Tahlia, Haman and Doran sat down to eat in one of Lucian's barbarian camps. It had been four days since the attack. Each had their own reason for betraying Thius and the Legionnaires. They ate, they drank, and they had fun with the brutes knowing that at the end of it all they would get what each sought after. They hadn't been to the camp Lucian was based in but each had spoken to him at some point. Doran had given Lucian information on where Cambia was located but regrettably Selena hadn't trusted him enough to put him in her inner circle. After the attack both Haman and Tahlia, joined Doran and spoke to Lucian shortly after. The three of them all had something Lucian could use and in return they would become his generals.
"Lucian what like ta speak ta ya three," said a brute as he approached. They looked up in surprise. Normally when Lucian came to the camp they knew about it just from the entrances he liked to make. "Come on now." Looking at one another the rose and then followed the brute so a coach that was waiting just outside the camp. He opened the door and motioned for them to enter. Tahlia, then Haman and lastly Doran got in and sat down across from a very pissed off Lucian.
"Isn't it a lovely morning," he asked in a rather calm voice.
"I guess it is," Doran answered unsure of where this was going.
"As promised I will make you my generals," Lucian started with a small sigh. "You are all battle ready because of either your lineage or from the Legionnaires. You will come with me to another camp to be fitted with armor and such things but then I must leave to attend to some business of mine. Your job for now is to sit wait and to make sure this Barbarian army of mine don't end up squashing each other over petty arguments. Is that clear," He asked looking at them with a brow raised. They all nodded small smiles creasing their face. The small power being bestowed upon them was what they aimed for and thrived off and soon there would be more to come.
Lucian stuck his hand out the coach window and knocked against the roof. Not long after the coach lurched forward. The ride was long and painfully silent. Lucian looked over his three new generals with a piercing gaze. Two of them were young but he knew Haman's father and knew of the military training he was given. Tahlia however, was a slight mystery. He knew she had almost the same military training as Haman but if she was adequate he did not know. Doran on the other hand had spent years as Shadow Hunter so of course Lucian knew he would do well within his army. But, why hadn't Selena trusted him enough to give him any vital information? He guessed in time he will find out all he needed to know.
They soon slowed down and Lucian figured that they had reached his destination, his main army camp. Thousands of brutes and others settled here awaiting instructions. They were the most fearsome and would make up his first lines of attack. He didn't settle here however. He needed enough privacy to extract as much information as possible from captives. The last thing he wanted was for someone to get in their head that they could go ahead and attack when they were not yet ready. Behold getting the information he wanted proved to take longer than her wanted but with the Shadow Legion base destroyed he had all the time he needed to crack the tall bitch he men had recently captured. Smiling at the thought of making the boy beg for his life put him in a good mood.
The coached opened up and Lucian stepped out first and stood tall. Walking ahead the other three followed him through the camp. People stopped and looked, some saluted and some joined his entourage. They came to a good sized tent and stepped inside. "You go and get armor for these three to match the rank of generals," Lucian said to a small boy as they entered. He quickly ran off leaving the four of them in the tent. A table was set in the middle of it with food and wine. "Please sit and eat. When the boy comes back he will help you give you each your armor and my men have already been informed of your status and will obey. I have but one rule for you to follow for now, well actually two. One, do not command anything ridiculous of my men and two, if you give a direct order that is necessary to follow and it is not followed, then punishment is death."
