As soon as, he opened his eyes he was in the empty space again,

"you have been busy" Ian said on seeing him.

"Yeah, there have been a couple of fights here and there" Brandon chuckled,

"So why haven't you evolved yet? you can't hold it back for Long and shouldn't try to either" Ian sad.

"Yeah, is there anything that happens during an evolution that i need to know, anything that might draw attention to me?" Brandon asked,

"Just make sure you aren't close to a gathering, now hurry on out" Ian said.

Brandon asked."Yeah, it's the same reason I can't get off this planet without any help" Nicole replied.A furrow appeared on Brandon's forehead, he recalled when Nicole mentioned not meeting any intelligent beings and considering how long it had been since the war started, he must have been trapped here for quite some time now."Ian, is there any way I can help him?" Brandon asked."Maybe, it's either part of his power got permanently sealed away, or a vampiric rune is inscribed on him" Ian replied."Also congrats on your latest evolution, you have unlocked some special skills or shall I say ability and also fully unlocked your zodiac affinity" Ian added.He didn't know why bu

Brandon asked."A better place, I hope" Bruce replied as he noticed the heaps of sand where the Sphinxes previously stood."Well, we have what we came here for; let's go,", Brandon said, swinging the staff by his side."Yeah, everything about the weapon feels worth it, even the design". Bruce said, admiring the intricate blue carvings that formed diagrams of every lightning-wielding supernatural; Brandon's staff had a similar look, the only difference being that his had fire-wielding supernatural with a beautiful red hue in addition to the orange colour.Noticing a new door, the pair stepped through to find themselves in a large hallway with drawings and writings of alien origin on both sides of the wall."Looks like an origin story of some sort," Bruce said."The drawings are so life-like

Bruce exclaimed gripping unto Brandon tight as he looked down."Relax, I have got you," Brandon said."Right, will we be able to make it in one night?" Bruce asked."I don't know" Brandon sighed.They flew for a few more hours, following the trail of light. There were a few occasional screeches and growls from below, but none could reach them; disappointed expressions appeared on their faces as the sun peeped from behind the sandy mountains."We should continue on foot. You guys can rest your wings, and I sort of need to take the piss", Bruce said.Spreading his senses around the areas, he landed,
