Changing Rings
These are two rings made of moonmetal who have two stories, although they are at the opposite ends of history. They are not well known, however, and only a select number of people in The House know about them, although many have seen them. The quality of these rings show that they were made by a master metal maker of some skill, and change shape with every person who handles them, or with the changes in the wearer's soul.
They are currently in the possession of TheHunterKiller; the future versions are held by Zaira and Jaxmin.
History
The following is an excerpt from a record which can be found at the Place of the Touched.
Intenzia, Metal Worker
3m, 2d
A piece of metal has been brought to me which possesses strange qualities. It appears to be moonmetal, but it does not behave like any I’ve ever seen. It was found by one of my students, but he could not see the shape it should take. Several of the other students bore no further results. And yet as it was passed hand to hand, it changed. With one it was a sphere, another ovid, and then like a crescent moon. And so they brought it to me. Although I at times glimpse a figure, it is not enough to make the metal.

Neither Moon nor Altairtax have seen this type of metal before, and so have no light to shed on the matter. And yet Moon planted a suggestion which I have thought through. Since it is a changing metal, perhaps it should be given a shape which functionalizes its changes. It seems to change toward each who holds it, and yet cannot find its own shape. If I can give it a shape and structure in which to change, it may turn out well.
4m, 12d
After an extensive session, I have succeeded in shaping this usual metal. Its changing nature made quite a test, and it proved quite difficult to latch onto the metal at all. But I at last overcame that factor and impressed a shape onto it. What I have created is a pair of rings, wide bands that let the metal make patterns and scenes to each wearer, and also as they wish. At least, that is what I suppose would happen.
I don’t know what will become of them. They are perhaps one of the rarest items in the world. For now, they sit on the shelf in a concealed box, waiting for those who will wear them. Moon assured me that if the knowledge came to her, she would send for them.
The box containing these rings was entrusted to me by the previous metal worker, and so on. I am the fifth metal worker since Intenzia. The box has vanished from my study, and cannot be found, despite my discrete inquiries. Neither Moon nor Altairtax are aware of what may have happened. Or if they are, neither is saying. And yet I don’t feel distress at its disappearance. Perhaps the right person has found them. Or, they have found the right person.

In Box
Eventually, these rings found their way to Earth and were unearthed by Matsuo Shin in Peru in 2011, contained in an alien container among other Lupa artifacts. He promptly contacted Miara Mitsuki, who said she would look at them. While looking over several of the rings from the box, she was shocked when two of them rings changed in her hand.
Quickly realizing they were the rings worn by her own parents in the future, she put together the whole chain of events and left immediately, and counseled Matsuo not to hold onto them. TheHunterKiller appeared not long after, demanding he hand over the rings, stating that they did not belong to him, which he did.
