Sofia : The Mystic Isles: Saving Cedric
In the Mystic Isles, Orion just got a call from Atticus about a special emergency that requires Ever Realm beings to come to the Mystic Isles. Plus he is stunned and surprised to learn that the emergency request came from Enrique who is an old friend of his. Vega looks at Orion as she can tell that something is going on. "Orion, what's going on"? Vega asks Orion as she is wondering about things.
Orion looks at Vega as he nods as he needs to explain. "An old friend of mine in the Grand Magical called, his son-in-law needs to come to the Isle of Paladins for a Light Stone for an emergency. A royal sorcerer is under the forbidden spell Innermus Darkness spell". Orion said to Vega as he explains the situation.
Vega is stunned as she hears that one correctly. "What, that spell has been cast in the Ever Realm? That spell has been sealed away on the Isle of Paladins for centuries. How did it get to the Ever Realm"? Vega said to Orion as she is wondering how it is possible that particular spell got to the Ever Realm.
Orion looks at Vega as it is a good question to figure out. "I don't know Vega. I am going to send Prince Daniel as the escort to get them to the Isle of Paladins and let Rhineheart know that Ever Realm beings are coming". Orion said to Vega as he informs her about the plan.
Vega nods as she looks at Orion as it is a very good plan. "Great plan Orion, plus it will make sense for Daniel to take them there. However, have you noticed something going on with Chrysta lately? I mean last night it is like she is picking up on something being wrong in the Ever Realm but I have stopped her from going to the Ever Realm to check things out. Come to think of it, it even happened on that day of the Medusa Stone incident". Vega said to Orion as she explains it to him.
Orion looks at Vega as he ponders about it. "I have to agree with you Vega. I don't think that she got hit with something but more unknowingly intuned with someone for some unknown reason". Orion said to Vega as that is going on.
Vega nods as Prince Daniel arrives at the headquarters. "Orion, what is going on"? Prince Daniel asks Orion as he is curious about his new assignment.
Orion looks at Prince Daniel as he nods to him as shows him what it is. "Your mission is to escort these royals from the Ever Realm to the Isle of Paladins to get a light stone. It is an emergency matter to them". Orion said to Prince Daniel as he explains the emergency.
Prince Daniel nods as he looks at the group of royals having breakfast in the Ever Realm. "Very well Orion, who am I going to ask for when I get there"? Prince Daniel asks Orion as he is wondering about it.
Orion looks at Prince Daniel as he nods to him. "You will be asking for King Roland the second of Enchancia". Orion said to Prince Daniel as he explains to him the person that he will be asking for.
Prince Daniel nods as he understands the assignment. "Understood Orion", Prince to him as he gets some unicorns for them to ride on as he got going towards the Ever Realm. However, he does not realize that he is being watched by Marnie as she heads towards the Isle of Paladins to warn a cohort of hers about it.
On the Isle of Paladins, Marnie meets up with a Paladin named Flynn as today is the day of the Light Stone Tree Festival. She frowns as she notices that there is added security at the festival from the previous theft of the practice stone. "Flynn, it seems that protector that stopped me from delivering the Light Stone to Renee is going to the Ever Realm to bring them to this isle to get a light stone". Marnie said to Flynn as she informs him of the situation.
The man named Flynn looks at Marnie as he smirks at her comes up with a plan. "We will just let them walk to the Light Stone carrier to Lake Light Dawn. Then just as that light stone gets its power, that's when we will ambush them and take the light stone for the delivery purpose to Renee". Flynn said to Marnie as he explains the plan. Marnie nods in agreement as they come up with a plan together as they are getting ready to execute the plan.
...
Back in the Ever Realm at the kingdom of Enchancia, everyone is in a solemn mood as Cedric is still at Hexley Hall in the cocoon. Amber is in her room as she is thinking about her soon-to-be new room on Alice's floor. She has tears in her eyes as she thinks about what happened with Cedric.
Roland is walking by as he notices that Amber is about to cry again. He has a lot on his mind as he just learned something else that was never spoken about from Cedric that took place years ago. "Amber, what's wrong"? Roland asks Amber as he sits next to her and comforts her.
Amber looks at Roland as she is getting mad and upset. "Dad, how could this have happened to Cedric? I mean James and I were with him when he collapsed and that strange cocoon. Madeline was more calm and helpful than I was to get things done. While I, I was useless to help and get upset that it happened". Amber said to Roland as she is upset and crying.
Roland looks at Amber as he tries to comfort her as it is a good question. "I don't know Amber. Plus Lady Agatha said that the seed got implanted into him before we all left for Avalor for the wedding. It happened underneath our noses this whole time". Roland said to Amber as he explains it to her.
Amber looks at Roland as if it does make sense to her. "Yeah but, it has made me wonder why James and I are not super close with Cedric like Madeline and Sofia are. I mean they don't take him for granted as I have done. Plus they don't treat him lower than dirt. They have given more respect to him and always defended him more than James and I have ever done". Amber said to Roland as she states a lot of things about them.
Roland looks at Amber as he sighs to her as if it is something that needs to be explained. "Well Amber, for the longest time, Cedric has kept his distance from you and James for a lot of reasons. It is nothing that the both of you did, but it is something that I did to him". Roland said to Amber as he explains it.
Amber looks at Roland as she is stunned about it as she gets up from bed. "It is something that you did, so could that be that inner darkness scar thing that Lady Agatha was talking about yesterday"? Amber asks Roland as she is wondering about it.
Roland got up as he walked toward Amber as he shakes her head to her. "I highly doubt that I am one of those scars Amber. Lady Agatha said that a person needs to be brought to justice". Roland said to Amber as he is wondering who they are as well.
Amber looks at Roland as she is getting frustrated about it. "Then who did this to Cedric". Amber said to Roland as she puts her hand on the wall. All of the sudden, the wall turns as she and Roland are in the secret passageway as they are stunned by this.
Roland is stunned as he bangs on the wall. "That's strange, I had no idea that this wall turned like this". Roland said to Amber as they are wondering how to get out of here.
Amber looks at Roland as she is surprised about it as well. "Neither did I dad, we should at least find out where this goes right". Amber said to Roland as she urges him to head that way.
Roland nods as they walk down the passageway together. As they come up to a waterway, they are stunned by this discovery as this is getting much deeper. "There is a waterway down here". Roland said to Amber as he didn't know this.
Amber is stunned as she doesn't know about it either. "I am surprised like you are daddy". Amber said to Roland as she is wondering who else knows about this.
As they hear footsteps coming this way, Roland and Amber hide in the hallway. As they spot Sofia and Madeline heading that way, they are stunned by it as they see them. "Sofia, Madeline, what are you two doing down here"? Roland asks them as he is wondering about it.
Sofia and Madeline are stunned to see Roland and Amber down here as the boat appears to them. "We have a place that we need to be. What are you two doing down here"? Sofia asks them and Madeline agrees as this is unexpected as well.
Amber looks at them as she explains it. "Well, dad was comforting me and all of the sudden the wall turned and we end up in the passageway and we walked towards the waterway.
As the gondola shows up, Roland is stunned and surprised by it. Madeline looks at Amber as she sighs to them. "Sofia and I have a place that we need to be". Madeline said to them as she gets on the boat.
Roland looks at them as Sofia also gets in the boat. "Hold on girls, how do you know about this exactly"? Roland asks them as Amber gets on the boat.
Sofia looks at them as Madeline is getting annoyed that Amber gets on board. "Amber, dad, it is rather complicated to explain. Plus you both need to turn back please". Sofia said to them as they are trying to get them to turn back.
Amber looks at them as she shakes her head no to them. "No way, I want to know everything". Amber said to them as Roland agrees as he is wondering about it.
As the boat got moving, Sofia and Madeline reluctantly tell them about how the amulet summons them to the secret library for a story-keeping mission and how Tilly also got involved with it. Roland looks at them as he sighs as he should have realized it. "I should have figured that Tilly was keeping things from me. She always went on her adventures and never told me about it either". Roland said to them as the boat arrives at their destination.
