As soon as Atticus made his choice, he and Magnus left the training room, and Magnus immediately instructed the crew to head back toward the capital, where the elemental sanctums were located.
Dario, Amara, and many others wondered why they were returning, considering that Atticus had already graduated from each of the sanctums. However, when they asked Atticus, his response nearly gave them all a heart attack.
Domain!?
Many of the crew members, especially Amara, felt a sting in their hearts. They all knew that Atticus forming a domain was inevitable, but they never imagined he would attempt it so early.
None of them even considered the possibility that Atticus could fail. Everything he had set his eyes on so far had been accomplished, exceeding every expectation.
