There it stood, the tree that zion had spent seventeen years chained to. The tree that held his life for so many years. Its bark was rotten and its leaves dead, the rusty shackles could still be seen wrapped around its trunk, the remains of the chains on the ground in a heap. Zion had lived in balefire for a few years, enjoying his life with his parents. He was given everything a small boy could ask for, but the one thing he never wanted, was the thing that changed his life forever. The cursed life of his father damned him to this life, a life of imprisonment, a life in the service of a demon god. He was shunned and mocked, told he was scum for who he held. Zion had no choice, he was forced into it, and because of his familys mistake he was bound to this tree to die. But he was not meant for death. Chaos, The great demon lord of the abyss was known for his reign over those beneath him. A mighty god that all feared and hated. Evenhis minons tried to back stab him, and over throw him. But non succedded, except one. The night he was betrayed, cast into the mortal plane by his trusted servant. Everything went downhill from there. He was found by those of Balefire, and instead of worshipping them like before they attacked. Since he was no longer amongst the gods he was powerless, weak agaisnt the masses. And he failed, trapped in th ebody of a poor defensless boy. Strapped to a tree to rot for all enternity, the boys faith,death and a finale seal on chaos. But he was not done yet. Here stood Chaos, in zions body. After a year of death and destruction he was back, back at the tree that binded his soul for seventeen years. Zion smind was no longer present. Chaos had stole it, melded it into the demon he needed, now there was only chaos trapped in this body. But he was close to his return, a return all of imythess would feel. With a evil grin chaos turned his back on the now flaming tree. Its dead leaves and bark roasting in the demons fire. Its soul burning like his once did, its essence turning to dust. This tree was a reminder of the past, the one mistake he made. But no longer would it be here to bear this memory. Chaos was back and nothing was going to change that. Taking a step away from the tree chaos let out a manic laugh, one that shook the trees and would warn anyone around that the god of Chaos was here. |

The laugh the god of Chaos let out resounded far through the dark woods and had single to none respondance, exept from a few shadows of the dark creatures that lived there flashing off at the sound of it. Although, one dark figure held still near the burning tree. Daelen, once called the regent of darkness, an ancient demon, who's last time he had walked this realm was century's ago had been walking the woods toward Balefire. He had been traveling for a few days after the breaking of his seal, learning about current situations, meeting some of the members of divschatten and training to regain his old powers. He had heared that Balefire would be a place of darkness, somewere he could walk around freely and maybe get some information the easy way. But chance would have him crossing paths with another demon, although another kind than his own, it was still a demon. Stepping out of the shadows, the light of the burning tree shedding a little light on his features, the rest of his darkgrey skin seemed black as they remained in the shadows. "Having yourself a party.." daelen said to the demon infront of him. He had wondered what exactly he had been doing here in the woods, it seemed he had drawn pleasure out of the burning tree. "or a funeral" Although the man standing by the tree was a demon, he had still to find out who he was and how he would react to his sudden appearance. He had yet to meet some of the other members of divschatten so there was a possibility this demon was one of them. Something he would not entirely resent because the man had an impressive aura about him, atleast he was someone he would not like to have against him at the moment with most of his skills still in a state of slumber Edited by Bael, Sun Aug 8, 2010 12:14 am.

A sick, twisted demented smile stood on the face of Chaos, a smile that was so full of evil and hate anyone of good near the area would instantly fear it. This forest was his birthplace, his human birthplace, and he was back to exact revenge on the place that held his soul for seventeen years. Standing before the tree, watching it leaves burn and bark blacken, it filled his heart with a sick joy most never found. Being a demon he knew evil, but what was different about him was he not only knew evil, but he was the very definition of evil itself. Chaos was lost in his own thoughts when a sharp quick voice burst in, causing him to spin around. A odd looking man stood before him, not to far but not close enough for chaos to strike. One thing about the red demon was he hated everyone, even himself most days. Well...i am havin a..party. Would you care to join me in the festivities? Chaos let out a blood filled laugh as he walked towards the man. Holding himself up in a way not to impose harm. Although he was in a great foul mood, he was not up for a fight at the time, however if the need arise, he would take the chance. So, you seem dangerous enough, good thing to, i dont like to baby sit. You from the guild or just a random demon with a death wish? Another chuckle left the demons dark mouth. He hoped the man would pick up on the humor and jokeing, for now thats all it was. Chaos had enough death on his plate for the day to go spilling the blood of some guy he hardly knew. |

