Carmine got to work contacting his old entourage who worked for the Enchantra High Commission (EHC), and asked them to search their database for any Enchanted criminals with power to enslave people with butterflies.

Meanwhile, Gabby and Qui-Gon travelled to the planet Aurelia with Carousella, Peppermint, and Master Plo, who was a great pilot who didn't crash ships. According to Boba, the woman he saw enslaving his family in the vision enslaved them all at the same time, so their best bet for the moment was to remain apart until they learned how to defeat her.

Gabby looked at a book about the kingdom of Solaris, which held a picture of the royal family's old castle. It was built with white bricks and had a dome and towers of gold and diamond crystals.

"Wow, Solaris used to be so beautiful." Gabby said.

"And it can be once again," said Qui-Gon. "But first we must uncover the secrets of our ancestral kingdom's enemies."

Carousella went to check on the navigation and confirmed they would be arriving very soon.

"You are certain the coordinates were correct, Carousella?" Plo asked Carousella once more.

"Absolutely." Carousella nodded. "Princess Abigail's parents know navigation of ancient and new kingdoms better than anyone on Aurelia. Solaris was a neighboring kingdom to theirs, and thus they held the best source of information."

"Remember," said Peppermint. "We equines are born with a natural sense of direction. And together we'll find the answers we need."

"Hopefully by now, Carmine will have found out something about this butterfly woman that will be helpful." Obi-Wan said.

"I wouldn't have guessed butterflies could be used for something so scary." Gabby said.

"Most would not believe adorable little girls could create serious damage on their own." Qui-Gon tapped his granddaughter's nose. "Do you recall the time you turned the Temple into an ice rink?"

Gabby laughed as she recalled. "Touche, Grandfather."

"We are landing at our destination." Plo announced. "Everyone be prepared to land."

The ship soon came in for a landing on what appeared to be a field of grass.

The horses were first to exit. Qui-Gon carried Gabby out of the ship with the other adults following.

Everyone looked around and saw that plants were starting to grow in what looked like it used to be just plain dirt and dead land. And when Gabby stepped on the ground, more grasses began to grow.

"Whoa. Look at all this." the child gasped. She touched a dead tree, and it sprouted to life with beautiful blossoms.

"It appears now that members of the royal family have returned here, it has strengthened the restoration magic of the kingdom." Obi-Wan hypothesized. "And it may depend on the type of magic one holds."

"But it does not look like we have any effect on the structural foundations of this kingdom." Qui-Gon said, noticing what looked like a damaged playground.

The playground looked like a tornado had hit it, and so did the village the group passed through. There were no people around, but a few critters did pass through occasionally. Namely a couple birds and squirrels. And a cute little chipmunk.

Gabby looked in her Solaris culture and history book.

"According to this, Solaris's most sacred animals were blue jays, which represent loyalty and empathy, butterflies for hope, and the alicorn for freedom and spirit." Gabby said. "And back in the days of Queen Serafina and King Reginald, they had a loyal steed named Majesty, who was sent for Reginald when he was a young prince from Equinaro's Ride of Love Ceremony."
