Apollo's travel to Mahika was fruitful; there was more connection to Nero, just like what Alicia had said before, though it was mainly due to Arevano's words about Dominos. However, at first he thought that it was just a theory that needed more investigation since he still had no solid evidence that could hold Nero as Dominos, he still needed more. Something, anything, another evidence that could point to Nero as Dominos, to further solidify the connection, that he was really the mage that was behind all the chaos that plagued the empire. So he asked the old spirit again, he just wants to be sure, he doesn't want to base his judgment on the circumstantial connection of the two individuals. Even when Arevano explains that the Nero that Apollo frequently talks about may be the Dominos he knew from the past. Even when Alicia also told him that Nero may have some connections with Elias, he still wanted to find another undeniable proof to tie all the speculation he had.
