four more days passed which equaled two and a half more weeks he was in this space and Damon had successfully slowed the storming rain into a light drizzle. it wasn't long until he was controlling the clouds much better. he was only able to create four clouds so far which were the regular storm cloud and a lesser rain cloud called nimbus, the cumulus he could shape to his desire, and nimbostratus which was a storm cloud that blocked out the sun. these were the type of clouds Damon focused on because they were the same clouds his premature evolution used to create the rain storm he was slowly gaining control of and the more he gained control the clearer his mind became when using his power.
His premature evolution was now the size of a young teen around fourteen years old. for the last few weeks Damon would talk with his demonic twin as he started to call it while focusing on the rain and clouds.
He used very small amounts of demonic ki holding the charge around his hands by creating his gauntlets. no system notifications were popping up nor did they from the time he arrived deep within his mind which monsoon revealed to him was actually a realm that is his own creation.
without the systems informing him when his ki was low or not made Damon natural energy sense increase by a lot. he didn't realize it but once he got the system he began leaning on it in ways that would hurt his growth but because it wasn't active while in his space he had to connect back with his mind and body while following the flow of his energy resulting in him understanding a little more about himself.
Damon also practiced his rain dance fighting style which was coming along very slow. he had only mastered six moves so far and was having a difficult time with his feet movements which were also very unorthodox. the 3rd book monsoon had given him told and and showed him how to perform all moves step by step. there was an image of two black figures with no features. they just looked like 3d stick people but the most interesting thing was they moved.
a description of each movement was at the top of each page and all Damon had to do was read it and the two images in the book would slowly perform that certain move 5 times in a row. Damon followed their movements slowly and gradually tried speeding up.
he was currently practicing a move that if performed correctly he would be able to get his opponent in a position for him to be able to rain down a flurry of elbows all around the upper half of their body. Damon's new fighting style was a style made to push his opponent in awkward positions while giving him better positioning to land his unorthodox attacks but he was having trouble with his foot work.
"didn't your father teach you how to fight and move, at least the basics." monsoon asked while watching him perform sloppy movements.
"yes but I prioritized practicing my ki control way more especially after he left. I guess my one track mind back then caught up with me." Damon responded.
Monsoon was tired of seeing him struggle and provided him with some advice to not step with his toes but the back of his heel instead. the rain dance fighting style was all about pivoting and rotating in an unnormal way. most people pivot with their toes and front part of their feet. this fighting style was the opposite using the middle sole and back part which is the heel of a person's feet giving them complex steps. of course he would his his entire feet with this style of fighting but when it came to repositioning for a counter attack with certain moves in the book the back side of his feet were essential for perfect movement.
After the day was done Damon walked back inside and began reading more about his rain and cloud powers. he learned that he could produce certain clouds that would create different types of rain but it had to be done naturally and it depended heavily on the weather itself. for example if Damon was in a colder region or an area that was cold enough with the right moisture he could then create a cirrocumulus cloud which was a cloud that could produce ice crystals instead of rain. there was also another called the nimbostratus cloud which would produce snow.
Reading all of this information Damon instantly felt that the clouds were his true power and with the systems help he wondered if he could get to a point where certain conditions didn't have to be met in order to use these types of clouds. there were four main types which were.
Stratus
Cirrus
Cumulus
Cirrostratus
"man if I can learn this I would have multiple ways to deal with anyone or anything. I would definitely be a tough opponent for anyone." he said softly while his eyes remained glued on the pages of information.
there were other clouds as well but they were all another form of one of the main four.
"monsoon how did you become the way you are and how did you get this type of power." he asked.
"that's a long story but I will share with you a few things after you complete your objective. in fact it seems I must after the foe You've run into that forced me to put you in this state which was bad but also good because you're learning more and once you return you'll be much better than before." monsoon said.
Damon nodded and decided to stop his studies to rest. while resting with his eyes closed Damon went over the foot work and moves of the fighting style in his head until he drifted off.
Back in obsidian city Old man butcher sat beside Damon's body with many thoughts. it had been a total of ten days already and Damon was still unconscious. he had dressed Damon up a bit as well. Damon was now wearing a blue and white linen outfit with a small image of gold praying hands embedded on the left shoulder.
Javalin was still by his side and hadn't moved much. "how's he doing old man.a young familiar voice spoke in the doorway of the room. his condition is the same as far as him being unconscious but it isn't normal at all. usually when people are in a state like this they begin to lose weight and muscle rather quickly but not in Damon's case which is either extremely odd or Damon isn't like the rest of us." he said to jolly who was there to check on Damon. " oh come on old man we are all different so yes technically Damon isn't like any of us." he said weirdly.
Old man looked at jolly in a way as if saying you know what I meant and to not act dumb. "Just to be clear I know more about Damon than you may think. I also know he's in fact way different from us and you are as well. so don't treat me like I'm some idiot boy. jolly was surprised and taken aback by old man butcher words.
He knew Damon informed old man butcher about a few things but highly doubted he told him about him being half demon and about himself being half of an ancient being called a drow or dark elf so the thing that crossed his mind was old man butcher senses and intuitive mind. "does he know about us being different in that way,or is he talking about something else perhaps." jolly thought to himself while looking around oddly.
"you're just a kid. if you don't want people to pick your brains so easily you should do better with your body language when someone asks or says something to you pertaining to what you don't want them to know." old man said turning back around.
"you know what, I'll keep that in mind. ahhh yea, just let me know when he wakes up ok." jolly said backing out the doorway a little flustered. he wasn't worried about Damon in the slightest because shield had already told him that Damon would be fine and that it would take some time. so during Damon's unfortunate circumstances shield took time up with jolly and within a few days his powers improved as well.
shield was a very good teacher and allowed jolly to make his own mistakes and also gave him time to try and figure it out himself. the thing was shield didn't know much about the type of power that jolly had. he knew of elves and their power but never had the opportunity to face one in battle as they were before his time. his people that came way before him such as his father and older brothers and sisters knew more about them than him because they faced them before in the past.
Jolly learned a few things about shield that Damon didn't even know which was he was the youngest out of all of his siblings on his planet and that the age gap was pretty wide. Shield had only heard stories and read books about elves, and dark elves weren't mentioned very often but he did know of them. this made jolly question shield about how he knew what he was which shield told him because of a certain item one of his siblings has that was told to him to have been belonged to and created by a powerful elf thousands of years ago. the power the elf used to create the item was strong and still resided in the item to this day.
