Hegsha's daily job was to boil potions, and colorful bubbles were gurgling from her big black pot. But today, all the bubbles in the big black pot have turned grey. Hegesha walked to the window and found that the silver fir forest at the foot of the mountain was turning white.

A group of elves, holding glowing spears and treading on tree roots, were uprooting one silver fir tree after another from the soil. They have come to seize the Misty Rock Mountain, hoping to turn it into a garden for elves.

Hegsha waved her withered fingers angrily. She took out an ancient bronze drum from the deepest part of the cellar and struck it hard. Boom! Boom! The drumbeat rolled down the hillside like thunder.

A long crack split the earth. A skeletal horse leapt out, breathing blue flames, with Ghost Rider on its back. He had no skin, and ghostly blue fire burned between his bones. In one hand, he gripped a red-hot iron chain.

The elves saw Ghost Rider racing down the mountain. They raised their glowing spears and rushed to meet him. Clink! Clank! The spears struck his bones, but Ghost Rider didn’t feel a thing.

Ghost Rider swung his red-hot chain. Like a fiery snake, it curled around the elves’ spears and burned them to ashes. The elves were terrified. They had never faced an enemy they couldn’t beat.

Ghost Rider’s blue flames lit up the grass all around him. He raised a bony arm and pointed straight ahead. The skeleton horse breathed out a great burst of blue fire. A wall of flames rose in front of the elves.

The elves dropped their weapons, turned, and dove into the soil. In a flash, they were gone. The silver fir forest grew quiet. Beside the roots of an uprooted tree, only a few tiny footprints remained.

Ghost Rider rode his skeleton horse back to the mountaintop. Hegsha brought out a steaming bowl of spider-eye soup and set it on a rock. Ghost Rider picked up the bowl. Blue flames flickered in his eye sockets. That was how he smiled.

Hegsha sat back down by the window. In her big black cauldron, the bubbles turned colorful again. Far away in the silver fir forest, the uprooted roots were slowly growing back into the soil, little by little.
