Major Story Arcs

One of the children of the fairies Theron and Kei Pax, Zin enjoyed hanging out at Jono’s ramen stand. They came often enough that Jono would give them freebies. In fact, Theron told Jono that Zin would love to move out and live at the ramen stand. The stand was in the Trees section of Kiros, as was their home.

Auberon, Zin, Joya, and Typha all came with Theron when he met Phaedra Essex, his ex-partner, at the stand to discuss a case. They all harassed him for money for the arcade.

Phaedra and Theron visited Theron’s family’s home to work more on the case. The kids were all formally introduced to Phaedra and some of her other friends then. They also brought a big group of Taka, a species of cute fuzzy animals.

When Phaedra mentioned their current mystery, the kids all got excited to solve it. According to Theron, they all loved crime.

As the mystery deepened and became more dangerous, Phaedra and Theron decided to bring all their friends and family to a safehouse to protect them. Kei and all her kids joined their other friends at the old house of Phinneas III of Thane—Phaedra’s father, and the Prime Minister of Kiros.

They were excited to be there because it made them feel rich. They also wanted to continue to help solving crimes.

Phaedra and Theron end up solving the mystery (without the kids’ help!). Afterwards the kids hang out with Pax, Theron, and some other friends on a public platform in the trees, all of them flying around and having a good time, free of worry.
