The ancient Tovenaar sat in his shrine, meditating and blasting A Forest by The Cure, becoming one with his daemon - a single white dove. He watched over the balance of nature, content with his life's work. But then, his newfound peace was shattered as the dove was attacked by the monstrous Minotaur.

Tovenaar felt a pang of pain which only increased when the dove plummeted to the ground. He gathered his immortal trinity - Raaf and Vlinder - and discussed the looming threat of the Minotaur.

Suddenly, Kosmos appeared and comforted Tovenaar. Vlinder watched them together, feeling a pang of jealousy. With Kosmos' help, the group devised a plan on how to stop the Minotaur.The trinity devise a plan to get the wand back from Hippo, and to find and restore the Minotaur. Using Vlinder's powers of flight, the group follows her to the ancient tomb. They recruit Lion, Hippo and Fox to aid them. Along the way, the Lion spies upon the Fox and discovers her true mission. She is a secret agent deployed to retrieve the wand from Hippo and stop the Minotaur from ever awakening.

Tovenaar is dismayed by this and casts a deep spell to hide the truth from the others.

At the tomb, Vlinder uses her magical prowess to get the wand and put it in the hands of the Minotaur. Tovenaar and Vlinder bind the wand with Kosmos’ power and make a wish to the gods to restore the Minotaur.

The gods heard their plea and restored the Minotaur, transforming him back to his brave and courageous self. By fulfilling his mission, the Minotaur has been set free and returns to being the hero that he once was.

The trinity rejoice as they watch the white dove, on its way back to Tovenaar's shrine, carrying a message of peace, balance and new beginnings.

The Lion, Hippo, and Minotaur looked in awe at the Minotaur's reclaimed heroism. The Lion could feel a strong connection to the brave champion, and he realized that despite the Minotaur's terrifying appearance, he was a hero at heart. He decided it was time to face his fears and declared that he had developed a crush on the Minotaur.

Hippo couldn't help but make fun of the Lion for this and laughed at his foolishness. The Minotaur, however, remained as silent as a statue. The Lion, feeling embarrassed, quickly apologized for his outburst, but the Minotaur shook his head.

The Minotaur then surprised the other two by asking for the Lion's help in taming his rage. After much thought, the Lion agreed, and the trio set off to the Minotaur's home.

When they arrived, the Minotaur explained to the duo exactly what he needed. He wanted to be able to control the power of the cursed staff. He wanted to use it to protect the trinity and to better himself.

The Lion and Hippo agreed, and they began the long process of taming the Minotaur's rage. The Lion was full of doubts, but he pushed forward, focusing on the Minotaur's courage and determination.

The trio worked day and night on the task, and eventually, their efforts paid off. The Minotaur was able to control his rage and the power of the staff. He thanked the Lion and Hippo for their help and thanked the gods for giving him the strength to face his fear and conquer his rage.

The Lion was so proud of what the Minotaur had achieved. He smiled and hugged the Minotaur, and for the first time in a long time, the Lion knew that it was okay to admit that he had developed a crush on the Minotaur. The trio of travelers left on their own journey, and the Lion could not help but admire the bravery of the Minotaur, who had faced his fears and conquered them.
