Balerian got the first watch that night and what happens next no one was expecting. During Balerian Shift he
fell asleep and Shadex knew he would so he stayed awake and kept watch Shadex saw a better vantage
point in a cave in the rock face over them so using his techniques he scaled the 30 feet to the cave when he
looked into the cave he saw a bright light in the back he went to go investigate it he shadow melded and was
so quite no one would ever know he was there when he go to the shop where the light was he saw some
strange looking Gnolls they were different then anything he had ever seen and they spoke in Elvish of all
languages being a wood elf he knew what they were saying but it was just a simple conversation then he saw
something even stranger a Blue and Green as well as Red Orcs all together he was flabbergasted he
couldn't even believe what he was seeing Shadex walked forward and tossed a rock at the other wall and
one of the Gnolls went to check it out when he did Shadex used a throwing dart and hit him in the back of
the neck when the other guard heard the ruckus he ran over he saw the blood but before he could say
anything Shadex came up behind him and used his kodachies to detach the Gnoll from its head he hid the
bodies so no one would find them easily. He then walked into the chamber where the rocs had gone. He saw
not only were there Green, Blue , and Red Orcs there were frost goblins and other types of goblins along
with dark elves and Trolls and Ogres. Shadex knew hat the ranks of these ones were all Generals they were
planning something big and he had to stop it so he was thinking of getting shadow to come help him but when
he turned around there was shadow and Kenshin right behind him he was so shocked he almost fell over
Shadex: Wahh what in the world are u guys doing here?
Kenshin: you think we trust Balerian?
Shadow: I just wanted to learn from you so I was doing anything a dedicated pupil would do Sensei
Shadex: ok ok well there's a room full of nasties in there.
Shadow: we can take them they aren't ready for a fight>
Shadex turned quickly and drew his kodachies Shadow drew one of his Daggers and a Kodachi he wasn't
so skilled with a Kodachi as Shadex was so he relayed on his dagger still he had all of his old weapons but
he also had a second Kodachi he was ready. Kenshin just walked into the room nonchalantly and looked at
the Orcs and charged them while Shadow and Shadex killed the goblins and Gnolls when they felt they were
done Shadex turned to see a dark elf he had forgotten about him he was hit right in the face by the dagger of
the dark elf he assumed was a rogue or assassin the dark elf then turned onto shadow and stabbed him the
wrist and shadow screamed and fell to the floor he was out Shadex stood up and watched the dark elf's
speed he dogged Kenshin's attacks he was faster then Shadex and Kenshin Shadex felt something inside him
self he had never felt before it was the lust for power and death his eyes changed to a bright yellow he was
now a death craving monster he saw Kenshin get kicked into the wall and pass out the dark elf turned and
saw Shadex standing and said
"why wont you just leave I am giving you a chance to live take it you fool"
With this Shadex exploded in rage and the dark elf was in awe because he couldn't even see Shadex that's
how fast he was he wasn't even a blur he wasn't even there he ended up behind the dark elf and whispered
in his ear
"To bad I am not kind as you are you bumbling idiot"
With that Shadex plunged his Kodachies into the elf's chest and neck and he spun so he was back to back
with the elf he split the elf in half from the belly button up. Shadex was covered in blood and his hair was
dripping wet he had a cut going across his eye and he could see perfectly but the scar was so bad he used
hair to cover the eye so it wasn't seen he almost never opened up his left eye because it was always a bright
yellow while his right was most the time purple but when he opened up his left he right became yellow and he
felt the lust for blood. Shadow and Kenshin were awake to she Shadex standing there with blood covering
him and he looked so different shadow could feel his power and all the sudden it was gone Shadex fell to
one knee and when he did his right eye became purple and he closed his left eye he stood up and walked to
shadow and pulled the dagger from his wrist and he took it cleaned the dagger and kept it along with the
cloak the dark elf had he after that day took a memento from all that he killed using his true power. Kenshin
wasn't hurt and they helped Shadow to Carra and she healed him. Balerian was awake at this time and saw
Shadex who was taking buckets of water and pouring them over him self while fully clothed the water
coming off of Shadex was pure red and he used 5 buckets already Balerian knew what Shadex was going
through because he him self had the same evil blood thirsty side in him but he let it eat him alive until that is
what he became. But Shadex fought off this killer inside himself and it seemed to be working. Shadex had
sedated his blood hungry side for the mean time he only wanted to get the blood of that elf off of him self and
after 30 buckets of water it was completely gone. And they set off yet again for The Valley of Death.
