48 The Third Path (1/2)

” A chaos Rune?”asked Rhaen with a complex look on his face.

”We should step outside, I don't want to disrupt the young man's rest”.

Rhaen called for a waiter to bring some tea to the room next door as he couldn't neglect the elder that came all the way from the temple to check on his son.

”I don't know much about the rune itself but I read once in a book called 'The Shattering a History of the War' that each god granted his Generals a special kind of rune that gave them special types of energy that would boost their abilities and were also proof of their might.The fact that your son got rewarded a task with a chaos rune is both good and bad.The fact that the rune has appeared means that trouble times are coming and the fight for the realm is fast approaching, the good news is that the God of War will groom your son into a very powerful being capable of leading his armies”.

”Your son is pretty small and it is best that very few people know about his rune, we are fickle creatures and many heroes had died in the cradle”.

Just when the Elder and Rhaen were finishing their talk a knock came at the door.

Rhaen opened the door and was a little taken a back by the person standing there.

”Good evening Mr. Rhaen ” said the announcer of the Underground Arena.Seeing who it was made Rhaen smile, he had taken close to 1200 gold coins from them and with all the other people that placed a bet on Rahz on the second night it probably left a bad taste in their mouth.

”I don't want to disturb you when you have guest but I would be brief.We would like to offer Rahz the chance to fight to be king of the Level 10 division and proof he is the best.”

” Not interested”

” Wa... Wait Mr. Rhaen don't be so quick to reject, the Leadership of the arena is prepare to offer Kobold Man the same benefits as a second evolution fighter and you can request anything as a reward for the fight”.

”You haven't tell me who he has to fight?”

”Since is a championship fight he will have to fight a Level 11 fighter but judging by Kobold Man's power it should be like taking candy from a baby”

Rhaen paused for a second looking like he was pondering the deal but he was just thinking about what he could get as a reward.After about 5 minutes he snap his fingers and said ” OK!!! He would do the fight but the reward needs to be deliver here in advanced.There is a Dark Elf Girl that is being auction tomorrow by the Best Goods Company.You bring her here and the fight is on for the day after tomorrow, I'll even be kind enough to give you some help”

Rhaen and the announcer shook hands and the elder served as a witness to the deal.The announcer was very clear on who the elder was and didn't dare to try any funny business on the terms of the contract.

After the announcer left, the elder was concerned about the fight as he had not seen Rahz fight in the arena.

”Are you sure he will be alright?”

”With your help, there would be no problem whatsoever.”

The elder was oblivious to what Rhaen meant but then he realized that since Rahz had finished his transformation, it was time to do the evolution ceremony.

Rahz slept until 8 PM at night and woke up with stomach pains like he had being in a desert island with no food for a week.When he walked outside his room, he looked completely different from before, his body was covered with dry up blood, microscopic organ cells and the only thing visible were a pair of Dark Red eyes that shone from time to time.

Rahz saw one of the trainers and asked for his dad and found out that his dad had move to another room as the stench from the puke was unbearable.Rahz made his way to his fathers room and upon opening his room saw his dad polishing his shield and sword.

”How long did I sleep for?”
