Isis, goddess of Egyptian mythology. Sacred words written by Isis are stolen from her temple. Isis tries to locate the papyri with the help of temple maiden descendants and her son, Horus, transfixed in the body of a falcon. Ninetieth-century archeologist found the sarcophagus with papyri inside. He smuggles it to England; later it turns up in the British Museum. A young trainee curator, in fact a modern-day fairy called Aster, discovers them in the vault. Aster is taken to Isiss temple in London and hears the story of these papyri. She relates her tale to the fairy council elders and asks them for help. The fairy queen, Narcissus, aids in the return of sacred documents to Isis.
