Carina and Philippe's Quest To The Different Lands
In the magical land of Atlantix, there is a simple fairy girl named Carina. Her family loved her so much. Her parents had been waiting for her for a long time, because they wished to have a fairy child. They lived in a very poor family. Her mother is staying at home taking care of them. Her father worked on the farm. They took care of fruit on their land.
Every night, before going to bed, her father tells her stories about the Land of Dreams. Since then, Carina dreamt about going to that place. Her father says it is a land of many beautiful things. It can show your future. They also offer many opportunities to fulfill your dreams. It is also full of many kind people, everything that you can dream of. One night, Carina cannot help herself but to ask her father.
She said "Father."
" Yes? " Her father responded.
"Have you ever gone to the Land of dreams?" Carina asked.
"No." her father said."
Then, how come you know it well?" said Carina.
His father responded with sad eyes. "Well, your grandfather was able to go there. He used to tell us stories about it. "
Carina was very amused, saying, "Really?"
"Yes, but since then he has never come back.
It is also very far. You cannot go there. . Alright, time to go to bed." Her father said.
"Good night Father, next time you can also tell stories about Grandpa," Carina said.
"Okay, good night sweetheart," her father said.
Carina slept soundly. Her mother overheard their conversation and asked her father about it.
"You know, maybe you should stop telling her stories about the Land of Dreams," his wife said.
"I can't help it. It is the only memory I have of Dad."
"Okay, I understand." says his wife.
10 YEARS LATER
Carina is now 18 years old. She has been planning to journey in the Land of Dreams secretly her whole life. She wanted to find her grandfather. She wants to know why he hasn't found him for years.Carina also wants to learn many things from her Grandpa.
Meanwhile, her parents are now very old. They always ask Carina to buy their needs in the town.Carina has grown into a beautiful lady. Her wings have golden green patterns that match her golden hair. She is really outstanding. Every time she went to town, many Atlantixers notice her. Only she did not have fairy dust. Only royalty have beautiful fairy dust. It signifies their royalty. The more colors you have, the more powerful you are in their kingdom. Since Carina is a simple fairy, she did not have one, but she is gorgeous and has beautiful wings.
She loves to smile in the town. For her, it is really a time to seek adventure every time she goes out.
She is currently buying ingredients for the tulip soup. It is her favorite dish, so she is excited. She even sings while searching for a beautiful tulip in town. She carefully picked them and put them in her basket.
Suddenly...... there was a commotion! There are knights from the Kingdom and have dueled with this handsome man. It was the first time Carina had seen him. He has a white complexion, dark brown hair, and hazelnut-colored eyes. And he is fighting with a sword. From the looks of it, he is quite enjoying the scene. Carina just didn't mind them and continued to pick the tulips.
Until the man accidentally tripped on her. Carina was slightly pissed. "Oh no, the tulips! Will you watch it!" Carina said."I'm sorry young lady. I did not mean it. These knights are pestering me." The handsome man said.The knights were approaching.He got up and took Carina's hand and fled to go to the fields. Carina is shocked but she has no choice. He is holding him tightly.While they are flying, Carina notices that he has fairy dust! It is a shining dark blue glittering dust. Finally, they land in the fields. No one was able to follow them. Carina breaks the silence
"So... are you? " Carina asked.
The man nervously said, "Yes, I am."
"So why are they following you,Your Majesty?" Carina said.
"No need to say Your Majesty, just call me Philippe." the prince said.
"Ok. Philippe. My name is Carina. So, why are they following you?" Carina asked."Well, I have been to the palace my whole life. I want an adventure. Something beyond this town will do. It might sound ridiculous but I want to go to the Land of Dreams," the prince said.
"No, you cannot. My father warned me to go there. He said it was very far and dangerous. But honestly, I also want to go there. I want to find my Grandpa." Carina said with sadness in her eyes.
.
"Well, if that's the case. We can go together, Carina," the prince said.
"First of all, I need to bring home these murdered tulips, my mother needs them for the tulip soup. I will be late for dinner. Maybe we can talk next time about going to the Land of Dreams," Carina said.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that." Philippe shrugged." Ok, let me replace this with new tulips."
