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.
