Chapter 31
In a dark orange misty planet, where the sky was orange and the air was misty while the ground was hard and orange in colour also, there were beasts walking around everywhere and also men in black masks were walking side by side with the beasts as if they were nothing.
All the humans there, had a black robe on with black masks on their face and different weapons on them all. And some buildings were scattered around the whole strange world.
Out of the hundreds of men, a dozen of them were seen heading towards a huge building that had a huge like beast surrounding the building. The beast wrapped itself around the building that looked like castle.
While its head was twisting around looking at those that were heading towards the building.
The beast was long and huge while it had blue scales all around its body with two horns on its head and a powerful jaw on its face. There were also huge wings on its back.
The dozen men walked towards the huge castle like building without an ounce of fear on their faces.
Well, their faces wasn't seen because of the masks they wore on their faces. When they got to the gate of the building, it opened and they were let in while the beast roared loudly into the sky.
After passing through the gates, the dozen men were met with the scene of an empty courtyard while eerie sounds were heard around them.
Walking in, a loud voice was heard in all their heads.
"Head West."
And the men complied as they headed west to where they stood taking them into a dimly lit hallway and a huge door standing at the end of the hallway.
As they walked on the marble floor, their hearts were thumping loudly as they slowly approached the door. When they got in front of the door, it opened up and they were let into a room that was huge enough to host around a hundred people in it.
Then in the centre of the room, a round table was set there with about 15 chairs surrounding the table. Then at the edge of the table, a throne was set there were a lone figure with a mask on his face sat.
The mask the figure wore, had horns on it with fangs on it while also colored red and black. The mask covered the figure's head totally while the horn stood on his head.
And another man who also wore a mask like everyone else was seated in one of the chairs patiently.
"Welcome y'all, please have your seat, we are waiting for the last person to arrive." The other man said and the dozen men took their seats.
Right on cue, a portal opened up in the middle of the room and a man who had half a mask on his face that didn't cover his hair walked in.
His hair was red in colour and he also wore black clothings. Taking his seat, the supposed meeting was about to begin.
"Red, you always like to make an entrance don't you." The man on the throne chair spoke towards the man who had just walked in through the meeting.
"What can I say, am a very busy person you know." Red said. "So what's the reason for the meeting?"
"Actually, it's nothing serious. My oracle here, saw some visions which he told me about and that's why I decided to invite you all here including some of the generals of my army and their lieutenants."
"Devil, what do you mean by it's nothing serious?" The supposed Oracle who had been seated before everyone said.
"Because to me, it's nothing of concern." Devil said.
Why was the man who sat on the throne chair called devil? that was because of the mask he wore. And he preferred being called that name as it befitted his behavior.
"And what did you see?" Red asked.
"A disaster!" The Oracle said.
"Will you just go straight to the point?" One of the dozen men spoke.
"Fine! I saw that there's a chosen mage in the human world, this mage is going to be stronger than any mage we have ever seen or battled with. Even stronger than Mage Blake." The Oracle said.
"Impossible!" Another one of the men shouted. "Blake was the strongest of them mages and we managed to defeat him and you are saying someone stronger than him has appeared?"
"Yes! Although I didn't get to see his face that well, I just know his name, his hair color and I can also see that he hasn't grown strong enough to give us a challenge yet. But he is getting closer to being a strong mage."
"And what's his name?" Red asked.
"Grey! He is red haired." The Oracle said.
"Grey? Never heard of that name yet. The reason I asked for the name was to know if he is anyone notable from the human world but I guess not." Red said.
"So what do we do?" One of the men at the table asked.
"That is why I said there's no problem yet." Devil chuckled. "He hasn't grown strong enough right? So why not recruit him into the otherworlders group and groom his strength so we can use it for ourselves.
But if he doesn't accept to join us, then we squash him while he is little."
"I actually like that idea but there's one problem though." One of the general at the table said. "We don't know what he looks like we only have his first name to go by and his hair color."
"Well, that is what Red is for. He will be the one to find him while one of you will be in charge of convincing him to join us or getting rid of him."
"Why can't red do all that?" The general asked.
"That is because of his position in the human world. I don't want it compromised yet, we still need him to be in the high position a little longer for our takeover to work." Devil replied.
That was when one of the men stood up from the table and he bowed down slightly towards the Devil.
"Allow me to take on the task of bringing Grey in." The man said.
"Oh! Tiger! What a perfect choice, with your immense strength, you are the perfect candidate for this. And with you, the task will be easily done." Devil said.
"Alright then, the Oracle will still keep on trying to identify Grey while Red is tasked with looking for him and when he is found, Tiger will be given the job of getting rid of him.
And then, nobody would stand in our way of taking over the human world and also rulling the whole world!" Devil laughed.
