Returning to his home, Khalid repairs some of the damage done by Anubis’ storms, trying his best to execute the Helm’s will, to “Heal the world”. In this Khalid becomes the ruler of the underworld, but refuses the position. His soul now at the will of Anubis, his heart taken out and his soul being weighed, Thoth reaches out to Khalid and assists him with the Staff of Power, allowing him to defeat Anubis. Khalid soon approaches Anubis at a power plant where he draws energy from the electric element, but then dies. Discovering that his father has gone blind, Khalid eventually takes his father out from his burning hospital, and trades his sight to his father, causing Khalid to become blind in his place, but can use the Helm to see.

The young sorcerer fails to land the plane safely and quickly takes his father to the hospital. Now lifting his father through the air, Anubis strikes down a nearby aircraft. Still believing himself to be “tripping”, Khalid takes off the helm as his father begins to call out for help, after his taxi being crushed by a car and ultimately blinded, despite Khalid’s efforts to save him from damage as he shows up quickly. Putting on the Helmet, Khalid discovers the wild world of Magic, lifting himself through the airs by discovering his control over not just the winds, but multiple elements. She speaks to him, eventually leading him back to the Helm in the museum, tempting him to wear it and become the champion. Leaving the station awestruck, Khalid runs into his cat, Puck, now-possessed by the spirit of the Egyptian goddess Bastet. By shouting “STOP!”, Khalid stops the train dead in its tracks, awed by how he had come to do this. He helps her up, only to find himself face to face with the front end of a speeding subway train. Due to the torrential downpours and storms recently caused by Anubis, Khalid finds himself stuck at a train station and notices a young girl stuck on the train tracks. Khalid, believing himself to be on a bad acid trip at this point due to the Helm talking to him, he runs off and texts his girlfriend the next morning.

Two days before he was meant to start Med School after being fresh out of college, Khalid stumbled upon the Helmet of Fate after looking for a gift in the Brooklyn Museum. Khalid Nassour, born to his Egyptian father Muhammed Nassour and his mother Elizabeth Nassour, was an Egyptian-American med student living in the big streets of New York City.
