"So how long have we been waiting now?" Sky asked suddenly. As soon as he'd read the letter he'd received from Jane, he ran outside and jumped on his bike. He had cycled to his school as fast as he could, but hadn't seen anyone. Two minutes later, Alexa Harts had also come to the exact same place as him. When he saw her he had said nothing and looked away from her. She hadn't said anything to him either and ignored him. A little later, Jane Newton had joined them. She'd walked straight to Alexa and started a conversation with Alexa. Finally Robin Lowis had come to Sky and asked him how long he had been standing here. Just recently, Sky had replied. Now they had been waiting here for five minutes, but saw no movement. Sky looked at his watch and saw that it was ten past nine. When is that S. Hale coming? asked Sky aloud. He turned to Alexa and Jane and only now saw who Jane was. When Jane had walked up to him this evening, he'd asked her for her name, but now that he looked closer, he saw that Jane was the girl who always walked by Alexa. He walked over to her and asked, "Do you know what we should do?" Jane looked at him with a small grin on her face. "Maybe you should reread your letter instead of asking questions all the time when Sam is actually coming." Sam? Sky asked, but Jane was already looking away from him and was talking to Alexa again.

Sky asked, but Jane was already looking away from him and was talking to Alexa again. Sky turned back and caught a glimpse of Jane watching him briefly. He didn't feel like arguing with Jane in front of Alexa, so he took his letter from his back pocket and opened it again. He looked for the time and saw that they would be met at 21:14. When he looked back at his watch, it was twelve past nine. He glanced briefly at Jane and saw her wink briefly at him without Alexa noticing. He looked away with a small smile and walked back to Robin. Hey, he said to Robin. How did you end up here? "Well..." Robin began, but was interrupted by a voice coming from behind them. Everyone has received a letter from Jane Newton and has come here, said a man, walking towards them. Alexa and Jane were standing next to Robin and Sky. As the man walked closer to them, Sky saw that he could only be about twenty. I'm Sam Smith and I put you together with my team to solve a few things, the man continued. He looked at the four youths one by one. You each got a letter telling you to come to this place with an answer. Since all of you have come here, I can tell you that each of your answers is a 'yes' and that you are ready to step into a new team. "I'm sorry Mr. Hale, but what do you mean exactly?" Robin asked in a friendly tone. Have you all read the letter carefully? Mr. Hale asked them. She all nodded. Good, he continued. Then you also know that there are some serious things going on in the world. Are you sure you want to form a new team with the four of you? How, wait a minute! said Alexa, startled. We will be the new team?! She pointed to Jane, Sky and Robin. Yes, said Mr. Hale shortly. Are you doing it or not? I do, said Jane. If we can really help, I'm willing to do so. She walked over to Mr. Hale and stood next to him. Okay, said Sky. "I'm in." He looked at Alexa and Robin and said, Come on, this seems super cool! The four of us in a team? Okay, Alexa said. But I still have to tell my mama I can't, said Mr. Hale shortly. Nobody should know about this. You are not allowed to talk to anyone about it and you must also stay away from home for a long time. "What?!" Robin almost exclaimed. How can we stay away from home without anyone noticing?! Just to be clear: I also have family that I have to take care of and I am sure that also applies to the others. Robin glared at Mr Hale. Right, said Mr. Hale briefly without looking at Robin. Mr. Hale turned to Jane. So I also have family to take care of and I'm sure the others will too. Robin glared at Mr Hale. Right, said Mr. Hale briefly without looking at Robin. Mr. Hale turned to Jane. So I also have family to take care of and I'm sure the others will too. Robin glared at Mr Hale. Right, said Mr. Hale briefly without looking at Robin. Mr. Hale turned to Jane. "I'm pretty sure you all have a story behind it and I can't just ask you this." He turned back to Robin and continued, "But I'm also pretty sure you came here with an answer to the letter we sent." "We?" asked Robin. "Yes, we," replied Mr. Hale. The abilities you possess are not the only reasons we chose you four. But I can't tell you right now and certainly not here. He took a step in Robin's direction but suddenly stopped. If you want to join the team, follow me. If you don't want to be on the team, go back home." Mr. Hale turned abruptly and walked away with great strides. Come on guys, said Sky suddenly. We can't leave him now. Yes, There are several things that happened in our past, I'm sure. But is that really the only reason why we let this opportunity pass us by? Sky looked at the three youths one by one. His gaze lingered on Alexa's face a little longer before he looked at Robin and Jane. "That's true," Alexa replied. We must be able to let go of the past. And I also know it's way too early to say this, but so am I." She looked at Jane and turned to Robin. He had his hands in his pockets and stood looking at the ground. Do you really think you are the only one having problems at home? His gaze lingered on Alexa's face a little longer before he looked at Robin and Jane. "That's true," Alexa replied. We must be able to let go of the past. And I also know it's way too early to say this, but so am I." She looked at Jane and turned to Robin.

Do you really think you are the only one having problems at home? Alexa asked bluntly causing Robin to look at her with an angry look. "New!" he almost exclaimed. "Of course not! But I do have a sister who is younger than me and who I have to take care of! Robin had slipped his hands from his pockets and now held them in fists at his sides. Jane quietly walked over to him. I know what happened to your parents, Robin. Don't you think something urgently needs to change in society? she said to him in a soft tone. Robin raised his head slowly and looked at her with tears in his eyes. Come with us. She turned and stood between Robin, Sky and Alexa. Let us change the world. We know what's wrong. We can do something about it ourselves," Jane said in a loud and commanding tone. She walked in the direction that Mr. Hale had walked, but turned around halfway through her step: "I don't know about you, but I want to do something about the world!" Sky, Alexa and Robin looked at her in silence. Jane rolled her eyes and said, Come on! Otherwise we don't know where to go!" She smiled at the three in front of her and turned to laugh. They kept walking until they saw Mr. Hale leaning against a tree. I thought you were never coming again, he said, still leaning against the tree. Good work, Jane. I think we made a good choice to appoint you as leader of the new team. He smiled kindly at Jane and moved away from the tree. Otherwise we don't know where to go!"

And of course we're also happy to have you on the team Sky, Mr. Hale told him with a small grin in his voice. Alexa gave a stifled giggle, causing Jane and Robin to laugh. What lies ahead of you is quite an adventure, Mr. Hale said when they had calmed down a bit. Keep that in mind. They walked in silence until they came to a large gate. It was more of a gate that would have resembled a medieval gate. There was a text written on the gate, but it was not so clear anymore because of all the leaves and branches that hung in front of it. Mr. Hale walked over to the gate and pushed aside the leaves and branches. Ad Infinitum Jane read aloud and a golden spark appeared in the gate. Mr. Hale walked to the gate and said, "In vino veritas!" The blue light grew brighter and suddenly formed a duration. If we're going to have to say a Latin proverb every time, you're going to have to teach me Latin first, Sky said suddenly. Alexa stamped his foot. "I'm going to kill you again, huh," she said, but continued to give more attention to Sky. Mr. Hale took the handles of the gate and pushed the gate open. White light from the moon shone through the gate. Mr. Hale took the handles of the gate and pushed the gate open. White light from the moon shone through the gate.

Mr. Hale turned to the four youths and said, "From now on, this will be your new home." He looked at the four with a crooked smile. Jane walked to the gate and was followed closely by Alexa. Wow, they both said at the same time. Robin and Sky stood behind them and looked through the gate at a wide expanse of landscape. Can we go in? asked Sky in amazement. Yes, said Mr. Hale. He walked over to them and entered the gate. Oh, and from now on it's Sam for you, he said over his shoulder to the four youths before they chased after them.