Sofia looks at them as they got to the gate of the library. She places the book in as it opens the gate to let them in. Roland and Amber are stunned by the unique library as they went to the bench to sit. Madeline looks at them. "Here comes a book now". Madeline said to them as the books are glowing as it selects a new book to complete as it went to them.
Roland looks at the book and the title as it has a very unique tree on the cover. "The Tale of the Light Stone Tree". Roland said to them as the book went to the giant thing.
"In the Mystic Isles, on the Isle of Paladins, there is a very special tree called the Light Stone Tree. It grows light stones to be used in powerful magical healing and it is also used for other orb-like items for wizards, sorcerers, and witches. Every summer, the Light Stone Tree Festival takes place where the light stone carrier brings the first light stone of the summer to Lake Dawn Light to receive its special powers. However, there is an evil Paladin and a thief that wants to drain its power and fill it with dark energy to be brought to a woman in the Ever Realm for her purposes. But there is an ever-realm prince that tried to stop them once but they have gotten away, and the theft and the Paladin will try again to get the light stone". The voice of the library said to them as the story ends rather abruptly.
Roland and Amber look at them as it ended rather quickly. "So that's the story, where is the rest of it"? Roland asks them as he is wondering about it.
Sofia looks at Roland as she sighs to them. "We have to give it a happy ending. Madeline and I have to go to the Mystic Isles and help an Ever Realm Prince to stop that Paladin and thief". Sofia said to them as they got going.
Amber looks at them as she stops them. "I am coming too. It is not fair that you and Madeline have these amulets and go on secret adventures. I am older than the both of you so how come that you two end up with amulets and not me". Amber said to them as she is wondering about it.
Madeline looks at Amber as she can see that. "I am sorry Amber but this mission could get dangerous. Sofia and I should go on this mission". Madeline said to Amber as she tried to explain it to her.
Roland looks at them as they do need to go to the Mystic Isles. "Girls, we do need to go to the Mystic Isles to get that light stone to help Cedric. It seems that this story has coincided with it as well". Roland said to them as he puts a stop to their quarrel.
Sofia looks at them as she sighs to them. "Ok, the both of you can come this one time. We are keeping the story and helping Mr. Cedric". Sofia said to them as they got back on the gondolas to head back to the main part of the castle as they found the lever to get back to the main part of the castle. "Amber wear something like you are going on an adventure with us and meet us out front". Madeline said to Amber as she looks at Roland. "Dad, Grandfather Enrique said that he will take care of getting to the Mystic Isles. Has he come through with it"? Madeline asks Roland about it as Sofia is also wondering about it.
Roland nods as he looks at them as he did receive word from him. "Yes, I don't know how he did it, but he said that a friend of his is sending someone to give us an escort to the Isle of Paladins". Roland said to Madeline as they are getting ready to go.
...
Outside of the castle, Prince Daniel is arriving as he has several unicorns with him. He is getting a bit nervous as this is his first time to be at the Enchancia Royal castle. He gets off of his unicorn as he went to the front door and knocks on the door.
Baileywick answers the door as Enrique is with him as he looks at the teenage boy. "May I help you"? Baileywick asks the teenager as he does not realize that he is on a special assignment.
Prince Daniel looks at them as he notices Baileywick as his nerves are getting the better of him. "My name is Prince Daniel of Wimonia. I am here to speak to and pick up King Roland the Second of Enchancia and company". Prince Daniel said to Baileywick as he is very civil and polite.
Baileywick is stunned as he sees how polite Prince Daniel is. "Sure please come in", Baikeywick said to Prince Daniel as he lets him in.
Enrique looks at the boy as he notices the magical item on his wrist as the three of them walk into the castle. "Baileywick, I got this". Enrique said to Baileywick as he will talk to him. Baileywick looks at Enrique as he nods and understands went to get King Roland. "Orion must have sent you didn't he". Enrique said to Prince Daniel as he figured it out very easily.
Prince Daniel is stunned as he looks at the grandfather. "Yes sir he did. How did you know and do you know Orion". Prince Daniel asks Enrique as he is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Prince Daniel as he has a grin on his face. "Orion happens to be an old friend of mine. When a dire situation arises, you can always make a new friend or ally". Enrique said to Prince Daniel as it is not long that Roland, Amber, Sofia, and Madeline head toward them as they said their goodbye to Miranda.
Prince Daniel looks at Enrique as he sees the people that he is going to escort. "I understand". Prince Daniel said to Enrique as it is not long that they went up to the grandfather and Prince.
Roland looks at the teenage boy as he is surprised by him. "I am King Roland the second. I take it that you are here to pick us up for the Mystic Isles". Roland said to the teenage prince as the kids are stunned to see the teenage boy.
Prince Daniel nods as he looks at King Roland and the three girls. "Yes sir, your majesty, my name is Prince Daniel of Wimonia and protector of the Ever Realm. The unicorns are outside are you and company ready to go". Prince Daniel said to them as the five of them went outside.
Roland nods as they went with them as they got on the unicorns. The girls are surprised that the teenager is a protector. "Yes, we are". Roland said to Daniel as he is equally surprised by it.
As they got going, Prince Daniel looks at them as this mission is getting on to the right start. Sofia went toward Daniel as she has a lot of questions. "So if you are a protector of the Ever Realm, then why are we going into the Mystic Isles"? Sofia asks Daniel as she has her questions.
Daniel looks at Sofia as he is wondering if she is having a silly question moment. "Well, that's because I am the first person from the Ever Realm to get training and a full-fledged protector in the Mystic Isles. For eons, it has always been magical creatures and beings become a protector. However, with me, they saw how courageous I was when I was an 8-year-old kid. Ever since then, I got the training to become a protector and it has been history ever since". Daniel said to them as he explains it.
The group is stunned as they learn about it. "Pour Que, you were 8 years old when you became a protector". Madeline said to Daniel as she is very surprised by it. Roland looks at Madeline as she spoke a French word to Daniel.
Daniel looks at Madeline as if he knows what the French word means as he is very solemn by the fact that she can speak French. "Yeah, I made the record for the youngest protector in training". Daniel said to them as Amber and Sofia see how he has gotten solemn all of the sudden.
Roland looks at Daniel as he is deeply surprised by the revelation like he is speechless. "Wow, umm do your parents know about it"? Roland asks Daniel as this is something that the parents would know.
Daniel looks at Roland as he nods to him. "Well, my dad knows about it and is super supportive of it and keeps a secret from my mother. We have a great relationship. However, my mother, she and I have a non-existent relationship. Plus whenever we talk, she is always mean and cruel towards me". Daniel said to Roland as he opens up about her.
The girls are stunned as they look at Daniel as are very confused. "Maybe we can help to get your relationship with your mom a lot better Daniel". Sofia said to Daniel as Madeline also agrees with her.
Daniel sighs as he looks at them as they do not get it. "You don't understand. My mother is a piece of work. She doesn't show unconditional love towards me. I do not even know why that is". Daniel said to them as a song is starting.
I have always wondered what it would be like to have a loving mother
Having that mother who is loving and kind and show that unconditional love
But it seems for me it only exists in my dreams
Every time I see my friends from school going with their mothers
My heart swells with sadness and jealousy
Because the mother that I have is cruel and mean
I just don't understand why my mother is like that towards me
But as long as I could remember in my dreams I look up at a woman's face and see her blue eyes smiling down on me
Yet again, I am being pulled away from her no matter how hard I try to reach out to her
I have always wondered who is the the woman with my blue eyes to this day.
As the song ends, the girls look at Daniel as they are starting to understand that now. "I get it now. You want to have a real and true mom, but you are stuck with a horrible mother". Amber said to Daniel as she getting it.
Daniel looks at Amber as he lightly smiles to her as it exactly it. "Yeah you got it". Daniel said to them as they head into the Mystic Isles.
...
Back at the Enchancia Castle, Miranda sighs as she is worried about Cedric as Roland, Madeline, Amber, and Sofia are on the way to the Mystic Isles to get the light stone on the Isle of Paladins. She ponders about things as she did invite Lorenzo to come over for a talk and tea. The two of them are sitting in the living room together as it is not long that Baileywick brings in tea for them to have. "Thank you for coming over like this Lorenzo, it has been hard several days". Miranda said to Lorenzo as she thinks about the kids and Cedric.
