Word traveled fast about Arendelle's misfortune. The merchants carried the news to the shores of Dolencia, where King Ulf (Fire and Ice fanfic) got wind of it from his Prime Minister.
"So!" said Ulf haughtily, "That impudent Queen Elsa is lost at sea. Good! Now is the time for me to pay back Arendelle for making me lose face among all of the surrounding countries, and even the peons here!" He thundered.
"What shall you do, oh, Great One?" asked the Prime Minister.
"Summon the Commander of my army and the Commodore of my navy! We shall plan an invasion of Arendelle!"
"At once, Majesty!"

It was late Tuesday (the day the North Mountain reached Arendelle) when the Pride of Arendelle II reached Thors Island. Lukens had commanded his brothers to be on the lookout for it, and help as much as possible.
The Pride of Arendelle II was warmly received. Elsa and Captain Bjorkland went to hold audience with King Thor. Thor was relieved and happy to see them, so much so that he gave a warm embrace to Elsa and a hearty handshake to Bjorkland.
"Welcome, friends! My island is at your disposal! I am so happy that you are alive and well! We thought you were lost!"
Elsa responded, "Thank you for the warm welcome, Thor! Our ship is in need of repair. I will gladly reimburse you for the costs expended. Also, have you any word on the Icy Fjord and the North Mountain?"
"Yes! Both ships have been repaired or replaced in the Southern Isles and should arrive in Arendelle shortly, with a Southern Isle escort! As for the cost of repair, my island is yours. Take what you need freely! When your ship is repaired, please stop at Lukens Island and let him know you are safe. He has been in a very sad mood, believing you to be lost.
"Christian? Take Captain Bjorkland and his ship to the dry-dock. Instruct them to repair and replace anything damaged, by my order!"
"Certainly, Thor" and the two men were off.
"I wish there was some way I could get word to Arendelle that our ship is okay," lamented Elsa.
"Elsa, you will arrive home before word could get there, so there is no need. Tonight, you and the ship's Captain and crew will be my guest at a banquet in your honor, and will spend the night in my castle! My wife, Kalle, will be happy to see you!"
"Thank you, Thor! You are too kind and generous!" replied Elsa.
