Some warn that the dragon's ghost will plague him until it drives him mad and eventually takes possession of Twist completely. Although they say that this should take years to happen, thanks to Twist's powerful sight, the dragon's ghost is getting stronger much faster than that.

Without anywhere else to turn, Twist and his friends now have to set off across the world, once again, this time to meet a witch.
