Ash has his blindfold off, testing his restraint,

“What are you doing,”

the little vampire focused on his eyes, Fang had a bewildered look.

“I am just testing myself,”

his helmet sat on the table beside his blindfold. His eyes started reverting back to his normal yellow eyes. He quickly put his blindfold back on,

“God my old self keeps seeping out.”

Fang’s gentle voice eases Ash’s pain, “What do you mean old self.”

The question sits in the air for a moment, it is picked up as Ash sighs out,

“I get an urge to kill or hurt others if I don’t keep this blindfold on. The pain is unbearable without this blindfold.”

In the distance the male demon spots thousands of foot soldiers, he calls out to Ash.

“Master, they have arrived,”

Ash and Fang rush out of the tower to see the soldiers who are all in formation.

“Wow, that is a really pathetic formation, they are all over the place.” Fang critiqued them,

Ash let out a chuckle, he took a deep breath and let it out, “Alright time to fix my voice so no one gets suspicious.”

He puts his helmet on,

“Alright everyone let's begin the slaughter,” Ash voiced out with his brother Rich’s deep voice.

Ash’s imitation of Rich’s voice is spot on with the raspy and cold-like tone that will give anyone shivers down their spine. Ash mumbles to himself,

“Sorry buddy I can’t give away my identity so you are going to have to watch this fight.”

Vex gives a low purr, the three demons power up their flames ready to turn them into ashes,

“Wait hold your fire! There is one who seems to be running away,”

They all looked in confusion until Fang pointed out her shiny white skull mask and shiny armor that looked like it should be for a king or a queen.

“I am guessing that is the six reaper right.”

Fang’s embarrassment could be felt through her helmet and armor, “No what, why don’t we just blast her. It will be easier that way.”

Ash commanded the wolf demon to retrieve her, “You know what you have to do. Oh and don’t eat her, I already have a feeling she doesn't like me.”

The wolf bolts straight towards her and looks like she is going to be eaten by it. The sixth reaper sees a massive wolf come straight for her, she stops in her tracks letting the soldiers gain on her. The wolf picks her up by the collar of her armor while she shrieks out,

“DON’T EAT ME,”

swinging her lance aimlessly. The wolf does a full three hundred sixty and dashes back to Ash,

“Do you have to save her Ash, she will only get in the way.”

Ash smirks, “I see you two don’t really get along. Why is that?”

Fang looks at the clumsy woman who is in tears, “She is just full of herself and thinks she can take on whole armies.”

Ash just stares at her trying to figure out how she even got into the war in the first place. The wolf already halfway back puts his head down and forcibly puts his head up and releases her into the air.

She screams a blood-curdling cry. Ash sprints to where she is going to land with speed, he leaps up catching her in the air. Her eyes are still closed tightly preparing to hit the ground at any moment.

“Are you okay reaper?”

The blonde hair of hers fluttered in the air making it look almost holy. She opened her eyes slowly when she realized they were on the ground and not dead but she did ask anyway,

“Am I dead?”

Fang shouted out in the distance, “NO you are not, you just an idiot!”

Ash puts her down, immediately after, he teleported into the sky and pointed his right arm telling the three demons to attack the soldiers that were advancing. The feminine demon pulled chains of lava and twirled them with speed ripping through the soldiers in the area. The masculine demon reached into his chest pulling out a jagged sword that had lava veins coursing through it. The demon tore through soldiers with ease slashing and hacking one after another killing hundreds in a matter of seconds.

“Who is that guy,” the sixth reaper brashly said.

“He is Ash, the strongest of the four brothers of light and dark. We are not to give out his name to the enemy,”

The elegant reaper had a debate in her mind, one side wanted to get to know him and thank him. The other side is jealous of his power and doesn't want to thank him because he is the hero.

“Why shouldn’t we spread his name to the enemy, would that just make them fearful and destabilize the whole army.”

Fang shut her questions down, “I’ll explain later, we need to take care of the task at hand.”

The two reapers rush in to join the fray with weapons in hand striking with power and sword.

“Take this and die with honor,” the sixth reaper shouted, impaling soldiers with her lance.

“You will be my next MEAL”

Fang roared filled with bloodthirst gutting soldiers and letting the blood flow out which she absorbed into her blades. The blades are a part of her making the blood it has taken empowering her with strength and speed.

“MORE, I NEED MORE,” the crazed Fang zipped through soldiers cutting them in half with her razor-sharp wings.

“FANG, calm down, or else I will have to subdue you,” Ash commanded.

“Sorry I didn’t mean to,” Fang apologized.

“Pfff Fang what kind of name is that,” Six mocked Fang’s name while piercing through enemies.

“Alright enough with the bickering, let's put these poor souls to rest.”

