chapter 109: prisoner of war

With the sudden appearance of the once called handsome Jack, everyone including lotus within the crowd came to a complete halt as an overwhelming pressure started to crush them the closer they got to this handsome man.

His aura was overwhelming as it hasn't even been released yet and it even made someone like Maria tremble all the way down to her core.

This was no simple man, he must be that of a legend of some sorts to be able to stun everyone like this, or atleast everyone below a cultivation base of stage 6, either way he's too strong.

Lotus's blades of darkness fluctuated and they started turning back into his normal arms and it seemed the three captives were about to be saved by someone else.

But something was wrong, something was very wrong. For some reason lotus was weary of handsome Jack and he wanted to attack him.

He felt like a cat on the hunt trying to take down its own species just for the fact that they didn't like em.

Lotus felt this way to a few races due to them being the natural an enemy of his, and also sometimes becuase his incubus race simply didn't like them.

And right now lotus's spidey-senses were going off the chain as this man was one of those races he disliked.

Lotus's black nails suddenly sharpened into little claws, but then he felt the Maria grab and hold his hand as she was visibly trembling and she looked at that very man in terror.

As this happened she mumbled one word under her breath and it made him throw away his racial dislikes for that man and instead he took care of her.

"Murderer" was what she said and as she was trembling lotus held her hand tightly and then moved closer to Maria even tho he felt paralyzed by the man's aura he resisted out of use of his own will to get to her.

Meanwhile as this happened a woman with a short sword leaped down from a building and went to handsome Jack.

"Dumbass your our leader, your not supposed to go in first, that's what we have soldier's for!" a woman with purple like skin, bat like wings, and a tail with a little spiked heart said going next to him and pointing her blade at the visible threat.

"It's easier to just do it my self baby, it's best to have less casualties than needed~" he said casually with his voice highly relaxed.

"Idiot who's going to lead us if you're that casualty" she said and he simply replied with "your my second in command lil-mama, and I'm trusting everything to you my lil succubus~" he said as his grate-swords then lit up in a navy-blue glow and it seemed he was infusing a large amount of qi-essence into his weapon.

"Jack your an idiot, I'm not going to let you die so don't even think of leaving anything to me" "shh~ Moxie the party's about to begin~" he said and she sighed as she then did the same as him but she released qi-strands into the earth and around the crowd of people setting traps so no one could come in or leave.

"You damn heretics how dare you step foot back in this town, you only came here to be send back to hell" the priest said and then all the guards got in fighting stance as they did what handsome Jack did and they infused their qi-essence to strengthen their weapons.

"Ring of snakes baby" he sent out qi strands Into the ground and then earth snakes came out of the ground and then circled the crowd of visibly terrified civilians "human lives don't matter that much, so how about this, let us take these three and leave or all of you flower picking munchkins will be picked up and buried" he said as around sixty plus people were now hostages.

"Devil we would gladly give our lives in the name our lords to cleans and purify all you evils" he said as he lifted up a sick and then used it like a staff hitting the ground below him and then a bight light suddenly came from the top "all mother blind the evil before me, all mothers light, holy shine!" he casted a mericle of blinding light which made the three Demon's there get completely blinded.

Lotus, the captive, and the succubus Moxie, plus some of the archers with Demonic origin.

The priest used one of his miracles but after a minute of blinding light, almost everyone could see a dead priest filled with arrows and then a few dead knights who were killed by handsome Jack "hiss~ Sorry baby but I don't need to see, to kill you all~" he said as he had his eyes closed and he used his sense to fight them.

Opening his eyes he saw that Moxie was stunned because of that miracle, was at it's strongest in holy grounds and when used against Demon's. He suddenly felt some of the knights charge at them to cut em down.

But as they came in contact with him he simply blocked with his grate-sword and then sent out qi-strands to make more earth snakes but the knights were already very experienced cultivators and they dodged as the snakes poped out of the ground and tried binding them with their bites.

They easily cut them down with a singe swing of their long swords but that gave him enough time to throw in a hundred essence and a colossal earth snake which looked so real came from out of behind him destroying part of buildings in the prosses.

As the off-brand Orochimaru made his giant snake he grabbed moxie by the waist throwing her into a panic since she couldn't see, he then jumped onto a building with a few of his archers and he then watched as his colossal snake attacked the knights.

A few knight's died as they were simply too weak and or newly recruited, but as for the three experts of the stage 6, they dodged and scaled the giant reptilian meanwhile one of them, the fourth expert stood their ground and single handedly stoped it's giant tail as he enhanced himself with his qi.

[Man Of Steel] he used as his body became steel and he was simply a very dense person...Litterally.

The other scaled the giant snake and as they ran up its back it tried to shake them off and two of the knights jumped tens of meters into the air as the knight in the middle simply used a gravity type manipulation and it was as if he was simply unfazed by its movement.

As he got to the back of it's head he jumped and stabbed his long sword deep Into it's head and the other two came down but they descending with their long swords stabbed into the snake slashing down on it as they moved down.

