The Soul in the Dark
Summary: When an event happens that is beyond one Hume's control, Tyh goes into confinement, locking away the light that radiated from him, not wanting to hurt anyone else.

Blank faced, Tyh looks down upon the Konschtat Highlands from the highest Dem Crag spire, his scale armour shining in the moons reflection, almost in a trance like state, gazing upon the Crystal, drowning in its aura, he couldn't believe it was here it happened, where the change began, where he failed for the last time.
Somewhere near the boarder of Konschtat near the Valkurm Dunes, a young Mithra was kneeling behind a boulder, staying out of sight from a goblin that she had just barely outran, she could hear the creature calling to its brethren its low pitched grumbling just about audible to Hume ears but as loud as a busy crowd in Upper Jeuno to a Mithra if they was to concentrate, she looked at her vest, slash marks from the goblins dagger, she had wandered too far out, not only was she too inexperienced she was too weak to fight against any of the monsters in the area, her breathing was shallow, the goblin had taken a lot out of her, she turned so her back was to the boulder and leaning against it, she was hoping she could blend into the darkness with her armour and stay out of sight from the goblin.
Back at the Crag, Tyh could feel something, something he feels all the time in the dunes...fear, when training with Zeid he learned to block out all feelings, all but two...Fear and Anger, not only can he use these two emotions to fuel his powers, but also sense them, and what he sensed now was...unreal...the fear...he could feel a fear like no other from someone in the area, and, with a small grin he jumped down from the Spire grabbing his Hellfire Great-sword from the side of the spire as he fell, landing on one knee on the wet soil, his sword plunging into the earth as he did, causing a small quake in the earth slightly, standing up he grasps the sword hilt and yanks the blade out of the earth and clips it onto his back with a small grin, going in search of the source of this fear.
Using what energy she had left she pushed herself up against the boulder that was hiding her from the now grown army of Goblins, her heart started racing, she knew if she moved she would be heard causing the army to attack her, she was up to a crouch now, when suddenly she lost her footing due to feeling a small quake, making her land on her butt with a thud, causing her to yelp in pain.
She then heard the grumbles of the goblins "Oh no" she thought to herself "They heard me!" she stood up and saw the march of five advancing goblins, consisting of butchers and thugs, the moon reflecting off their blades "oh no, this is it for me" She quickly jumped over the boulder using her Mithran speed once more to try and escape from the ambush but was too worn out.
Suddenly a sharp pain coursed through her leg, dropping herself to one leg she looks down, seeing an arrow impaled through the back of her leg, screeching out in pain as another arrow pierced through her lower thigh, dropping to her hands, now crawling as much as she can away from the monsters.
Tyh covered his ears as a loud shriek echoed throughout the Highlands, but then smirked more knowing he was closer, the fear getting stronger, it fuelled him farther, until he saw the source, a Mithra, lying on her stomach almost, if not in tears, two Beastman arrows protruding from her left leg, his eyes widened from surprise as he saw a gang of goblins hot on the Mithra's tail (no pun intended) he saw her head drop and her arms lay lifeless as the goblins closed the distance between them and their feline midnight snack.
Feeling defeated the young cat put her head down in defeat, allowing the monsters to scavenge what would be left of her corpse, but within the first minute she was confused, the goblins were fast, she should have been cut into pieces, but she never was, she never felt the blade tear into her skin, she turned over to see the goblins attacking someone else.
He quickly cast a 'Bind' Spell on the goblins, freezing them in their tracks, he then put his hand behind his head, pulling up from his back his inferno sword, the blade suddenly bursting into flames as he quickly and silently dashed at the army, cutting down each of the beastmen with one cut, parrying the stabs and slashes with his blade, using his anger to strengthen his attacks higher, not stopping until each of the Beastman was lying in a pool of its own blood.
