Has he gone mad?

"You sure are ambitious... since that is the case how do you plan to explain that you have a child?? Are you, at last, stopping to act like a coward and get rid of your disguise??" Megan asked. "I need you to watch him for a couple of days so I can make preparations" Loken answered. "Of course but what are you preparing?? What is your plan??" Megan was very worried he might do something stupid or something that might endanger his life. "Do not worry Mother I found something else in that mine that will help me with my plan" He then stood up and headed for the door as he was about to leave he turned around and looked his mother in the eyes... determination and ambition... that was the feeling she got from him when she saw his face. "One week... that is all I can give you before others might suspect something is wrong... I can not stay too long away from work." She said to Loken as he was leaving.

Loken went home and took some rest for the night. He made up his mind after confirming that Ragnar might be Bahamuts son. Bahamut the most powerful being to ever walk this earth. He was a variant Dragon that could absorb and adapt to more than just one Dragon element... that is right he did not simply have one elemental affinity he had a connection to all the Dragon elements which made him stand at the top. That was also the reason why he believed his mother, that Ragnar could be the child of Bahamut because Ragnar was able to absorb and adapt to the Human elements. He had a plan in mind that would ensure him to grow up in freedom. The next day Loken walked to the mines to get himself more Blackiron and Adamantite this time he took some of the treasures from the Silverslayerclan into the mine inside of his hidden rings.

He took Flame marbles and the Flamesword he created in his first attempt to create Dragon element imbued Blackiron... now called Obsidian with him. His plan was very simple... he wanted to melt the Iron and store it in his hidden rings but what he needed for that was heat... that's were the Flame marbles and the sword come in. As he arrived at the overseer of the mine he just told him he wanted to stay for eight hours and proceeded as usual... he let his rings be inspected and paid the fee for staying two days again. When Loken arrived inside of the mine he unleashed his tier five Apprentice power and headed deep down into the mine... he was extremely fast this time, the other miners he passed by did not even notice him... he proceeded to where he found the egg. Of course when he told the overseer that he did not know how he found the Metal last time was a lie. As he was proceeding to the depth of the mine he soon noticed that he was being followed.

There were two Beastman following Loken... one was a huge Human-sized Mole Beastman and the other was a Fox faced Beastman... the Fox was the same Fox that was in charge of the mining shop at the market. That Fox told the overseer to inform him when Loken went back inside the mine so that they could follow him to the new Metal vein Loken found. "How is that shrimp so fast... was he hiding his cultivation??" The Fox said to the Mole. They first followed Loken by sight but they then realized that they could not keep up with him and began to follow him by his scent. "No... that low life must be using his elemental connection to feel the way ahead." After a long time of traveling deep into the mine, they saw a three colored Metal, shining on the wall. "Seems like we found it... we hit the jackpot"

They walked to the Metal and wanted to investigate it but suddenly Metal cables came from the Metal and bound them to the walls. It was the Python's grip. They were bound completely only their heads were left uncovered. "What is this... is this a trap left behind by a powerful expert??" The Fox's face was filled with fear and despair... should they be tied to the wall without anyone coming by they would starve to death. Suddenly they heard footsteps nearing them... if it was the expert who bound them they would certainly die... but if it was a miner maybe they could survive.

When the footsteps stopped and the person was standing in front of them they saw Loken and took a breath of relief. "Loken... help us release these cables you are a Human blacksmith with Metal element affinity you should be able to break these cables... I will award you with some Blackiron."

Loken chuckled and pretended to not have heard them. He just stood there and grinned at the Fox. "What are you doing... help us already or I will let the sheriff know... I know that he has his eyes on you." The Fox thought that after intimidating Loken he would do what he told him and unleash them... Loken was known to be a coward who does everything he is ordered to. Loken then said "You may burn and have a miserable death for offending me" Burn? How could he burn them he is a Human and has no affinity to Fire and there is no way to sneak other stuff into the mine due to the overseer inspecting everyone... the two Beastman were dumbstruck and began to laugh and ridicule him "You are going to burn us, how funny what are you going to burn us with then? Have you forgotten that you are just a lowly Human" He thought that Loken must have gone mad and is spouting nonsense.

Loken turned around and just left... letting them back, tied to the wall. He then proceeded to where he found the egg... He sat down crosslegged and unleached his aura and felt all the Metal in his surroundings... Loken then realized that everything leads to this point... the whole Metal in this mine is connected to this point. He stood back up and began digging and setting up formations and protective barriers in the mine. Occasionally he passed by the two Beastman but he simply did not put them into his eyes he just continued with digging and setting up formations... every time they saw him they would curse out at him and threat him... but as time passed by and nearly two days have passed the swearing changed into pleading... that's right they were pleading for mercy... but Loken just turned a deaf ear to them.

Three days have passed and Loken then headed back to the center. He gathered eight jars of Fire marbles around him and arranged them in a circle... then he took the Flamesword out and placed it in the center... after that, he formed some signs with his hands and all the formations he sat up the past few days began to shine. The marbles inside the eight jars released their fiery aura and flew to the Flamesword. The sword then absorbed the aura and released a flame with unimaginable heat. Soon the ceiling melted and every bit of melted Iron was caught by the formations Loken set in place beforehand and flowed into chambers he dug out before. The truly remarkable thing was that Blackiron and Adamantite would flow into different chambers separating on their own.
