Carlos and Cariña
Those who are always complaining about their circumstances find that success continually eludes them. As do those who speak ill of others or who make excuses for their failures.
The three fairies Ana, Belinda and Kathléna came to Spain, to bless Princess Carina. Of course she received the usual Beauty and Grace from Ana and Belinda, but the wise fairy Kathlena gave to her the gift of a beautiful singing voice.
When Carina would sing sick people would become well, sad people would be cheerful and angry people would become calm.
One day as Carina was walking in the gardens, Jacoba Piggy disguised as an old lady came up to her asking for help. She said that there was a sick unicorn who needed her help. Jacoba took her to a tower and locked the door. When Carina reached the top of the stairs, there was not a sick unicorn but a hungry blue dragon.
Blue dragons make the people around them sad, for reasons that they themselves are not even sure of. When the person cries themselves into a little ball, then the dragon eats his dinner.
Carina knew that there were three ways to get rid of a dragon, salt, light and songs about Jesus. She began to feel sad, so she started singing. The dragon clasped his paws over his ears screaming “I don’t want to hear about Jesus” and flew out of the window. Carina kept singing, as she was now happy and rid of the dragon.
Carina tried to climb out of the window using her sheets as a rope ladder, but they only went half way down the tower and there were rocks and ocean water at the bottom. She decided not to risk a jump and went back into her room to work on another plan.
She was so busy working on new plans that she did not see, the De Colores, a ship, was sailing past. Joshua, one of the crew noticed the sheets on the window of the tower. He told the Captain, Carlos, who decided to take a closer look, with his binoculars. They noticed a girl inside the tower and decided to see if she needed help.
They lowered a small boat into the water and rowed to the rocks. Carlos rock-climbed to the window of the tower, with a rope ladder on his back. But when he jumped into the room, there was no one there.
“That’s funny” he thought, and began to take a look around. He checked the cupboard and under the bed. When he looked behind the duchess, there was a lady hiding. She asked him if he was going to rob her.
He laughed when he realised what the problem was. He told her his name was Captain Carlos, of the De Colores and that he only dresses like a pirate to tell other pirates about Jesus.
Still not sure if she could trust him the Princess said, “Then you would know my cousin, Joshua, can you take me to him”.
“Joshua Glimmersword? He’s down waiting in the boat”
So they climbed down the tower, using the rope ladder. When safe in the boat, Carina and Joshua had a joyous reunion and she thanked the captain for rescuing her.
Carlos decided to see her safely home when they docked in Spain, and he made Joshua the new captain of the De Colores. While visiting with Carina’s family he received the news that his father was ill and he needed to go home.
Carina went with him, to sing to the king and his family, the king was old but he passed away happy and at peace, not only was Carina gifted with a beautiful voice, but she had consented to become the bride of Carlos, the new king of England.


Jacques and Chérie
The Frog Prince Retold
The three fairies Ana, Belinda and Kathléna had two babies to visit and bless with gifts, Jacques and Dominique.
As you may or may not know, Ana and Belinda give to all princesses the gifts of beauty and grace and to each prince, the gifts of handsomeness and charm.
The wise fairy Kathléna looked down at the sleeping twins and said softly “Prince Jacque, I give you the gift of Discernment and Princess Dominique; I give you the gift of A soft heart”.
The King and Queen, thanked the fairies, gave them gifts, asked their advice on a few pressing matters involving the Kingdom of France and hugged them goodbye, wishing them a safe journey.
Jacques and Dominique, grew up to be very good friends, until they became teenagers. Dominique had become friends with Jacoba Piggy. Jacques could never quite decide why, but he just didn’t trust her.
He expressed his concern to his mother Queen Jacinta, who told him about his gift from the wise fairies and told him to trust himself and be careful.
It turned out that Jacques had good reason to be distrustful of Jacoba. As it turned out she was only friends with Dominique because she wanted to marry a prince. Prince Jacques was her target, to be precise.
Eventually Princess Dominique, realised that Jacoba Piggy was not a good friend for her to have. She set some healthy boundaries which annoyed Jacoba Piggy so she left. Dominique made new friends, who were not so manipulative and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
When Princes turn Twenty-one and one month, it is their mission to find a princess, rescue her and get married. Jacques and Dominique said goodbye and the prince went to rescue Princess Cariña of Spain.
