Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: The Increased Bond 2.

..

He looked at Marcus, considering.

Staying at the central hall was an option, but it would mean crowded spaces, no privacy, and constant noise. He hated noises. Staying with Marcus, on the other hand, gave him a bit of stability—at least for now.

Finally, he nodded.

Damian Derulo "Alright… thank you."

Marcus smiled—genuinely, warmly—as if relieved.

Marcus Hale "Anytime."

Damian sat quietly in the modest room, the soft creak of the old bed beneath him the only sound that dared disturb the silence. Marcus had stepped out moments earlier, saying he was off to meet with the others—apparently, they planned to explore the less frequented outskirts of the city, curious about what lay beyond the obvious. Damian hadn't responded much at the time, only giving a small nod in acknowledgment. His thoughts were elsewhere, and Marcus knew better than to pry.

The room, though simple, had a comforting sense of familiarity. Four bunk beds, two on opposite sides.

Damian sat hunched on the bed, elbows resting on his knees, his breathing slow and steady. Beside his foot lay his duffle bag, packed with the few 'essentials' he had taken since the chaos and his share of rewards from the dungeon. Just to his right, propped neatly against the side of the bedframe, was his bade.

He exhaled through his nose and turned his attention to his left arm, more specifically, the jet-black tattoo etched into his forearm. It pulsed faintly, the ink swirling ever so subtly beneath the skin, alive in a way that defied logic. Gently, he pressed his fingers to it. The moment contact was made, a soft hum resonated through his body, and a translucent screen shimmered into view before him like a specter pulled from the void.

Damian narrowed his eyes at the familiar text. 'No new changes...' he thought, the faintest sigh slipping from his lips. It wasn't disappointment, exactly—more like anticipation not yet met. Still, there was one thing he had yet to examine in detail.

'Let's take a closer look at the Tenebrous Covenant.'

At his mental command, the interface flickered and refocused. A subtle pulse echoed through the bond as more detailed information unraveled before him.

[ Resonance Expansion: Tenebrous Covenant ]

---

A bond forged in primordial darkness, linking the souls of the bonded pair. The strength of this connection evolves over time, granting various benefits:

1. Shadowbound Awareness – A permanent link allows Damian and Nyxeris to always sense each other's presence. The closer they are, the more precise the sensation becomes, down to their exact movements and emotional state. However, if far apart, the awareness fades to a vague directional pull, giving only a general idea of distance and location.

2. Ability Synchronization – The bond allows for a gradual exchange of power. In the early stages, this manifests as an intuitive understanding of each other's Facets. As the bond strengthens, they can begin to use each other's powers freely, with Nyxeris borrowing Damian's strength, and Damian wielding her shadow-based Facets. At the peak of synchronization, they may even perform combined techniques.

3. Umbral Echo – A failsafe mechanism within the bond, activating whenever one of them is in danger. The other will feel an instinctual, almost primal pull towards their location, accompanied by flashes of emotions, images, or even a single spoken word from their partner. The stronger the bond, the more vivid and immediate these signals become.

4. Subspace Seal: The Umbral Sanctum - Through the seal, Nyxeris may retreat into a subspace realm -the umbral sanctum- a pocket dimension forged within the tattoo itself.

Damian Derulo exhaled softly, a quiet breath of relief slipping past his lips as his thoughts reaffirmed what he'd just seen.

Damian Derulo 'I was right,' he mused inwardly, feeling a small sense of reassurance. But his curiosity stirred again almost immediately. 'Now the real question is… how do I bring her out?'

He glanced down at the tattoo on his forearm—an intricate black design that shimmered with a faint, almost imperceptible darkness. It pulsed lightly, as though it were breathing.

'Maybe if I say her name?' he thought, unsure. He hesitated, then decided to try the simpler form.

"Nyxi," he said aloud, softly.

Nothing happened. The tattoo remained still.

Damian blinked, tilting his head slightly in confusion. "Huh… okay, maybe the full name?"

"Nyxeris Umbra." 

The moment the full name passed his lips, the tattoo responded. A ripple passed through it like a disturbance across water. The ink shimmered darkly, and then—unsettlingly—the center of the mark began to shift. Slowly, something emerged from within the tattoo itself, as if it were slithering from beneath his skin.

It was a disturbing but oddly mesmerizing sight.

A small serpent-like creature slid out of the mark, her midnight blue scales glinting faintly in the low light. She was a little longer than his forearm, her sleek, bluish body curling around his wrist in a fluid, practiced motion. As her upper body lifted, she fixed her glowing, round dark silver eyes on him, her expression unreadable—but the tilt of her head and slow blink of her eyes almost seemed to say: "Why have you summoned me?"

