The Magic Forest is the most mysterious place in the Enchanted Lands. He has a special protection - here everything is not what it seems. And it's not easy... In the center of the forest is the strongest magic crystal - the Heart of the Forest. He endows the Magic Lands with magic! Everything went on as usual, but one of the wizards, Dares, decided to subdue the power of the Heart of the Forest. To do this, he went to the most impenetrable and mysterious parts of the Magic Forest. Many magicians tried to stop him, but the thirst for power blinded him and turned him into a Dark Magician. All who opposed him were turned to stone. At this time, the strongest wizards and guardians divided the crystal and hid the pieces in different parts of the forest. And in the vicinity of the fragments formed portals that will help the good wizard to quickly find all the fragments. At the moment when the last fragment was hidden, Dares gets to the place and sees the keepers. He turned them all to stone. Dares was furious. He understood that only magicians of light can open the magic circle that allows you to see the true appearance of the forest. It opens the Dark Portal and lets in dark spirits that are able to endow the creatures of the forest with dark power or turn into an enemy themselves. Also, the Dark Magician used a spell of dark infection. Kotore, infecting the forest with darkness, will remove the spell of its protection. There are not many Light magicians left, as well as time to save the forest. You need to collect all the fragments as soon as possible, combine them into a single crystal and defeat the Dark Mage in order to save the Magic Lands.

On a dark, dark night, on a dark, dark street, in an ordinary house, a schoolboy was fast asleep in his cozy bed. It was a stormy night, with rain pouring heavily and thunder roaring in the distance. The wind howled through the cracks, and shadows danced on the walls. Suddenly, just like in every classic horror tale, a long, bony hand reached through the window, its fingers curling menacingly… Did you shudder? The old, wicked witch had set her sights on the schoolboy. Without warning, she snatched him from his bed and locked him away in a creaky, dimly lit attic in her eerie, crumbling house!
