A new Castle

The Mysterious Volcano

Princess Ribrice and her Family had just moved from their home town Ashcok to Slumprock for a new start, her father King Panpite had to leave Ashcok because of his evil brother who took over his kingdom.

Slumprock is a deserted land,very far from Ashcok, no one has lived there for centuries, King Panpite had no choice but to run that far for his evil brother wants his life.

Princess Ribrice is a very understanding child, loves nature,loves animals,loves and respects people despite being the princess,she even had her own dragon Piepus,it had been with her since she was a child.

Princess Ribrice loved her formal home but she was willing to accept whatever was here for her in Slumprock.

All the guards that came with King Panpite and his family were a hundred and eighty heavily armed men and their families,ready to fight and give their lives for the king and his family.

Queen Camrile, a very gentle soul, the kind of support any King would want, she has always been by the side of the king. She is just as passionate about nature just like her daughter Princess Ribrice.

The guards worked day and night to make sure they build a Castle suitable for their King and his family while they lived in a tent close by.

After several weeks they were able to build the castle and King Panpite and his family moved into their new castle while the guards and their families occupied their quarter in the castle backyard and it was merriment for them all throughout the whole week. Their circle was small with no neighbors around it wasn't much of a party just happiness of starting something new.

As everyone else was busy enjoying the new castle Piepus the dragon was finding it hard to get along in the castle being a big dragon he was not able to enter the kitchen to get food, Princess Ribrice was trying to unpack her bags in her new room, she didn't realize that her pet needed her, Piepus have been eating the remains from the castle for weeks and it needed something more,so it tried to get food from the kitchen.

Piepus was furious as its attempt to enter the kitchen several times was futile, Piepus left the castle in search of food.

Wandering around Slumprock it stumbled on a tree near a volcano, Piepus hurriedly grabbed the fruit from the tree and ate as much as it could.

Princess Ribrice was done with unpacking and came out looking for Piepus,since they arrived at Slumprock it has never left her side,she was very worried and decided to go out with some guards to look for her dragon.

She left with about twenty guards all fully armed,they wandered around the bushes calling out to Piepus as they came near a muddy soil they saw Piepus foot prints on the ground and decided to trail it, as they trail it they came across a volcano, Princess Ribrice called out for Piepus and it answered,rah rah.

Princess Ribrice was so happy she ran to Piepus, saying I thought I lost you, don't ever wander without me again,as she was giving it a gentle hug her hands rested on the wall of the volcano suddenly both her and Piepus including the guards vanished into the volcano.

Inside the volcano there was no fire, it was a world of its own, there they were welcomed by a voice which calls out her name every time she blinks, Princess Ribrice was surprised and was wondering where the voice was coming from, she was a bit scared but was comforted by the voice who asked her not to be afraid.

The voice told her that she's a Princess with a pure heart,her love for nature and her kindness to all kind is the reason why the volcano found her, that the volcano was on the land where her tent was built and that the volcano saw how she took care of the land,the animals and even humans.

The voice told her it wants to gift her riches kingdoms will seek after, that one day she will be queen and rule well just like her father.

The voice told Princess Ribrice and her guards to open their hands,they did and it was filled with bags of precious stones,gold, silver and pearls. The voice asked Princess Ribrice to take a look at a frame near her and she was surprised to see herself in it, the voice told her that you have become our people, we will fight your war, and be your peace.

Lastly a very tall girl with face closed came from a wall closed to her and gave her a nacklace of pearl and disappeared.

The voice told her that nacklace is for her to call them anytime she need them, that there are more of them,and they will fight for her and be her peace

As the voice made that last words they found themselves in the front of their castle while the volcano was no more there.

Princess Ribrice climbed her dragon back to where they saw the volcano at first but it wasn't there anymore just the tree. She came back to the castle and was surprised to hear all the guards that went with her unable to tell what happened and how they came about with the treasures. They kept on saying it's for Princess Ribrice,she was shocked and confused as to why they can't remember how they came about the treasures.

Princess Ribrice narrated everything to her parents and her father was astonished,he told her he had heard about it when he was a little boy but never knew it was real.

King Panpite told her they are called the Volcanpearl, because they leave in a volcano and calls who ever they showed themselves to with a pearl nacklace, he told her that " you can't see them when you want them to come,they only come when you have their call necklace, not everyone can see them"

Princess Ribrice showed her father the nacklace on her, he was very happy for her...King Panpite continued by saying no one can touch it on you, it's solely for you, if anyone tries to get it from you it sucks the life out of them.

She wasn't happy with that fact that it could kill someone,but that wasn't part of her worries, why the guards can't remember anything,maybe it's for her safety, she presumed.
