Ethan snapped back to himself and glanced into his Mindscape. Three tiny figures stood on separate little islands to the east, west, and north, staring at the sky with yearning eyes. His head throbbed. How many of these little ones were running around in his mind now? It was turning into a kindergarten. Still, he didn't hesitate. Another flash of white light, and three more figures appeared—a girl and two boys.
The girl was Aqua, the spirit artifact of the Clearspring City Seal. Gale, the boy on the western island, came from the Hurricane City Seal. The last was the strangest: a squat lump of pitch-black coal that could somehow move and fight. That one was Oblivion, born from the Mark of Oblivion. Ethan didn't even have to guess—these names had all been chosen by Luna.
