Chapter 7

Early the next morning, Captain Bjorkland and a docking party left the Pride of Arendelle II to explore their island sanctuary, to make sure it was safe, before allowing the remainder of the personnel to come ashore.

After an hour, the Captain gave the "All clear." Allowing Elsa and the crew to come ashore.

With the entire crew on shore, the Captain asked Elsa to use her power to create an ice wall around the ship, as a temporary dry-dock. Elsa was very happy to comply.

The crew got to work on building some huts on shore, so they could stay dry and warm. It took a day to build the huts. The next day, half the crew set out to cut trees for masts, and other trees for repair planks. Elsa kept busy by using her power to provide fresh water for the crew to drink and cook in. The sailors marveled at the Queen's industriousness.

On one of the breaks taken by the crew from their work, a sailor climbed a tree to look all around. He saw an old ship had run aground about one half mile up the coast. Quickly, Captain Bjorkland put together a party of around 10 sailors to investigate. Elsa also came along.

As they neared the wreck, they noticed some old weather beaten hut remains, as well as a ship that had been there at least five to ten years. They initially didn't see a nameplate, but a sailor looked in the shallows and saw one in the seawater, face down. He went to retrieve it and brought it back. It was covered in barnacles, which had to be pried off. As they were, everyone's blood ran cold. The ship was the original Pride of Arendelle! It had sustained major damage on the reef, far beyond repair. The crew made a thorough search of the camp, and one of them found a book, which he gave to the Captain. After glancing at it, Captain Bjorkland presented it to Elsa.

"Your Majesty, this is the ships log, and it contains a history of what happened here. I think you would want to read it."

Trembling, Elsa accepted the book, and took it back to her hut.
