Jack's POV
I was silent as I began the walk to the fence. I needed some time to relax. All these events had changed everything. Drew, my brother, had betrayed us.
I was cut off when I heard someone yell,
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Joel screamed at the top of his lungs throwing a punch at me.
I reeled back from the shock. Then, I glared daggers at him.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you... " I snarled.
Then, I felt a small, stab in my back. The tip of a knife had just barely pressed against my back.
I froze.
Hera whispered in my ear. "If you ever harm another person again unjust I will kill you without a second thought.
Then, I grinned. "That will cost you, you bitch."
Suddenly, she was lifted into the air, gasping for air.
Joel's eyes widened.
I stole a glance. Anakin stood there, his lightsaber activated.
"Shall I end this women's pathetic life?" He asked.
I stopped. "No. Send them to the Badlands. And burn her plant collection the ground..."
I then looked her straight in the eye. "I won't show you this mercy again. Threaten me, and I'll make you suffer for it."
I nodded to Anakin.
"Break her leg. Same with Joel. Leave them for the raptors."

No POV
Where were they? It seemed to be some type of desert planet. But it made no sense. They seemed to have just appeared here. A heavily armored humanoid figure marched forward, looking over the savannah before them, then back to her peer, very different in appearance to her. He was human, more or less, but looked as though all the skin had been stripped off his body, and what remained had rotted, leaving his muscles blackened in appearance. His remaining eye, scanned the area, as he shrugged to her.
"I have no clue where we are. Perhaps, we should get a GPS?" He stated.
She removed her helmet, taking a deep breath in, as she scanned the dry area. Her reptilian eyes narrowed as she looked around, before turning to one of the many warriors gathered behind her.
"You, Chieftain. I need your warriors." She said, placing her helmet under her right arm.
The being stepped forward, large, with grey scales, a large crest, and numerous quills on the back of his head, his long, bird-like jaws filled with teeth, and his forearms ending in completely massive hands. Had he felt like it, the creature could've grabbed her with his single clawed hand and lifted her above his head.
"Yesss, my queen?" He asked, bow slightly, and averting his eyes.
"I need to know where we are exactly, and, failing that, food and water for our colonists and warriors." She said. "Your people have always been the greatest trackers. I entrust you with this task."
"We shall take to the hunt." The Chieftain hissed rising again, and bringing out a great staff, that ended in a spear tip that buzzed with electrical energy.
"Good luck." She said.
He turned and made a series of clicking and hissing sounds, as several of his warriors broke off from the horde of alien warriors, and charged off into the scrub and trees. She shifted her weight, as her armored plates clicked slightly, before turning back to the human.
"Any theories, Phase?" She asked.
"Kinda looks like Africa." Phase said, scratching his chin. "I was there once, a few centuries back when I had my beautiful face full of skin."
He indicated his putrid facial features, as she nodded slightly. "Then how did we end up in another galaxy entirely?"
He shrugged. "No clue. This will probably get me killed. My kind back home don't exactly like me. Several-thousand-bounties-on-my-head don't like me."
She put her helmet back on, the "T" design glowing slightly, as she pressed a piece of the helmet over her left ear.
"Mendel forces, this is High Queen Kirta Clett." She announced. "While we may be lost on an unknown world, this is no time to despair. Keep with your discipline and training, and soon, we will have our answers."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Mendel Warriors were soon on the desert's surface, scouting for any signs of civilization. The Orgaat had long survived and thrived on worlds such as this, and the Chieftain himself hailed from a world not to different from the one they found themselves on. Fitted within their massive, clawed hands, were several rifles, spears and combat knives, all designed, not for efficiency, but to help them master the art of the hunt and to kill with skill, not speed. The Chieftain looked over the deserts, spotting few plants, his predatory eyes narrowed, as one of his subordinates approached.
"V'ota, Great Chieftain. Our warriors grow hungry. Have you spotted anything, great leader?" The Warrior asked, bowing slightly.
"None yet, brother." The Chieftain said. "I pray to the Ancestors our kind have not found themselves on a dead world."
"Shall we release our hounds?" The Warrior asked. "They grow restless, and the handlers believe they have a scent of some sort."
