A few days later, when Daniel, along with the other traveling students of his group, went back to his planet, he had received the news that a second outcast of Iewah's faction had appeared.
This time, however, there was something different. Instead of simply acknowledging his existence after kicking him out of their protective scope, an additional order had been given. A direct order from Iewah, which dictated that, whomever happened to cross paths with the one called the Brutal, would have to do all they could to kill him.
"How are you two doing?" Asked Daniel to Aeron and Edmund, who were sitting one in front of the other in one of the training grounds built specifically for Daniel's strongest companions. The latter was trying to get used to his new power, while the former, was cautiously weakening his protection over Edmund's mind in order to allow him to limit the experience to a bearable level.