Damian rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Ah—well, you sort of vanished, and I didn't know where you went, so..." he trailed off, his words tapering into awkward silence.

*Hiss*

A short, sharp sound of acknowledgment—or maybe mild annoyance—escaped her.

Damian chuckled lightly. "At least you're alright," he murmured, before his eyes shifted to the now-visible status screen hovering in the air before him. "Looks like this 'Tenebrous Covenant' has more depth than I realized. It said the bond evolves with time… which probably means we'll unlock more features as it strengthens," he reasoned thoughtfully.

Nyxi—seemingly content that he was no longer 'panicking'—slithered up his arm and gently curled herself around his neck like a living necklace. Her body was cool but comforting against his skin.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of Damian's lips. 'She's... soo adorable,' he thought fondly.

With a simple swipe of his hand, the floating interface vanished, and he turned his attention back to the duffle bag lying on the floor beside the bed. Leaning down, he unzipped it and rummaged around inside, eventually pulling out a familiar item—the plain white hospital gown he'd been wearing earlier.

He held it up for a moment, examining the material before gripping it firmly along the edge. With a low grunt of effort, he tore a long strip from it, roughly three inches wide. The fabric resisted slightly, but it tore cleanly enough under his strength.

'I guess I really am stronger than before,' Damian noted, mildly impressed at how effortlessly it came apart.

He folded the larger piece and stuffed it back into the bag before turning his attention to the strip. Carefully, he began to wrap it around his left forearm, concealing the tattoo beneath the makeshift bandage. He pulled it snug, tying it off securely. The goal wasn't to suppress anything—just to keep curious eyes from staring too long.

Once he finished, he gave it a final inspection.

"Let's hope this works," he muttered, then lightly pressed a finger against the cloth—directly where the center of the tattoo rested beneath.

In response, the Origin Interface blinked to life once more, confirming that the connection wasn't obstructed.

"Perfect," Damian murmured. "I was thinking I'd have to leave a gap uncovered if it didn't work. Good to know that's not necessary."

Reaching up, he gently tried to scratched beneath Nyxi's chin. But she turned away suspiciously. Damian pulled back his hand slowly.

'Origin Status,' Sighing, Damian called out mentally.

The screen shifted again, this time displaying his own stats:

Damian hummed under his breath, scanning the interface with a narrowed gaze. "Hmm, nothing new. Still at Echo rank. Wonder what the next tier is—and how close I am to reaching it..."

Slipping his hand into his pocket, he pulled out his phone—the one Zayne had passed to him before leaving. The screen was cracked and barely responsive. It had seen better days.

'At least the protective case held up... kind of,' Damian thought, making a mental note to get both replaced soon. He powered it down and tucked it away again.

Turning back to the duffle bag, Damian was just about to pull out the Relic he'd chosen as his reward from the dungeon when the door swung open.

Footsteps. Words. The subtle rustle of gear.

The rest of the group had returned—Marcus, Kai, Sofia, and Hannah entered together, energy still buzzing around most of them from whatever adventure they'd just come from.

Damian instinctively straightened his posture, slipping back into his calm, collected demeanor as Kai stepped forward.

Kai Renji "Hey, Marcus says we've already met, though I guess, somehow we don't remember." Kai said, as he offered a friendly hand.

Damian Derulo " Yeah, that seems to be the case... " Damian said as he let go of Kai's hand. Glancing from Kai to the others. ' I was right, they did become a little more attractive ' Damian thought, noting the slightly obvious change.

He had noticed Marcus's enhanced looks but dubbed as the absence of his glasses, after all it wasn't uncommon for someone to became more attractive when they don't wear their usually worn glasses. Kai and the others took a sit opposite him save for Marcus who sat on the same bed with him.

Kai Renji " I see… To be honest, I'm finding this hard to believe. From what Marcus said, we all came here together from the outskirts. Then you left after we 'messed' with you, and a few days later, we forgot you even existed? Is that right? "

He spoke calmly, though some skepticism laced his voice. Sofia, on the other hand, stared at Damian with visible suspicion.

Damian Derulo ' *Sigh* I really don't wanna be here. ' " From what Marcus said, that's right, " Damian calmly. " I take it you don't believe him "

Kai Renji " …It's not that I don't believe him. It's just… hard to believe. Do you have any idea what might've caused the memory loss? " kai asked.

