  Knowledge had returned to his room after a day's journey back from his nation. It took a day to get there and a day to get back to The Grand Elder Castle. Not to even mention he has to go back tomorrow as well. He spent the last 2 weeks and a half doing speeches, recruiting oni for another war, figuring out how his people were gonna transport the food they need from one realm to another, and still do his regular duties. Oh the headaches he would get. The youngest of the Grand Elders flopped into the bed without noticing Elder Havoc there on his polished rock window sill. The bed felt too nice to get up and bother about. Knowledge could just lay here, for the rest of the night. Not even gonna take his day clothes off. Nope, not even his God-metal armor. Right now, he just wanted to-  wait a second!
 

Knowledge immediately twisted around the bed to face the still Elder.  "Ahhh! Havoc... don't do that! You nearly gave me a.. a-a stroke."

  Havoc was crouched down on one knee while the other was close to his body. Both hands were on the staff. Bright red shot eyes locked on the one living thing in the room. A thin purple silk cloak hung on his shoulders. His God-metal chest plate was as black as him. The purple and gold glowing veins throughout the metal was the only thing glowing that didn't look menacing to Knowledge.

  "Knowledge.... young lad, you are just the one I'm looking for," Havoc smiled while turning his head to one side, slowly. Somewhat like those birds with the silent wings in the realm they're going to invade in 2 months.

  "What do you want? I'm busy enough as it is," Knowledge said. Trying to muster up some courage.

  Havoc slid down from the window like he was water on leaves. Dropping down to the ground one little leaf at a time. "Welllll, I know we've had some.... 'differences'   in the past, but I need you to do a little something for me."

  'Difference' was an understatement. When Knowledge was first appointed Grand Elder, all Havoc saw was a nuisance under a cloak. Whenever Knowledge was nearby, Havoc would do his best to scare the 'little boy' out of the room. It had gotten so bad, that Knowledge had to move away for 2 years to a lava lake just to feel safe. The reason Knowledge was a Grand Elder was because he made up a system to water fields of farms, to rotate the plants from one direction to another for sun, he practically saved the nation before he was 'Knowledge'. And Havoc basically believed that that was the cowered way.

  "And what will that be? Cause I have to get ba-"

  Havoc held a hand up to stop Knowledge in mid sentence. "I need to you to make something. Something that... will make the people feel, fear," Havoc said while making his way across the room. Knowledge slowly got up from the bed.

  "Are you gonna revile how we're gonna do this invasion, or have us continue what we're doing until further notice?"

  "Heh, you are soo smart, but you are soo oblivious to..... 'The big picture.' As I like to call it. But to answer your question, no I am not. The less you know, the less you can fuck this all up."

 Okay, so much for that. But where was he getting at? Knowledge knew it was gonna be horrible though. And 'The big picture'? What was that all about? Every instinct told him to run, but ignored it. And he knew he wasn't the only one with that feeling when in the same room as Havoc. It was like standing next to evil himself.

  "What do you mean? I got to get up soon and I really need some sleep."

  "I need you to re-make..... an old disease. A disease that hurts elemental masters not just physically, but also mentally," Havoc said while smiling
