I woke up and gasped. As I caught my breath, I looked to see that the ship I was sailing on wasn't in Agrabah anymore and more close to Arendelle. I couldn't see the kingdom, but I could tell by the cool air that we were approaching it. I started to miss the warm Agrabah air while I was on a negotiation mission with Sultan Jasmine and Prince Aladdin themselves. Then I noticed this cool air was not the right temperature for me to lie down on a red blanket and wear my strapless white bikini so I started to change into my proper clothes.

As I dressed into my light green shirt and dark green skirt, I started to remember what I was dreamt off. It was a memory five years ago when I was taking Prince Kasper, the son of mine and my husband Kristoff's and the next in line for the throne after my sister Queen Elsa, on his very first picnic after he was born six months ago. It began extremely well when I, Kristoff, Elsa, Olaf and Sven found a spot near the North Mountains. After we had eaten and rested to enjoy the sunshine and the fresh air. Olaf started to go and find some leaves for Kasper to remember his first picnic. We told him not to go too far. We waited a very long time, but he never came back and I was starting to worry if he got lost. I decided to go and look for him. I came to an edge where all I could see by looking down was some mist. I called Olaf to check he didn't fall down there. When I got no reply, I decided to move on until I slipped on a rock and fell down a long slope into the misty mist.

I couldn't stop sliding down until I landed in some sort of forest. Wondering through the forest to find a way out, I called for my family and friends, but I couldn't find them. The mist and the dark tall trees weren't helping me. Then suddenly I wasn't alone. I was greeted by some bright flashing colorful creatures. Or rather confronted by them as they chased me.

I tried to lose them, but I couldn't seem to run or hide from them. I managed to lose them when I started to sink in a boggy area. Though it helped me lose the spirits, I couldn't stop sinking. Even when the mud reached up to my neck, I couldn't call out for help because those creatures might find me. Then a rope loop was thrown around me. It tightened around my shoulders and I was pulled out. I saw the people who rescued me. It was a group of reindeers, led by two people: Honeymaren and her brother Ryder Nattura.

I learned they were part of an indigenous group called the Northuldra when they took me to their village. After they took me to a river to wash the mud out of me, they told me that those creatures were the Elemental Spirits of the Enchanted Forest. There was the Earth Spirit, the Air Spirit, the Fire Spirit, the Water Spirit, the Ice Spirit, the Light Spirit, the Darkness Spirit and the Lightning Spirit. After I dried myself, I was given some clothes kindly from the Northuldra and some food to eat. As I ate, the leader of the Northuldra Yelana told me the Elemental Spirits were after me because of what my parents had done to them. For my father Agnarr, it started when my grandfather King Runeard built the Enchanted Forest a dam as a peace offering, as I remembered my father telling Elsa and me one night when we were very little. What I learnt new about it was my grandfather's intentions really were to trap the Spirits and their magic in due to his secret fear and hatred of them. He went to war with the Northuldra and even killed the previous leader leaving his wife Yelana to lead. The Spirits hated my father for fighting the Northuldra with his grandfather. As for my mother Iduna, she angered the Ice Spirit one day when she stole something from its mountain when she was young. She fell from a mountain, but she survived. The Northuldra believed the Ice Spirit cursed her but not how.

I tried to sleep that night but I couldn't. I couldn't get the dam my grandfather built out of my head so I went to it. I found it and it was massive. Then I met the Elemental Spirits of the Forest. They went to attack me, but they stopped when I apologized for what my family did. The Earth Spirit, which was the green glowing spirit and I assumed he was the chief of the spirits, showed me a vision of my mother stealing the Ice Spirit's scared icicles and the Ice Spirit punished her by not killing her but inserting an ice and snow orb into her body so her firstborn – my sister Elsa – would be born with uncontrollable snow powers. Then the Earth Spirit showed me another vision. Despite my mother and my father leaving the forest during the battle, they weren't upset. In fact, they were delighted that they left to go back to Arendelle and unintentionally destroy it for all of their sins. They knew that they died at sea, but that was still not enough for them. They hated me for helping Elsa control her powers and save the kingdom. They tried to attack me again before I bought myself time by telling them I could help them by destroying the dam. Not knowing how much time I had left, I went to work.

I looked up and saw some giant boulders on a mountain near it. So I climbed to the top, got a big branch and used it to push the boulders down. They rolled down the slope and crashed into the dam and successfully broke it. As I headed down, I saw the Elemental Spirits were happy again and the Enchanted Forest was healing with the mist rising up. Then a huge gush of water from the broken dam caught me and I fell into the tidal wave. I tried to hold onto whatever I could, whether it was a branch or a strong rock, but I still got washed away and I started to drown.

Then I woke up and found myself back in the Northuldra village. All the villagers were there and so were Olaf, Kristoff, Sven, Elsa and Kasper. They were delighted that I was alive and I was delighted to see all of them.

"How did you find me?" I asked them. "And this place?"

"This magical mist rising up gives it away," Kristoff said.

Then the Elemental Spirits greeted us. To show both how grateful they were of my selfless act and how sorry they were for holding all of their grudges against my family and for trying to destroy Arendelle, the Earth Spirit revealed that it inserted an orb into me when I was free from the wave and still unconscious before my family and friends found me. This time they told me that my next child would be born with magical powers in six months time. This time it would be agrokinesis powers – the powers to grow plants and trees from magic instead of seeds. Then the Spirits told us that this time it would be a blessing, not a cruse like they did to Elsa before they left us to have our picnic.

The food from yesterday's picnic was still good, but I still didn't feel hungry.

"What's wrong, Anna?" Elsa asked.

"It's my future child, Elsa," Anna said. "I'm glad to have help save the forest that our grandfather tried to destroy and I'm grateful this time I know my child will be born with powers, but –" I took a deep sigh. "I just feel like our childhood might repeat itself, only this time to my children."

