3 Days before..

Ken and Jeff wander together in the forest of scorched souls as it was locally know ,it was their assignment to defeat a lvl15 beast of sins and bring its head back, It was supposed to be a beast that looked like a caterpillar with a giant head that made their homes inside big trees, this was the assignment given to them to achieve the martial disciple title, both of them were warned not to go too deep into the forest.

As they kept searching for their beast with the rest of their class ,Jeff kept on hearing some weird noise from a particular direction so they both went in that direction and realized that they had come a little deep into the forest Ken suggested they should head back , but Jeff kept on insisting on going in a particular direction even though Ken couldn't hear any voice that Jeff was talking about suddenly Jeff started running at an inhuman speed ,Jeff knew something was wrong he tried to follow him and suddenly saw a big beast that took Jeff in its claws and leapt deeper into the forest , Ken could hear the scream of his best friend fading into the distance, Ken knew he had no time to go back and call for help he could sense the aura of the beasts deeper into the forest, even though his instincts were telling him to go back Ken kept going forward.

After an hour of following the aura he finally reached a cave and rushed in, he could see many human and beast skeletons outside the cave and knew this was no ordinary beast he was dealing with when he reached the end of the layer he saw the beast that looked like a cross between a lizard and a scorpion, he was struck with a feeling of despair as he saw the blood of Jeff splattered all across the area, his chest opened up and the beast feasting on his heart....

deep within came a feeling of boiling rage that he never had felt in either of his life's with that enigma of rage he clenched his fists and lunged on the beast ,the beast whisked its tail and hit Ken who then went flying on to the side and hit a wall ,he could hear his bones breaking and the beast kept on feeding ,Ken felt helpless and enraged at the same time .As tears rolled down his cheeks he got up again and leapt towards the beast that gave no heed to the efforts of Ken and kept whisking him away, Ken concentrated on his fists that were bloodied from his own blood again to make them harder, no matter how many times even the hardened fists didn't affect the beast Ken was reaching the end of his line finally a familiar voice greeted him again it was his inner conscience it gave him two choices either run and hope to save yourself or ......

Ken got up for the final time with all his might concentrated in his arms suddenly surrounding energy began to flow into him ,he felt an unbearable pain in both of his arms barely conscious he kept on going till his muscles bulged outwards.

The beast felt a feeling that it had not felt in a long time, the feeling of fear that suddenly surged through him, it got up and flung both of its claws towards Ken ,as it came towards Ken ,he stepped right up and flung both of his arms toward the beast a big shock wave was created that flung Ken back towards the wall which knocked him out for a few minutes ,as he woke up ,he saw the carcass of the beast lying in front of him and both of his hands were missing, it blew off in the fight.

Ken was acting on instincts alone now he went towards the carcass fell into it and started devouring it, tearing its flesh apart with his teeth's all whilst having a dark grin on his face , crawling and smothering himself with it until it was devoured completely and the little consciousness he had faded away...

As he woke up he saw his arms where back to normal, he collected the remains of Jeff and buried them with a funeral that only he held and attended he said goodbye to Jeff one last time and went back on his way ,with a heart grimmer than before he walked the path of an emperor or a dictator ,only time would tell.....