V'ota nodded slightly, planting his spear in the ground, and kneeling slightly eyes focused on the horizon. "Let our Hound-kin hunt. And hopefully, we will have meat to gorge ourselves on."
The Warrior turned back to some of the other warriors, and barked at them, before making a hand signal towards the Hounds. The creatures were similar in appearance to the Orgaat themselves, but their quills shorter, and their bodies carried by four powerful limbs. The creatures barked and hissed, as their handlers released them, the creatures immediately heading off into the deserts without a second look back.
V'ota reached into one of his tribal pouches, and produced a comlink, contacting the High Queen. "Great Clan-Queen. We are still hunting. The hounds smell something, and we have released them. We will contact you again once we have found our query."
"Good work Chieftain. Good luck in your hunts." She said, before communications were cut.
The Chieftain looked back over the horizon, clicking his teeth together, as the hounds disappeared from view.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Helo Roslia walked along the edge of the wall, looking out over the desert. He still couldn't believe what had happened. He understood where the lions were coming from, but he didn't understand why it had to escalate to that point. So many of his friends had left, and…
He heard something, vaguely familiar. Almost like…
He turned. Outside the gate, he spotted several...Orgaat Hounds rushing towards the fence.
Then...he spotted several Orgaat Warriors following.
Roslia's eyes widened. "Mendel?! Here?!" He was slightly surprised, but the idea of an old ally coming back was incredible. The Chieftain rose a clawed hand, bringing his warriors to a stop, as several barked at the hounds, causing them to immediately sit down on their hunches and stop.
"You, Liber'tusi, are you friend or foe of Republic?" The Chieftain asked, giving a weary, sideways glance.
"Well, we have some explaining to do, but yes, I am former captain, now Admiral Helo Roslia."
"I am V'ota, one of the many Clan Chieftains." The Orgaat said with a bow. "It is good to see a friendly face in the desert lands. Let me contact the High Queen, before we continue."
Helo nodded. He turned to his communicator. "Mr. President?"
The voice of President Kennedy responded after a second. "We have some visitors."
"Copy. We will arrive momentarily. You are free to escort them in."
Roslia nodded. "Open the gate!" He ordered.
The gate parted, and Roslia motioned for the Mendel to enter.
"Unfortunately, the New Cyrannian Republic has joined a new faction here. We, like many others, were rescued by Emperor Jack Anderson. We are a benevolent force though, despite what some of our enemies might say."
The Orgaat noticed the tone of anger in his voice when he said that. He cocked his head to one side, narrowing his left eye.
"I am curious as to what has happened, but my warriors need a hearty serving of fresh meat, and my Queen should probably hear of this first." The Chieftain said. "But an Emperor seems very out of character for your people."
Roslia nodded. "Trust me, many of us know that. To our surprise, he's ruling very well, and has far less authority then Tyromairon. I would prefer a more democratic system, but this is the best we can get right now. But I do agree on that. Many of us had problems with this whole idea at first."
The Chieftain nodded slightly, as he and his warriors followed the Admiral into the gates and the rest of the base.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Roslia guided them through the city, explaining what this place was, how it got here, and the events that had proceeded since then. The war with Palpatine, the recent schism, and the fact that many former Cyrannian Imperials had forsaken Tyromairon to follow their new leader, who seemed to have gained their loyalty through trust and friendliness instead of fear. The Chieftain listened slightly, but he and his warriors seemed rather restless, many snapping their jaws slightly to signal for their lust for food.
Then, several human workers approached with several crates of meat. "A gift for you and your people. Token of President Kennedy."
"Praise be to him and the Ancestors!" The Chieftain said eagerly, taking the largest piece of meat and tearing into it greedily, before growling to the rest of his warriors to follow suite.
The Orgaat and their hounds sat down, eagerly devouring the food before them, as the Chieftain turned to Helo slightly, a piece of meat hanging from the corner of one of his jaws.
"You speak of a President Kennedy. I am not as aware of your politics, but did you not have a different leader?" The Chieftain asked.
"Apollo?" Roslia asked. "Long story, but he sided with our enemies. I wish it wasn't so, but he turned his back on us all."
