Strange man, but with A pleasant Gift

"WHAT THE— HOW THE F**K DID YOU KNOW MY NAME!" Jed exclaimed in fear and shock. His mind felt scrambled at that period of time.

"Relax, Jed. It's me, Divon". The Anonymous man said with a smirk cracking on his dark face.

"HOW THE—, WHAT THE— THE F— [sigh] You know I know you're lying". Jed said as he turned the mangled body over. The only part of the body that remained intact was his face. "Levi told me how Divon will look.... AND THIS IS CLEARLY HIM!".

"Fine, Alright you caught me". The strange man confessed. "I'm not of this world. I'm from a different plane. A different realm. A god in your realm".

"A GOD?! Is it because you use a different element not known to we humans?" Jed asked, puzzled.

"Element ?! Pfft don't make me laugh. I'm not affiliated to Gaea the way you humans are".

Hearing these words made Jed mad for a second.

"Don't be mad at me. Here sit down and let me explain". The man said.

"I don't need any explanation from you. I'm leaving. I'll leave this place and go somewhere further away and start my on life". Jed sighed.

"Oh you're leaving.. So early.. Are you sure you don't want to know the reason why you can't control any element". The strange man pointed out.

Hearing this, Jed froze in his step.

"If you want to know then please, sit down". As he said this, the man snapped his fingers. The whole dojo within suddenly changed from dark and spooky to fancy and clean. The cracks and breaks were nowhere to be seen. The room even became larger.

At the center of the room, there was a small round table with two chairs at opposite sides. The table was decorated and even had a flower vase in the middle.

"WOAH". Jed's mouth dropped wide as he looked around him. The place almost looked like a 5 star restaurant. Jed then walked to his seat looking around him, but as he looked forward, when he took his seat, he noticed something peculiar.

When the room was dark, the man looked shorter and very thin. But now, seated in front of him facing him was a dark in complexion guy with a stovepipe hat and a magician outfit. In the middle of the stovepipe hat was a grey skull.

"I told ya. My powers aren't ordinary. Now, before I explain, do you want anything to eat?" The man offered.

"N-Noo" Jed lied.

A grumble could be heard multiple times from his stomach. All Jed did was bend down his head in embarrassment.

The Strange man then snapped his hand again and giant bowl of turkey was right in front of Jed.

Forgetting his manners, he went straight to eat, like an animal.

"Now while you eat, listen to me as well. Oh and before I start, My name is Kiro".

"Kiro. Got it". Jed said with a mouth full of turkey flesh".

"Alright. So it all began when Gaea and I fell in love..... " before he could finish, he was rudely interrupted by Jed.

"Wait.. Wait... so you and Gaea had a thing?! Now that messed up" Jed chuckled.

"Right, right. Now will you please let me finish!". Kiro blustered.

"Sorry". Jed apologized.

"Now where was I.. Ah yes. So we fell in love. And after the evolution of mankind,we used to bet on humans, especially after Noel Right, after he was born to be precise. After a long round of bets, during one faithful day, I brought up one bet. 'Humans forget about you and I get one of Noel's offspring for myself. To call my creation and my servant'. She agreed and we commenced. We both cheated, but know matter how much I cheated, she always seemed to be winning. So I decided to take things to the next level. I convinced and persuaded the God of Knowledge to grant humans the knowledge to create advanced tools and even their own elements.

It didn't take long before He agreed and did as I said. Once humans got what they couldn't have, they neglected Gaea and soon got destroyed by the nuclear explosion. Later, She found out it was the God of Knowledge's doing and when she went to confront him, he ratted me out. There, her love for me..seized. But still, a deal is a deal so she had to honor her deal.

So you ended up being that offspring I later chose". Kiro explained.

"Ah... I see. Now down to my question". Jed said in a low tone as he got up from his seat, with his hand clenched "Why... WHY DID YOU USE MY LIFE FOR A BET!!" Jed climbed across the table and punched Kiro right in the the face. The punch was so hard it caused Kiro to fly into a wall.

"What was that for?" Kiro questioned as he got up. He acted as if nothing happened, as if he wasn't hurt at all.

"YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WAS EXACTLY FOR!" Jed barked

"Look, I know you are angry, but that's why I'm here. To make it up to you". Kiro stated

"What do you mean?" Jed queried.

"You don't have an element right?" Kiro besought. "Well I can give you one."

....

Concurrently, In the poorest places, footsteps, screams for help and shouts could be heard.

A girl of 14, was running down the Narrow streets of HighRoth. Chasing her was a group of earth elementalists.

"Come her ya hot chick" one of them shouted

"Yeah, come get us laid" another cried.

With tears running down her face, she screamed and cried for help, hoping that a savior will come to her aid.

From behind, a hand was formed by one of the earth elementalist who seemed to be the gang leader. The hand, which seemed to be made out off clay, stretched forth and grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back to the group of men.

"What a fine girl you are" the gang leader said as the rest of the men laughed.

"Leave me alone" the girl screamed as she tried using her water abilities. But she was too weak to do anything.

"HAHA" the leader laughed, "you will be very useful to us. Soon, I'll be able rule the whole of HighRoth. But first, we need a slave. Terry, do your thing".

"Yes boss" a guy in a hoodie replied as he raised his hands up.

"Earth bind: Clayey rope" he chanted.

Thin clay lines came from the tip of his finger and wrapped the girl. Before she could scream, her mouth covered and she was taking to who knows where.

...

Jed found it hard to believe what Kiro had just told him. He thought it was impossible but now, his dream could be answered.

"What element will you give me?" Jed excitedly asked.

"Pfft. Jed. It's not the element I will give you, it's the element I can give you. I'm not Gaea to give you any element she created. It's an element in my power".

"Ugh," Jed sighed. Although Jed was a little disappointed, he was curious to know what other element was there.

"Then what element is it" He questioned

"Imagine you had the element that could create, shape or manipulate other elements of a darker nature. The element that is most feared when it is in action. The element that can be used to cause destruction, negate and corrupt other elements and steal their properties. The element not tied to any material body". Kiro introduced. "Well how about I gave you an element no one has. An advanced form of the element of darkness, the element X".

Jed's eyes widened in amazement. He couldn't stop but think how cool he would look and rub it in that boy's face as well as everyone. With out hesitation he exclaimed.

"Give it to me now.. GIVE ITT!"

"Woah woah, no need to be in a rush just come closer to me" Kiro said

Jed did as he was told.

"Now, look into my eyes" a grin appeared on Kiro's face as he instructed.

Jed was too desperate to ask why so he did as he was asked. Kiro then began his thing.

"𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘰𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘧𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵, 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳, 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨!" Kiro chanted.

Suddenly, from his lower to his upper body, Jed felt weak and dizzy. His leg in particular felt weaker and his head felt light

"Wha— what did you just d—" before he could finish his statement, he had fainted on the ground.
