where the dwarf king and the king of Mor Luin shared their stories about meeting you.”
    Max glanced around the lunchroom, but nobody seemed particularly interested in what they were talking about. If anything, it probably sounded like they were discussing an online game or something. “How did you find us?” he asked.
    â€œYou have many friends in the Magrus,” Wayne continued. “Unicorns, dragons, and an elf who drives a magical coach.”
    â€œSumyl,” Dirk said with a smile. “She’s cool.”
    Wayne nodded. “I was sent by those who seek your return. All the realm knows what you’ve done for us.” He put his food down and turned to Max. “You’re the keeper of the Codex of Infinite Knowability . We believe that you and the Codex belong in the Magrus. The Tower would come together if you were to return and rebuild it. And the kings of the Seven Kingdoms desire to have you as an ally.”
    â€œSo you’ve come to take us back?” Dirk asked.
    â€œOnly if you want to,” Wayne replied. “I’m here to watch over Max and invite him and his friends to return.” Wayne turned to Dirk. “When you asked me to help, I knew it was more than a coincidence.”
    â€œDude!” Dirk exclaimed to Max. “You have your own tank now. That’s awesome! He’s like your bodyguard and stuff.”
    â€œBut you’re only a kid,” Sarah said to Wayne. “No offense, but why send you?”
    â€œWe know very little about you,” Wayne replied. “The council thought it made sense to send one boy to talk to another. We’re basically the same age.”
    Dirk laughed. “Maybe, but look at your arms. I wish I had guns like those.”
    Wayne looked at his arms. “Guns?”
    â€œHe didn’t mean that literally,” Sarah clarified.
    Wayne nodded as if he understood. “I’ve always been big.”
    â€œSo, to be clear, you’re telling us to leave our homes and travel all the way back to the Magrus?” Sarah asked.
    â€œI carry something that can open a doorway between the two realms,” Wayne replied. “It’s called the ShadricPortal, and it was crafted by the Wizard’s Tower long ago. In fact, it was created by Maximilian Sporazo. There is no need for a long journey—if you choose to return, Max will be able to open the portal and simply walk through.”
    â€œAwesome,” Dirk said, to nobody’s surprise.
    â€œDwight the dwarf is here as well, is that right?” Wayne added.
    Max nodded. “Yeah.”
    â€œAsk him about the Shadric Portal and what’s required to carry it,” Wayne said. “I think it will mean more coming from him.” He pushed himself up from the table. “Now I’m supposed to meet a man about something called football .”
    â€œYeah, I bet the coach is anxious to talk to you,” Max replied. “Thanks, Wayne. I guess you’ve given us a lot to think about.”
    â€œAnytime,” Wayne replied with a nod. He turned and walked out of the lunchroom, getting more than a few looks from the other students.
    â€œOkay,” Max said after a moment. “Didn’t see that one coming.”
    â€œWe’re all like heroes and junk,” Dirk said. “I bet someone’s carving a statue of me right now.”
    â€œIn your dreams,” Sarah replied. “So what do you guys think?”
    â€œBeing in the Magrus was awesome,” Dirk said. “But if comics have taught me anything, it’s that heroes just don’t get up and go where they want.”
    â€œLife isn’t a comic book,” Max replied. “If it was, Ricky wouldn’t still be bullying me—not after everything we’ve been through.” Max had hoped that Ricky had changed after their battle in the Tower. And for a while it seemed as if he had—but once they were home he returned to his
