"It doesn't get power from belief or being named, it doesn't feed off of anything," Jack explained. "That's the problem. It just...is. It draws its power from itself. The reason it kidnapped the other myths for their power isn't to take it for himself, it's to use it to open the door even more so that someday it can come all the way into this world. The more it gets in, the more power it has here. We can stop it by shutting the door again but that's easier said than done."

He went on, "There are some other myths we can maybe ask for help, but at this point, most of the myths left aren't powerful enough or they probably won't be willing to work with us. We can try but there are no guarantees."

To Al, he said, "An ancient doesn't-give-a...hoot-either-way? What do you mean by that?"
