Origin

Ash was scared of the training, but she did go to the training grounds. Upon entering the arena, she took out the dagger Khas gave her and stepped forward. Khas was standing in the middle of the arena, covered by his cloaks so that he appeared as a mere shadow. She held the knife firmly in her hand and walked forward. After making 5 steps, Ash lost sight of Khas. She heard a high-pitched sound, as she looked down at her body. The sight of the blade of Khas' scythe sticking out of her abdomen shocked her. Then all went dark.

...

Khas was looking at the lifeless body before him and laughed. He proceeded to make his scythe disappear and return to his original position. After a minute, Ash's body rose in the air and was covered completely by runic symbols. Ash awakened raised her knife pointed it towards Khas and proceeded to talk "Why? Is there a reason for killing her? She hasn't done anything." Khas smiled and took off his hood. "You see... She has potential. Unlike any other mortal, she was born alone. No other soul has been given birth at the same time as her. She owns all of the power of the last 7 decades. No kindred souls! No fate! Only. The. Void." At the same time, Ash's right eye started glowing. Her knife dispersed into a bunch of energy around her. The being possessing Ash was crying out for mercy from Khas. Unfortunately for it... Khas had zero control over what was happening.

Ash smiled and once again talked "You... what a sad existence. Master? Teacher? What should I call you?" Khas looked her in the eye and shouted "Welcome back! How was the chat with Him? Also, if you wanna call me something... Choose for yourself! I don't care!" Ash lowered her arm as the energy around her, enveloped her and created the same type of light armor as Khas'. She then raised her hand, as rifts in space appeared behind her, and energy from them formed wings on her back. The wings were bigger than her and appeared to be burning. The rifts closed and Ash spoke once again "Master. I dare stare into the Void and use its power! What will you do?"

Khas was amused at Ash's provocation. He put both his hands in his pockets and started flying until he was at the same level as Ash. Chains appeared on his body, keeping him from moving. He then broke them, leaving them to shatter off the ground. "Little child... The answer is simple..." Darkness enveloped the two, blinding Ash. She couldn't breathe anymore, and if not for her wings, she would have been forced to kneel due to the pressure. "I WILL STARE BACK" Khas' voice was heard, as Ash's wings crumbled and she fell, kneeling. She looked up and saw the dark glowing. At the center of it all stood Khas. He descended to her and when he finally touched the ground... everything returned to normal. Ash was looking at Khas with a tear in her eye and shouted"How is that fair? He said he made you the weakest out of all!" Khas looked at her from above and shrugged "I also was supposed to be the smartest and a devoted worker! Yet I am lazy! Now, now... before I get ahead of myself, let's continue our duel! But please, restrain your usage of the void! Now get back up."

The two of them went back to their original positions, got ready, and fought. Ash conjured lightning in her hands and sent it forward as a destructive wave. Khas summoned a sword and conjured a rift, one in each of his hands. He hurled the rift forward, sending it through the wave of crimson lightning, and then slashed with his sword opening another rift. He quickly jumped in the newly created rift and then appeared from the old one, dashing at Ash. She was quick to react and, in a similar fashion to Khas, teleported away. She then conjured several rifts, from which she summoned ten greatswords and a jian. She held her hand out, took the jian, and pointed it toward Khas. All of the sudden, the ten greatswords all gained intricate shapes. Five became wider and displayed several runes describing mountains and five had holes appear in them. The five Mountainswords came in front of Ash and protected her while the five Claps of Thunder rushed toward Khas. He dodged or parried all of their attacks and slowly made his way toward Ash. Before managing to even make an attack, the swords crumbled and Ash fell.

Khas rushed to see what is happening, only to find out that she merely exhausted herself. He then picked her up and laid her down on a nearby bench. At the same time, Jade jumped into the arena and rushed towards Ash. Khas left without saying a word.

He exited the training grounds and headed towards the highest spot in town. There he sat on a bench and looked upon the city. He was standing inside one of the crystals atop the cavern. other than the bench, he could see through everything. He stood there waiting for hours until he finally spotted Ygvi. He brought the hero with him and both were headed for Khas' home. He swiftly jumped out of the crystal and landed near Ygvi. He approached the two guests and greeted them "You two seem lost. Are you looking for someone?" Ygvi looked at Khas amused and responded "Yes! We are looking for Hollow Moth. You happen to know him?"

Around them, everyone started staring the moment they heard The Hero and his Master were looking for someone dead. They did not know that it was Khas that went by that name back when this city was founded. Khas smiled and responded "Don't you know him? He was declared an enemy by his god, wasn't he?" while pointing toward the hero.
