It's been 6 years since the incident. When Khali pushed that dark orb into my, i felt unreal pain. I'm not even sure if it was real or not. But i do know that since that "Dream" i have changed. My personality and outlook on life took a different view. I wish to believe it was real, but no "man" has come in all this time. hah. who am i kidding? It was most likely just a delusional dream. Oh yes! Let me tell you about what happened after i woke up. When i woke up, i saw my father savagely beating down on the fat man. He killed the man, then told the servants to dispose of the body. Ever since then, I've been my moms replacement in sex. My father didn't have a burial for mother, and just told the servants to take care of her. Really? What kind of a cold hearted asshole could you be?

After leaving the village i decided to summon Sleipnir,and began to travel to the west, as i felt a slight....resonance? towards that location. It was weird, really. It felt like an arrow in my brain was pointing me in that direction, and the closer i got the harder the arrow pushed, giving me a massive headache.
While traveling west, during the times i wasn't traveling i decided to work on my sword technique. I tried imbuing CE into my sword, and instantly it shattered. I guess i really can't use any normal technique's. I'm afraid to try body strengthening, for fear of blowing off my arm. I was tempted to use "Realm" again, but decided against it since i didn't want to waste my CE.
I made Sleipnir rest at the base of the hill, then i began my climb. I really shouldn't say climb, as it only took about 10 minuets for me to walk up there. Now that i see the mansion close up, i notice that it truly is a big mansion. Two noble looking doors with guards resting on either side, surrounded by a sizable castle. I walked up to the guards, attempting to start a conversation. Before i could even get any words out they began to shout
"Demon!! There's a demon in front of the lords house!!" The guard on the right, who was standing next to an alarm bell, began to furiously ring it, while the guard on the left kept shouting the same words.
"Shit" i think to myself. How could i be so stupid as to forget my elf disguise!! I throw a knife that i acquired from the village's blacksmith i slaughtered awhile back, and it smacks dead center into the bell. Left guard had already pull'n his sword out, and began to swing at me.
"These guys are moderately skilled" i think, surprised at the skill a mere guard could show. "Still, its not enough to beat me" i say, and before he could strike again i thrust a knife hand into his throat, causing him too fall down-- is what should have happened. Seriously, this is getting old. Instead of crushing his throat like it should have, since i had my transformation off my claws were still there, and i made a clean cut through his throat, causing me whole arm to get soaked in blood. The guard on the right had ran inside, and I'm guessing also locked the door.
I walked up to the giant wooden doors, and pushed on them. Yep, pretty sturdy. This is perfect. I haven't yet had a chance to try this body's limits. Fun fact, even when i was a paladin, i was always looking for training methods to get my body stronger. I did all sort's of crazy shit and for the female's who love my amazing body, i will spare you the torture of how i hurt myself <3. Anyways, i walked backwards until i got at the slope of the hill then began to run. I ran as fast as i could towards the gate, and right before i got to the doors i firmly planted one foot, causing the ground to shake and crack, then perfectly pivoted my body into a punch. A single, perfect punch that completely smashed the gates open. I think i put a little too much power in it, as even some of the surrounding stones began to crack.
Entering the castle, i walked to the left, then walked to the right, then back to the left. The resonance was stronger to the left, so naturally i would take that path. I put on my transformation magic, which took me a little longer because i tried to look like a servant. Making my way through the halls with my head down and back hunched, made a perfect disguise. Guards passed me, not even bothering to ask a lowly servant like me if i'd seen a demon. They were probably thinking along the lines of "If this servant saw a demon he would have shit himself on the spot and ran away."

I walked up a spiral staircase, into the top layer of the castle.There was only one door in the hallway, which i found strange. The whole upstairs felt like a dark place yet at the same time it felt... welcoming, to me. The headache was unbearable now, as the resonance was pulling me down the end of the hallway. I canceled my transformation magic and activated an attack spell that i had been experimenting with called "Flexible", which let me send out a small layer of mist around my body in which i could control. The downside is that it cant be regenerated and if i were to make the shape of a sword, the mist covering me would be used, including the mist covering my feet, head, and chest. I make gauntlets for my hands with the mist as i was always better at martial arts than with a sword. I reached for the door and slowly opened it to see a metal being thrust at my face

I was laying in bed wondering if anything interesting would happen in my life again, when suddenly the alarm bell began to ring. I got up and looked out the window, but all i saw was the hills that i so longed to play and run on. Out of nowhere the whole castle shuddered and a loud explosion rocked the front of the castle. If i were to guess, i would say we are under attack. I looked for a weapon to use, but my room has been thoroughly scoured by servants. Suddenly i heard footsteps outside the hall. Panicking, i grabbed a lamp and broke off the ends by smashing them on the ground. It looked like a shitty make-shift spear, but it would have to work.
Someone grabbed the door, and began to push it. The second the intruders forehead came into view i thrust the lamp out. If it was a human, I'm almost positive it would have killed them. But the thing that entered my room was fast, incredibly fast. Before it even got near it it's hand shot up and grabbed the spear. Using only it's hand, it bent the metal like it was nothing and chucked it at me. I dodged out of the way and landed on my butt. I looked at the demon, knowing that this was the end. It's skin was grey that looked like it was tinted with blue, with nails on it's hands and feet that were completely black. It's hair was black, with purple tips. It had a tribal marking on its left torso, that also covered it's shoulder. It smiled a sinister smile, with black, shark-like teeth coming into view.But that wasn't the scariest thing about it. The eyes. Just by looking into it's eyes, i instantly knew that this demon was insane. It's eyes were a spiral of black and purple, and i felt like it could kill me with its eyes alone. It took a step towards me, and i screamed as loud as i could. Within half a second, my throat was grasped. The second it touched me the burning smell of flesh was in the air and i was suddenly dropped. On my arm i felt a burn mark and looked don to see a weird symbol on it. It looked to be the same as the demon's tattoo, but a little different. The demon was looking at me in shock and actually backed away from me, but it had a mysterious smile on its face. It turned around and grabbed a mirror from the corner of my room, and put it in front of me. What i saw nearly made me pass out
