Oscar and Lazar venture into a forest to investigate a series of mysterious deaths, out of Tinasha's watchful gaze. Unbeknownst to them, the Witch of the Forbidden Forest awaits within.

The king reveals a new potential bride for Oscar: Miralys, a palace maid. A disgruntled Oscar notices that Tinasha has taken this opportunity to keep her distance from him.

Tinasha finally succeeds in breaking the curse, thus fulfilling her contract with Oscar. In the middle of the king's birthday celebration, she comes to Oscar with a shocking revelation.

Tinasha leaves Farsas to defect to Cuscull at Lanak's side. Something about her actions, however, don't quite add up, which does not escape the notice of Cuscull's chief mage.

One day, as Oscar is helping Tinasha clean up around the tower, he finds himself mysteriously drawn in by a familiar-looking orb.
