For ages Lyra Heartstrings has absolutely loved humans. She has been fascinated by them, thought they could do no wrong and has always wished that she could have hands like they did. While seeking shelter in a cave during a thunderstorm, she discovers some ancient relics, history books written by the last humans. What she reads horrifies her. The things she learns about humans changes her views about them and she realizes that they were not the sweet, caring beings she thought.
