944 Headmaster of Mazeroth

(The following chapter took place before Michael learned about Nightmare's death and appeared at Nagaland)

As Michael emerged from the Sea Realm with Harry in tow, he felt a sense of relief wash over him. He knew that Lailah, Harry's mother, would be anxiously awaiting their arrival on the floating mountain. However, Michael was also aware that he had the grim task of informing Lailah that her own sister, Edith, had been the one responsible for Harry's abduction. He had no regrets about taking Edith's life. In fact, he only wished he had done so earlier. Michael knew that Lailah had loved Edith deeply, even if she had not always shown it, and he was prepared for the potential backlash from both Lailah and Harry. Nevertheless, Michael had acted in accordance with what he believed was right and just, and that was all that mattered to him.
