[Music]

oh my queen said the royal sorcerer to

hatch upset

with this amulet you and your

descendants are endowed by the goddess

!sis with the powers of the animals and

the elements you will soar as the falcon

soars run with the speed of gazelles

and command the elements of sky and

earth

three thousand years later a young

science teacher dug up this lost

treasure and found she was heir to

the secrets of !sis and so unknown to

even her closest friends rick mason and

cindy lee

she became a dual person andrea thomas

teacher

almighty !sis and

!sis

dedicated foe of evil defender of the

wake

champion of truth and justice

[Music]

your front door could be billions of

years old as old as the earth itself

this rock contains the mineral tungsten

and will turn fluorescent under an

ultraviolet light

it's pretty

what a sparkler

[Music]

by towers of ore which are exceptionally

strong dishes fly in the box where they

belong

happened yeah sure follow me

[Music]

i was standing right here by the spot

okay but first please finish the dishes

and don't stay away too long because mr

mason should be back right right

let's go back to camp

how come you want to catch the firewood

i thought that you didn't like trolls i

don't that's just why i'm in trouble

trouble yeah i signed my dad's name by

permission slips i can get out of

cleaning the yard

aren't you afraid of getting caught yeah

that's what i wanted to leave before mr

mason came back

oh you know what fabian yeah i'm gonna

run away i'll see you

hey wait for me

[Music]

this black rock is obsidian and forms

when hot lava cools quickly

structure very much like that of glass

didn't the indians use obsidian for

arrowheads right and knives too it can

be fashioned at a very sharp cutting

point what took you so long excuse me

g*ng but i have to talk to miss thomas

for a moment all right here pass it

around

what's up you look worried oh i just

talked to dr barnes kevin's father never

signed his permission slip for the rock

hunt oh no

oh yes

that's why kevin didn't want you to talk

to dr barnes and that's why mr mcauley

is on his way up here right now to pick

up kevin and take him home

where is kevin anyway he and fabian are

out gathering firewood

interesting that's the first time i've

heard kevin volunteer for anything

you don't

you don't suppose he

he's run

away

they should be in the area i'm sure

that a girl

[Music]

kevin i i really think we ought to try

to go back uh i don't know

oh come on joe's aren't really so bad

maybe not for you but i'd rather be

having some fun

before i came to america i hadn't had

any fun

all i did was study with my tutors and

go to state functions with my parents

wow my parents were so strict

because someday i may be ruler of my

country

ruler of your country wait a second

wait a second

you the ruler of your country that's

right you mean like a king

well sort of but not exactly well then

how come you don't mind doing chores you

know like ordinary people

everybody has to have some

responsibility in life and mine is to my

country and people that's all

you really feel that way don't you

i think it's a good thing to have

responsibility

it makes you feel needed

all right come on

[Music]

[Music]

mighty !sis

[Music]

big circle oh it looks like we really

are lost hey don't worry we'll work it

what you were saying about

responsibility you really think i've

been goofing it up

you just can't get out of your

responsibilities kevin they just catch

up with you

uh look i'm too tired to go any further

you go ahead i can't just go off and

leave you here listen i got you into

a friend well you've got one now

and don't worry if we stick right here

someone will find us

hey look at that honey tree

maybe you better not i don't worry about

it

aren't those claw marks yeah so what

a bear made those marks that means this

is history and bears won't let anyone

near their honey trees miss thomas told

me that i wonder where the bees are the

bear probably broke their hive and they

left to build another one somewhere else

kevin that's a bear's fool and he'll

find another honey tree what if he

doesn't want to find it

and then what happened fabian and then

!sis made the fire go away and the bear

serious matter
