Weeding Out The Bad Ones From The Good Ones!

Dark clouds appeared and blanket the skies with darkness of the night as thunder a lightening boomed from it silently. If the gigantic creature was alive, it would know that the lightening was the same one that killed it, Black Chaos Dragon Lightening. Oddly, the clouds part a little, making it seem like two cold gigantic eyes were looking coldly down before disappearing in a swift manner, not leaving a trace behind.

"Raheem, the boss is getting crazier than normal these days. Yesterday he randomly kills that yellow monkey, today he could kill one of us. Originally, there were twelve of us, now there is only seven! How can we be sure that he won't kill us like he did to the yellow monkey and our brothers?" A huge black man with scars all over his face whispered, while cleaning his machete with a damp rag.

The man had his back against the walls, as he watches the other men, doing the same, looking warily at the leader of the group who was smoking some drugs, not paying attention to the doings of his men. After all, if he has the guns, they will never be able to take him down.

Sheesh!

"Be quiet, Rohr, and watch what you say. If I wasn't your brother, but one of them, I would have handed your over, you need to be cautious. Still, what you said was observe by the others as well, we have decided to get rid of him, lest we up dead somewhere while we sleep." A similar huge black man with dreaded black hair said as he lectures his brother, while not forgetting to position his body in a launching position as to protect themselves from the others

As the two of them spoke, they did not realize that there was a ghostly figure watching and listening to their entire conversation. Of course, this was the master of the cave and dimension, looking at the intruders or maybe was he the intruders? Who knows?

He cast his eyes towards the leader, sitting in the middle of the cave, while thinking of what to do.

The leader sense something wrong and drop the drugs he was smoking as he felt a shudder down his spine. He did not know where the feeling emerges from, but he felt that death was close, so he took his gun out, watching his mien warily as they were the only ones around that could threaten him.

He couldn't but be sad as he doesn't even remember a time where he could have his guard down, without feeling death was close.

All the men stuck close the walls of the cave, not sure what had set the leader on edge. Some of them was secretly nervous, not sure if one of them had sold them out to the leader.

He was deep in thought, so he didn't see the reaction of the leader. Originally, he decided to kill some of them with his new powers and taking the rest as slaves to help him out, but hearing what the two brothers said, he taught it would be best just to kill the leader.

The leader was the one that had killed him, plus from the words of the brothers, the leader was not a kind leader and even killed his subordinates, just for the pleasure of it, still he was not one to believe the words of others, so he uses his new-found power, Soul Eye, to check the information accuracy.

With this ability, he can read and alter the memories of anyone that he uses the eye on. The only way to not be affected would either to have a strong soul or be dead, as the eye was too powerful that not even a powerful Primordial Creature or God and Demons could withstand easily without succumbing under the influences.

The eyes of the leader become lost and hazy as drool leaked out at the edge of his mouth, making him look derange. All the men had kept their eyes on the leader the entire time, thus when they saw the eyes and reaction of the leader, they hesitate, should they take the chance? It could be a trap set up by the leader after all!

As he read the memories of the leader, he frowns as he could not believe what he was reading. From the memories of the leader, he realized that the leader was not as evil as the two brothers made him out to be. The leader was a brave and loyal person that takes care of his subordinates. As for the people he killed? They were people who planned to betray the group by selling them out to other groups, so to prevent his men, who he grew up with, from being kill, he killed the traitors.

Since he never actually tells the others the reason as to why he killed them, they saw him as cold-blooded person that wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

Of the group of men, there was only two men other than the leader that was loyal to the group and that was the two brothers, Raheem and Rohr, the rest were moles planted there to kill the group, after all, the group of men were from tribes that have been destroyed, seeing what happened, they pledge to protect the dozen or so tribes around the area, thus preventing the other groups from controlling the areas and become sovereigns of an area.

As for why he killed him? It was because the leader thought he was a scoot sent by the other groups to test the waters, obviously he fires his gun, killing the 'scoot' in an instant. After confirmed that he was not a scoot, he regretted it and even wanted to bury the body but was disappointed when he saw that there was no body left behind, which he thought was taken by wild animals. Feeling guilty, he started to smoke some, marry j, to calm his nerves. That what happened upon until this time.

Although disappointed that he couldn't kill the leader, he plans to kill the other four, keeping the leader and brothers as his slaves. Moving his eyes around, he saw the situation was spiraling out of control, the other men were eying the leader with bloodlust but was still hesitant if they should attack.

He release the leader from his Soul Eye memory search and extend the range to the leader and the two brothers, while using it to speak to them, " Pledge your servitude to me and I can guaranteed you a life of wonders and power, if you decide not to, I will have to kill you three and extend my offer to the other four. Now, state you position!"

The leader didn't get a chance refocus his attention, when his mind was attack with a powerful authorities' voice that made him wanted to bow and worship it. But as a person who led others before, he resisted the urge and replied using his mind, "I want to know, will there be any harm to my brothers if they work for you? If you can, please do not harm my brothers, you can torture me instead!" The man wasn't sure if he was crazy or not because of smoking so much drugs, but for him to be hearing a voice in his head, it means that he was on the brink of insanity. Still, considering that the voice could be God, he didn't want to take the risk, thus he asks.

The voice was silent, then spoke again, "I can't grantee the lives of the other four, but I can grantee the three of yours, because I can see that the three of you are very loyal and nice people, but the others are traitor and betrayers. Thus, decide, will you serve me, or will you give up your lives for these four people? Decide!"

The two brothers were frightened as they wonder if the voice that they heard was perhaps the voice of God, but when they heard the voice of their leader, they were surprised as they never expected him to say something so moving, that they shed tears.

"I shall serve you!" The leader drops his gun and kneeled as he spoke his words. He closed his eyes and shed some tears, making the other four men confuse.

"We shall serve you as well." The two-brother kneeled as well, looking grateful at the leader.

"Good, clean the bodies up in a second!" The voice sounded out in the room in a booming tone, scaring everyone out of their minds. The leader and two brothers were a little better but was still scared, but when they thought how he was their master now, they became oddly please as they look on, wanting to see the show.

But what happened would make them have nightmares for the rest of their lives, as they witness the four men dying in weird ways, some with their bodies exploding inside out, and some dying with their bodies perfectly intact.

Looking at the bloody seen, the ghostly figure shook his head in embarrassment as he couldn't even use the powers to a fraction to that of the gigantic creature. If the gigantic creature had done it, the men wouldn't even leave a body behind and for the perfectly intact bodies, the results of the Eye of Death, he should have been able to absorb the souls, but instead the souls disappeared.

"Still needs practice. Sign, removed these pieces of meat and returned here. You can choose to run but I advise you not to." He ghostly figure left in a flash of invisible red light, to where unknown.
