Once upon a time, in a far away palace in China, there lived a young and lonely emperor named Rintoo. Rintoo was a tiger.
He was sad because he had to face some duties as the emperor. And sometimes, he was shy.
He wished that he could find something that would make him happy.

One day, Emperor Rintoo was riding on his horse down the woods and he came upon a dark castle filled with thunder and lightning.
Not wanting to let his kingdom fall into the hands of darkness, Emperor Rintoo decided to be brave and check it out.
So he yanked on the reins and he and his horse took off.

When they reached the dark castle, Emperor Rintoo dismounted his horse and went inside.
The rooms were dark and spooky, but Emperor Rintoo wasn't afraid. He wanted to see what was going on.
He searched room after room while going up the stairs. Then, when he opened the door of one room, he sees a princess lying in bed under a sleeping spell.
Emperor Rintoo was surprised. He had never seen someone so beautiful in all his life.
Emperor Rintoo tiptoed into the room and looked at the princess.
He smiled and then gave her a kiss. To his surprise, the princess woke up. She was amazed to see someone so handsome.
"Hi," she said, "what's your name?"
"I'm Emperor Rintoo, I live in a far away palace," said Emperor Rintoo. "What's yours?"
"Kai-Lan," said the princess, "granddaughter of the king on the other kingdom."
"So why were you under a sleeping spell in this dark castle?" the emperor asked.
"This dark castle is the home of the dragon king," said Princess Kai-Lan. "He kidnapped me and killed my grandfather."
"Hmm, seems to me that we got to get out of here and take you to safety," said Emperor Rintoo.
Princess Kai-Lan was happy to hear those words so she ran and gave the emperor a hug and she said, "I love you."
Emperor Rintoo was surprised to hear what Princess Kai-Lan said, so he smiled and said, "I love you, too." And they shared a kiss.


But as soon as they got out of the castle, a terrible roar was heard. It's the dragon king. He was very angry that Emperor Rintoo had came to rescue Princess Kai-Lan.
"Now shall you deal with me o emperor," the dragon king snarled, "and all the powers of hell!"

"You won't hurt anyone again, like you did to the princess' grandfather! And you won't take her again!" shouted Emperor Rintoo.
He hopped on his horse and pulled out his sword and the horse ran around the dragon king.
The dragon king tried to shoot out flames from his mouth, but the horse was too quick.
Emperor Rintoo took out his shield and hopped off his horse.

The dragon king tried to shoot out another flame, but the emperor used the shield to block the flames.
Princess Kai-Lan was amazed to see Emperor Rintoo so brave.
The emperor and the dragon king battled for almost an hour.
Then the emperor held up his sword up high and called, "Thou magic sword, energize, fly swift and sure, that evil die and good endure!"

The sword beamed with light. "This one's for your grandfather, Princess Kai-Lan!" he called to the princess.
With one final toss, Emperor Rintoo threw his sword directly into the dragon king’s heart. The dragon king roared in pain and then dies by turning into ashes.
But the ground began to shake, the dark castle was starting to collapse. Emperor Rintoo picked up his sword and hopped onto his horse and rushed to Princess Kai-Lan who hopped onto his horse too. Together they darted out of the castle grounds just in time before the dark castle disintegrated into pieces.

After watching the dark castle collapse, Princess Kai-Lan hugged Emperor Rintoo and said, "Thank you for saving me, Emperor Rintoo."
Emperor Rintoo began to blush. Finally, he said to the princess, "Princess Kai-Lan, I can't carry on my duties, alone."
Then he kneeled down and asked, "Will you marry me and be my empress?"

Princess Kai-Lan replied with a big smile on her face, "Of course, I will."

The whole kingdom celebrated the wedding.

Some of Emperor Rintoo's friends attended the wedding. King Tolee and Queen Lulu from the kingdom of Pandaland, and Hoho the Monkey King.
Empress Kai-Lan's brother, Xiongdi attended the wedding too. Since his grandfather's death, Xiongdi had inherited the throne and became king.
Emperor Rintoo looks at Empress Kai-Lan with a big smile on his face. "Your grandfather would be very proud of you."


A year later, the emperor and empress gave birth to a child, a boy.


Emperor Rintoo had never been so happy for all his life. Thanks to Empress Kai-Lan and their son, he was no longer alone. And they lived happily ever after.