However, when he reached the tower, he thought it strange that it was so easy to get passed the dragon guarding the gate. When he reached the princess, he said “Princess Cariña?”
“Oui”
That’s interesting, she should have said “Sí” thought the prince to himself, and he decided to test her. In Spanish he said “Are you sure you are the ugly princess Carina? “
“Sí”
“You are as beautiful as toad’s warts” he said, coming over to play with her hair.
“Gracias” she replied.
Prince Jacques pulled the hair, and the wig came off.
“Jacoba Piggy! I will never marry you!”
“He eh he he hi! I’ll turn you into a frog” she replied and as soon as she said “Frog”, she gave a wave of her magic wand the prince started shrinking and turning green.
“The only way you will turn back into a Prince again, is if a Princess kisses you... before another frog does that is. He eh he he hi”.
Prince Jacques hopped all around Europe, Asia and the Middle East looking for a princess to kiss him. But each time he got anywhere near a princess, the reaction was the same... she would scream and run away.
One month before his birthday he began to get very homesick, so he decided to go back to the castle in Paris. He thought of how much he would like to see his sister on their birthday, and he thought perhaps Dominique could persuade one of her friends to give him a kiss.
However, when he arrived at the castle, on his birthday, as he hopped past the gate, he heard a blood-curdling scream and saw two young princesses running away from him, screaming “Frog!” the cook came out (She was usually nice to Jacques and would make him eggs on toast every morning) she yelled at Jacques
“If you don’t leave my princesses alone, I’ll turn you into dinner”.
“She doesn’t recognise me” the dejected prince said to himself as he hopped out of the castle grounds.
“Well, no princess in Europe, Asia or the middle East is interested in helping me, perhaps I can go on a ship and try my luck elsewhere,” he thought as he hopped to Calais.
He snuck on board a ship, called the De Colores, in someone’s lunchbox and then hid in some ropes, till the ship was well out to sea. He was pretty good at staying hidden, until the day it started to rain.
The frog part of him could not resist hopping out to dance and sing. He was so busy enjoying himself that he did not realise that he had an audience.
If Captain Joshua Glimmersword, was surprised to hear a frog aboard is ship singing in French, he was amazed to hear him change to Spanish, his own language.
When Jacques realised he had an audience, he started to croak. But Joshua tricked him into talking. He then asked him why he could talk and Jacques told him the whole story of Carina, Jacoba Piggy and his trip around Europe.
The Captain told Jacques that he was Princess Carina’s cousin and of how she had been rescued by Prince Carlos of England, last year and that due to a tragedy in his family, they had to leave the De Colores and take over his father’s rule in England. He also mentioned that they would arrive in New Caledonia in a few weeks and said perhaps he would have more luck there.
As the ship docked they thanked each other for the French and Portuguese lessons, they had given and received to pass the time and wished each other a safe Journey.
Green frogs don’t like sand much, it was hot and salty, but soon Jacques was hopping in the forest. He was so happy he started to sing again. As he was hopping along he noticed a lady who was sitting by a well crying.
He hopped over to her and asked if she was ok. She was so distraught; it didn’t seem strange to her that she was talking to a frog.
She told him that she was upset as she dropped her ball in the well. She’d tried to get it out but the fishing net was too short and the tree branch could not grip the ball.
The ball was made of gold and it was a gift from her father, just before he died. She was sitting thinking of him when the ball slipped from her fingers into the well and now she was worried she would never see it again.
Jacques said “No problem, I can dive into the well and get it back for you”
“Really, you would do that for me?”
“Sure frogs love swimming”
“Thank-you what can I do in return?”
“Well, now that you ask, could you kiss me Princess Cherie, if I get the ball back for you?”
“Oui”
So the frog-prince took a huge breath and dove into the water. He picked up the ball and began to swim back to the surface.
The princess picked up the frog and the ball thanking him profusely, she planted a kiss on his cheek.
Prince Jacques started to feel himself change back into a man. When the metamorphosis was complete, he thanked Princess Cherie, who now recognised her friend’s brother, Prince Jacques.
Prince Jacques once again told the story of Jacoba Piggy and his adventure, as they walked back to her Grandmother’s place where Cherie and her mother were vacationing.
Prince Jacques, asked Cherie to be his wife. She had one condition; never eat insects again... she had 1000 pet butterflies.
They had two children, Jeremiah and Tamiah, who were always known to their friends as Miah and Mia. They were the second best swimmers in the world, their father being the best.

