He was at his room or apartment in the guild. He was minding his own business. He wasnt really the social type, though he knew he should be one. But for now he kept to himself. He was glad his armour was remedied and looked better then ever. But he realized with how he got carried away by the armour talk, there was no mention of his blade. Looking at his claymore, it did carry some damage on it. And he was sure he could sharpen the blade. He wonder was it salvegable. He considered testing its cutting capabilities against some targets just to test its sharpness. He needed to know was the blade good or was his strength tearing through his target. He needed to make sure the blade's edge also contributes in the slicing, not just his strength.

Once he placed his blade aside, he went to open the window to let some fresh air. Couldnt get the room to get stuffy with lack of air, after all. Again, he couldnt help but looking at his gauntlet and the armour he had. Its been a good while since it was in a polished and good shape. It felt good to wear it. Now if only he could find a tailor to make a new cape that would help him represent the guild better and he'd be set. Although he noticed something and turned his attention back to the guild.

He placed back his helmet, because he was a secretive guy. And then peered out to see what was going on. It seemed that someone came from Rush Valley to the guild hall with some news and announced to the entire guild or at least those who were there and not off questing elsewhere.
Tamas might have been new, but this did not mean he was a rookie by any means when it came to battle and preparation. Which meant he needed to make himself useful and contribute to the group, so he quickly mobilized into action.

There was some trouble in the north and it was up to him to stop it.
Well... him and whatever guild mate also comes, which he was sure that others would most certainly come and also deal with it. Unita fa forza. Unity creates strength. All of one, one for all. He wouldnt be surprised if the guild master joins in on the action as well. He was a man of action too.

Tamas wondered who could have attacked the guild. He was certain it was not Sleeping Calamity since Yuurei said that they were sleeping. Metaphorically speaking that is. Now back to the matter at hand, the fiorian surmised that since the courier came from Rush Valley, the action was there. So of course he made his way to Rush Valley along with his guild mates.

Funnily enough just as he wondered who could have been the attacker, he had heard the newer news. Their foe was called Chaos Eclipsed and what was funnier in a grim sort of way. He was right, Rush Valley WAS being attacked

Indeed, there was no time to waste and he kicked himself into action and made his leave. Some people had mounts, he personally didnt. But he made sure to borrow one. He promises that he would return it later

He rushed with his newfound and borrowed steed and made his way to Rush Valley. You could say he rushed to the valley~
Terrible pun aside, he really was in a rush and wanted to come to his destination as soon as possible

For now there was nothing he could do. He and the horse he borrowed were rushing to Rush Valley. They still had quite the way to go. The others had magic or even more magical mounts and steeds. He had your run of the mill average horse. Part of him wondered if this animal belonged to anyone when there were more magical alternatives. He assumed so.
He patted the animal
"I shall return you to the guild after this. Make sure to be as far away from the carnage when he arrive. But for now... Hyah!" he rushed the horse more after having the gentle moment with it

While he did remember Yuurei said not to harm the innocent, he was 100% sure that anyone who called themselves Chaos Eclipse or what not was not considered innocent in any sense of the word. Which means, he could use his blade to kill. To spill blood.
He loved to spill the blood of his enemies. He was certain when he arrives there to the action, he would see red. Metaphorically and literally with all the bloodshed the Chaos Eclipse people did to the civillians on their own.

He had no idea what to expect in terms of carnage, chaos and damages. But he was ready for anything. Nothing phased him in that sort of sense. In a way, he welcomed the chaos.

Tamas wished his brethren were here. People he already knew. But they were off on their own adventures. He wished them well in their own journeys and endevaours.

He could see the incoming carnage ahead. That did not mean that Tamas was close by any means. It just meant the scale of it was quite huge. Although he did see a shadow blitz by him. He looked up and saw it was Yuurei who just blitzed ahead, moving through the air.
Yep, as one would expect from a guild master. Leaves fashionably late, but arrives just on time.
The guy had style, he'd have to give him that.

Still, he couldnt believe how long it took to get there by horse. He would dread to imagine going there by foot. Although he does feel mildly sorry for the sad sap he left behind because he stole their ride. Mildly, not a lot though.

