"So let me get this straight." It was a long flight from Freezenburg to Avalor so Sofia spent a good chunk of the time filling Hildegard in on everything from the magic of her amulet to it's history and connection to the Princess of Avalor and Prince Malcolm's evil plans to destroy it. "your amulet is actually magical, and is from the kingdom of Avalor where we are traveling to? And it just so happens that this Princess Elena of Avalor was trapped in the amulet for forty one years until you freed her, and now we are seeking her help to stop this evil prince who believes your amulet is the only thing that can stop him?"

"That's pretty much it yeah."

"You definitely have a strange life."

"It is interesting at times I will admit." Sofia noticed Elena's castle from the distance and realized they had arrived. "We're here, Minimus bring us down." Minimus lowered the two girls at the castle gates, where Sofia quickly jumped off.

"Hildy you stay here and watch Minimus for me while I go find Elena."

"Oh no I am not going to sit here alone with a smelly horse while there is a evil prince out there trying to kill us. I'm coming with you." Hildegard jumped off the horse and ran off with Sofia. Sofia decided it was better not to push the issue, after all Hildegard just watched her father get turned to stone and her kingdom destroyed, witnessing something like that at her age was enough to traumatize her.

"Smelly?" Minimus scoffed offended once the two girls ran off, "Man, I should of left you back in Freezenburg!"

"We need to speak to Princess Elena." Sofia told the guard at the gate.

"Did the Princess summon for you?"

"No but I am a friend of hers from Enchancia and it is really important..."

"Unless Princess Elena summoned for you, you are not allowed to..."

"It's okay Higgins." Elena came down riding on Skyler, one of her Jaguins, which Hildegard instantly took note of.

"What is that?"

"That is a Jaguin, a race of flying creatures on this island."

"And we talk." Skyler replied, causing Hildegard to jump backwards in surprise. "Oh sorry didn't mean to scare you."

"A talking winged Jaguar?" Hildegard gasped "I want one."

"Sorry we are only native to Avalor, and we make horrible pets, what with are singing and recklessness, not to mention we are nearly impossible to castle break."

"What brings you all the way out here Sofia?" Elena asked

"Oh I wish on better terms. But I am in need of your help."

"After helping free me from that Amulet after forty one years I owe you. What is the problem?"

"What do you know about the Amulet of Katmeer?"

"Not much from the top of my head, but there is a book about magical jewels in the castle library."

"We need to see it right now?"

"Why? What's important about it?"

"There is a evil Prince that has possession of it and is wanting to use it to destroy my Amulet."

"What? Why?"

"He believes it is the only thing that can destroy his Amulet, there is a evil wizard trapped in the amulet that he is trying to free, which he won't be able to do if the amulet of Katmeer is destroyed."

"I see, let's see what we can find." Elena led the two girls into the library where the two of them saw Elena's younger sister Isabel sitting on a chair reading a book of her own. Hearing the door open caused Isabel to look up and see who was entering. Her eyes widened and she instantly jumped out of her seat at the sight of Sofia.

"Sofia!" Isabel ran over to her friend and leaped into her arms wrapping her up in a tight hug. "Good to see you again what brings you here?"

"A evil prince trying to kill us." Hildegard said bluntly.

"Hildy!"

"Well it's true!" Hildegard responded

"Wait kill you? Who's trying to kill you, why would anyone try to kill you?"

"It doesn't matter because it's not going to happen." Sofia responded calmly, putting a comforting hand on her shoulders. "But we need a favor, where is your book on magical jewels?"

"Second shelf on your right, on the third row."

"Thanks so much."Sofia ran to the bookshelf and within a few seconds found the book she was looking for. Judging by how dusty it was, nobody had opened the book in a while. Sofia handed the book to Elena, who blew the dust off the cover and took the book to one of the tables in the library and opened it.

"Here it is, the amulet of Katmeer." Elena began, "The amulet of Katmeer originates from the kingdom of Katmeer, located three hundred miles east of Avalor in the Atlantic Ocean. The amulet was created during a volcano eruption, when some lava fell into the water and molded and hardened into stone. The royal sorcerer to the king found the red shining stone and seeing how shiny it was, enchanted it and turned it into a jewel as a gift. Years later some raiders invaded the castle and stole many of the kings jewels, including the amulet. During the escape the amulet somehow fell out of the coach they were driving and nobody seen it sense."

"I was told that Merlin trapped the evil wizard Sirus in it, he must have found it at some point and used it to imprison Sirus." Sofia responded

"Is there anyway to destroy it?" Hildegard asked

"There is one weakness that can be used to destroy it, but it's going to be a little hard to come by. Only something with absolute zero temperature is cold enough to shatter the stone."

"What is the coldest point of Freezenburg Hildegard?"

"Um about fifty below?"

"Will that work?"

"I'm afraid not, the coldest temperatures we have on record have come from the South pole of about two hundred and fifty below. We need something at least that cold to destroy the amulet."

"You think that Cedric has a spell that can create absolute zero temperatures?" Hildegard asked

"Maybe, but even if he does reaching Malcolm's amulet with all the magic he has is going to be a tough task."

"I can lend you all the help you need." Elena asked "I can offer mine and my entire fleet of knights to stop this mad man."

"You don't have to put yourself through all of that for me."

"Sofia you helped save my kingdom, it is now my turn to return the favor."

Malcolm drug himself out of the cold water surrounding Freezenburg. He used heat from his fire powers to help keep himself warm enough to survive the below freezing temperatures of the water. Once on dry land he dried himself off with his fire powers before picking up the amulet that rested around his neck.

"Tell me Sirus, are you able to conjure up a crystal ball? I would like to see what our little enemy is up to?"

"You underestimate the powers that I possess." Sirus growled, right as a crystal ball materialized in Malcolm's right hand. "Look into the ball and ask the ball to show you exactly it is you want to spy on."

"Show me Princess Sofia." a image of Sofia suddenly appeared inside the ball, revealing her to be in the kingdom of Avalor, talking to the Princess.

"I recognize that kingdom," Malcolm said "Avalor."

"The birthplace of Sofia's amulet." Sirus added

"It appears that our little princess is seeking help from the kingdom that created her pesky amulet. How cute. But no matter, I will march down there and destroy that kingdom and all it's civilians."

"Actually I have a better idea." Sirus spoke up.

"Oh really? What do you suggest?"

"There is another sorcerer down there named Shuriki. She and the Princess of Avalor has had a few altercations, and she would love nothing more then get her revenge on both Elena and Sofia. We recruit her and we can offer Avalor up to her as a reward once the two princesses are disposed of."

"Yes, after all I don't need Avalor, this Shuriki girl can have it once I destroy the princesses."

"Then once them and the amulet of Avalor is destroyed I can finally get out of my prison."

"Don't worry my evil wizard friend I haven't forgotten our bargain. Now let's go see this sorceress. But first I think it's time we put this miserable kingdom out of it's misery." Malcolm then stomped his foot on the snowy surface. He smiled manically as the snow suddenly became stone and spread across the whole kingdom. Suddenly the trees, houses and civilians all became stone, freezing in their place with horrified looks on their faces. Within minutes the entire kingdom and all it's citizens were nothing but stone, the sky surrounding the kingdom shined blood red, a sign of the spell laid upon the kingdom. Malcolm walked away laughing at what he had just done. With his powers he could bring a whole kingdom down with just the stomp of his foot. With a second sorcerer on his team, he believed he would be unstoppable.

What? You really didn't think I was going to have Elena in this story and not her arch foe Shuriki did you? You underestimate me.