Getting to the end of its earthy fleash they actually fell down but landed on their feet, meanwhile the one of stabbed it's head saw that the snake started to crumble and as chunks of earth started falling down and the earth wasen't flexible anymore as it was like a crumbling statue.

He took this opretunity to run down the snakes back before it fell to pieces. He ran down the direction to handsome Jack and companions.

Without needing an order the archers noticed what he was doing and they took aim and fired.

Some infused qi with their arrows and made it flaming, acid, poisonous, sparky, or orange as it became a quick spreaded bomb.

They fired but the knight was agile and had a good reflex as he hit the three fire and acid arrows, dodged the poison and electric and then sprinted and jump rolled to avoid the wide spread explosion which he was almost cought in but then jumped off which as that bombing made the snake come down in all.

The four experts stood tall together and as they looked at eachother they nodded in unison and then charged the rebels.

"I the prince of snakes and head of the huphtus clan call apon the blessing bestowed by a elder god, the first light bringer Jonathan lend me your strength" he said out loud for all to hear as he helt his hand up.

The knights recoiled in shock as he said those words, after all how would a rebel and heretic call open one of the holist beings... no he called upon thee holiest being in existence, the first race to be born after the darknesses, the deities called the light-bringer, litterally what the church is based around and who all human's pray to and fight for...well most all of the officials atleast.

The kights got angry as he bluffed, but then as they dashed forward, a while flame erupted put of his hand.

They didn't see it though and continued their assault, but then as they got a few meters from him hey felt weary as danger was near and then they suddenly looked up to see bolts of holy white coming down from the sky and parting a few clouds in their way.

Their eyes jolted open and they couldn't belive their eyes as they felt something so pure come at them.

They tried dodged it by jumping away but as they did handsome Jack jumped in and started fighting them which they clashed with as he got there.

As the holy bolts came down and sparks of fighting appeared as they were to fast to see, the bolts reached the ground where it hit many civilians and all four experts/knights.

"Holy. . .Shit" the dense guard said as he was the last one to live, but then before he could be like yeah I survived, he looked down and saw that he had a giant hole in his chest and the bolt was piercing right throught him keeping him up and dieing.

But before he could even look up his head fell from his body as Moxie appeared before him and finished him off for daring to survive her sexy Jack's ultimate move.

"Thanks my lord" Jack said putting his hands together to make a little prayer before looking over at a steamed moxie who was mad about being blinded for a while.

Over half of the people on that area were dead, both knight and civilians which meant there were around fifty left.

He looked at them as half were still in the trap and terrified and he used something which no one outside of his care needs to see or know.

He raised his hand and the archers took aim as they aimed at the cround of people in his and moxie's trap.

But then as he did that, he looked at them and noticed a person in a large hood like disguise moving his hand to touch the bolt of light which hit no one.

He thought that person was a fool and he was going to get extremely hurt and or die from touching such bolt.

Moxie noticed it and she chucled as well as she was hoping to see a mindless Idiot human meet his fate for such curiosity as she walked next to Jack.

But then their eyes opened wide as they saw his bare hand touch the bolt and feel it. He was unaffected?

He then suddenly heard a voice inside of his head and he gestured to the archers to stand down.

Meanwhile as lotus touched the holy light he came across the most randomest thought 'this looks tasty, is if edible???' why he thought this at this specific time was unknown?

Jack and Moxie walked over twards the disguise figure and lotus just ignored everything as he was focused on this bolt infront of him that had made him go into some sort of trans as he was very curious.

Maria was unable to move like everyone else as she was litterally paralyzed and trembling because of the two's terrifying presence infrint of them.

Lotus's darkness stealthily emerged in his palm and he touched the light, the bolt slowly became black where the darkness touched and it was getting devoured. But then lotus felt his hood be pulled down and he retracted his darkness while also taking that pinch of light which his darkness touched.

He looked up and he saw Jack and Moxie next to him "completely unfazed huh? how unusual" he said looking at lotus.

But then as he looked his eyes glimmers "baby God damn he's cute~ No wonder he hid his appearance under something like this, but someone like handsome Jack looks way better~ ain't that right~" he said smoothly and lotus looked at him confused as he kinda forgot what he was going on since he was too curious about the bolt of light.

this is lotus first darkness experience meeting light from his mortal-enemy's and he kinda forgot anything outside of his view existed untill he was touched.

But then as he looked back at the bolt and then back to the two next to him his nails sharpened and he balled his hand up, digging his nails into his flesh making himself bleed.

His gentle green eyes suddenly became sharp and then he swiped at Jack which Jack simply took a step back dodging it.

Or so he thought.

A cut appeared on his face as lotus insincivly used his own blood as a weapon, but he didn't corrupt Jack, his blood shifted like an extension of his body and hit him like a flexible blade with a sharp edge.

Lotus hissed at Jack and Jack grinned as this human boy intrigued him, but then he felt something drip down from his cheek and he touched it which made his face turn sour and Moxie looked at him noticing his red blood drip down.

she immedatly turned hostile.

She dissapeared and apeared again as her fist hit lotus and then sent him flying around two dozen meters away to crash into a brick building.