Damian Derulo " ... *Sigh* I'm not entirely sure, but I have a feeling it has to do with where I was. " Damian said after some thought.

Kai Renji " Oh? And where might that be? " Kai asked curiously, Damian glanced at the others and noticed the same curious look on their faces.

Damian Derulo " A dungeon, " Damian answered, His answer immediately piqued everyone's interest—even Sofia's. Seeing the questions forming, Damian raised a hand. 

"I won't go into the details, but I—we—spent three days in the dungeon. From what I've gathered, though, a month passed outside. I think that dungeon might have something to do with your memory loss."

They all looked stunned.

Marcus Hale " Wait wait, hold on. That's not enough context. You found a dungeon? And what—three days inside, a month outside? You can't just drop something like that and move on like it's normal! " He looked at Damian, completely bewildered.

Damian was about to respond when he noticed Hannah blinking rapidly, eyebrows furrowed.

Hannah Lee " Huh? Damian? Wait! Oh my gosh, I remember! " She gasped, covering her mouth with her hand.

Kai Renji " Hannah, are you okay? " He reached out to steady her, concern etched on his face.

No one noticed Marcus's jaw clench tightly as he stared at Kai's hand on her, no one aware of his thoughts.

Hannah Lee " Yeah I'm fine, it's just... I remember " Hannah before glancing at Damian.

Kai Renji " Remember? " Kai asked before glancing at Damian. 

Hannah Lee " Yes I remember, Damian came here with us a month ago, I remember him lending us a hand when were about to be overwhelmed by zombies " She looked visibly guilty. ' How could I forget our benefactor? ' 

Sofia Hayes " I've had enough of this " Sofia said, before she summoned a small fireball that hovered threateningly above her hand and pointed it at Damian.

In response, Damian's hand moved toward his sword, ready for a fight.

" Who are you and what did you do to Hannah!? " Her glare was unwavering.

Marcus immediately stood and placed himself between the two, shielding Damian from Sofia's attack range.

Marcus Hale " Sofia, calm down. I told you, the memories take time to return. " Marcus said, in an attempt to calm her.

Sofia Hayes " Then you're a fool, I've been quiet all this time because I've been thinking about your story, don't you find it strange that humans, enhanced humans just forgot someone—and then suddenly started remembering them? " She looked poised to attack.

Hannah remained silent, sorting through her returning memories and Kai stood up with a questioning look at Sofia.

Kai Renji " What do you mean? " Kai asked with a puzzled look.

Sofia Hayes " Mind control " Her words brought a heavy, chilling silence into the room.

Damian Derulo ' I really hate this girl ' Damian thought coldly as he centered himself, ready for anything, and unknown to the others, the thick black 'necklace' around Damian's neck moved it's upper body at the ready to constrict anyone that makes any sudden movement against her owner.

Marcus with frowned eyebrows glared at sofia. " I told you to calm down, think, Sofia, if it's mind control, how would you explain the presence of his duffle bag? " Marcus asked, trying to calm his rising rage.

Sofia Hayes " He must have planted it here after we left with the sergeant, Marcus I can't believe you're trusting a total stranger, I'm disappointed " Sofia said with a condescending look.

This made Marcus snap. " Shut the fuck up! You, of all people, don't get to be disappointed—you backstabbing bitch! " Marcus said with anger. Another thick silence swallowed the room.

Sofia Hayes " What did you just call me? " She stared at him in shock.

Marcus Hale " I called you a backstabbing bitch, what? Did I strike a nerve? " Marcus said glaring at her.

Kai Renji " Marcus stop, that is no way to talk to- " Kai said in threatening tone but was cut off by Marcus.

Marcus Hale " Oh look, the partner in crime has come to the rescue, do you think I don't know what you two did? I saw you that night " Marcus said glancing between the two with mild disgust.

Kai's blood ran cold and color drained from his face as the word left Marcus mouth, with a shocked expression on his face. Sofia wasn't any better, though she showed a calm expression, her mind was in a spiral of chaos as the fire ball deactivated, slowly bringing back the normal room temperature.

Hannah Lee "Babe… what is he talking about?"

She looked at Kai, confusion written across her face—but he gave no reply.

At that moment, the rest of their forgotten memories returned, but neither Kai nor Sofia had the capacity to think clearly.

Damian Derulo ' What the hell? what's with this drama? ' He felt more like a bystander than a participant, which by-the-way is how he preferred it to be.

Marcus Hale " Oh, he won't tell you, but I will " Marcus said looking at Hannah. His words made Kai's heart rate to spike and as Marcus was about to continue, the room door opened up to show Hustin and Amy as they stepped in.