Lorenzo nods as he looks at Miranda as it has been hard on Rosa. "You're welcome, Rosa has been taking Rebecca's passing hard since she took her under her wing when she was dating Rodrigo. I have been right by Rosa's side. Rebecca was a wonderful person and didn't deserve that. Plus Rosa and I believe that Rebecca's passing was premeditated. Lorenzo said to Miranda as he wants to find out who did that to her.
Miranda nods as she looks at Lorenzo as learns that the passing has been hard on Rosa. "I agree with that deeply Lorenzo. I want to ask you about yours and Gabriella's mother". Miranda said to Lorenzo as she is wondering about their mother.
Lorenzo looks at Miranda as he nods to her as he does miss her. "My mom, she is a wonderful person. Her name is Esmeralda. When Gabriella was very young, she and her dad got a divorce. They have fallen out of love and grew to become different people that wanted different things. The straw that broke the came back and writing on the wall was when Angelo passed away, our older brother. She is a sorceress and a potions master. When we moved, she raised us and co-parented with dad. It was a very unique family dynamic considering that we moved to Wimonia after Shuriki took over. At that time, Simon was ruled by an awful woman named Queen Trinity. Mom and dad picked a house that was further away from the villages that way they will not be noticed. They instructed Gabriella and me not to talk about family life in the kingdom. Plus we got to see dad every other week as well. However as the years went by, we stayed out of trouble and among other things. However the real trouble began 10 years ago, by then Gabriella had her daughter and she was roughly five months old. Dad and I got a letter from Gabriella telling us that mom had gotten arrested by strange knights for having a conversation. When we went to talk to her about it, she told us that she was holding Madeline when it happened right in front of her. When I asked Gabriella what the conversation was about, she couldn't talk about it. All she said was that witch followed through with her promise of what she will do. Dad was furious and wrote letters to the king to have Esmeralda released and the arrest was for nonsense reasons. He even went to the king to demand an explanation. He never got that audience with him and got a notice that my mother's arrest was according to the law. We tried to get it overturned for a year. We got stonewalled each time. We pretty much moved to Novanima since that king has let me and my dad down". Lorenzo said to Miranda as he explained to her about it.
Miranda looks at Lorenzo as it explains Fernando's reaction to seeing King Charles the second yesterday. "That would explain why Fernando and my dad were really angry at King Charles the second. Plus I find it strange to arrest someone for having a conversation". Miranda said to Lorenzo as she is wondering what the conversation was about.
Lorenzo nods as he looks at Miranda as it is a huge mystery. "The only clue about my mom is that she is still alive according to our family tree scroll". Lorenzo said to Miranda as he shows her the family tree scroll.
Miranda nods as she looks at the scroll which indicates that she is still alive. "Lorenzo, did you or your sister ever learn a foreign language by any chance from your parents"? Miranda asks Lorenzo as she is wondering about it.
Lorenzo nods as he looks at Miranda as if that is true. "Yes, my sister and I learned Spanish and French from our parents. My mom was originally from the kingdom of Montreal, and it is a French-speaking kingdom. However, she never talked about her home kingdom for some reason with us even when we became adults". Lorenzo said to Miranda as it is rather complicated.
Miranda nods as she is starting to get it now. "I see now. It's just Madeline knows French and understands it. I just worry that it will lead her to ask questions". Miranda said to Lorenzo as she does have her worries.
Lorenzo looks at Miranda as he shrugs at her as if it is a part of her. "Miranda, you shouldn't punish her for speaking or learning a foreign language. She probably didn't know that it is connected to my mom. I always believe that a child has the right to discover who they are and explore it without fear. It develops their individuality on a special level". Lorenzo said to Miranda as he has his parenting views.
Miranda looks at Lorenzo as she can see where he is coming from. "I suppose and yet we both have different parenting views. Tell me something, if you have some sort of idea where your mom is, where do you think she is"? Miranda asks Lorenzo as she is wondering about it.
Lorenzo looks at Miranda as he ponders about it as he thinks about it. "Probably somewhere in Wimonia, however, it wouldn't surprise me if she is near the royal castle somehow". Lorenzo said to Miranda as he is wondering about the exact place where she is.
Miranda nods as she looks at Lorenzo as she has an idea. "I have an idea. We are going to see Goodwyn in Cedric's workshop". Miranda said to Lorenzo as the two of them went upstairs to the workshop.
Lorenzo looks at Miranda as he is a bit perplexed about it as they arrive at the workshop. Goodwyn looks at them as he is stunned and surprised to see them. "Queen Miranda, Lorenzo what brings you here? I just got back from Hexley Hall visiting Ginger and Cedric. Lady Agatha has been monitoring him very closely and keeping him comfortable". Goodwyn said to them as he explains to them where he has been.
Miranda looks at Goodwyn as she nods as she needs a favor. "Goodwyn, do you have an item that allows us to look into the past. Lorenzo and I want to see about his mother and what happened to her". Miranda said to Goodwyn as she explains it.
Goodwyn looks at Lorenzo as he knows of his mother as well. "You mean Esmeralda of course, let me go get the Looking Back Glass". Goodwyn said to them as he went to go get it. He looks at them as he thinks about Roland. "You know earlier today Roland asked me to use the Looking Back Glass to find out what Cedric finger spelled was true or not. As it turned it, it was completely true". Goodwyn said to Miranda as he has a solemn expression on his face.
Miranda is stunned as she didn't know this. "I didn't know about it". Miranda said to Goodwyn as she needs to ask Roland about it later.
Goodwyn nods as he uses his spell to get the Looking Back Glass started. The three of the look into the magical item. They see a house in Wimonia as they see a mother holding a fifth-month-old baby and having a conversation with an older woman. However, by the next day, strange knights appeared at the home and arrest the older woman. Miranda looks at the mother who has tears falling down her face as her baby was also crying as well as this happened in front of them. As the strange knight takes the older woman to a strange tower-like jail, a woman is waiting for her as she has an evil smirk on her face. As she gives the knight orders to lock her up on a level of the tower. They pushed her into a cell next to a 13-year-old girl with honey brown hair.
The three of them come out as if they feel sick by what they saw. "No wonder my dad and I couldn't get answers from King Charles about my mom. He didn't even know about things and it was the queen that had her locked up. Not only that all of that stonewalling probably came from her and used him to send those notices to us". Lorenzo said to Miranda as he is furious as he learns where they have her locked up.
Miranda nods as she looks at Lorenzo as she is getting the feeling that the place has people like her locked up for doing normal things. "Yeah plus, I am wondering who the girl is that was locked up next to Esmeralda. She couldn't be a day over 13 at that time". Miranda said to them as she feels sick that a child was locked up like that.
Goodwyn looks at Miranda as he feels a bit sick about it as well. "It is a good question Queen Miranda. However that tower is located in Wimonia and not too far from the castle". Goodwyn said to Miranda and Lorenzo as they get a good idea of where she is.
Miranda nods as she looks at Goodwyn as she needs to talk to King Charles about this tower. "Thank you Goodwyn", Miranda said to the former royal sorcerer as Lorenzo agrees. As the two of them leave the workshop, they are getting some answers about things. Lorenzo got going again as he leaves the castle once again.
...
Back with Daniel and the others, they are in the Mystic Isles as they see all sorts of isles as they are heading towards the Isle of Paladins. Sofia and Madeline are taking it all in with amazement while Roland and Amber are stunned by the mysterious new world. "I never realized that all of this exists". Roland said to Daniel as he sees that his two youngest daughters are in awe of it.
Daniel looks at Roland as he can see why he would say that. "That is what my dad said when he came up here with me for my ninth birthday". Daniel said to Roland as they are heading towards the aisle of Paladins as they are getting off the unicorns.