Philippe created new tulips using his power.
" Wow!" Carina said in amazement."I didn't know royalties also had powers. A lot of stories say that fairy dust defines royalty. But you are different," Carina said. They plan their quest to the Land of dreams.
CARIN AND PHILIPPE PLANNED THEIR QUEST
''Ok. Here's the deal, Carina. I will lure the guards and plan my escape. It would be hard for me to sneak out this time. My father will surround me with many knights since I escaped once," Philippe said.
"Ok, Philippe. I hope you can escape. I will also find a way to have my own alibi for my parents. So that they will not suspect me, " Carin replied.
Carina and Philippe managed to go home safely and with no suspicions.
ATLANTIX KINGDOM
The King heard the news of Philippe's escapade. All the knights were lined up when he arrived at the palace.
"You can now go back to your posts," the King said.
"Yes, your majesty!" all knights.
"What were you up to?" the King asked angrily.
"Nothing, your majesty. I was just checking on our people," the prince replied.
"Don't waste your time in town. You have many duties here in the fairy kingdom. Don't tell me you are planning to go to that f*******n land? Don't you dare! Your mother died there!" the king said.
"Don't worry father. I will not go there. I hope we can also put them in the dungeon who killed mother." Philippe replied.
CARINA'S HOME
"Oh! there you are dear. What took you so long?" Carina's mother asked.
"I'm sorry mother. There was a little commotion, but I was fine. Look! I have found many good tulips!" Carina replied.
"Where did you find that? Isn't that expensive?" her mother asked.
"No, mother. I bought it at a low price with the help of a friend." Carina replied.
"Oh! You're blushing dear! Tell me who is it ?" her mother asked.
"His name was Philippe," Carin replied.
"Philippe? I think I heard that name before. I just don't remember. I'm glad you have a friend now, my daughter." her mother replied.
"Thank you, mother." Carin replied, smiling.
CARINA AND PHILIPPE QUEST TO THE LAND OF DREAMS
A week later, Carina and Philippe met.They agreed to meet again in the fields. Carina organized her things, the ancient map from the book which she was always reading. A bag of supplies contains food and water.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Prince Philippe is preparing for his escape from the palace to journey with Carina. He is waiting for this moment to come and have a great adventure. So he packed up his binoculars and he also trained for a couple of days, practicing how to control his fairy dust. He also practiced his swordmanship.
CARINA'S HOME
"Mother, I will be visiting Aunt Lucia in the Far Away Land. I will be gone for a month. Please take care of yourselves well. I have stocked many foods and organized the clothes. You might want to exercise your wings for the time being. So that you and father will not be bored," Carina said.
" Dear, you do not have to be worried about us. Me and your father will be fine here. And who says we will be bored? We've been living in this precious house full of great memories. Tell your Aunt, I said hello," her mother said.
"Yes, mother. I will." Carina said regretfully.
Carina did not tell her parents that she would go to the Land of the Dreams. Because she knew they would not let her travel to a far and dangerous place. On top of that, it is where her Grandpa went missing. She may be traveling with a heavy heart but she knew she needed to find her Grandpa. She has a feeling that her Grandpa fairy isn't dead.
"Don't worry Grandpa. They might have given up. But I will not. I will not lose hope." Carina said to herself.
TO THE FIELDS
Philippe managed to escape once again with the knights of the palace.
He flew all the way through as fast as he could to the fields. So that no one will notice Him.
Somehow, he is earlier than Carina at the meeting place.
"Is she coming?" the prince murmured.
"Looking for someone?" Carina said, laughing.
"Oh! There you are Carina! I thought you would not come," the prince said.
"Me? No Philippe! I've been waiting for this my whole life," Carina replied.
"Well then, my lady. Shall we?" Philippe replied.
"Sure! I can't wait!" Carina said.
They both flew away. It was a long journey.
After passing through many lands, the duo stopped by the land called " Far Away Land."
They are exhausted and need to rest for a while. For it is another very long journey to the Land of Dreams.
THE FAR AWAY LAND
The Far Away Land is much more like a desert place. Which Carina and Philippe did not expect. They both looked in each other's faces confused. After travelling a long journey, they just want to rest to regain their strength. Then Carina remembered her Aunt Lucia who was living in this area.
