Princess Nina and the Centaur Brothers
Once upon a time, beyond the pyramids, the Red Sea, and the tower that touched the sky, there was a violet forest called the Land of Miraco.
The Land of Miraco was home to the most beautiful magical creatures on Earth and was protected by a magical dome bubble that made it invisible to the rest of the world.
The Rulers of the Land of Miraco
The Land of Miraco was ruled by the centaur brothers, creatures half-human, half-horse.
The eldest brother, Pegasander, was the wisest and most intelligent of the three. He made all decisions regarding law and order in the kingdom, but he was also quick to anger.
The second brother, Doralo, was the strongest, and his job was to protect the magic dome from intruders.
The youngest brother, Arion, was the most handsome and beautiful creature in the entire kingdom. He was so attractive that mermaids, fairies, and dragon ladies always fell in love with him.
His responsibilities were sorcery and magic, and he made sure no one used spells for the wrong reasons. Together, the three centaur brothers ruled the Land of Miraco and ensured that everyone lived in peace and happiness.
The Magician's Championship
With the arrival of spring, it was time for the usual "Greatest Magician" championship. Witches and wizards from different parts of the Land of Miraco came to participate.
The centaur brothers, being the best magicians in the kingdom, were the judges. The crowd waited eagerly.
First, came Lady Frost, who bowed before the brothers and then made an ice structure, looking exactly like Pegasander, emerge from Pegasander's cup. Pegasander smiled. The crowd cheered.
— Ooh! Bravo!
Then, in a moving water barrel, came the Green Triton. He bowed before the brothers and then created water bubbles in the air. He then entered one of the bubbles, becoming a smaller version of himself. The bubbles came closer, and the Green Triton reappeared at his true size.
— Ooh! Incredible!
Pegasander looked at Doralo and approved. Next came the Lion Frog, who jumped like no one else, and then a dragon lady, followed by a fairy. They continued like this all day, and the crowd was delighted.
An Unexpected Intrusion
As the brothers finally began to discuss among themselves who should win, they suddenly heard someone shouting:
— Hello! Is anyone here? I think I'm lost.
— Intruders!
Arion took a stance and moved his wand, but before he could cast a spell, a girl so beautiful appeared from the bushes that he froze. The maiden, dressed in a beautiful blue dress, looked like a princess.
— Oh, how glad I am to finally see you! Ah!
The maiden fell unconscious. All the Miracans gathered around her and looked at her in wonder.
— How could a human enter Miraco?
Doralo leaped into the air, flying. His army followed him, flying one by one. Meanwhile, Arion closed his eyes and placed his finger on Nina's temple.
— What can you see? — Only her name, Princess Nina, but I see nothing else. Her memories are blurry. — Guards, take her and bring her to the prison until Doralo finds out who this intruder is and what her intentions are.
The guards, using their magic, lifted her and carried her towards the prison tower, while she floated senselessly.
Nina in Prison
That night, Doralo returned to his brothers and told them that he couldn't find out how Princess Nina had entered the Land of Miraco, as the magic dome was perfectly sealed everywhere.
— We will continue our investigation, as it has never happened for a human to set foot here, and we don't want to change that. Until then, the maiden remains a prisoner.
Doralo approved and left, while Arion was worried. Later, Arion, with his magic, appeared in the prison where Nina was. She was
