28 A Twist of Fate (2/2)

”You need to understand your place mortal, if you wish for me to leave then make me” retorted Draig displaying a cruel smirk

The man hearing the arrogance that Draig spoke with seethed in rage and raised his hand intending to strike but felt the arm he had lifted feeling lighter all of a sudden, the first sign he had gained that something was wrong was the scream followed by the scrambling of chairs and tables as the Guilders who had seated around Draig stood drawing their weapons.

Draig raised his hand holding the arm of this suave individual and took a bite as if an apple.

”If you raise a hand to me then I shall raise a fist to your entire organization” stated Draig as he swallowed the flesh, he would not waste a meal that was offered to him and he was sure he could find some excellent resources if he were to burn that place to the ground.

”Y-you dare” stuttered the suave man as the older Guilders drew their weapons at the hostile actions shown by Draig but those who had stood with Draig had been watching from the beginning and had seen the hostile actions of the Suave man.

”No the question is do you dare” stated Draig as he stood and let the pressure of his titles expand out and encompass those present along with his natural aura of power.

”Your entire Guild Association has sought trouble with since the day I was given this system, I am now strong enough to stand up for myself and I say no more. I will walk the streets as I used to, enjoy the simple pleasure in life I had previously. I will not be subjugated any longer and if you still have those intentions then I say come and test your fate” announced Draig letting his intentions be known

The Guilders who had followed Draig stood behind weapons poised to defend shocking their former comrades.

The Guild Leaders stood abruptly to rally their subordinates but paused when they those they recognized standing behind Draig, this caused a stir among those that hadn't stood with Draig during the encounters with Zarra and the assistant teachers.

”It seems the table's have turned haven't they, you banned me from joining any of your Guilds for merely gaining a system just as all of you did. You abused your superior strength and isolated me but now that I have strength and have a backing do you dare to do so again” asked Draig as he too drew his weapon allowing for sparks of mana to leap from the tip menacingly.

”You agreed to those conditions” stated the rotund man

”No that was decided among you, I never had the decision presented to me but that changes now.” said Draig as he stared directly at the suave man who had yet to make a move

”Lord Zarra surely you aren't going to let this monster do as he pleases” said one of the other Guild Leaders

”I will get involved when things go too far, if you seek trouble with him then you will solve it yourself anything that happens because of it will be on your heads” stated Zarra as he watched the building situation with interest clear in his eyes

Draig then turned away from the Hall and made his exit his people following behind watching the surrounding Guilders warily.

”Lord what are we going to do now” asked Goeki with Osmond close behind

”Simple we will build our strength up and will gain a strangle hold over these Guilders and force them to submit to us” responded Draig as they marched through the streets gaining looks of awe from the civilians who recognized Draig from the lottery shown on the television months before.

It wasn't long before they appeared before the gates of the Farm. Staring at this wall that had been used to keep him from the world he almost felt a sense of fulfillment as he tore down the gate and allowed himself entry.

'My shackles will now become my shield' thought Draigas he began handing out orders
