"That beam attack was really good Baron," said with a smile. "Maybe it was my fault for rushing to judgement for baseing you ability based on your spar with Vincent," said Baron. "For the record I never intended to use your sword but just to get it away from you," said Baron.
"Now let me tell you about my swords," said Baron. "Ramuh allows me to channel my wind energy through my sword because it's made of a rare metal that allows my mana to flow through it,". "Then here's my other blade Ifrit this blade allows my to channel my fire magic through my blades," Baron said pointing to his other blade.
"Thank you for giving me a quick break I needed it," said Baron as he pulled out a tiny red vial which was labeled O+. "You already know I am a vampire so there's no use in my hiding this from you," as Baron drank the tiny red vial feeling completely renergized.
"That feels good," said Baron with a smile. "Normally, I stick to animal blood to fight my hunger but on rare occasions I do drink human blood for a quick fix," said Baron with a hint of distan.
"Now let me show you the power of Ifrit," as Baron slammed his blade to the ground and a pillar of flames crashed right into Serlen. "Sorry i didn't mean to over do it," said Baron but my hand was forced.
While the flames were crashing into Serlen Baron took his cloack off and hat and hung them on a near by tree with the back of his cloak facing Serlen. He then left behind his two swords in plain sight." "Luckily, I am pretty resourceful too thought," Baron so he stuffed an empty white cloth bag he had with him to give the impression that Baron turned his back on Serlen. "I know that move wouldn't end it but now he gets to see I am full of surprise," as Baron hung up his double with the little bit of wire he had left.
"Good fight Serlen this was a lot of fun but i am afraid you lose," said Baron as he was 'walking' away.
"Unbeknownst to Serlen I am actually close by let's see if he takes the bait," thought Baron hiding from Serlen's view.

The dust cleared to reveal a shield of light, but no Serlen.
"I served as general in a war and am familiar with such trickery." Serlen muttered from behind the real Baron.
He simply leaned against the tree with a raised eyebrow.

"A trap has multiple purposes my friend sometimes its meant to give a false sense to the opponent, " said Baron with a smile. "I wanted to see if you fall for it and you didn't said," Baron with a fit of laughter. "I have to give to you this your strong, my friend you pushed my further then anyone ever has but I am afraid this is over," said Baron as he planted his knee into Serlen's chest. "You see if plan A fails there's always plan B," said Baron with a grin on his face. So Baron kicked the blade from Serlen and went to get Ifrit "Now it's time I show you my final move," said Baron.
"Aether!" yelled Baron as he knocked Serlen to the air and delivered a set of vicious combos to Serlen. With one last push dropped his hilt of the sword into Serlen's battered chest as the two went crashing to the ground.
Meanwhile...
"Sil I hope I am doing this right?" said Catie with a look of confusion on her face.

Alyrun flashed into Serlens hand an he closed his eyes just as they hit the ground hard.
A brief flash of light and he was already wing healed by the weapon, though he was sure it would take a few days for the pain to go away.
He shakily stood to his feet, and held Alyrun pointed at the ground.
"I was hoping I wouldn't have to use this." He told Baron.
In a quick movement Alyrun was set to the side facing the air.
A shrieking sound pierced the air and Serlen vanished from sight.
"Occult." He yelled, appearing in front of Baron.
Three slashes to barons left wrist. Another disappearance.
Four more combos, and two knee strikes to the head.
"Zantesuken." Serlen muttered landing behind Baron.
He sheathed his sword and began to walk away silently.
"I advise you to stop. Continuing is pointless and you will only fall to the ground injured a few days.

"Maybe its easy for to quit," yelled Baron while blood was gushing from the wounds left by Serlen. "You being a dam prince and a famous general," said Baron rather weakenly getting to his feet. "For me I nevered had that luxury," said Baron as he spitted out blood. "All my life people looked down upon me like some type of monster and I thought you were different," said Baron with much emotions behind his eyes. "I really didn't want to have too do this but I think its time for you to meet my other half," said Baron in a fit of rage and sorrow.
As soon as Baron was about to give Van his permission to take over a familar sight came into view and it seemed highly annoyed at both Serlen and Baron.
Meanwhile at Silver's school for Archery...
"Shalla or Silver I think this is right as Catie showed her bow," to Silver. "I really want to do this right and it's so frustrating because it seems like one big mess," sighed Catie

"Look, I'm not looking down on you. I have my own fair share of problems back home. there are two sides of the coin that is life.
I'll admit, I never had it as bad as you, but even a life of luxury is full of struggles. Don't ever assume because I was born into royalty that I had an extremely easy life.." Serlen said, awaiting the figure who radiated pure anger.