Roland looks at Daniel as he is stunned as they have arrived at the Isle of Paladins. They are surprised by this as they see that a festival is going on today. Plus they see various flags and banners of the Light Stone Tree. As the group is walking around the isle, All of a sudden, a group of Paladin beings see the new arrivals as they look at Sofia and Daniel in particular as they see the color of their hair. "Umm, why are they looking at us"? Amber asks them as she is kind of confused.
Madeline looks at Amber as the group of people are looking at Sofia and Daniel. "Umm, I think that they are looking at Sofia and Daniel". Madeline said to Amber as they are wondering why they are stunned and fascinated with them.
A paladin walks up to them as he knows what is going on. "It is because of their hair, young princess. You see brunettes and dark-headed people are a huge rarity in the Isle of Paladins while redheads and blondes are more of a common thing around here. Also, red and blondes are more dominant traits while brunettes and dark hair color are not dominant". The paladin named Flynn said to them as he also has reddish-blonde hair.
Roland looks at Flynn as he sees more redheads and blondes around them. "I can tell from that". Roland said to Flynn as he is processing the whole Mystic Isles.
The group is stunned as they see more redheads and blondes than brunettes. Daniel looks at Flynn as he knows him as is also wearing an enchantlet as he does. "Flynn, I take it that Rhinehart sent you to bring us to him". Daniel said to Flynn as he is wondering about it.
Flynn nods as he looks at Daniel and the group. "That's right Daniel, Rhinehart is waiting for all of you in the Elder's building". Flynn said to them as he leads the way.
Daniel looks at Flynn as he understands it. As the group is heading towards the Elder's building, Sofia notices the various things shaped like the Light Stone Tree. "Say, Flynn, how did the Light Stone Festival come to be exactly"? Sofia asks Flynn as she is wondering about it.
Flynn looks at Sofia as he begins to explain it. "Eons ago, this isle used to be a desolate place that was ruled by a power-hungry sorceress named Vor. She craved power and wanted to destroy anything light and good. However, one day, a battle took place between a priestess and Vor. As the priestess used her powerful light magic, it pushed Vor out of the isle of Paladins. She brought peace and order to the aisle and planted a special tree. When the tree grew big and stone, it produced light stones. In the summer, a Paladin gets selected to bring the first light stone of the summer to get its special power from Light Dawn Lake. Even though the priestess is no longer alive, the Light Stone tree still shines and grows light stones to this day". Flynn said to them as he tells them the story.
Madeline looks at Flynn as she is curious about it. "So this festival honors the priestess for planting the Light Stone tree". Madeline said to Flynn as she is starting to understand it.
Flynn nods as he looks at Madeline as he nods as he sees that she has red hair. "That's correct young princess, plus as a redhead like yourself. You can easily fit in on the Isle of Paladins". Flynn said to Madeline as he notices that she is a redhead.
Madeline says thank you in French as Daniel sighs as gets solemn again. Amber and Sofia notice the sad expression on his face. Roland notices the solemn expression on Daniel's face. "Madeline maybe you should stop with the French words". Roland said to Madeline as he is wondering why French words get him very solemn.
Madeline looks at Roland as she is very confused. "But why dad, it is not hurting anyone right. Plus this is the first time that I have seen more people with red hair like me". Madeline said to Roland as she doesn't realize that it does hurt someone.
Roland looks at Madeline as he sighs as he looks at her. He can see how this new thing to her as a song is starting up as Madeline is singing it.
I have always wondered why I have stand out from other people around me
Even when I among myself family and friends
I am the only one with my bright red hair
Even when I meet new people who has come into my life
They have other color hair that matches mom, James, Sofia, Amber, and dad
But it doesn't even match to my own hair
I always have a hard time fitting in because of my own hair
But now that I am here in this new place where there are more red heads like me
It is like I am discovering a part of myself that I never knew before
It makes me wonder if there is even more that I didn't know that will answer questions about my own identity
It is starting to scratch the surface on my own identity of who I am
As the song ends, Roland sighs as he looks at Madeline. "It might be that Daniel is sensitive to when someone is speaking French. Remember how Lady Agatha is sensitive to a particular person's name". Roland said to Madeline as they are getting closer to the building.
Madeline looks at Roland as she nods as she remembers it. "Yes dad, but why is he sensitive about a language though"? Madeline asks Roland as she doesn't understand why.
Roland looks at Madeline as Sofia is also curious about it as it is something to ask Daniel later. "I don't know, but it is something to ask Daniel at another time". Roland said to Madeline as it is time to get serious.
Flynn looks at them as he has some cookies in his hands it has something bright red in them. "Young princess, maybe a cookie will keep you quiet". Flynn said to Madeline as he tries to get her to eat the cookies that has something bright red in them.
Daniel frowns as he notices something red in the cookies as his amulet is picking up on it. "I don't think now is the time for sweets". Daniel said to Flynn as he is getting suspicious of the cookies as Amber notices them in him. However, it went unnoticed by Madeline but was kind of noticed by Sofia.
Madeline notices the amulet around Daniel's neck as she paid no attention to the cookies that Flynn had. "Daniel, you have an amulet like me and Sofia. That's cool". Madeline said to Daniel as Sofia nods as Amber looks kind of solemn now.
Daniel looks at Madeline as he nods to them as he reveals to them as it was underneath his shirt. It is a bright indigo color as he looks at them. "It is called the Amulet of Mystic Realm. A friend of mine made it for me and give it to me for my 9th birthday". Daniel said to them as Amber sighed as she learns that he has an amulet too.
Flynn looks at them as he is annoyed that Daniel kept him from giving Madeline the cookies that had something red in it. He notices the head elder. "Let me introduce all of you to the head elder of the Paladins, Rhinehart. I will leave it to you and your business". Flynn said to them as he excuses himself as he leaves the elder's building.
The head elder named Rhineheart looks at them as this year's light stone carrier named Daphne is here with them. He has snowy white hair with blue-green eyes. "I have been deeply informed about the situation and the forbidden spell that is over your royal sorcerer. I am furious that spell has even gotten to the Ever Realm in the first place". Rhinehart said to them as this is a dire situation. They went to the living room to sit down together to discuss things. They also see another Paladin named Daphne who sees them.
Roland nods as he looks at Rhinehart as Madeline notices a bracelet on his wrist. It has baby pictures of three baby girls with birth dates on it. She recognizes one of them as it does match her birthday, but she doesn't recognize the other two of them. "How did this spell come to be exactly"? Roland asks Rhinehart as Madeline looks at him as if it is something that she and Sofia want to know.
Rhinehart looks at them as he brings them to a living room as they sit down. "Of course, the thing is that the light stone will need to get its power from Light Dawn Lake. Once it receives its power, Daphne will give it to you". Rhinehart said to them as he introduces Daphne to them.
Rhinehart looks at them as if it is a long story. "Centuries ago, an ever realm being originally from Avalor came to the Isle of Paladins with plans to create another dark spell. He wanted it to be different and yet still have the capabilities to trap them and feed on the darker things within them. He figured out that not only dark memories can trap people, but people can also be trapped by emotional pain, heartbreak, physical and emotional scars, and other bad things like that. As he created the spell, he also created the special seeds that contain the spell as well. He launches an attack and targets the most vulnerable person on the Isle of Paladins. As he struck her with his spell, the spell succeed and trapped her. No one ever helped her to get through the inner darkness that she carried and as a result, her soul and spirit were lost. The evil man was proud of himself that he made more of the seeds. The evil man was defeated by a sorcerer named Malachi who created a sealing spell and locked those seeds away on Mount Black Moon. However, some time ago, the seal got broken and released the seeds towards the severe Realm. The protectors did round them up to be fully destroyed but it seems that one seed somehow made it to the Ever Realm". Rhinehart said to them as he explains the origins of the spell.
Amber looks at them as if she is wondering about something else. "The Light Stone, we need it to help Mr. Cedric though. When can we get it"? Amber asks Rhinehart as she stops Sofia from asking her question.
Daphne looks at them as if she must perform. "I am the Light Stone Carrier. Every year before the festival, Rhinehart always picks someone in the entire Isle of Paladins to carry the first Light Stone of the summer to Lake Light Dawn. It is a very special ritual that has been done for eons. Also, previous Light Stone Carriers will be there for the ritual. Since this is a very dire situation in the Ever Realm, Rhinehart has made power exceptions for all of you to come and witness the ritual". Daphne said to them as she explains further about it.
