Chapter 101 Reunited With Friends (1)
The answers would be forever lost after the Duke's death, but Damian was still curious about the mysteries surrounding Glen's son, the one who got lost in the dungeon.
So, he wanted to find other ways to get the answers, and perhaps helping Glen find his son would become a way better decision after knowing that
"Does his family know about something, or are they also lost?" Damian thought.
Damian still did not know if these secrets Glen's son had were true, or if his family knew something about it, either. Maybe the Duke was just spitting bullshit before dying.
Anyway, there was no way of telling what was true and what was not, and Damian stood there, thinking about his next moves. He was safe there, as almost no one knew the location of the hidden shack, but the best course of action would leave the area as fast as possible.
Someone would eventually find the shack, and Damian could not be left with any clue that he was 'responsible' for the Duke's death. Also, monsters were still attacking the castle, and he wanted to get back there to help them.
But before leaving, Damian grabbed his phone, and called Neil, who answered in no time, "how is the situation there, Damian?"
"The duke and his daughter are dead. I was hiding here, but I will return to the castle now," he said.
Neil was surprised after hearing that, but had no time to say anything as Damian disconnected the call. There was no time to lose, so he left the cabin and flew toward the Hartnor's castle.
It took him less time to return by flying than by using a car. That was because the roads in the area weren't good, so it was impossible to drive fast in a car with all the mud and holes on the roads. The price to pay to live in a secluded area.
Damian flew above forests and rivers, feeling the frosty night breeze touching his face, and the rejuvenating moonlight touching his body.
His hair flew with it, and everywhere he looked from up there, a breathtaking view awaited him! It was just incredible. The best part about flying.
Another thing Damian noticed was his speed, which was way faster. He had been constantly using his Telekineses, so his control over the ability had increased by a lot, and that resulted in a faster flying speed too. It gave him a delightful feeling of improvement, and the ability to control of a superhuman was one of the most important aspects, if not the most.
"Maybe I should focus more on learning the things in the Necromancy Book."
That was one thing Damian had in mind, especially after he left the castle, as that would give him more private time with no guards, servants, or other people watching his moves.
Speaking of the castle, it soon entered his view, and there were many beasts bodies scattered all over the courtyard. Some windows were broken too. The fight that happened there was a bloody one, and all the guards of the castle quickly saw Damian approaching the castle's gate, and some were even attacking him, but soon realizing it was someone they knew.
"It is you! Neil said you were coming. Come," one guard said.
They were cleaning the beast's bodies, trying to make the castle more presentable. Damian went straight to the main room to meet up with Glen and Neil, who were happy to see him back!
"Damian! Thank the leader of our organization for doing such a great thing for us," Glen said as he walked toward Damian, hugging him.
He was happy now that the Duke, someone who plotted against him and his family, was dead.
Neil could tell Damian was troubled by the situation, so he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "don't worry, no danger will get to you. We will keep our word and help you, and The Dawn."
"Thanks. It means a lot to me. But guys, can you find someone to help me with this?" Damian said as he pulled his cloak to the side, showing a nasty wound on his abdomen.
"Why did not you tell this before?"
They dragged him into the room of the castle's doctor, who took care of his wound, stitching it back together. It hurt a lot, but nothing Damian could not handle.
He went to his room afterward to rest, and he stayed there, recovering inside the castle, for around one week. After one week, Damian was feeling better already, and he wanted to leave to go meet his friends.
"If you found anything about your son, let me know and I will try to help you! I will also try to find something." Damian said.
The things the Duke said about Glen's son were a secret. He wanted to figure it out, so Damian decided to not share it with them, as that could bring him more harm than good.
They were all there, waving goodbyes to him. Astrid was the one who looked the most sad, but she was also shy, so the two did not hug or anything like that.
"Good bye, everyone," Damian said as he entered a car, leaving the area.

Damian returned to Jake Lake City, and from there, went to the airport, looking for a ticket to an island, the place where Aurora was spending her vacation on.
It was a long flight, but his money bought him the most luxurious seat, making it more bearable. After thirteen hours of flight, Damian reached an archipelago, a well-known place where the rich people often spend their vacation.
He grabbed his phone, sending a message to Aurora to know her exact location. Damian had yet to tell he had left the castle, as he wished to surprise her.
<What? You are here already?>
<Yes. Can you meet me at the airport?>
<I am coming!>
The island where Aurora was had to be accessed by boat, so Damian waited in a nearby city, excited to meet up with his friends again!
