In the distant past, when Nezzik was very young, he was abducted from his hometown "Grambil". It was bought by a rich family of scientists, and Nezzik grew up without needing anything. But soon he learned a terrible secret: the people who were his new family exterminated everyone who was like him in order to master the magic of the forest spirit - it was she who gave the greatest power and immortality.

When he woke up, he found himself in a warm and cozy house. He was found by the little Gruns, the guardians of the owl grove. Nezzik stayed to live with them, they exchanged skills and knowledge. Since then, Nezzik has become the guardian of the owl grove. What will happen next for our hero?
