Come discuss.
Here's part of the text and pic related is the full thing.
>I ease myself down on the bed, reaching to grab my knitting needles and my half-finished project. An inappropriate task under the circumstances, but perhaps the only thing that might steady my hands—my pounding heart. I can hear Agnarr push open the door, his strong, solid presence filling the room. But I don't look up. Instead, I start to knit as the ship rocks beneath my feet. It's dark down below, too dark to really see the delicate yarn, but my hands are sure and true, the repetitive motions as natural and familiar to me as taking in air. Yelana would be proud.
>Yelana. Is she still out there, in the Enchanted Forest, still locked in the mist?
>Only Ahtohallan knows.
>Suddenly, I want to throw my needles across the room. Or collapse on the bed in tears. But I do neither, keeping my attention on the unfinished shawl. Forcing myself to let each stitch lull me into something resembling comfort.
>Agnarr pulls out a wooden stool from the captain's desk, sitting down across from me. He picks up a corner of the unfinished shawl, running his large fingers across the tiny stitches. I dare to sneak a peek at him, realizing his eyes have become soft and faraway.
>"This is the same pattern," he says slowly. And I know what he means without asking. Because of course it is. I hadn't even realized it when I started, but of course it is.
>The same pattern as the shawl my mother knitted me when I was a baby.
>The shawl that saved his life.
>"It's an old Northuldra pattern," I explain, surprised how easily the words leave my mouth now that the truth is known. "Belonging to my family." I pick up his hand and place it on each symbol in turn. "Earth, fire, water, wind." I pause on the wind symbol, thinking back to
>Gale. "It was the Wind Spirit who helped me save your life that day in the forest."
>He gives a low whistle. "A wind spirit! If only I'd known," he says, reaching up to brush his thumb gently across my cheek.
Time sure flies, we're closer and closer to this release
So Nokk is the hero of this story.
>Iduna also used to call the wind spirit Gale.
I need a good lore explanation for this.
I'm dumb. What was the reason Iduna's origins were a secret?
Is "King of _____" of surname for royals of the time?
It really bothers me that it's gone on this long, and the royal family still has no last name.
She's a filthy Northuldra, which is the tribe that killed King Runeard, Arendelle's former ruler and Iduna's father-in-law.
>"Hi, honey. Don't mean to bother you, but remember that little race war that resulted in all of your people being kicked out of the Northlands and your Father dying? I'm one of them."
I wonder.
Ohhh, I've totally missed the fact that Runeard died during that day too. Sorry, I really am dumb.
Genetic memory, or I guess in this case it would be water memory, pass down to Elsa and then Olaf.
Iduna was never a good person. She ran away to ensure herself a life of luxury while her old family was trapped in hell, then stood in silence while her children suffered, out of fear her past would be exposed. There is absolutely no redeeming her.
>More Iduna
>high possibility of story literally ending with Nokk drowning Iduna
I'm hyped for justice
I'm excited. Iduna is literally the only compelling character in Frozen because so much of her past and motivations are a complete mystery.
They wouldn't dare to put that.
Ya'll really going to keep pushing this meme?
How about this:
>In the pouring rain and crashing waves, Iduna looks out at the ocean one last time
>She thinks she sees Nokk staring at her in the distance, but it's not clear if it's real or just a hallucination
>meme
user, they died on his turf, he has full control over that storm, as was demonstrated in F2 when Elsa tamed him, what other proof do you need that he killed them, or at the very least is indirectly responsible for their deaths?
>Iduna feels a pressure on her chest as she sinks below the waves, but she's losing consciousness fast, and doesn't know if it's her loving husband's hand, or Nokk's cruel hoof sending her to the depths...
But she saved Agnarr's life
How did they die on his turf? Do you even know where that is?
>more new content
NIIIICE
In F2 they reveal their ship went down in the dark sea, guess who guards the dark sea
Dumb-user again. So that was actually Nøkk beneath the water, not some random piranha-style shit? Huh.
Bruni?
user, they died in the dark sea.
That's Nokk's territory.
Please don't be so dense.
Yes, that's Nokk.
Yes, Olaf is the first one to see all four spirits during his song, except the Earth Giants, unless you count the boulder that nearly crushed him.
>Agnarr goes mad from betrayal by the end of Iduna’s tale
>starts trying to strangle her on the bed
>Iduna, panicked and fighting, prays to the spirits in her head
>Nokk answers
>slams into Agnarr, saving Iduna
>the force of a massive water god slamming through the hull of the ship sinks it
Whoops
Oh, you're playing dumb. Never mind then.
>The shawl she was knitting was supposed to give them the protection of the spirits, but she accidentally made Nokk’s symbol upside down.
I don't know why Nokk gets such bad rep for killing Agnarr and Iduna, they were terrible people, especially Iduna.
I consider Agnarr another victim of Iduna at this point.
I like how both those posts actually make sense.
This is going to be a normal story book, not a younger audience targeted thing with more pictures than text, right?
