Chapter 2 the past
"alright junior my story begins when I was born which by the way was during the middle of a battle and not a battle between us and the monsters on the other side of the wall, no it was a battle between United Kingdom's, you see before these lands became covered with blood and fear of the monsters, there used to be thousands of territories and towns on this island and just like our past and probably our future, humans killed humans. in the middle of my birth there was a battle taken place between two territories, when our ancestors first came here we were all one big kingdom that took up most of the island until it had split apart into two big kingdoms, one of the two big kingdoms were called the liberators and the other called the democratic-republic of hope, the liberators just went around wreaking havoc in the lands "freeing people from unjustified rule" and the DRH were more so the protectors of the people trying to go back to being one big kingdom again, one of the liberators big raid was at a small castle where my parents lived and wanted to start their own family starting with me, but right when I was being born the liborators knocked down the gates and started storming in, burning and killing everything in their path, the castle I was in was allies with the DRH so when they heard about the invasion they immediately came to help came people were already running out of the kingdom covered in flames, everything was on fire you couldn't tell who was the liberators or who was a normal person living in the castle so the DRH army grabbed tree logs and blocked the broken gate so nothing can leave after that they climbed the walls then shot down into the castle with their arrows and they did this for three days and inside those walls the liberators was lie, just a mask for people to think they are human they were so much worse. during those three days the liberators had their fun with the people in the town eating them and burning them alive, the small home that we had was the last stand we had in the castle and that is where I was finally born. my parents tried their hardest to leave the castle and everyone that was still alive tried to help them, they had left the house through the back while everyone left was fighting the liberators at the front of the house. they left for the closet exit my mother holding me in her arms while my father was fighting and killing every demon in our way one of the healers that helped birth me told my parents about a old sewer tunnel that would lead outside the castle walls past DRH security so that was our safest bet but while my parents were heading to the tunnel a pack of the demons had jumped on my father from the roofs he fought back as much as he could but there was just to many demons on him slowly eating his skin "run now" he said as he reached his coat and grabbed a narrow bottle full of some black liquid and he threw it at his feet, blowing up both him and the demons around him, my mother barely escaped the explosion she whipped her face that was full of tears and screaming out of anger and frustration while she was running toward the sewer tunnel in the wall, with the scream that she did she alerted a lot more demons that came running after us finally I was able to see a lot better and I looked at a man who was standing on one of the roofs and I swear to this day he looked at me dead in my eyes, he had these bright yellow eyes that could brighten a room if he wanted than he disappeared from the roof and I was able to hear my mother scream again as she ran towards the hole in the wall, the demons behind us were catching up and fast, lucky there was DRH troops on the wall shooting at the demons behind us and at us "don't let anyone pass" they said as their arrows came through the smoke of the flames but with the smoke and the arrows, me and my mother just slipped away into a house while the DRH and the demon/liberators fought, she kept moving house to house until we finally made it to the hole in the wall. As we came out from the other end of the wall she looked back to listen to the screams of her friends, and all the people she cared for slowly die but she couldn't stop, she always thought there would be an end but she doesn't think that anymore she looked back at the tunnel and ran through it. she ran all the way to a hill on the hill you couldn't hear the screams of the people or see the smoke covering the sky, but someone was there waiting for her on the hill it looked like the same thing that I saw on the roof and he was very joyful for some reason, instead of human legs he had these deer like legs and he looked more stronger than any Viking you've seen but didn't have as much muscle show, he had these horns on his head and black dark wings on his back that went through his red suit but it looked like he didn't get that suit from any of the