"Hmmm." The Chieftain said. "I must contact my Queen. This information is very important."
He pulled out his comlink, holding up to his ear. "High Queen, I have very good news. We have found an old ally, the New Republic. The Ancestors are truly with us this day."
"Very good. Very good indeed." She said. "We'll track your signal, and meet you there."
"May your journey be protected." The Chieftain replied, clicking off, before turning to Helo. "Now, we wait for her arrival."

Drew's POV
"So, what do you think?" Siriulilus asked me. I looked in awe at the new city which had just been built! Sure, it wasn't as big as Colossus is yet, but dammit we're making some great progress so far! I smiled ear to ear as I scanned the new capital.
"Guys," I began. I turned to face them, and with a smirk I finished, "welcome to 'New Colossus'!" Everyone looked in awe at the structures and buildings. It reminded them of the old 'Colossus' in a way, but the structure of it and the overall design was way different! Our buildings were made up of titanium alloy steel just like the old capital's buildings, but they were way wider rather than taller. We could fit way more into one building than the old building's from the Empire could.
It took up more space, but it was better in the long run. More buildings for very specific purposes were made. Jobs were going to be offered through the roof! We have our hospitals, our military base, our restaurants, our places of entertainment; everyone was gonna get a chance to contribute to our new nation!
I smirked. This was gonna be awesome! If only my fucking leg can heal from that prick shooting me, then everything would be great! I suddenly felt something on my shoulder. Flinching in slight shock, I turned to see that it was Jade's hand. She was looking me directly in the eyes. The others saw what was going on, and they turned to walk away, smirks on their faces.
"You show great initiative, and have noble leadership qualities! What that tyrannic Emperor said, what he thought.. what he did.. That was wrong… He will get his someday, but for now we must survive. I have no doubt you will be a worthy leader for these people. You are probably the most sensible person I've met in this place.." I stood there in absolute shock!
Did Jade just say that!?
Nonetheless, I snapped out of my trance and gave her a smile.
"Thank you, Jade.. You are a great person too, even if you did try and kill me." I joked at the end. Jade cocked a brow and sarcastically asked,
"Oh? And don't be too surprised if I do so again.. Next time, you won't be so lucky.." I chuckled and held my hands up in front of me.
"Okay, okay. You win." I then got serious and finished. "Thanks for believing in me.. A lot of others may have followed me, but you I never would've expected." Jade cocked a brow again.
"And why is that?" I shrugged slightly and replied,
"Because you're careful.. You don't trust others too easily.. I get that! I'm the exact same way.." I looked to the side in slight agitation and continued,
"He on the other hand trusted people almost immediately! Probably trusted people too much! And now here we are…" I sighed. As pissed off as I was at Jack, it still fucking hurt me deep inside! My heart, my soul, it was crushed! I trusted him like a brother, almost like a new Landon! And this is the shit I get in return!? Fuck off!
Jade noticed my obvious inner struggle. She looked away with a sigh.
"I once trusted someone dearly too.." She said. I immediately turned to face her. "She was my best friend in the whole world.." Jade looked up at me directly in the eyes. To my shock and surprise, there were tears forming in her eyes! She continued,
"Her name was Kitana.. She was Princess of Edenia.." Jade shook her head. "A sorcerer by the name of Shang Tsung brainwashed her.. I turned to Raiden and the Elder Gods for assistance, but they were of no help…" She sighed and wiped a tear away, trying to hide it. "Kitana killed her mother, Queen Sindel.. Shao Kahn, the emperor of Outworld demanded it so! She came after me, but…" She paused, sitting there in silence.
I was on the edge of my seat now. I looked at her with slight worry and I asked,
"What happened?.." Jade continued to stare at the desert ground. She then softly stated,
"I killed her…" I sat there in silence and absolute shock! That was terrible! And no, I'm not saying Jade is in the wrong! She did what she had to do! But, having to murder your best friend… That must be soul shattering… She immediately shot to her feet and started to storm away.
