Squelch 

A Hooded man sighed as he shoveled the desiccated flesh of a once beautiful girl "This is bullshit" he heard a low voice coming from his side he looked to where the grumbling came from it was Frank. Silas really tried his best to not roll his eyes Frank always could never really keep his mouth shut even when they were students together at the Uni "Its not so bad man we are getting what we wanted, and what's a bit of clean up I mean if we do it fast enough, I will stick you for a beer in district two what do you say?" Silas asked , a non-comital grunt came from Frank which he took as affirmation Silas took a good look around he meant what he said of course ,they really are getting what they wanted.

His eyes trailed the desiccation in front of him until it landed on their baleful leader the man was an enigma to Silas he wasn't to sure what the true motives are for him to "help" them gain the power he so openly flaunted he says that his reasons is to educate the world on the ways Silas still didn't exactly know what ways he was talking about but he took it in stride as he got what he wanted out of the man and Silas believed he to got out of them what he wanted ,  realizing that he was still staring at the man who was busy laughing into the squinted his eyes..."is that a smart phone" he thought not being able to fully make out what the man was doing with his hood up.

Suddenly he was shoved stumbling to make sure he didn't face plant into the flesh that was strone all across the floor( he did not want to try and get that smell out of his clothes) he turned to see what the commotion was about and groaned audibly at the scene in front of him. 

Frank standing over a diminutive man with a sharp angular face with beady rat like eyes smirking up at the hulking frame that was Frank "I told you to apologise you bloody brute or I shall take it up with the master and let him deal with the likes of you shit shoveler" a squeaky voice came from the rat eyed man it was old man Cenn, Silas wide eyed could only shake his head at the mans tone he truly thought he was better then everyone else just because he found all the nooks and dark corners of campus on the multiple islands for the groups activities and as always the man knew how to push all of Frank's buttons.

"I would watch you say little man or else…" Frank started his retort but was cut off quickly "or what you big oaf, come on say something you slime brained pig headed brute" Cenn berated,  Frank blinking fiercely at every word as if old Cenn was throwing blows. The man always was proud at how quickly he could tell someone off a perfect ability for a construction foreman ,glancing towards his friend Silas could see the rage bubbling inside thinking it better, that he should step in now to disarm the situation before Frank did something stupid even though Old Cenn had it coming and Silas would pay top dollar to see Frank beat the living snot out of the boot licker.

He moved past the growing crowd noticing that the two men's antics drew quite the audience "Frank" he said moving closer to his friend as he put a hand on his friends massive arm and his eyes went wide at the sensation Frank was vibrating, physically vibrating a quick look up said all that Silas needed to know; rage pure undiluted rage that Silas saw in his friends eyes "What the hell he thought" Franks was always one to be quick to anger but this , this was different a far cry from what Silas knew of his friend but before he could say anything to either of the two men old Cenn chirped in his squeaky voice "The brutes master has arrived it seems will you be the one to apologize for him I think begging would suffice, what do you think on your knees?-" Silas tuned out the rest as his mouth hung open in absolute bewilderment did the old fool really think himself so much higher then he and Frank did he think himself a king or a lord demanding for us to kneel of all things to kneel!. 

Realizing that he to now bristled with anger he shot a glare towards the fool he wanted to retort to lash back at the man but before he could so much as think of what he wanted to say a blur of black and brown hurled towards Cenn not noticing the incoming object, a dull thud and a loud Umph! came as Cenn shot backwards flying yes flying backwards with both feet off the ground hurling backward with such force he to became just a blur as he flew for a couple of more seconds before smashing into the opposite wall eyes wide as bucked and thrashed on the floor no doubt trying to get his breath back Silas looked to where Cenn was not moments ago where now a massive man stood with a out stretched leg with a size 15 boot at the at the end.

  It was Frank unbelievingly Silas turned to where the man was standing not inches away from him and back to where he stood mouth open so wide it hurt the corners of his mouth threatening to tear.

The agility and strength that frank just displayed was that of science fiction no man on earth should be able to move that quick that fast that strong Silas moved not realizing he walked towards his friend but before he could get so much as five steps before a bellowing laugh rang out a sweet wondrous sound that belied the setting they were in. Everyone in unison Frank included swung around almost twisting their bodies in on each other in the speed they turned and saw where the laugh came from and his breath caught. 

Infront of him stood the most beautiful man he has ever seen with golden hair with a twinge of white at the cerulean ice blue eyes seeming to bore into one soul with porcelain white skin fitted on a perfect face reminding Silas of depicted gods from ancient Greek if Silas did not know it he would have thought the man in front of him was some European beauty a model if he just had a bigger  he caught himself as he flushed he knew he did not swing that way but the man in front of him was just that enthralling "Finally!" he exclaimed beaming with a radiant smile so enthralled Silas did realize that his hulking friend came to stand next to him as well as the slight glow that rimmed his wrists and neck that could be seen under the mountain of robes. 

Still staring in front of him the blonde man continued "It seems the first of the awakenings have begun" he laughed again clapping his hands together "and a most surprising first awakening it is" staring down towards Frank "Now is the old man still alive it would be a shame if we lost him" the man said a loud groaning noise started at the back of the roam undefinable from him being so far away "Good good , Now that all the pieces of the board have been chosen let us begin this wonderful game" with a confused frown Silas thought "Game , pieces what game which pieces is he a piece who are the other pieces" but before he could come any sense of a logical response to his confusion the blonde man lifted his left hand and made a karate chop downwards stopping in front of his chest.

  "Now , that should do it almost even"  Silas wanted to look around to find out what the hell the man was talking about as he started to peer around he just realized that the massive form of Frank stood to his left about three or four paces away he frowned at the man silently trying to ask his friend what was up but he simply shrugged and pointed to the floor where a distinctive dividing line was formed as people decided in which group they wanted to be in finally clicking he turned back to the blonde man. 

Just then it struck him he was so focused on the man that he did realize what the man had said an awakening that was what they were after with the rituals that was what the man had promised them when came to them that fateful night months ago a pang of feverish jealousy rushed over him he turned sharply to his…...friend "why is it that he awakened that is not fair I am the one who decided to follow I am the one who made all follow-" he caught himself wide eyed still glaring at Frank but before he could make any heads or tails of his own thoughts the man spoke again " Now those on the left you will carry on the with the rituals luckily the old still lives so finding places shouldn't be that difficult and I will leave the procurement of sacrifices to you" smiling viciously he turned to the Franks group "Now it is time to finish your awakening my good sir" again that burning overwhelming jealousy overwhelmed Silas still he kept his head forward not acting on his feelings as he watched their master move towards Frank a beaming smile plastered on his face he stood in front of Frank and his group  but what he said next made Silas stare, incredulity evident.

"Now everyone strip" he said