kingdoms or markets maybe even this timeline but enough of what he looked like the real thing is what he wanted "good evening ma'am" said the man "oh thank god help the castle is in flames and I have a new born child" said my mother "I know it's beautiful isn't it? the flames slowly tearing down the buildings the smoke blocking the light it's all an amazing thing is it not?" said the man "your one of them one of the liberators aren't you" asked my mother "mm? Oh yes I am the leader of this group you could call me Abaddon but I don't really go by that but enough about me who is this child you have here?" said Abaddon "he's no one you can have" said my mother as she pulled me away from Abaddon eyesight "oh really, it's hard to keep me away from someone when your dead or being eaten alive because I'm pretty sure some of the DRH troops saw you and are going to come over here and most likely kill you and the child or I can summon my troops of chaos and let them eat you alive and I'll take the child myself" said Abaddon, my mother was scared and trembled with fear "I give you to him, will you take care of him?" asked my mother "of course I will" said Abaddon with a grin across his face. I would like to think my mother didn't want to give me to him but when she was walking away, a group of DRH troops start heading their way over towards her and Abaddon, my mother stops for a minute to think, she then handed me over to Abaddon and then she gets a load of pure rage going through her body, she pulls out a sword and a shield then she starts running towards the group of DRH troops "the boy's name is Elijah Valdez make him the greatest please" said my mother as she jumped into the group of the DRH as Abaddon watched "Elijah huh? That's a nice name" said Abaddon as he turned around and when he turned around a dark portal looking thing appeared. The last thing I remember before my eyes closed for what felt like an eternity was my mother screaming out in rage and Abaddon laughing as we entered the portal. When I was finally able to open my eyes I couldn't see anything but darkness and my body. I was older somehow even though it feels like I just got into this dark world but then I heard him "Oh boy we are going to have some fun right?" Abaddon said while he laughed like a maniac and then I could see his bright yellow eyes right above mine I tried to say something but I don't remember what I was trying to say but I do remember that when I opened my mouth his eyes turned into a shadow and went inside of my body then I was asleep for a long while I think for three years I was asleep but when I woke up I wasn't in the darkness anymore I was in front of a house but I had a feeling I knew who it was so I stood up and knocked on the door and a huge man with a beard on his chin opened the door "h- hello?" I said the man looked down and saw me "oh you poor child what has happened to you here come inside" said the man as he picked me up and looked at me all over seeing these scars that I didn't even see until then and he put me down and took me inside his home where I saw a group of people sitting on a table staring at me with a scared worried look on their face "here let's get you cleaned up" said the man as he pushed me towards a door and inside the door was a bathtub and a toilet with a sink and a mirror he got a log and lifted me onto the log and put me near the sink and started washing the dirt and stuff off my hands and I didn't even know I had clothes on until I saw myself in the mirror "here let me get a rag to put around your arms to stop the bleeding" said the man as he left me in the room as I keep on cleaning myself I could hear the man and a woman talking in the other room "honey I think that is my brothers child" said the man "but if that's true then your brother can only be dead" said the woman and I could hear the man gasp for air in shock "the real question is how did he survive this long he looks four years old and didn't my brothers village get destroyed years ago?" said the man "I think so but what are we going to do with him we can barely hold with our kids' 'said the woman "I know but we have no choice I made a promise and I plan to keep it" said the man. I looked in the mirror confused and scared, finally the man came back in the bathroom with the rag "alright let's stop this bleeding" said the man "what were you and that woman talking about in the other room" I said "well first off that woman is my wife and we were talking about what the hell we were going to do with you" said the man "you said brother were you talking about my father?" I said "yes now if you're smart you should already know that I am your uncle and that woman is your aunt" my uncle said "wait you also said that he was dead is that true?" I asked my uncle, who took a deep breath and told me that he died when my village was attacked three years