King wakes up to a room by himself with a splitting headache, he shifts his head towards Ash's bed. Gone, King gets up, gets dressed immediately, and jumps out the second-story window looking for Ash.

While running on the rooftop he hears, "You, surrender or we will put you down." Second bounty hunter barks, "If we turn you in we will support our kids for generations!"

King jumps down to find Ash over an unconscious woman and an aura burning the ground around him like hell flame. He leaps into action, "Ash calm down, or else you are going to get me and the women killed. Don't worry I will handle this."

Ash begins to control his temper and falls to his knees with the pain of fire burning into his eyes. King begins by snapping his fingers, one of the three bounty hunters' heads explode. Then dashes at speeds that break the sound barrier and stops in front of one, killing him from the sheer force of the wind. He turns his head to the last bounty hunter, "Tell the other bounty hunters if they ever look at us I will rip their heart out and burn it in front of them, now run," King's eyes burned bright with fire.

The last bounty hunter runs away in such shock that he is vomiting while running. The view pleases King a lot, so much so he starts to laugh, "That never gets old don't you think Ash, wait, who is that woman anyway and why is she unconscious," Ash still in pain still trying to hold back, "She was hit by one of those pieces of garbage and I came because she said my name before falling into the unconscious state." King was confused but thinking wasn't always his strong suit. Ash told King to pick her up because he needed to focus on keeping his eyes under control. He hauled her over his shoulder.

They went back to the tavern just to be yelled at by the sweet barkeep and her mother. It was because they forgot to tell them they were leaving and didn't drop the key off so they couldn't get into the room without the spare key. "How dare you walk back in here after stealing the key and not tell us you were leaving!"

She was cut off by Ash who is looking more and more vicious, "I don't have time for this, take this money and let us through damn it." His eyes started to glow red under the black blindfold and he threw 20 gold coins which are about a brand new house worth.

King took the older-looking woman upstairs who was still unconscious but breathing. "Hey Ash, I am going to walk around town a bit. Do you want anything?"

Ash calmly as he could, "No, I am perfectly fine, go enjoy yourself. I am going to try to figure out who she is and why she knows my name."

King said in a hurry trying to leave and go have fun, "Well alright see you have fun with whatever you are doing." King closes the door with a slam which almost knocks the door off its hinges.

Ash then sits down and relaxes, still keeping his eyes in check. Soon after the old lady wakes from her sleep to see a guy looming over her with power seeping out like a poison gas if inhaled. The lady asked, "Where am I and how did I get here?"

Ash answered with haste trying not to let his power out, "I will be asking the questions, how did you know my name, who are you and answer before my temper gets the better of me."

The old but fairly fit lady says, "It's because you are my son of course but your father took you while I was recovering, the moment I felt that aura it had to be you."

"But how do I know you are not lying? And wait, how did you feel my aura? I know basic mages can feel it but you are an old lady."

The lady gets up and hugs Ash saying, "I know you never had one of these from your father, I know you are my son Ash. Now how I know is because I was a hero saving the world and it was your father who was the person trying to destroy the world and gods but when we saw each other we didn't want to fight anymore. It was love or so I thought, I had you and he took you away."

Ash started to cry but his power stabilized because it wasn't anger, it was a relief. He had a mother who loved him, a parent who loved him. When King got back from his partying around the town Ash told him and was so relieved when he saw a smile on Ash's face. He gave Ash a hug, "You are my brother I will always be there for you even when I am not needed. I am here. All you have to do is ask."

Ash nodded and said his thanks to King and turned around to tell his mom what he planned to do, "Mother I need to get revenge for what he did to us so I am going to look for him."

Ash's mom told him, "I know no one can touch you but keep it under control. I know hatred burns deep down inside you just be careful or your loved one might get hurt."

Ash gave his mother a last hug and left going down the wooden stairs where the mother and her daughter were cleaning up the place. Ash went to her and said sorry he had personal reasons.

"I will take my leave and go," Ash and King were walking out the front door.

The bartender's daughter tugged on Ash's coat and with a smile, "This is for you, please come back again." She smiled at Ash and pointed her tongue at King and laughed at him. King let out a little chuckle, "You really are a cutie." They both left with a smile on their face and kept walking to go find Ash's father and get revenge.
