Now almost twenty years later, Ul de Rico offers us the complementary tale of the eighth goblin, the white one, banished by his evil brothers to the colorless wastes of the North. There he has suffered in isolation until the day he learns of his brothers' catastrophe and sets out to enjoy the world of color again.

In the end all sources are exhausted, and Ul de Rico's visionary paintings show us how a handful of Cave Goblins rediscover color's vital importance to life, and return the world to its blissful origins.
