nodded resignedly, and all of them increased their speed. The wind was whistling in their ears and the cold of the last signs of the winter seeped between their riding clothes.
Soon, the night arrived, but none of them stopped their dragons. The had to hurry up. A huge isle was seen by Kristoff in the distance, filled with more and more trees. His face lit up.
"Guys, we're here!" he shouted happily, he was tired and he wanted to sleep.
All of the heads there looked at the front and soon they saw it too. Hiccup uttered a cry of joy and he stood up in his dragon's back.
"Alright, when we arrive there, we'll sleep and rest a bit. Tomorrow morning we'll leave to the Blue Pond" he sentenced, and all of them nodded in agreenment.

Jackson then started laughing very hard and let go of Emma. She breathed deeply and punched him hard in his shoulder.
"Ouch!" he said stroking his shoulder. "That was not fair!"
"Of course it was fair" she laughed at him with a proud face. Jackson laughed with her, but... Suddenly, they heard a 'crack' below their feet. They looked shocked at each other and then down to the ice. Below Emma's skates, a circle of ice was cracking.
Jackson noticed it, and he was scared. Very scared. Emma looked at him with tears in her eyes. He took off his skates kneeling down in the ice.
"It's okay, it's okay" he tried to calm her down, gesturing with his hands. "Don't look down, just... look at me"
She looked shocked still, widen eyes, trying not to move.
"Jack, I'm scared" she looked down again and the ice cracked even more below her skates.
"I know, I know" Jackson looked at her, and he stood up in a hurry. But with his first step, ice started cracking below his foot too. He gasped softly and then he smiled to Emma. "But you're gonna be alright, you're not gonna fall in" he started thinking how to distract her. Then, his face lit up. "We're gonna have a little fun, instead"
"No, we're not!" Emma yelled at him, almost crying. The cuts in the ice were spreading more and more around them, making horrible sounds for Jackson's ears. He was approaching to her slowly and carefully.
"Would I trick you?" he smirked at her rising an eyebrow.
"Yes, you always play tricks!"
He laughed at her comment and he kneeled down again.
"Wow, well, n-not this time" he approached her a bit. "I promise, I promise, you're gonna be..." he sighed at the same time Emma looked into his eyes, hopefully. "You're gonna be fine" he paused a bit. His head was working fast and thinking of a plan the best he could. "You have to believe in me"
Emma kept looking at him, and she sighed, trusting.
"Do you wanna play a game?" he stood up. "We're gonna play hopscotch, like we play everyday" he looked around, looking for something that he could use to hold Emma. Then, he saw a long staff ended with a 'g' form. He smiled to himself, hopefully. "This is as easy as..."he stepped forward carefully, in the staff's direction. "One..." more ice cracked below his feet, and he made a face of displeasure, frightened. Soon he noticed it and he smiled to Emma. She started to laugh. "Two..." he stepped forward again, making Emma laugh harder. He jumped fast forward. "And three!" he kneeled down, and slowly, he picked up the staff, never moving away his eyes of Emma. "Okay... Now's your turn"
He approached the staff to her. Emma looked down to her feet and took a step forward, swallowing with her skate, gasping in fear.
"One..."
The ice still cracking, she could almost felt the coldest water embracing her in a death hug.
"Two..." she took another step quickly, and the staff wrapped around her waist. "Three!" Jackson pulled her hard and threw her away. She hit the ground the same as Jackson, but she raised her head to see that all was alright. They looked at each other, and they smiled, relieved.
But what Jackson didn't know, is that he was standing up in the place Emma was.
They laughed at each other, but suddenly Jackson felt how the ice was sinking below his feet.
A roar was heard.
"Jack!" Elsa yelled, landing in the shore of the pond, gotting off the dragon, and running to reach him. The last that Jackson could hear and see was Elsa running to him in a hurry, yelling his name.
The last thing he could see was water around him, and the hole in the ice above him. And the moon. He saw the moon shining. Shining up there, in the sky he wouldn't see anymore.
But the last thing he could feel was cold.