They first go to the pub, which is the nearest place they can go. Before they can enter the house, they can hear loud voices. Singing and drinking. Almost like partying. In the Far Away Land, there are not only fairies but full of enchanted things. Including ogres, magical things like talking animals, or other creatures. There are no rules in this town.
INSIDE THE PUB
Carina and Philippe entered the pub. It is very loud inside but everyone is happy. Creatures in the Far Away Land loved to party.
They overheard one of the ogre said.
"You know, brother. I under estimate that Lucia the fairy from Atlantix. I was about to snatch the things in her place but she has magic!" the ogre said.
"Your crazy man! No one can beat us! We are stronger than fairies." the other ogre said.
''Its true!" the ogre said.
After hearing this, Carina did not hesitate to go to their table.
"May I ask where you saw my Aunt?" Carina said.
"Oh great. Another fairy, " the ogre said.
"I have enough of fairies!" the ogre said. Smashing his glass full of beer.
Philippe then stood up quickly and pointed his sword at the ogre.
"Wait, wait! Okay, fine. I can tell you, but please take away this sword." the ogre said.
"Fine." Philippe said.
They follow the ogre to the last house in the town.
"Are you sure this is the right house?" Philippe asked.
"Yes, of course! What will I gain if I lie to you?" the ogre said.
"Ok. Thank you. This is your reward." Philippe said.
"Wow! Ok bye!" ogre said.
The ogre is very happy for Philippe give him a one piece of gold.
AUNT LUCIA'S HOUSE
"Aunt Lucia! Aunt Lucia! Is anybody home?" Carina shouted at the door loudly.
There was an old woman opening the door. She might be old. But you can still see her beautiful resemblance. Her wings were slightly faded. But she has a similar mark on her wings. Her clothes are colorful. She looks like a middle-class fairy.
"Who are you?" Lucia replied.
" It's me Carina, your niece. I am the daughter of Carisa, your sister." Carina said.
"Oh Carisa! I missed her so much! She is convincing me to live in the Atlantix but I refuse to. I am happy in this town," Lucia replied.
"My mom was fine. She told me to say hello. Aunt Lucia. " Carina said
"I'm doing absolutely fine. You see, an ogre tried to snatch some things but I managed it well, " Aunt Lucia said.
"I've heard it, Aunt. How come you have powers?" Carina asked.
" I inherit it from your Grandpa. I've learned to master it just like he did. You can earn it without being royal," Lucia said.
"Really? By the way, Aunt. This is Prince Philippe from Atlantix," Carina said.
"Hi, Lucia!" Philippe replied.
"Hello your highness. You have come a long way. What brings you here?"' Lucia asked.
"We've come a long way and will continue our quest to the Land of Dreams!" Philippe replied.
"Land of Dreams? No! Not there you two! My father is lost there and still not found until now. Only the strongest and bravest can make it out there alive. It's dangerous, your highness," Lucia said.
"We can do it. I know we do. Besides, I have trained for this adventure," Philippe replied.
"It's not that easy. If I cannot convince you. I will train you instead." Lucia said.
"Okay. Please do so." Philippe replied.
TRAINING WITH AUNT LUCIA
Early the next morning, when Carina woke up. She saw Prince Philippe and her Aunt Lucia outside, doing their magic.
" Concentrate, " Aunt Lucia said.
"I cannot do it," Philippe said.
"You're so slow. Concentrate again. You can do it." Lucia said.
"I'm trying," Philippe said.
Carina saw the beautiful dragon like dark blue fairy dust. It was beautiful and then suddenly it blew a blue fire.
"Okay. Stop. You are good." Lucia said.
"Really? I've done it?" Philippe asked.
"Yes, Philippe. You are great. " Carina said.
"I suggest you rest for now, Philippe. Carina, follow me." Lucia said.
CARINA'S TRAINING
"Ok, Carina. Breathe in. Breathe out. Now, think about the wonderful things you have experienced. A wonderful memory." Lucia said.
Carina began to think about what the Land of dreams looked like. What does her Grandpa look like? and all the things she does with her family.
