'So let me ask you, do you want to live as slaves by leaving or someone as of equal status as all the people here?' I asked them, there was a lot of thought behind these words, they should know what will happen if they leave, there are pros and cons to everything, and it's not something they can just decide on a wimp, it's a decision that would decide the future of their families and their generation to come.

After all, humans, dwarfs, or any other species won't show them any mercy just because they are humanoid similar to them, greed, envy, hate, and happiness all these come hands in hand, one can't exist without other, one might be happy but others would be envious of that, they might want that happiness that the other person has, may it be in a physical sense or a philological sense if they can't gain it they it would become greed and that greed will eventually become hatred. That's how the world works, after all.

Well, anyways, it's not for me to decide what they would do, I can only tell them what the outcome may be,

[you know, when you don't act crazy, your experience from war, and everything you have been thought makes you seem mature]

Let's not talk about my past, it's something I wish not to remember if possible.

"my tribe will join you," the elf with a lot of muscles said.

"Yes, my tribe will also join you" the blue sink elf also said.

'You are not joining under me, I am just giving you all a place to live in this forest, you are under Zeno, I am no king, I am just a guardian' I said, to clarify that I am not going to be ruling them in any way, I plan on helping them settle down after that whatever they do is up to them, I would just watch from the sidelines if they are in trouble, that they would not be able to handle only then would I act unless that happens I would not help them, I am just supporting them, I am not a crutch that they can use whenever they feel like it.

"Yes, Lord Nova we know," both of them said in unison,

"Ahem it might be a bit late but I too wish to join under you, or his majesty Zeno" Allisa who had been quiet up until now spoke as she to bowed down.

'So Zeno what do you think?' I asked Zeno who was their king,

"I welcome your tribes, in my kingdom," he said, as he commanded them to stand back up.

'Now that I think about it I never asked your names?' I asked the two tribe leaders,

"My name is Virile, I am the leader of the Farrier tribe," the Bulky elf said,

"My name is Dorelor , I am the leader of the Curb tribe," the blue skin elf said.

'I see then Virile, Dorelor' I said, to remember their names.

Wait Star can't you just make a file on them?

[I can, do you want to make a file on everyone you have ever met?]

Ya do that, it would be easy to remember things, and a lot of stuff about each individual person I will meet throughout the years.

"Where is Elstaer? Wasn't he suppose to be in this meeting of the tribe leaders?" Zeno suddenly asked as he looked around,

'Who's Elstaer?' I asked,

"He is the leader of The warrior tribe," Dorelor said,

"And where is he?" Zeno asked,

"He might be drunk and enjoying the company of all the women he has," Virile said, there was disgust mixed in his voice, I could imagine why.

'Oh, now things are getting interesting' I said, as I heard him say that.

"Should we bring him here?" Dorelor asked

"Yes bri-" Zeno started to speak but I cut him off,

'No, let's go to him' I said,

"But Lord nova, and your highness, it might not be pleasant," Virile said,

'And why is that?' I asked him,

"The place where the tribe is situated is not the best," he said, there was hesitation and disgust all over his face,

'More the reason to go see what is going on,' I said, 'Virile lead the way,' I commanded him.

"Yes Lord Nova," he said, as we moved towards a particular direction of the small village that we were in,

'Do all the tribes live in different directions?' I asked,

"Yes, all of them live in different areas, depending on which tribe they were born in, it also prevents form fights to break out between different tribes." Virile explained, as we moved I saw that, the tribe's tents which looked good, clean, and meetly arranged started to look like they were stomped by people. They were all over the place and there was a smell of something in the air, and I knew what it was when it reached my nose, and I could hear screams or should I call them moans from some tents.

Zeno had been walking beside me, looked to be discussed to his core, and making faces that I had never seen him make before.

'Calm yourself, Zeno, you are a king now not a tribe leader, if you show your feeling like this then you are nothing more than an elf that others can use, based on your emotions.' I reprimanded him, 'never show your emotions on your face, make it a blank slate, always remember that as a king you have no right to get angry or show your emotions to your people, for them you are a person they can trust, their lies are on your shoulders, you showing your emotions to others emotion just means that you are weak' I said,

it might be cruel of me to say this but he needs to learn what it means to lead, you have the responsibility of thousands if not millions of people as a ruler and you can't show them weakness, a ruler is supposed to be strong.

As we walked through this part of the tribe I could see, there were a lot of children that looked as if they were starving, no they were starving, I could see it their bodies were so thin that I was afraid that if they were to fall, they might break their bones,

And as for women, it looked as if they were only here for the pleasure of the warriors, however, I could see a few families that looked to be normal, but by the looks of it, they were afraid.

As I looked at them I knew that they felt, desperation.

I had been In their place in the past, I knew this feeling way too well, afraid if they would survive another day or not. Afraid of not being able to feed their kids the next Day.

As I was thinking this we finally reached a big tent at the end, there were many elves with weapons that were standing guard, noises were coming from inside the tent, noises of people doing the deed,

'Zeno, remember what you have seen so far and engrave it into your memory. This is what happens when you are not a good leader, this is what will happen if you do not rule by using your mind, only a select few will be in a good position while the others will suffer, and everything that you might build up thorough out the years will fall, just like a castle of sand under the contentions waves of water as I looked up towards Zeno I could see a complicated emotion on his face, 'sorry for pressuring you Zeno but this is something you will have to understand'

"Yes lord Nova," he said, as he took a deep breath and then clenched his fist, however, this time there were no emotions on his face, his face not even betraying him slightly,

As we were speaking I could hear the snorts of the guards around us as they heard what we talked about but I ignored them,

'Bring Elstaer out' I said, and one of the guards went inside the tent after that, soon the noise of something breaking came, and soon blood could be seen coming out, bathing the ground red as the cloth used to make the tent turned Red from soaking the crimson on the ground.

Some screams followed the blood, mostly of women inside.

As I looked around me, I could tell that everyone was startled when they saw the blood and heard the screams, I could see Zeno clenching his fist and Allisa had taken a few steps back,

I sighed when I saw this and commanded 'Zeno follow me, and as for the others stay here' I created a double ganger and placed it with the others to make sure that they would be alright as I went inside the tent while Zeno followed me.
