"Well, I am not surprised that you feel concerned for your fellow students, I can assure that your comrades will be in good hands, we will be giving the school authority full access to our surveillance system" Thale explained.

"That will be all, thank you for your time sirs" Bruce said as he got up to leave.

"We are looking forward to seeing great things from you Bruce Devin" Leonard said.

As the boys left, Thale turned to his associate.

"You know the boy?" Thale asked.

"You have forgotten about him?" Leonard asked back.

"Let me give you a hint, gifted with computers, Alphite trivia champion five years in a row, formerly amongst top 10 most active child ambassador for Alphite Industries" Leonard explained.

"Wait, the boy who hacked your system by mistake?" Thale asked.

Dom asked."No, a lot of people would be heading to the gym and Elemental class to try buffing up for the selection next week and with my ability, crowds tend to be a problem" Angelo explained after some thought."Oh, I see it's a good ability though" Dom complimented."Are you implying that your's isn't?" Angelo asked throwing him a look."It doesn't seem to be for me, my brother who is much stronger than me and can go up against the kids in his grade" Dom replied."You don't seem to understand the power you have, have you heard of John Fuego?" Angelo asked."No, should I have?" Dom asked back."He was a famous hero when the war first started, he was just like you, a mage of light but the things this man could

Brandon asked."Nothing" She stated."What! why?" Brandon asked."Well, destroying it is out of question, deactivating it would definitely put Briam on high alert and in the possibility that he has another one we aren't aware of, touching this one would only alert them that they have been discovered" Miss Silver explained."I see your point, Luke could have one as well" Bruce said."So we just do nothing for the meantime?" Maya asked."Just focus on school, we won't make a move until we notice anything alarming" Miss Silver advised."Oh well, we have got that part figured out, though things will be different after Dom and Bruce go" Alex said."Be careful out there you two, just

Dom asked."Yeah, do you mind going for a run around the area, most the east and southern wing make sure to pass the front of every camera" Bruce replied with a slight frown."Is something wrong?" Dom asked."I'm not sure yet that's why I need you to go on the run or more of a fast paced stroll" Bruce replied.Dom jogged out of the room towards the east wing waving and smiling at the staffs he saw like he was out on a casual run.As he approached the edge of the south wing, he felt drawn to the top on an elevated plane surrounded by some trees."This places feels so serene" Dom said to himself

    After claiming the weapons, Bruce and Brandon walked back out of the respective rooms, hoping to thank the Sphinxes before leaving, but found the temple entirely empty."Where could they have gone?" 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

Brandon asked."Better than I should, where's Nicole?" Bruce said."He's flying behind us" Brandon replied."Flying? Oh my!!!" 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,