ago. "Wait three years ago?! It doesn't feel that long" I said "Huh? Speaking of which, how did you survive this long" my uncle said "I don't know all I remember is seeing a man with dark wings and red eyes, and then after, that it was just dark for a while,e and then I got taught something by this man with a beard he was in a darkish red suite and he taught some stuff about the world like time and something called the art of war and all of the kingdoms in the world and something else called math that was torture" I said to my uncle and he just started laughing for some reason that he never told me after he was done laughing he started pouring water in a wide bucket then he started putting something in the water that made bubbles that started floating around the room and one was heading my way but at the time I had no idea what it was "what are these?" I asked "They are called bubbles and they can be made by mixing water and this thing called soap that helps clean your body more than water does by itself,f," my uncle said "I don't remember learning about that from the guy that was teaching me," I said "well from what you told me it sounds like that man was preparing you for a war now I'm going to need you to take off your clothes and hop in the tub I will be outside if you need anything okay?" my uncle said, "okay wait what if I drown?" I said "I'll be outside so anything that happens I'll be able to hear it," my uncle said with a smile "Now hurry up and clean yourself," my uncle said and he stood up and walked out closing the door behind him. After I took everything off I hopped in the tub and started cleaning myself. I got done with cleaning myself and hopped out of the tub "I'm done" I said towards the door "Okay get the towel it looks like a huge rag and put it around your waist" my uncle said from the other side of the door. "I did it," I said and he came inside and gave me some clothes to wear and then he stepped back out "alright those are your clothes," he said after I put the clothes on I knocked on the door telling my uncle that I was done and he opened the door "look at you boy you're looking nice," my uncle said "really? You think so?" I said "Boy I know, now let's go eat," my uncle said, "What are we going to eat?" I asked "This thing called ramen we bought it from a Chinese kingdom called hikona you should know which kingdom I'm talking about that guy should have told you," my uncle said "I know what hikona is but he never taught me about ramen," I said "well you're going to love this," my uncle said as we started walking towards the kitchen and in a room right next to the kitchen was a big table with about 8 people sitting around it "this is your family," my uncle said as he pushed me into the room towards them telling me who each one was "this is your aunt, Selina," my uncle said as he pointed towards the women right next to a very tall man who was my uncle George and then my uncle pointed to another tall but old man in a rocking chair "that is your grandpa Sam," said my uncle. My uncle went up to a woman that was sitting next to Grandpa Sam. "This is my girlfriend, Angela, your auntie," said my uncle. "Come sit down and eat," said Angela, and I went over to the table and sat down to eat with them. After a while of eating the food we heard a knock on the door, my uncle got up to open the door and there was these two men in nice professional clothes "the tenth king Michael requests one man from each family to join in the national army of gods crusaders'' said the man at the door, my uncle looked around and then looked back to the man at the door "I will go in the name of our family" he said "no please don't go I just meet you please don't leave please" I cried as I ran towards him grabbing his shirt trying to drag him back from the door and while I was doing that the man at the door punched me in the face to the ground and then dragged me outside and threw me to the ground "you child what is your name?" said the man as I got back up from the ground "Elijah Valdez'' I said "well Eli I'll make a deal with you if you beat me in a fight you will replace your father or whoever he is to you but if not then your father will have no choice to join the national army do we have a deal?" said the man "yes we have a deal" I said as I ran at him trying to get a punch on him but he quickly got on one knee and grabbed my fist, punched my gut while tripping me to the ground and then punched my gut again, making me spit out blood on his face. He stands up from punching me to the ground and snatches a rag from my uncle as he jumps back from the man. "This boy is weak, he didn't stand a chance against me, more so weaker than anyone," the man said as he started cleaning his face. "You people are terrible teachers or whoever did teach him," said the man. "I'm not done yet, I- I can still fight," I said as I was