Crix was a young Cricken (the cricket sapiens) from a magical nook of Amber Heights and he never liked war affairs. In fact, he was a keen collector of secrets!

When he and the suit of the First Light had left the premises of the shah, the image of the purple spider he saw there had puzzled him.

Back at Amber Heights, his friend Legen (Green Elf) was waiting for him with a plan! This time, with the help of Uncle Dirp (the Hedgen of the forest), they unravel even more troubles the castle of Nabadeen was hunting after.
