- I, Millie

No-Middle-Name No-Last-Name,

am going to the house

of a real live sorceress.

Thank you, magic gods!

- Okay, that was right in my--

[thunder crashes]

Ah!

[laughs]

- Millie, remember, we're not

paying a social visit.

- That's right.

We're going to get

Sir Gadabout's courage back

from an evil witch.

- [shudders]

Evil witch.

- I know, but I bet her house

is going to be so creepy

and covered in brambles

and sharp pointy spikes.

- [whimpers]

Pointy spikes.

- [whimpering]

Oh, I heard spikes too.

[thunder crashes]

- Oh, and the air around

her house will be cold.

And the path to her front door

will be littered

with the bones of her enemies.

Bones of her enemies.

Oh, the worst kind of bones.

I don't know if I like this.

- And best of all, if there

are any spell books inside,

I could finally learn to--

[all gasp]

[laughing]

[whimpering]

That must be it.

- Uh-huh.

If I were an evil sorceress,

that's exactly what my house

would look like.

- Oh, it's everything

I thought it would be--

and more!

[thunder crashing]

Could use more bones though.

Have you tried turning it off

and then turning it

back on again?

Of course I tried that!

That's, like, Portal 101.

Ah, yep, I see.

It's as I expected.

Your problem here is

both: Hmm?

It exploded.

[bleats angrily]

Ah!

Oh, I know it exploded.

What I need to know is

when it will be fixed.

There are children in danger.

A powerful sorceress

is after them.

Not to mention, the future of

an entire kingdom is at stake.

[bleats]

All right, buddy.

Keep your whiskers on.

- [groans]

Lenny, fruit me.

- [grunts]

- I just hope the children can

avoid Fendra until then.

Show me the kids.

[sighs]

There they are.

I guess if worse comes

to worse,

Max does have

the Ring of Return.

Ow! I'm okay.

- She could at least zap

herself here with the dagger

to keep it away from Fendra.

Eh, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Kids have their own

kind of dumb luck.

- Oh, they'll need

a lot more than luck.

The sorceress chasing them

is the same one

who destroyed this portal.

- Oh, wow, yeah.

Then they're in big trouble.

This thing's a mess.

[thunder crashing]

[whimpers]

- Okay, g*ng,

first things first,

we need to figure out

if this sorceress is home--

- Stop!

- I'm going in.

- Millie.

Get back here.

Millie.

Hey, guys!

She's not home.

Okay, the witch isn't home,

but how do we get inside?

Hey, guys, the door's open!

- Huh, that was easy.

- But what kind of

all-powerful sorceress

doesn't even lock her door?

[laughing excitedly]

We'll go in and look

for his courage.

Yes, yes.

Good. Will do.

[humming]

Wow.

[squeals, giggles]

Whoa.

We're in the lair

Look, a bubbling cauldron.

- Millie, please

don't touch that.

[humming]

Ooh, an eternal flame.

[insects chittering]

Witch grapes!

Millie, no!

[laughs] Mmm!

Man, these are disgusting.

Ooh, you guys gotta try one.

- Uh-uh.

- No way.

Blech. Ew.

[gasps, squeals]

This is amazing!

[laughing excitedly]

- Any ideas where

an evil witch might keep

a knight's stolen courage?

- Sadly, I have yet

to read any books

on evil witches'

home organization practices.

Right.

Rifling through drawers

it is then.

Wow.

- Millie.

- Huh?

[gasps]

- Let's look in here.

- Millie.

- You guys hear that?

- Millie.

- Millie.

- Uh-uh.

- Nope.

- No.

[eerie music]

[whispers] Hello?

Are you a ghost?

If you're a ghost,

you have to tell me.

Pretty sure there's

a law about that.

[squeals]

Spell books.

- Millie.

Millie.

Someone's tooth. Great.

- [gasps] I recognize

that enormous incisor.

Graugnar the Troll mentioned

a witch stole his tooth.

Evidently, he wasn't telling

a tall tale after all.

Perhaps I should

return it to him.

- So this lady just goes around

taking people's stuff?

What does she do

with all of it?

My guess is nothing good.

[dramatic musical sting]

♪

[thunder crashes]

- What do you think

they're finding in there?

- Could be all manner

of terrifying things.

Evil potions,

animal parts, spiders.

So many spiders.

Oh. Thanks.

Scalp rubs do calm my nerves.

Scalp rubs?

Dagnabbit, Pete.

All I managed to get through

was a hand.

That's not going to cut it.

- All right, all right,

don't blow a vein.

- I'm working on it.

Um

have you tried turning it off

and then turning it

back on again?

- Pete, ask me that

one more time

and I will turn you

into a toad!

I talked him into coming inside

and that's the entire story.

There's nothing else to it

and you're welcome.

- Right.

Just be careful

and definitely

don't touch anything.

- Open me.

[gasps]

- [sinisterly] Open me.

[gasps]

- Open me. Open me.

[indistinct

disembodied chatter]

[gasping excitedly]

- [gasps]

I say, here's an idea.

We'll go through

each drawer again,

paying close attention

to the fiendish methods a witch

might use to obfuscate the true

nature of the substance--

- I found it.

Sir Gadabout, look.

We found your courage.

My courage. Oh.

[grunts]

[triumphant music]

[yelps]

- Ah-ah. Not so fast.

[all exclaim]

Oh, too bad I came home

just as Sir Knockabout

was about

to drink his courage down.

What bad luck.

- Max, I do believe

that is Fendra.

Wait, Fendra Fendra?

As in the witch who's

working with Gastley?

- [whimpering]

- That's me.

Now, one of you has magic.

I can smell it.

[sniffs]

So which of you is

the witch or warlock?

- Ah-ah-ah-ah.

- That doesn't belong to you.

Give it back.

- Nonsense. It belongs to me

because I took it.

And speaking

of taking things

Hey!

Finally, King Conrad

will be mine!

- No, he won't!

So the little trickle of magic

I've been sensing

comes from you.

- Come on then, girlie.

Let's see what you've got.

- I've got this!

[grunts]

You're no sorceress.

Perhaps I should show you

how it's done.

- Millie!

Millie, are you okay?

Sir Gadabout wasn't kidding.

You really are a monster.

Well, brat,
