Unfortunately, Engle and Melda already did, and now have cursed marks of their own. The know-all has some very bad news for all of them: Tor needs to find the Night Witch on a dangerous, colorless part of the island, he has only a week to do it before the curse kills him, and he absolutely needs to make sure no one touches the cursed mark on his arm. His classmates Engle and Melda fetch him for school, spot the curse, and whisk Tor off to see a "know-all" instead: a hermit woman outside the village who can tell them what to do. But there's something else on his arm: a blinking eye, the sign of a curse. Tor makes his wish and, low and behold, wakes up with no leadership mark. He's wished for as long as he can remember to have a different emblem on his arm - not the leadership mark he's had since birth, but one for breathing under water. He's 12 years old, which is finally old enough to make a wish during the festivities. In CURSE OF THE NIGHT WITCH, Tor is excited about the Eve celebrations on Emblem Island.