"I gotta go.." She said. I snapped out of it and worriedly yelled,
"Jade!" She didn't respond, and she was soon out of sight. I sighed and stared at the ground. My anger was beginning to form! Not at her, but at all this bullshit that was happening! At Jack and his dumbass tyrannic empire! They must be stopped! I punched the ground in anger, trying to let off some steam.
"Drew..."
I turned to see Siriulilus approaching, looking quite nervous. I pinched the bridge of my nose in slight aggravation. What now?
"It's… the Empire. Two Star Destroyers just arrived." I widened my eyes in anger.
"What!?" I yelled.
"Our first new ships aren't even ready to deploy...They're...trying to contact us." I huffed.
"That son of a bitch! First he promises immunity to that lioness, then he banished us here to this God forsaken place to die, and now the fucker turns around again and decides to just finish us off anyways! That fucking snake!" I stood to my feet and looked Siriulilus directly in the eye.
"Get whatever troops you can.. I ain't letting these fuckers win that easily!"
"This is Admiral Thonaloc of the Dilanian Empire! I have been sent to send a message."
I turned to hear a communique coming from one of the ships.
"We are here informing that the Empire recognizes your Independence as a sovereign state, but will not tolerate any acts of aggression, espionage, or revenge against our people. Our ships will not cross the northern ridge, that shall be the border. You will be given a reprieve for now, by direct order of the Emperor. Do not spurn our mercy." I widened my eyes.
"The northern ridge!?" I complained. "We should at least have gotten up to the fucking Dilanian River! What a joke! Way to buttfuck us, Jack!"
"And to the leader, Akase has been returned. By official pardon of the Emperor. You have been warned, cross the ridge and you'll face the full wrath of the Sovereign Emperor and his Imperial Navy!"
With that, the two Star Destroyers hyperspaced away, as if they were never here. I seethed in fuming anger.
They arrived around fifty miles away, where at least five were patrolling what seemed to be the newly declared border.
Siriulilus growled. "We need to accelerate our planned fleet deployment. Including Dreadnoughts. We can't let this stand." I shook my head.
"No, we won't!" I agreed. "This fucker has now given us a shitty land deal! You know what we get? Nothing! We have this barren area, all the way till about the Northern ridge that leads into the Empire 50 or so miles away! Had we gotten it to the Dilanian River, we would have at least 60 miles worth of more land! They're fucking us, Siriulilus! They're treating us like we're nothing!" I then looked determined. "But we'll show them something! That is a promise!.."
Siriulilus nodded. "The moment we have a fleet capable of securing our desired land, we must seize it from the Emperor. Let him try to come to us from there. We'll crush them, and then march right on their capital." I nodded in agreement and said,
"For now, we must focus not only on building our military and fleets, but also on forming our government! We had a meeting hall similar to the old one built right in the center of New Colossus. " I then pointed out, "Only difference? It actually has a coffee machine that fucking works!" I looked Siriulilus in the eye.
"Let everyone know. Tell them we're holding our first ever meeting in about 20 minutes.. There's a lot to discuss.."
He nodded. "Yes, it shall be done."

No POV
Murmurs among everyone who joined in the rebellion against the Dilanian Empire echoed throughout the room. And that meant every single one. Even Adia and the citizens who left the Empire were present. Drew wanted everyone to have to hear what had to be said, and of the structure of their new government. Drew, Siriulilus, Apollo, Mufasa, Adia, and Jade were among the notable ones there.
They had convinced Jade to attend the meeting, even though she didn't really feel like it. She bit her tongue and attended anyhow.
'It must be important.. Whatever it is. I owe it to at least listen..' Jade thought.
"Attention!" Drew yelled, standing to his feet. Silence immediately followed. With a slight smile, he continued, "Thank you all for coming! As you all know, Jack and his Empire are completely against us! They're trying to bulldog us! They're trying to prove their superiority!" Everyone murmured their anger and resentment of the Empire's actions.
"But for now at least, we can't really do anything about it.." Drew continued. "Building our military will take time, so our resistance will have to wait." Everyone sat there with disappointed, but understanding expressions. "We need to focus on building our government and its structure! We'll start from scratch and make it better than the Empire's!"
"Yeah!" Everyone simultaneously said.
