"ADGAR!" Idunn yelled desperately over the howling wind. "CAN YOU HEAR ME?!"
"I'M RIGHT HERE!" Adgar called, giving her hand a squeeze.
The wind howled, as the ship started to creak.
"I LOVE YOU!" Idunn yelled. "We'll make it somewhere together! I prom-AHHH!" Idunn screamed as the boat began to capsize. There was only a small hole now, getting smaller and small as the boat creaked.
"We'll never make it!" Idunn gasped and held onto Adgar's hand.
"We won't…but you will." Adgar said.
"W-what?" Idunn stammered. "What do you mean?" The creaking grew louder and louder. Idunn looked desperately at Adgar through the darkness.
"Idunn, my love, if you make it back to Arendelle, tell the girls I love them." Adgar inhaled deeply and gave Idunn a mighty push from behind.
The impact sent her flying outside the ship and onto a nearby plank of wood. The remains of the ship collapsed, crushing Adgar to death. One of the sails broke off and large bits of wood flew everywhere. Idunn shielded her head, but without thinking, her chest was exposed.
A long piece of wood struck her in the left side of her chest. It penetrated through the silk fabric of her dress and through her pale skin. Grimacing in agony, she held her head up to the sky and let out a mournful scream, wet tears streaming down her cheeks.
"ADGARRRRRR!"
The scream only aggravated her body more. Idunn began to choke as she coughed up blood. It appeared as a puddle in her hands, frightening her to no end.
Idunn gripped the small plank of wood tightly beneath her as her vision blurred. She watched helplessly as Adgar's body floated more and more far away. How she longed for her to have died and he have lived! Her sweet, sweet Adgar.
"Adgar…." She whispered. Her chest ached as she let the plaguing darkness engulf her. This was it. She was ready to die.
Then everything went black.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Shouting. Touched. Thump. Thump. Thump.
"Karl keep going! We have no idea how long she was unconscious!"
Otto gripped his fishing net tightly. He had heard of 'Catch of The Day' But the catch of the day being a person? Not exactly heard of. He leaned to take a closer look at Idunn's unconscious and injured figure.
"Crocuses… hmm… seems familiar." He leaned in closer, peering at Idunn's blood stained dress. "Where have I seen that hair and eye colour before? And the face shape…."
Wilhelm, the captain, gave him a smack over the head. "You dingbat! She looks like Queen Arianna. How old are you, ten? She must be her sister, Queen Idunn of Arendelle!"
Otto rubbed his head. "She looks pretty beat up. And she really needs a haircut."
Wilhelm slapped him too. "Not a hairdresser, a doctor! To the castle!"
Idunn felt large hands thumping on her chest as her eyes fluttered open, blood still dripping from her mouth like a leaky tap. She gasped out for air, her hands slapping down onto the hard deck of the small wooden fishing boat.
"She's awake!" Karl announced. "Heh, not bad. I should quit fishing and become a doctor."
"Ad…gar….husband…..in….sea…..take….me…..sister…..castlll…..e" Idunn slurred between gasps.
Karl pulled out a handkerchief from his back pocket and began to mop up Idunn's bloody mouth.
"It's all under control." Karl smiled. "We're got you." He wrapped her in a blanket and then wrapped a bandage around the wood stuck in Idunn's chest. He lay her back down on the deck as they approached the castle. He kneeled next to her, rubbing her back to keep her warm.