struggling to get up "Huh maybe he is strong '' said the man, he grabbed my shirt trying to help me up from the ground. When I got halfway from above the ground he finally let go and kicked me in the gut, tossing me to the tree nearby (he hated my guts for some reason). "Okay we are done here I'm getting bored, but the boy's father is on your horse, and let's get out of here before the general gets mad," said the man and he got up onto his horse while the other man grabbed my uncle and left us there I never saw after that. "Anyways that's how I lost my parents," said Elijah as he looked over the traveler sleeping in his seat with a half-eaten turkey bone in his hand "god maybe I am getting old now my stories are boring oh well I got to carry him to a bed," said Elijah as he goes to pick up the traveler from his seat. A knock came from the door "excuse me lord but we found a bedroom for the child" said zeke "oh good he just fell asleep lead the way" said Elijah as he walks over to zeke with the traveler in his arms, and they walked to the room where the traveler was to sleep in, when they walked in the room it was filled with some Japanese culture in it with a queen size bed in it and on the opposite side of the bed was a stature with samurai armor on it looking at the bed "when did we have this room?" said Elijah "this room is for any Japanese representative from hikona that are staying the night it's been awhile since we had one in here though I've heard they are leading more to side with old Valhalla then new Valhalla, did lord Nicky seem more friendly towards lord Anthony at that meeting you attended" said zeke "you know he did actually, at the meeting today Anthony called out Nicky about the war of Valhalla but he didn't say anything back this time only neils replied, in the morning I want you to go to the priest and the situation and see what they think" said Elijah "do you think there will be a second Valhalla war lord?" said zeke "it's possible but if there is i'll need to call in the national army and to get enough men then I'll need the approval of god" said Elijah "yes lord I will speak to the priests'' said zeke. Elijah walked to the bed and laid the traveler under the sheets and walked back to zeke who was waiting at the door and Elijah stood next to zeke looking back at the bed "what is your plan for the kid my lord?" said zeke "he's going to be my heir to the throne, I have no son and if we get into another war, I might not come back from it, I barely came back from the last war" said Elijah "very well lord" said zeke "what do you think of the name alastor?" said Elijah "it sounds great lord is that what your gonna name your next animal?" said zeke "no he's going to be alastor" said Elijah as he points towards the traveler "oh well it's a good name but let's leave the naming people to god shall we" said zeke with a smile on his face "fine but gods going to hear my opinion about alastor I think it's a good name" said Elijah "I'm sure he will lord" said zeke with a chuckle "alright zeke I'm going to bed goodnight I will see you in the morning" said Elijah "goodnight lord" said zeke as they both went to their bedrooms and fall asleep.
At a building in old Valhalla two men walk into a huge room with three men talking around a big table "Where is lord Anthony" said one of the two Vikings everyone in the room stopped talking and on the right side of the room was a giant chair and in the chair was a giant man holding a giant horn mug "what do you want from the king of Valhalla" said Anthony "uh lord the person we took from the black market is still alive and well my king but he wishes to speak with you" said Viking two "very well" said Anthony as he gets up from his chair and starts walking to the room that the man is staying in with two Viking guards alongside with him. Anthony walks into the room that the man is staying in, the man is lying in the middle of his bed with badges all over his chest "You wanted to see me" said Anthony "Yes I did" said the man "Glad to see you feeling well now what is it you wanted to talk about" said Anthony "I would like to talk about it alone please" said the man "very well wait outside the door" said Anthony and the two Viking guards walked out the door and waited outside the door "okay now they are gone, tell what your secret thing is about" said Anthony "okay here's what you're going to do" said the man. The next day Elijah wakes up in his master bedroom and Elijah looks out the balcony from his bed and see the sun coming from over the horizon "good morning lord I prepared you and the traveler breakfast downstairs also lord luy wants to have meeting with you about military troops" said zeke as he ran through the door "thank you zeke you are so helpful" said Elijah as he gets up from his bed and puts on a black coat "also some of the knights have taken hank for a walk