Honeymaren sulked back to her post at Elsa's side, to her surprise Kassandra was still there, sitting next to Elsa, talking with the healers.
"You stayed?" Honeymaren said.
"I keep my promises," Kassandra replied.
"I didn't realize it was a promise."
"Well that goes without saying, that's why you agreed to leave. Are you feeling better?"
"Not overly."
"Here, sit." Kassandra stepped aside and let Honeymaren reclaim her spot next to Elsa.
"So who are you?" Honeymaren asked.
"I'm Kassandra, I told you that."
"I mean who are you, besides the name. What do you, where are you from. That sort of thing."
"Oh. Well I'm a born Roman but I grew up in Greece." Honeymaren nodded and pretended she knew what those places were. The ancient forest handn't that been well versed in geography growing up, especially once it was veiled. "I do a little bit of everything, honestly I was just hitching a ride with these guys, but then I saw her," she gestured to Elsa," and I thought I should help." Honeymaren hadn't noticed that during their conversation Kassandra had gathered pillows and blankets from around the captains quarters. "Here," said the Roman, handing Honeymaren the blankets.
"What's this for?"
"Sleeping. Get your rest. It's going to be a long day tomorrow, no matter which way this goes." Honeymaren's face must've looked defiant because the mercenary raised her hand before Honeymaren could speak.
"I promise I will wake you if anything happens."
"How do I know you'll keep your promise?"
"I always keep my promises, like I said. In my line of work promises are no joke." Honeymaren felt herself smile just a bit as she fell into a light, but well needed sleep.

Kristoff fell to floor alongside Anna, her wails drowned out the sound of the roaring sea.
"Kristoff- I- I'm so sorry!"
"No anna it's not your fault!"
"I killed him."
"No you didn't! You had nothing to do with this!" Kristoff tried to get close to her, bet she pushed herself further into the bathroom. Anna's head collapsed into her arms as she folded up her legs and shut herself in. Kristoff was doing his best to comfort her, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to shake the look of grief off his face. The stress of the situation had cost them their baby, and Kristoff was having a hard time processing it.  He listened to Anna's sobs in the silence, as he too began to become soaked in blood. He couldn't hold back the tears any longer, and soon enough he was crying too. Sven laid by the door, looking at the King and Queen of Arendelle at the weakest they've ever been, although the reindeer didn't understand what was happening he saw blood. And he understood enough that blood was never a good sign.

The boat hit a large wave and rocked suddenly, stirring Honeymaren from her sleep.
"Ah!" She yelled, startled.
"Well good morning to you too." Honeymaren blinked as the sun peered through the windows of the ship.
"How far are we?" She stammered.
"An hour, give or take." Honeymaren looked at Elsa who still lay motionless next to her. Elsa's pale skin was turning greyer by the moment. Her eyes seemed to be sealed shut by darkness, the only good thing was the faint breath Honeymaren could feel on her arm. "She's worse," Kassandra said.
"Yeah I got that." Honeymaren replied rather sarcastically. In response the Mercenary yawned and shook her head. "Did you stay up the whole night?" Honeymaren asked, already certain of the answer.
"Yeah, I had to watch her for you, remember." Even though Honeymaren had no reason to doubt Kassandra's integrity, she was still surprised.
"Oh, well thanks. You should rest now... if you want to. Just till we get there." Kassandra nodded and took the pillows from Honeymaren before retreating out of the captains quarters and heading to bunk downstairs. Honeymaren started out the window, her fingers tracing Elsa's jawline without direction. "We're almost there Elsa... just hold on a little longer."

As the boat neared Corona and the port came into view, the crew started to squirm. Anxiety was high and everyone was desperate to get Elsa into care. Knights of the kingdom had come out on rowboats to greet them, and the sailors frantically explained to them what was going on. Elsa was being moved onto the deck so she could be moved as quickly as possible. Despite the action, Honeymaren still hadn't seen Anna. "Kassandra!" She hollered across the crowd. Kassandra turned to look at her before coming her way. She's running to me. Damn she really cares about this.
"Yeah?"
"Have you seen the Queen, Anna, I mean. Her and Kristoff disappeared a while ago."
"Hmm. No I haven't, let me go see if I can find them. They should be hear for this."
"Thanks." As the soldier sprinted off, the ship was harpooning to the dock, not a usual method, but because of the circumstances they need to be a close as possible. Honeymaren expected to see more... knights from Corona compared the 10 they had currently seen. The ship crew and the knights worked together to lift Elsa's bed, Honeymaren practically had to sprint. after them to keep up.
"Honeymaren?" She heard a familiar voice from the crowd say. She turned, frantically seeking her name caller, when she saw a light-skinned girl with short brow hair running toward her. She was wearing a long elegant, purple dress that dragged behind her.
"Rapunzel?!" Honeymaren fell into Rapunzel's arms and begin to beg for her help. "Elsa, she's sick. She's really really sick, we need your help." Rapunzel nodded and ushered away, pulling Honeymaren behind her.
