These three chapters begin where we last left off... obviously. Uncle Press is still explaining the concept of Solara to Bobby (yeah, it's pretty in-depth). He tells Bobby that Saint Dane is trying to bring complete chaos to Halla. (Halla is everyone and everything in all ten territories put together.) He wants to do this so that he can create and rule his own Halla using the negative energy of his followers, called the Ravinians. The only reason Solara is still alive is because of the positive energy from those who oppose Saint Dane.
Saying that, allow me to backtrack a little bit. In the previous book Saint Dane cunningly gathered about 70,000 people who opposed him into Yankee Stadium and sent them through a giant flume. These people are now known as exiles. It is their positive spirit that is keeping Solara alive.
Alright, back to the present. With the flumes currently destroyed, Uncle Press shows the ten young travelers that they can take a step and appear on whichever territory they choose. Knowing this, each of them take a step and go to their home territories, except for Bobby. He goes with Patrick Mac, another traveller, to Third Earth (which would be the future to us). They instantly run into noise and confusion from helicopter-like gunships shooting at people on the ground. They escape the commotion, but hear one of the guards talk about the Conclave of Ravinia (where Ravinians live). Bobby and Patrick decide that they must go to the Conclave.
Tune in next week to see what happens next!
