Part IV: Rescuing Sharpy the Mekie
Once the exiled homins finally made their way back to the New Lands, they found that much had changed.
The most important of these changes is undoubtedly the total absence of the once all powerful drug 'Cats'. But the truth is that homins no longer need that drug. Perhaps due to prolonged use for many decades, or perhaps caused by exposure to unknown energies on the Old Lands, now most homins appear to be under permanent and constant effect of Cats.
But another thing that the newly returned homins quickly discovered was that the Kitins weren't entirely gone from the New Lands. Many nests still dot the landscape, and Kitin gangs roam the countryside.
One such gang has taken over Min-Cho, building their nest right next to the main stables. The Zoraï authorities appear powerless to do anything about it.
In one dramatic episode, a particularly rowdy gang of Kitins of the Depths has kidnapped Ghuiss's faithful mount, Sharpy the Mek.
Sharpy held hostage by Kitins of the Depths.
Fortunaly, a combined effort of local Zora residents was able to rescue Sharpy, but the Kitins remain a constant threat.
