The Light and Dark brothers

Chapter 1 The Dark Brothers

   Ash is silently walking through the forest with his talkative brother beside him saying, "Let's get something to eat. I am starving, maybe we can have fun and relax. Come on, you are always quiet, you have to have something you like to do. Hmm, maybe you like someone or want to do a job request." Ash immediately responds with, "Do you have anything else to do besides bother me and plus I still have to hold back while just walking or I might kill you." King says jokingly to Ash, "You wouldn't kill your brother would you and I know what your father did is the reason your eyes are like this but I am just trying to have fun." Ash kept quiet while King continued to talk until they arrived at a small town filled with hardworking people. The town looks rundown but not abandon, roads lacked traders but had small stores with little wooden signs. One little sign hanging from the top of a door reading 'tavern and beds for rest' moved in the wind. "Obviously we are going in there," he didn't even ask Ash to go, he just went into the tavern and got drinks. Right, when they went in, Ash immediately felt something weird but didn't react because if he moved too violently he could tear down the whole tavern, he turned to King. "Hey King, are we wanted," King answered with alcohol on his mind, "Yes but I didn't think it was that big. (forgetting about the whole empire he erased) Well, I wouldn't mind blowing off some steam if any of them want to throw down but I know you can't even dodge without blowing up something." His carefree attitude really ticks off Ash sometimes, "Alright let's get drinks I think everyone in here isn't that stupid." King nods and Ash sits at a table trying to hold his power down as much as he can, anybody with at least basic skills an aptitude for magic can see how much power is seeping out of him. It shows who his dad is just by the color of his aura. When King got to the table after ordering the drinks some drunk bumped into him and King didn't react because he could feel Ash's eyes burn into the back of his head. They enjoyed their drinks which soothed Ash and helped him keep the pain of his power under control while King was a bubbling mess. "Ehh Ash, I love you l-like a brother *Hick," he leans closer to Ash practically in his ear, "Don't tell Ash but I think he is scary." Ash, being able to control his power more, stands up, towering over King, he puts him to sleep with a swift chop to the neck. The two were the only ones left beside the nice owner of the tavern and her teenage daughter. "One room for two please," he rented a room for them to sleep.