The group nods as they learn that they will get to see it. "That's cool", Madeline said to Daphne as they went to see the ritual.
Rhinehart nods as he looks at them. "Yes, come on, it is time for the Light Stone Ceremony". Rhinehart said to them as he and Daphne got up as they got going.
The group went to a beautiful park where the Light Stone Tree is glowing as all sorts of people are there to see this. They see a light stone blooming on the tree as it is glowing and ready to be picked. "Now this year light stone carrier will now pick the light stone and bring it to Light Dawn Lake". Rhinehart said to them.
Daphne nods as she went over to the tree she picks the stone from the tree as she went back to the group as starts the journey towards the Lake Light Dawn. The group and Rhinehart are with Daphne as Daniel is keeping his guard up as he is keeping his eye out for things. However, none of them realize that Flynn and the theft are closely following them.
About two hours later, the group arrives at Lake Light by Dawn as there are a few people as it is a special group of precious light stone carriers as it is a very special moment. The group is in awe as they see Daphne places the light stone into the lake. The light stone is getting its power and light as it is glowing brighter and brighter as the ritual is complete.
Daphne carries the stone out of the water as she went toward King Roland to hand it to them. "You need this more than I do". Daphne said to Roland as she presents the stone to him.
Just as Daphne hands the stone to Roland, magic lands near them as a thief uses her magic to get away from them as she uses her magic to send it toward Flynn. Flynn smirks as it lands on his hands. "You should have named me the Light Stone Carrier Rhineheart not the person you picked". Flynn said to them as he has an evil smirk on his face as the thief is with him.
Daphne is stunned as this happens Madeline looks to her as she spoke French again. Vit vit "They are getting away with the light stone". Madeline said to Daphne as she is trying to get through to her.
Rhinehart frowns as he glares at Flynn as he realizes that he was behind things before. "You were behind the first attempt at the ritual rehearsal weren't you". Rhinehart said to Flynn as Daniel frowns as he is furious.
Flynn looks at Rhinehart as he is laughing at them. "Yes, you always overlook me on being a Light Stone carrier. You picked other members in my family, but me. I did anything and everything to get you to pick me, but no you always picked someone else". Flynn said to Rhinehart as he is angry that he had gotten overlooked s
Rhinehart glares at Flynn as he is furious. "You always have that cold and evil streak in your heart Flynn. You are a disgrace to the Isle of Paladins and a disgrace to the Protectors of the Mystic Isles and to the enchantlet itself". Rhinehart said to Flynn as he has his reason.
Flynn laughs at them as he uses his magic to trap the others. "Yeah right, once I drain this light stone of its power, it will be delivered to the lady mistress of the society". Flynn said to them as he and the thief is getting away.
The group sees the magic heading towards them, Daniel makes sure that the girls and Roland are out of the way however it has trapped him. "Daniel", Amber said to Daniel as she is stunned that he protected them including Madeline. However, it went kind of unnoticed by Madeline and Sofia.
Madeline looks at Sofia as they have to get going again. "Sofia we have to get going and stop Flynn and the thief". Madeline said to Sofia as they will get going again.
Amber gives them a look as she is stunned by this. "Daniel is trapped in that thing and he made sure that we weren't trapped like this. We can't leave him behind". Amber said to them as she is wondering how they didn't notice it. Roland agrees with her as they have two things to do.
Sofia and Madeline look at them as they went to where Daniel is trapped. Sofia notices how Daniel has protected them, especially Madeline. 'Hold on though, is this not the first time that Daniel has protected Madeline yet he got himself trapped'.Sofia thought to herself as she needs to ask Amber about it later.
Madeline nods as she looks at them as she has a sense of duty. "Amber, dad stay with Daniel and try to get him free. Sofia and I will get the light stone". Madeline said to Amber and Roland as Sofia nodded as they take off to stop Flynn and Marnie.
Roland looks at the girls as he is stunned by it. He just nods as he deeply realizes how brave they are. He sees them taking off already as he is getting the feeling about things. 'Ok, be careful', Roland thought to himself as he turns as he and Amber needs to free Daniel.
Amber sighs as she looks at Daniel who is trapped in there. "Daniel, can you hear me"? Amber asks Daniel as she is wondering about it.
Daniel nods as he gets up and tries to force his way out of it. "Yeah, I can hear you". Daniel said to them as he is stuck.
Amber sighs as she looks at Daniel as she has to admit to him. "Daniel I have to be honest with you. The only reason why I came along to get an adventure with Sofia and Madeline is that they have amulets and I don't". Amber said to Daniel as a song starts again.
I am the eldest princess in the family
I thought I will get all sorts of things.
It only turns out that others will be getting them and not me
I am trying to understand why it is
It is just never fair that I am being left out of getting something special but who am I without these things.
So today I caused Nothing but trouble, can't you see
Every place we've gone I've been thinking only of me
Amber
I was wrong to think that I'm brave, It was all just pretend
'Cause that's not who I am
Though it makes my heart break
That's not who I am
I don't have what it takes
Daniel is in the trap as he has a slight smile on his face
Sometimes being brave takes time to build
It is also having that fire to make a stand for others
I can see that you do have that fire in you
It is only a matter of time before you find the courage to stand up for those that need you
Amber:
Yes, that is who I am
I'll fix my mistakes
And I'll come through, do all I'm meant to do
'Cause that is who I am
Daniel
It is who I am
I will discover now about my past
And find the person that is in my dreams
It is because of who I am
As the song ends, Amber finds a magical item to shatter the thing that has Daniel trapped. Daniel smiles as he stands up and joins them. He grabs Amber's tiara and places it back on her head. "Come on Sofia and Madeline needs us now". Daniel said to them as they need to get going as he as an idea.
Amber looks at Daniel as she is wondering about it. "But Daniel, we don't even know which way Sofia and Madeline take"? Amber asks Daniel as she and Roland are wondering about it.
Daniel looks at Amber as he grabs his amulet he touches it as closes his eyes as he is getting a sense of which way they went. "They went that way", Daniel said to them as he whistled as he summons his unicorn as it is not long before the other unicorns come as Roland and Amber got on the unicorns.
Daniel leads the way as it is not long before they have caught up with Sofia and Madeline. Madeline smirks as she looks at Flynn and Marine as she and Sofia have caught up to them.
Flynn frowns as he glares at Madeline as Marnie is stunned by their arrival. "WHAT, HOW DID YOU CATCH UP WITH US"? Flynn asks them as he fires magic at them to get them trapped.
Sofia and Madeline dodged it as they are finding things to get Flynn and Marnie distracted. It is not long that Roland and the others have caught up to them as he sees how Sofia and Madeline are fighting back with hardly anything to defend themselves. He realizes that they are brave to fight back as a realization hits him as he has deeply underestimated them as a song is starting up.
I have never seen my two youngest daughters so brave like this
They have came across more dangers that I never known before
It just makes me wonder where they get it from
Over the years that I have known them
They have tried to tell me that something was going on
I never listen to them or even believe them until it was too late
I have truly underestimated them all along
I need to see them as the brave little heroes that they are
I truly admit that as a father that I am proud of them
But now they have gone after the theft and that bad villain that has gotten away with the light stone
I have let them down all because I have underestimated them all along.
As the song ends, they finally catch up with Sofia and Madeline as Daniel uses his enchantlet to knock the light stone out of Marnie's hands. "Go for it Amber", Daniel said to Amber as he wants her to go after it.
Amber nods as she gets the unicorn to go faster. She sees the light stone as she catches it as she went back towards Roland. Flynn is stunned as the Light stone got recovered by Amber. "What", Flynn said to them as he sees the others helping them.
Roland frowns as he is furious he has a fist forming in his hands. "This is for Cedric", Roland said to Flynn as he punches him straight in the face. Flynn lands on the ground as he must have made the king mad.
Sofia and Madeline nod as they find heavy vines as they throw them on Flynn and Marnie as they have them surrounded. "You two are finished". Sofia and Madeline said to them as they make it clear to the bad guys.