Vincent glares at the two, his eyes icy cold. "Do you know what the first step towards mastery of the blade is?" Vincent asks, his voice deadly quiet, and eerily calm.
"Control. Any buffoon can swing a powerful sword around. But by dueling at the drop of a hat, for petty reasons, you both have demonstrated your utter lack of control. And, on top of that, you intended to unleash even more power, despite the close vicinity of my daughter and your own friends. So you showed not only a lack of control, but a complete disregard for the safety of your friends, and a disregard for my rules. You are both banished from my home. Begone."
With that, Vincent turns his back on the stunned pair, and began walking back to the palace gates.
------
Silver was in the process of correcting Catie, when she saw the incident. Oh crap... She told Shalla to keep practicing, as she was starting to get the hang of it, and quickly made her way over.

"Whatever I made it this far without the help of a god and I don't need it now," mumbled Baron under his breath. " Screw this whole riddle, teaching whatever this jerk wants to call it I am leaving this cursed place already," thought Baron in a fit of rage. Without giving a second thought he turned his heels and walked away.
"Besides he probably doesn't even know what emotions are considering he is no longer human," whispered Baron. As he made his way to the gate he kind of just gave Serlen a look half apologetic, half he doesn't care anymore.
He made his way to the entrance without caring for Sam, Catie, or the trail of blood he was leaving behind all he could feel was anger, sorrow, and frustration.
As the entrance got close Baron just yelled at nothing "What gives him the right to pass his judgment on me?". "I wish I could hide away in my underground palace with my dam guard dragon heeding my ever call,". "Screw it I don't give a dam what he does go ahead get angry you dam god if you are even capable of feelings,". "Go ahead take your bloody wrath against me," . "Nothing is worse then being alone or being locked up all you life,". "Screw him, Screw them all they can all rot for all I care," now with tears flowing from Baron. "If I am a dam fool for being upset then so be it but at least I know I am human," said Baron in a voice just mixed with all emotions coming out.
Baron was so caught up in his tirade he didn't even notice who followed him until they were basically right behind him.
At Silver's School for archery....
Catie noticed Silver running away. "Ahh Sil Sil am I really that bad?" though Catie in quiet. "Shalla looks like she knows what she's doing," though Catie. Hey Shalla can you help me pretty please?" pleaded Catie. Yet it seem like Catie couldn't get a response
So Catie with nothing else to do looked behind her and what she saw floored her. Standing there was Silver's dad, a shocked youth, and what looked like blood. "What happened?" said Catie in a panic. "Where's my brother at and why is there blood?" Catie said with tears running down her face. "You can't be dead no you can't?" cryed Catie out loud. "You stupid jerk you weren't suppose to leave me alone," as Catie fell to the ground. All Catie could do was lay on the floor and cry thinking the worse has happened and she was all alone.

Serlen glanced at Shalla ashamed, before he turned and began walking away.
He didn't feel the adrenaline that coursed through his body, and now all he could feel was the pain from
His earlier wounds. His guilt intensified when he saw Catie and he hung his head.
Alyrun was replaced in its Sheathe and he was already gone from the premises.
"..." Was all he could say, as he finally disappeared from the forest.
He passed the bandits forest and made his way towards an unknown location.
He couldn't get angry with the man that had banished them, and he couldn't blame Baron either.
He slumped to the ground at the base of a tree, and thought of home.
"What would Signy say?" He thought to himself of his little sister.
Let alone his parents. He could already feel the scolding Liam would give him for such a rookie
Mistake. his mind flashed to all his battles from before and most importantly,
The Begonian Liberation army. "Rookie mistake." He sighed.
He was left wandering a continent he didn't know, but that didn't make him waver once.
"I'd better find a village." He said to te sky, and stood up. He vanished into a few trees.

