Synopsis
In the mystical city of Camelot, William is an optimistic knight-in-training who is devoted to his mentor, knight in gleaming armor, Sir Roderick. The complication starts when the evil Duke of Amaraxos shrinks Princess Gwendolyn and takes over the kingdom, so the friends accompanied with Elspeth, an apprentice sorceress and Xiao Long, a young sage-in-training from distant Asia, set off on an adventure to undo the terrible curse.

Characters

 * William- He wants to be a knight and has made many current inventions. He's Elspeth's younger brother. He is 11 years old but despite his young age he is very intelligent, the brain of the group. He is Sir Roderick's squire and apprentice.
 * Sir Roderick- A knight and boyfriend of Princess Gwen. He is very dumb, naughty, and often creates problems which puts the team in unnecessary trouble and danger.
 * Princess Gwendolyn- is a deposed princess who has been reduced to the size of a doll by the Duke and Rex. Despite her size, she is capable of taking down opponents bigger than herself. In season 2, she was finally restored to original size whey they used the crystal and I prevented Sir Roderick from hugging Gwendolyn too tight. Now her size is back to normal.
 * Elspeth- a redhead apprentice magician. She wields the Great Book of Magic that the Duke used to shrink Gwendolyn which she now uses to help the team in their search for the Crystal. She is William's older sister, and they both speak with English accents. In season 2, I saw Elspeth turn Gwens size back and I prevented Sir Roderick from hugging Gwendolyn too tight then the book nearly got lost but I saved the Great Book of Magic by catching it jumping up the highest.
 * Xiao Long- A young Chinese boy and the most gifted of the pack, is a martial arts expert and a sage-in-training. He can cook well. In the second series, he is revealed that the ghost of his grandfather was the one who gives clues to the team on where the Crystal of Gawayn is. He is included in the series to increase appeal among Asian audiences.
 * The Duke- enemy of the team. It was he who shrunk Gwendolyn to usurp the throne from her. He is a failure. Even though he is angry, he can show his heart to his pet and cockroach friend Rex. Together with him, he watches the team on his personal viewing stone which he uses to thwart the Questers' efforts at every turn.
 * Rex - The Duke's friend and pet; cockroach. He seems cruel, but he is kind at times and tries to console the Duke. He has known him from childhood. Even though Duke is a loser, he likes him because he looks after him and they spend time together.
