Anna looked up at the sparkling summit of Miner’s Mountain. If she squinted her eyes just so, she thought she could make out the mystic’s tower. But it was so high up and so far away that from where she stood it looked more like a chimney that had been stuck on top of a roof rather than a tower on a mountain. It would take days to climb all that distance.

For people who didn’t have a magical sister, that is.

Elsa waited for Kristoff and Anna to step off the frozen river before she did so herself. As soon as Elsa was on the bank, the ice cracked, and blue water began to flow once more. With a twirl of Elsa’s hand, Anna’s ice skates melted away to reveal her boots beneath, but Anna hardly realized it because of the great whirlwind that kicked up around her, snow climbing into the air higher and higher, until solidifying into a grand icy staircase.

Elsa had done it again. While the staircase of ice was long and ever so high, with nothing but a curving, slender handrail, it would be much easier to navigate than a treacherous and tedious rocky trail. There must have been at least a thousand steps in the ice staircase—Anna couldn’t be bothered to count. Either way, they were going to climb it, because, at the very top, answers were waiting for them.

“Classic,” Kristoff said to Elsa.

“Thanks,” she replied.

One step, then another, they ascended.

At first, Anna didn’t bother holding on to the fragile railing, but about two-thirds of the way to the top, she looked down and gripped it tight. The staircase was clear as glass, and Anna—though brave—wasn’t entirely comfortable with the sight of her feet seemingly dangling above thin air. From this height, the pines seemed to shrink, smaller and smaller and smaller. As they moved up, the sun moved down.

At long last, in the blazing sunset, they reached the top. From there, the tower was much taller than Anna had realized—and much more jumbled. The rocks that made up the tower seemed to be haphazardly arranged, and certain stones seemed to be on the verge of slipping out of place. In fact, the tower did not look unlike the staggered piles of books Anna had left in the library. Elsa reached the door to the tower first, and paused. Her hand remained still, raised out in front of her, as if she couldn’t decide whether she should knock.

Anna pulled her cloak to her chest as the wind sang around them. “What’s wrong?”

“What do I say?” Elsa asked.

“You knock and say hi, and we’ll go from there,” Kristoff called. “Hurry.”

“What Kristoff said,” Anna said, watching the sun sink over the horizon.

Elsa threw back her shoulders and knocked.

Then the three of them stared at the door and waited, but nothing happened. Was no one home? The thought filled Anna with a heavy dread. They had come all this way, and Sorenson was not there.

Elsa knocked again. Nothing.

“Stand back,” Kristoff said.
