Soon Katya is sent on another mission, to investigate the disappearance of magical maidens near the castle of the Katschei. In disguise, Katya is kidnapped and taken to the castle by a Jinn. Since he has taken over the castle, the Tradition forces him to kidnap young women, the Jinn uses that to his advantage and kidnaps magical young women so he can take their magic. Although the Jinn is able to sense when the women use magic, Katya tries to convince the others to escape. She sends out her paper bird to seek help from the nearest Champions.
