The logic behind all of Auradon's common sense was insane. The kings and queens of the state-like country had cut all ties with Arendelle and declared war on the sovereign nation without actually finding out the truth of the nation's affairs. They had good, but misguided intentions. They only saw the Queen of the country as a villain once the news reached them. It didn't matter that the people of Arendelle loved their Queen. Auradon felt wronged that the nation refused to join their ranks. The war had been bloody, and Arendelle had become a fortress of snow and ice.

Anna and Elsa move the civilians as far from the battle grounds and the shores as it was possible. As long as King Beast was trying to burn down the kind a gentle kingdom, their people were going to be living as far away from harm as it could possibly be. The war lasted six years, and Arendelle won. They were superior even against the multitude of nations that were attacking them. They won because the people of Arendelle loved their country enough to defend it until the end. And they did. The anger of the people rained down on the soldiers at the very end of the war.

Auradon had stolen their Queen. They fled not long after they took Elsa as a prisoner of war. Elsa, the most beloved queen in history had been stolen because of wrongly informed leaders of a terrible nation. Auradon acted before they had all the facts. King Beast claimed that she was a prisoner of war. They would only give her back if Arendelle agreed to join the States of Auradon. Elsa had made it law that Arendelle would only ever be a sovereign nation. Anna was told by her sister to never make a deal for her return. Someday Elsa would return, and reclaim the throne. She had kissed her sister on the forehead before her final battle.

Elsa's magic was only a part of her powers. She happened to possess genetic ice powers, and managed to create an ice messenger, and bring him to life before she was imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost. He appeared human, and worked on the barge back and forth to Auradon and the Isle. It was the only way for Elsa and Anna to communicate, and to get things back and forth to each other. Elsa never stopped ruling her country. Anna refused to take her sisters crown unless she died. Anna wouldn't take any title other than Acting Queen, because her own queen was her sister. Rapunzel and Merida both had spies on the Isle adn had ways of getting information off as well.

Auradon was ruthless. After what had happened to Elsa, Anna, as well as Eugene and Rapunzel were thankful that Auradon couldn't connect the dots between Prince Consort Eugene and Flynn Rider.

The war ended after Auradon got what they truly wanted. Elsa was scheming. If Elsa was going to be known as a Villainess Queen to the world, so be it. She would one day be the Villainess that would destroy Auradon. Even when saying that, she would not let the anger consume her. She would not fall to the likes of the Enchantress or the Evil Queen. Elsa would carry herself like a queen. Her country would always come before her revenge.

Auradon would fall. She held her head high as soldiers shoved her off the barge and onto the Isle of the Lost.

Chapter 1

Dearest Sister,

I hope that things are doing well in my fine kingdom. Don't let them fret over me, and let my people know that I am well.

I am writing you a personal letter for the first time in over a year for an important reason. I've been too afraid to tell you sooner because of the lack of good medical care on the Isle. I was pregnant, and I recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy. His name is Gillian, and he'd already shown signs of inheriting my powers. He is happy, healthy and has become my everything. He will be the heir to the throne. Crown Prince Gillian of Arendelle and the Isle of the Lost has a nice ring to it, does it not?

My baby's father is a narcissistic, egotistical, idiot of a man, but he is kind, and won't be an absent father.

You must think me to be crazy for having a child out of wedlock, and becoming a single parent. It is truly the way of the Isle when it comes to children. Gillian has two older half-brothers and a younger half-sister who is barely a week younger than him. He won't be locked away from society with me forever. He'll have some friends, even if they are his siblings, and Grimhilde's daughter. (The woman is fairly knowledgeable, and she merely has momentary lapses in judgement from time to time. We have tea every so often.)

I love my son, and he already has me wrapped around his little finger similar to how you are with your own daughter and son. I am writing to tell you that I love and miss you. Take care of yourself and your family and the kingdom.

Love,

Your Sister,

The White Witch of the Isle

Queen Elsa of Arendelle

Elsa closed the enveloped and picked up the gurgling Gillian. The baby had her blonde hair and his father's blue eyes. He was an easy baby, she knew that already. Elsa made little snowflakes fall on top of him, making him giggle.

"All right, Gillian. Off to town. Our informant has a letter to deliver to Aunt Anna," Elsa said. It was nice talking to her child. It made it feel like she had someone to talk to. She pulled her dark cloak over her shoulders and tugged up the hood far over her eyes and began the short journey to the rundown village on the Isle near the warehouse where she had taken residency.

Elsa began training Gillian when he was four years old. Gaston wanted to see his son more than once a week. He wanted shared custody of his son. Despite being a good mother, she couldn't raise him by herself, and didn't want her son hate her or his father for being absent in his life. She taught him how to control and use his powers. She also made him gloves to wear when he wasn't home with her. The gloves were ordinary, and similar to hers growing up. There was nothing magical about them. She told Gillian there was, but it was truly a bit of psychological manipulation. Her own parents brainwashed her into believing she couldn't use her powers when wearing gloves, she did the same to him, but this was to keep him safe from others around him.

Once Gillian had enough control, she allowed him to spend more time with Gaston and his other children. Elsa believed Gillian needed more friends than just Evelyn, Grimhilde's precious daughter. Eventually, at Gaston's insistence, they sent Gillian to school. Gaston was under the assumption that Gillian needed more friends than just his siblings. Some of Elsa's reluctance may have come from her own childhood of loneliness. She remembered the hell that Anna and she went through when her parents cut them out of society entirely. She wouldn't let her son go through any of that, and she would not be the cause of any of his misfortune if she could help it.

Gillian's siblings started calling him Gil not long after he began living with them. Elsa had tried to convince him that Gillian was a fine, noble name. He retaliated by pouting.

