It seems the game of cat and mouse has begun. Rev arrives in Frayer three and a half months later. The city by the beach is as glamorous as ever. Rev sticks out in his dark cloak. In what is usually a bright city of elves. He resupplies on food and starts to ask around with a sketch of Loka that he has created.
"Have you seen this man?" Rev asks.
"...No"
Rev spends the day going around the city. It seems to bring suspension for him. An elf dressed in white garments with purple threads weaved into it comes up to Rev. He has two guards by his side.
"I heard you looking for Loka," he says.
"I am. Do you know where he is? I had been here." Rev says.
"lets see...well it seems to be my lucky day." The elf tells Rev.
He raises a piece of paper to Rev. "May I ask your name?"
"Does that really matter?" Rev asks.
The elf laughs. "I wanted man should be given a name"
Rev sends out waves of source confirming his suspicion. He has been surrounded.
"Don't worry, there just here so you don't-"
Rev vanishes into thin air.
"leave..." the elf finish.
He scans around him, not being able to see where Rev has gone. Rev swiftly takes out the elves around him one by one. Stabbing them through the neck. The tip of the dagger begins to slightly change color. It seems the source is doing its work.
"Get over here now! Lock down the city, the dark elf doesn't leave!" The elf from before says.
Rev feels an immense amount of source approaching. "Blessed elf," Rev thinks.
Rev has no choice but to fight. The city has been put on lockdown. He still has not gotten any infromtaion on where Loka has gone. Rev sighs and dashes back to the elf from before.
"Hey what are you doing!" he says.
Rev holds the dagger to his neck.
"If you move, ill kill you. Now tell me what you know about Loka." Rev demands.
He laughs. "Are you a fool? Do you even know who I am? Hahahaa"
"Alright, that enough. Let him go and we will turn you in alive."
"And who are you, so to be?" Rev asks.
He scuffs, "I am Andrew, and you will comply. "
Rev looks at Andrew his the fire in his eyes burning into Andrews' eyes.
"Red eye..." Andrew muttered.
Rev presses the dagger to the elf's throat, drawing blood. "Tell me what you know about Loka and I won't kill him," Rev says.
"Are you crazy, Andrew? Kill this guy at once?" The elf demands.
Andrew takes a breath. "I see" Rev says.
Rev spits into the throat of the elf. Then lunges toward Andrew. He dodges and flies up in the air. He begins to shoot Rev with rapid fire water spears. He then begins to chant. Before Rev can catch his breath, giant roots appear below him. Ripping the floor about as they emerge. They begin to whip at him. Rev sets them on fire.
"What a pest," Andrew says under his breath.
Rev sends two fire blasts at Andrew to block his vision. Andrew easily dodges and sends out a source wave to find Rev. Rev tries to sneak below him, but it is no use. Andrew creates a cloud of leaves and dust. Wooden spike protrudes the floor below Rev. He quickly gets to high ground. Andrew begins to shoot water orbs into the cloud of leaves and dust. The dust turns into a stick of mud flying through the air. Rev is coated in it. He jumps up out of the cloud. Andrew still flying above send the cloud at Rev tracking him around. Rev can feel the mud is coated in source. It is attempting to cover him with the goal of suffocation. The mud is clinging to Rev. The wind blast it off himself. Sending it flying in all directions. Andrew freezes the mud mid air and sends it flying back at Rev. Rev weaves through them. Rev is outmatched in source amount. The longer this goes on, the worse it will get. Andrew is not slowing down anytime soon. He triples the size of the cloud and sends at Rev. Rev doesn't have time for this. He blast up to Andrew, forcing him to fly down. Where Rev bolts at him, fire in hand. Andrew catches the attack, but at what cost? He sends a counter at Revs right rip. Rev continues to burn Andrew's hand. Andrew spits in Rev's face.
"Let go of me at once you filth," He tells Rev.
They begin to wrestle on the ground. Trading blows. Rev lodges the dagger at Andrews' chest. He stops it and rolls around. Having Rev now below him. He switches the blade and sends it at Rev.
"Die!" Andrew yells out.
