Hi peoples Chaos is back and here to say let's get chaotic with more Fate's Assassin. 

____________________________________________________________________________________________

             By the time the group had made it halfway back to Darlung night had fallen which was the most dangerous time in the forest so they decided to make camp and head back in the morning. Ley had woke up a few hours ago after sleeping for most of the trip due to his fatigue from his mental breakdown earlier in the day. He had mostly recovered by now and was once again his usual happy-go-lucky self but this time it was different this time his happiness was genuine and not just a mask. 

             Since he had woke up had had done three things the first was obviously get something to eat. What surprised the whole group was that he didn't make his way towards the center of camp where hot stew was waiting but instead went into the forest. A few of them were worried including the Commander and Luther who had both taken a great liking to Ley. But all worry was for not as only ten minutes later Ley emerged from the treeline but what really threw everyone off was that he had a full grown buck on his shoulder that's only discernible injury was that it's neck had been cleanly broken resulting in instant death for the buck.

Ley- Who wants steak?

              As Ley asked this everyone's mouths started to water uncontrollably. It has to be understood that due to the dangers in the forest hunting in a very perilous venture that will both threaten your life at every turn and make you quite a lot of money if you successful even once. The price of top quality meat like this buck was so outrageously high that only the fat nobles with money coming out the wazoo could get to eat it. Most people had to settle on fish and vegetables since these are readily available at all times.

              It wasn't long before the buck had been cleaned, portioned, cooked, and the meat feast began. It was while everyone was eating with the ferocity of a starving tiger that Ley had done the second thing in the list of must do's.

Ley- Um excuse me Commander since I'm going to be living in the garrison from now on I think I need to know the name of my superior so can I ask your name.

               The Commander had jumped at this sudden question but not because he was afraid to answer Ley or that Ley was asking anything that would be offensive but because in his mind at this very second he was beating himself senseless for forgetting something so important as telling his newly adopted son his own name which Ley will be receiving once the official paperwork is done.

               Ley had noticed the scowl on the Commander's face and started to back away thinking he had royally screwed up.

Ley- Oh know what did I do!??! Was I not supposed to ask that? Is it taboo to ask him his name? Is he going to take back his offer and just take my head back without a body with it as a trophy for offending him?

                 Ley was thoroughly panicking now and everyone but the Commander who was still beating himself up in his head could see it. Luther was the most agitated by the Commander not noticing Ley's frantic state and immediately started to chant.

Luther- Aqueous Telgba Dorban-Water ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

               Luther had launched a high speed water projectile at the commander's face and with a loud splash followed by an equally loud thud the Commander had been put on his back sopping wet in what was now a very large pool of mud. This had snapped the Commander back to reality and he looked up at Luther and was about to yell with a fury that could send and army running with a trail of yellow behind them but stopped when he saw the unbridled anger in Luther's eyes and moved his line of sight to where he was pointing. What he saw put a curtain of cold sweat down his back. It was Ley and he was an absolute mess teeth chattering, bugged out eyes, and mumbling all sorts of cruelties befalling him. The commander's stomach lurched at what he had caused by not answering and hurried to Ley's side to fix this disastrous mistake of his.

 Commander- Ley!!! Calm down please I'm sorry for not answering right away you did nothing wrong. I didn't answer because I was angry at myself for forgetting something so important as this I"m entirely at fault here not you okay.

Ley- Then you're really not gonna take my head off and mount it above your fireplace?

         If one could look into Ley's eyes at this moment it would be all too obvious he was asking this seriously.When the Commander saw how serious Ley was when asking this he made an oath to himself that he would never hesitate with Ley again.

Commander- No I will do no such thing and as for your question my name is Garth, Garth Silverfang. Also I'm not your superior I'm your father or at least I will be once we get back to Darlung and fill out all the legal paperwork to make it official.

             As Ley heard these word that filled his heart with a warmth that he has only felt once before earlier that day he heard something else something that sent shivers down his spine and right into his soul. It was the unsheathing of blades and readying of bows and spells. Garth picked up on it as well but not to the degree Ley did Garth felt the danger on a more instinctual level that came from his years of combat experience. Just then a voice rang out like poison in the air.

???- Garth it looks like you made the biggest error of your life tonight by not continuing on back to Darlung!!! HAHAHAHAHA to think I get the pleasure of killing you tonight and on top of that I'm going to walk away with a priceless treasure that will make me the richest man on the continent.

              Garth knew who this voice belonged to immediately and scowled in true fury as killing intent so powerful raised from inside of him that is was visible in the air as a red misty aura. He howled back at this voice.

Garth- Brak you dirty son of a squag I warned you that night you killed my beloved wife that if I ever saw you again I wouldn't even leave enough of you for the crows to get a nibble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now you want to try and kill me the only reason my wife didn't take your head was because she was with child!!!!!! Did her death at your hand swell your head I can kill you ten times over before you can even try to attack me!!!!!

            By this time Garth's face was covered in not only pure desire to kill but also tears of blood from being forced to remember the horrid image of his mutilated wife and his unborn child that had been cut out of her and beheaded. It was just as he was about to charge the man standing at the other end of the camp smiling in a way even the devil would feel chills that Garth felt something was very wrong. Brak never worked alone he had entire crew that followed and obeyed him so why is he alone? More importantly why are his men just standing around as if nothing was going on? Suddenly something dawned on him and his eyes widened with fear.

