Drowning

 The boat lurched under her feet.
 Rapunzel gripped the rail of the boat, her dirty blonde hair blocking her vision as it blew in the vicious wind. After Eugene had cut it off, her hair had slowly begun to grow back, and some parts of it grew back the way it had looked before.
 Her guards, also her escorts, flew around the boat's deck, the captain roaring orders to them above the sounds of thunder rumbling overhead.
 This was the worst storm Rapunzel had ever seen.
  She clambered around, trying her best to help the guards keep the ship from overturning.
 Every wave that crashed against the boat's side, she could feel it tear it apart through the floor.
 "M'lady!!" The captain came up to her side and grabbed the rope she had been holding, attempting to keep the mast from flying away. "There is a hole in the side of the boat!! We have to go!!" He shouted.
 "We won't last a second in an escape vessel in this storm!!" Rapunzel shouted back as the rain pounded their heads, making her hair stick to her wet skin.
 "We won't last much longer here either!"
Rapunzel watched the waters desperately for a miracle. 
 No such thing came, and Rapunzel watched a wave big enough to be a tsunami loom overhead.
 "I'm sorry Flynn." She whispered. 
"Flower gleam and glow. . ."

(A/N: I decided to be a nice person and write this next part in the same chapter as the paragraph above, you're welcome.)

(Hiccup's POV)

 The two flew as fast as they could back to the castle of Arendelle. 
 "I don't like it either bud." Hiccup consoled his dragon, who had been complaining about the wind that keeps picking up the closer they get to the kingdom.
 Below them, the water stirred anxiously, lightning stirring it up like a blender.
 "How is Rapunzel supposed to make it through all this again?" Hiccup asked.
 Jack almost let go of his staff under the realization that she is out there somewhere.
 "We have to find out." Jack exclaimed over he thunder roaring in their ears.
 "You go to the castle, see if she's made it already since you're a smaller target for the lightning!! I'll keep looking in the waters between Corona and Arendelle!!"
 Jack gave him a thumbs up, and zipped off into the storm.
 Hiccup directed Toothless lower to the water to see better what was in the water.
 Roar! Toothless growled at him.
 "I know I know, be careful. Sorry." Hiccup apologised after almost getting them struck by lightning.
 He searched and searched the ominous and restless water for any sign of her ship.
 "I'm beginning to think she's not out here!" Hiccup shouted to Toothless, who roared in agreement.
 Weaving between lightning bolts and water, Hiccup expertly steered Toothless out of harm's way.
 Suddenly, Jack popped out of nowhere.
 "Did she make it?!" Hiccup yelled.
 His heart dropped when he shook his head.
 "KEEP LOOKING!!" Jack said.
 "WE CAN'T MUCH LONGER IF THE STORM KEEPS THIS UP!!!" He replied, dreading deep down what happened.
 "What is that!?!" Jack pointed to a feint yellow glow underneath one of the overlapping waves.
 Both boys flew in it's direction just as the wave had receded. 
 The remains of the boat had been shattered like glass, and strewn about them were the bodies of Rapunzel's men, some dead, and some alive and drowning.
 "Get the men!!" Hiccup shouted to Jack before Toothless dove in the water chasing the yellow light.

(A/N and since I'm not that nice, I'll end that right there. -Agent Em)
