Take Me To Pocketville

We get to see a few indoor areas of the castle, with three in particular looking very interesting. That being the throne room, Ava’s bedroom, and the kitchen.

They’re all quite detailed just like the castle’s exterior, with the throne room even having a high ceiling since it is the main room of the building after all. Where the monarch and the Royal Guards supposedly have their meetings. The heart themed furniture in Ava’s bedroom is adorable, especially the bookshelf. The kitchen also stands out because of its green walls. I will admit I wish there was something else in the wall behind the thrones rather than just a painting of the castle and the fountain, like perhaps a heraldry or something, and the paintings being of other Siamese cats rather than random dogs and kids, both of which would keep people wondering about a potential royal family of the Pocket Kingdom and therefore ponder about a backstory for Ava and Eva (since we barely got one in the show if any at all).

However, one area I’m not a fan of is the corridor. Or corridors, rather.

No windows, very little lighting, no decorations, and a very washed out color of walls. It makes sense for it to be an underground passage like in the third episode, “Evershell the Wise”, where Kate and her friends find a secret passageway that leads far outside the castle’s premises, but we also see the same kind of corridor used as the one leading to the throne room in episode “Heads Up”. Shouldn’t there be like a fancy antechamber or something that leads to one of the most important rooms of the castle along with a more decorated hallway?

We do end up seeing this view from Ava’s bedroom showing a more decorated, almost baroque style corridor that looks more like the bedroom itself with the yellow walls and such. But we don’t actually get to see any scenes that take place exactly in it.

Sometimes I wonder what other rooms the castle could have, especially since we only saw very little of what looks like a huge castle. Of course, I have my AU to work on that I can include more rooms, like the drawing rooms often found in real life palaces/castles along with more important rooms like an armory and more bedrooms since I’m also giving Ava and Eva more family members and such.

Amalthea, a powerful princess from an ancient noble family of Faelicour, escaped into the fields on a cold winter’s night after being told by her mother to flee the city when it was attacked by a demon army. As she was at the brink of losing all hope, she prayed to the celestials that she may have the strength and courage to save what’s left of her people and home.

She woke up, inside one of a nearby and untouched village’s houses, to hear a distant rumbling noise, and outside the window was a glowing, bright red meteor zipping through the night sky. She carefully looked to see where it may land, and it wasn’t long until she felt the vibrations of the impact that was not far from where the village stood.

Not long after, some of the villagers would go out into the cold and cautiously approach the fallen meteorite out in the fields, with Amalthea following them. What she would find amongst the space rock is a glowing red ruby-like jewel perfectly carved in the shape of a heart. As some of them murmured in curiosity about the jewel embedded in the meteorite, with some of them attempting to pry the jewel out of the rock to no avail, she stepped forward to inspect it.

As Amalthea placed her paw on the jewel, it seemed to glow brighter once it made contact with her paw. She then tried and take the jewel from the meteorite, which would prove a success. The jewel let out a magical shockwave that nearly knocked Amalthea over, as well as melting the rest of the surrounding snow and causing flowers to rapidly grow all over the grass. She felt newfound magic surge through her body as well. The village leader had proclaimed, “O, the Gods have chosen this young lady to disperse the evil with her pure heart, to become that very beacon for all of us to follow, to rule with kindness, peace, and goodwill.”

Feeling a new sense of the very strength and courage Amalthea had prayed for, she stood up with confidence, clutching the jewel to her chest and saying, “We must gather all those who are strong enough and wish for the turmoil to end, to save our lands from this great evil. We must prepare to head to the city to vanquish those demons once and for all.”

Of course, there was a huge battle in the field not far from the ruined city. Amalthea, along with surviving nobles and brave commoners who have trained well to fight such beasts, defeated the powerful demon army with the jewel proving a great help. She used this jewel to banish the leader of the demon army back into the netherworld. After defeating the demons, many of the creatures would catch sight of Amalthea with the jewel next to the sunrise, immediately seeing her as the one who shall be their new queen of a new era.

Amalthea entered the ruins of the city and eventually what was once the palace. She then learned that her immediate family sadly did not survive the siege, and had perished not long after she fled. She weeped underneath the only tree in the garden that had survived— a lone sycamore— knowing that she couldn’t save them. Her tears mixed with the flowing magic from the jewel, which caused something magical and grand to happen. What had magically materialised right before her eyes was a palace even bigger and grander than her old home, and with that, a fountain in the middle of the front garden and new, young saplings and flowers growing all over. But most of all, the jewel gently pulsated next to her chest as she was telepathically told: that her family will always be in her heart.

Not long after much of the city was rebuilt and Amalthea settles in the new palace would she appoint new people to work in it, with many becoming part of her inner circle. They worked hard to both help establish a new nation and make preparations for Amalthea to become the first Queen of their new nation, which they had named Faenima. A brand new collar was made to hold the jewel, decorated in symbols important to Amalthea and the folk belief of these creatures. And so, on the first day of spring, she was eventually crowned as Queen Amalthea d’Aulicor, Queen of Faenima.
