Synopsis

Henrietta and her group fight off repeated attacks by the stone men, whose leader turns out to be Henrietta's mother -- a simulacrum created by Ornun Zol to be his child. Quarrels between daughter and father had created the war. Ornun Zol finally appears; father and daughter wage a mighty battle. But the house has become Henrietta's, and with the house's power she saves her mother, by returning her to infancy, to gain a second chance. The wizard acknowledges his faults in maintaining the war, and dies of his wounds. The house, now fit and healthy, is Henrietta's.
