Rev immediately threw his dagger straight up through the ship. He begins to precast a large net. He then swaps with his blade now face to face with a fire breath attack. Rev cast the source net wide. It catches the attack and absorbs all the source it can from it. Rev pulls his dagger to him and wind blast himself high up.

  "Where are you" Rev asks.

  Rev looks around in the cloudy sky.

  "You can't hide from me!" Rev yells.

  Rev eyes light a blaze as she spots the massive amount of source flying around in the cloud. He boosts himself higher and higher. "No one told me he could fly," the dragons thought.

  "There you are" Rev whispers.

  He throughs his dagger at the dragon. It cuts through the cloud. The dagger drives its self into the dragon's armored chest. Rev swaps with the dagger and fires off a densely packed wind blast with a source bullet at the center of it.

  "Bang!" Rev says.

  The bullet blast inside of the dragon. The dragons scuff at the attacks.

  "You'll have to do much better than-"

  BOOOOM!

  The bullet inscription causes an explosion to go off inside of the dragon's body, blowing a hole in its chest.

  "What...the" dragons start to plummet to the open ocean below.

  Rev rides the dragons down as it falls. "I Didn't know there were dragons this small." Rev says.

  The dragon was furious, but it can't seem to move or speak. "Who does this elf think he is?" The dragon thinks.

  In a last ditch effort, the dragon attempts to charge up another breath attack. As a result of the hole in its chest, the breath attack is prematurely unleashed, causing a large scale explosion in the sky.

  BOOOOOM!

  Rev is quick to react as he dashes off the dragon's body. He watches as all the remaining source in its body is scattered. Rev sighs, he gathers as much of the source he can salvage as he floats back down to the ship.

  "What was that just now?" the caption of the ship asks.

  The captain looks out the window and out into the sky. Rev dashes back down to avoid being seen landing a quietly as he can on the other end of the ship. He then sneak back down to the storage area. His heart is racing "I sure have missed this thrill. Soon I will fulfill my purpose. Ein...your death will not be wasted." Rev thinks. He goes back to his dark corner, casting a small fire art for light. He continues reading through Loka's notes. Most of them are related to the cars and flying machines in Carter. He pulls some more paper out of his bag laying next to him.

  Note: Source = Matter + energy. Source serves as X a value that is the groundwork for everything. It is said that source is only found in living thing, but for all the arts of collection it seems that source can be turned into living and non-living things. You can pull source from living things, but can't turn any living or non-living thing back into source. The best you can do is reverse a cast, which will uncast the art, but the source used to create that art is lost. -Loka

  Note: Source can be used to reinforce the body similar to source metal. If there is enough source stored in a certain part of the body, if it were to get cut, it would automatically heal. Source is the groundwork for all that is in this world. Different creatures in this world need different amount of source to live. Without that source, their death will come to them at different times. For smaller crates that aren't born with much source to begin with can survive without it for about a week. Interestingly enough, in that course of that week, the creature will rapidly age. It seems that source is connected to life span. Now giving what would be double the source of a rabbit to a human would show little result, maybe another 1 year added at most, but giving that same amount to a rabbit could drastically increase their life span. Those who are not born with much source to start with are given an extra boost in its effects. As if they hadn't built up a tolerance. This effect does seem to even out the more source that is added.

  "blah blah blah" Rev thought. He kept skimming through Loka's notes until one caught his eye.

  Note: After 65 years of dark elf research. I have found that dark elves are a more powerful version of normal elves.The real question is, what makes a normal elf turn into a dark elf? I have run many tests and had the best result in new born elves, but they all seem to die soon after. It might be easier for them to transform, but much harder for them to maintain the form. I speculate that Dark elves can be compared to a dragon's "human form" as a more battle ready form. I believe a key factor to the transformation is overwhelming stress and a call for battle. If this was the case, then most elves fighting in the dragon war would have turned, but they didn't. They were missing the key, blood. Blood is a key factor in the transformation. I am led to believe that if an elf is to ingest the blood of specifically a family member, mother, father, sibling and to be put in a position of overwhelming stress with a call for battle. A transformation is bound to occur. I will wait to test this. It is important note that not all transformations are the same. They may gain different abilities and resistances. Such as the ability to see and or control source with just their eyes. I am unsure of the rarity in this ability, but i am sure that it exits. Such an ability, I believe, would provide the edge I need to finally defeat the elf king. -Loka

  "What..." Rev comes to a sudden moment of realization. "It was...all part of his plan...65 years...how old is this mother fucker...is he even human..." Many thought fill his head. In the end, his self proclaimed purpose had been more than justified. This all came with a new found rage. Rev's lit the papers in his hand on fire along with the ship and everyone in it. His rage has hit its finally limit. He looks out at the land in the distance as he sits on top of the burning ship. He blast off at high speeds towards the lands, creating stone panels to dash off of in the air. Rev then arrives at the northwest point Eaven. Rev is met by an endless snow storm. The source density in this area is anomaly high.

  "You better still be alive by the time I get there, Red eyes." Loka thinks.

  His plane sores through the sky at full speed.

  3 days later.

