The Truth About Queen Elsa's Origins And Rapunzel's Healing Powers

I was reading my 3-Minute J.R.R. Tolkien book just now and found something interesting.

Tolkien's first long poem was about a star called Earendel the Evening Star. This is obviously a different spelling of the name Arendelle, the name of the kingdom in Frozen, which means that the kingdom and the Evening Star must be the same place.

Some of the elves in The Lord of the Rings have the power to control The Elements; for instance, Arwen did the magic that made the river wipe out the Black Riders. In the book, Galadriel gives Sam a little box of Magic Dirt that can make trees and flowers grow in barren places. Elsa can make ice and snow using Sheer Mindpower, and therefore, we may safely assume that she is also an elf.

Anna is not an elf. She doesn't have magic, and she doesn't have the Grace And Poise of an elf. So how, you may ask, are Anna and Elsa sisters?

This is what happened: in the 1960s, or whenever it was, when Man first began to build rockets and fly them into space, some astronauts landed their rocket on Earendel (or Arendelle), the Evening Star. They were delighted at the discoveries they made there, and rejoiced at their success. When they came back to Earth, they told everyone about the Evening Star and its beauty. But then, a greedy, selfish, power-hungry man decided to build his own rocket, fill it with his henchmen, and fly it to Earendel where he would take control over the Elves and be the Ruler Of His Own Planet.

When the Dreadful Man had established his rule in Earendel, he wreaked Havoc And Chaos. He enslaved the Elves and made their lives miserable. One Elf Maiden was determined to save her baby daughter from the Havoc and Chaos, so she placed her in a basket and set the basket out on the River.

The basket floated to the Dreadful Man's Palace, where it was found by the Dreadful Man's Kind Son. The Dreadful Man's Kind Son discovered a beautiful Elven Baby Girl with white hair in the basket, and decided to keep her and raise her in secret.

When the Dreadful Man had died, the Dreadful Man's Kind Son took over the Evening Star along with his wife and his Adopted Elf Daughter, Elsa. Unfortunately, by this time, all the other elves had fled, or had died in the Havoc and Chaos, and Elsa was the only elf left. (Side note: one of the elves who had the same abilities as Elsa fled to Earth where he used his Magic to serve the citizens of Earth and later was known as Frozone).

The new ruler of Earendel restored order on the planet, and he and his wife raised their two daughters with Parently Goodness. But, sadly, when the King and Queen were called across the Sea to combat the Evil of Sauron, they perished in a storm.

If you want to know what happens after that, just watch Frozen. 

There is a theory I've come across on Pinterest that says that Elsa and Anna are Rapunzel's cousins. This cannot be true, because Rapunzel lives in Narnia. I know that because

Rapunzel's healing powers come from a flower which was created when a Drop Of Sunlight fell from the Sky. Queen Lucy of Narnia has a cordial made from the juice of the Fire Flowers which also has healing powers. Rapunzel's flower and the Fire Flowers are obviously the same species. And I don't think evolution permits for the exact same species to grow spontaneously on separate planets.
