Sofia the First S3 E21

## Plot

After the events of the last special, the title card has been changed to pink, and so has Sofia's dress and amulet. She's flying around on Minimus when her amulet glows blue, signaling that she has to visit the Secret Library yet again. Once she's there, she's given a book called "The Tale of the Noble Knight." In the kingdom of Brazendell, dragons live in the mountains, and people live in the villages. The two have always been at peace. Until one day, for reasons unknown, the dragons started setting fires. The king said that whoever could stop the dragons would be made First Knight, leader of all knights. Oliver, the strongest knight in the land, vowed to defeat the dragons and become First Knight. He has to find the magical ice fire shield, which can freeze dragon fire. It can only be found by following a trail of riddles and clues. A rival knight named Sir Jaxon also wants the ice fire shield, so he decided to trap Sir Oliver. Sofia worries what Jaxon could want with the shield. In order for the kingdom to be safe, it's paramount that the most noble knight gets the shield. But in Brazendell, things aren't always as they seem. Sofia and Minimus run into dragons, and they hide under a rock. They head towards the tower from the book. They see Sir Oliver heading there too. Sofia knows it's him because he looks like a noble knight. She tells Minimus that noble means being honest, brave, and kind. Sir Oliver said he's getting the shield to protect people from dragons. They land in front of him and his horse to warn him about Sir Jaxon and help him get the ice fire shield. However, Oliver is very arrogant, brags about himself a lot, and doesn't think he needs Sofia's help. There's a trap right in front of the tower, which Sofia points out, but he says he'd spot one from a mile away. He steps on it, and is thrown into the tower. Sofia comes in, and Oliver demands that she let him out. She does, and they see that Sir Jaxon is there. The trap is his, and he says he can't let Oliver get the shield. They sword fight, and Oliver disarms Jaxon. Surprisingly, Jaxon compliments him for that, saying that a true knight needs no sword. They keep fighting, and Jaxon retrieves his sword. He says that dragons aren't really dangerous. Sofia just wants them to stop fighting, and doesn't know who to believe. And therefore, who to help. Jaxon asks why he'd lie, and Oliver asks him why wouldn't he lie. Jaxon disarms Oliver this time. Sofia asks them to put their swords down and talk this out. Oliver offers his hand in a truce, and Jaxon takes it. It was a dirty trick though, and Oliver traps Jaxon. Sofia is appalled that Oliver would do something like that. He claims that he'd say anything to save her from Jaxon. It's said that the ice fire shield is hidden somewhere in the room. Jaxon couldn't find it. Sofia finds a stained glass window behind a painting. There's something written on the window: "If the shield you want to hold, look through here to find a rock of gold." It's a clue to help them find the real shield. There's a giant gold rock on a hill. Sofia isn't okay with leaving Jaxon trapped in the tower, but Oliver is more than happy to. She decides to let him out after they find the shield. She and Minimus don't like Oliver very much. She still thinks he's a noble knight though. They see something carved into the rock. It's a picture of the ice fire shield, and an inscription. "If you wish to find the shield, look through the hole this one does yield." Sofia finds a hole, and looks through it. She sees a cave shaped like a shield across the valley. They see that Sir Jaxon has escaped from the tower. He's very resourceful. Oliver is going to open a dam and flood the land. Sofia worries that there could be a village nearby, but he tells her that the nearest village is miles away, and the water would never reach it. If the dam is opened, Sir Jaxon could drown, especially since he's wearing armor. Oliver thinks he'll be fine though. Jaxon says that it's the dragons that need protecting, from the likes of people like him. Oliver opens the dam. Jaxon runs, and Sofia saves him. Oliver heads to the cave. Jaxon thanks Sofia for saving him, but she says that she can't let him stop Oliver from getting the shield. They're approached by dragons. Jaxon says that there's no reason to fear them. The dragons don't want to hurt them. They saw the floodgates open and came to offer their help. The big orange female dragon's name is Willawing. Jaxon is old friends with them. Sofia mentions them setting fires everywhere. Jaxon tells her that they only breathe fire to protect themselves. Sir Oliver keeps trying to drive them away, so they have no choice but to defend themselves with fires. Oliver wants them to start fires, so people will think that dragons are dangerous, and he can stop them and look like a big hero. He wants the king to make him First Knight. Sir Jaxon is really the noble knight. Sofia is really supposed to be helping him. If Oliver gets the shield, he'll drive the dragons away for good. They all head to the cave. However, they're too late. Sir Oliver has the shield. Willawing breathes fire at it, but it turns to ice. Jaxon throws ice at Oliver, and takes his sword. While he tries to get it back, Sofia takes the shield from him. The king arrives, having seen the fire from the castle. He asks Jaxon what trouble he's causing this time. Sofia tells him the truth. The king gives the shield to Sir Jaxon, because he's the most noble knight in the land. He tried to help the dragons, even when it made life harder for himself. He's made First Knight of the Realm. Sir Oliver is banished from Brazendell. He says that they haven't heard the last of him. Sir Jaxon promises to only use the ice fire shield to protect others.
