Amber walked through the halls of the castle to figure out what the commotion was all about, royal guards were scattered around the land in search for one particular person, a princess to be exact. Amber entered the throne room to find his mother and father talking to the castle's security chief while James was at the side, walking back and fort

Mother, father what's happening? Why are all the guards searching the entire palace? She asked in confusion, they all looked at amber with worried expression

Amber, Sofia is missing, we searched all over the kingdom but we still can't find her James answered

Amber looked at them confusedly, what do you mean? She's not missing she's just reading at the library They all looked at one another confusedly then her father spoke, let's go check the royal library if she really is there, everyone lets go.

Before they could leave amber yelled

Wait!

They all looked back at her then her mother asked, yes amber? Is there a problem?

Who said anything about the royal library? She asked

Well there is no other library in the castle amber, don't be silly James added

Well, there's another one follow me! Amber stated while leaving the area, they all looked at her confusedly but in the end agreed to follow She led them to her room, they were still confused because from what they know ambers room doesn't have any library, then she removed the giant painting on the wall which revealed a small lever, she pushed it open and a hidden door was revealed

Let's go! Amber commanded

Whoa! A secret passage way? Brilliant! James added

Wait! When did your room have a secret passage way? Miranda asked rollie do you know about this?

Actually I don't, this is the first time I'm seeing this, I never even knew the castle has a secret passage way's Roland added

Well we have one, and Sofia has one too but I just don't know where I haven't figured it out yet, but I know I will soon amber stated proudly

They all went down the staircase and entered a room with that looked like a canal but a clear one, they saw a boat appearing that looked like Sofia's amulet

This just keeps getting better and better! James added

Why does the boat looked like Sofia's amulet? The king asked confusedly

Just, everyone get on the boat amber commanded, they all followed the boat was a little small but in the end they all manage to take off, it brought them into a new unknown area, with a new and improve staircase, they all went upstairs to find a giant blue gate opened, the whole area was full of brightly books, they all entered and was surprised to see

Whoa! What is this place? They all asked

Who are you all? A person from the very top asked seriously, they all looked up and saw Sofia

Wait, Sofia? They all asked

Mom? Dad? James? Amber? What are you all doing here? And how did you all find me?! She asked frantically

Sofia what are you doing in this strange place? And how did you get up there? Her mother asked Wait ill come down! Sofia stated She got the book that she was reading then went down using the magical air balloon she would always ride on. When she got down everyone immediately hugged her, she was a bit confused but returned it to her family

I'm so confused right now Sofia stated

Right back at you sof! James added

Sofia we were so worried because you have been missing since morning her father stated

Wait is it nearly evening already? She asked oh clover I lost track of time! I'm so sorry I got you all worried, I was just so deep in the book I was reading, but wait how did you know about this place? I only told- before she could continue her eyes lit up

Amber! I told you to keep this place a secret! Why would you break that?! Sofia asked

I'm sorry Sofia, everyone was so worried so I figured that if you're not in the castle you must be in here amber defended herself

Oh amber, Sofia exaggerated Her mother hugged her again, she knew she was so worried from the looks of it so she comforted her

I'm glad you're safe honey, i wouldn't know what I would do if you suddenly disappear

Wait Sofia what are you reading? James asked

Oh this? She asked, the tale of the shoe maker, moms tale

Mom's tale? They asked, she gave the book to her father and revealed her mother in the book casing holding the same slippers that she gave her father the first time they met

I think it's best if we all go back Sofia commented, I'll just read that back in the castle

Young lady you have a lot of storytelling to do her father warned her

Of course she has, she's the story keeper after all! Amber added

Amber! Sofia stated annoyingly

They all looked at one another, on second thought let's just stay here for a while her father suggested

If you all insist Sofia stated while smiling
