The Chronicles Of The Blessed War

Taking a break

After raven and Ethan were done talk they head back up. Ethan told the party that he decided to stop explore the dungeon. Say they need to rest and get stronger.

The next day Ethan went to the blacksmith to request an item. He replied "i cant make any promises, but i will try my best." Ethan return home, when he got back he lazy around for the day, as it was not something he did offen. Ethan spent the next few day walk around and thinking he did lite training with Leo and the others.

One day as he was walk around a cart went pass him. He notice though a gap in the cover something that piss him off. So he did a 180 and attack the drive asking loudly "where did you get this and who order you?!" The man shaking says "in a forest a few days from here. The man that told us about it, is a high ranking adventurer." Ethan process tie the man and his friend up.

He then calls Enies tell her what happen and to get more info out this guy, and to sort it out over here well his away. She agree and the end the call. She get everyone involved. Well Ethan is at -10% race home.

After a bit he back to see his home has tents around it. He slow walk to the front door, as he get close and close he becomes uneasy. He get to the front door, he push it open to see a sight that blows all his emotions away. His family home is a mess there is dirt everywhere, stuff are broken, the only image of his mom and dad is gone and the basement hatch is open.

Ethan step inside, the men inside notice him and are on there guard, they talk but Ethan cant hear what they saying. He ever so slow walk forward.

On guy sword in hand runs at Ethan. Before he could slash Ethan grab his head. He turn to look at the guy eye completely white. He then say to the man "are you responsible for my home looking like this?" Before the man could respond Ethan crush his skull in his hand. The other men take a step back. Ethan then look forward at the men if front of him, he then take the hand cover in blood, and brush it the his hair as his say Maniacally, "of course you are who else come of done it, hahahaha!" He then process to Slaughter everyone else.

When only one guy remains Ethan walk over to the guy crawling backward, the man ask "why?" Ethan say calmly "you guys came and reck our haven. Now I assume you want to live so tell me what i want to know."

The man tell Ethan that there are 100 other people around here. They are here to collect the dark trees. Ethan leave the guy with this "Tell everyone that this forest belongs to Ethan."

Ethan a little calmer beat up the rest, only those that offended him died, aka the guy that are all bark and no bite.

So once he dealt with the enemy he fell to his knee and start crying, the tears would stop coming. He just kneed there for hours.

Back at town Enies and the other are crush anyone who is connect. and those that survived got tied up and where questioned later. Even the nobles that play a part in this were not safe from the chaos.

When Enies and the other were done they head back to the house to wait for Ethan. Ethan return all clean and smiling, he said thank for your help and walk away. Erey stop him say he need to explain. Ethan look at them all and said, "fine here what i will say, they stole something that wad mine, end of story." With that he leave he stay in his room for the next 2 days. It made everyone worry.

At noon a platoon of the army came to get Ethan. Ethan was expecting them so he leave again with a word. They took Ethan to the king. Ethan kneed and lowered his head. Before the king could speak he said "your majesty im sorry i took it a little to far. They damage my home and i lost my head. Im deeply sorry."

This was when the member of the king retainers start talking amongst themselves , one said it the death sentence for him. The other seem to follow the same thought. The king raise his hand to quite them and said, "Ethan im sorry you when thought that i should of paid more attention, on my subjects." Ethan replied " i was just make sure that what is mine stay mine." The group of retainers became confused. The king the explained that after the war his great-grandpa was give land, that just so happened to be have the dark forest in it. So by that the nobles were steal from property of a nothing noble, just so that they can make money.

The king then addressed Ethan by saying "is there anything thing you want for what happened." Ethan look around the replied "yes before hand the nobles to the guards. i found out how much money they stole for me, so i want every cases back." The king look at Ethan and said "is that all, you can ask for something more." Ethan look at the king and said, "in that case, can i ask that after you punish the nobles, that i get one of their daughter preferably a pretty one." The king giggles "i see so that how you are. It fine as the heads of the nobles response able shall be executed in a few days." Ethan say "it not like that, nevermind" with that Ethan was done meeting then king and when home.

He got home and explained what happened to the people at home. 3 day pass and Ethan went over to the 3 noble house to pick up the money and daughters. After that he return home. Once home he found Liz and told here to show them the ropes. Ethan the when and found 10 men and told them that they gone somewhere tomorrow. So they should get some rest.

In the evening Ethan relax in bed when he hears and knock on the door. He goes and open it. When he days he see the 3 nobles girls dressed in very revealing out fits.
Ethan slams the door shut saying "what why, are you dress like that?" One of the girls replied " head maid Liz said, that our father cause you pain, and the reason you tool us in, was so that we could do the night service." Ethan hears faint uneasiness though door. He shout Liz! that shakes the house. She appears next to him on her knees and he head lowered she say yes. This makes Ethan jump away in fright. With the door now free Liz open is with out move her body much. The 3 girls come in before they get fully in. Ethan jump up and push them out and say excuse me for a second. He close the door. The 3 girls put their ears on the door they hear Ethan shouting at Liz, said "Liz im not a perv, nor am i and de gen that get girls to night service me, because of something their dad did. They are a safety precaution, with them here their family will not try anything! Now go to your room and think long and hard about what you did!"
A faint smile ask be seen of Liz face as she mutters "long and hard." She then get up and leaves. Ethan then look at the close door and see the lock, so he lock the door and go to lie on the bed. He think to himself this girls are weird, i know that this must happen but it still weird, now with the door lock i can be left alone. Ethan falls asleep.

The next morning he wake up to fine nobody in his bed. He then get dressed and goes to eat. Crister greet him like she did when she first got here. Ethan did take note. He ate his food and told Crister, that he was taking some men with him for a few days and that she should tell the other.

After eating Ethan went and found the 10 men and left. They took horse and Ethan ran. When that got near the forest. Ethan point in the direction of his house that can be seen and said, " whatever you do dont go that way please, i trust you to listen to want im asking. He lead the the a short route in the forest, to the dark tree area the men look in awe there were so many trees. Ethan the said "okay you 10 will be working as dark tree exporters, i will so you a way to make this tree worth more." He walk over to a tree and yanks it out he the explains "okay you know that dark trees are hard to came by, and it dangerous  with monster around, lucky i know this area so as long you follow the route we took get here will be fine. Now on to the next thing. I learned this in the incident a few day ago. That extracting the trees from the ground is easy. The problem is the root as you can see it get in the way. So they cut it of with magic. The problem is that magic can only be use on dark trees a few times. So it became hard to make gear with it. So i got a solution that will make it easy to use and more expensive, but the more we sell the lower the price will become eventually. But that in the future. So here what you do." Ethan raise his fist and then break the root off with his fist. He continues "so if you break it of with brute strength the it fine. I know you going to say im the only person able to do so. But your wrong i got a tool made for you." He hand said tool to one of the men, and tell him to break the root of other tree he yanked out. After a few swing it break of the all cheer. Ethan the say, "now that done i will explain what going to happen next. First we will go home, and then you will gather the needed supply, to camp up here till a house is built for you. Your jobs will be to get the tree out the ground break off the root and the send it to the guild. It not going to be easy but it good money. Plus you can bring/make your families here. So what do you say are you willing to do this." The all agree quite quickly.

Now with Ethan new business on the way. He spend the rest of the time, till the day he meets Hariela. Training and help out the others. Raven move in so it easy for them to train together.
