**Chapter 3: Recovery and Revelation**

Days passed, and Iduna slowly began to regain her strength. King Westergaard's physicians tended to her wounds, and she was fed nourishing food to help her recover. As she rested, Iduna's mind began to clear, and she remembered the events leading up to the shipwreck. She recalled the stormy night, the sound of the waves crashing against the ship, and the feeling of being torn from Agnarr's arms. The pain of Agnarr's loss washed over her, and Iduna felt a lump form in her throat. She had loved her husband dearly, and his death was a devastating blow. Tears streamed down her face as she mourned the loss of her partner and friend. King Westergaard, observing her distress, nodded sympathetically. "I know this must be a difficult time for you, Your Majesty. But I assure you, you are safe here. We will do everything in our power to help you recover and find a way to reclaim your throne." As Iduna composed herself, King Westergaard began to share news of Arendelle. Iduna listened intently, learning of the turmoil that had befallen her kingdom. She heard of Elsa's struggles to control her powers and Anna's efforts to help her sister. Iduna's heart ached with worry, but she was grateful to know that her daughters were alive and well. King Westergaard's expression turned grave as he spoke of the current state of Arendelle. "The kingdom is in disarray, Your Majesty. With King Agnarr's passing, the nobles are vying for power, and the people are suffering. But with your return, we can work towards restoring order and ensuring the well-being of your people." Iduna's determination grew as she listened to King Westergaard's words. She knew that she had a long road to recovery ahead of her, but she was resolute in her determination to reclaim her throne and rebuild her life. As she looked at King Westergaard, she saw a kindred spirit, a leader who understood the weight of responsibility and the importance of compassion. The days turned into weeks, and Iduna's strength continued to grow. She began to take short walks around the castle, accompanied by King Westergaard or one of his guards. The fresh air and exercise helped to clear her mind, and she started to think more clearly about her future. One day, as Iduna was walking in the gardens, she saw a group of children playing together. Among them were two young girls, Elsa and Anna, who looked eerily familiar. Iduna's heart skipped a beat as she realized that they might be her daughters. She felt a surge of hope and longing, and she quickened her pace, eager to meet the girls and learn more about them. King Westergaard, noticing Iduna's interest in the children, approached her. "Those are indeed your daughters, Your Majesty," he said, his eyes warm with kindness. "They were brought here by Lars, one of the princes from the southern isles. He told us that they were traveling to Ahtohallan to find you, but they were separated from their group and ended up here." Iduna's face lit up with joy, and she felt a sense of wonder. She had so many questions about her daughters and how they had ended up here. As she watched Elsa and Anna play, she felt a sense of gratitude towards King Westergaard and the people of the southern isles. They had taken her in, cared for her, and now, they had brought her daughters to her. The revelation brought a sense of hope and renewal to Iduna. She knew that she still had a long way to go, but with her daughters by her side, she felt a sense of purpose and determination. She was ready to face the challenges ahead, to reclaim her throne, and to rebuild her life.