It seemed the world around had gone quiet as the two demons stood there, only the light of the burning tree seemed to be playing with the edges of their features. Their voices and the wood succumbing to the flames the only thing heard in their surroundings. "Well, i do like parties" he replied, slightly stepping forward. "And I'm an ancient, i've outlived most demons still in this world so no need for babysitting. Call me, Daelen, and yes, we share the same guild." making a slight bow with his introduction, the tone of his voice filled with a little mockery, not much, just enough to give it a funny twist. "So, whats with the tree, care to fill me in about how its this funny lighting up a tree?" Daelen didn't know for sure if it held any meaning for the demon, though he was curious finding out. Most of the time demons would hold grudges against man, not against a tree, so this had to be some sort of a ritual for the one infront of him or atleast had some manner of meaning to him. A small grin formed as the corners of his lips curled up, he didn't know why, but somehow the whole matter seemed a little weard, a demon celebrating a burning tree. Atleast it was something you could see happening every day. |

The flames crackled behind him, the creaking of burning wood could be heard over the few seconds of silence, random pieces of bark falling from the trunk of the tree. With a groan Chaos lifted his hand to his shoulder, scratching a stiff itch he had. Well nice to meet you Daelen, Im Chaos, Former god of...Chaos actually. Good to see i wont be watching you. You look as if you can handle your self fair enough. Chaos let out a chuckle and turned, angled to watch both the tree and Daelen. ]What you dont like lighted trees? Haha no you see this tree was my prison for many years. The people of this town cursed a young boy and sealed me away in his body. My punishment for...Well all the amazing things i did in the past. So i decided to come and roast the hell out of this damn tree. Chaos then turned completly around, showing hsi back to the new comer and smiled, crossing his arms while staring at the blazing tree. |

"Former God of Chaos huh, dont remember you from back in the days I roamed this world. Must have been while I've been in hybernation" He had been out for a long time, centuries even, after some dreadfull events he had put his true demonic body to a slumbering state, only to wake two or three centuries later when a dagger had pierced his chest and ripped out his heart. After that it went dark for a very long time, up till the moment his heart had been placed into the body of a young human warrior. There he had waited his chance to take over and well, here he was. "I know the feeling, lets say we had a similar expierence" he replied when Chaos had ended enlighting him about his history with the tree. "Although, would it not be much more fun taking revenge on the people of the town. Perhaps they are not the same as the ones who put you in those shackles, but thats a minor detail, it'll fade when the blood starts flowing." A somewhat sinister smile had slid across his countenance. It had been a long time since he had ripped open a human body and perhaps this would make a nice introduction of his return. The world had yet to learn of his reappearance, surely this could be a way of spreading some infamy. Besides, he'dd be helping Chaos closing his past aswell and most likely, even if it wern't for that, he'dd be in for the kill none the less. Chaos had turned his back to him, staring at the fire. He took it as a sign of trust, no, not trust, more a mute understanding between the both that they would not attack eachother at this time. His wings flexed for a bit as he took a few paces, now fully in the open space, waiting for the awnser to come. |

Chaos was use to being stabed in the back, he had no real friends and everyone he met ended up turning on him. But his back remained stabless tonight, the man behind him had understood and did not attack. Chaos watched the tree burn as he listened to the words of the fellow demon. You know, i like your thinking. But this tree had to die non the less. After all, these people dont derserve to live any more than we do right. We have all sinned, and even if we are demon and they are not, we owe them th erespect of the death we once knew. Chaos had rare interlectual moments, but when he did it was deep. Alright, lets kill these filthy mortals. |

