With The Overseer's warning fresh in their minds, Sofia and her team reached out to potential allies among the Reclaimers and the Council. Despite the division among the leadership, there were many who believed in restoring the natural balance of the portals, rather than exploiting them for power.
Sofia arranged a meeting with key Reclaimers, including former adversaries who had come to respect her team's dedication. The meeting took place in a secluded location, away from the Council's prying eyes, to discuss their plan to find the ancient artifacts and restore the portals.
Among the attendees were Drake Stoker, the former antagonist who had learned the error of his ways, and Evelyn Torres, a healer with a strong moral compass. They, along with other Reclaimers, agreed to work together to prevent the catastrophe that The Overseer had warned about.
During the meeting, Leo shared his visions, describing the ancient artifacts and their significance in restoring balance. The group agreed to split into smaller teams to cover more ground and increase their chances of success. This alliance marked a turning point, as Reclaimers from different backgrounds united for a common goal.