"Father, was that really necessary?" Silver asks quietly as she follows him into the palace.
"Yes," Vincent replies, oddly enough, with a trace of a smile. "But those two will be back. I taught them an important lesson today, now we just have to wait and see how long it takes for them to understand. If the Vampire returns, if he understands my meaning, even subconsciously, it will prove him worthy of the knowledge he seeks. And the youth... He has a different lesson to learn."
"And what's that?" Silver asks curiously, surprised to find herself shocked by her father's cunning. She's lived with him her whole life, so you'd think she'd be used to it by now.
"That he doesn't need any lessons," Vincent replies, his smile morphing into a grin. "Now go and do something with the Wolf, would you? I don't want my reputation to be marred by one of my guests committing Seppuku."
Silver thought about reminding him that would probably help his reputation, not harm it, but she decided against it. She was starting to kinda like the naive young thing.
------
Back outside, where the wolf lay sprawled in an impressively large puddle, Silver knelt down beside her. "It's okay Catie, Sh. It's okay. Your brother's just fine. He'll just be gone for a day or two on a test of my father's. Besides, do you really think this small amount of blood loss would kill a Vampire, even a half one? Don't worry so much, sweetie."

Serlen made his way into a village.
He looked down at his clothes, they were tattered from his bout with the half blood.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a scroll with the seal of a serpentine dragon.
He blinked, wondering when this had gotten into his pocket.
It had the blood seal of Begonia, and more shockingly, a blood seal.
He pressed his thumb onto the seal and watched it glow red before unfurling.
He read the contents and sighed. Somehow Signy had knew his clothes would be destroyed.
Serlen continued reading the letter, "She found this? Dropped from the sky?!" he shouted in surprise.
Armor didn't drop from the sky. It was physically impossible... But not magically.
He placed the scroll down and took a look at the Navy blue armor.
A white cape was placed beside it, with two clap ons. The back had the words
Emperor-King written on them. " the leggings matched the army in color and even had
Scales in between his boots. "Looks a lot like a dragon's scales." Serlen noted.
The outfit was... Catchy and where a helmet should have been was a red circlet
With the symbol of the sky.
Serlen looked to to the side quickly, making sure no one saw the sight as quickly grabbed the armor
And scroll. He disappeared behind a hut and reappeared with the armor on.
"Really comfortable." He rolled his shoulders. A flash of light and a pure golden sheathe was at his left side.
"Full of surprises." He laughed, feeling better than his previous mood.
The armor felt... right and empowering.

After Baron's outburst he was feeling really exhausted so he made his way towards the village that he subconsciously remembered how to get to. "Better take this I don't want to pass out before I get there even though I really really don't want to," said Baron almost defeated. He takes out a vial that said for emergencies only and drank it. Instantly, Baron's wound healed and he felt renergized.
Along the way he passed by the forest where he first encountered everyone. The bandit camp where he first talked to Silver. The only thing Baron could think of is what Vincent said "About control,".
"I hate to admit he but he was right about me losing control," sighed Baron. "I was almost ready to go toYet' point of killing that youth by letting Van take over," Baron said while punching a nice size hole through a tree. "Poor Catie I can only imagine what she's thinking right now," sighed Baron. "I will be lucky if she ever talks to me again and that's the best case senerio," said Baron as he made his way to the village Vincent showed him.
"The least I can do is apologize to Serlen for getting so worked up like that and maybe find cloths that aren't ripped up," said Baron. So Baron just wandered around the village looking for a place that sold cloths when he finally, found it.
"Yet's see orange jump suit nah too small, red shirt with blue overalls and a red hat maybe," said Baron. Then Baron noticed the price "Dam that much money is that shirt made of silk and expensive material ahh nevermind" sighed Baron. As he looked around the only thing he could find that was priced within range and fit were Black pants that were slightly baggie and a plain black shirt that was equally a little to big, and a white cloack to match it. I guess its better then nothing as Baron went to go pay for the cloths. He also picked up a simple straw hat and straw sandels.
"Let me go find a place to get changed," Baron said to himself. "I guess this can work out I do appreciate the extra space my arms have and luckily the undershirt I was wearing wasn't to beat up,". Baron said as he walked out "Luckily, the shopkeeper was 'kind' enough to throw in this rope to help keep the pants up.
Just then Baron noticed Serlen but he looked different the blue hair was the same but something seemed different. Baron with one thing on his mind made his way over to Serlen.
"Serlen I am sorry for what I did to you I should never got to that point based off an assumption," said Baron very apologetic. "It was wrong of me to assume you had a life of luxury simply because your a royal," said Baron. " I hope you can forgive me," said Baron in a sincere voice. While waiting Baron could only think of one person Catie.
Meanwhile......
"He isn't dead?" Catie said while starting to sober up. "Well he's going to wish he was after what he put me through," said Catie with an uncharteristic anger. "When I see that dadstard I am going to run this bow, rapier, and that dam cat right through his heart," said Catie with a growl.
Then Silver mentioned this was some part of test. "Oh ok," said Catie with her usual smile. "The jerk could have told me before I left maybe I will just punch him upside his head when he returns," said Catie with an upbeat smile.
Then Catie did something she did before and gave Silver a big hug. "Thank you Silver," Catie told her. "I am glad me and you are best friends," said Catie.
"Now let's get back to those lessons that way when that jerk runs away again I can shoot an arrow through him," said Catie with renewed energy.

