Line 57:
Meanwhile, Jim's locomotive Molly, whom Jim and Luke had left at the cliffs when getting Mr. Tur Tur and Nepomuk, has been abducted by the band of pirates called the Wild 13. Luckily for Jim and Luke, the former Mrs. Grindtooth awakes as a Golden Dragon of Wisdom in Mandala, helping them out with information and telling Jim how to find out about his origin. With the help of the Emperor, Jim and Luke – and Princess {{nowrap|Li Si}} as a stowaway – start their journey to meet the {{nowrap|Wild 13}} and rescue Molly. They encounter the pirates, who prove too much for them in battle. Molly is lost at sea, and all but Jim are captured and brought to the pirates' base, Castle Stormeye, a pinnacle of rock within the eye of a perpetual hurricane.
Unseen, Jim manages to sneak into the pirates' fortress, overpower them with a trick and some luck, and become their leader. As it turns out, Jim is the last descendant of Caspar, the third of the [[Three Kings]], whose heirs were doomed to remain homeless after Mrs. Grindtooth had sunk their kingdom beneath the ocean millennia ago. Only the sinking of Castle Stormeye will raise it back to the surface. In the end, the {{nowrap|Wild 13}} sacrifice their fortress, Jim's old kingdom reappears – and to everyone's surprise, Morrowland
All the families whose children Jim and Luke had rescued from the Dragon City come to live in the new country. Jim marries {{nowrap|Li Si}} and receives Molly from the merpeople, her iron frame transformed into the Crystal of Eternity. The {{nowrap|Wild 13}}, reformed by their sacrifice, remain in Jim's kingdom as its protectors and royal guards. {{nowrap|Mr. Tur Tur}}, meanwhile, goes to live on Morrowland as the world's largest lighthouse.