Lucia was shocked with amazement. Carina's fairy dust is white as snow, it is pure and the reflection is a garden-like field. It has flowing water with beautiful flowers. All of it in one frame.
OK, you are good Carina! Just stay pure as you are and you can overcome any obstacle," Lucia said.
"I did it? Thanks Aunt! I have a dream of Grandpa. He said we'd see each other soon! " Carina responded excitedly.
JOURNEY TO THE LAND OF DREAMS
Early next morning, Carina and Philippe packed their belongings for the journey. Truly, there is a mystery beyond the place and they cannot wait to know it.
Carina was thinking. "Why did my Grandpa go missing after he went there?"She asked herself.
Philippe was also in deep thought while packing things. "Who killed you, my mom?" he asked himself.
"Alright, good luck to the two of you. Have a safe flight. Make sure to use the techniques I teach you. Be invincible so that they will not see your wings." Lucia said.
"We will, Aunt. See you soon!" Carina waved goodbye.
"Goodbye!" Philippe said.
While flying, Philippe asked Carina about what he was bothered about.
"Carina, Philippe asked.
"Yes?" Carina replied.
"Do you think what your Aunt said is true? Those royal fairies are killed in that place for the crystal supply of their land? " Philippe asked.
Carina replied with a laugh. "Don't tell me you believe her? I'm sure she is just scaring us," Carina replied.
"Okay, if you say so. But, if that's the case. I'm ready to fight." Philippe said.
AFTER LONG HOURS OF FLYING
After a long and exhausting journey, the duo finally reach their destination: the Land of Dreams. The answer to all the mystery. The answer to all their questions. The moment of truth.
It's like a big giant magical portal in the entrance. A galaxy like color, glittery. When they enter the land, they can see from afar a crystal-like palace. That is the most colorful thing in this land. It's like it is dragging you to it. The most beautiful place in the land.
As they are exploring the land, since they are tired. They decided to find a floral inn. There are many inns to choose from. As they were entering the inn, the inn lady welcomed them. She is holding a piece of wood where she selects what type of inn they will choose, but there is a strong magic in it.
"Welcome, welcome to the most popular inn in this land! I assume you come from very far away, as I can see." The lady said.
"Thank you. We were looking for two floral rooms," Philippe replied.
"Oh! You are handsome! I wonder, are you a royal? Just kidding," the lady said laughingly.
Carina and Philippe looked at each other confused.
THE NEXT DAY
Carina and Philippe left early because the lady is so mysterious. They did not say goodbye. They decided to find another place to stay. As they journeyed to the land, Carina remembered what her Aunt had said. It may be true based on what they notice in the inn. She felt she also needed to be strong for Philippe. She knows Philippe is strong and brave, but she also needs to be strong.
DWARF INN
As weird as it is, there is an inn called Dwarf Inn in the Land of dreams. Unlike the first inn they went through. This inn was quiet. The dwarfs are serious about their jobs. When they went inside, everyone was busy. From the teller, housekeeping and many more.
"Hello, I'm looking for two rooms," Carina said.
"Okay. Two rooms it is." the dwarf said.
"Room numbers 287 and 288 are tiny rooms," the dwarf said.
"You must be mistaken. We cannot fit in the tiny room," Philippe said.
"Yes you will. Just open the door." the dwarf said.
"Okay, thank you." Philippe replied.
They did not argue anymore. They want to rest.
They proceeded to the rooms. As they key in their room separately, they are transformed into tiny versions of themselves! They are completely shocked. Indeed, this is the land of dreams. It is full of mysteries. They fit in to the rooms and unpacked their things. Because they need strength for the next day.
PHILLIPE'S DREAM
There is a hill full of flowers. Philippe was overwhelmed by the beauty of it. He saw his younger self. He saw a familiar woman from far away busy picking flowers in a basket. She is simple yet pretty. He got closer to the woman, until he recognised her. It was her mother. He hadn't talked to her for a very long time. Philippe was very happy.
"Mother!" Philippe said.
"My son! Here you are. Come and help me pick the flowers. It is your favorite. The daisies!" His mom said.
"Okay. Mom!" Philippe replied.
"Remember when you go on a journey? Be careful. Always be brave and strong. I am always with you." the queen said.
