Gold Volcano

The **Gold Volcano** is a golden volcano that appears in the feature film, *The Enchanted Pup.* It is a magical volcano that housed the Council of Elements when they went into hiding. The spirits were the only ones who knew the truth behind Wolfgang's rise to power leading Hansel to find them and discover the truth in order to free EverRealm.

## Background

The Gold Volcano was used as a training center for rising Fire Spirits. Phoenix resided in the volcano until she married Harrison Stone and had a son with him, prompting her to quit her job as a trainer and move out of the volcano so she could live in the capital with her family. Years later, when Wolfgang was crowned the new king of EverRealm after Blacktail's death, he established an anti-magic law that forbade EverRealmians from using their magic or be executed as punishment. Being an elemental, Phoenix would be unable to control her magic thus putting herself in danger. To protect herself and her family from Wolfgang, she faked her death and went into hiding. Phoenix encountered her elemental colleagues who were looking for a home. She decided to move back into her old home and she invited her colleagues to move in with her.

In the present day, after experimenting with their magic for twenty years, the Elements were visited by Zeus of Mount Olympus who warned them of a threat that will destroy the universe if not stopped in time. The elements believed they could stop it themselves but Zeus said in order for them to stop the threat and save the universe, they're going to need help from an EverRealmian with the most powerful magic that could not only save the universe but restore power and balance to the universe. The council then got to work with finding the powerful spirit whom they eventually identified as Hansel, a member of the Pup Family and future king of EverRealm who was forced out of his home for his own safety.

## Appearances

### *The Enchanted Pup*

After surviving a drowning, Hansel, Buzzy and Bradley headed over to the Gold Volcano after the others were captured and imprisoned by Wolfgang. Upon entering, Hansel heads into the training room where he spots Rocky creating a self-sculpture with help from Zephyr's wind magic. He announces his presence and introduces himself as the Enchanted Pup, claiming that the Wind Spirit sent him a message to come EverRealm. Bradley recognizes the fire spirit as his mother. She and Bradley happily embrace each other. While she was reconnecting with her son, the water spirit and council chief, Beckham gives Hansel a tour of the volcano telling him about his origins. During the tour, Hansel asked Beckham why did the council choose him. He simply replied because he's royalty but Hansel claims that it's more than that. Beckham then reveals that he's Hansel's cousin but not biologically, it's that the elements water and ice are connected to each other, thus making the two dogs related. Hansel then asked Beckham why Wolfgang banned magic.

By combining their magic, Hansel watches a vision of Wolfgang murdering his stepbrother, the King and his wife, the Queen in order to gain complete and total control of the kingdom. As king, he could enforce the anti-magic law and execute EverRealmians who broke the law. Hansel asks the spirits to go back further so he could learn what made a murderer, a traitor and a fraud. While rewinding the vision, Hansel saw his father, Robert and Wolfgang together at Jade and Odin's wedding. It is at that moment that Hansel realizes that his father and Wolfgang are brothers, thus making Wolfgang his uncle and the Oceanmanes his stepfamily. He also learned the reason why the Gods needed Hansel to help battle against the forces of evil, the Pups' magical abilities must be combined together so it'll be powerful enough to defeat Wolfgang. Now having knowledge of Wolfgang's true colors, Hansel prepares to leave the volcano to battle against. As he's walking out of the volcano, he noticed that the elements weren't following him. He asked the council why they weren't following him because they're afraid of standing up to Wolfgang after years of hiding. Hansel comforts them with a song and shows them that there is more to his magic than conjuring up ice and snow. He uses his magic to decorate the volcano with icicles. This inspires the elements to use their magic to decorate the volcano as well. They then learn that their magic can bring beauty and joy to others rather than protection.

The council experiences a change of heart and decides to leave the volcano to help Hansel defeat Wolfgang. After the events of the film, the council abandons the volcano to live in the palace with Hansel and the Pups.

### *The Enchanted Pup 2*

In the sequel, the Gold Volcano is seen from a distance as Hansel is flying out of EverRealm with the Greek God, Apollo.
