**Chapter 4: Rescue**

The fisherman smiled, his face weathered from years at sea. "You're welcome, Your Majesty," he said, his eyes filled with kindness. "We'll take care of you now." Iduna's eyes welled up with tears as she nodded, feeling a mix of relief and exhaustion. She had been alone for so long, struggling to survive on the desolate shore. The fishermen helped her aboard, and Iduna collapsed onto the deck, grateful for the warmth and safety of the boat. They gave her a blanket to wrap around her shivering body and a flask of water to drink. Iduna took a sip, feeling the cool liquid soothe her parched throat. As the boat sailed away from the shore, Iduna looked back at the wreckage of her ship, her heart heavy with grief. She had lost Agnarr, and she couldn't help but wonder if her daughters had survived. The thought filled her with a sense of dread, and she felt a lump form in her throat. The fishermen, noticing her distress, approached her with kindness. "Don't worry, Your Majesty," one of them said. "We'll get you back to Arendelle. You'll be reunited with your daughters in no time." Iduna nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope. She had to believe that Elsa and Anna were alive, that she would see them again soon. The fishermen gave her food and water, and Iduna ate and drank gratefully, feeling her strength begin to return. As the sun began to set, the fishermen gathered around her, their faces filled with concern. "Your Majesty, we need to get you cleaned up," one of them said. "You're covered in salt and dirt. We'll get you back to Arendelle, and you can get the rest and care you need." Iduna nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards these strangers. They had saved her from the shore, and now they were taking her home. She stood up, her body stiff and sore, and followed the fishermen to a small cabin below deck. Inside, Iduna found a small shower, and the fishermen helped her clean up. They gave her a warm change of clothes, and Iduna felt like a new person. She was grateful for their kindness, and she began to feel a sense of hope that she hadn't felt in days. As the boat sailed on, Iduna sat on the deck, watching the sun set over the sea. She felt a sense of peace wash over her, and she closed her eyes, letting the gentle rocking of the boat lull her to sleep. When she woke up, the boat was approaching the shore of Arendelle. Iduna's heart leapt with excitement as she saw the familiar buildings and the castle in the distance. She was home, and she would soon be reunited with her daughters. The fishermen helped her off the boat, and Iduna stood on the shore, feeling the warm sun on her face. She took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief and gratitude. She had survived the shipwreck, and she was home. As she walked towards the castle, Iduna saw Elsa and Anna running towards her, their faces filled with joy and relief. "Mother!" they exclaimed, throwing their arms around her. Iduna hugged them tightly, feeling a sense of happiness and gratitude. She had been given a second chance, and she was determined to make the most of it. She would do everything in her power to protect and care for her daughters, and she knew that she would always be there for them. The three of them walked into the castle, arm in arm, feeling a sense of peace and happiness that they hadn't felt in days. They knew that they still had challenges ahead of them, but they were together, and that was all that mattered.
