Hi Everyone!
Clivo Wren here! Well, we found the immortal, but we’re not out of trouble yet! This is just the beginning of our work. The evil resistance is still out there and the cryptids are in more danger than ever. Not only do the Myth Blasters need help keeping their eye on what cranky Douglas and his minions are up to, but I need help traveling the world making sure the cryptids are safe. And maybe rescuing them if Douglas gets his grubby hands on any and throws them in cages again. Do you want to help us? If so, are you a catcher or a blaster? Be sure to check out LijaFisher.com for information on how to keep joining us on our adventures to save the world! And remember to keep the secret of the immortal safe—because the world needs its myths and its magic!
