Chapter 7 - 5. Look Around

"I don't like your eyes." Ozar turned around. "I can't read you, I can't tell if you are lying or telling the truth. You are an unknown, I don't like unknowns."

Zane stayed quiet.

"I won't kill you though, I'm not to sure those two could take seeing another friend dead. I'm sorry about that by the way."

"Honestly I didn't know Ben till today. Doesn't matter if he's dead or who killed him, you, me someone would have eventually."

"Cold hearted." Ozar turned and faced Zane again. "Look around, what do you think?"

Zane looked around. "It's a big operation, I can't help but wonder for what?"

"Well it starts with my family history. My mother is a Elf, she was r**** by a Orc war party. My mother was of nobility, so once they found she was pregnant with an abomination she was cast out on the streets." Ozar clenched his fist and let out his killing intent . "My mother didn't abandon me, I didn't do anything to deserve hate. So we moved to a human village.... It wasn't any better, they gave us a small home and my mother worked at a Inn. The humans treated me like a monster and my mother like a slave. The other kids beat me up and threw rocks at me, my mother was grouped and beaten by men and women alike. But through it all my mother still loved me she gave me an Nobel Elf education, food, and shelter." He turned around and raised his arms up "And eventually I snapped."

Zane looked at him curiously and felt a strange pressure that almost made him fall to his knees. Zane wasn't the only person feeling it, the whole camp was feeling it most of the people no matter the races fell to the ground leaving some weak and unconscious. Zane looked at the now floating man who had changed, his clothes which was a black and green robe was pure white, his pale white skin was now a pure black, his once green eyes also a white while his black hair turned white.

Ozar looked at Zane in surprise. "Interesting, you barely waiver under my power." Ozar walked towards him stretching out his hand and touched Zane's shoulder causing him to kneel and grunt in pain. "That's better." Ozar gave a light slap to Zane's face

'I WANT!!!' The voice of Nix ordered almost leaving Zane's mouth.

The pain in his shoulder was burning but also cold, same with the slight touch on his face. His body started to feel hot and cold at the same time while his emotions wanted to run wild.

Ozar walked behind Zane and spoke again. "When I snapped my body lit up like a furnace and with a hint of ice cold water. All my negative emotions ran wild, causing me to black out....." Ozar let out a sigh. "I slaughtered that human village. The next day I awoke to what I did, I killed everyone even....even my mother. In my rage and sadness I vaporized that village leaving nothing. I was 15 then...." Ozar looked off into nothing "10 years later I was able to control my new found abilities fully but still discovering new abilities. I new I couldn't fight both the Elfs and Humans by myself, but the Orcs where far simple. Orcs like other race rely on tradition, making them weak even with their only the strong survive attitude. Orcs didn't have a king, just divided clans with chiefs. I killed all the chiefs of the biggest clans and united them and made a small army making it easy to absorb the smaller clans. We have over 800,000 thousand warriors but we aren't enough. I started hunting and killing mages, while looking through their libraries I found many weapons." Ozar looked at Zane and noticed something.

Zane was about to lose control over his emotions when Ozar grabbed his head and slammed him into the ground.

"HOW DID YOU DO IT?!!" Ozar yelled pulling Zanes arm up, bringing the attention of his men. "WHO DID IT?!!" Ozar looked furiously at everyone around. "HOW DID YOU REMOVE THE SALVE MARK?!!!" Ozar looked to his warden. "Warden Valborn!"

The warden walked up "Yez my king?"

"Those two girls he is with bring them!!" Ozar ordered.

After his warden left Ozar put another (¥) salve mark on Zane and ordered two of his men to hold him. Zane body started to heat up and cool down even more, while his emotions tried breaking through.

'Come kid why fight it?' Nix voice spoke in his head again. 'LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!!'

Zane almost spoke again with Nix words. While the warden brought Monica and Anna both had sacred and worried faces. Ozar walked in front of the girls and held his hands to their throats.

"Tell me!" Ozar glared at Zane

"I don't know."

"TELL ME OR THEY DIE!!!" Ozar ordered.

"I don't know!" Zane answered.

Ozar made his hands glow a black and white energy. "3...2....." started counting down.

"PLEASE TELL HIM!!" Anna cried out

As Ozar said one Zanes emotions broke out his frustrated voice yelled out. "I DON'T KNOW, IF I DID I WOULD TELL YOU!....Just leave them out of this!"

"Hahahhah, finally some emotions. What is it anger... and frustration?" Ozar powered down and walked towards Zane "I won't kill them yet, I'll use them as a last resort." Ozar knead Zane in the stomach making him cough up some blood. "I will break you and get the truth." Ozar looked at Valborn. "Tie him up in the center of the camp don't feed nor give him water, and every day give him 5 lashes. If anyone tries helping him kill them in front of him!"

Zane felt the strange heat and cold energy vanish only leaving him with his emotions winding through his head. He was lost in thought "What was that?" he thought to himself. "And where did it go?"

Anna was crying and shaking. Monica was fearful of what would happen next. As she watched as the Orcs drag a lost in thought Zane she whispered his name "Zane."

A few minutes later the Orcs hammered two large wooden post into the ground and tied Zanes left and right arms to each post. All the surroundings slave watched on in fear, and Cross let out a deep sigh.

After Zane was secure the Orcs formed a circle of 16 guards and Valborn and Ozar. Everyone was quiet, till Ozar spoke up.

"Let's begin!"