Daniel looks at Sofia and Madeline as he can see them as protectors of the Ever Realm like he is. Roland went up to the girls as he needs to apologize to them. "Sofia, Madeline, I owe you two an apology". Roland said to them as he needs to do this.
Sofia and Madeline are stunned as they look at Roland. "What for dad", Sofia said to Roland as Madeline is also wondering where he is coming from with the apology.
Roland looks at them as he wants to do this and needs to get it done. "For the longest time, I have underestimated you two. Whenever there is a problem, you two are always involved in it even when Miranda and I didn't believe you. Seeing how you two capture that Flynn and Marnie, you two are truly the brave ones. I honestly don't know where you two got the strength and courage to face evil beings like that. I am truly sorry about it. Plus next time there is a magical situation, just tell me and we will get ready to face it together. You two girls shouldn't have to face it alone anymore". Roland said to them as he doesn't want them to face magical situations alone.
Sofia and Madeline look at Roland as they nod and understand where he is coming from. "Apology accepted dad", Sofia said to Roland as Madeline is curious about something as she looks at Daniel.
Madeline went up to Daniel as she is wondering about something. "There is one thing that I am wondering about. How did you know where we were and got here so quickly"? Madeline asks Daniel as she wants to know about it.
Daniel looks at Madeline as Sofia is also wondering about it. "Well, my amulet is relatively new and not known in the various books. My amulet has an ability called amulet aura. I can detect the aura of known amulets and show them where they are. Plus I can send out my amulet aura to others if I am in dire trouble. You two are strong princesses. Don't let others tell you otherwise". Daniel said to them as he sees them as strong princesses.
Madeline and Sofia nod as they learn more about his amulet. "Thanks, Daniel", Sofia said to Daniel as Madeline agrees as she notices something about him and understood that.
as it is not long that Rhinehart, Orion, Vega, and a Chrysta arrive on the scene. Sofia and Madeline look stunned to see them as it was the being that they came across some days ago. Daniel uses his Enchanlet to apprehend Marnie and Flynn as he brings them to Orion. He even takes Flynn's Enchanlet to hand back to Orion. "Here is the traitor Orion". Daniel said to Orion as he turns in Flynn and Marnie to the leader of the protectors.
Orion looks at Daniel and the girls he has a smile on his face as he can see Sofia and Madeline as protectors. "Thank you, Daniel and girls, we will make sure that Flynn is convicted for his crimes. Plus we will make sure that his Enchanlet gets locked away as well". Orion said to them as he has plans for Flynn and his Enchanlet.
The girls nod as they look at Orion Roland is stunned by this as it is not long before a special carriage arrives. Flynn and Marnie are being placed into the carriage as the man glares at them. "The society will remember this". Flynn said to them as the carriages takes off. Marnie nods in agreement as she glares at the royals.
Amber is holding the light stone as it has its power. Roland sighs as they do need to get back to Enchancia and help Cedric. "Daniel, I want to let you know that you are welcome at the Enchancia Castle any time". Roland said to Daniel as he extends the invitation to come by the castle any time.
Daniel looks at Roland as the girls shake their heads at him. "Thank you King Roland", Daniel said to Roland as he learns that he is welcome there any time.
Roland nods as they got going again as Daniel will escort them back to the Enchancia Castle. As they return to the Enchancia Castle, Amber hands the light stone to Roland as it is getting time for dinner. Daniel says his goodbyes to them as he heads back to his home. However little did they know that something else will happen without warning.
...
Back at the Wimonia Castle, Daniel has returned as he got changed out of his protector clothes and places his enchantlet away in a special magical box that the royal sorceress named Heidi made for him. He puts his normal royal clothes on as he has his protector uniform hidden in his bedroom closet. He went into his room and he notices a note from his dad. As he reads it, Daniel is stunned by the contents.
'Daniel,
I have a lot of royal business to attend to for the next week and a half. When I return, we need to have a serious talk about things. You are not in serious trouble with me, son, but there are things that I need to tell you directly. It will deeply affect you in more ways than one. Also, I have fired Jeffery. You don't have to deal with him anymore. I will explain everything when I get back to the castle.
Much Love
Dad'
Daniel is stunned as he learns that Jeffery has been fired as it is a huge thing to process. He places the note on the desk as he leaves the room. He is heading towards the library as he notices his mother glaring at him. "Mother, what are you doing home"? Daniel asks Samantha as he is wondering why she is even here.
Samantha frowns as she glares at Daniel as she is ready to ground him again. "You are grounded Daniel, and this time it will be a much different grounding". Samantha as she snaps her fingers as she has Jeffery and strange knights with her.
Daniel is stunned as he notices Jeffery at the castle he is getting the feeling that something is seriously wrong. "Jeffery, what are you doing here? I know that dad fired you". Daniel said to Jeffery as he notices that he is not wearing his enchantlet and silently curses himself for putting it away in the magical box.
Jeffery looks at Daniel as he has laughed at him with an evil grin on his face. "Oh, we have waited for King Charles to leave for the royal business to get to you". Jeffery said to Daniel as he reveals that they have waited for Charles to leave to ambush Daniel.
Daniel frowns as he notices the items on the side tables as he needs to make some sort of ruckus to get someone's attention. As he throws the items at them, Samantha frowns as she backs off from the items as gives Daniel a harsh glare. "Jeffery, bounty knights, seize Daniel now", Samantha said to them as she orders them to get Daniel as she follows them.
Daniel is running as he is trying to make a run for it. He is thinking of a plan as he has his amulet underneath his shirt. He thinks of the stables to get on his flying horse to get to a safe place. However, as he gets tackled to the floor by Jeffery and the bounty knights, Daniel frowns as he is being brought to Samantha. "You worthless son, you will make things harder on yourself, especially for your grounding". Samantha said to Daniel as she unknowingly lost her bracelet in the chase. "Jeffery, bounty knights, take Daniel to the loading yard. We shall leave immediately". Samantha said to them as she is leading the way.
Daniel is stunned as he hears that one correctly as he is being escorted to a different part of the castle as he is being taken away elsewhere. 'Where are they going to take me? Daniel thought to himself as he is being taken away. However, they have no idea that one of the maids saw them taking Daniel away. She has tears in her eyes as she has a bad feeling that they will do something horrible to him.
...
At the Enchancia Castle, the family is in awe of the light stone that they brought back from the Mystic Isles. They are sitting at the table as they look at the book that Lady Agatha sent over to read and look over. "According to the book, it says that we need to have the light stone over the cocoon. Plus the journey to freeing the trapped one will begin". Roland said to them as he is puzzled about it.
Baileywick looks at them as he is a bit puzzled about it. "The journey to feeling the trapped one, what does that mean exactly"? Baileywick asks Roland as the kids are with them as he is equally stumped on it.
Goodwyn looks at them as he explains it. "According to the book, we will have to journey into Cedric's inner darkness to help him free him". Goodwyn said to them as he explains to them about it.
The kids are stunned as they hear that one correctly. "Journey into Cedric's inner darkness, you mean the strange dreams that feature Cedric, the boy, and that strange being". Sofia said to them as she realizes that dream was trying to tell them something.
Goodwyn looks at them as he nods as that is exactly right. "That's correct Princess Sofia, all of you will be needed to stand by Cedric against the strange being aka the inner darkness scars". Goodwyn said to them as he explains it to them.
The group is stunned as they learn about it. "That would explain why we saw all of that in a dream". Amber said to them as Miranda Louise agrees with it.
Madeline looks at them as she has another question. "So when we journey into Mr. Cedric's inner darkness, how can we fight against the strange being exactly"? Madeline asks them as she is wondering about it.
Goodwyn looks at them as he looks at the book. "According to the book, all of you will need the items of the Wondrous Angels. But it also says that the items will come to you when you arrive as well". Goodwyn said to them as they learn that they will need to step up and fight.
Everyone is stunned as they hear that one correctly. "Well, I think we all need to get some sleep and head towards Hexley Hall first thing in the morning". Roland said to them as everyone agrees with him. Everyone goes to bed for the night as the anticipation of freeing Cedric will take place soon.
