Hundreds of years later, Mirela, a witch and queen of Hasel, read these signs and asked the goblins for help.

The goblin queen gave Mirela a potion of youth and beauty in exchange for access to the world of man for one night a year.

When Urzula (lady Gran) died she left the Stani household with tales of witches and magic from "over-mountain".

An ill-wind disturbs the peaceful land of Maggiar and the wizard, Karoly requests leave to consult with his sister, Ysabel over the mountain.

Lord Stani instructs his two eldest sons, Bogdan and Tamas, and his master huntsman, Nikolai to accompany Karoly.

After a difficult trip over the mountain, they approach a tower, Krukczy Straz where they hope to find shelter, but are ambushed by goblins.

Tamas is separated from the others but is rescued by Ela, a witchling who takes him to her mistress, Ysabel in a neighboring tower, Tajny Straz.

But Zadny, pining for his master, escapes his pen and tracks Tamas's scent over the mountain with Yuri in pursuit.

Then Karoly arrives and reveals to Nikolai the story of the succession of witches, their bargains with the goblin queen, and the mirror fragment.

Much of the surrounding landscape has been devastated by marauding goblin armies and a darkness spreads from the lake.

Yuri, running ahead in pursuit of Zadny, stumbles into the goblin queen's hall.

The shard returns to the mirror but with their combined magic they seize control of it and banish the goblin queen and her armies.
