Chapter 1

Gareth stared at the menu in front of his hazel eyes. He had his choice of food right in front of him; he could have lobster, a chicken sandwich or some rice. The restaurant itself was very quiet; there was only himself and two strange men in hoods a few tables away. Completely empty and ordered. Perfect.

Gareth stared at the name of the restaurant on the top of the menu; it read "Lobsters Kiln." He'd heard a lot about their famous lobster and seafood deluxe however he was a meat eater at heart. He chuckled softly to himself as he recalled a time in his childhood when his mother would take him out to the very best restaurants. Those were simpler times...now he had to be his own man, an easy feat for someone who had grown up in his own company considering he was an only child.

Hmm I wonder if I should stay close to my roots with chicken or delve into the world of Lobster...tough choice...

Gareth stroked his beard before quickly glancing at the clock. It read 12:30AM.

I had better hurry up.

"Sir, are you ready to order?" The waitress said impatiently, she seemed a spritely woman with black hair in a ponytail. She wore a blue dress and had a red bow in her hair, her tanned skin shone bronze in the sunlight.

"I think I'll have a chicken sandwich" Gareth said with a smile as the girl wrote down his order and wander off to place his order.

Gareth stretched out his legs over the table whilst he waited and put his hands behind his neck.

This is the life...no worries...no hassles and most importantly...no guild to worry about...why can't Oak Town's other restaurant's be like this?

"Get away from me!" A voice yelled from behind him.

Gareth's head whipped around to see the familiar waitress being hassled by two hooded men who wore identical black robes.

"Ugh this is such a joke!" One of the men shouted as he threw a bowl on the ground.

"Yeah this ravioli soup sucks! You're charging us seven hundred jewels for this!" The other man said as he poured the slimy green contents of the soup of the girl.

" You're going to pay for that!" The waitress said angrily as she wiped the soup out of her head.

"What exactly you going to do about it girlie?" The taller man asked cockily as he clicked his fingers causing tongues of fire to appear.

CRACK!

Gareth widened his eyes as he saw the woman's slap mark on the taller man's face. The shorter of the two men sprung into action and pushed her onto the ground. He took off his hood to reveal spiky grey hair and an eye patch which contrasts greatly with his pale skin.

"You'll pay for touching master Kona!" The shorter of the two said as he booted the woman in the stomach.

The woman cried out in agony as the man was relentlessly kicking the woman before "Kona" placed a hand on his counterpart just as the woman was sent flying backwards into a chair, the wood splintering at the force of her collision. Kona took of his hood to reveal a wrinkled old man with yellow teeth and a wispy white beard.

"I'll handle this Baron." Kona said gently as Baron paused.

Kona sent a streak of fire hurtling towards the now teary eyed woman.

Gareth eyed the woman with curious eyes wondering what she would do next but to his disappointment he heard a scream of pain as the woman's dress caught on fire. The woman in a hasty fashion quickly tore off the upper region of her blue dress to reveal a gray tank top.

Suddenly, a small boy in a blue tunic and black trousers crept out and let out a squeak before rushing towards the fallen woman.

"Marlowe! What happened to you?" The boy cried as tears fell from his blue eyes.

"Quinn! I told you to stay in the kitchen!" The woman hissed in anger.

"Aw isn't that cute a little pipsqueak..." Kona said as he cracked his knuckles and nodded at Baron who tore Quinn from the woman's arms and held him firmly in his grip.

"I'm begging you don't hurt him he's my little brother!" Marlowe pleaded.

"Hurt him? I actually wasn't thinking along those lines but since you introduced the idea-"Kona said before he was cut off by a loud stamp of the foot.

I've seen enough, they will not harm that boy! I will avenge him!

Gareth stamped his foot again as he left his table and walked slowly towards Kona.

"Tell you pathetic excuse for a mage to release the boy!" Gareth said angrily.

"And just who are you?" Kona said incredulously.

"I won't ask again." Gareth said with steely eyes.

"Oooh I'm so scared." Baron mocked as he shoved Quinn towards Marlowe before standing next to Kona.

