"Ah-ah-ah-ah~" Elsa sang, calling out to the voice. Anna followed closely behind her sister, and Olaf was just behind her. The trio were walking through a dry, grey, and dead area of the forest.

"Ah-ah-ah-ah~" Elsa called again.

*Whoosh!*

"UGH!" Anna grunted.

Olaf gasped. "Hey, Gale's back!"

Gale then flew around Elsa before flying up a hill. But just over the top of that hill, there was something she never expected.

The top of a ship's mast with a torn flag attached to it.

The flag of Arendelle.

The sisters saw this and where very confused.

"What?" Anna whispered.

Elsa then ran up the hill. When she and Anna got to the top, they gasped.

"How can it be?" Anna whispered in shock.

"What is it?" Olaf asked.

Over the hill, was an Arendellian ship, wrecked and ruined. But the sisters knew exactly which ship it was.

"Mother and Father's ship." Anna answered

"But this isn't the Dark Sea."

"No, it isn't."

Elsa then ran down towards the ship, stopping in front of a giant hole in the hull.

"They were lucky to have survived this." Elsa said, examining the damage.

Anna put her hand on Elsa's shoulder, to which the eldest sister put her opposite hand over the younger.

"They survived, Elsa, they are alive. You know that." Anna consoled.

"I know, I just... I can't help but think of how frightening it must've been for them."

"Hey guys?"

Elsa and Anna turned to see Olaf standing next to the front of the ship.

"You might wanna take a look at this." He said, pointing to the other side of the ship.

The sisters followed the snowman and saw what he meant.

They gasped in horror.

There, in front of them, was a makeshift graveyard with around thirty graves. There were sticks planted into each grave, and each stick had either an Arendellian Navy hat, or a Arendellian royal guard helmet sat on top of them.

"Oh... These poor people..." Anna whispered, her hand over her heart.

Elsa then let out a sob as she fell to her knees.

"Elsa!" Anna exclaimed as she knelt to join her sister as she cried. "What? What is it? What's wrong?"

"These people died because of me." Elsa sobbed.

"What?! Why would you say that?!" Anna was shocked.

"You heard Mother and Father, they only went on this voyage because of me!" Elsa retaliated.

"Elsa, look at me." Anna said sternly.

Elsa looked at Anna with teary eyes.

"These people did not die in vain. They did everything they could to keep Mother and Father safe. And even though they're gone, the fact that we are about to find Ahtohallan means that they're sacrifices were not in vain."

Elsa sniffled.

"Your right, I need to finish what they started."

"That's the Elsa I know." Anna said, smiling at her sister. "Come on, we still need to get to the Dark Sea."

Anna and Olaf started walking away. Anna looked over her shoulder and stopped when she saw Elsa standing now, looking at the graves.

Elsa took a deep breath and spoke.

"Arendelle will honor your names and your sacrifices forever. I'm sorry you all met your end this way. I, Queen Elsa of Arendelle, shall finish what you and my parents started. Thank you for your service, my people."

Elsa looked down at her hands after and then decided to pay her respects. She flicked both her wrists and sent snow magic onto each of the thirty graves, the magic then shaped into a rose and froze into ice. Elsa took another shaky breath and turned around to join her sister and Olaf to continue towards the Dark Sea and find Ahtohallan.

In the reflection of one of the ice roses, Elsa could be seen walking away.

A/N: Thank you, Star Wars: The Clone Wars Series finale, "Victory And Death", for giving me the perfect idea on how to have Elsa feel responsible for someone's death, but not her own parents' deaths, which never happened in this AU.

And yes, Anna and Olaf will be on the shore of the Dark Sea when Elsa tames the Nokk.
