When one desires power the means they take to achieve that power gets more morally questionable the more they get it. The lines they took hrs to contemplate/cross on begins to take less time . Eventually they will cross a line they never thought they would. And look back and sign. They may regret it. But They won’t stop until there done. And I guess may never. But I won’t regret I will achieve my goals. Even if it leads to my eminent demise I wont halt my steps. You can call me Max. Max Elliot
In the skies, a giant dark monstrosity crossed the land
From its mouth came a deathly breath, corrupting nature with its vile structure.
In front of it stood an outline of a city.
The beast dived, raging through the air at a faster speed with infinite ferocity in its eyes.

In the capital
The emperor sat down, watching the mortality rates of his empire skyrocket and the relations between jakkobah become tenser
They took the undead crisis as a chance to stir up the water even more.
"If we send troops to prevent any backhands attacks from them, we won't be able to stop the undead," thought the emperor as a had a headache on how to handle this situation.
"If Merlin was still alive, he could come up with some crazy invention to give us an edge, but now his gone and the situation is dire. I fear the worst," said the emperor inwardly, as he thought of how to go about this.
With a spark of inspiration, he said, "why don't I just lead them to the jakkobah empire and kill the two problems with one move"
He then called over his messenger to alert the court to come for a meeting
The flames of war slowly fanned.

Our protagonist team waited as max was not in the inn and they had to be together to take up the task.
"Where is he? We've been waiting out here for so long!" complained enora while playing with a purple mist in between her fingers.
"I don't know, his quite a mysterious kid. I was awake and didn't even know he left," said Eric as he cleaned his spear with a cloth.
"He here," said Krista suddenly as max fell from above them.
"Sorry for taking your time, there was something important I had to do," apologized max feeling a little bad at his attitude.
"Hmph, well don't do it again or I will hit you," complained enora to max while crowds her arms and looked away.
"Well, we can't waste any more time. I'll go to the task office while you 3take this bag of roses and spread it around the city," ordered Krista, tossing them a large bag of red flowers.
Eric caught the flowers, but a negligible amount fell to the ground.
"You do this to every place we go," said enora as her shoulders dropped at the repetitive task.
"Just so it's ok!" Said Krista a little embarrassed as she snuck away from them getting weird looks from the crowd.
"Everyplace they visit, does that mean she has eyes around the capital," thought a shocked max at this bullshit ability
Max, at the moment, won't be surprised if she could revive from a single plant.
"Hey, Max don't get distracted. Come on, we got work to do," said Eric, who held the bag of roses.
Then Enora spread a mist to their legs as they slowly floated into the sky as Eric spread the flowers. Beatifying the sky in its redness and gentleness.
In an abandoned house..
Rojin sat on the bed, thinking about the explosion that happened .
He wasn't sure just what happened, but he was betting on everything that they aimed at him.
If he left a few seconds later. The person would have succeeded. He had many enemies. It was hard to guess which one was it.
The only thing he was sure about was that it wasn't martial arts.
The person escaped too fast, so they were not as strong as him, so it was safe to assume they used a weapon.
"So an alchemist," thought rojin as he glowed with menacing intent.
"The only alchemist faction I crossed paths with was the Elliot's. The pope grilled me on that. But what exactly makes them so special that even the pope does not dare to offend them." said rojin figuring out the patterns
"Nirlem Elliot. Why does that name seem familiar?" said as his brain ran faster than it ever had before.
"No, it can't be," as he finally knew the answer to all his questions.
Nirlem name spelled backs wards was
Merlin

City of TORA
A man walked in with leather armor ,with a massive physique, entered into a house with a sign of 2 blades crossing.
"Is that him"
"The man who tore apart a class 6 lion type Gaeste, with his bare hands"
"He did what"
"I heard he punched a city lord for taking bribes, then brought him out and slaughtered him in public".
"Pfft what that city lord was conspiring with the jakkobah empire, he got what's coming to him"
Whispered the other adventurers as they watched the hulk of a man come in.
" I am here to take on the investigation of the undead rumor ".
Said to the quest handler
"Sir just you".
"Ye"
" Are you sure you don't need company," said a beautiful lady.
"And who might I owe the pleasure," said the man
"Krista"said the lady.
The man's eyes widened as he uttered.
"Could you perhaps go be the tree maker lady".
"They could have gave me a better title" grumpily pouted Krista.
"Am sure they would if you tried hard enough" said the man.
"Hmph, so mind taking this task together, I got a team " suggested Krista.
"Oh, and where is this team of yours "and just as he said that a medium sized man with a long spear
walked in, followed by a purple haired girl, wearing blue with purple smoke, coming out of various
parts of her skin, then a 5'4 lad with red hair and emotionless eyes wearing all dark blue and 6 short daggers in his belt.
The short man's name was.
Max
Max Elliot.
