Ashton has been taught manners and a code of honor by his mother. Like his mother he is very protective of his family. Beware of getting him angry because he has his mothers temper which can be deadly.
Ashton has always known that Gabriel is not his birth father but when he learned that his father had left them when they where newborn his temper got the best of him. He decided to find the man who had created him just to leave him without a father. He found his way to the land that his father was living in. As he asked the towns people about his birth father Sage he learned many things about him. The people of the town found him to be a joke, that Sage was some womans circus monkey. That the woman who was a queen of a barely existing clan, was using him to do her work by giving him promises she didn't keep. Ashton looked for this woman and her home within a tomb.
When he finds the tomb he creeps in quietly and seeing no one is home he hides within her home. For hours not a single person enters or leaves the tomb. Ashton was crouched in a dark corner behind a statue when he heard the door open and the voices of a man and woman. He peered out around the statue to see a man with pure white hair standing next to a woman who was scantily dressed and wearing royal tags. He knew this was the man he was looking for. He waited as the woman sat in her throne and the man sat beside her on the floor. He then pulled a small pouch from his cloak pocket and emptied its contents into his hand. Quietly he creeped around behind the throne and sprinkled the powdered mix over the two. A few minutes later the two of them where sleeping. Once he was sure they where asleep he tied the woman to her throne and bound the man's hands together as well as his feet. He then casts a spell over the entrance to seal it for no one else to be allowed into the tomb. Once he had done this he sat waiting for them to awaken.
The woman woke first and when she saw Ashton pacing around the room she began trying to speak. He shot an angry glance at her telling her to stop wasting her energy. He stood over the man and nudged him with his foot trying to wake him. He was still deeply asleep and the woman was now fully awake and Ashton decided to remove the gag from her mouth. Immediately the woman began to beg him to let her go and not harm her. Tears were running down her face and she was blubbering like a child.
Ashton walked over to her quickly holding a silver dagger to her cheek, "Shut your mouth, it isn't like royalty to beg and plead. Although I guess thats what you get when you let a common whore be a Queen." He then walked over to Sage who was still sleeping and gave him a kick to the stomach and yelled "WAKE UP YOU STUPID ELF."
Sage began to groan as his eyes opened. When he was fully conscious he looked up to Ashton and his eyes grew wide. Ashton could see fear in the mans eyes, along with what looked like an understanding. He reached down to the man sitting him up and then stood up towering over him.
"How could you leave her for this disgusting whore. Your family and your wife weren't good enough? Maybe you where just afraid to be a real man and take care of your wife and kids. Children deserve to know their father, but I never did. Thats right Sage Llen, I am your son. But you wouldn't know that because you left when I was an infant. You don't even know my name. But you will know my name now, and you will remember it."
Ashton walks over the the woman who was sobbing and sniveling. He pulled back his hand and slapped her across the face. "If you want to cry, now is the time." He holds the dagger to her cheek pressing the blade firmly to her skin cutting it deeply. Her screams echo through the hollow walls as he carves the letter A into her right cheek. He looks over to Sage who is now blubbering about the woman being innocent and that she doesn't deserve to be treated like this. That her family needs her.
"Her family doesn't need her, she is a useless waste of space. And you, your family needed you and you walked away. Mother needed you, I needed a father and you weren't there." He turns back to the womans face, blood was dripping from the letter carved into her cheek. He put the dagger to her cheek again carving into the flesh the letter S next. The womans screams and tears not phasing him. He held her head against the back of the throne as he continued. The next letter he carved was an H, placed right next to her nose. He looks to her eyes seeing the fear and pain and he smiles. Her turns her head so that her left cheek is facing him and holds her head back firmly. He begins carving the letter T next to her nose followed by O and N. He then let go of her head having his art work finished. He looked at the finished product, his name was now carved across the womans face and her blood was driping down her cheeks and neck bathing her collar in bright red blood.
"Look what you've done bitch, your nasty blood is all over my name. I am going to have to clean that up." He walks around the tomb until he finds the bar. He grabs a bottle of alcohol and carries it with him as he walks over to her again. Sage had managed to get himself right next to her. he was trying to comfort her which made Ashton even angrier.
Ashton grabs Sage by the hair and pulls him away from her. He opens the bottle of whiskey and then tilts the womans head back and pours the alcohol over her wounded face. Her high pitched screams of pain echoed through the room as the alcohol stung the freshly carved skin. He continued to pour until he had washed what blood was already on her face, away.
Sage was now pleading with him to let the woman go. Ashton looked into Sage's eyes, his own eyes blazing with anger. "Don't you understand what this is about. Can't you see what you have done to us. You don't deserve to live, but what is worse than death. Thats right, living a life without those you love. So, on that note I think its time for your punishment." He gathers the womans hair up and holds it on the top of her head with one hand as he begins to drag his dagger across her neck starting below her right ear and going around the front to the left ear and around the back slowly. Once he had a shallow slice all the way around her neck he began to dig into the cut making it deeper. He pushed the dagger into her throat just far enough for blood to start pour from her mouth as she cried. She coughed and blood spewed forth onto Sage who was sitting at her feet watching helplessly. He was crying and saying the same three words, "I'm sorry madam".
Ashton heard his words and stepped away from the bleeding woman who's head was hanging down and bleeding profusely. He looked at Sage and spoke softly, "this is all you fault father." He then turned back to the woman and drew back his fist, he then plunged his fist into her face so hard that her neck broke and her head rolled down into her lap. He then spit on her and turned to Sage. "You don't deserve the family you walked away from. You will never be a part of my life and if I see you ever again, you will be in her seat. The only difference is that you will have longer to suffer."
He then kicks Sage in the stomach and spits on him before walking to the door. He stops at the door and unbinds it then turns to look at Sage. "Have a nice day bastard." Ashton walks out of the tomb leaving the door open and begins his journey home again.
