They are warned off exploring but continue to do so and eventually discover that a great evil has been lurking in the bowels of the school for centuries. Jamie and his friends eventually do battle with this evil and drive it away but as it goes it vows revenge on the boy who has defeated him. As Jamie's power continues to grow the friends range further afield and make friends and enemies, some human, some not so human and some definitely not human at all. They confront evil wherever they find it but always at the back of Jamie's mind is the desire to finally conquer the great evil that was Golgoroth who he had driven from the school. Golgoroth meanwhile has found help after being driven from the school and recovers nursing a hatred for Jamie. Golgoroth's desire for revenge on Jamie escalates to the point where he wants to destroy not just the boy but all of humanity.
