Legacies

Invisique saeclum.

Hope?

Landon?

MG had the ascendant this whole time. I used it to come find you.

I knew you were alive. I could just feel it.

I don't understand. There's nothing there.

What? What do you want me to see? Just say it.

Landon?

Landon?

Hold on, okay? I'm gonna get us out of here.

Ventus.

Hope?

Hope? Hope!

Hope, stop!

Sorry. I guess I was dreaming.

About murdering me with a tornado?

No. I think Landon was trying to send me a message,

but something wouldn't let him.

What sort of message?

That he's alive.

Gates are a common symbol in dreams.

They represent thresholds in life.

An open gate signifies an entry point into a new beginning,

while a closed gate usually means there's something holding you back.

I keep telling you, this was more than a dream.

It felt real, like a vision. I don't know.

Moving on is not the answer. Finding Landon is.

Which I would have done sooner

if MG hadn't been hiding this thing the whole time.

I agree. He should've been more honest with us.

I also understand why he wasn't.

Prison world is crawling with monsters,

and if our leprechaun friend is any indication,

more might be coming for this.

The ascendant is a key.

Malivore's way out.

- And my way in. - Ah.

Not until we have credible proof that Landon is still alive.

Sometimes a dream is just a dream, Hope, no matter how real it feels.

I can't let you and everyone else go risk their life

based on a gut feeling.

Fine. Have it your way.

Where are you going?

To get your damn proof.

Hey. Is this seat taken?

Okay. Guess so.

Boys. Nice to see some friendly faces.

Seriously, Jed? After what you did, you're gonna dis me like this?

Look, dude, you're an even bigger pariah around here than I am.

So as much as I appreciate you taking the heat off me,

I-I can't.

You coming?

Sorry, MG, but, uh,

what you did to Hope and my boy Landon was messed-up.

Yo, Kaleb.

Need, uh, a hand with whatever this is?

It's salt.

Doc's going full Pokémon since that leprechaun showed up.

And now he's got me setting up monster traps all around campus

to try to catch the next one when it shows up, so...

Right. Whoa.

Sounds like a job for two vampires.

Or a job for one vampire and one witch. I asked Cleo to help.

So I guess everyone's just pissed at me.

Can you blame 'em?

I mean, what you did... total dick move.

Agree to disagree.

But either way, I thought you'd still have my back.

How the hell am I supposed to do that with you being all two-faced, MG?

I will say one thing about this school.

It has an abundance of candles.

You ready to go, Kaleb, or do you two need a moment?

Um... nah.

Nah, uh... we're done for now.

I understand why you want to go charging into Mordor,

but we don't even know if Frodo is still alive.

If you don't want to be a part of the Fellowship, there's the door.

I promised my dad that I would help you

and be your supernatural fact-checker,

but I want you to manage your expectations, Hope.

I know you, and you'll keep looking whether we find proof or not.

I'll burn that bridge once I come to it.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Afraid of what, exactly?

None of your business. Aren't you late for class?

Uh, I was just looking for my chemistry textbook.

- Could've swore I left it here, so... - Oh, yeah, in Landon's room.

- Nice try, Nosey Josie. - Fine. I heard about the ascendant.

You're clearly doing a spell.

And if it's about Landon, I mean, I can help.

Mm-hmm.

That was rude.

I'll say.

My sister's supposed to be all about that Muggle life,

not snooping around witchy stuff.

And the last time that she "helped," she shattered the Sandclock,

became Darth Pigtails and damn near burned down this school,

so ixnay on the magic talk around her.

Works for me. I have a feeling dealing with one Saltzman sister

is gonna be hard enough today.

That's the spirit. Now let's get this over with.

L'agbara ina yi, o le loh.

L'agbara ina yi, o le loh.

L'agbara ina yi, o le loh.

Yo, that was hot.

You must say that to all the witches.

It is done.

If a monster enters this space, it will be unable to leave it.

Or any of the others we have consecrated.

Cool.

In that case, uh, pull up a cushion.

Can get to know each other a little better while we wait.

There is something I would like to know.

All right.

What was going on between you and MG earlier?

It's a Super Squad thing, a'ight?

You wouldn't understand 'cause you ain't Squad.

But I do know what it feels like to be at odds with a friend.

Hope remains upset with me for what I did to that leprechaun,

and I am at a loss how to fix it.

Yeah, I hear that.

MG... he's the homey, you know?

I swore I'd always have his back.

Then he made me vow to never give up on Landon,

which is before the truth about him hiding the ascendant came out.

Now that it has...

It seems you cannot keep one vow without breaking the other.

Boom.

So... unless there's some third option I'm not seeing,

I'm-a just stay Switzerland till I can figure something out.

I have an idea.

Well, at least one thing is clear.

You certainly put the "ass" in "astral projection."

If Landon had left you a message,

why haven't MG or I seen it on any of our recon missions?

That's what we're here trying to figure out,

so maybe try helping.

You know, you're not the only one

who lost a boyfriend in a tragic prison world mishap.

So you want to compare losses now?

I guarantee you that's not a fair fight.

We're comparing blind spots, and you definitely have one for Landon.

Just like I had one for Sebastian.

I couldn't see things clearly like everyone else.

I was in so deep.

That's it.

You've astral projected here before.

So you can tell me the things that I'm not seeing.

Anything that's changed.

I'm telling you, there is nothing diff...

Wait. This is new.

It looks like a note or...

A message.

But it's not there anymore. Maybe a gargoyle ate it?

Or the wind blew it away. I mean, that thing could be anywhere.

Not really.

Every day in a prison world is the same day, right?

Which means the wind always does the same thing.

Look.

See?

Helpful.

"To whom it may concern..."

That's super impersonal. That doesn't sound like Landon to me.

Would you get down here and help me read the next line?

"My name is Landon Kirby."

I knew it.

Lizzie, he's alive. This is proof.

Then let's get home so I can give you a tissue.

Maybe even a hug.

Okay, now that we have proof Landon's alive,

and we have the ascendant at our disposal,

we're going after him.

Sorry I'm late. Would have helped if someone told me

there was gonna be a Super Squad meeting.

Luckily for us, there's a planetary transit tonight,

which we can use to power the ascendant.

Hold on, you guys are going to the prison world?

Dr. Saltzman, that's way too risky. We need more time.

Well, if you hadn't been lying to us this whole time,

we might have had more time to prepare.

Everyone, relax. MG's right. It's not ideal.

When's the next celestial event?

Not for another month.

If you think I'm waiting that long, think again.

Where do you think Landon is, exactly?

We don't know. Once we are physically in the prison world,

then we can do a locator spell.

In a world with hungry monsters trying to tear us limb from limb,

I probably look like a hot dog to them.

I agree with all of you, for a change.

Which is why this incredibly dangerous mission

has to be conducted on a purely voluntary basis.

MG, I think we know where you stand.

Enough talk. Who's with me?

You know I'm not.

So please, at least let me try to explain why.

I get that you're pissed.

And I apologize for breaking your trust.

But you also know me,

and you know there's nothing I wouldn't do