"But Mama, I'm not a noble! I am a low life of the Isle. My name is Gil! Not noble Gillian," Gillian cried, stomping his foot on the ground. Elsa merely stared at her son.

"What if we make a deal? I will call you Gillian at home. If we are in public together, I will call you Gil, if that is what you truly wish. I won't stop your father or your siblings from calling you Gil. But here, in my house, you are Gillian, got it?" Elsa growled out. He flinched away, then he smiled widely. His eyes glinted evilly that he had won, and it was only made a bit more terrifying in the boy's dark blue attire she had made for him from ice fibers. Her son, the son of the Isle's White Witch.

Gillian, the son of the White Witch, became Gil, Son of Gaston, when he was six years old. She was all but forgotten when it came to her son within the Isle's society. Gil began to dress in reds and golds and in similar fashion to his siblings, with the honest exception of his gloves. The boy was too afraid of his mother, and accidently getting killed or stolen than to stop wearing them all together.

"How could you let his happen?" Elsa hissed at Gaston, who was writhing on the ground in pain. Elsa could truly pack a punch, as he had found, and how Gil, Junior, Third, Georgia and Maverick all watched in slight horror. The others had been shooed away by Junior as soon as he saw the rage Miss Snow, as Gaston's children all called her. Elsa had then begun to break the fingers of his crossbow hand, and ended on the pinky, in which she was still holding in a tight grip.

"I didn't mean for it to happen! I did not encourage it. Junior did! I just didn't want to tell you that he wasn't reminding people that he was your son in public," Gaston gasped out.

"You should have told me sooner. This is too late in the game," Elsa yelled, and his pinky finger snapped right off his hand.

Her anger vanished in seconds, and backed away from the man who was no longer sobbing. The shock tore through all of the people in the room. Elsa fell to the ground sobbing. She hadn't meant to lose sight of her morals. All she wanted was her child to be hers. Though it was no excuse.

"Mama!" Gil cried, rushing over to his mother.

"Stay away, Gillian!" she yelled, and he reeled backwards. Third had made his way over to Gaston, and had helped him sit up.

"Elsa," Gaston said calmly. He knew the feeling. He'd experienced it time and time again. The guilt, and instant regret once you've woken up from a rage or a daze. From what he knew, when she'd hurt her sister, it was an accident, but she still felt similar to what she must be feeling now. "It's alright. I'm not going to hurt you."

The disgraced queen had a look of fear on her face. "Who said anything about you?" And she tore out of the small house.

Gaston got to his feet. "Junior, get the medical supplies ready. I'll be back. Do not let Gil leave the house until I return. If he's as much of a mama's boy that I think he is, he'll be wanting to tear after her."

The man limped out of the house, clutching his hand, and went after Elsa as fast as he could manage.

"Dad, wait!" Junior called. He didn't understand why his father was going after the woman who'd just harmed him.

"Do what I tell you, Junior. Keep your siblings in the house until LeFou, your mother, your aunts or I return. Do you hear me?" Gaston shouted, and he ran out of the house in the direction where Miss. Snow had gone.

"What's happening?" Gil asked his older brother. "Where did Mama go?"

"She'll be back, Gilly, don't worry. Dad will be as well. They just need to talk through some things. Aunt Snow is having an episode, kinda like Uncle LeFou and Dad," Junior said.

Gil didn't enjoy when his father had episode. Dad ended up trying to hunt down any animal he could find on the Isle. According to Third, who wasn't always the smartest tried starting a rumor that Gaston had killed a man thinking it was a bear. Dad had taken about a second before he'd shot down that rumor in anger.

"I didn't think that Mama had episodes," Gil whispered. "She's always so kind."

Junior didn't entirely understand what was going through his brother's head, but he agreed with him. He never expected things like this from Aunt Snow. He didn't respond and went to find the medical kit.

Gaston found Elsa crying by a tree near her own home. "Snow, may I hug you?" He asked as calmly as he could.

"You need to get as far away from me as you can. Take Gillian and don't let him come near me again," she whispered. "If I reacted like that to him, what will I do if he joins a gang or does drugs? All he did was dress in different clothes, and I retaliated by beating you and freezing off one of your fingers! How will I react then?"

"I do not know, Snow," Gaston replied to Elsa. "You acted how anyone else on the Isle would have when they are wronged. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Your son will understand. He might be a bit scared of you for a bit, but he will get over it. We do not abuse our children like some of our peers."

"Gaston, I don't want to be a villain," Elsa cried into his shoulder.

"You may not have a choice. No one ever said you couldn't be a villain and a good person," Gaston said. "Just take a look at me. I am a swell man, and I am a villain."

"You are a narcissistic asshole with no truly respect for other people," Elsa snarled. "Sometimes I can't believe I ever allowed you to touch me. How I fell lower that Snow White will forever elude me."

"You say that, yet I am your only friend aside from Grimhilde," Gaston said. "I have plenty of respect for other people. I have seven kids who I love dearly, don't I?"

He received a glare from Elsa.

"I am sorry. I know it won't make a difference," Elsa said. "It was a stupid reason to lose a finger over."

"You're telling me. I was the one who lost it," he joked. He was in a lot of pain, and it was becoming ever clearer, but he felt this may be more important than getting medical attention from LeFou. "Too soon?" Elsa nodded. "Take a few days for yourself. I'll make sure Gil is okay. When you are ready to come back to the world, come and get him. Everything will be alright."

Gaston got up to leave. He felt like she wouldn't do anything stupid at that point.

"Gaston. I really am sorry."

"I know. I know."

"When I get off here, you are coming with me. You and your children. I'll have my sister put citizenship papers through the next time I send her a letter."

He left. Both knew it was a start, but things were going to be tense between them for a very long time.
