The ogre attempted to make his way towards Zerron, in an attempt to stop hims from producing any more fire. The more he moved, the more his internal organs got worse until they eventually burst on fire. The ogre let out one last groan of pain before he died.

Seeing the ogre die the goblins ran away as fast as they could. The observation goblin who had been hanging back the whole fight had already left as was long gone.

Zerron saw the beast fall as his eyes burned out, making sure he was dead.
he also saw the goblins run for their lives, seeing what happened to the orge.
"You better run for your lifes! this is what you and your lord will get when you show your faces to me next!"
he breathed deeply as he calmed the flames around him and trinity, calming himself as well. "Are you okay trinity?" he sat against a burned tree for a litte to regain his strength.

sean examined the sword as the man spoke. it felt like his own sword, famillar but different somehow. he also felt something else in his hands as well.
what is this, feeling?

"it's the power that you have yet to touch Sean. You can do a lot more with crimson lightning than regular lightning."
This boy may have some power to him after all if that sword's reacting already.
"lets see how well you can handle that sword, shall we?" he drew seans sword and got ready to fight.

Sean drew out the other sword to find that it was black. the same as his dagger. he swung it a few times and it felt like it was ment for him. he got into a fighting stance as he waited.
I'll see what I can do with this...

Zerron handed her his coat, making sure not to move around the tree. "sure, you can borrow it again. there should be a village past this forest."
he looked down at the ground, thinking about that memory again....

Could this be the same demon that caused.... no I shoudn't think about that, not now.
he looked up at the burned trees again.
But she's in the same situation you where in back then.
"It's the least I can do."
he thought for a little and spoke again. " Trinity, I've had to deal with a situation that was like yours right now...." he hesitated a little. " I just felt like helping was the right thing to do..."

The same words echoed in an empty head as he reappeared, fully healed, in a secluded patch of forest.
Your marriage is cursed...
It was truly if, in the path of their relationship, every conceivable obstacle had been hurled in their way, every trial, every hardship... It was almost too much to stand...

As the mind agonized over the swirlings of fate, the shadows had a very definite idea where death was to be found in great and glorious quantities. He started walking in search... of goblins...

Zerron looked over at trinity then looked back down.
Might as well tell her what you can manage right now...
"it all happened when we where younger.... along with my heart. she was the only other person that could match me in skill, but we had each others hearts. even through we where both flame ninja, I watched her back and she watched mine." he looked down at metallic bracelet on his wrist for a little bit before he spoke.
"then that day came when a powerful demon attacked the group we taught. My master got me out of there but...I didn't want to... " he hesitated as he spoke.
"I went back to find no one there, but a portal close.... all I could find was this bracelet...it was the one I gave to her the night before. " he just stared at the bracket, thinking about her, about the last time he saw her, ever. he wish he could forget it...

" I looked for a week, but couldn't find a single sign of her anywhere. untill I came back to the vilage ablaze... and saw her destroying it..." he hesitated as he spoke. " I tried to talk to her, but her words where harsh. when she fought me, she was enraged, somehow her flames where off..." he looked up, his eyes dazed off past trinity, affected by the memory.



"but thats not all you can do... you can also control someone with it as well." he smiled as he twisted his hand and watched sean.

sean was still shocked at the power then he tried to move, but he couldn't control his body. he tried to fight it, but he was slowly and painfully made to kneel before this master.
"Wh.... what do you want?"

"let me finish and I'll let you decide."
he looked around as a thunderstorm swirled around them.
"wonderful area, don't you think? My great grandfather was able to become one of the greatest lightning masters of time weilding both of these weapons. but he was specail and so am I! I was exiled because I questioned way the sword of storms was passed down.

something in sean started to wake up from deep within.
ready to use your new power? lets listen to what he has to offer first.
his eyes started to glow crimson as he keeled. red sparks starting to form around sean as this new found power started to expand.

He froze in place, then turned on the spot as black flames consumed him, taking him to his master, ready to hear his orders...

In the presence of so much shadow, he was powerless to resist.

"Yes... master. I... I understand."
The real Tyrcestus was stomped on, subdued, destroyed and annihilated, his memories being ripped out and discarded.
It was like he was knocked unconscious in his own head, and the shadows made his face smile. An evil settled in his head, almost like Martyris, an evil Martyris, taking control and making him bow, turn, vanish in flames and appear in the village that Trinity and Sean were heading to, waiting patiently for them, wearing his body like a mask...

"you do have a point there, lets get to the next village quickly then. " He smiled as he heard trinity say that she would keep fighting.
"I'm glad to hear that. And I'll be your expert on the matter then."
and if it turns out to be the same demonic ******* who took Valen from me, I'll make he suffers ten fold of what the orge got.

"Now, for your choices. I was just planning on killing you like the others, but since you've shown me so much I'll take you in.

"and my sword? will I get it back? or at least keep this one?"

Zerox laughed a little.
"the whole purpose behind this was for me to have both blades so a grand master can rise again! I'll just give you one of my other swords....

okay sean, lets take this ******* after he said that to you. all he cares about is himself and control. you on the other hand can be a one man army.
Seans eyes flashed crimson as he looked up.
"you know, I do have another option for you..."
he slowly stood up as the storm moved faster.
"One that puts my sword back into my hand!"


Zerox didn't like the idea
" So you want me to just kill you then....." at that time he saw the glow of his eyes. oh shit, where is his....
"where's your dagger?" he steped back a little fearing the worst.

"heh, you mean that controling piece?" he smiled as he let lose a bolt of crimson lightning into the master.
"must have lost it."

Zerox's eyes widened a little as he heard Sean....before he got knocked back.
