Warnings: Freezing, sickness, stabbing
I arrived in a barren and snowy land four days later. I picked up my bag and got off my raft. I dug out my outfit from Kodo and put it on. I stuffed my outfit from Columbia in my bag. I swung my bag over my shoulder and waddled onto the ice like a penguin so I didn't slip.
Once I was a good distance from shore, I built myself an igloo. Then I got out my journal and began to write.

Dear Journal,
We got attacked yesterday so I fled. I arrived in an ice desert. There is no one else here.
Sincerely,
Arianna
I put my journal beside my bed, laid down, and went to sleep.
Three weeks later, it was time for the lantern festival in Corona. I got on my boat and sailed towards Corona.
I arrived in Corona an hour later. The baker was selling cupcakes at his booth in the street. People were dancing and making chalk art in town square. Some people were also selling flags, dolls, and other souvenirs along the sides of town square in wooden booths.
I went over to the baker's brown, wooden booth. "Can I have a pineapple cupcake?" I asked him. The plump, red-headed baker nodded. He handed me a yellow cupcake with white frosting. "Thank you so much!" I told him.
I went into the town square and spun around. The people in the market cheered. I smiled.
I went over to the chalk art station. I outlined baby Rapunzel with the black chalk. I colored her skin with tan chalk. I drew her eyes with the white, green, and black chalk. I colored her lips and gave her some blush with the pink chalk. I colored her dress with purple chalk. I stood up and wiped my brow. "Hey, she drew a picture of the Lost Princess!" A man with tan skin, brown hair, and eyes, wearing a white shirt and brown pants announced. I smiled.
Suddenly, I heard a strong, male voice announce: "To the boats!". I rushed to the docks.
I rowed into the middle of the ocean. As soon as we got to the middle of the ocean, I noticed lights arising from the island. I just watched the lanterns for the rest of the night.
That night, after I got back to Antarctica, I got out my journal and began to write.

Dear Journal,
I went back to Corona today for the Lantern Festival. Again, like last year, nobody recognized me and I didn't get caught. I had a pineapple cupcake. It was good. I danced in town square. I drew a picture of baby Rapunzel with chalk. I saw the floating lanterns! I hope Rapunzel sees them and knows to come home.
Sincerely,
Arianna
I put my journal beside my bed, laid down, and went to sleep.
Four months later, I saw a little, black and grey penguin chick waddling along in the snow. I followed it, also waddling along. It face planted. I picked it up. I saw a bigger black and white penguin a black and grey penguin a few feet away from us. I took the chick to them. They cuddled me. I smiled. But, my smile turned upside down when they walked away. I thought of me, Mom, and Iduna walking together and me, Frederic, and Rapunzel walking together.
That night when I got back to my Igloo, I took out my journal and began to write.

Dear Journal,
I helped a baby penguin get back to its parents today. It made me sad when I saw it with its parents because it reminded me of my family back at home.
Sincerely,
Arianna
I put my journal beside my bed, laid down, and went to sleep.
Five months later, I was on the edge of the iceberg when I saw grey seals with black spots and brown seals with long trunks like elephants. I went over to them. I saw a little grey seal with black spots crawl over to me. I picked it up. It made a humming sound. "Baby, you remind me of my best friend back at home." I lamented as I thought of Frederic. He loved seals. I put it back down and went back to my Igloo.
That night when I got back to my Igloo, I took out my journal and began to write.

Dear Journal,
I held a baby seal today. That made me think of Frederic. That made me sad.
Sincerely,

Two months later, I was on the edge of the iceberg. I saw a black whale with a white stomach and white splotches around its eyes jump up. I smiled. I saw a long, blue whale jump up. I smiled. I saw a blue whale with a hunched back jump up. I smiled. I was getting cold, so I went back to my tent

Dear Journal,
I went whale watching today. It was cool.
Sincerely,
Arianna

I woke up one month later shivering. I grabbed my bag. It felt unusually heavy. I crawled over to my raft. I rolled on it. I fell asleep.
An hour later, my raft dock. I woke up. I hear footsteps. "Go get the doctor." I heard a female voice say. A few minutes later, I hear more footsteps. I felt my body being lifted up.
A few minutes later, I felt my body being set down. "How do you feel?" A gentle female voice asked me. I was only able to shiver. "Get her a warm drink while I bathe her.". I hear footsteps go out of the room. I felt my body being lifted up again.
I felt my body being moved. A couple of minutes later, I felt my body being set down again. "I'm going to give you a bath." I heard the female voice explain as she undressed me. I shivered. I felt my body being moved. A few seconds later, I felt my body being set down in warm water. I cooed. The doctor took a gentle rag and washed me. "I'm going to wash your hair." I heard the doctor explain. I heard a bottle of shampoo being squeezed. I felt my hair being washed. I don't like my hair getting wet so I let out a cry. "Shh, shh" I heard the doctor cooed franctly. She rinsed my hair, got me out, dried me, dressed me in a warm gown, and took me over to my bed.
She tucked me in the bed and bundled me in warm blankets. I heard footsteps come into the room. "I brought some hot cocoa for her." I heard a male voice explain.
"Thank you," I heard the doctor reply. I felt my head being lifted up. I felt cool glass being pressed to my lips. I shivered. "Drink this." I heard the doctor tell me. I drank it. It was warm and sweet. I felt my lips being wiped with a soft handkerchief. I fell asleep.
Later, that evening, I heard footsteps come into the room. "Hello, Doctor." I heard the female doctor greet them.
"I was told that we were going to do a blood rewarming procedure on her, is that correct?" A male voice questioned. The other doctor must have nodded because I heard footsteps come near my bed. I felt my arm being set down on the table. I felt my arm being scratched with a small knife. I passed out.
I woke up the next morning feeling much warmer. I opened my eyes to about ten people wearing teal suits. I saw a man with brown skin, eyes, and hair wearing a white coat standing in front of me. "Are you okay? You passed out during the blood warming procedure last night." He asked me. I nodded.
I was released from the hospital that afternoon. I decided to leave after that. I got on the raft, pulled out my journal, and began to write.

Dear Journal,
I got sick from the cold yesterday and had to leave. I wonder where I will go next.
Sincerely,
Arianna
I hugged my journal and looked up at the sky.
