Elyssia, Nova, and Calypso were deep in a private discussion when they called Hacora over to join them. Elyssia spoke first, her voice filled with urgency. "There is one celestial who might know about the Gods. His name is Wanderian. He is one of the oldest beings in the universe and remembers everything."
The group knew they had to find Wanderian, but locating him would not be easy. Wanderian had chosen to live in seclusion, and only a few people knew where he resided. Determined, the four of them embarked on a journey across the universe, hoping to find the elusive celestial.
Elyssia mentioned that a species called the Emphians were very close to Wanderian and that he used to visit them regularly. With this lead, they set their course for Emphora, the planet of the Emphians. Upon arrival, they began asking the inhabitants for information. However, their efforts seemed in vain as everyone they spoke to had only heard stories about Wanderian from millions of years ago.
Weeks passed with no luck. The search grew increasingly desperate until they met Gendora, the oldest and one of the few immortal Emphians alive. Gendora greeted them with a knowing smile and revealed that Wanderian had been a great friend to the Emphians, often staying with them for centuries. However, millions of years ago, he had chosen to live in seclusion, only allowing a select few to visit him.
Hacora and Nova pleaded with Gendora to share Wanderian's location, but he was adamant about keeping it a secret. It was only when Elyssia mentioned their need to find the Gods that Gendora's demeanor changed. Shocked, he realized that Wanderian had instructed him to allow only those who spoke of the Gods to find him.
Gendora led them to a distant planet, shrouded in mystery and tranquility, where Wanderian resided. As they approached, they saw Wanderian sitting in peace, surrounded by friends he had created over the millennia.
Elyssia and Calypso stepped forward, introducing themselves. Wanderian's eyes twinkled with ancient wisdom as he asked why they had come. Hacora then told him everything—about their transformation, Zenus's betrayal, and their desperate quest to restore Planticia.
Wanderian listened intently, his expression contemplative. He finally spoke, "The Gods never meet anyone. They do not interfere in the order of the universe unless it is on the brink of destruction. They created this universe and exist outside of it, beyond everyone's reach."
Disappointment washed over Hacora and the others. The hope they had clung to seemed to slip away. They asked Wanderian if he could teach them the ancient art of power manipulation, but he refused, stating that such knowledge was too dangerous.
Despite Wanderian's refusal, they stayed with him, hoping to learn something that might help. Days turned into weeks, and their persistence wore down Wanderian's resistance. One evening, while the stars shimmered above, Wanderian finally spoke again.
"You are determined," he said. "And determination is a powerful force. While I cannot teach you the full extent of power manipulation, I can offer you guidance."
Wanderian shared ancient stories and fragments of wisdom. He taught them how to harness their inner strength and channel their collective energy. Although not the full mastery they sought, it was enough to give them hope and a renewed sense of purpose.
As Zenus's forces grew stronger, the universe braced for the impending clash. Both sides prepared meticulously, knowing that the battle would determine the fate of countless worlds. The Plantonians and their allies, now bolstered by Wanderian's guidance, steeled themselves for the conflict ahead, their hope rekindled by the ancient wisdom they had gained.
