==Plot Summary==
Errol, Reine, and Jack have a dream. Errol finds himself in the form of a butterfly two figures rush past him and seem to be fleeing a burning village. Jack finds himself in the form of a firefly and hides from the beckoning lights of the other fireflies as he also sees two figures in the distance a fire beckons. Reine is on the outskirts of her village with her then friend Sigrid. Errol attempts to attack the figures fleeing past him but instead he hitches a ride on the back of one. Jack as a firefly flies at an angle to get a bit closer look at the flames destroying the village. We soon learn this is Reine's village as she witnesses it burning down as evil hunters tear the antlers off of her people. All three awake and make their way to the guild hall. They begin discussing this when Caelemon barges in having slept very little and tells them in a fervor that they must seek an individual named Xavier Tinman give him a specific gold bracelet and eventually befriend him to prevent a terrible future where the whole world is destroyed by a terrible thirst brought about by the Charming Chabin a teapot of terrible power.
The group discusses what they must do and decide to visit a family owned jewelry shop where they learn that the bracelet was likely made by Freida, Jack's sister. At this point Reine thanks the jeweler named Alejandra Shaw and buys a pair of gold earrings. The group ponders where they might can find Freida, and Errol recommends the party visit Mt. Hokkaido which is another clue the party was given by Caelemon. They take a train and when they arrive Reine does some reconnaissance as Jack puffs away in a gust leaving Errol and Drake meandering aimlessly through the woods. where he is accosted by an abominable snowman of some sort. However, it is in a rather warm part of this area. Errol draws his rapier and attacks hoping to drive the animal off. Although his rapier strikes true, the yeti gets its own strike against Errol doing some very hefty damage. Even after doing his best to mitigate it Errol is left frightened by the attack. At this point Reine as a Roc swoops in and saves Errol. The group reconvenes and heads to a cliff on the side of the mountain where Reine's parents, Arne and Linnea Ylvaby, have set up a camp. Reine helps Errol shake off some of his Menace with some tea as a terrible deluge of muddy water rushes down the side of the mountain.
Jack makes a somewhat successful attempt to divert the melted ice water which saves the location of Arne and Linnea's camp but unfortunately not their belongings as most of that is swept off of the cliff by water. Reine contacts her friend Cameron who will in the future help regrow the black cherry tree which has been knocked over. The group heads to the top of their part of the mountain to find the source of the melted ice water where they encounter Edith blasting the ice and snow with fire magic in a very entertaining display. Despite this Jack confronts her and learns they were sent to supposedly melt the ice to water wheat crop down below and paid handsomely for it by Xavier Tinman. They ask Edith about the bracelet and learn she has it but gives it to the group when Jack convinces her that it is for saving the world. 
The party head towards the location of Xavier Tinman where Jack spies on the group using flamethrowers to melt the ice. The party attempts to concoct a plan when they realize the bracelet may be easy to just remove. The group goes back to Edith and discuss their wish to make it irremovable. She agrees reluctantly and alters the bracelet so it may not be removed by anyone except for her. The group then return to the location of the three constructs who are melting ice. Errol in Reine's Roc claws attempts to distract the trio below by trying to convince them the Roc is eating him. Then Jack slaps the bracelet on Xavier's arm where it melds with the existing metal. Reine drops Errol expertly onto the flamethrower of Olaf Schaffner. Errol manages to kick the flamethrower over the cliff and grovels at Olaf's feet asking him for forgiveness and trying to impress upon him that the melting ice has displaced Roc populations and created a danger for humanoids. Olaf and Chibi successfully depart, sadly Xavier is held back by the bracelet and is abandoned by his fellow guild members. Errol, Jack, and Reine attempt to soothe him and let him know that they will help him however they can.
