RAKSH

Most of the people Raksh had met thought he was an uncivilized brute.

They were right. But Raksh was also smart and strong.

When he was a shaman, everything was simple. He was able to make things fly and make himself stronger by using force, so he was a leader. Anyone who disagreed would end up killed and eaten. Thanks to that other villagers would know that fighting against him was stupid. He was strong, so he was the ruler of flesh raiders.

It didn't mean that he wasn't smart though. When Kallig approached his village, he wasn't the one who fought him for power over the village. Instead he sent one of his stronger subordinates to do that, making him pretend to be the leader. When the subordinate was instantly slayed, Raksh knew he shouldn't fight the newcomer. He instead decided to join him, as Kallig was stronger and smarter than him, so he would learn many things by following him.

It was proof that Raksh was smart and strong.

He learned many things from Kallig. Lessons were quite hard though. He had to understand the concept of not killing his subordinates for their failures or slowness in completing his orders or giving others good things so that they would be more willing to listen to him.

It was quite hard to comprehend it, but Raksh did his best to do that. Using these ideas would make him strong like Kallig. He would be able to command the sky and steal blood from others.

It would take time though. Raksh still couldn't make lighting yet. But he would learn to do that through being 'nice'.

Raksh had to work hard as he wasn't the only minion of Kallig. Kallig decided to take two other servants. Blue Slug Woman and Metal Angry Woman.

Blue slug woman was weak, using only a small light shooter as her weapon, not having any useful abilities or strong body. Well, she was constantly walking after Kallig, bringing him food and praising his name, so she was useful as a normal servant, despite her weakness. Raksh didn't understand why wouldn't Kallig use someone strong to do that though. Weak Blue slug might die while bringing food to Kallig and then the food would be lost. Someone strong would be able to protect the food.

Metal Angry Woman could do that. She was strong, with her fire weapons, light shooters and boom makers, so she would be able to protect the food. She was angry though, so she might drop the food. Thinking about that made Raksh understand the hardships of being a leader. He didn't envy Kallig having to decide between two scary possibilities. Raksh didn't think he would be able to do that.

It made Raksh realize he still had a lot to learn about leading others.

For now it was better to just be a minion. He didn't have to worry about these things, instead spending time learning and eating good food.

That was why he was happy when Kallig told them to bring him that Weird Metal Thing they saw in the hut of the Strong Witch.

He didn't know why Kallig wanted it, but Kallig was smart, so he probably had a good reason. Normally Kallig would do it himself, but he was tired from making the sky angry, so he let Raksh and others do that. Raksh wouldn't let him down.

He, Blue Slug Woman and Metal Angry Woman were running in the direction of the ship. Witches, dead witches and male witches were ahead of them, already fighting metal warriors. They had to hurry or Weird Metal Thing would be dead before they would be able to reach it and that would mean failing Kallig.

They were able to reach the ship quickly. There were metal warriors defending it, but their attention was mostly focused on witches, letting the group enter the ship unharmed. They had to destroy a few groups along the way, but it wasn't too hard. Metal warriors were weak, being a threat only in big numbers.

They found the place where the Thing should be located, according to Metal Angry Woman and Blue Slug Woman, but the doors to it were sealed shut. He tried to hit it a few times, even strengthening his blows with the force but it didn't budge. These doors were strong. What should they do?

"METAL ANGRY WOMAN. BOOM IT" He said to his companion, waiting for her to boom the door. She was good at doing it, as she made many dead warriors disappear during the last fight. Maybe she would be able to do the same there.

"Don't call me that!" She said angrily "And I don't have any explosives strong enough. I only have a few grenades " Even Metal Angry Woman's boom was too weak for doors? These doors were truly strong.

They had a problem. Neither he or Metal Woman could destroy these doors and Blue Slug Woman was weak, so she wouldn't be able to do anything. They would fail Kallig. Not good.

When they were wondering what to do, someone approached them. It was a Loud Witch, the one with two light swords, who was previously defeated by Kallig. She was strong, but loud, so Raksh didn't know what to think about her. Was she trying to steal the Weird Metal Thing and bring it to Kallig herself? They were first there!

"You still haven't found Grievous? Pathetic!" She said aggressively, sending them a condescending look. She probably tried to show herself as the strongest in the group to make them listen to them. It would be a smart decision if not for the fact that they all knew Kallig was the strongest. Raksh wouldn't follow someone weaker than Kallig.

"LOUD WITCH DESTROY DOORS" He replied, showing he wasn't intimidated by her. If she knew how to open them, she should do it instead of talking. They shouldn't make Kallig wait.

She scowled, sending him a warning look, but didn't say anything. Instead she made her light swords glow and put them in the doors. making them burn, as was the case with almost all things touching the light sword. Loud witch then started to move her swords, slowly cutting through the obstacle. Soon she made a circle with them. Then she used her power to throw a circle inside the room, making a huge hole.

He instantly entered it, ignoring the witch's shouts. She probably wanted praise for what she did, but it was a light sword that made a hole, not her. Light sword was strong, even stronger than mighty doors.

Inside he found his target, Weird Metal Thing, alongside some metal warriors. It seemed like they wouldn't have any troubles. Metal warriors were weak and Weird Metal Thing looked even weaker. They just had to catch it.

"Ventress. So it was you, who 'cough' came for me. And who are your companions? Twi'lek, mandalorian and a beast? Are they really the only ones who decided to accompany you?" The thing laughed, as if making fun of them, despite being a weak thing. It made Raksh angry. He would tear its arms. Kallig just wanted the thing, not its arms. "I would have thought that the sith lord would come with you. It must mean that He and Talzin have died from exhaustion after pulling that impressive stunt with the storm. How commendable of them"

It was still talking, now saying stupid things. Did it not understand that it had no chance? Metal things were really stupid (except Metal Angry Woman, she was smart).

"But I am afraid their deaths will end in vain" it said, before dropping its cape on the ground. Raksh saw that it had many light swords on its body. He was now reaching for them. Raksh didn't like where it was going.

Then the Weird Metal Thing split his arms. Now it had four arms, with a light sword in each of them. Then he started to swing them, showing that he knew how to use it.

Raksh was starting to think that capturing Weird Metal Thing wouldn't be easy at all
