4 Poison (1/2)

Lucas was observing the surroundings with a bored face, as lookout, his job was to make sure that nobody approaches the camp without been noticed. Although he didn't look very strong thanks to his previous training in the army he was skilled at his job.

”Hey Jack, how long until our shift ends, this is so boring”

”Lucas you better focus on the job, if something happens and the Captain find that it was your fault, you will end up like that kid from the mercenary group that we kill” Says a middle-aged man with a muscle figure and a scarred face, sitting about 10 meters away on top of a tree.

James' face immediately shows fear when the fate of the boy was mentioned and starts to look at his surroundings with attention.

”Come on, I am just kidding, besides it doesn't matter if someone comes, with the Capitan here even magic creatures can just run.”

Jack and Lucas are ex-soldier that due to their habits, they took any opportunity to steal and **** during battles were expulsed from the army and end up like bandits, due to their previous training the Captain give them the job of being the lookouts for the camp. Although they were talking to each other they were constantly assessing the surroundings.

”Anyway speaking of the boy, is he still alive”

”He was alive the last time I saw him after all the Captain won't let him go easy after he made him bleed”

”I must say that was impressive, so young a yet so skilled, although it was just a shallow wound he still cut him, well he is doom anyway, who told him to hurt the Captain” Say Lucas indifferently

Lucas was going back to lazily looking his surroundings when he felt something approaching him from the back, he was startled than anyone could have come so close to him and not having notice, but still, as an ex-soldier and a bandit he was used to be in life and death situations so he immediately reached for his sword.

But before he could even take it out a heavy punch landed on the back of his head knocking him out.

....

When Lucas finally wakes up he realizes that he was tied to a tree and together with him was Jack who had wake up just now as well, before he could talk to his partner and try to figure out the situation, someone speaks to them.

”Good you are both awake, I have some questions, as long as you answer them this will not need to get ugly”.

Lucas saw the person it was speaking, he was a young man with a strong body a handsome face. Although he was scared at the beginning, the years of living in danger make him calm down and start to think out a way out of this situation.

´This person is strong and I definitely can't defeat him, but he es very young and I should be able to intimidate him´

If Zatiel could hear his thoughts he would find it hilarious, a mortal human trying to frighten a demon, it should be the first time that happens.

Just as Lucas was about to try and threaten Zatiel, Jack spoke first.

”Listen up you little brat you better release us immediately and cut off a limb as an apology or we will show you how hell looks like, we have more than 100 brothers and they will hunt you down and take their sweet time with a pretty boy like you if something happens to us”.

Lucas never stops looking at Zatiel so he saw the coldness in his eyes as he hears Jack threat, he was about to talk and try to calm the situation when Zatiel looks at him. He becomes so scared that didn't dare to speak.

”Which one do you want to me to cut off?”

”Wha.. what”
