Elsa awoke from her sleep among flowers and the sounds of birds. She stretched, sat down and began to look around. Everything was green and everywhere was filled with flowers. "What a beautiful place it is!" she thought.

Then She suddenly startled. She didn't know this place. "How did I get here?" he didn't remember. Elsa thought and thought. She was even more frightened. She looked around, but there was no one around.

She thought she should find the her house. She began to follow the path.

Elsa went a little further and saw a Princess. They exchanged greetings.

Elsa : Can you help me?

Princess: What is the problem?

Elsa : I'm trying to find the house.

Princess : Where do you live?

Elsa : I don't know where my house is, but there was a very big tree nearby.

Princess: I get it. There's a Musa Tree nearby, let's go and take a look.

Elsa:Yummy, apples look great, we've come a long way, that will make us very happy.While eating the apples, they have talked and rested. Farmer: Now tell me, what was there near your house?

Elsa was very upset. By looking at the dragon, she said I would find a solution by myself. And after thanking, she said goodbye to dragon. Elsa walked and walked for long hours in the wood. Then, all of a sudden, a witch who is so ugly appeared. Elsa: I am shocked. Who are you? Witch: While looking at my magic ball, I saw in there. Do you look for your house? Elsa: Yes, I'm so hopeless. Can you help me? Witch: I'll try. Now, tell me some details about your home.

Elsa: As I remember, there was a castle close to my house. Witch: Can it be Snake Castle? Let me take you there. Then two of them sat on witch's broom and flew far away together. As they approached to the Snake Castle, they landed on a steep rock. It was a castle far away from the main road 3 km. It had an iron gate facing south. Witch: There aren't any houses near castle. I think your home isn't here. I'm sorry. I couldn't help you. If u want, we can look at the magic ball one more time. Elsa: Yes, please. Let's look.

Just then, the Witch's magic ball began to turn blue. The Smurfs who came out of the magic ball were very upset about Elsa's situation. Under the leadership of Şirin Baba, they took Elsa to "Atakule" in Ankara, at an altitude of 125 meters. When looking around from this glamorous building, which was built in 1989 for the anniversary of the city's becoming the capital, every part of this beautiful Ankara could be seen. Examining the Anıtkabir, Ankara Castle, Eymir Lake and many other natural and historical beauties, Elsa said "I have never seen such historical and natural beauty together before, I wish I lived in this city", but Elsa still could not find her home.

Elsa examined all those great beauties of Ankara and then she was up against the wall of 'Atakule' and stared into space. Then,she noticed a bald boy on a wooden horse. In a minute, he arrived near Elsa. They had a talk for a while and Elsa told about her story. The bald boy called Keloğlan said: - ' Come with me Elsa, I'll take you away to Troy city.It may be your city.

Elsa thought she had a new chance to find her house and they rode together to Troy city.This city was near the seaside and it was really breathtaking.Keloğlan introduced the city.

- ''Troy' or 'Ilium' is an ancient city in Çanakkale,Turkiye.It's the center of the Trojan War,as told in eight long epic,poems,six from Epic Cycle,and two written by Homer, the IIiad and the Odyssey.' said Keloğlan and told the whole legendary story of the city.

Elsa has come after a long and arduous journey in trying to find her home. She had crossed seas and mountains, she had seen very beautiful places, full of history, but nothing relieved his longing for home. Thoughtfully and wearily, she saw a castle surrounded by thick walls. A guard of the castle appeared in his way. The guard: Hello, little girl! What are you looking for in these places? Elsa: Hello, sir! I got lost. Can you tell me where I am? The guard: This is Bran Castle, located in the Rucăr-Bran passage, near Brașov. Between 1226 and 1388 it was a military defense unit, but later it was modified and transformed into a castle. It is now known as Dracula's Castle. Elsa: I heard about Dracula! I'm starting to get scared! Guard: You don't have to be scared! It's just a legend! Tell me, how can I help you? Elsa: I want to go home! All I can remember was a very big tree next to it. Guard: There are many trees around the castle, but there are no houses. I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I can only give you food and shelter for a few days inside the castle in order to regain your strength. Elsa: Thanks for the hospitality, but I can't stay. Guard: Goodbye, dear Elsa!

