The darkness was lonely tonight. The sky seemed empty, and even the two moons sat in a somber mood, their radiance dimmed, causing the night to be thicker than others.
The sound of the night was soft and almost non-existent, which was why Northern needed not to shout or raise his voice before the other four individuals standing five meters away from him could hear him.
"The reason I assembled all four of you here today is simple."
All of them had a guarded demeanor around them. The air around Northern was somewhat heavy; it was almost as if their hearts could feel the tension he was exuding. The only problem was, he wasn't exuding any tension. Northern just stood there.
"I want to teach the four of you how to work with me."
They looked at each other, exchanging glances and mutterings. In the silent night, Northern could hear them clearly.
"What is he saying?"
"Work with him how?"
"Does dude think he's special?"