Dominique and Gabriel
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life
Winston Churchill
The three fairies Ana, Belinda and Kathléna had two babies to visit and bless with gifts, Jacques and Dominique.
As you may or may not know, Ana and Belinda give to all princesses the gifts of beauty and grace and to each prince, the gifts of handsomeness and charm.
The wise fairy Kathléna looked down at the sleeping twins and said softly “Prince Jacque, I give you the gift of Discernment and Princess Dominique; I give you the gift of A soft heart”.
The King and Queen, thanked the fairies, gave them gifts asked their advice on a few pressing matters involving the Kingdom of France and hugged them goodbye, wishing them a safe journey.
Jacques and Dominique, grew up to be very good friends, until they became teenagers. Dominique had become friends with Jacoba Piggy. Jacques could never quite decide why, but he just didn’t trust her.
Dominique was not interested in what her brother had to say about Jacoba. Jacoba, stood up for her when others were mean to her. Sure, when Jacoba was around she felt herself being pressured into doing things she would not normally do, snubbing people Jacoba thought were beneath them, lying, playing nasty pranks on people and laughing at them when they were upset “Can’t cake a joke” they’d snigger.
But whenever they would get into trouble, Jacoba would always find a way to blame Dominique. Dominique began to realise that her brother was right, Jacoba was not a good friend for her and she hated the way she behaved around Jacoba.
Dominique decided to change her behaviour and change her friends. Jacoba started to like Dominique less when she realised that she couldn’t boss her around anymore.
It was difficult at first to make friends, as people did not trust her much. But she worked hard at becoming a good friend. Her Dad used to encourage her telling her “To have a friend you need to be a friend”.
Cara and Cherie became her two closest friends. She realised that her brother had wisdom about people and began to listen to his advice about friends. She found that she didn’t have to make other people sad to be happy. People stopped being mean to her when she was nice to them.
She missed Jacques when he went away and was very sad on their 22nd birthday when she didn’t see him at all. When all her friends had gone home from the slumber party she held; Sir Dimmik began to visit her.
Jacques had warned her not to trust him, and when he asked her to marry him, she said “No!”
“If I cannot marry you, NOBODY shall!” he screamed as he put her into a tower, which had not only a purple dragon guarding it, but a moat filled with baby crocodiles around it.
The dragon tried to eat her, but she was faster. She grabbed her mirror and reflected sunlight with it into the dragon’s eyes. The dragon screamed and she pushed him out the window, and he flew away as she shut the glass.
Relieved that the dragon was gone, the princess started to wonder how she could get around the baby crocodiles.
About two weeks later, she was out of ideas. She noticed a boat coming across the moat and a man rock-climbing to the window. Fearing at first that it was Sir Dimmik again, she thought fast grabbing her bow and arrows. As she tried to get a good aim she realised it was Prince Gabe, and opened the window for him to jump in.
He walked over to her, tugging on her hair,
“Ouch!”
“Sorry, Princess Dominique, do you want to get out of here?”
“Do I ever”
They put on the harnesses and ropes and abseiled to the bottom of the tower where the captain was waiting to help them into the boat.
Aboard the boat, Gabe mentioned that he was surprised to find no dragon and impressed when the princess told him of how she got rid of it. He apologised again for the hair pulling and told her about his dealings with Jacoba Piggy...
Gabe had set out a few months ago to rescue a princess and marry her. While he was sleeping, the map which Lord Forest and Princess Cara sent him to find Princess Dominique, was switched by Jacoba Piggy as a consequence, he arrived at the wrong tower.
He battled the green dragon (a dragon which causes the people around it to be very sick) and entered the tower. He thought he saw Dominique, but upon talking to her realised there was something not quite right. She kicked the kitten that was in the corner of the room.
Gabe realised that it could not be Dominique, as she was gifted with a soft heart and would never be so cruel to animals. So he went closer and pulled the lady’s hair… Ready to tell her, “How do you like that” when the wig fell off and he realised that it was Jacoba Piggy.
“Jacoba Piggy! I will never marry you” he exclaimed
“He he he he heeee that’s what Prince Jacques said, right before I turned him into a frog; The same way I am going to turn YOU into a PIG”
But Gabe was quick with his shield, Zavier, and as she said Pig the curse bounced off his shield and back onto her and she turned into a pig.