Elsa wandered around meaninglessly. She saw some ruins in the distance and thought of resting a bit and maybe she would also find something to eat because she was starving. As he approached those ruins, he saw a charming prince who was very upset. Elsa- Dear prince, what happened are you lost? Can't you find your house? The prince-What a beautiful young lady! Who are you and how do you know I'm a prince? Elsa-Well, I see you're dressed like a prince, and I see that you have a very bright sword full of precious stones. You're lost like me and I am looking for my house I don't know where to go and what to do and I' m very hungry. Is this your castle, dear prince, it doesn't look like one? The prince -This is not my castle, my royal family and I lived in a beautiful castle in the area of these ruins, but I don't know what happened. I think it's the wizard's fault that he's trying to take my father's place at the head of the kingdom. I think he cast a spell on me and the kingdom, turning it into only stones and ruins. Elsa-What can I do to help you? -I can help you if you want, we can go together. Let's look for the wizard and get him to cast the spell. After a few seconds, a wizard appeared dressed all in green and with a cat behind him. Just when she wanted to ask the wizard to bring the palace and his parents back to the prince. The wizard said some magic words like a spell and Elsa disappeared in a matter of seconds away from the prince.

It was like a dream Elsa woke up in front of a very beautiful castle but it was guarded by a very strong knight. A few seconds ago she was next to the prince and suddenly she woke up here. The knight asked Elsa what she was looking for.

Elsa- I want to get home but I can't find my way home. Then she asked the knight why he was guarding an empty castle.

The kight- This was the castle of some wonderful people, the king and queen had a child a very handsome prince but who was enchanted by an evil sorcerer. I'm waiting for them to come back, maybe the spell will break and I don't want anyone to enter this castle. Then Elsa realized that it was about the prince she had met at the ruins and told everything she saw and happened to the knight. Then she realizes how much time she has wasted trying to help others. But she couldn't find her way home.

She told the knight he had to leave, and he offered her some food for the journey…..

Seeing Elsa, who was very upset that she still couldn't find the place she was looking for, the knight asked her another detail about her home, in order to help her. Elsa: She said that there were water sounds near my house, but she did not find her house in Harbiye Waterfall, where she had been before. Knight: The waterfall you are talking about may be inside the Gurs Valley in Mardin. But you have to cross a narrow and bumpy road to get there. However, if you fly, you can arrive more easily. Elsa thanked the knight by summoning the flying dragon. With the flying dragon, Elsa glided over the valley to the waterfall. The dragon told her that the valley at the 7th kilometer of the Mardin-Kızıltepe highway is a favorite of nature lovers with its waterfall and green areas, and that the people come here to cool off. Elsa sadly said that her home was not here either.

Elsa, who got on the flying dragon again and set off, came across a sweet girl named Candy on the way. Candy smiled and offered them marshmallows. Elsa asked Candy that she was looking for her house and if there was a place where she could see the whole of Mardin from above to find it. Candy said that she lives in Old Mardin and that there is a place she mentioned exactly, and that they can go together. Candy and Elsa, riding the flying dragon, climbed a hill called Mardin Castle. Candy said that the people of Mardin call Mardin, which overlooks the plain, a necklace at night and a sight during the day, and that the castle built on the rocks overlooking the city is called the Eagle's Nest. Elsa was fascinated by these magnificent stone houses and the Mesopotamian landscape, but this was a place she had never seen before. Realizing that she could not find her home in this city either, Elsa thanked Candy and left.

Elsa was very upset that she could not find her home. The dragon told him about a princess who had been away from her home for years. Elsa said that princess might help me. The dragon took her to the Maiden's Tower in Istanbul. The princess, who has been living alone in the Maiden's Tower for years, was very happy to see Elsa. The two told each other their own stories. Elsa took some relief when she realized that what she's going through wasn't just happening to her. The princess of the Maiden's Tower hosted Elsa very well. She told her that his father had this tower built to protect him from evil and that he was forbidden to leave this tower. Elsa thought how beautiful the view from the Maiden's Tower was. But despite this, the princess was far from her family. Elsa once again thought that family is the greatest treasure we will ever have in the world. No matter what, she had to keep looking for his family. He left Istanbul with the dragon, saying to the princess, I hope you will reunite with your family.