in the kingdom" said zeke "oh okay that's good me and the traveler have a lot of work to do" said Elijah "ah very well sir are you going to teach everything your teacher gave you?" said zeke as and Elijah started walking to the breakfast that zeke prepared "of course I will give him all of the wisdom I have endure until the day I am taken from this earth and he will soon one day past me and my generation" said Elijah "let's hope that isn't soon lord" said zeke "yes if it is in god's plan" said Elijah as he stood in front of two doors with zeke "now then let's eat this breakfast you made" said Elijah as he opens both of the doors and a bunch of men are crowded an around a table shouting and cheering at something Elijah and zeke go up to the crowd trying to see what everyone was screaming about "excuse me" Elijah said repeatedly passing by the shouting and cheering men when Elijah finally got through the crowd he saw the traveler and a man in full iron armor with black lines going all over the armor and an extra black armor plate on his left shoulder and they are arm wrestling although their fists are not moving but the traveler was sweating so much trying to win this arm wrestle and the man wasn't breaking a sweat trying to stop his arm from going down while everyone else was still shouting and cheering zeke finally got through the crowd too and the man saw lord Elijah and zeke so he finally took down the travelers hand down on the table making him the winner of the arm wrestle. Some stories say this was the traveler's first loss in his life. "Everyone stands at attention," said the man looking at Elijah and everyone stood straight up looking at Elijah, the traveler is looking around very confused "Present arms," said the man, and everyone lifted their hands to their eyebrows "Everyone goes back to your barracks except for you captain," said Elijah and everyone walked out of the room while the traveler, Elijah, Zeke, and the man. When everyone finally left Elijah looked over at the traveler and the man "Sir I was just seeing how strong the kid was" said the man "Yeah we were just trying to see how tough I was before I train" said the traveler "Yeah that's fine I just wanted to speak to my ground commander Edwin" said Elijah as he grabs a cup and sits down with Marco and the traveler but Zeke is still standing up "what did you want to talk about sir?" said Marco"in four days we are to go on the other side of the wall with lord luy and a new lord that has been outside the wall before, lord Jonathan. So I'll need you to train 400 of my normal army that will accompany us to go on the other side of the wall" said Elijah "Sir I don't think I can train 400 of the normal army in four days and prepare them for what's on the other side" said Marco"I believe you can, you and my master trained me in a shorter amount of time there's also a small chance that they won't even fight anything lord Riley's men have reported to everyone that they haven't seen anything near the wall" said Elijah, Marco looks down at his boots and thinks for a while "yes sir I'll get you 400 strong holy men" said Marcos he gets up and walks out of the room and close the doors behind him "now as for you the traveler you will have three days to train and on the last day you will be baptized and earn the name Alastor so finish your breakfast and meet me outside to start your training" said Elijah "I'm getting a name? Wait, so are you going to be my father? What's baptism?" said the traveler "Yes, no, and you shall see when you are done training now finish your breakfast and meet me outside," said Elijah "Yes sir I won't fall you," said the traveler as he raises his hand to his eyebrow and looks at Elijah. Elijah gets up from the table and walks out with Zeke "bring me a bucket of water and two swords," said Elijah "very well lord," said Zeke and they both walked out leaving the traveler eating his breakfast alone in the room. Elijah walks into a room and in the room was a bed with someone under the blanket, he walks over to the bed and kicks the bottom of the bed and it breaks "wake up" said Elijah and Meghan brings her head over the blanket, sighs and gets up "follow me" said Elijah and he walks out the room Meghan follows him and they come up to stairs that lead down into a basement, Elijah grabs a lantern that's beside the entrance and walks down the stairs and Meghan follows him down, they reach the bottom of the stairs "is this some kind of sex dungeon *gasps* are we going to have sex?" said Meghan "no this is not a sex dungeon and you're not my type at all" said Elijah and he throws the lantern at the wall and it lights the fire that goes all around the room brightening the room up "it's an arena, I want to see what your made of" said Elijah as he takes off his black coat and puts it on a rack "weapons or no weapons" said Elijah "no weapons