Gabe found a Pig farmer to look after Jacoba the pig and a sailor offered to find the owner of the kitten.
“So the good news is that your brother did not marry Jacoba, but the bad news was that she turned him into a frog. I’d like to help you look for him”
Captain, Benedict, replied, “Jacques is quite safe, he’s engaged to Princess Cherie and both are waiting for you in Paris, I have been aboard the De Colores last fortnight for the journey to New Caledonia”.
Gabe asked the princess to marry him and there was a double wedding, the celebrations lasting a month, not too long later, in Paris.


Lord Forest recovers his temper
Even if you are right; if you lose your temper, you lose.
When Lord Forest was a baby, the three fairies, Kathléna, Ana and Belinda, did not come to his cradle or that of his identical twin brother, Sir Dimmik. They were not invited.
They were very polite fairies, so they stayed away.
They were not invited either, when Jacoba, their younger sister was born. The children’s parents did not believe in dragons, and thought that the fairies were only after their money.
Lord Forest, Sir Dimmik and Jacoba (nick-named Jacoba Piggy) grew up selfish, unkind and nasty. Like their parents, they did not have many friends, didn’t really want friends, unless they could manipulate them.
Lord Forest, was a very talented archer, in fact he was the second best archer in Europe. That was until he put his competition, Prince Matteo into an enchanted sleep, in a secret room of a deserted tower. He was very desperate to win the archery competition that year, and the next.
Sir Dimmik and Lord Forest were each determined to marry a princess. However no princess would agree to wed them as they were manipulative, untruthful and had very nasty tempers, so the brothers would put the princesses into towers until they changed their minds (or escaped).
The last princess that Lord Forest put into a tower was Princess Bella of Italy. Each day he would ride to the tower, and ask her if she had changed her mind. Everyday she would reply “Lord Forest I will never marry you!”
“Well stay there forever!” He would yell in reply
On the third day, he had come to check on the princess, he realised that Bella and Matteo were escaping and he was very angry. So angry that he did something in his anger that he truly regretted later; He pulled the hair and beard of Prince Matteo and the prince fell from the window of the tower.
Fortunately for the prince (and not so lucky for Lord Forest) the prince landed on top of him and the prince and princess took off on his horse.
Prince Matteo and Princess Bella called an ambulance for Lord Forest, when they reached the safety of a nearby village.
When Lord Forest, was in hospital, he realised that he could not ever be truly happy if he kept losing his temper. The hospital chaplain, who came to visit him, suggested that he participate in an anger management course through Salvatore College. He enjoyed the courses so much, that he took some dragon-fighting classes too and was quite talented with not only a bow and arrow but a sword and shield.
During his anger management course, Lord Forest wrote apology notes to all the people he had done nasty things to including Princess Bella and Prince Matteo.
When he graduated from Salvatore College, he decided to go and rescue the princesses his brother had put into towers. He made some inquiries and found that Princess Cara, Bella’s younger sister, was in a tower with a purple dragon guarding her.
Dragon fighters are always prepared, learning a thing or two from Princess Bella, when Lord Forest arrived at the tower; he slipped some sleeping tablets into the dragon’s food. When the dragon fell asleep, he tiptoed carefully past it (dragons’ snore, when they sleep and breathe fire) up into the tower.
When he arrived at the top, Princess Cara didn’t recognise him at first as his face had changed from angry to happy. He asked her if she wanted to get out of here, to which she replied “Yes”.
They tiptoed passed the dragon and ran for their lives to the next town. When she realised it was Lord Forest, Princess Cara was very surprised and, invited him to dinner with her family to say thanks for the rescue.
Princess Cara’s family noticed the positive changes in Lord Forest and complimented him on his calm temper and nice manners. Forest and Cara would practise dragon fighting techniques and together, they became sharper.
When Lord Forest told Cara of his desire to fight dragons and rescue more people, she really wanted to go with him. So he asked her parents for permission to marry the princess. Cara’s parents said “Lord Forest, we would not have liked you to marry Bella, but you have proved to us that you have changed and nothing would give us greater pleasure than to see you married to Cara”.


The legend of silly Lizzy
Sympathy is addictive you crave it like a drug; Beware the overly Sympathetic...
Sympathy is never Ever FREE.
Elizabeth DeValli had 2 wonderful parents and two sisters. Lizzy, as she was often called in her childhood, was given the gift of a good imagination by the wise fairy Kathléna. She spent most of her days dreaming of a better life. What Lizzy was yet to understand was how good her life really was and how many blessings there were enriching her life that she overlooked everyday.