Then my sister gently put her hand on my shoulder and smiled warmly. "I understand how you're feeling, Anna, but I'm very confident it won't repeat itself again. And do you know why? Because we now know why I was born with magical powers. And you taught me how to control my magical powers through love. Through you, Kasper, Kristoff, Olaf, Sven and now your future baby. The more I love, the better I get at controlling my powers. And we won't let what happened to me growing up happen to your baby."

And we didn't. Six months later, my daughter Princess Rika was born and she had magical horticulture powers and she was amazing with them. She could grow bushes and tall trees from her hands instead of seeds. And we did everything we could to help Rika control her powers through love and care like Elsa controlled hers since she unfroze Arendelle eight years ago. There weren't many problems, but the biggest problem was her brother Kasper.

Don't get me wrong. I love Kasper very much and he was a very bright boy. He was good at studying and had good manners and he remembered to get everyone a present for their birthdays or Christmas, but he was not very good at showing love and he liked to keep himself distant. Unlike Elsa who distanced herself to control her powers and not hurt anyone with them, we didn't know why he wanted to distant himself from his family. Elsa and I tried to support him in his royal duties and help him to become the new king of Arendelle unless Elsa has children of her own, but he didn't seem that much interested. He tried father and son bonding time with Kristoff on his ice delivering jobs, but he didn't seem to be any more interested with that either.

I took my children with me on my trip to Agrabah. I hoped it would be a great time for bonding between each other and for learning about Agrabah. We all did learn a lot, but Kasper still didn't feel like bonding with us. I knew raising kids takes patience and persistence, but I started to worry if I was being a bad parent. I started to worry if I was being no better than my parents or even my grandfather.

After I finished dressing myself, I noticed some ships sailing close to us. It was big enough to be a fleet. Not only were they coming near us very quickly but also they seemed to be heading in our direction. It was as they were intending to come for us. I didn't know why they would come for us, but all I knew was that it was making me more worried the close they came to us. I rang the ship bell and the captain and the crew met me.

"What is it, Your Highness?" the captain asked.

"I think we're under attack," I told him. "See those ships? They're sailing towards us and very quickly."

The captain looked at the ships. He seemed as worried as I was. He turned to the crew. "Arm yourselves, crew! Prepare for any boarding."

As the crew armed themselves with their defenses, I went to look for my children. They didn't come out on the deck so I went into our private cabin where my kids and I had been sleeping on these voyages. I was relieved to see them in there. Kasper was asleep on his bed and Rika was on the floor.

"Look, Mama," Rika said. "Look what I've done."

I looked at sunflowers growing into the wooden floor. They were so beautiful and tall enough to touch the ceiling. "They're really beautiful, Rika," I told her. "But we must get out here now." I picked her and I picked Kasper up, who immediately woke up.

"What's going on, Mama?" Kasper asked.

I didn't reply because I was focusing on trying to find the safest place I could find for them. I looked around the whole ship and the best I could find was a bunch of barrels. All of them were filled up with food or water, except one that was empty. I put my kids in there.

"What's going on, Mama?" Rika asked.

"Are we in danger?" Kasper asked.

"I don't know, to tell you the truth," I told them. "Just don't come out of this barrel until I say otherwise."

I closed the lid and prayed for their safety as I headed back up to the deck. My suspicions about the fleet were right when they came closer to us and started firing their cannons at us. They didn't hit us, just the water around us. The crew armed their cannons and fired back. Our cannons managed to hit some of the ships.

Then I heard a noise coming from behind me. It sounded like a rowboat. I turned to check it out, but hooks were hanging on the side. I started to lift them off and hear their splashes. Then my arm was grabbed. I turn to see whom it was that was holding me and I was shocked to see whom it was. "Hans?"

It was Prince Hans of the Southern Isles. He was wearing the same uniform last time he was in Arendelle and he smiled at me when he revealed to me who he really was. "Nice to meet you again, Anna." Then he pulled me much closer and held a knife at my throat. He turned me around and we both saw my ship's crew coming for me.

"Drop your weapons, Captain," Hans ordered, "or your princess dies."

The crew did what they were ordered to do.

"All of you are coming with me," Hans said.

"No," I said. "Take me all you want, Hans, but let my crew go free. Please."

Hans thought about it and he smiled. "Very well. You have a king's word. Now, come on!"

A king's word? I was confused as Hans and his soldiers wearing the Southern Isles army uniform cuffed me up and rowed me back to his ship. As we boarded his ship, I saw my ship sail away with my crew still alive and unharmed.

Then cannons from Hans's ships started firing on my ship. This time it was hit by cannonballs. I gasped in horror. I angrily turn to Hans. "You gave me a king's word!"

"And I did," Hans chuckled evilly. "They are free from their bodies. See for yourself."

We sailed past my ship as it slowly burnt and started to sink. I felt upset as I saw the wreckage. Seeing them me feel really guilty that I couldn't save them. Then I forgot I left my children in that barrel. I looked for it, but there were so many barrels floating in the sea. I couldn't tell which one had my children in, but at the same time I didn't want them to pop up if they were alive because Hans might order his men to kill them if he saw them. I sure hoped my children were safe and alive as we sailed away from the wreckage.

I angrily turned to Hans. "Is this for revenge? What Elsa and I did to you? What has your father and brothers got to say about it?"

He faced me and smiled again. "Nothing. I am the one and only king of the Southern Isles and Weselton."

I was so confused.

"Don't worry, Anna. I will explain everything when we return to Arendelle." He turned to his men and ordered them to throw me into a cell below deck. I felt hopeless that I lost my ship's crew and my kids and now I couldn't do anything to warn Arendelle about Hans's invasion.
