The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter the resurrection spell finally works, Ian and Barley rush in to meet their father—only to discover that he has returned as a pair of legs. They have until sunset tomorrow to find another Phoenix Gem and try again. While Barley turns the disaster into a quest, Ian worries about failing. The scene mixes frantic sibling banter, fantasy vocabulary, and a tender list of things Ian wants to do with Dad.