"Lead the way, not very familiar in these parts" Daelen responded as he checked his equipment. The loose dark pants that concealed his muscular legs gave him a great mobility in combat. The knife he wore on his side had just been sharpend before he went on his travels. It was like his entire body was craving blood, wich wasn't so weard, it hadn't gotten any in quit some time. Somewhere inside of his body there was something which worried him, the absence of skills. He had never entered a fight without his demonic abilities, this would be the first time. Of course he had the warrior skills of the human body he had taken over, luckily they were enough to kill a man of mediocre skill and was the human body no match for the force that a demonic body held. It gave him some assurance that in the deepest corridors of his mind, everything was working to prepare his human host body for the force that would be released if he were to regain his power. It just took some time to ajust everything the human warrior had been to the frame of the regent of darkness. Maybe when both his human and demon heart would synchronize and he got full freedom to move about, maybe then it would be the time for his skills to return. But that would just be a maybe. For now he would just go and ruthlessly exterminate the town they were heading for, the world would know not to mess about with inhabitants of the abyss. The former God of Chaos was sure to have some tricks up his sleeve and with the small hope of his skills returning during actuall combat, they were sure to set an impression on this lands. |

Chaos just stood for a few minuets, silent and perceptive. Taking in the scene before him he felt overwhelming joy. but not a happy joy or a joy for others. He was pleased with both the burning of the tree and the attack they were about to make. A statement to those who had a part in his demise, even if it was their ancestors fault. Tonight balefire would Experience Chaos. Turning on his heels chaos smiled at Daelen and patted the dagger that lay on the side of his belt. He started walking toward Daelen, but did not stop, instead he walked right past him and kept walking, makeing his way out of the woods and right into the city of Balefire. If Daelen wanted to tag along and join chaos would have no problem with that. But even if he had to do it alone the idea was already sparked in hsi mind. He was going to wreck havoc and mayhem, destroying anything that tried to stand agaisnt him. |

A small flap of his wings lifted him up from solid ground, quickly catching up to chaos. It had been a long time since the blood of humans would bathe his skin, a wondrous delight that he had not expected to have this evening. Every inch of his body had started to boil with a desire for death and the sound of flesh being ripped apart. This was turning out to be one crazy night. As they passed the gate into balefire he could feel a hatred boiling up inside, a rage that would find its outlet in the sound of broken bone and taste of blood. For now he would leave the dagger at his side, there was no real threat as of yet and his body was the most lethal weapon he had anyway. "I sure hope there are some of these so called good-doing humans in town.." His voice already filled with a darkness that came from his entire being. With a large movement of his right arm he smacked a meagre looking human out of his way as they walked throught the streets of balefire. The man found his death as he collided with a wall and fell lifeless to the floor. "None of these will make for a decent fight" he grunted, his fangs slightly visable as he showed his displeasure in the ones they had passed. The people that did walk the streets moved aside, the killing intent the two gave out was sure to attract some people worthy to be called live prey and scared of the ones who were not even worthy a look. |

Chaos passed under the great arch way from Gloomwood to the main city. Daelen, the demon behind him, was just as eager as him to begin the destructive slaugther of the village. All these people had allowed such evil acts to be done on him why could he not return the favor and show them a little how he felt. Walking the streets chaos smirked and smiled at daelen as he striaght knocked the hell out of a passing by human. Chaos turned to watch a couple walking adjacent to them, not aware of the inpending doom. Chaos walked up to their side and with out notice just slammed his fist into the mans side, the female next to him screaming and running. Oh no you dont thought chao sas eh sent a fire ball hurling at the back of her head. It was such a sight watching the blood spill over the street. Tonight was going to be fun. |

His eyes filled with a terrifying bloodlust as his tongue tasted the human blood that had spattered onto his arm. Somehow the taste of blood made his most inner instincts crawl to the surface and express themselves in a somewhat beastial manner. A loud laugh came burst out as he witnessed chaos shooting a fireball at the back of a womans head, the pain and fear these people of this town had comming without being aware was enough for him to crack up and just enjoy to panic that had started. One person had taked advantage of daelen standing still and lunged at him from behind, his knuckles hitting the cold black tissue on his back, he had to comment the man for his bravery and the damage inflicted was minor, but still, it was not something that could be forgiven. If someone of skill had attacked him and actually layed hands on him, then it was another story, it was something he could comprehend, if only a little, but this puny human was born to late for him to be lenient. With a quick drop to his left knee he thrusted his elbow backward into the abdomen of the man, who in his turn collapsed to his knees as he gave in to the pain. Calmly he raised himself back to stand on two feet again and slowly regained pace as he walked through the street, still in search of that one human prey that was worthy enough to fight with skill. |
