Ellios was confused, shocked, and baffled by the statement made by the individual who was slowly walking over to the group. It was only when Ellios saw the individual come closer and remembered where he had last seen those eyes before.
"Polemos? No that's not possible, shouldn't he be dead buried beneath the sand, how did he survive?" Ellios couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Polemos getting closer and closer to the group.
'Didn't we kill him already, who or how the hell is this trash alive?' Ellios was starting to lose his mind a little as his face started to shake.
"Polemos? Who's that boss?"
"Yeah, who is he boss?"
The two lackeys of Ellios were both confused and couldn't see why Ellios was a little scared.
"Well that's just rude, you never told them about me Ellios, well how about I introduce myself. I'm Polemos, grew up in the orphanage, was tortured daily by him and his associates, then they tried to kill me, and then proceeded to bury me in the sand. Some good times man." Polemos smiled a devilish smile as he reminisced about his early life.
Ellios' eyes went wide when Polemos started to talk about the past with a smile on his face. 'When was he this talkative, and why does that smile not look like a smile.'
"Yes we were all the best of friends back then weren't we Polemos, and if I remember correctly aren't you supposed to be kneeling in front of me like normal." Ellios sneered while he tried to take the momentum back and suppress his shaking.
"Are you ok Elder Spear?" Polemos completely disregarded whatever Ellios was saying as he was making sure that Elder Spear was ok.
"Yeah I'll be fine, thanks for worrying about me Polemos, but you should leave and not get yourself into trouble." Elder Spear was more concerned with Polemos getting into trouble than he was about his injury.
"I'll be fine, what started this whole disturbance anyway and why did those two dogs hit you." Polemos pointed to the two lackeys of Ellios without even looking at them.
The two lackeys and Ellios's faces went red with rage as one was being completely ignored while the other two were just called a dog. And before any of them could react Elder Spear told Polemos what had happened.
"Well it all started because the little one over there kept trying to steal everyone's catch, that's meant for the tribe. I even tried to reason with them by saying I could fish for them but he," Elder Spear pointed at Ellios with a shaky hand. "Said that since I'm a slave that it doesn't matter what I propose, I should just be grateful that they even wanted my fish."
"Exactly, what's wrong with that, he's just a lowly-."
Smash, crunch!!
Idiot A never got to finish his sentence as Polemos smashed the butt end of his harpoon into his face, breaking a few teeth in the process along with his nose.
"You no longer get to talk, now who else wants to say something stupid." Polemos had a very scary look in his royal purple eyes as they started to look at the other two.
"How about you Idiot B, you got something smart to say. And don't worry Ellios I haven't forgotten about what you said but, I think it'll be you who'll be kneeling." Polemos continued to stare down the other two.
Ellios and Idiot B were so shocked that they couldn't say anything as Polemos smashed Idiot A's face as it was quick and brutal.
"Wow! Really, nothing? Where's that confidence you always had Ellios, or was that all just a facade. I mean you were one of the weaker followers of Alyan. I mean this is just sad, it's my first time seeing you again and it's nothing like I pictured, well almost actually." Polemos laughed as he had a disdainful look in his eyes as he looked at Ellios and his other lackey.
Idiot B tried to say something in response but all he did was point his shaking finger at Polemos and passed out with his hand pointing to the sky with the white of his eyes showing.
Elder Spear, Ellios, and Polemos were all a little stunned when they saw what happened to Idiot B.
""So weak."" Replied both Elder Spear and Polemos.
While Ellios just stood there mouth opening and closing, like a fish out of water that needed to be put back.
"Wow that's some excellent friends you got there Ellios, at least I was able to say something in the past. Even if it was just sounds of pain it was at least something." Polemos rubbed his chin while he looked at Ellios with pity. But that only lasted for a second before his eyes turned cold again.
"Y-yo-you shu-shut your mouth Polemos you piece of trash outs-." Ellios couldn't finish his pathetic excuse of an insult as Polemos had pointed the sharp end of his harpoon at his throat.
"If I were you I'd learn to shut that mouth of your 'friend'. Because if I hear anything come out of it, you'll be getting a brand new hole that ends at the back of your throat." Polemos showed no emotion and emphasized his threat by putting pressure on Ellios's throat to make it start to bleed.
Ellios audibly swallowed and started to even piss himself as he was completely scared and was wondering what type of devil had they awakened.
