Later, he discovers there is much more to the mysterious artefact than meets the eye. Soon after, an alien confronts him, saying he has searched for the eye-stone (Ocellus) for trillions of years. He reveals that Ocellus, together with twelve other similar stones, is the source of all energy, matter and life, but trillions of years ago, evil creatures stole the thirteen stones and hid them across all the universes. Joshua naturally finds the alien's story too fantastic, so to prove his story, and promising no harm will come to him, the alien takes Joshua and his step-sister, Alessa, along with the stone, to his own universe where he becomes close friends with another alien his age. Together, they undertake a series of ever-more hazardous missions to help retrieve the missing stones. After one mission goes awry, the evil creatures attack and Joshua finds himself trapped in the other universe, where he discovers some information about Ocellus that calls into question everything the alien has told him. Can Joshua establish the truth about the thirteen stones? Can he help defeat the evil creatures, and bring peace to the universes? And can he ever find his way back to Earth? Immense in scope and deep in emotion, the story of Ocellus will live in the memory.
