Damian had spent three days recovering from the fight with the Demon, thanks to both Bonnie's and the healer's healing, before going back out on jobs, mostly on his own. The last few months had been spent alternating between jobs and training, continuing to become stronger to help the guild and those who needed it. Shortly after he finished another job just outside Crocus, he hung up his cutlasses and began using what he called his Blade Change magic, a more refined version of his Blades magic that allows him to summon a pair of swords depending on what he needs right then. Using this magic, he's gone on to build a name for Phoenix Wing amongst the populace of Fiore.

In the process, with Phoenix Wing's job board filling with more and more requests as time went by, Damian built a name for himself as The Blade of Phoenix Wing, swift, strong and solid in his convictions. He'd taken several jobs in shutting down Dark Guilds on his own, but he still took higher paying jobs and teamed up with Penny on occasion so she had a little extra jewel for when she and Sasha wanted to just go shopping or some other girly things. He spent his own free time training, making sure he did the guild and the title S Class proud.

That morning he came in looking a little beat up from the completion of his most recent S Class job out on the coast dealing with a Dark Guild calling themselves Bloody Mary. They'd had a couple of new magic types in their ranks, a wizard who could bend time immediately round himself to speed himself up and another who could control inanimate objects at will. The pair had given Damian a run for his money, but eventually ran out of magic energy before he did. That had been another thing his training and done; with increased power came increased magic energy. When he'd finished kicking the crap out of the guild, he'd questioned about the woman he and Penny had been chasing in Crocus, but came up fruitless again. Sighing heavily as he opened the door, he waved to Jarvis and Sasha as he took a seat, waving for a drink and a pie. "I haven't been this sore in a while."
