The story so far
Everything you need before watchingWhile Ian and Barley race through a dangerous waterway toward the Phoenix Gem, a spell-powered ride turns the mission into comic chaos. Then Ian realizes he is close to speaking with Dad and asks about his father’s old wizard name. Barley corrects the number of memories and finally explains the goodbye he avoided. The scene shifts from playful adventure to quiet regret without leaving its warmth.
