The person behind the door was a tall man, muscular, with long brown hair and thick eyebrows. It was someone Damian knew very well, and someone he missed.

"Bro!"

It was Magnus who bear hugged Damian right after he opened up the door.

"You are in good shape, bro. I am proud! You were hitting the gym even without me around," Magnus said, nodding his head, poking Damian's biceps.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"I wanted to surprise you. Is it true that we are part of an organization now? This sounds so fun."

"Yeah, we are. Let me just wash my face and we can go eat something."

Damian was still looking like shit, as he did not go to the bathroom before answering the door. So he went back and did a quick morning routine before leaving to eat something with Magnus.

They passed in Aurora's room, calling her out for lunch too! She was not that surprised to see Magnus, as they were both still attending to Garmony, but that was about to change.

The trio went to one restaurant nearby to eat lunch — it was already late, as both Damian and Aurora slept a lot.

"So, what is our first mission?" Magnus asked.

He was excited and Damian did not know if that was because he was in an organization now, or because he was leaving Garmony.

"School wasn't that great anymore. Some beast attacks now and then bandits, too. The students are gloomy if you ask me," Magnus said.

"The Fingers again?" Damian asked.

"Yes. I heard rumors they are after some type of key, and it was supposed to be inside Garmony, but principal Darius did not know what that was."

Of course. It had to have something related to the key. Now not only the demons from the underworld wanted it, but the shady organizations of the world too!

"My life's about to get so fun," Damian thought.

They ate their lunch, with Magnus and Aurora sharing more things that happened in Garmony after Damian left, and how Darius was looking for him. He wanted the Blood Stone, but Damian would not give it to him.

"The Dawn is building a headquarters near a small village of farmers, you know, to keep it hidden. We need to go there to meet with the others," Damian said.

"Others? Who?"

"Vanessa, Serana and Hazel."

"What? They are in this organization too? Do you trust Vanessa after what she did?" Aurora said.

"I do. She's helping a lot lately. Now, we need to leave as fast as possible," Damian said.

Aurora understood the reason behind such a hurry — the demon that was locked back inside the palace.

Magnus was still somewhat lost, and Aurora had promised to keep Damian's bloodline a secret, so they only said there was a powerful enemy looking for Damian.

"Who's not looking for my bro? He is a beast in causing trouble," Magnus said, laughing.

He was too calm based on the situation they were in. Damian linked that to the fact he did not see the actual power of that demon like they did.historical

Anyway, they left during the night, booking a flight to Jake Lake city, which was the nearest place to reach The Dawn's headquarters.

Everything happened fast, and before long, the trio was taking the boat to the nearby city to get onto the plane.

"We have a special flight with only superhumans inside. It will reach your destination quicker, and I can give you executive seats!" the flight attendant said.

When they arrived at the airport, they offered him a luxurious flight that would lead to the same destination, leave sooner, and reach it faster.

There was no reason to deny that! It only gave them benefits, and after a quick conversation, Damian, Aurora, and Magnus took that plane.

They were the three remaining people who would go on that plane, and after doing all the checkups, they went inside.

It was spacious inside, way different from the normal planes people took. Each person had its own cabin with plenty of food, a bed, and a TV.

"This is incredible. I am feeling like a king here," Magnus said.

Their cabins were close to each other, but they had to depart for a while, at least until the plane arrived at Jake Lake city.

Damian lied on the bed, turned on the TV, grabbed a few snacks, and relaxed. It was the first time he was going on such a luxurious flight, and he would enjoy every second.

Aurora and Magnus did the same — of course they did. Anyone would in that scenario.

Damian even used the free time to read more of his Necromancy Book, practicing his Bone Spear spell. There was no one near him, or cameras, so the privacy he needed was there for him.

The flight went smoothly until Damian noticed something strange. He looked through the window and saw the blue ocean. That was not supposed to be the case, as Jake Lake city was not near the ocean, and that was not the route the flight would take.

"What is happening here?" Damian thought.

He did not know if the plane went the wrong direction since the start. Damian, and everyone else inside that plane, were more busy relaxing or sleeping, as it was night already.

There wasn't much Damian could do in that scenario, only leave his cabin to speak with the pilot, asking what was happening, but as he tried to open the door, it did not work.

He pushed it harder, yet it was not working.

"What the fuck?"

Damian grabbed his phone and texted Aurora and Magnus, who were still awake, thankfully.

<I am seeing it too, bro. Why are we in the middle of the ocean?>

Aurora and Magnus tried to open their cabins as well, but it was locked, just like Damian's.

<What should we do now?>

They tried to come up with an idea, the three together, but before they could try anything, the plane shook, and the engine stopped.
