Chapter 3 of 'Windows on Our World. Part 1: Hope' is entitled 'Butterfly and Swan'.
In this chapter, the company is almost complete as the wizard twins, Sim and Wim, join Helge, Squire and Vinny on the first leg of the 'Quest for the teeth of the upper jaw' that belong to the ancient golden skull. The wizard Tobin has the skull and it's the quest of the company to find all of the teeth. Whenever they find a tooth, they will also be given instructions to find the next tooth.
Tobin gives them the first set of instructions that take them to their first destination, the town of Rivermeet.
Their journey to Rivermeet is not without incident. When they arrive there, they meet the Luchorpan, Alvin. The chapter ends with the twins finding the first tooth.
It's the nature of the quest that motivates reviewer Yolande du Plessis to summarise the book with the words: 'Lord of the Rings meets National Treasure'. Read the review at http://www.lesbillgates.com/hope.html