  "finally after all those stops to let the engine cooldown am here well...." Loka thinks as he looks out at Paradise. "If I were to get any closer, the Elf King would sense me in an instant. I rather avoid any conflict with him for now."Loka thinks. Meanwhile Rev in still in the snowstorm that seems to only be getting more and more powerful. Never the less Rev pushes forward. A daunting question does run through is head. "Where the fuck am I? Frayer was always such a bright, warm place. It was surrounded by plains of grass. How long did I spend on that ship?" Rev thinks. He creates a stone shelter and searches through his bag for Loka's map. After reviewing it, he has determined that he is by a nearby farm above Frayer. He simply needs to move South East towards Frayer. "It shouldn't take more than a week or two if this snow storm keep up." Rev thinks. The dragons that have now all returned to Tartarus now report back to the queen.

  "My queen, a dragon that was searching North West of Eaven has not returned. From what we know, there is no living creature in that snowing region that could take one of us out. We don't believe that elf soldier where there from Paradise due to the snowstorm that is covers the area constantly." A dragon reports.

  "I see, so it's either Red eyes or Loka. If that is the case, then I'll send an order to Havoc right away." The queen says,

  The queen send out a source signal. The dragons close by all fall to the overwhelming power. The signal travels at about the speed of sound.

  "Havoc search the snowy tundra of the North West of Eaven"

  "........Right away my queen"

  Only the elder and dragons and the queen can use this power. The other dragons can only receive order, unable to respond. Well, this would be the case if a certain human hadn't figured out how to tap into the same ability without the dragons ever knowing. "Norht West tundra? Why would they be searching there? Are they trying to cut Red eyes off before he even reaches Paradise? If I've received the queen's signal from here, then Havoc must be in this area. He will undoubtedly make it there before me, but it won't be easy to find Red eyes in the snow storm even with his sense for source. The North region of Eaven is dense with source. I should be able to buy me enough time before he can get the chance to kill him." Loka thinks. Loka then redirects his plane now heading for heading North West.

  -5hr later

  Havoc has entered the snow storm. Loka about 30 mins behind him. The sun is more than halfway down. Rev has been pushing through the storm for the better part of the day. "Where the fuck am I?" Rev asks himself. He tries to look a head in the storm but it's to no avail. Despite that, his boiling blood lost keeps him going. Before long Rev notices a massive amount of source in the distance. "Is the storm still get stronger?" Rev thinks. If only that were the case. Rev was only a few seconds from being face to face with the elder dragon Havoc. In that moment, a wave of overwhelming fear flooded Rev's body and mind. An oddly familiar voice echoed through his head.

  Run

  'What?"

  Run

  "What's going-"

  The ground began to shake as the sound of thunder spread. Before Rev could even make a move, a red flash of lighting blinded Rev for a moment and before he know it, his arm was gone. A stinging sensation was all that was left. Then the thunder hit Rev's ears, causing them to ring loudly.

  "AHHHH!" Rev yelled.

  "found you" Havoc says.

  Rev is a panic "without my arm I can't cast hell scape...am....am going to die..." Rev thought.

  Havoc towered over Rev. Having to be roughly twice the size of Klevo. His scales a dark purple with stripes of dark red. His scale flares out on the end, causing a sharp divide at the end of each scale.

  "no...NO...NO!!! NOT NOW!!" Rev scream.

  "You dear speak to me that way? You are face to face with an elder dragon, I suggest you give your life over to me." Havoc says.

  Havoc goes to charge up another light breath attack.

  "I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE! If I die here, then....then I'll never be able to for full my purpose...Loka must DIE!" Rev tells Havoc.

  "Loka must die?" He stops his breath attack.

  "I did hear the queen say that Red eyes Loka got into a fight. Loka let him live, though. What use could Loka possible have for him?" Havoc thinks.

  Havoc looks back down at Rev, but he is gone. Well, not really. Rev couldn't bring himself to move very fair. He instead quickly healed the exposed part of his arm. Then spread his source out and blurred himself in the snow. The freezing sensation was nothing compared to the heavy weight of pure fear and panic current crushing Rev's mind at with his blood lost, currently the only thing allowing Rev to even move as he acts only on the instinct to kill. "Run! fight! run! FIGHT! run! FIGHT!" The battle wages on in Rev's head.

  "Where did he go?" Havoc asks himself.

  A ring of lighting surround him quickly shotting into the ground, having it spread out and send out an electric charged shock wave. Rev along with the snow in a five-mile radius is shot out in all directions. Rev is temporarily paralysed.

  "There you are" Havoc says.

  He charges up another breath attack. Rev uses all that is left in him to move his arm, pour source into his dagger and toss it aside before he crashes into the ground. Rev sets the fuse for only a second. The light cuts through the storm, heading right for Rev. In that moment, the swap takes place. Rev hits the ground rolling down the hill. The powerful lightning hits his dagger, being sent flying off as a result. Rev regains control of his body and quickly heals his arm. Using source to create a template of his arm and filling it in slowly. Luckily, the attack had left his elbow in tacked. Rev starts to heal the rest of his arm as he dashes away.

  "Where do you think you're going?" Havoc asks.

  Havoc once again stood right in front of Rev.

  "How... how did you even?" Rev can't seem to form a sentence.

  He quickly dashes away as Havoc charges up another attack. Rev quickly threw a bullet at Havoc's eyes. By the time it makes it there, it explodes. Creating a temporary blind spot and causes Havoc to miss his attack. Shooting it instead into the sky. Rev once again has disappeared, but this time he's on the attack. Now with his arm fully healed Rev can finally go all out.

  "...Hellscape" Rev whispers.