Hustin Bright " Wow it's hot in here, " He said before noticing the situation. " Uhh did we interrupt something? "

Marcus clicked his tongue and stormed out of the room, Damian took his stuff and walked out as well, though he took a different path.

[ Location: Fort Sentinel – Central Hall ]

POV: Third Person

Time: 3:23 PM 

--

In the cavernous Central Hall of Fort Sentinel, a hum of activity buzzed like an unending current. Soldiers clanked by in mismatched armor, civilians in scavenged gear bartered over rations, or paced with purpose. But far off in a shadowed discrete corner—one of the few spots where the noise dulled and the crowd thinned—sat Damian Derulo, arms folded and back slouched against the cold, cracked wall.

The term "discrete" might have been generous. Really, it was just the least congested pocket of chaos. Damian had originally intended to step outside, hoping for a breeze, a break, something—but when he realized he had no destination in mind, he settled here instead. It was better than aimless wandering.

His eyes followed the ebb and flow of the crowd, noting how much the world had changed in such a short span of time. "People," if one could still call them that, walked about—some with skin that shimmered like polished copper or glowed faintly blue under the lighting. Others bore animalistic features: fur-covered limbs, tusks, reptilian tails, or eyes that gleamed like predatory gems. A few towered a full two feet taller than him, moving with unnatural grace.

Damian frowned slightly.

'The world really has changed,' he mused, a weight pressing behind his thoughts.

What struck him most wasn't the strangeness—it was the consistency. Even with all their bizarre Resonances, these people were... aesthetic. Not conventionally attractive perhaps, but sharp-jawed, smooth-skinned, and oddly symmetrical in ways evolution didn't typically grant so uniformly.

'I wonder if my appearance has changed,' Damian thought idly, fighting the urge to glance at his reflection in the steel panel beside him, but eventually caved and looked, he saw nothing almost like a folklore Vampire that had no reflection.

' Ah, right, the hollow veil prevent's me from being visible on reflective surfaces ' Damian thought, before turning his attention elsewhere. It was hard not to stare at the eye catching features of the people around him when the person seated closest to him had striped orange skin and twitching tiger ears—not to mention a tail that coiled with every impatient sigh.

A long, heavy breath left him.

'I'm so jealous of you, Nyxi.' The thought surfaced uninvited, tinged with frustration.

Somewhere along the chaos of his walk to the hall, Nyxi had silently slithered back into the tattoo on his arm, retreating from the overwhelming noise. Her absence left a strange emptiness in his mind. 'If only I had a pocket dimension to disappear into... That'd be perfect.'

As if agreeing with him, his stomach gave a long, low growl.

' Still hungry…'

He winced, rubbing his abdomen. The idea of returning to the cafeteria crossed his mind, but hesitation held him back. Could he even go more than once a day? He wasn't sure. He could just ask Marcus, but...

'Ugh, I don't wanna talk to that guy. He never shuts up. And there's whatever that awkward thing going on between him and the others is…'

He let out another exasperated sigh, sinking further into himself. 'Why can't anything be simple?'

Another pang of envy twisted through him. Nyxi didn't need to worry about rations. 'What does she even eat?' he wondered.

His mind drifted to the memory of her fangs piercing his finger during their first meeting in the dungeon. He grimaced. 'God, I hope I'm not a food source…' Though, deep down, he had a few guesses.

Time crawled.

He sat for several more minutes, eyes fluttering closed now and then—only to snap open again when someone nearby let out a laugh or dropped a crate. Eventually, frustrated beyond measure, Damian jerked to his feet, grabbed his duffle bag with a grunt, and slung it over his shoulder while holding his sword.

The hall continued its cacophony behind him as he walked briskly toward the bunker's main entrance.

Two guards stood at attention by the exit, clad in mismatched military gear, rifles slung over their backs and short swords strapped to their hips. Despite their rough appearance, they nodded respectfully when Damian gave a slight bow.

The blast doors behind them creaked open with a mechanical groan, releasing Damian into the outside world.

Sunlight poured down in sheets of warm gold, though the sun was already inching toward the western horizon. Fort Sentinel's perimeter loomed in the distance, where once-rusted barriers had evolved into something far more formidable.

The massive steel gate, once dented and patched with scrap, now gleamed with reinforced alloy panels and dense plating. Large energy welds ran through its seams—clear signs of recent upgrades, while a huge obvious cyan rune was etched on the center. There were cracks and scorch marks that hinted at recent attacks, the gate now looked like it could survive a direct assault from a siege beast.

