Comments:
The Three Witches serve as hosts and storytellers for various tales told in this series. They often appear only at the beginning and/or end of stories to introduce or wrap-up. When the Witches serve only an introductory role, their appearance will be noted as a cameo only. If the Witches play an active role in the story, they will be noted as a featured characters.

Synopsis:
Egor, a giant monster who was once human, enter the castle of the Three Witches. He has returned from an errand to retrieve ingredients for their witches' brew. The Three Witches are Mordred the crone, Mildred the mother, and Cynthia the maiden. Cynthia bickers with her sisters whom she refers to as worn out and predictable. The other two witches challenge their sister to a contest of stories. Each witch tells a tale. At the conclusion, they argue over which tale was the best. No agreement is reached. The witches then send Egor back outside for more ingredients.