The wolf chomped on the soldiers then launched them into the air letting them hit the ground with force. Ash slammed into the ground causing an earthquake, cracking open the ground to where hundreds of soldiers fell in.

“It's time to use some of my other skills. I haven’t shown these skills to anyone so you will be the first to be tested on. Necromancy; level five, the skeleton of the giants.”

From the ground arose two enormous arms made out of bone, the arms swept the area sending thousands of dreadful soldiers out of their misery.

“Now one more move should do. Everyone stand back,” Ash warned the reapers and demons.

They all retreated back to the bridge, Ash was surrounded, a hundred thousand soldiers closing in to end him. Ash removed his blindfold and with a great roar he shouted out,

“HELLSCAPE OF THE GODS LEVEL FIVE!”

Five hundred feet in all directions were engulfed in blue fire with all the other elements mixing together. The lightning’s power was enhanced because of his eyes.

The wind lifted most of the soldiers in the air to where the lightning would pick them off with rapid succession. The soldiers who manage to stay on the ground are incinerated and impaled by sharp rocks coming from the ground.

The two reapers trembled at the power, “How is anyone supposed to fight against this power.”

The elements made sentient movements, having a will of their own. The blue fire formed a dragon, his lightning made a crow the size of two houses. The earth element forms a rock golem with blue veins coursing through it. The wind element is last to take form, creating a blue butterfly.

After the chaos died down Ash covered his eyes with the blindfold slowly easing the pain away as much as he could then rode on the wolf back to the bridge. Barely keeping himself from passing out from exhaustion, he made it to the bridge. Struggling to get down from the wolf he faintly mustered out,

“I can only use that a few times before I fall into a deep sleep.”

Ash drops to one knee, holding himself up with his sword, barely able to keep one eye open. His face stealing magic wore off from the lack of energy he had,

“I showed you my power,” he stumbled around a little bit trying to keep himself upright.

“Now, you reapers better show me yours.”

Ash finally collapses to the floor and behind him looks like the place that connects earth and the pits of Hades together. The two reapers rush to his aid picking him up to be put in a bed.

“Hey Fang, it's alright I call you that right.” Fang agrees,

“Okay question, do you think we can win this war.”

Fang thoughtfully said, “We will win if we work together and follow his orders, that means you can’t be running off by yourself. What happens if the enemy hero captures you,”

she paused trying to reword her answer,

“You don’t have to explain it to me, I know what you are trying to say but is he really that good of a planner and strategist.”

Fang takes off her helmet, “The best, we only have one soldier that got wounded when we took over the bridge.”

The two sat on top of the watchtower talking about Fang being a vampire while Ash rests in the built-in barracks.

“How can you be a vampire and not drink someone’s blood for that long,” the sixth reaper asked, staring at her pure red pupils.

“Well I save some blood in an empty potion bottle, a small dose keeps me going for a while. Now that I think about it, how did Ash know I will lose control if I consume too much blood? He probably lived a long time if he knew that much about an almost extinct type of people. Alright, so I have a name now, what about you,” Fang grows a wicked smile.

“Don’t you dare come up with a name,”

the sixth reaper takes off her helmet revealing her exquisite face that can turn heads, even the way she puts down her helmet is graceful.

“I guess my name could be uuhh mmm,”

Sixth kept thinking about a name then one popped into Fang's mind,

“How about Ella, it is like elegance.”

Six’s face lit up, “I LOVE IT.”

Fang was glad she liked her name, “That's great that you like the name it suits you, when Ash wakes we can tell him your new name.”

The two reapers stare at the wasteland, the carnage, and don’t have a single ounce of regret.

“Hey, Fang, what does Ash really look like?”

Fang’s soft voice explains in detail, “He has the looks of a rogue but he is clean shaved. His hair was almost roman with a shade of black that I had never seen before. One thing that I can’t get my head around is that blindfold. He took it off during the fight or I mean slaughter, you may have not seen it because he put it under his helmet but it seems to be important to him.”

“Well if you say so, do you think he is just blind and has some magic seeing skill.”

Fang thinks about the reason for the blindfold, “No he can see clearly without it but when he doesn't have it on he gets a craving for carnage.”

The subject changes to Ash’s identity, “So the whole, keep his name and face hidden let me explain what he did. He changed his face to his brother and took his voice to hide his identity, the reason is he might meet his friends and they can’t interfere with this war.”

Ella’s jealousy vanished for Ash but grew for her friends,

“Why do his friends have to get in the way,”

she got a little indignant for a moment, “Why do his friends have to have a powerful caring man like him and... And..”

She stops her resentfulness towards Ash’s friends. “Well, I can’t wait to tell the rest of them about what happened and rub it in their face.” The both of them laughed at the thought.