Rev smiles, his eyes are fully lit ablaze. his heart is pounding through his chest. The thrill of being at death's door is like no other. He pulls the dagger toward him, catching Andrew off guard. Rev dashes to the side. Gaining reposition of the dagger in one swift action. Rev sends a fire blast at Andrew. Andrew quickly flies up then rains down water spears on Rev. Destroying the building he was standing on. Rev dashes out of the way. He spots more elf guard on their way. Rev sighs and catches his breath as another brage of water spears are shot at him. He runs through the city streets as they are dismatled behind him. Rev looks back at Andrew checking much source he has left. It appears to be a little less them double what he has. At this rate Rev will surely lose. Rev has no choice. He begins to flash through hand signs. Piecing them together, as he had practiced many times before. He had never actually put enough source for the art to activate tho. This would be the first time Rev ever saw it. The focus on hand signs slowed Rev down. His foot was splashed by a water spear. It soon turned to ice. Andrew uses this to cast the vines around Rev. This time, taking his feet, then wrapping up to his chest. They began to squeeze the life out of Rev. Rev's hand, felt cold, but never stopped. Rev uses his last breath.
"...hell...scape"
This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
From his hand erupts molten lava. Shooting straight at Andrew. Melting his left legs on contact.
"AHHHH!" Andrew screams.
His grip on Rev is gone. The roots stop there squeezing and Rev coat them and pushes them undone. Rev had not fully cast much of the art, but it was enough to work with. Rev raises his hand and from the lava pool, a hand shoots up to mimic him. Rev swipes at Andrew in the air.
"What is that thing!" Andrew yells.
Rev coats the handle and light the source dagger on fire. The source of the dagger keeps the flame alive. He then throws it a Andrew at top speed. It slices through the air in a fiery blaze. Andrew scuffs at the attempt and dodges it. The blade gets closer than he thought it would be. It's no problem at all.
"Don't get cocky with me!" Andrew yells.
He looks back at Rev, but he is missing. Rev grabs the back of Andrews' head, then pulls the dagger back to his hand. The dagger flies straight through Andrew's skull.
Rev sighs "I don't think he was the type to give me information." Rev says to himself.

Rev takes the win. His source is running low. Rev walks over to the dock. Where The guard does not even attempt to stop him. He picks up his bag and shows the dock worker a picture of Loka.
"Has this man come through here? If so, where did he go?" Rev tiredly asks.
"...Yes, he I remember he went on the ship for Eden without paying. That was a couple of months ago." The worker says, his voice shaking.
Rev sighs, "Tell them to start the ship up and to leave as soon as possible." Rev demands.
"Right Away." The elf responds.
He tells the ship's caption to take Rev to Eden.
"You better not get any stupid ideas. You life isn't worth giving up to try to kill me. Ive taken this trip before. I'll know if you go off course. So let's have a nice ride." Rev tells the captain.
"...Of course" He quickly responds.
Rev gets on board and the ship is off. The residents of the city let out a breath of relief. Rev sleeps in the captain corder to keep him in check. He is feed the best food on the ship along the way. Rev refuels the source he had used in battle. He takes in the ocean once more. The very thing he had spent weeks starting at as a child. The waves have not become any less mesmerizing.
The first few days on the ship were anxiety packed. Rev had hoped that his threats from earlier would ensure that the ship would stay on track. Rev sat in the chair next to the caption, watching him steer all day.
“It’s not really necessary for me to steer the ship at all times.” The Captain tries to tell Rev.
Rev glares at him. "Just steer the ship or die choice is yours. I have no problem burning your flesh off piece by piece.” Rev responds.
The captain looks back at the open ocean, his hands slightly shaking. The rest of the ship ride was smooth sailing. The captain was silent for the most of it. Finally, the day arrived where lands was in sight. Before the ship could dock, Rev has spotted guards surrounding the dock. They were trying to hide, but through Rev's eyes they were easily revealed. As they approached the dock Rev made his way on top of the ship and wind blasted himself high into the sky. He starts to dash through the air panel to panel. The guards walked onto the ship and stormed the captain's quarters. It was too late. Rev was long gone, but would be quick to return. Rev would spend 3 days in the surrounding area waiting for the security to die down. He had fully recovered from the last fight, but he had no intention of repeating such a thing. Once night fell, Rev made his way to the city. He ran through the forest, coming across an open space. He looks around the area all too familiar. “Thomas” Rev thinks. The memories start coming back to him. Rev is able to suppress them. His breath gets heavy, and he takes a seat.