"I've called each one of you here, even the citizens, because I feel like you deserve a say in this too! There's no room for corruption and a horniness for power here!" Despite his crude analogy, everyone cheered in agreement. Finally someone offered to hear their voice!
"So," Drew began. "anyone have any suggestions? Any at all.. Just raise your hand."
Mufasa then spoke up. "We need a king. And I, for one, feel the choice can only be you." I widened my eyes at that.
"Me!?" Drew asked in surprise. "But why me?"
"Because, it can only be you." Apollo added. "No-one here has the level of knowledge and skill to lead us. Your knowledge, your determination, your refusal to back down, that is what we need right now. Only you can stand up to the Emperor."
"I agree." Siriulilus declared. "I followed because I knew you were right. What happened was a tragedy, but the Emperor was completely in the wrong in his response. You are the very symbol of this new nation, and it would only be fitting if you led it to victory." I sat there, still stunned by their words!
"I-" Drew began. "I don't know what to say.. Does anyone else agree to this?" Most of the people cheered their agreement. Some didn't necessarily agree a King was the way to go, but they figured it would be better than an Emperor. Drew smiled, feeling genuinely happy and excited about this.
"Wow.." He could barely contain his excitement and his graciousness evidently showed. "Well, I suppose if we're all in agreement, Monarchy it is! I'll be the King!" Drew slammed the gavel on the table, letting everyone know the decision was final. It was a new touch he added.. Everyone cheered, and began chanting,
"Drew is King! Long live the King!" This went on for a couple minutes before the hype all settled down a bit. Drew got their attention once more and said,
"I may not end up being the perfect leader, but by God I'm going to do my damn best to be!" This only fueled more hype among the people.
"And what will the name of our new kingdom be?" Mufasa asked. Drew put his finger under his chin in thinking. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jade.. She didn't particularly look like she wanted to be there, yet she was here anyways! It's not like Drew would've forced her to attend. She came because she felt she had to!
Drew sighed. She really was a good person.. She's just gone through a hell of a lot. He too had felt very similar to that in the past. Even though he wasn't involved, he still didn't want to see her so down..
All of a sudden, an idea lit up in Drew's head!
"I know what it'll be called.." Drew said to Mufasa. Jade appeared to look curious as well and looked on. Drew turned his gaze to where he was looking directly at her and replied,
"Edenia.." Jade gasped at that. It wasn't a gasp of negativity of any kind, she was just surprised by the act. "No.." Drew said. He smiled and amended, "New Edenia! 'The United Kingdom of New Edenia' if you wanna be that one formal guy.." Jade could only look on with her eyes widened. She was truly at a loss for words.
"Then, may the United Kingdom of New Edenia prosper, and one day, triumph over the detestable Empire." Apollo said, grinning. Drew smirked at Apollo's words.
"I like your spirit, asshole!" He teased. Not in a serious way, but in a joking one.
Apollo responded by flipping him off, a rather strange sight for the normally more reserved Libertus, or Libertus in general. Drew then began,
"Okay, here's what'll happen everyone:" He continued, "You all go home to the houses you've chosen for yourselves and just try and live life normally! I have records of what jobs you previously had at the Empire, and you'll all immediately go back to work as normal! We may be a brand new nation, but we're gonna be the ones who set an example for everyone else: through great betrayal and pain, rose an even better nation! 'Their government and their ideals is something we should follow.'. That is what people will be saying!" Once again, everyone cheered their praises and hype to Drew's words.
"Our kingdom will rise from the ashes of this tyrannous betrayal, and will prosper throughout the ages!" He finished. Everyone present stood to their feet and cheered with a round of applause. The entire hall echoed the thunderous cheering.
"Everyone go home.." Drew said. "Siriulilus, Apollo, Mufasa, you stay here for just a second.." Everyone exited the building minus those 3. Jade, however, walked up to Drew and said almost nervously,
"Um, Drew?.. Could we talk when you are done with matters here?" Drew nodded immediately.
"Of course, Jade.." Drew said. With a smile, I then added. "Anything for you!" Drew couldn't tell because of her mask, but he thought she gave a smile in return. With that, she exited the building, shutting the door behind her. He turned to face the 3 men he asked to stay behind.