...
The next day, everyone arrives at Hexley Hall as Madeline is carrying the light stone. Lady Agatha looks at them as they see the cocoon on the medical table. "Good morning let's get started". Lady Agatha said to them as they walk over as Ginger has been with Cedric this whole time.
The group gathers around the table as they have the light stone. Lady Agatha says the spell to use the light stone. As the light stone is shining brightly, the group is teleported inside of the inner darkness in Cedric as it also summons Chrysta to come as well.
In the inner darkness of Cedric, everyone is stunned as they had their special items as it is the same desolate place from the dream. "Woah, this is the inner darkness of Cedric". Roland said to them as they have the light stone with them.
Everyone nods as they are walking around the desolate place. "Yeah, I am starting to understand why we were shown this in a dream now. Cedric needed us and we didn't even realize that it was going on this whole time". Miranda said to them as she realizing things as well.
Chrysta nods as she also got summoned as well. "So any idea on where to find who we are looking for exactly"? Chrysta asks them as she is wondering about it.
Sofia looks at Chrysta as they met her in the Mystic Isles as the light stone is pointing in the right direction. "I think that the light stone is pointing us in the right direction". Sofia said to Chrysta as they are heading to where a boy is trying to protect a Diamond shape prism thing that has Cedric.
Everyone is stunned as it is the same boy from the dreams before. Roland frowns as he realizes what needs to be done. "Kids and Chrysta defend that boy while Miranda, Baileywick and I fought off that strange being". Roland said to them as they rush over to them.
Everyone nods as they rush over to where the boy and the prism is. The boy looks like he is going to collapse as Chrysta grabs him. The boy is stunned by their arrival as they are here and ready to help. "I don't understand why are all of you here". The boy said to them as he has been alone.
Chrysta looks at the boy as she has a light smile on her face. "It is because we want to be here and standing by the trapped sorcerer. Sure I haven't met him before, but I am willing to step up". Chrysta said to the boy as she is ready to make a stand against them.
Amber nods as she agrees with Chrysta as she looks at the prism that has Cedric trapped in. "I agree. I may not understand any of this but I finally get that I need to stand by Mr. Cedric and to fight as well". Amber said to them as she is ready to fight.
The light stone is glowing in the two respective colors coming from Chrysta and Amber as the kids are stunned by it. "The light stone gained more color when we admit that we will stand by Cedric and fight". Sofia said to them as she realizes what needs to be done.
The strange being looks at the new arrivals as they are sending dark power towards them. Roland, Baileywick, and Miranda are fighting back against the strange being. Baileywick looks at the kids as he sees that Cedric is in that strange prism thing. "Granted, I have been distant and cold with Cedric, but after everything he did to protect King Roland. He has made a great sacrifice for the greater good. I will stand by him and fight". Baileywick said to them as he makes a stand.
The boy sighs as he is being placed in a safe place while the kids and Chrysta are protecting him. They notice the light stone has gain two more colors from Baileywick and Daniel as he contributed some how. James looks at the prism as he rushes over it and bangs on it to hopes to break it. "If our parents and Baileywick are willing to fight that thing, we need to start hitting on this thing to get Cedric out of there. I will stand by and fight with a knight's will". James said to them as he makes a contribution towards the light stone.
The strange being is laughing at them as it glares at Roland as they are mocking him. "It was so easy to place that seed into Cedric and cast the incantation". The strange being as it is Wormwood talking to them.
Everyone is stunned as they learn that it was Wormwood that casted that spell over Cedric. "What, you casted that spell on Cedric". Roland said to the strange being as he realizes that it was the raven that did it.
Wormwood is laughing at the royal family and friends. "That's correct, you have been so blind to realize that spineless sorcerer has been through so much pain. Now he is in that cocoon and that prism where he won't be a use to anyone". Wormwood said to Roland as the strange being laughs together as they continue to fire their magic at them.
Roland frowns as he and the others nod in agreement as they need to do this. "I will stand by with Cedric and fight. When one of you ever come back and cause pain to Cedric, I will always fight back with him". Roland said to them as he makes a contributing to it.
Miranda nods as she glares at them as she is uses her trident as she sends a torrent of water at them. "I will stand by him and help him to get through the pain and suffering that all of you have placed on him and the boy". Miranda said to them as she makes the contribution as well.
Sofia and Madeline look at they need to make their contribution now as they glare at the strange being as they walk together towards it. "We will always stand by Mr. Cedric. We will always defend Mr. Cedric. Now we are no longer alone when the likes of you plans to hurt him". Sofia and Madeline said together in unison as they make their contribution.
As the light stone is glowing in all of the colors, it is shining brightly against the strange being as it pushes it out from the desolate place. It went over to the strange prism as it's light shines on it to free Cedric. The prism is melting as it frees Cedric.
Cedric opens his eyes as he looks exhausted and tired as he weakly walks out. Roland rushes over to catch him in time. "I have you my friend". Roland said to Cedric as everyone else smiles to Cedric as he is free.
Cedric looks at them as he has a light smile on his face as he notices the boy. "I am glad that all of you are here". Cedric said to them as he looks at the boy. "I am sure that we will meet properly someday". Cedric said to the boy as they are wondering what his name is. The boy nods as they magically teleport out of that horrible place.
Back at Hexley Hall everyone returns as they have the light stone in hand. They see that the cocoon is crumbling as it reveals Cedric as he is freed. "Hey everyone", Cedric said to them as he is trying to sit up.
Everyone gasps as they see Cedric is awake and out of that cocoon. "Mr. Cedric, you are ok". Amber said to Cedric as she smiles to him.
Cedric looks at them as he is a bit dizzy as he looks at Amber as Ginger is comforting him. "I will be ok just really confused like why am I at Hexley Hall". Cedric asks them as he is wondering about it.
Goodwyn looks at Cedric as he needs to explain it. "We took you here to find out what happened. Plus you have an Innermus Darkmus spell within you as well". Goodwyn said to Cedric as he explains to him about it.
Cedric looks at Goodwyn as he sighs to them as it is something to deal with. "What, oh man, I never thought it was that forbidden spell". Cedric said to them as he learns about it. "I hope you guys didn't go through too much trouble for me". Cedric said to them as he doesn't know about it.
Lady Agatha looks at Cedric as she has finished making a magical medical bracelet for him. "Of course not Cedric, you are important to the royal family of Enchancia. Plus for the time being with that spell inside of you, you will need to wear this magical medical bracelet. It will glow when you get a spell flare up from the forbidden spell". Lady Agatha said to Cedric as she places it on his wrist. "That way, you can be brought here for treatment and I will log who caused the spell flare up for the investigation". Lady Agatha said to Cedric as she also prepared a potion "Here drink up, it will help you get your strength and energy back". Lady Agatha said to Cedric as she hands him the potion to drink.
Cedric looks at the potion as he drinks up. He sighs as he does feel his strength and energy coming back. "Thanks Lady Agatha", Cedric said to Lady Agatha as everyone is glad to have him back.
As they leave the school, they head back to the castle as Ginger is sitting on Cedric's lap. Plus Madeline is sitting next to Cedric as she tells him everything that happened while getting the light stone. Cedric smiles as he knows that the Enchancia Royal family will stand by him and fight back with him when need be.
Back at the Enchancia Castle, Cedric is in the other workshop as he is getting a deep clean on it. Plus Ginger is right by his side as she helping him with it. Roland knocks on the door as Cedric lets him in. "Roland, what brings you here? I am getting the workshop ready for the new sorceress". Cedric said to Roland as he notices that Goodwyn is with him.
Roland looks at Cedric as he does need to talk to him. "Cedric, there is one thing that I want to ask you. Why didn't you ever tell me that you were injured in an attack when my first fiancé was taken"? Roland asks Cedric as he found out about it.
