Dearest Anna,

It has been three days since we've left Arendelle. We have not reached Corona yet, but I hope to write to you about everything I learn, if I am permitted to share it. I'm sorry Mother and Father didn't invite you to join us on their voyage. I hope to make up for it by spending more time with you once we return.
It's very lonely on the ship. All of the crew members are usually busy making sure the ship stays afloat. Mother and Father spend most of their time discussing navigation with the ship's captain. This means that I only get to see them in the evenings during supper. Regardless, I'm used to the solitude.
As for what I have been doing, I mainly spend my time in the cabin I share with our parents, either studying or reading. I thought it was a good idea to start writing letters to you to help me cope with my already developing homesickness.
I've missed you, Anna, even before our parents had planned the voyage, and I know that it hasn't seemed that way with all of the years we've been apart, but I hope to be able to change that as soon as we come back home.

With Love,
Elsa

As soon as Elsa had sealed the letter into a cream envelope with a wax stamp forming the Arendelle Crocus, she decided to leave her quarters to find a messenger who could deliver the letter back to Arendelle. She cautiously approached the first crew member she saw and asked them where she might be able to find the ship's messenger.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to find one until we've reached the mainland, Miss," the sailor informed her. "Thankfully, we're only two more days away from Corona, so you won't have to wait too long, but I suggest you keep that letter somewhere safe anyway."

Elsa thanked him before returning to her cabin, where she slipped the envelope into her journal and decided to lie down. She had already finished her studies for the day before she wrote the letter, and the concentration had taken a toll on her brain. What Elsa had not written in her letter was that although she was staying in the same cabin as her parents, she had to sleep on the opposite side of the room to ensure safety in case her powers went off while she was asleep. As she drifted off, Elsa thought about what it would be like if Anna was with her on the voyage and she didn't have to worry about her powers...

Elsa jolted awake to a pair of hands roughly shaking her. Straining between awake and asleep, Elsa saw her parents staring at her with great haste.

"Elsa, you need to come with us to the deck," Agnarr told her. "Now!"

Elsa didn't understand through her haze. "W-what?"

"There's no time," said Iduna. "Your father and I will explain as soon as we reach the lifeboats."

Before Elsa could register what was going on, she found herself being dragged out of the cabin, her journal under her arm, and up onto the ship's deck. Her eyes widened with shock as she witnessed the towering tides crashing onto the ship under a dark and ominous sky.

"All hands on deck!" one of the sailors shouted as the crew members struggled to keep the ship afloat in the storm.

Elsa and her parents stumbled towards the nearest lifeboat, and while the king and queen helped Elsa climb into it, they did not follow her.

"What are you waiting for?" Elsa cried out to them. "Get in!"

"Your father and I have to stay to help the crew," Iduna explained. "You're going to have to take this boat to safety. If the ship survives, we'll come find you."

"But what if you don't make it?"

Iduna handed her daughter a map and a compass. "Take these. They will help you get to Corona in case we don't make it."

"I don't think I can do this on my own," Elsa said as she fought back the tears and the ice.

"You can and you must," said Agnarr. "We promise to come and find you as soon as the storm clears. No matter what, we are proud of you."

"I'll try not to let you down," Elsa said as she struggled to hide her fear. I'll try not to drown either.

"We love you so much," Iduna told her before she and Agnarr began to slowly lower the tiny boat into the ocean.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the side of the ship, causing the ropes that were lowering the lifeboat to snap and the boat to plummet into the rough waters below with Elsa holding on for dear life. Although the lifeboat stayed afloat when it landed and Elsa was able to row far enough away from the ship to not worry about the waves crashing her against it, Elsa had to watch in horror as the waves slowly began to swallow the ship until it disappeared below the surface, but she couldn't scream. She soon felt the merciless currents dragging her boat back to the spot where the ship once was and knew that she was going to be next.

The last thing that Elsa remembered was an ominous wave looming above her before it crashed onto her boat, and she was knocked out.