also I expected more muscle and abs, are you still in the making or something?" said Meghan "I haven't had the need for a lot of abs and muscle since the war between us and the demons" said Elijah as he walks towards Meghan "shall we began" said Meghan "yes let's shall" said Elijah as he takes a fighting stance and Meghan runs towards him and throws a punch but Elijah doges it and punches her in the side of her stomach and she takes a knee holding her stomach that was punched, Elijah starts to think that he punched her to hard and walks towards her "do not walk over to her" said Abaddon "and why shouldn't I" said Elijah "well it's obviously a trap don't you remember what I taught you, are you getting soft?" said Abaddon "I haven't needed your lessons now that I own a kingdom and there isn't any wars going on yet" said Elijah "oh Elijah you are getting soft I know humans there will always be war somewhere around the world it's in your nature and if there isn't any war then someone is planning for one" said Abaddon "who are you talking to" said Meghan, Elijah looks back at Meghan then looks at Abaddon "well you going to tell her? I mean she might as well know or else you'll look very very and I mean very crazy" said Abaddon "fine you can say hi to her" said Elijah and a black shadow comes out of Elijah's ear and it starts to form a human like body and then it became someone "hello dear I am Abaddon, the demon Elijah over here has been talking to" said Abaddon "you're a demon" said Meghan "yes that is what I just said" said Abaddon "but aren't demons the ones that caused the war and the wall?" said Meghan "no no I wasn't there for that, I was helping this one during most of that time" said Abaddon as he points to Elijah ``more like torturing me" mumbled Elijah "anyways now that you've meet me and found out that Elijah has a demon in him, you have to promise that you won't tell okay?" said Abaddon "and if I do tell someone?" said Meghan "well I'll send you to the depths of every hell in the world and yes there is more than one sorry Elijah your god isn't the only god that exits in life" said Abaddon "I'm going to act like I didn't hear that" said Elijah as he walks towards his coat to put it on "now then I have to go train the traveler before it's too late, so Abaddon are you going to join me or continue talking to Meghan" said Elijah "I'm going with you I'm not really good around the females" said Abaddon as transform back into the black shadow and went into Elijah's ear "I'll send some guards to come and get you some breakfast welcome to your new room" said Elijah as he walks up the stairs closing the door behind him leaving Meghan in the room. The traveler walks through two giant doors that lead outside "ah traveler there you are" said Elijah "you ready for training kid" said Marco"yes I most definitely am" said the traveler "good we won't stop until tomorrow" said Elijah. The traveler was shocked when he heard Elijah say that but he kept on moving forward towards Elijah and Marco"alright we're going to play a game you have to run all the way to that tree grab a weapon of choice and stop the others from getting to the tree" said Elijah "and because we've done this before you can get a head start" said Marco"we aren't fighting to the death right?" said the traveler "that's the best way to learn how to fight" said Marcowith a smile on his face "alright kid start running you have until the sun comes out from that cloud" said Elijah as he points to a very bright beautiful cloud with the sun just barely showing and the traveler starts running as fast as he can while Elijah and Marcostand back watching as he runs as fast as he can towards the tree while the traveler is running towards the tree he looks up at the cloud that the sun was hiding behind but now the sun isn't behind the cloud anymore so the traveler closes his eyes then breaths in and breaths out and bolted towards the tree with grass and wind following him after he runs by them " ah so he can do it too" said Marco"yep which is weird because he wasn't born during our time and he's not a king" said Elijah "maybe god is fine with one other person having the ability to go faster than anything else" said Marco"that would be a possibility" said Elijah "also that sun is out now" said Marco"well then let's go get him" said Elijah and he bolts towards the tree just like the traveler but very much faster and Marcois right behind him the traveler looks to his left and a quick flash passes by then he looks at his right and sees another flash pass by him when the traveler looks in front of him and sees Elijah picking what sword he wants while Marcois picking out a shield then they both got what they needed then turned around facing each other and drew their swords to battle each other "I can grab a sword and attack one of them from behind" the traveler thought and he