Things like enough food to eat, a nice warm bed, a house to keep out the cold (yes, even though she had to share her room) clean drinking water and air. Lizzy was not a bad person, she just did not realise how many good things she had in her life that she could be thankful for.
When Lizzy would get in to trouble for fighting with her sisters, she would go off and sulk, in her tree house, saying to anyone who would listen... “It’s not fair! My sisters always pick on me, if I had been given nicer sisters, we wouldn’t be having this problem” she conveniently forgot the ways she used to provoke them by hiding their toys, and playing childish tricks on them, that made them feel ridiculous.
When she did not do well in her tests at school she would blame it on not having been given smarter brains... However her teachers would often catch her staring out of the window: day-dreaming. They would say “Lizzy are you working?”
“Yes,” Lizzy would tersely reply, annoyed about having her story interrupted.
When Lizzy became older she used to dream of a knight riding along on his palomino horse and rescuing her from her nasty family, and boring life. In fact she was so busy dreaming one day as she was out riding her bay horse, Brontes, that she didn’t see that a blue dragon had appeared in front the horse and scared him. Brontes bolted. Lizzy lost her seat landing on the hard ground. She didn’t see that the dragon had horse for dinner. In fact, she didn’t see anything for almost an hour.
She woke up in a warm bed in a strange house with a handsome man who introduced himself as Ralph-Rae and told her that her horse had run off and it was lucky she fell, and he rescued her, as the horse was heading for a cliff. Lizzy was sad about losing her horse, she cried and Ralph-Rae the Rotten gave her red medicine called Sympathy, it tasted very nice and would make her feel better for a time, but eventually, she would feel sad again. In fact whenever Lizzy would complain, Ralph-Rae the rotten would always have plenty of Sympathy ready for her. What she didn’t know, was that all of her complaining was making his pet blue dragon bigger, and the bigger the dragon grew, the more discontent Lizzy became.
The other thing that Lizzy definitely did not realise was that Ralph-Rae the Rotten was preparing to make her a dragon’s dinner very soon. He put her in his dungeon and everyday he would check on her. When she cried and told him that she thought he was her friend, he laughed coldly and told her about the other girls who thought that too and he told her that they ended up the same place that she was going... Dragon’s Belly
“Wa Ha Ha Ha Ho” he laughed loudly as Lizzy cried.
Lizzy started to realise, that her life at home had been pretty good compared to the one she had now. She started to miss her family, and thought that if she ever got out of here, she would love to see them again, even for a moment. She wanted to apologise for taking them for granted.
She started to be thankful for her family, and as she became thankful, the dragon started to get smaller.
Ralph-Rae was worried about his pet and went to get some dragon medicine, from the door-to-door salesman who came to the house, the next day.
While the salesman was showing his medicines to Ralph-Rae the Rotten, three Dragon-fighters crept past him in an effort to find the trapped Lizzy. Princess Cara, was ready with the Salt that she flung at the dragon. The salt hit him as he flew away, but his cry alerted Ralph-Rae.
Prince Michael (the peddler) was ready for him, telling Ralph-Rae the Rotten that it sounded like he really needed a lot of this one pointing to the big barrel, of a greenish vomit looking medicine. Naming a very exorbitant price, he pointed out that the dragon may not live without it. So Ralph-Rae the Rotten went out to his well (the secret hiding place for all his gold) to purchase the medicine.
The dragon-fighters went through the house looking for Lizzy, Deborah found her first and untied her, while Lord Forest carried her out to the carriage which was waiting.
She and Cara were waiting with the ropes, ready to tie up Ralph. When he returned, they locked him in his dungeon with the “dragon medicine” which was full of salt... very bad for dragons.
When Ralph-Rae The Rotten realised that he had been tricked he was very Angry, and began yelling, screaming and swearing. Lord Forest told him that he should do something about his temper.
Deborah tipped out his entire stock of Sympathy medicine saying, “You won’t be requiring this anymore, Ralph-Rae the Rotten”.
The four Dragon fighters took Lizzy to hospital where she recovered from her injuries. Cara and Deborah visited her each day and from talking with them, she realised that she had some changes to make.