He couldnt wait to arrive to the battlefield though. He was all to eager to spill some blood and make some heads roll. As he looked ahead, he was noticing that he was catching up to some guild members, albeit some.
He was sure the more advanced ones had speed on their side and superior magic and mounts. And he was sure that by now they have all arrived, along with the guild master who probably blitzed by and arrived on cue to deal with the menace

He sighed and grumbled a bit "They better leave something for me. They better" he thought to himself.
As he had some time until he arrived to the danger zone, he wondered what was the motive of these Chaos Eclipse guys. Why destroy? Or what was their end goal? What was there purpose or structure? Not that Tamas care, but since he had time until arrival, he did ponder to himself these rather meaningless things. Or even in the aftermath. If one of them survives, would they be taken for questioning or just killed. Personally, Tamas would like both. Get answers and have them killed. People like those were not even worthy of prison. But as much as he wanted that. It was not for him to decide

He was sure that at this moment he was around half way of his journey to Rush Valley, or at least he passed the half way point and way on his last stretch as he was two thirds over yonder. Well, it was one of those, which gave him hope. The beginning is always the most tedious. But now knowing that he passed the half way point meant he was reaching the end of his journey. And the despair of the journey. Its annoyance of eating dust of higher ranked guild members. Was replaced by pure excitement and the renewed bloodlust and will to shed blood of his enemies.

He couldnt wait to stain his blade with the blood of his enemies. As much as he wishes the blood could rejuvinate his blade and make it better. Sadly it was not a magical blade with such properties. But an average and damaged claymore. Nevertheless that did not dull Tamas's spirit to spill some Chaos Eclipse blood
"Almost there" he'd think to himself.

He'd just need to remind himself, he passed the half way point and he was on that last stretch to arrive to Rush Valley and fight. Perhaps he would be the one with the most excitement to battle the Chaos Eclipse considering he'd be one of the last few to arrive since his trek took the longest. Which means yes, he'd even be more excited to kill than Toge, who was supposedly evil as said by Yuurei

Tamas was still curious about that. But he was not too eager to meet and interact with others. Or at least not eager to start an interaction with any guild mate. He was just happy minding his own business. But if a guild mate needed assistance or a Shield-Brother, he would be happy to serve in battle

Again, he was excited that he was almost there. He could almost smell the carnage and the fire that was going on there. Heh, part of him wondered if Renji would even be there or would it be too hot for him.
No ill will towards him, but it was a funny thought in his head. Or at least funny to him. He doubted anyone else would find that amusing. Then again Tamas had a strange and maybe morbid and dark sense of humour.

He could see the smoke in the distance as he and the horse were nearing Rush Valley. He was overjoyed that there was a lot more action to be had. This was his heaven. And it looked beautiful. He couldnt wait to arrive there first hand and see all the splendour of carnage and the battle

He just couldnt wait to slice into the enemy. Perhaps the fact that his blade is not as sharp is even better. It meant torture and torment to the enemy. A rusted and dull blade tearing through you might be worse than a clean cut. Because a clean cut goes through you fast. But a non sharpened one goes slower and maybe just maybe, the blade gets stuck to cause pain. Oh the idea of twisting his blade to cause pain to the enemy. It brings joy to him. It'd be music to his ears.

He was happy and yet he did not start fighting yet. But he could sense it. He was close. The battles were at his fingertips, metaphorically speaking. Tamas smiled behind his helmet. Overjoyed and excited for whats to come. He will fight the enemy. And yes on the side save some people. Thats a side dish. The main course was BATTLE

Just as he hoped. He would arrive there. And finally just FINALLY, he would see the carnage at first hand. The smoke he saw from the distance. It was the houses burning, and he could hear people screaming as they were doing their best to run away or fight back from the attackers. This truly was heaven to him. Sure it was hell to victims, but it was heaven to him.

Strangely enough, this remined him of home. Perhaps of the time before he got adopted. He for a moment tilted his head to the side and wondered if this group attacked his home years ago and killed everyone he knew. He shrugged off that idea as he didnt care. He just needed to focus on the situation at hand. He could not be awe struck by the carnage.

He was not alone here. He was not here for selfish reasons to indulge his darker side. He was here as a member of Paradise Dawn. And he would help these innocent people and slay the evil group that caused them harm
