Night had fallen, and everything was peace and quiet in The Magic Kingdom. The gypsies had gathered in Fantasyland, where they had a lovely dinner together, before they went to rest. The campfire had been put out for the night, and everywhere in the camp, there were sleeping children, women and men. Only the guards were awake. Centuries of persecutions had taught the gypsy people to be cautious to the greatest danger of them all: Man.
In the darkness there was the sound of galopping hooves as a tiny goat hurried over the night-dark paths as fast as his four legs could carry him. He was followed by a tall, beautiful gypsy girl, at the moment wrapped in a hooded dark cloak covering her clothes. She was running through the darkness so fast her bare feet barely touched the ground.
This girl was Esmeralda, the gypsy princess. She had recently been warned that evil forces wanted to arrest and execute her beloved people. Now she was hurrying through the park to warn the gypsies about the soldiers before it was too late.

Goliath soared above the parks, keeping a close eye on Esmeralda and Djali as they raced through the sidewalks. They had to get to the gypsies before Frollo's soldiers did.
Goliath looked ahead. Esmeralda wasn't too far from their destination. A group of gypsies were singing and dancing around a large fire. And several miles further, the soldiers were approaching.
"Esmeralda!" Goliath called. "Hurry, the soldiers are coming!"
Goliath soared on ahead. He could fight off the soldiers and buy Esmeralda some time.

Esmeralda heard Goliath's voice calling from above her head, warning her about the soldiers. She blessed him for being on her side in this fight, and for his gentle heart. Elisa had made a wise choice of husband, and Esmeralda hoped they would be happy together.
Finally she arrived the camp, and she called out to the guards by the fireplace.
"Get on your feet, wake everyone up! Frollo's soldiers are coming! Sound the alarm. We must make haste. Gather all women and children and follow me to The Court of Miracles!"
The sound of her voice caused the gypsies to wake up from their sleep. In only moments every thing that could give away that the gypsies had been here was packed, hidden or thrown away.
The camp was now sounding of cries from frightened children, and the hushing sounds of terrified women trying to comfort their children. Esmeralda gathered them and spoke to them.
"Frollo's soldiers are on their way here to kill us all. We are here to lead you to safety. Please follow me, and don't ask questions. There will be time to ask later."
Esmeralda picked up a tiny child and started walking. Most of her people followed her into the shadows. Right then there was the sounds of galloping hooves against the cobblestones. The soldiers had arrived.