Shall watches the interactions confused,which soon turns to rage.
"Stupid noble couldn't watch his attacks.... Sometimes I hate you Serlen." She muttered to herself.
However, on the inside she was feeling quite different. "You better come back in one piece." She thought.
------
Serlen raised an eyebrow at Baron's apology. "No, the fault is all mine. I got caught up in wanting a good battle and let loose a few tricks out of the bag that should be Trump cards." Serlen bowed. "If you need anything, let me know." Serlen adds as an afterthought.

"What are you exactly are you a prince or something more?" asked Baron with a hint of courisity. "I would hate to find out you were a king and I was insulting you by calling you a prince," said Baron.
"Also can you use magic that swords of you is mighty impressive, but I couldn't since you using your own mana?" asked Baron as the two got a chance to talk.

"I'm... A prince. Alyrun channels no mana although, recently I've been feeling some changes to my body." Serlen admitted.
"I can use regular magic, but here it feels as though something is drainingy reserves. I suppose t has something to do with this continent.

"Maybe it affects you differently, I did grow up here all my life so maybe that's why it's easier for me," said Baron leaning against the building.
"When you do use magic? What can you do holy, death, elemental?" asked Baron. As you can tell I am good with fire and wind magic said Baron. "If you want I can teach you how to use it sometimes as a way of making it up to you for my outburst?" asked Baron.
Just then a couple of village ladies walked past Serlen and Baron while giggling amongst themselves.
"Too bad you have a girlfriend already," Baron said to Serlen "They looked kind of cute,". "I would say something but Catie is already ready to kill me I don't need to bring in another victim," sighed Baron.

"... I do not have a girlfriend." Serlen says in confusion, "I'm more of a physical fighter than magical. While it is foolish to deny
Your offer, Alyrun is all I need."

"The offer still stands if you ever have a change of heart," said Baron on the subject on the offer.
Can't hurt to be diversified in many forms of combat," was what Baron said.
"Now about you having no girlfriend," Baron said in a mischevious way. "Don't tell me that cute girl Shalla ,that came with you, doesn't have a thing for you," said Baron while playfully elbowing Serlen.
"So tell me what was it like growing up in a palace, it must have been nice?" asked Baron.
"As I said before I grew up in a tiny village outside of the main capital," said Barron. "The thing I left out was that I actually grew up in the capital," said Baron. "Even had some great friends and we all liked paying together until a 'certain incident' that changed my life forever," said Baron as he began spacing out.

Serlen is unaffected by Barons attempt to tease.
"It is what you would expect, having everything laid out for you, but political intrigue is a dangerous thing.
Corrupt people plotting against you for the throne, etc." Serlen replied

"The village life wasn't quite that exciting," said Baron. "Mainly, my mom keeping me locked up in the house saying it was for my own protection, said Baron lost in thought. "All I wanted to do was go outside and play and explore but she was adamitt I stay inside,".
"Honestly, it was thanks to Sam I know anything at all," said Baron. "He taught me everything I know about the world," said Baron. "I probably would still be in that village if she was still alive," said Baron.
Then he noticed the youth's shocked expression. "Don't worry it was due to natural causes," said Baron. "I guess that's one of the gifts of aging slower then others," said Baron.
"How bout you how were your parents growing up?" asked Baron