"You ok there Elder Spear." Polemos asked with emotion in his voice.
"Yes I'll be fine, I'm stronger than I look, you should know that by now Polemos. But do you know what you're doing, and know of the consequences?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll take my leave. Take care of yourself Polemos and I'll see you tomorrow for our annual fishing competition." Elder Spear smiled and waved as he turned around and headed to a different location to fish.
Murder and death were so common in 'The Banished World' that no one would really question why, when it happened.
"Can do Elder Spear, I'll be able to kick your ass soon!" Polemos cheerfully replied back to Elder Spear as he then returned his attention to the pissed stained Ellios.
"You know you're a lot weaker than I remember, how did you train because I was expecting something, well more to be honest. Besides I never did see how strong any of you were as it was always a group of you. Hey are you even listening, guess not." Polemos's eyes shone a very devilish purple color as he stared down Ellios and was frankly a little disappointed.
Then Idiot B started to wake and moan.
"Gods, that was a scary dream, why am I outside, who?"
Before he was able to fully comprehend where he was at, Idiot B felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen and noticed that he was pinned to the ground by a harpoon.
"Yeah I'm gonna need you to stay still and not distract me from my joyous reunion with Ellios here." Polemos said as he pulled out his axe from his waist and slowly walked towards Ellios.
"Ahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!" Idiot B screamed in pain till he passed out again for the second time.
As Polemos was walking towards the terrified and pissed stained Ellios he stared with cold emotionless eyes at Ellios as he spoke.
"You know I've thought of so many ways to get my revenge on all of you that it sometimes made me think I was going crazy, I don't think I'm crazy but, who am I to judge." Polemos spoke with a little wonder at first then shrugged at the end.
Ellios didn't even move from the spot where he was at even when Polemos pinned Idiot B with his harpoon, as he was too scared and frankly he wished he hadn't come to the water source today so he wouldn't have had to experience what was currently happening.
"Gods this is just depressing isn't it Ellios, I mean first it was Idiot A, who decided to run his mouth for whatever reason. Then Idiot B just collapses, who does that really, then he wakes up only to be pinned to the floor with my harpoon. Then finally there's you, a pissed stained weak little Ellios." Polemos recalled the more interesting points since they met all the while having that devilish smile, and those cold purple eyes.
Ellios was at this point as pale as a ghost, with piss still running down his leg as snot and tears were falling from his face as he tried to say something, anything to plead for his life. But nothing audible or comprehensible came from his mouth.
"Don't worry as your 'best friend' how could I leave you like this, don't worry it'll all be over soon, so what sounds better; a curb stomp on my axe, an axe to the throat, or just an axe strike to the head." Polemos asked Ellios, but didn't care if Ellios responded as he was only talking out loud to see which sounded better to himself.
Before Ellios even tried to say something Polemos had come to his decision on how to kill Ellios.
"You know what, curb stomping your face into my axe sounds like a lot of fun, so let's do that. What say you 'best friend?'" Polemos had a very happy expression take over his face as he came to his conclusion.
Ellios's eye went wide in panic as fear spread across his body. He tried to run but he couldn't as fear completely took over as nothing like this had ever happened to him before. Ellios was used to doing what he wanted because of his relationship with Alyan, but never expected to run into the supposed 'dead' Polemos.
Polemos gripped his axe and decided to break both of Ellios's knees to make him kneel before giving him a proper curb stomp.
Polemos then sent a strong kick to the outside of Ellios's left knee, breaking it, as Ellios screamed in pain and went to try and grab his leg, Polemos broke his other knee as Ellios fell to a kneeling position.
The sounds that came out of Ellios and his knees didn't faze Polemos at all, as his only focus was to end this pathetic scene.
"You know this is really weird if I say so myself, I'm completely calm and not freaking out as I take your life, is that normal I'm not sure." Polemos said aloud as he was right as this is something new to both Jason and Polemos, but decided to ponder on it later.
"You know it's almost done so you don't need to scream that much longer you'll be dead soon, and so you don't worry I'll make sure to bring you some company, also could you warm them seats for me will you." Polemos grinned a toothy smile as a devilish purple gleamed across his eyes as he swung his axe into Ellios's face.
As the axe went into his face and as Ellios's body dropped still twitching. Polemos stomped the back of his head ending his pathetic life with a crunch.
"Ahhhh, that felt so relieving. I think I might be a little twisted in the head though."
