"Oh great," I mumbled under my breath, but once again I forced myself to become stricter and more disciplined.
"Ok right this way to the arena." Erebus teased with obvious pleasure. He led me down a path that was lined by dark houses. However I seemed to sense a feel of life actually in the place, even though it was full of shades. The street was lit by a glowing material that shown a deep yellow. I looked upwards and saw that the ceiling was lined with jagged stalactites.
We rounded a bend and came to a stop in front of a giant fenced in area. Erebus waved his hand and a section of fence disappeared and he walked inside. I followed observing my surroundings. Erebus came to a stop near the center and motioned for me to do likewise. "Here you will learn the ways of the shadow. Both in shadow travel and in the art of staying unnoticed by concealment. I will teach you, but I warn you it will not be easy."
"I understand, I withdrew any complaint after I pledged myself in allegiance to The King Chaos." I answered with the upmost sternness and dignity.
"Very well, we shall begin." And with that we began. It was indeed a long and difficult process involving several accidental trips. At the end of the session my body felt exhausted and drained. I felt like I had took apart my body and reassembled it to many times, which of course I had. I slumped against the fence and stood there panting for quite some time. My visions was encircled by black and I couldn't stand straight. And this was what it was like for the next couple of months.
It was non-stop work, always tired and drained of energy. The only free time I was allowed was to sleep. I spent every waking hour teleporting from place to place. When I was to exhausted to do that I was training to blend into my surroundings. Until suddenly it stopped being tiring. I could teleport anywhere at any given moment. I could dodge an incoming projectile by shadow traveling behind the shooter and disable them.
"Very nice," Erebus congratulated as I finally beat all the exercises he had for me. I had just faced a group of twenty archers with nothing more than a simple hunting knife.
"Thank you sir." I said and I took a knee in front of him.
"Omega we spoke of this..." Erebus started.
"I know, but my time has come for me to depart for my final mission for Chaos. And it is time for me to pay my respects." I concluded.
"I was aware of this, ahh I will miss you my comrade." He said and grasped my forearm.
"And I you." And I broke away form his grip, I turned and spread my wings causing the light to shine off them. I soared up, up until I had nearly ran into the roof and I teleported away, this time not looking back.
A/N this chapter was short so I am uploading another one as well.
