Taking place shortly after the events of The Siege, both Ruby and Digger realize they haven't bathed in several months because of the war, and as luck would have it, they meet up at the same pond...

The Chaw of Chaws, having successfully completed their infiltration of St. Aegolius, planned on returning to Ga'Hoole victorious. However, the Pure Ones have massed an army at Cape Glaux in preparation for the invasion of Ga'Hoole. While everyone knows that the Guardians won the battle, what if a few select events had played out differently? Can the Chaw of Chaws save Ga'Hoole?
