“All of you are worthy to join her quest. We need you!” said the ghost lady in their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends at University of the Philippines get an invitation to join a mythology class meeting off-campus, and their teachers are time travelers from the past!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicole’s thesis about the myth of Bathala’s creation of the worlds – human and mystical – was slammed by her professors, but now she learns it’s true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now enkantos have been released into our world, some benign and others incredibly evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A perilous transfer has gone wrong, and the most dangerous foul-mouthed enkantos are gathering beneath the largest shopping mall in Manila to begin their reign of terror!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s up to these students to learn how to fight and capture all kapres<\/a> to be returned to their spirit world – by spear and arrow, dance and music, knowing when to challenge and when to flee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lane’s telepathic skills get just a little better, Nicole is amazed by legendary Kubin’s emergence from myth into now as a young warrior, and Gina allows herself to be convinced by a tiny kapre that it should stay right here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A super-concert at the mall? Uh-oh\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout all the training and chases and battles, Rey and Misha keep quarreling, each hoping the other will apologize so they can get back together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arre introduced the Mythology Class characters in 1999, later collecting all issues into this omnibus edition; Tuttle Publishing has brought the full 2014 version across the Pacific for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What mythological being would you be brave enough to meet?
