While heading to Queen Diana's castle for an inter-tribal meeting, Conor and Fergus see a magician, Malachy, trapped in a ravine. They help him out, only to become trapped in the ravine themselves. Heeding Malachy's advice to "kiss the clay," Conor kisses a tower of clay. He and Fergus are blasted out of the ravine, and a beautiful naked girl appears beside them. The heroes don't understand where she came from, but they throw a blanket around the silent girl – whom they name Bridget – and take her with them to Diana's fortress.
There, Diana faces the angry tribes. One gruff leader, Colm, blames Diana for the murder of his young wife. Conor and Fergus arrive with Bridget, who won't leave Conor's side. Upon seeing the beautiful Bridget, Colm demands to have her; if he is denied, he says, he will declare war. He gives Diana one day and night to comply. Diana and Conor argue; Diana doesn't want to risk war, but Conor refuses to give in to Colm's demand. Diana instructs her soldiers to get the girl and to kill Conor if necessary.
Conor and Fergus build a camp nearby. Molly sees Bridget's fascination with fire and theorizes that the girl is a sprite; sprites created fire, but it was stolen by a man who cut out their tongues. That night, Conor must teach Bridget to sleep by closing her eyes. As they sleep, one of Diana's guards sneaks into the camp. Fergus and Conor catch him and send him back, then they leave for the ravine. At the ravine, they find runestones inscribed with the symbol of fire. Conor guesses they will find Malachy at Fire Mountain. Diana's soldiers attack the group. Bridget's hand is cut and bleeds fire. Panicked, the soldiers flee, and so does Bridget.
In the tunnels beneath Fire Mountain, Conor, Fergus and Molly encounter Malachy's warrior-goddesses – all as beautiful as Bridget, all as mute. The crazed magician takes the group to the "core," a great fire pit from whence all the sprites are born. Malachy insists the trio find the missing Bridget and return her to the core. The group returns to the surface to see the forest ablaze. Realizing Bridget's "bleeding" hand is leaving this trail, they search the inferno. Elsewhere in the burning forest, Diana captures Bridget.
Diana takes the girl back to her fortress. There, Molly sneaks in and takes Bridget's place. Molly and Fergus defeat Colm and return with Bridget and Conor to Fire Mountain. Conor takes Bridget back to the core. Bridget steps into the fire. She makes Conor close his eyes; when he opens them, she has vanished into the flames.
