A Solution
I think about how much I can understand Jack's life, how he grew up and how he lived.
But what use would that information be if I can't return to see the present Jack. I thought I'd disappear but I am stuck in the past. Aimless. I have no direction to go.
"What are you thinking about Angel?" Jaspar asks.
"I don't belong here. I must return home, but I am trapped here." I answer, staring at the ground.
"There are plenty of ways to return to Heaven. But I won't help you, I will gain nothing." He tells me.
"I didn't expect you to!" I pout, I leave his training area and trudge through the charcoal looking floor. If this was some other land I would try to find a witch of some sort, but there are so many con merchants and demons who you will think that will help you but are scams.
I believe around this time, angels would visit Hell more often than the present time. Why? I am not sure. But in this past it's unlikely to see an angel.
I walk enter through a laneway market. Demons yelling promising items which would help me return.
"Communicate with the dead with this enchanted ring!" One would yell.
"Get another 100 years in your life with this medallion!" Another would shout.
It sounds to good to be true. I sigh, every demon would be eyeing my feathers in hope of bargaining with me.
It feels like a con. Every single one of those stalls.
"Something isn't right here." I hear and old female say, "There's a misplacement in time."
I turn to face the old lady. She was a frail demon, she had silver hair and pure black eyes. The complexion of her skin was pale but a hint of blue.
"You." She points to me, "You must leave."
"Yes. I must. But I don't know how." I explain, "Please help me return to my present."
The lady strokes her chin, "With those feathers, I will agree."
I nod enthusiastically.
I follow the lady to her house, it was a small tiny cottage made out of sticks and glue.
"I will try to find a way for you return..." The lady says, "But I must leave for work."
"A frail lady like you shouldn't work." I say.
"It's not much effort, my pupil mostly self-learns." She says.
"Pupil?" I ask.
"Yes, I am a tutor. For a royal contender, so I can't call her a princess just yet. But I am sure she will be one, with her extreme intelligence." The lady explains.
"Jenx..." I mutter to myself.
"Correct." She responds, "But I also specialise in witchery and the spiritual arts, I studied in the mortal world."
"Wow, you have lived your immortal life well." I compliment her.
"Well I have to prevent a new hell being born. And Jack as an heir I must educate Jenx with all I have." She tells me.
... What?

Jack POV
"... It's no good. We won't find her." Jenx tells me for the 20th time.
"Stop it. We can find her." I shush her.
"Well your distraction is gone. You can live life normally, and focus on ruling hell." She tells me.
"I am responsible for her. I just want to make sure she is back by my side." I respond, "I never knew you were this stupid. You seriously can't think of a way to rescue her."
"...."
"Wait." I halt, "You do know a way. You have multiple. Why aren't you telling me?"
"Because it's a pain. I don't want to help." She tells me and crosses her arms, "Messing with worlds like that will mess with present worlds. You need clear and precise procedures."
"Don't give me that. Give me ideas." I demand.
Jenx sighs, "Who is the most powerful beings after God?" She asks.
"... Demons?"
"No you fool." She replies, "Prophets are. Since they have such power they have access and power to move between worlds. If we find Rapunzel, she might be able to conduct a search and find Elsa."
"Good work Jenx!" I praise her, "I knew you had something. But don't ever hide things from me again, because that'll be wasting time."
"Do you want me to just let time tick in Elsa's world?" Jenx says in a dark voice, "You have no direction without me so you will be walking in circles."
I stay silent.
"You may be future ruler but you have nothing real to offer to the throne." Jenx smiles maliciously.
"Are you done?" I ask and her eyes widen, "Once you've gotten the opportunity to get real power you're so up yourself you know that right?"
Jenx scrunches her face getting infuriated.
"I don't think Snow would've wanted that." I say.
Her face softens and and in shock she looks to the floor, looking for a reflection.
"I will be taking my leave now, I'd appreciate your help if it was on good intentions." I tell her and turn around looking for the right direction.
I'll find you Elsa. I'll make sure of it.
