With the Council's verdict, Sofia and her team refocused their efforts on stabilizing the realms. However, rumors began to spread about other hidden factions seeking to reclaim The Sovereign's legacy. These factions were led by former allies of The Sovereign, each with their own agenda and ambition to control the portals.
Leo, who had grown significantly in power, started to experience visions from the ancient artifact that had granted him his unique abilities. These visions hinted at a deeper connection between the artifacts and the portals, suggesting that the portals themselves were linked to a greater force that was yet to be understood.
Sofia and her team followed the trail of these new factions, uncovering clues that led them to ancient ruins where The Sovereign had once conducted experiments with the portals. The ruins were filled with traps and ancient guardians, providing a challenging environment for the Reclaimers to navigate.