Brak- Looks like you finally figured it out. Yes that right my men have been around you this whole time. Did you really think twenty highly trained warriors and mages would just appear out of nowhere. You Garth are nothing more than a fool of a beast. I'm quite sure the actual wolves would be smarter than you HAHAHAHHAHAHA. I'm also quite sure that the reason you don't live with your tribe Is due to them kicking you out for being an idiot of epic proportions HAHAHHAHAHA. As for this mage of your's he'll fetch a good price at the slave auctions.

Luther- Commander don't worry about me take Ley and get out of here!!

Brak- Hm? Ley? Who is that I wonder? Is he someone of great importance? An envoy perhaps? Okay boys listen up kill Garth and bring me that Ley person for questioning !!!

              As Brak gave out his orders both Garth and Luther wanted to curse the heavens for this night that would be their end but Ley felt something different something foreign to him it was like fire inside his head and lightning in his heart. It was anger. For the first time in his life Ley was angry but this wasn't simple anger this was rage, fury, this was wrath. Someone had just given the order to kill the man that gave him real happiness and was going to sell his first actually friend as a slave. It was in this moment that something inside Ley snapped as if the shackles holding down a truly powerful monster had been broken. 

              The sky over the clearing grew darker than even the night, the wind became absolutely still, the air became cold, no sound could be heard other than the ragged breathing of several people that couldn't make sense of what was happening. Garth however did know what was happening he had read every history record his clan had and such occurrences had happened before but not for centuries. This was the sign of the true awakening of an elementor that was brought on by a surge of powerful emotion whether it has anger, fear, joy, or any other emotion a nightwing would never become a true elementor unless they went through this change this awakening that threw the shackles of reality off. From what's known this awakening was rare even when the elementors were in their prime but not unheard of. And here he was bearing witness to the birth of the first true elementor in nearly a millennium and it was his adopted son.

              The moment of the apex was when the elements all converged on and around Ley. It was but a moment's time but what happened after was the true shock the boy in the center of the elemental maelstrom was gone. Then a scream was heard then another and another and in the span of only seconds three of the bandits were dead two had holes blown through their chests and the third had been cut in half at the waist in a not so clean way.

               The bandits were in an utter panic. They could make heads or tails of what had happened but just they started to try and think two more screams sounded out and the bandits looked and saw the two that were holding Luther down were now both headless and the mage was gone. They say the fear of the unknown is the most crippling fear there is but this fear the bandits were feeling in this moment transcended that this was a fear of something that defied their concept of reality. After only a few more moments all of the bandits other than Brak were dead.

Brak- What in the nine hells is happening this doesn't make sense this isn't possible!!!!!!!

                      Just as Brak was ranting Ley appeared in front of him as if out of thin air but the truth was that just as the apex of his awakening finished he had augmented himself to the maximum of his ability with all ten elements and had been moving faster than the human eye can perceive and had only just now stopped.

Ley- You ordered my father killed and made it known that you were to sell my only friend into slavery. I am unfamiliar with the emotion I'm feeling right now as i've never had much contact with people or the chance to feel the whole spectrum of emotions but whatever emotion it is it's telling me right now that I can't feel happy again until you die so that is what you will do.

                   As Ley said these word Brak's face dropped a shade and when paler with each word until he was the color of a piece of paper. Ley then arced his arm back and put all his strength into this one punch. What occurred when Ley's fist made contact with Brak's torso was nothing less than shockingly frightful. In an instant the entire top half of Brak was gone leaving nothing but a slight red mist trailing out behind where what was left Brak stood.

                   It was with this that Ley's anger was gone in an instant like it had never appeared. As Ley looked around him and saw the carnage he had wrought he felt sick and the contents of his stomach vacated his body.

It was at this time that Garth appeared by Ley's side and had look of pride, wonderment, gratefulness, and worry.

Garth- Ley listen to me these men were all murders, thieves, and rapists, they've been on the kill on sight list for years what you did here tonight was bringing justice to a lot of people and ridding the world of some of the most vile scum on the continent. I heard you say you didn't know what the emotion you were feeling at that moment was well it was anger, anger at having your family threatened and it is a completely normal reaction. However you need to learn when you can and can't strike out at those that make you angry these guys deserved to die a worms death but most people will poke at you just because it how the world is and shouldn't be attacked. I have these very issues so I'll teach you some helpful methods to vent your anger when you need to.

Ley- Thank you father. This emotion this anger I...... I don't like it it scares me. Please when we get to Darlung the first thing you teach me has to be how to control this anger thing.

          Tears started flowing from Garth's eyes once again but this time they were from joy. For the first time in his life he had been called father something he had given up on ever being called and he lightly pulled his new son into his arms to help calm him down. From a few feet away Luther saw this scene and made a small sniffle of his own. After about ten minutes they paid no more time on standing around they collected the proof of the bandits demise and headed towards Darlung at full speed with Ley once again passing out do to fatigue while riding with Garth but this time he was in front Garth on the horse with his new father guarding him like a fortress.

Well guys here's today chapter Wednesday we get meet a people of the garrison and maybe ley starts his training his martial combat with Garth. Also If you missed it which would be hard to do I finally have cover art and even if it isn't the prettiest thing ever i can proudly say i made it myself and didn't outsource it like most others do Yay me. Well I hope you have as much fun reading this chapter as I had writing it. Oh and for those of you who think Ley's getting too strong too fast that surge he put on today is not permanent it's kinda like how during super extreme situations and copious amounts of adrenaline is pumping through your body you can do things like lift a car when normally you can barely lift 100 pounds.

Well that's all for today and as always stay chaotic.