Cedric looks at Roland as he sighs as it was something that he never told anyone about. "That night, I did know that Lorelei found me. Plus we deeply talked about things. She wasn't happy that she was in that marriage to you. I had to keep my distance from her because you know what your father would do to me if he found out that Lorelei came to talk to me let alone kissing me. She did in fact kiss me on the lips. I was taken aback on what she did and as much i fought the urge to kiss her back. I ultimately didn't kiss her back because of the heart break that happened. That's when all of the sudden, a strange winged being attacked us. I tried my best to protect Lorelei, that winged being overpowered me and knocked me out. When I came to, I pulled myself together and got to the castle infirmary and told the doctor not to get you or my dad. I was too ashamed to ever telling you about it. Plus after a couple weeks, I heard that Lorelei was found safe and sound and got protected by a young woman. I never gotten her name or anything. I wanted to thank her without getting caught by your dad". Cedric said to Roland and a Goodwyn as he explains about it.
Roland looks at Cedric as things are starting to make sense. "Did the Constable back then came to talk to you or gotten a statement about what happened back then"? Roland asks Cedric as he is wondering about it.
Cedric looks at Roland as he shakes his head no to him. "No, the Constable never came to interview me about what happened. I never really knew why or unless Lorelei had something to do with that". Cedric said to Roland as he admits that he was never interviewed when the kidnapping happened.
Roland looks at Cedric as he nods as he thinks about it. "That would make sense Cedric. Plus this workshop looks really super clean". Roland said to Cedric as he comments on it.
Cedric looks at Roland as he nods to him. "Thank you Roland", Cedric said to Roland as things are slowly turning around between them. Roland nods as he leaves the room. Plus it wasn't long that Goodwyn and Cedric also leaves the workshop as they head back to his workshop.
Cedric sighs as he returns to his workshop as he spots the magical keypad as it is completely finished. "Dad did you finish the keypad"? Cedric asks Goodwyn as he is wondering about it.
Goodwyn looks at Cedric as he nods to him as it is competely done. "Yes it is Cedric. Plus it is ready for you to install it". Goodwyn said to Cedric as he explains about the installation.
Cedric nods as he looks at the magical keypad. "Thanks dad, I am going down to the special chamber to get things started with my new personal projects to keep me busy and out of everyone's way". Cedric said to Goodwyn as he is ready to head back down to the special chamber. Goodwyn nods as he looks at Cedric as he understands what he is going to do.
Cedric goes down to the special chamber as Ginger is with him. As went to the round table, he grabs some paper and a pen as he makes an inventory of the contents of the first bag that was in the hidden cave. Ginger is helping him as he is getting new work down.
...
Meanwhile at unknown location, Daniel frowns as he is in a strange prison cell in a special wing of a headquarters. He hisses in pain as he has been put through various punishment spells as he remembers what happened. He looks at his amulet as it is completely covered with an anti-magical container. He frowns as he realizes that his former mother must had them making sure that he can't use his amulet to get out of the cell. 'What is this place? How long I have been trapped in here'? Daniel thought to himself as he looks at his wrists as he notices that he doesn't have his enchantlet on him. 'Great, I don't have my enchantlet on me. That's right, I took it off when Ingot back home'. Daniel thought to himself as he remembers what happened. He feels his head as he had his head shaven as well.
Daniel frowns as he needs to get out of here. He bangs on the cell door with his hands and shoulder. However, it is proven useless as he gets a magical energy zap on him. He went to his knees as he is getting the feeling that his mother has come up with this. "I need your help". Daniel said to himself as he is wondering what be in store for him. He frowns as he is wondering what he will be subjected to next. He is getting the sinking feeling that his dad will return to the Wimonia Royal Castle soon and he will find that he is not at the castle.
...
Meanwhile back in Wimonia, a week and a half has gone by as King Charles the second returns to the castle as he is heads on up to check on Daniel. "Daniel, I am home". Charles said as he calls out to Daniel.. he frowns as he doesn't hear a response from the teenage boy. "Daniel, are you home"? Chalres asks out there as he is searching all over the castle for him. He went to Daniel's room as it look like he never slept in his bad in the last couple of nights. He frowns as he is searching for Daniel. "Daniel where are you"? Charles asks out there as he notices a bracelet on the floor. He frowns as it belongs to his ex-wife as he is stunned to see it. He is getting really worried as he went to his room as he went to grab a magical device to make a call to Atticus. "Atticus, are you friends with the protectors of the Mystic Isles"? Charles asks Atticus as he knows that his ex-wife is a council member.
Atticus looks at Charles as he has met him at various council functions. "Yes I do why"? Atticus asks Charles as he is getting the feeling that something is wrong.
Charles sighs as he looks at Atticus as he is getting a bad feeling about things. "I need to report Daniel missing, and I fear that my ex-wife has something to do with his disappearance". Charles said to Atticus as he needs to do right by Daniel.
Atticus frowns as this is serious and a huge situation. "I will let Orion know right now King Charles. Also, I will have Samantha investigated and suspended from council events". Atticus said to Charles as he is getting things underway on their end.
Charles nods as he thanks Atticus for it as he has tears in his eyes as he needs help with things. "Thank you Atticus", Charles said to Atticus as the magic call ends. He is getting worried about Daniel as he needs to inform the royals in Enchancia about the situation.
Back at the Mystic Isles, Orion and Vega are together in the headquarters as Chrysta is also back. Orion notices his Enchanlet going off as Atticus is calling him. "Orion come in", Atticus said to Orion as a call is coming in.
Orion answers it as he is getting the feeling that something is wrong. "Atticus what's going on"? Orion asks Atticus as he is wondering about things.
Atticus looks at Orion as he needs to inform him. "King Charles the second of Wimonia has reported Daniel missing". Atticus said to Orion as he informs him of the situation.
Orion is stunned as Vega and Chrysta are learning about it. "What, the last time we saw him, he was in good spirits after Flynn was caught being involved with the Light Stone theft. Plus he is pleased that we got two more protectors in training in Princess Sofia and Princess Madeline". Orion said to Atticus as this is very strange and bad.
Atticus nods as he looks at Orion as it is a bad situation. "Charles told me that he recently divorced his wife and signing his parental rights to Daniel as well. He has not told Daniel about it either". Atticus said to Orion as this a huge mystery that needs to solved.
Orion frowns as this is really bad as he puts the emergency orders. "I will have Chrysta, Sofia, and Madeline investigate it right away". Orion said to Atticus as one of their own is missing. Atticus nods as time is of the essence to find a missing protector as the call ends
Chrysta frowns as she looks at Orion as she is getting worried. "Why would Daniel go missing like this? It just doesn't make a lot of sense". Chrysta said to Orion as she is wondering about it.
Orion looks at Chrysta as it is puzzling even to him as well. "I do not know either Chrysta. We will start the investigation in the morning". Orion said to Chrysta as it is getting very late at night especially in the Ever Realm as things are getting underway for the newest investigation. The protectors nods as they are looking through footage in the Ever Realm to see if it helps or not.
Back in the Ever Realm in the kingdom of Enchancia, Miranda frowns as she is getting the feeling that something is seriously wrong. She is wide awake as she can't ignore the fact that something is wrong. She went to check on the kids as she is wondering if it is one of them. As she sees that the kids are sleeping peacefully, she has a sinking feeling on who it is. She rushes back to her room as she gets dressed.
Roland wakes up as he sees that Miranda is getting dressed. "Miranda, what's wrong"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondering what it could be.
Miranda looks at Roland as she is getting really worried. "I can't shake this feeling that my first born son is in serious trouble. For the past week and a half, that feeling is getting stronger a bit more each day". Miranda said to Roland as she knows that her baby needs her.
Roland looks at Miranda as he tries to comfort her. "Miranda, if we get a royal notice about a missing Prince, Baileywick will bring it to us". Roland said to Miranda as he tried to ease her worries.
It is not long that Baileywick knocks on the door with the notice in hand from King Charles the second as he declared Daniel missing. "This just came in for you, your majesties". Baileywick said to them as he is half awake.
Roland and Miranda are stunned as they read the notice about a missing prince. "Everything will be ok Miranda. We will do everything that we can to find Daniel". Roland said to Miranda as this is going to be a very long night. Miranda nods as she is getting worried about him as tears are falling down her face.
