Princess Anastasia Part 2: The Tiara Kingdom
Surely you've heard about Tanzaonga, the safest kingdom in the world, where people were happy, and days were full of joy. And the nights, oh, the nights, splendid and magical.
And lately, they were even more full of stars and wonderful. It was as if they were trying to send a message to someone, someone from a land they had a connection with, someone special.
— Help us, child! Help us!
Tanzaonga and the Princess's Dream
— Anastasia, the people of the kingdom can hardly wait for the festival. Princess? — Yes, yes. Sorry, I... — Is everything alright, Ana?
Anastasia told Micico about her dream and how very real it seemed.
— And I've been dreaming it every night for the past two months.
Micico's eyes widened, and she took a deep breath.
— What is it? — Ah, I think it's time you knew.
The Tiara Kingdom and Capto's Threat
South of the Yellow Sea is a kingdom that was once inhabited by fairies, in all their splendor. It's called the Tiara Kingdom.
The Tiara Kingdom was ruled by the fairy queen Ursa. Under her leadership, the kingdom was the happiest place on Earth. But the evil King Capto of the Empty Lands set his eyes on it.
He took his army and came to the kingdom. Then, your father, King Boris, went to help them and chased away Capto's army.
— Father? — Yes. — And then?
Fortunately, Queen Ursa blessed your mother, who was pregnant with you. And when you were born, you had the same constellation mark under your eyes, just like the fairy queen.
The Eclipse and Queen Ursa's Capture
But when King Boris took over Tanzaonga, Capto seized the opportunity. He planned to attack Queen Ursa. This time, not just with his army, but with an even more wicked plan.
He decided to take advantage of the upcoming solar eclipse.
— A solar eclipse?
All fairies draw their power from Queen Ursa, and Queen Ursa draws her power from the stars. Our sun is the closest star, and during a solar eclipse, Ursa loses her powers.
Her wand was taken, and she was imprisoned in a cage, far from the kingdom. Without her, the fairies were left powerless, and it wasn't long before the evil dictator took complete control of the kingdom.
— We must help her!
Anastasia's Journey
— That's why she's trying to contact you. But know this, Ana, the path to her is fraught with dangers. It's not easy to get there. — I don't like easy things anyway, Master!
And so, that night, Micico explained the route to the Tiara Kingdom and to the places where Ursa was being held.
— Thank you, Master! Now I ask you to leave! Please, take care of the kingdom, and I will return soon.
The First Trial: Capto's Soldiers
— Hey, why are you closing your eyes? Your eyes! — Huh? — Ha, I taught them a lesson. Oh! — Huh? What's this? — Are you looking for your friend? — Huh? Who are you? Don't you know this is King Capto's kingdom? — Huh? Ha, ha, ha. — And if I see you tormenting these innocent creatures again, you wretches, I swear by the sun you'll never see him again! Now, go tell your king his days are numbered! — Huh? Ha, ha, ha. — Who are you? Asia! — Oh, I've heard about you! You're Super Asia! Have you come to save us? Look, she has the same mark under her eyes as our queen!
— Listen, I need your help! Inform all the fairies to... — We're leaving now! — Bye! Come on, take it! — Wow! I want to be like her! — Me too! Me too!
The Boulder Giant
As day broke, Anastasia reached the outskirts of the Tiara Kingdom, and there, her first challenge awaited her: the Boulder Giant.
— Who are you and what do you want? — I want you to step aside so I can pass! — No, only if you can answer a question. — Oh, that's simpler than I thought. Yes, sure! Tell me! — No, are you making fun of me? — No, sir! I'm not making fun! — Hmm, alright. Answer! The more you make, the more you leave behind. What is it? — The more you make, the more you leave behind. What could it be? I've come all this way and I can't answer a riddle? After walking so... Wait a minute! I know! Ha, ha! I know! — No? — The answer is: footsteps! The more you make, the more you leave behind. Ha, ha, ha! — Alright. You may pass.
And the Boulder Giant stepped aside.
— Wait, Anara!
The Trap and the Hidden Power
After walking for a while, she felt the ground move beneath her feet. And, before she knew it, she was hanging upside down in the air, suspended by a rope.
— Ah, ah, ah! Yes! — Ah! — Oh, oh! — Okay, this isn't good! — Ah, ah, ah! — Ah! — Ah, ah, ah! — Wow! How did I do that?
Suddenly, the mark under her eye began to glow. Anastasia realized she was getting closer. She started to run and reached the edge of a pit.
It wasn't just any pit, but one of flames. On the other side was a cage. Anastasia couldn't see what was inside, but she knew it was Queen Ursa.
The problem was, she had no bridge to cross.
— What do I do? — Hey! Take this! — Anastasia! No! It can't be! Anastasia can manipulate fire!
Fire Manipulation
— Anastasia heard my call! I am so proud of you! We don't have much time. We must reach the kingdom as quickly as possible. By now, the fairies have probably frozen the soldiers with the poisoned wine. We must get there quickly and attack Capto! — Alright!
Capto and the Sleeping Soldiers
Meanwhile, King Capto didn't know that outside his room, all the soldiers were fast asleep.
— Mu, Johnny, I now intend to conquer Tanzaonga. I've heard it's a wonderful kingdom, and I like to turn wonderful kingdoms into ruins. — Yes, yes, my lord, but what about the vigilante who attacked our soldiers? Don't worry! — Ah, no way! You deal with that. I have more important matters. I want to conquer Tanzaonga! — So be it. Although I've heard the kingdom is ruled by a very powerful princess, Princess Anastasia. — A princess? Is she the same princess who tricked Boris? Well, I learned betrayal when I was... What?
The Final Confrontation
— Ursa! Ursa! How did you get here? Soldiers! — Ah, what did you say? You learned betrayal when? What? — Who are you? Soldiers! — Mu, Johnny, what's happening? — No, Your Majesty! She is... — Who? — Princess Anastasia! — No! I'll show you! — Do you really think princesses are weak and delicate? Think again! — No, please! You can't hurt me! I have Ursa's magic wand, and you'll never find it!
Victory and the Restoration of Peace
— You mean this? — No! How? How? Where did you get it? — Listen, Capto! Your soldiers are all frozen! When a leader is corrupt, it doesn't take long for their administration to fall! Fairies, prepare yourselves! — No!
And so, the fairies regained their magic.
Capto was put in a cage and sent to the same place where he had taken Queen Ursa.
— No! No!
Magic and love returned to the Tiara Kingdom, and Ursa ascended the throne again. The fairies praised her, but more than their queen, they praised their savior, Princess Anastasia.
— Super Asia! Super Asia! Super Asia! Super Asia! Thank you, Ana! Thank you for everything! — No need to thank me. It's my duty. And we have a connection. — Yes! The sun is our connection! But know this, Ana, you are very powerful. You must learn to master all your powers and know your abilities.
A New Era of Happiness
— Well, now I'm returning to my people. The rest can wait. — Ha, ha, ha!
And so, happy days returned to the Tiara Kingdom. Tanzaonga rejoiced, for their princess had returned.
— Yay, hurray! Oh, yay, hurray! Oh, yay, hurray! Oh, yay, hurray!
That night, a fantastic spectacle appeared in the sky, as thousands of lanterns were released into the air, accompanied by falling stars.
Be brave and confident in yourself, for you have hidden powers that you must discover.
