It all starts when her sick mother could not accompany her to the watering hole. She then takes it upon herself to go alone to the dangerous “Chasm of the Mountains”. On the way, she met Kolima, the sorcerer’s daughter, and Ghizarbo the monitor, who were on their way to a village meeting. Curious, she followed them and learned that the king’s son, Prince Dubal, was looking to get married. He was looking for the future princess. Only Doulassi met the recommended criteria. As she would have to return home before sunset, she hurried to fetch water. But Kolima and her sidekick decided to accompany her. Since then, no one has seen her. She vanished into thin air.
