Sofia the First S4 E2

## Plot

James is taking his Junior Knight test. Sofia, Miranda, and Roland are cheering him on. He's doing really well. However, he uses a pole to vault over a wall, and lands in mud. It slows him down, and he doesn't finish before time is up. His instructor tells him that, unfortunately, he failed. The ladder would've been the wiser choice, so he could see that there was mud on the other side. He can always take the test again though. His instructor tells him to keep practicing, and go on an adventure to test his skills in the real world. Sofia's amulet summons her to the Secret Library. It gives her the book "The Tale of the Eternal Torch." To the dragons that live in the Blazing Palisades, their fiery home is paradise. Inside the tallest mountain, the Eternal Torch lights all the fires on the island. However, it's in danger. The sea monsters that live in the water surrounding the Palisades believe that the Palisades should belong to them. They have the magical Forever Fountain, which would replace the fires with water, and drive out the dragons already living there. Sofia takes a carriage there. Why isn't she taking Minimus? James is sulking nearby and hears her talking about dragons and adventure. He decides to hide in the trunk. When they land, James makes a lot of noise, and Sofia sees that he stowed away in the back. She's mad at him, but he says he'll be a big help, and it's too late to take him back anyways. He doesn't think before he acts though. He inadvertently shows the sea monsters the way to the top. He and Sofia meet the other dragons, and tell them about the sea monsters. There's a bridge on the trail that the sea monsters will have to cross, and they can take it out and get there first by taking secret tunnels. James says that's not very knight like, and flies over them instead. The leader of the sea monsters, Aqualina, orders them to shoot James and his dragon out of the sky, which they do. Sofia and the other dragons check on them, and see that the sea monsters already made it across the bridge. They reprimand James and his dragon. The sea monsters are slower on land though. They take the tunnels to warn Everburn. They tell him what's going on, and he explains that the dragons and sea monsters have always been feuding. They get ready to fight, and Everburn tells Sofia and James to stay out of harm's way and keep watch. They sing, because of course they do, but it's getting them nowhere. Sofia wonders if they can resolve this peacefully. The dragons build a rock wall to block the sea monsters off. However, James rolls a giant rock down, because he's tired of sitting on the sidelines, and thinks it'd be better than a bunch of small ones. It takes out the wall though, and sends the dragons flying. Aqualina pulls out the Eternal Torch and replaces it with the Forever Fountain. This turns the Blazing Palisades into the Watery Palisades. The dragons, Sofia, and James are pushed out into the ocean. Sofia reminds James to look before he leaps. He can't rush into things, because that's what's gotten them into trouble. He comes up with a plan. The sea monsters see a fire coming out of a geyser, and go down to check it out. Sofia and James head up. The dragons are under the geysers, shooting fire to distract the sea monsters. Sofia and James put the Eternal Torch back, on top of the Forever Fountain. This combines the fire and water. The top half of the Palisades is fire, and the bottom half is water. This wasn't part of the plan, but it worked out well. There's such a pretty rainbow! The dragons and sea monsters end their feud, and now they can both live there. The island is now known as the Misty Palisades. James takes his test again, and passes it. He's made a Junior Knight.
