Elena bravely faced the sorceress to protect her little sister, Princess Isabel, and grandparents but in the process, the Amulet of Avalor pulled her inside its enchanted jewel, saving her life but imprisoning her at the same time. Decades later, Sofia discovers the truth about the amulet and sets out to restore Elena to her human form and help her return to the Kingdom of Avalor.

 * "(laughing) I'm free! I'm finally free! Whoa! (Sofia: Are you okay?) I'm good. (laughs) I'm good. I guess that's what happens when you're stuck inside an amulet for forty-one years. You forget how to walk. (screams in excitement) I KNEW YOU WERE THE ONE!!! THANK YOU! (Sofia: (choking) You're... welcome!)" - after she was freed from the amulet of Avalor.
