**The Shipwreck**

The stormy weather had been brewing for hours, and Iduna, the queen of Arendelle, clung to the railing of her ship, her brown hair whipping wildly in the wind. She had been on a diplomatic mission to a neighboring kingdom, and now it seemed that she might not make it back. The ship creaked and groaned, struggling to stay afloat as the waves crashed against it. Iduna's thoughts were with her family, her husband Agnarr and their daughters Elsa and Anna. She hoped that they were safe and well back in Arendelle. But as she looked out at the turbulent sea, she couldn't shake the feeling that she might not see them again. The ship lurched violently, and Iduna was thrown off balance. She stumbled across the deck, desperately trying to find her footing on the slick surface. But it was too late. A massive wave crashed over the ship, sweeping Iduna off her feet and sending her tumbling into the sea. Iduna felt herself being pulled under, the icy water closing over her head. She struggled to swim to the surface, but the weight of her soaked clothes and the force of the waves made it difficult. Just when she thought all was lost, she felt a jolt as she hit the rocky shore. Dazed and disoriented, Iduna slowly sat up, assessing her surroundings. She was on a rocky beach, with no sign of her ship or her crew. The storm had passed, leaving behind a eerie calm. Iduna's head pounded, and she could feel the saltwater stinging her eyes. She stumbled to her feet, taking stock of her situation. She was alone, stranded on a foreign shore, with no idea how she was going to get back to Arendelle. As she looked down at her clothes, Iduna realized that she must have been washed up on the shore in a sorry state. Her coronet braid had come undone, and her brown hair was matted with seaweed and salt. She was bruised and battered, but she was alive. And that was all that mattered. Iduna took a deep breath, steeling herself for the challenges ahead. She would survive this ordeal, no matter what it took. She would find a way back to Arendelle, and to her family. And she would make sure that they knew she was still alive, and that she would never give up on them.
