Honeymaren dashes towards Elsa who was in the verge of collapsing in the bathroom.
"Help!!! Help! I need help!" She called. Anna rushed to Honeymaren's side and watched as Elsa's look of panic subsided and turned into a slight grin. "Elsa?" Honeymaren practically whispered, knowing Elsa wouldn't be able to hear her. "She's breathing," Honeymaren assures Anna who was now pacing frantically. Maids and castle go-ers had heard Honeymaren's calls and entered the room. They prepared the bed for them to lay Elsa on.
"Goddamn it!" The red head cursed, "where the hell is Kristoff?"
"Right here!" Everyone turned to see Kristoff running in the room, the elder rock troll at his side.
"Let me see her," the troll said, waltzing toward Elsa's unconscious figure. Anna cried in Kristoff's arms as Honeymaren sat there, terrified and once again feeling alone and helpless. After a few minutes of examination the troll sighed and turned to face the startled crowd. "I've never seen it before, but I know what it is. It's an ancient sickness, only those bonded with elements of nature have a chance of getting it. It's rare, extremely rare, especially in the young and strong."
"How do I heal her?" Anna asked. Honeymaren admired Anna, although the red heads cheeks were swollen and tears lined her eyes she stood strong. And had hope.
"There is nothing we can do. Only Ancient healers, those blessed by the powers of nature and gifted with a recovering gift can heal her now."
"What do you mean? Like a healer with magical powers?"
"Precisely."
"How many are there, of these healers where can I find them?" Elsa demanded.
"There are few, if any left in this world," the troll said, a solemn look coating his eyes. Honeymaren, now lost in a distressed trance, stared at the sunset on the wall. The sunset she and Elsa had marvelled at for hours. Wait.
"The lost princess." Honeymaren said.
"What?" Anna asked, stepping towards her.
"Elsa.. she said Rapunzel was the lost Princess."
"So?"
"Well as the story goes the lost Princess saved her prince from death by healing a fatal wound inflicted by the witch."
"That's just a story."
"The story must have some truth to it." Honeymaren pleaded. There was silence for a moment before Kristoff spoke up.
"I think it's worth a try," he said, "I don't have a better idea and unless you do Anna this is our only hope." Anna thought about it for a moment before regaining her former vigour.
"Okay, I'll get us a ship to Corona."
Within 10 minutes of Elsa's collapse the group was rushing onto the ship. Citizens were helping them prepare, donating on hand goods to go on board. They ultimately decided to take Elsa with them, even though she was unconscious, they couldn't waste any time. Having never been on a ship before Honeymaren's nerves were getting the best of her. She tried to focus on Elsa but she couldn't help think that at any moment the ship could sink and all them would be in Elsa's boat- literally and figuratively. Kristoff, Sven and Olaf carries on crates of who knows what while Honeymaren walked beside Elsa- who was being carried on a table by many of the house helpers. Anna was talking with what Honeymaren assumes to be the captain, who's eyes were out in the sea. Men and women started to gather around the ship, Honeymaren couldn't help but noticed that they too stood out from the crowd.
"All right me crew! We have royalty on board so please, be on your best behaviour. And it is very important we sail the fastest, and safest, that we can to Corona."
"Aye!" The crowd responded. Their sailors. Thus the variety of clothing. Some of the crew who had seemed tired were now revitalized as the sails were dropped and the raising of the anchor came to a halt. Oh my god. We have set sail.
"I never should have asked her to come here," Anna cried, Kristoff stared at her affectionately.
"Anna it's not your fault, pappi said this thing is rare. She probably already had before she got here."
"Still, travelling was probably hard on her."
"Anna, I don't know Elsa like you do, but I do know that that girl can run. She once sprinted from Arendelle to the North Mountain in one night, after that she built an ice castle. Travelling from the ancient forest to here, on horseback would've been nothing." Anna considered his words, she still doubted herself, but was comforted nonetheless.
"Kristoff, what if... what if I don't get a chance to tell her? Anna rubbed her stomach and stared at it. She still had a hard time believing there was child in there.
"Don't worry, she'll know."
