The Society's main purpose is to protect mythical creatures from being exposed to humans, something which has become increasingly harder.
Along with this problem, they also have to find a way to stop an evil shareholder shapeshifter called Kullervo who wants to wipe out all of humanity to make way for mythical creatures, and he wants Connie's help to do it.
She initially refuses to tell anyone and swears Col to secrecy when he finds her asleep on the shore after one of the storms.
While avoiding everyone in a bid to protect her friends, she stumbles on an abandoned mine where she finds several mythical creatures, including a minotaur, who are crippled and want Connie to heal them.
The creature attacks Connie, seriously wounding her, and her friends have to rescue her from hospital as she needs a magical cure.
