The raging battle came to an abrupt stop as Anastasia and Avalon walked into the advanced training room.

"Did something happen?" Atticus asked, a bit confused as he caught the wide grin on Avalon's face. Avalon was usually easy to read, his expressions was always worn openly, which led Atticus to believe they were bringing good news.

"Guess what?" Avalon said, smiling as he approached Atticus and Magnus.

Atticus sighed. A thousand possibilities flashed through his mind, but he had no intention of guessing.

He turned towards Anastasia with a smile, glad she was there too. Though she loved teasing him, Anastasia rarely joined in on such games when it came to serious matters.

"The rewards for winning the Nexus have finally arrived," she said.

Atticus's eyes widened. "Really?" he asked, just to confirm.