"Yes mom. I will" Philippe replied.
When Philippe woke up, he was full of tears. It is a very long time since he dreamt about his mother. He was young when his mother died. He wished to have asked her about her death. He wished he had dreamed a little longer. Even though he was sad, he was still thankful he had talked to his mom. "Land of dreams, you did a good thing for now" Philippe said to himself.
They left the inn. They came across a show. It has a banner outside the building called "Famous Master Lou".
"Master Lou? " Carina said.
"Yes, I wonder too. Lets watch inside." Philippe said,
They were just in time for the show which was about to start. They saw an old man who had a different level of magic. Everyone was cheering for him. "MASTER LOU! MASTER LOU!" He is wearing a master's robe and he is meditating.
With the loud sound of the gong, the show started.
Later, the old man concentrated. The dust he formed is different from what Carina saw. It has a bloomed garden, with streams all in one. He also used his power to take down the two men he was with. His dust was a light green glitter. It is like him. He may be old, but he is strong. The crowd screamed much louder. They cannot contain the amazement they've seen. He is one of a kind.
After the show, Carina excitedly greeted her. She is amazed by it, no doubt he is a fairy.
"Hello Master Lou, I am Carina." Carina said.
"Hello. What brings you here, young lady?" Lou said.
"I am here to find my grandpa. My fairy family said he did not come back after coming here."
"It is very dangerous to travel here alone," Lou said.
"I'm not alone, Master, this is Philippe," Carina said.
"Hello Philippe. You and your friend must go now. This place is very dangerous," Lou said.
"No, Master. We have a mission here," Philippe replied.
"Well then, good luck," Lou replied.
"We were looking for some place to stay. Can you please help us, Master?" Philippe said.
"Alright then if you insist," Lou replied.
CARINA AND PHILIPPE IN MASTER LOU'S HOUSE
The place of Master Lou was like a shrine. But, when you go inside you will be inside a forest. There is a room to go to the forest where Master Lou is training and mastering his magic.
Master Lou toured them inside.
Before going to the hallway, Carina notices a photo.
"Master, who are the two girls beside you?" Carina asked.
"They are my daughters." Lou replied,
"Are they still alive?" Carina asked.
"Yes they were, but they have probably all grown up now." Lou said.
"You did not meet them? What are their names?" Carina asked.
" I was not able to see them growing up. Their names are Lucia and Carisa," Lou said.
Carina was surprised. "I am Carisa's daughter, Grandpa! I have longed to meet you my whole life. I'm glad you are safe."
"Hello my granddaughter. It is a very long time since I didn't know that my daughters had fairy children now." Lou said.
"I'm glad to see you Carina, " Lou said with a teary eye. "Unfortunately, I cannot go out to the portal. The Crystal Palace King forbids me to go out. "
Why Grandpa? There must be a way to convince them," Carina said.
"They will never let me. Many years ago, they forced me to cast a magic spell so that they could get the power of our beloved Queen. I will never do that again. That's why I opened my training place. I will find a way to get out of here." Lou said.
"You killed my mother? How dare you touch the Queen!" Philippe said.
"I have told you already I was forced! Our queen was a very good person. I regret it every day. " Lou replied.
And then suddenly Lou was worried.
"You should never be here, Prince! It is very dangerous. The King of the Crystal Palace might already know you are here," Lou said.
"No! I will defend myself! I will take revenge for my mother's sake!" Philippe replied.
"You cannot defeat them. I have already tried many times. We must train more before facing them. For now, we must stay hidden."
Lou said,
Carina was speechless about what she had heard. She cannot believe it. They have sinned against the royal family of the Atlantix Kingdom. She is sure they will not go unpunished when they return. If they can make it outside the Land of dreams. Carina couldn't sleep, she kept thinking. She went outside and, surprisingly, Prince Philippe was also outside the shrine.
Carina breaks the silence.
"I'm sorry, Philippe. I know words are not enough to ease your pain. What we did to your family deserves punishment." Carina said, sobbing.
"You did nothing wrong, Carina. They forced your Grandpa to do it. He said while tapping Carina's shoulder.
