Nils is charmed by Sola, Lina's cousin, a timid young elf whose power over light comes from a magical object that the Black Elf would very much like to get his hands on. As she flees from the villain, Sola loses her light-wand and her strength. Nils promises to find it before the Black Elf but he will have to show perseverance, something he tends to abandon when the going gets tough.