As Damian scanned the fort, he noted even more changes.

Where once there were only eight or nine barracks, now stood at least twenty, aligned in a grid and built from prefabricated steel walls, sandcrete insulation, and modified bunker tech. Small antennae buzzed with faint blue light on the rooftops, likely channeling fields for communications.

But the most stunning transformation was the walls.

Previously a sorry patchwork of sandbags, rusted sheet metal, and haphazard concrete blocks, the new defenses were towering monoliths. They stood at least forty feet high, built from dense obsidian-like stone laced with carbonite alloy—blacker than night and resistant to both kinetic and magical damage. Etched into the surface in careful, calculated spacing were arcane runes, similar to the one on the gate, they glowed faintly with pulsating cyan light. Protective wards. Likely shield generators. Maybe even attack-triggering sigils.

Damian's eyes widened.

"Whoa…" he whispered, ' This all happened in a month? Where did they even get the materials from? ' He wondered, genuinely impressed and surprised.

But the awe quickly dulled, a bittersweet tang settling in the back of his throat. He wouldn't be here much longer. This place—its evolving strength, its growing unity—was something he'd only brush against briefly, after all, he'd be leaving in a few days.

"At least I'll get to rest in peace," he muttered.

With that, he turned away from the noise, the soldiers, and the busy halls, heading toward a quieter section of the fort.

His target was a massive tree, oddly untouched amid all the steel and stone. It stood a short distance from one of the newest barracks, far enough away to be isolated but close enough for the weary to find it.

It offered shade. Quiet. Solitude.

A perfect place to think—or not think at all.

And in a world where everything was changing too fast, Damian needed that.

[Location: Fort Sentinel – Barrack Outskirts, Under the Oak Tree]

POV: 3rd Person

Time: 3:57 PM

--

Damian lay sprawled beneath the shade of a wide-canopied tree, positioned at the very edge of the farthest barrack. The grass was rough, uneven, and slightly damp from a previous drizzle, but it was leagues better than being surrounded by walls and voices. His duffle bag—overstuffed, misshapen, and jam-packed with Relics and 'nonessentials' served as a makeshift pillow. "Worst pillow in human history," he'd muttered earlier with mild disdain as he shifted, trying to find the least painful angle. His sword rested close at hand, propped upright beside him like a silent guardian.

For the first time in what felt like hours, he allowed himself to exhale fully, letting the wind carry away the weight pressing on his shoulders. The steady rustling of leaves above and the muted bustle in the distance offered a rare lull—something resembling peace.

Damian Derulo' Finally… some peace and quiet. '

He smiled faintly beneath his mask, eyelids fluttering shut with a tired sort of relief. Sleep didn't come easy in Fort Sentinel, but here, under the waning sun and away from the noise, it seemed willing to at least flirt with him.

Then—footsteps.

At first, he tried to ignore them, convincing himself it was just someone passing through. But as the soft crunch of grass and soil inched closer, his brows knit together with rising irritation.

Damian Derulo '...Seriously? What now?'

He cracked an eye open, reluctantly breaking the fragile calm. A familiar silhouette emerged from between the buildings, moving toward the tree like a ghost drifting on autopilot. It was Mira.

Her steps were slow, almost hesitant, but there was no sense of awareness in them. Her eyes stared ahead blankly, face hollow with an expression that held far too much grief for someone her age. She didn't even register Damian lying nearby—or if she did, she didn't care. She reached the tree, turned, and slid down its rough bark, coming to rest with her back against the trunk, just a few feet away.

Damian stared at her for a moment, torn between awkwardness and pity. His plans for sleep now lay in ruins.

Damian Derulo 'You've got to be kidding me.'

He considered getting up and walking away, even contemplated moving quietly so she wouldn't notice. She clearly needed space—hell, she probably thought she was alone. But leaving would mean drawing attention to himself. And if there was one thing Damian hated more than being in crowded places, it was being noticed.

So he stayed still, eyes open now, watching the way her fingers absently curled into the grass. She looked like she was crumbling inward, lost in a storm only she could feel.

The moment hovered in heavy silence… until, predictably, the universe decided to ruin it.

Marcus Hale "Damian!"

Damian's entire body visibly twitched.

Damian Derulo 'I hate my life.'

He groaned internally, already bracing for the noise, the drama, the unavoidable attention. And the worst part? Mira's expression had shifted—just slightly—but enough to suggest she'd been yanked out of her quiet suffering.

'Just perfect.'
