Three years flew by on planet Haytons.
Locke had vanished, and Princess Ataline had grown up.
But Locke wasn't the only one who left without a trace.
The principal, in charge of both the Academy and the planet’s heroes, had disappeared with him.
Eventually, Eisen and Ataline discovered Locke's location: he'd gone to the final showdown with the planetary invaders.
The news hit them hard.
Many hoped that Locke would return, though rumors persisted he had vanished for good.
Sylvia, upon her return, had said these words:
"I gave it my all... but it only worked on one enemy. All my power for just one."
Even Eisen was a minor demigod, so few believed Locke could survive such chaos.
He might have many allies, but their abilities were useless in that world.
A couple months passed, and the Academy's crystal orb shattered.

The crystal orb was a relic that revealed the principal's location.
Once he died, the relic would break.
The world fell silent, and the academy faced a takeover crisis mounted by the four empires.
