Eregn was floating in a huge tank of blue liquid hooked up to a breathing machine in a room that looked like a lab with hospital equipment all around, standing in the room with him was a man with a silver mask, Silva, staring at a floating silver cube's with a hologram of Eregn vitals an next to him was the underground king himself Ozul.
" How is he doing ? "
Ozul starred at the screen of information in front of him.
Silva moved his hands around as the cube's information changed to showing a outline of Eregn body.
" He'll live....lucky Sappen an Rubeo found him in time to put him in the mana vault ...its quite astounding really, after we drained his body of all the poison, it naturally started to regenerate, while running other test i tried to run the numbers on his max potential.... it was off the charts.....Last time I've seen numbers like this it was your's an Onyx. "
" An what of Bishop, was he able to finish his task ? "
Silva waved his hand an the screen broke down into mutiple screens one showing the Baron guildhall in ruins an the other screen had a mana vault with a room similar to Eregn's with Bishop inside.
" Reports are that Dreus wasn't there, but his right hand man Ignis Arsenic was an he put up quite the fight...ignis is dead an so is a few of his men Rubeo was able to pick up where Bishop left off even with Sappen getting them here quickly he is still hanging on by a thread even with the mana vault it's not looking good. "
Ozul nodded his head lighting a cigar he got from his pocket lighting it he ponder over the information, intrigued by the information that was displayed he began walking over to the mana vault containing Eregn with his eyes glowing placing his hand on the tank it began to turn purple.
" What are you doing sir ? "
Silva could see the level's of mana getting denser with the pressure increasing, quickly using his cubes to adapt to the new power to stabilize the mana vault.
" If what you say is true then either Dreus will learn his lesson or he'll regroup to strike back an the boy here....this is probably the best time for him to undergo the trials, an with his potential I see no problem loaning him the power now to help complete it.
Ozul continued pumping his shadows into the mana vault until Eregn was gone completely in a layer of darkness.
Ozul taking a step back from the vault his shadow began to rise and whisper in his ear then dropped to the floor he sighed staring intensely at Silva blowing smoke.
" I have other matters to attend to let me know if he pass the trials an when he awakes immediately. "
Silva nodded his head he was intrigued himself by this strange kid who showed up out the blue and with all the data he's collected so far on him has been impressive this was the first time he felt the spark of curiosity since he met Ozul.
Silva began going through film footage from when Eregn first arrived with Luna to when he was in the cells first watching him escape by destroying his collar then by escaping with Bishop he thought that wasn't very impressive, but watching Eregn go to one of the cell's and raise the dead a light twinkle in his eye with a devious smile under his mask.
" So that's your secret your not just a Spellcaster, but something else entirely you control the elemental power of death...but how ? "
Silva continued analyzing over the footage and feats of Eregn ideas of Eregn potential seemed limitless in his eyes and with Silva being a Technomancer information an technology was fuel for him his mask began to glow with a low humming sound emitting from it immediately several cubes began to form around him attaching themselves to Silva glowing with them plans began to flood into his mind and the possibilities.
" Ozul was right this child increase our chance for success tremendously i must make sure that he is stabilizing properly at all times to ensure that he has the best results. "
Silva raised his hands as his cubes and the monitor began to shift an change focusing on Eregn.

Meanwhile a tunnel of jagged ice raced along the lawn of the destroyed Baron Guildhall crashing into trees turning them into a wall of frozen ice sculptures standing at the wake of the destroyed building a man in a blue suit with white hair his skin was covered with frost as his eyes glowed with rage surrounded by the rest of his followers of about fifty men.
" THAT DAMN OZUL I WILL MAKE HIM PAY IF HE THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS....!! "
Baron Dreus eyes began twitching with his maddness setting in as he began muttering to himself covering everything in jagged ice turning the Guildhall surroundings into a frozen tundra his men around him watched with fear as one brave soul stepped forward.
" Sir we've found Ignis... " two men came out levitating the half dead body of Ignis, but before he could react a cloaked figure step out the group of men an began walking towards the body no one could see the figure face, but could hear stifled cries.
The cloaked man looked up at the sky an his hood fell from his head showing green hair similar to ignis except the left part of his hair was shaved so it laid to the right.
" FATHER NO !!!!!!! " the young man began to become outrage punching the ground untill his knuckles started bleeding.
Baron began walking up to young man placing his hand on his shoulder.
" Issac my dear Nephew I promise that the people who did this will pay if it's a war Ozul wants it's what he'll get the days of living in his shadow is Over, I know you want revenge my boy, your father was my brother in arms an best friend and for you an my dear sweet sister i will see it that his killer head is planted at your feet. "
Issac began standing up looking very similar to his father only younger instead of both eyes dark green one was a icy blue.
" No Uncle Dres i want to be the one to end the person who did this...and for that i need power. " clenching his fist as blood dripped from it he began to grit his teeth from the pain.
Dreus nodded his head bringing in his nephew closer to his side.
" I completely understand an for that you'll need to become a proper Spell Knight an enter the academy and of course with your father gone i will train you myself plus with my many connections getting you in will be no problem. "
Dreus turned back around to his men all staring at him anticipating his next actions wondering what he would do or say next as he fixed his suit staring back with his cold blue eyes.
" This is a dark day for the Baron Guild... we have lost many precious brothers an sisters this evening an me being the Guild Master i accept full responsibility... i should have been here, I created this guild to give the ones who were shunned by Society just because like all of us here were dealt unfortunate circumstances turning to crime just to feed yourself, but now i promise you if anyone want to leave i will not blame you nor will not puinish those who do, but if you join me to avenge our fallen the opportunities in the future will be limitless, if you want power, money, or revenge i swear to you once Ozul is gone this city will be ours then will show the world a force so strong even the Grand Council will have no choice but to bow ! "
Dreus finished by raising his fist in the air an the Baron guild began roaring in unison motivated by their leader not one person move to leave.
Dreus looked over each one with his cold calculated eyes " Excellent" he thought the loyalty from his men was unwavering of course he lied about not punishing those that wanted to leave he couldn't afford anyone not in his guild to know what his plans were moving forward.
" Once i gather the finally piece this city will crumble to ruins under my rule. "
