(Written and sung by me, Nim.)

Anna is alone in her chambers, dressed for the coronation. It is almost time for her to be escorted to the chapel.

She approaches the window and, just as Elsa did on her coronation day, looks over the citizens gathering for the presentation. She's feeling the weight of this impending responsibility, but reminds herself of those "certain certainties"; she momentarily admires her engagement ring, which glints in the light. ("Finally I am home")

Anna's eyes shut as she remembers the pain she experienced on her recent quest. As she opens her eyes, she makes the choice to move forward. ("My eyes are open wide")

She opens the doors to her chambers and makes her way down the dim hall, considering that the throne may have been her true destiny all along. ("I'm ready to rule")

As she strides down the halls now, Anna finds herself wanting to commit to her new-found independence and position of leadership. The portraits of Arendelle's previous rulers hang between Anna and her destination. She gazes at her sister's likeness and resolves to make her proud. ("I'm more than just a spare")

Anna's movements become more expressive: she nears the front gates of the castle with pride in her step. Her hands make fists and then release as she sings her self-declaration. ("Be the queen that you are")

Royal staff and castle guards are ready to see Anna off - the carriage door is open and the footman extends his hand to assist her. Instead of stepping into the carriage, she takes his hand in her own and places her other hand on top, smiling: a gesture of her appreciation. A guard, standing, holds the reins of Anna's horse, Kjekk. Anna, a few steps away, approaches. Knowingly and kindly, the guard extends the reins to her. We see the reactions of the royal staff as she mounts the horse; their somewhat shocked expressions are not disapproving, but inspired.

Anna's unconventional decision signifys a new chapter in the lineage, and from the sky, we look down on her as she rides solo toward the chapel. ("The next right thing simply can't wait") Our vantage point outruns our view of Anna through a fog, and when it dissipates, we see Elsa, the Fifth Spirit, riding the Nokk across the surface of the sea. ("Where the North Wind meets the Sea")

Our view comes down to Elsa's level. She halts with a slight lurch - we learn from her somewhat longing, but sweet, expression that she can sense Anna's changing moment is just about to happen, miles away. As the choir sings "All Is Found" as homage to Iduna, Anna glides down the aisle. The two scenes interplay, connecting the sisters in this moment. Anna and Elsa can both "feel" their mother singing, "Come, my darling," beckoning Anna to her destiny. Anna stands upright, facing the room full of onlookers. Elsa feels peace in having passed the torch, and swings the Nokk back into a gallop.
Anna is crowned. ("I am crowned")

The remainder is not sung aloud by Anna, but rather in her mind. We see moments from the rest of coronation day: Anna's first presentation as Queen to the applauding crowds of citizens. Dancing in the square, Kristoff proudly taking her in his arms.

Our view of the celebration draws back, allowing a gradually fuller picture of the kingdom, then bringing us to the final scene: our view draws us back from the center of Queen Anna's portrait, hung on the wall of the castle, until it is in full view, then fades.

Just a reminder, I only wrote this as a different take on this song. I love the original song and ending to Frozen 2. It's just for fun. :)