She decided that she needed to go back to Jae School, this time she put in a whole lot more effort and had good enough grades to go to Salvatore College. She was no longer silly anymore and went by her whole name Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, was careful about the friends she made, realising that she did not need people’s sympathy to be happy, she set about to be a friend and she found that she now had many friends. Instead of trying to be rescued, she decided to help people who needed it. She used her imagination in more suitable ways, such as the school drama club and eventually, she became a very much loved, Jae School teacher.

Elizabeth, Antoinette and Rachel
Once there were three princesses, Antoinette, Elizabeth and Rachel. You would not have picked them for sisters except for one thing- their laugh. Although they loved each other dearly, they were as different in nature as they were in looks.Elizabeth had red hair and green eyes, Antoinette had blonde hair and brown eyes, and their middle sister, Rachel, had raven black hair and striking blue eyes.Each of the sisters attended Jae-School but only Antoinette and Elizabeth went on to Salvatore College. Rachel was not very interested in fighting dragons. She hoped that the she could marry a prince who would do all the fighting for her. Rachel was beautiful, with a fair complexion and attracted many princes- some nice, some handsome some not so nice… It seemed that the worse the princes were, the more our fair princess was attracted to them. At first her sisters would try to warn her that the princes were not all that they seemed, but it just made Rachel angry, so they stopped.While the fair princess was entertaining the princes, her sisters were polishing their swords, practising extinguishing flaming arrows with their shields and fighting off dragons that had threatened the family. Sooner or later, as they worked, the bad princes would drop away.One day another wise princess, Bella, told Elizabeth about a dagger she had which was particularly effective in keeping dragons away from her family. Elizabeth liked it so much that she had one made for herself, one for her sisters and several for her friends.She practised with the dagger and won many small victories. Her friends loved the daggers she had gifted them and told her of the huge dragons they had scared off with them. Elizabeth was so excited that on the day of her sister’s wedding, she gave to Rachel, the dagger she had saved all her money to buy. Alas, the fair princess and her husband, Prince Philippe did not see the value of the dagger. Sometimes, dragons would come to their new house; Rachel would cry “Help! Help!” someone would always come to her rescue. Sometimes the king or queen, sometimes her sister or friend, other times her husband… when he was not busy riding his horse and telling her that he was the boss. One day Elizabeth asked the Fair Princess if she liked the dagger that she had sacrificed to get her. To which Rachel replied that it really was a useless gift for her and her husband and that they really had no use for it. Elizabeth swallowed back the tears and waves of disappointment rolled through her stomach and onto her face, so she hung her head and let her hair mask her disappointed countenance.She never mentioned again how great she thought the dagger was to our fair princess. Eventually she began to wonder if it was all a trick and started to use it less. She wondered when it would be her turn to have a dragon-fighting partner… When he comes, I’ll use it again she compromised. The dragons were delighted.Sometimes one of her friends would tell her how fantastic the dagger was that she had given them. She’d nod and smile- but think back to the one person who did not treasure her gift… and she’d persuaded herself that when her dragon-fighting partner came along… they’d show her sister and her husband how great the dagger really was.One day two or three dragons crept over to the fair princess’ house attacking from all sides they breathed fire on the castle and burned it to pieces. Prince Philippe blamed the Fair princess and went back to his kingdom.But Elizabeth remembered the dagger she had treasured so long ago. She knew that it was possible to rebuild the castle, and it could be better than it was before, she knew of others it had worked for… others who loved the dagger.Suddenly some of the old princes started coming back to visit Princess Rachel. Could she see through them this time? Her sisters knew that if the Fair Princess would just pick up the dagger, their motives would become crystal clear.Elizabeth knew that for Rachel to use her dagger, she had to get hers out too. But would all her efforts come to naught? Because the only way her family could fight the dragons, that burned the castle, and win was if the Fair princess fought the good fight with them. It was hard work but the family restored the Castle, and it was not just left to Elizabeth’s family. Antoinette’s new husband Leandros helped as did Benedict and Anastasia and not too far into the castle restoration Prince Philippe came back to help. His family had been shocked by this tragedy and told him that his behaviour in leaving was most inappropriate for a prince, even his sister Isabelle, and brother Ramon came to help. Philippe and Rachel went to Salvatore College as they were restoring their house, they now saw the value in Dragon-Fighting classes. Rachel found her dagger and used it very effectively and Philippe found he was very good at shooting arrows; he even gave Prince Matteo and Lord Forest good competition.
