Damian chuckles and leans back again, closing his eyes and smiling. "That might be true. Who knows. But as for somethings out there, no amount of looking will find them. Sometimes you just have to wait for them to find you." He let silence fall over the cart and he kept thinking on what he was missing in his spells to give them all the increase in power he'd need, so he didn't need to unlock the skill locks so often. He knew how strong they were, how much power he had with them. But the biggest concern he always faced when using his magic was when he'd first discovered the locks, because he hadn't put them there.

He could still remember when he'd first unlocked each lock, each time he'd been pushed to his limits. The first, Alpha, had come unlocked during a fight with a wizard that was using insanely strong take over magic. He'd almost died in that fight and would have if the skill lock hadn't unlocked when it had. Omega had been in a fight against a Heavenly Body mage, which had pushed him to his limits when he'd unlocked the Alpha lock. If he hadn't used bunker block when he had, that ray attack would have obliterated him. "Penny, do you ever feel like your magic is keeping secrets from you?"
