Dark halts from Carolyn's blast, then creates a cocoon around him and the others with his dark magic to protect them from the upcoming wave. Carolyn's cocoon just wrapping around her before making impact. Once it subsides he lands on the ground on one knee panting. The power felt familiar but that's not important.

"Is everyone alright, Carolyn, Cancer, Aphrodite?"

"I'm fine Dark, thanks for protecting us." Aphrodite lands beside him and helps him up. Still upset on him holding her back. "Why didn't you help?"

Dark regains his composure and takes a few deep breath before replying.

"I'll tell you later on, but for now."

Dark walks over to the river and notices the dead man sinking to the bottom. An improper burial but he wont be missed by anyone. He hears sirens blaring in the background and looks over at the others.

"It's time to go guys, unless you want to be questioned on what went on out here. Whomever did this seemed to clean up his mess and showed no signs of a corpse."

Dark flies over to Aphrodite and takes her hand and they take off towards the Academy, they look back at Carolyn who starts to rise to her feet and out of the car. She takes flight, veering away from the couple obviously still upset at Dark for holding her back as well. It is what it is, and in his eyes he know he made the right choice.

-Dark and Aphrodite left the scenario-
