By the time Sofia and the others catch up, the pair's recklessness has cost them their chance to stop them at the bridge. Nitelite tells Sofia that flying over sea serpents is a bad idea, which is proven true when the sea serpents spot James and Smokely, and shoot them out of the sky with water. James and Smokely take off to stop the sea monsters at the bridge. Instead, he wants to fly there on Smokelee who, much like James, tends to get so caught up in the heat of the moment that he forgets to think things through. James agrees to the bridge burning idea, but refuses to take the tunnel. Once there, they can stop them by burning down the bridge. He tells Sofia and James they must take the tunnel that leads to the bridge, where they can intercept the Sea Monsters. Flambeau identifies their leader, Aqualina, as an old enemy of Everburn. Flambeau and his group come out and greet them. He tries to stop them by ordering them, forcing Sofia to save him from getting stomped over. However, James runs onto the trail, and unwittingly shows the sea serpents which way to go. Sofia decides they should go and warn Everburn by sneaking up the trail to his cave, which is also where the Eternal Torch is. They come onto dry land and begin looking for the trail that leads to the Eternal Torch, which is at the very top of the island. Just then, they spot some lizards in the distance, which Sofia identifies as the sea monsters who have come to claim the island for themselves. Reluctantly, she agrees to let him help, much to his delight. Sofia is far from pleased that her big brother stowed away, but James assures his little sister that he will be a big help. Taking up Sir Finnegan's advice, James chose to accompany her so he could practice his knight skills. Sofia arrives at the Blazing Palisades and, upon landing, discovers James in the trunk. Unaware of this, Sofia gives the horse his snack and takes off for the Blazing Palisades. While she is getting the horse a snack, James climbs inside the trunk on the carriage. As Sofia hitches one of the flying horses up to a coach, James overhears her talking to the horse about her plans. To give this story a happy ending, Sofia must journey back to the Blazing Palisades and stop the sea serpents from taking over the island. As the story goes, the Sea Monsters want to claim the Palisades for themselves, and intend to replace the Eternal Torch with the Forever Fountain, whose magical waters could drown out the island's fires and chase the dragons away. The book goes inside the pendulum and the narrator proceeds to tell her latest story about the dragons who live on the Blazing Palisades and how their island home is under threat by sea monsters. It is time to go to the Secret Library.Īfter Sofia arrives, the Library selects a book called The Tale of the Eternal Torch. Sofia feels sorry for James, but then suddenly her Amulet starts to glow blue. All he needs is more practice, not just on the course but in the real world as well by going on an adventure. Both Roland and Finnegan tell him that he still did well for his first time and can always try again. When Sir Finnegan informs him that he failed the test, James protests because he was not expecting to get caught in the mud, only for Sir Finnegan to tell him that he should have looked before he leaped. This slows him down and he fails to cross the finish line in time. This proves to be a mistake, for once he is over the wall he lands in a mud puddle. At first, James does an outstanding job, but when he gets to the wall, he meets his downfall: Instead of climbing over the wall with a ladder, he pole vaults over it with a staff. At the Castle, Prince James is taking his Junior Knight test in the courtyard under Sir Finnegan's supervision.