"Now that you've complied I'd appreciate-"Gareth started to negotiate before he was interrupted by a punch to the jaw from Baron.

Note to self don't draw attention to yourself unless you're willing to sort out the problem immediately.

Gareth hurtled down to ground and collapsed with a thud. He quickly rolled to the left and stood in front of Marlowe.

"Cheap shot." Gareth said as he splayed his hands forward sending three chains flying towards Baron which wrapped around his arms.

"Let him go or I will order him to kill the boy!" Kona said angrily.

"Not likely." Gareth replied as he dragged Baron towards him and then landed a powerful punch on his jaw knocking him out cold before dropping him on the floor like a sack of potatoes.

"Now for the main event" Gareth said with a smile as he dispelled his chains.

Kona shivered before sending a multitude of fire balls towards Gareth who dodged it by summoning a chain and swinging out of the way before landing on the wooden floor.

"Hmm...It seems that you'll be a little harder to put down..." Kona said as he removed his upper robe to reveal a muscular chest.

"I implore you to surrender and leave old man. I don't want to put you through your paces." Gareth said as he removed his black trench coat to reveal a navy t-shirt. He quickly smoothed down his blue trousers with his dark brown hands and then moved a few metres away from Kona who did the same.

"W-what are you doing?" Marlowe asked weakly.

Gareth and Kona got into fighting stances and shot her sly grins.

I'm not usually into getting all chaotic as I usually prefer order but this fool needs to be taught a lesson.

"No way! I forbid it! Take this outside like men! My parents come back today and they'll kill me if they see this place trashed!" Marlowe argued.

"Sorry but I can't let this boy's ignorance slide..." Kona said as he rushed towards Gareth with blinding speed and punched him

Dammit.

Gareth was sent hurtling backwards before his momentum was killed by a powerful kick from Kona which sent him to the ground.

Gareth gritted his teeth and knelt on his knee.

He's so powerful...maybe I've bit off more than I can chew?

"Pathetic...to think this is one of the best Beast Talon has to offer...I'll start with you then tear down that ridiculous tree house you call your guild." Kona said as he booted Gareth in the face knocking him to the ground.

Gareth tried to get up but his nose still stung from the blow to his nose. Kona booted him again in the face and then again and then again before finally stopping and grabbing Marlowe by her neck.

"A fitting trophy for my victory." Kona said proudly as he turned around and walked towards a now conscious Baron who stood up shakily.

"You can't take her-"Quinn shouted.

"I can dang well take what I like boy!" Kona shouted as he grabbed the boy and threw him next to Gareth like a rag doll. Gareth stared at the boy's unconscious form and narrowed his eyes.

"Let...her...go..." Gareth said calmly as he shakily got up to his feet.

"I'm sorry what was that?" Kona mocked as he threw Marlowe on a chair.

"LET HER GO!" Gareth yelled as he rushed towards Kona and punched him square in the jaw. Sending the man tumbling backwards into Baron.

"I'll tear you limb by limb!" Gareth yelled as he sent two chains which wrapped themselves around his legs.

Gareth swung around in a circle before making sure that Kona collided with the walls and ceilings as much as possible before dragging him down viciously. Gareth quickly ran towards the falling man and gave him a powerful kick which sent him crashing into the counter.

"Ugh..." Kona muttered as Gareth grabbed him and then head butted him.

"If you want me to be honest old man...I don't know the meaning of mercy." Gareth said as he gave the man a twisted smile.

"No...You can't kill me! Your one of the good guys!" Kona shouted in terror.

"Wrong, no one is good in this world people are just decent." Gareth said calmly as he clenched his hand around Kona's shoulder and squeezed as hard as he could.

Kona let out a cry of pain before his head lolled downwards, unconscious.

Might have over done it but I reckon I just dislocated his neck.

"This guy's done. Call the rune knights so that they can throw him and his buddy in jail. Sorry about the chaos." Gareth said in a business like tone as he opened the door and left the restaurant leaving a clearly satisfied Marlowe cradling Quinn in her arms.

Gareth smiled.