"What is it, Drew?" Siriulilus asked, curious as to why they were asked to stay. He scanned each one of them with his eyes and gave a slight grin.
"Siriulilus," He began. "I'm making you Head of our military! Think you can handle that?" Drew finished with a smirk.
Siriulilus grinned, and nodded. "Those bastards will fall to our new fleet." Drew patted his shoulder.
"Good to hear! You'll make an exceptional commander!" He complimented. Drew then turned to Mufasa and Apollo.
"As for you two," he began. He had an expression of sadness and regret. "I… don't know how to say this…" Drew paused, leaving the two shocked and confused.
"What? What is it?" Apollo asked.
"Oh.." Drew sadly muttered. "It's just…"
Drew immediately went from 'sad' to excited when he announced,
"You two are my new royal advisors!"
Apollo stopped, before grinning. "Frak you for messing with us like that!" He laughed. Drew laughed at the top of his lungs. He barely managed to get out through his laughter,
"I got your asses good didn't I? Come on, admit it. I did!"
Mufasa rolled his eyes, but grinned. "You did. Thank you, I look forward to working with you."
Apollo nodded in agreement. "Same here. Thank you, my friend." Drew smiled and replied,
"No problem! You all will do great in your respective positions. I have full confidence in that!" Drew stood up out of his chair and finished with a sly smirk,
"Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta talk to the lady.."
All three nodded, and exited the room, leaving Drew alone.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Drew's POV
I walked to the door that Jade had went through and opened it. She was waiting just outside. I motioned for her to come into the meeting room so she could sit down.
"So, what's on your mind?" I asked her curiously. Jade sighed and looked up at me.
"It- It's just-" She took a deep breath and continued. "Why? Why would you do that? Why would you name your nation after my homeland?" I sighed with a frown.
"I just thought it might make you more happy; that it might cheer you up a bit. I can tell you've been through a hell of a lot, but I have too.. I know what it's like to lose a friend, to lose family.. You shouldn't've had to go through that.." Jade looked down in sadness, at the memory of her friend. Soon realizing exactly what he just said, she widened her eyes.
"You.. You did this.. for me?" I nodded.
"Hell yeah I did! I wanted to honor your original home, plus the name ain't bad either." I finished with a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood. To my absolute surprise, Jade took off her mask for the first time! And hot damn she was beautiful!
Wait
Did I really just think that?
'Of course you did you numbnuts!' I thought to myself. 'You said you were in love with her, and why wouldn't you be! She's so fucking hot! She's just like you and is also a great person once you got to know her a bit..' Jade sent me a smile that made my heart melt.
"Thank you, Drew.." She said. What she did next shocked me to the very core! She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a hug. I was frozen in shock for a couple seconds, before I slowly returned the embrace. "You're a true friend.."
I wanted this moment to last forever..
But of course, all good things had to come to an end sometime.. She let go and stood to her feet. She put her mask back on and in a surprisingly sheepish way, asked,
"So… I guess I'll see you around?" I smiled at her.
"Definitely!" I replied. She nodded and exited the room. I leaned back in my chair and held my chest.
"Jesus Christ.." I said in a mutter.
I'm in love!
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kenzi's POV
I couldn't believe this! Jack was such a prick for what did to my brother! Sure that was wrong what the lions did, but did Jack need to shoot him?!
"Search your feelings, they will light the way. Embrace your emotions, they will guide your heart. Listen to your mind, they will guide your plan. Do you understand?"
I froze, was that...Tyromairon?!
"Yes...I see it all...the light...the darkness...the balance..."
What was going on?!
"Good. You are doing well. Soon you will be the most powerful being in this world, able to challenge the Greek to direct combat if necessary, though that is a long way off." I peeked into the room where the voice was coming from, and saw Tyromairon talking to Jack! What the hell were they on about now!? Probably some new scheme to flex their power.. Then, the dark being turned to me. "Ah...the sister. Come, why don't you join us?"
I was pulled forward telekinetically.
"What the hell! Let go of me!" I yelled.
Tyromairon regarded the young girl, his expression blank. Then, the dark lord opened his mouth to speak.
