"Where are we going?" Seth asked his uncle.
"Are you concerned?" Herman asked, concealing a smile.
"No, since I've known you, I've learned to just go with it," Seth said as Herman laughed.
Herman led him around the corner to a vacant alley, in the opposite direction of the castle. "We're going to my lab," Herman replied, then added, "Also, we need to talk. I want to start working with you to develop your powers."
"My powers?"
"Yes," Herman replied. "After what happened to you last night, I know now that you are more powerful than even I had imagined."
"How do you know about last night?" Seth asked as Herman came to a stop in the shadows.