grabbed a sword and attack Marcofrom behind Marcoquickly uses his sword to block the attack and his shield to block Elijah's attack from the other side, Marcokicks the traveler down on the ground and focus on Elijah who is also using a sword and a shield the traveler gets up from the ground and grabs a shield then throws it at Elijah hitting him in the forehead knocking him off Edwin, Marcothen turns around and starts attacking the traveler so he lifted his sword up ready to block the attack but Marcojumps to the left and runs forward slicing a small piece of the travelers side "next is going to be a chuck of your side" said Marcoand Elijah comes by and pushes Marcoto the ground with his shield then the traveler attacks Elijah but Elijah knocks the sword out of the travelers hand Marcos Got up and saw this so he threw his sword at Elijah but he hit the sword with his shield and then out of spite Elijah threw his sword at Marco But it got stuck in Marco Shield so he threw his shield down and got into a hand to hand combat stance although Elijah did not do the same, he kept his shield but only aimed it at the traveler "remember kid anyone could attack you in the midst of battle you don't really recognize your allies, so not lethal hand to hand combat is the best choice with unknown things" said Edwin. The traveler relaxed and put his sword into the ground and leaned his shield against it then got into a fighting stance also. The three of them started to circle each other until one took the risk of attacking "remember you never want to attack first you always want to defend first then counter-attack'' said Elijah the traveler started looking back and forth at Marco "If any of them were to attack first it would be Marco or me, not Elijah because he said not to attack first which means he won't be expecting an attack from me and he won't be the first to attack" the traveler thought to himself as he speeds up his steps towards Elijah "ether I got to attack first or Elijah will and the kids speeding up his steps so he won't attack Elijah he knows it's too risky so he might go on a long attack towards me" Marco thought to himself, now everyone is thinking someone is going to attack someone is going to start the fight and someone may die at the end of this fight…. Elijah takes the first attack kicking the traveler in the side Macro Runs up towards Elijah and punches him in the stomach Elijah grabs Edwin's arm then tosses him against the traveler and they both fall to the ground they get up and surround Elijah "So what 2v1 now? Screw the other rules?" asked Elijah, Marco and the traveler didn't say anything but get closer to Elijah. Elijah finally got the hint and gets out of his fighting stance and puts his arms behind his back "okay well let's dance" said Elijah standing straight with his hands behind his back, the traveler jumps at Elijah but Elijah stops the traveler with his boot "you see my trainer learned how to dance fight from two lands once called ruse and the other one called jerm unless I'm saying those wrong who knows" said Elijah with a smile and he takes his boot away from the traveler and knocks him down on the top of his head "yeah mate I'm really not into learning" said Marcoas he punched Elijah in the face knocking him into the tree Elijah starts to get memories from when he first fought that general a long time ago "oohh this should be good can we get some rain over here god? Or gods? Idk just send some rain please" said Abaddon as he sat down under the tree watching Elijah stand back up from the ground "general it's time I teach you a new lesson" said Elijah as he walks closer to Marco And the traveler, clenching his fists "now sir I didn't mean to harm you in any way" said Marco"oh no no it's all part of the learning test its fine it's just I'm going to kick your ass now" said Elijah "kid this is where that non-lethal combat kicks in just sit back and wait" said Marcoas he got into a fighting stance and so did Elijah, the two looked at each other dead in the eyes waiting for the other to attack. Elijah leaps in the air towards Marco and he does the same they bring up their fists ready to punch each other in the face but inches, before they can fight a drop of rain, hit Elijah on the cheek stopping his leap more rain comes down "it's raining" said Elijah "yes sir it is raining should we stop on the training for today?" asked Edwin, Elijah looks up at the rain then takes out his hand and looks at his palm "yes we are done for today when we get back Marco send someone to come get this equipment" said Elijah "yes sir will do" said Marco"come on Alastor let's go eat some food" said Elijah "I- me? Wait, did I pass, is Alastor my new name now?" asked Alastor "yes come let's go eat" said Elijah as he walks towards the capitol castle with Edwin, Alastor gets excited and runs towards the capitol castle.
