The Dishevelled guards rushed toward atlas tent, the feet sinking into the mud ground.
One of them muttered,
"Why the Tribe elder having a fuss about atlas?!".
The other one looked down and answered.
"Who knows, maybe he done something to anger the masters".
They finally arrived, they didn't knock but head stright in threw the blinds.
"Atlas!, the elders are calling for you!".
One said respectfully as he didn't know the importance of such man and why the elders why calling for him at night.
Atlas yawned as he said.
"It finally time!" He stretched as he got off the bed.
He got some water am swished in mouth and spit out as he started heading out with the guards.
The moved together but there was silence between them.
They finally arrived at the elder tent.
And the guards led the way in as they said.
"Tribe leader, we have brought atlas".
The quickly step out as they finished.
The small candle still flickered and the shadows of the elders was printed on the walls.
"Atlas, you finally arrived!"
The tribe leader gestured to seat at the end of the table.
Atlas sat down feeling the pressure of the elders. Fang stared intently his yes basically burning into atlas.
"So your the bless?!"
Wang uttered. He already knew it was atlas but the aura around him changed from before.
Atlas straighten his back, and took and deep breath.
"Yes, it seem you have been informed prior to my arrival"
"Yes, we know some things… maybe you can inform us on more?"
Wang replied. Fang also followed behind him.
"Yes…are you working with the humans. Or even something else?!".
"Wait, don't just assume fang, let let atlas explain…"
The tribe elder said as he nodded towards
Atlas.
Atlas looked around the room, some elders tapped on the table while others stared intently at atlas. But non seem to show too much emotion.
At started.
"While 3 days ago… I was officially beaten by the so called masters!"
The elder nodded and fang even scoffed as atlas stared him but he return to attention.
" as I was unconscious i was floating in cold void. Theres no sound or sight. But suddenly a light appeared and said I quote,
"Atlas, the chosen. Your race has suffered for far too long under the human race. My chosen has awakened, and I will bless you on your journey.'"
'It the exact thing he said yesterday'
The tribe leader thought. As he gained a little more trust toward atlas story.
"God…looked at me in pity… I felt so I ashame at that moment, 'god the almighty' at least tust what he called himself. Continued and said "atlas, your tribe is blessed, as all of my creation. So set forth and set things on the right path!".
The elder eyes shined, even tho the trust was not fully there but it was more unbelievable now.
Atlas smirked on the inside.
'Wow am a great actor!!'
He continued with stright face.
"God gave me a spell, [fireball] but no other as the moment… but look?!"
He pointed at his arm. The once mangled hand was perfect normal.
"God fully healed it!"
"Wow, at least the masters— I mean human's were right about there being one god!"
An elder by the name singh said as looked at atlas hand. The tribe used to believe in multiple gods before the enslavement.
"It truly recovered, but this could all be a ploy of the human tho!, and Why would god choose you and not me or the tribe leader, what makes you special. "
Wang said, even tho before he was on the side of atlas but has to show face as an elder.
"Yes… I could be one of the human forces, but this a chance to free ourself, to honour our ancestors to finally set things right— I rather die the follow the humans. the tribe is slowly dying anyways every year we're less then before why not just fight back!!. I don't why god choose me? Am am not god!!"
The tribe leader nodded. And all the elders followed right after, even fang— even with his suspicions nodded with the others.
"Well siad, I as the tribe leader might be butting the tribe in danger but I still want tell you my friend… that I decide to repell!!!!"
Wang followed,
"Me too".
Fang closed his eyes for a long moment.
"I still don't trust him."
He opened them again.
"But I trust the tribe leader."
All the elder followed.
"Me too!" Sing followed.
"It seem it decide, we shall repel. Consolidate the man of the tribe by tomorrow they shall be no more supervisors"
Atlas nodded. Finally these old folk took the bait.
"I also have other things given to be by god but it shall be set after the death of the supervisors".
"There's more!" The tribe leader as he stood form his seat.
"Yes but in due time!"
An air of mystery surrounded atlas as he relaxed on the seat,all the elders felt their backs tingle.
'This guy seem pretty formidable'.
But just as the Meeting was coming an end a man rushed in panting.
"Tribe elder, the supervisors are looking for fang, they said they expected him to work threw the night. They said "with their dirty eyes it was not a problem for them".
Fang panicked but he immediately gained confidence as he siad.
"This a prime opportunity to get rid off them!".
"Yes, this is actually a good opportunity… these evil supervisors have killed our Children with their magic, burning them alive." Atlas said his face getting uglier.
The tribe leader face wrinkled. As the others looked down in shame.
"This! Is the time to set thing right!, these supervisor have magic, singh and Leon you are the strongest in the village you sneak attack them."
The tribe leader instructed as he eyes want to the corner.
A man in the corner nodded and singh also nodded. Leon didn't speak This whole time but he was the The undisputed strongest fighter. Sometimes hunting some monsters for the villages with his trusty pickaxe.
The tribe leader turn towards fang.
"Fang you draw them out and distract them so Leon and singh can finished them.
"Now fang, sing and Leon go, sire…atlas follow them."
The tribe leader said his voice getting smaller by the end.
Atlas was surprise but he nodded as they step out.
