All of that was merely to say that Morgunov, in the back of his mind, always had reason to believe that perhaps some of his "dead" students might one day reappear before him.
In an attempt to kill him, for example.
And in that regard, the most prominent candidate in his mind was one Damian Lofar.
That little trio had been in his thoughts quite a bit, recently. And it began with Damian--or more accurately, with that whole mess that went down at Bellvine. Damian was the entire reason that he'd even been there, after all. That was the memory that had reminded him of interest in acquiring a pet "god," which in turn was what had motivated him to set off this whole continental war.
And then, coincidentally enough, who crossed his path next? Parsey Boy. And before any of the other Vannies got there, too.
That had to have been Germal's doing. Morgunov was convinced.
And if those two were back in action, then it somehow didn't seem beyond the realm of possibility that Damian might show up again, too.
Maybe that was just wishful thinking, though. Morgunov rarely ever regretted killing anyone, but little ol' Damian had been one of the few exceptions.
When Morgunov had first learned about Damian's power, about his control over a totally unknown force, he'd been ecstatic by the mystery it presented. It was exciting just thinking about what discoveries might be made by studying it. And as Damian had grown more powerful, that excitement had slowly but steadily increased along with him.
The boy could manipulate space, waves, and matter in ways that Morgunov had never quite seen before--certainly not all at once.
And gradually, Morgunov became convinced that Damian was the key to understanding the relationship between the three on a deeper level than ever before.
