The boy rested next to the oasis; there was a glint in his eyes as if he knew what to do. He sat on the ground with his knees tucked to his chest and his arms casually by his side.
Looking at his hand, he saw a black spark soon spreading into a wildfire onto his hand up to his elbow. The flames were dark and black like the sparks. If you looked into the fire, it was as if you were deprived of sight.
Standing up towards the front of the oasis, he passionately bowed down.
His voice, now grim, monotonously uttered, "My liege, I have finished my training, I await your orders."
A voice replied, "My first general, gather up an army, gather up an army of 'unfamiliars'"
"Yes, my liege, it will be an honor serving you."
"Show them... Show them a pain unrivaled!"
Submissively accepting these demands, he raised, clenched his wrist, and pounded his wrist into his chest like soldiers do when they receive commands from their chief.
Meanwhile, in the village...
"Gather up, gather up my citizens as we are in a time of crisis!"
Soon more and more people started to crowd around the front of a pedestal with a look of worry on their faces. The village's mayor stood on the pedestal, calling them over to tell them about the devastating news.
He trembled with a quavering voice and said, "As many of you know, a certain incident occurred with an orphan from this village, and he was forced to go to the island. This was a result of peer pressure from the other children. Those responsible will be correctly punished. My villagers, I have sent a message to those living better lives than us, those with armies that could fight against this threat. My villagers, we must start preparing for the doom coming. We are about to be shown pain... Many of us will despair, many of us will die, but my citizens we must take our responsibilities and uphold all our roles in this if we want to survive!"
Suddenly the crowd roared into patriarchal screams, ready to give their life at any time, the mayor's speech had worked.
