Story
The young boy Charles Harkort lives in the castle of his grandfather near the river. On the other side of the river are the so-called "Abandoned Lands". In ancient times, people lived there, but with the arrival of evil spirits, almost all people either left this land or were killed.
One day Uncle Harcourt, after a long and dangerous journey through the "Abandoned Lands", returns to the castle and talks about a certain prism that is located in the very heart of these lands. According to legend, in this prism is a spirit that is able to destroy all evil.
Harcourt then decides to go to these lands in search of a prism. The uncle approves of his decision, but tells Harcourt that he cannot cope with it alone. Large detachment, too, can not be sent, because it will be noticed by evil. After collecting a small detachment of four people, including himself, Harcourt goes in search. Their main task is to go unnoticed, but not everything goes according to plan.