What we need to do is to avenge my mother against the Crystal Kingdom, " Philippe said while tightening his grip.
"Me and my Grandpa will help you. We will make sure they will pay." Carina said.
"It's already late. Let's go inside." Philippe said.
"Okay," Carina replied.
TRAINING WITH MASTER LOU DAY 1
Early in the morning, the three gathered in a circle. Master Lou is training them with basic techniques.
"First, you need to learn how to meditate. Concentrate and take your thoughts away from your head." Lou said.
Carina seemed to be distracted.
"Carina, you need to concentrate," Lou said.
"I'm sorry Grandpa," Carina replied.
"Great, now that you have mastered it. It's time to learn karate. Magic is not enough to fight the enemy." Lou said.
They stand up and they watch while Master Lou is doing his karate moves.
"The first step is to learn the straight punch, Choku Zuki in Japanese, " Master Lou said.
"To start, you must make a fist, which you do by folding your fingers (excluding your thumb) down so that the pads of your fingertips touch the joint where your fingers meet your palm. Next, bend your knuckles at the base of your fingers to tuck your fingers into your palm. Lastly, tuck your thumb between the first and second knuckles of your fingers. Do not tuck your thumb inside of your fingers, or you may break it on contact. Now you have formed a punch!
When you throw your punch, you always want to strike with the pointer and middle finger knuckles at the base of your fingers. This is the strongest part of your hand and will keep you from fracturing your fingers or the bones in your hand." said Master Lou.
Carina carefully followed all the steps that her Grandpa taught her. She wants to be well prepared before going to a battle.
Philippe was also focusing on the training. He needs to be trained well enough to face his enemy. Surely, his enemy is super strong. They managed to transform her mother's power into crystal. Which is also the main reason why the portal is very powerful.
Master Lou continues to teach them different techniques in karate.
"Tomorrow I will teach you how to control your powers. A great power requires great self-control. If you cannot do that, you will lose to your opponent," Master Lou said.
They bowed and said "Yes, master!"
"Dismissed." Master Lou commanded.
THE NEXT DAY
"The first step to controlling your powers is to concentrate and let the power show from within.'' Master Lou said.
Carina and Philippe tried hard to get the power out, and Master Lou said ''Don't force it to get it out. The power will possess you if you force it.''
Carina took deep breaths to calm herself down, and Philippe copied her.
After 20 minutes, they were learning how to control and get their power going in and out.
Master Lou said ''Ok now, let's take a break.''
Carina drank a lot of water, but her grandpa didn't allow it.
''You will take a lesson later on about how to blast your powers quickly. That means allowing a lot of movement. So don't take too much.'' Master Lou said.
Philippe was quick at getting his power out, but not blasting his powers quickly.
''Practice more Philippe.'' Master Lou said.
And then, while they were practicing, they were attacked by an army!
Good thing they were now prepared, they defeated the army easily.
But one soldier was still alive and escaped.
He told Queen Olivia and she said ''What?!?! Lou was still alive?! Soldiers, in every army, attack! But remember soldiers, don't kill Prince Philippe.''
Minutes Later..
''Yes.. we have arrived.'' One soldier said.
''But be quiet..'' Another soldier added.
''Attack them!!!'' The soldier leader command them.
Philippe positioned and ready to fight the soldiers. He used the rainbow power blast to attack the soldiers.
There are still many of them. There are aroung 1000 soldiers at the place. Master Lou and Carina handled the rest. Master Lou managed to asked one soldier who sent them.
"Who sent you?" Master Lou asked.
The soldier replied, gasping for air. "Qqueeen.... Oli..via..." after that the soldier died.
"Grandpa, who is Queen Olivia?" Carina asked.
"She was the queen in Crystal Kingdom, the one who forced me to kill Philippe's mother." Master Lou looked pissed.
"They will regret this!" Philippe said.
Carina dodges and attacked using the big purple fairy dust power that defeated 100 soldiers.
Master Lou uses the giga phychokinesis to lure the 500 soldiers to the sea and drowed them.
Master Lou was almost passed out, good thing Master Lou teached Carina the healing fairy power.
She quickly put some on Master Lou and he was alive.
Philippe helped and used the mega power and defeated 400 soldiers.
