Plot Summary:
This week we find Jade, Grizzlt and Skirmish enjoying a nice quiet morning in the Guild Hall before the familiar face of Sterling Argentine pops by searching for his sister. Not knowing Stella's whereabouts the trio asks if there is anything they can help out with in her place. Sterling explains that new and exciting artifacts have been brought to the Niqamui Museum of Natural History and are set to be put on display in just a few days time. Curious as to why Sterling would need to come to the Guild Hall to mention this Jade, Skirmish and Grizzlt are told that two of the Artifacts, while being thousands of years old, contain the Firebreathing Kittens emblem. Asked for help in determining if the artifacts are authentic or forgeries the group offers their assistance and make their way to the Museum to figure out how ancient artifacts could have the guild emblem on them.
Upon arrival Skirmish, Grizzlt and Jade are intrigued when they discover an ornate necklace and a bone whistle that seem to be as authentic as can be and do contain the Firebreathing Kittens emblem. Grizzlt and Skirmish argue to Sterling what merit a whistle has if no one is sure it works and, with a bit of convincing, are allowed by Sterling to handle and play the Artifact. Hoping that in doing so information as to how the it came to bear the emblem might be revealed. A gentle tune later Jade, Grizzlt and Skirmish are hurtled back through time and space, coming to land in a lush green meadow. It's only after taking a moment to gather their wits that the trio realize they are not alone in this meadow. Across the cleaning an unfamiliar group of warriors are engaged in battle with one of the largest lizards the group has even seen.
Acting as an interpreter Grizzlt approached the tribe attempting to find out just where they were and aiding Jade with her questioning about proper hunting papers. Realizing the tribe was hunting the lizard for food Skirmish jumped into action wrestling the towering beast to the ground before Jade and her sword Maliocus put a swift and fiery end to the lizard's existence. After felling the beast the group met Evantra Leko, a great huntress, who invited the group back to her village after seeing them in action and thinking there may be more to Skirmish, Jade and Grizzlt than meets the eye. Upon arriving the group is introduced to the Great Shaman of the village, Nyota Kiinas, where they inquire about just where and possibly when they are. Learning that the land they are in, Kamui, is the group's homeland of Niqamui but in a time long before any of them knew. Learning about the artifacts from their time and how they belong to this tribe the Kittens are tasked with fulfilling a prophecy of Nyota's and ridding Kamui of an "Intruder."
Taking up the mission the group beings the search discovering an all too familiar golden dust trail they all realize to be Ekenblim but, alongside the dust something else catches their attention a trail of beautiful blue crystals. Following the trail into the woods the group comes across Laventrellethim, a beautiful blue crystal dragon. Explaining their predicament "Ventrelle" tells the Kittens they too are in the forest searching for an "Intruder," believing the Ekenblim and the "Intruder" might be one in the same. Ventrelle then asks the Kittens to aid them in seeking out and destroying the Ekenblim as Ventrelle feels that the Ekenblim's presence in Kamui can only be bad.
Jade, Grizzlt and Skirmish set out in the direction given to them by Ventrelle and soon find themselves under an odd looking tree. Making his way up the tree without hesitation Skirmish barges into a hidden observatory surprising the Ekenblim Austin. Grizzlt and Jade soon catch up and the three interrogate the Ekenblim trying to find out what is going on and why Austin in there in this time. Grizzlt calls back to a memory from a previous adventure (To wing or Not Two Wings) where a similar observation post was monitoring a world set for Ekenblim invasion. The trio pounce on Austin as it tries to escape once its true motives are discovered, taking it captive alogn with very useful information on the location of several other observation posts across the land. Meeting back up with Vantrelle and the Village of Nyota and Evantra, after catpuring and stopping the "Intruder," the trio of Kittens are presented with a bone whistle similar to the one they were shown in their own time. A sacred ceremony is held by Nyota naming the Firebreathing Kittens guardians of the land of Kamui and heroes of the village.
Taking a little time for rest and relaxation jade, Grizzlt and Skirmish spend a lovely week on the ancient Niqamui indulging themselves in the sun and the hospitality of the villagers. Preparing to head back to their own time Jade shares information with Ventrelle regarding the other outposts and the Kittens find themselves hurtled back to the future, reappearing in the museum with Starling who tells them that no time has passed at all!!
