**Chapter 10: Elsa and Anna Arrive**

The sun had barely risen over the Southern Isles, casting a warm glow over the castle walls. Iduna sat beside Hans' bed, gently monitoring his condition. She had been tasked by Queen Alice to care for him, and she was determined to help him recover from his mental breakdown. As she worked, she couldn't help but think about the circumstances that had led him to this point. The humiliation he had suffered at the hands of his brothers, Rudi and Runo, still lingered in her mind. Just as Iduna was finishing up her tasks, a knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. "Come in," she said, her voice soft. The door opened, and Lars, one of King Hans' 12 sons, entered the room. "Your Majesty," he said, bowing low. "I brought Elsa and Anna, as you requested." Iduna's heart swelled with love and gratitude as she saw her daughters, Elsa and Anna, enter the room. They had been brought to the Southern Isles by Lars, and now they were finally reunited. Iduna's eyes met her daughters', and she could see the concern and love shining in their eyes. "Mom," Elsa said, rushing to her side. "We're so glad we're here. We were worried about you." Iduna smiled, her eyes filling with tears. "I'm okay, sweethearts," she said. "I'm just a little shaken up. But I'm so glad you're here with me now." Anna nodded, her expression determined. "We're not going to leave your side, Mom," she said. "We're going to help you through this." Iduna's heart swelled with love and gratitude as she looked at her daughters. She knew that they would be instrumental in helping Hans recover, and she was grateful to have them by her side. As they approached Hans' bed, Iduna could see the concern in his eyes. He was still weak and fragile, but as he looked at Elsa and Anna, a small smile played on his lips. "Hello," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Elsa and Anna smiled, their eyes shining with kindness. "Hello," Elsa said. "We're glad to see you're okay." Iduna nodded, her expression encouraging. "They're going to help us take care of you, Hans," she said. "We're all in this together now." As the day went on, Iduna, Elsa, and Anna worked together to help Hans recover. They fed him, talked to him, and encouraged him to rest. Iduna was amazed at how quickly Hans responded to their care, and she knew that it was all thanks to the love and support of her daughters. As the sun began to set, Iduna looked at her daughters with pride and gratitude. "Thank you, girls," she said. "You've been a huge help. I don't know what I would do without you." Elsa and Anna smiled, their eyes shining with love. "We're always here for you, Mom," Elsa said. "And for Hans. We're a team now." Iduna nodded, her expression determined. Together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead, and they would emerge stronger, more resilient, and more united than ever. As night fell, Iduna, Elsa, and Anna sat beside Hans' bed, holding his hands and talking softly to him. They knew that he still had a long way to go, but they were determined to be there for him every step of the way. In that moment, Iduna knew that she had found a new family, a new purpose. She would do everything in her power to help Hans recover, to help him find his way again. And with Elsa and Anna by her side, she knew that they could overcome anything.
