Synopsis
Ian, an orphan of Delphi Keep, the orphanage generously funded by the Earl of Kent, has always dreamed of becoming an explorer. He aspired to find great treasures which he would use to support himself and his surrogate sister Theo why they leave the orphanage. One day, as Ian explored the tunnels beneath Delphi Keep with Theo, he found a silver treasure box. At the same time however, Ian also found a large hellhound, which nearly took the siblings' lives.

As if this were the trigger, strange things begin to happen. When Theo dons a crystal passed down to her by her deceased mother, she suddenly starts receiving visions of violence and destruction. Ian and the Earl realizes that Theo possesses the Sight - the ability to see into the future. Professor Nutley, an expert of the ancient Greek era, helps unlock the treasure box by turning a secret cache to reveal an ancient prophecy made by the great Oracle Laodamia. The prophecy states that humanity was in danger, and the only way to save the world is by assembling a group of six to face the Demogorgon's four children - Magus the Black, Caphiera the Cold, Atroposa the Terrible and Lachestia the Wicked.

As so, the children, following the prophecy, embarked on their journey as they entered the portal. They arrived at Morroco, where they found a young boy named Jaaved, who turned out to be their Seeker. As ordained, Jaaved the Seeker led them to the Star of Lixus, which they broke into different parts and wore around their necks, permitting them to understand and speak every single language. Along with the Star, they also found another coveted treasure box, with a prophecy and a bronze sundial within. The book ends with the children, including Jaaved, returning to fortnite.