“He had no place in this world.” Rev says.
A new objective has taken the stage. Rev makes his way into the city. A city that Rev came to know very well. Rev made his way through the city. The streets seemed smaller than before. Rev’s steps echo through the empty city. He makes his way to the fight club. The door is closed. Rev coats it and blasts it open. Rev walks in, seeing no one is there. The bar seems to have been tarred apart. The whole place had been destroyed. Rev walks out and heads toward the inner city. He can feel eyes from the surrounding buildings looking down on him.
“I see fear has taken the heart of this city. How pitiful,” Rev announces.
Rev looks up to see Thomas flying in the sky. His eyes were full of disgust.
“I see you’ve finally come back. You made quite a name for yourself in last month. But that all comes to an end here. Am going to finish what I started.”
Rev smiles “I’ll make sure to make your death as agonizing as possible,” Rev tells Thomas.
Rev dashes in rapid succession. Thomas can’t track him. Rev shoots firer blast at him from all directions. Thomas dodges most, but his clothes are set on fire. His white ropes soon turn to black ash. Thomas tries to fire a water spear at Rev. It misses, but Thomas uses it to crush a building together. As Rev creates stone panels to dash off of her coats there and lights them at fire and sends them flying at Thomas. Rev continues his assault, throwing his dagger at Thomas' head on and swapping with it before contact. Rev then unleashes a point Blake fire cloud on Thomas. Seeing his skin and blinding him.
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!” Thomas yells out.
Rev takes him to the ground. Thomas cast an ice prison of Rev. It encapsulating in an ice cube. Thomas gathers source in his hand and brings it to his scared face. Slowly, the source replaces the burn flash and heals him. A smirk appears on Thomas' face. Rev in this time has melted his hands free and begun to cast into hell scape. Thomas laughs at the frozen Rev.
“Hahaha, you escaped me once, but never again. Coming back her was the last mistake you will ever make,” Thomas says.
Embers are released from Rev’s mouth.
“Hell scape!”
The lava blast through the ice and straight at Thomas. He takes a step to the side and dodges.
“What a pitiful-“
Rev flicks his arm to the right and a hand of lava comes out for the pool, smacking towards Thomas.
“What!”
Rev then breaks out of the ice and pulls his dagger to his hand. He fights Thomas, trying to get in close, but he’s not making it easy. Rev uses the lava hand to force Thomas close to him. Rev brings to gown the pool, causing the floor to melt below them. They fight in the air, getting night and higher. Rev spreads his source out and attaches it to Thomas. He pulls him towards him, but Thomas fights back. Rev throws his dagger at Thomas' feet. Thomas looks down for a second to dodge and in that moment Rev uses the distraction. To pull Thomas closer and swap with the blade. He grabs his leg and hurls him down as hard as he can. Thomas plummets to the ground. Rev wind blast himself down with him. Thomas cast water dragon and shoots back up at Rev. Rev crosses his arms and lights himself on fire. A wicked smile is plastered on his face. His eyes were as bright and wild as fire works. They collide. Rev fire is fueled by source no amount of water will put it out. The heat he radiates evaporates the water on contact. Thomas is in disbelief. It is as he has just flown straight into the sun. The water is gone. There is nothing to freeze. Rev hakes hold or Thomas and Thomas' blood starts to boil in his veins. Thomas desperately uses his source to try to heal him. But it is not enough as they are sent crashing into the lava covered ground. Thomas can not even let out a cry in his last moments as he enters the and the remaining source in him greatly fuels the Infernum. Rev cloak in burn to ash and so is the inner city itself. Rev spread the lava, killing the elf dozens. The smoke of the fire covers the sky itself in a black cloud. Rev transforms the smoke itself into a fire cloud that engulfs the inner city. Rev source is running almost dry, but the sight of it all is more than worth it in Rev’s eyes. The cries of the elves trying to leave their homes., but the second they take a step out there are burnt to a crisp. Rev himself can barely breathe or see. What he can see tho is the lights in their elves go out one by one as their source is used to fuel the flame and lava of hell scape. The chain reaction can not be stopped.