"You motherfucker! how dare you make our boss bleed!" she was extremely pissed off but then he put his hand out telling her to stop, and then he pointed at where lotus was and he was currently stuck in a brick wall and knocked out from her, all out heavy punch.

"Cuff him up and bag him, we're taking that human back with us" handsome Jack said and she looked at him stupidly "he deserves death for striking you! why do you want to recruit him!?" she yelled but then he laughed.

Looking at her he grinned "who said I was recruiting him, that boy needs to repent for hurting my beautiful face, now hurry up and get someone to collect our new human" he said and she was still really pissed off wanting to murder lotus, but she complied out of respect for her leader.

But then someone tapped handsome Jack's arm and it was that vampire girl which he saved "thank you for saving us, if you'd like I'll carry the boy, but I'm also hungry so I won't take much... If you mind? " she said as she was blushing and she looked up at to see Jack's face.

"Just don't kill the little bastered" he said and she smiled "okay~" she then left to collect the body and both of them signaled for their troops to take aim at the people again.

without hesitation they fires arrows at the crowd of people. Killing almost eveyone there.

But as arrows flew througjt the air and started hitting the basically frozen people, there was Maria and on her neck were lotus left his mark suddenly throbbed and the mark of the Ito's crest appeared releasing darkness which surrounded and shielded her.

The darkness moved on its own as it felt this area was too dangerous so it transpoted her instantly to somewhere safe.

When she got there she was finally free and she gasped for air as being like that before was very suffocating.

She was paniced as she thought about Jack more and the shit he had done a few years ago which made her completely lose her shit not realizing lotus was captured as she didn't even know what the hell was happening to herself.

* * * * *

Meanwhile as this all happened Sarah lost her connection with lotus which meant he was asleep or unconscious and she felt a grate discomfort from being cut off like that without any warning.

But then again she was with Mia and having a good time so she didn't care that much.

"That's when you shift all you weight into the movement and throw a solid punch without taking any recoiled" she said teaching Sarah about unarmed combat since this and that happened and they ended up spending alot more time with eachother than ever and she wanted to teach Rin/Sarah how to fight properly and show em a few techniques.

For the past few days Sarah had been spending alot more time with Mia except for earlier that day were she skiped class and went to the tavern to due time and lessen the dept by litterally fucking four people.

She was very weirded out when she had first fucked them, becuase she was just getting used to how the male body worked.

Sarah had also been avoiding Olivia this entire time because she knew that senstive nose of her's was bound to fuck up their plan.

Sarah was unable to fight elane that Saturday due to not wanting to fucking explode into a red miasma becuase elane is too strong and Sarah lost her cryomancer abilities. So neko fought her as they were with eachother for that entire day.

Anita was ghosted by Sarah.

Sarah went on a date with the human girl zila who was the one who originally taught him ice magic and they just had a normal date and noting really happened except Sarah was flirty but not on purpose and she also made zila feel good about herself and thus she made zila fall for lotus and her even more.

Also she tried getting her power back, but whenever she tried to she took recoil damage due to not having an ice crystal core in lotus's mana pool. all he had inside of his mana pool was his crystal sitting in the center of his mana pool, his Demon crystal which defined his entire being and should contain his soul but it dosen't, nothing contained his soul, the crystals color was crimson but for some off reason it was connected to some sorts of mini shine made from darkness which sat ontop of the mana pools liquid core mana...the shine must of been what allowed louts to freely switch from darkness to incubus, hope it doesn't get destroyed.

Sally actaully came to visit that Sunday after their date and they had fun as they went out to the park with yuu who still wasen't getting along with Sarah, also Yuna came along.

Meanwhile Mia couldn't control her lust anymore due to Sarah sleeping in the same bed as her. Mia's feelings overheated her and she began to masterbate as it was just too strong because Sarah had lotus scent which covered her entire bed.

But she needs more, she needed his or Jenny's, touch, but she then remembered her favorite wolf toy was home while the other's were all out, she then had anal sex with yuri again, meanwhile neko slept cause she was tired and no one remembered she was there.

Meanwhile as the other's played, Sarah and Sally took their time to chat and talk with another, but then Sally looked left and then right before wispering something dirty into Sarah's ears making her/him blush.

Sarah hadn't blushed this hard since she told lotus she loved him and Sally fell hard for this incubus and when she was around him she couldnt help but wanting to be naughty.

She wispered something again and asked if Sarah would like to do something with her and she slightly nodded her head.

Sarah snuck off with Sally when the other two weren't looking and then she blew Sarah making her cum before she leaned against a tree and presented her ass to her so Sarah could pound her ass into submission.

Sally was very hesitant on losing her virginity due to being a time lord and she wanted to wait untill marriage for somthing like that to be done. She was old fashion as for the past four-hundread years she's been too invested in her responsibilities to care about love or just anything else other than her job. Also she made a promis to her father that she would have to wait untill marriage for that and as long as she waited untill then, she had his blessing to date lotus/Rin.

But then after those events and Sarah bonded with Sally in lotus's place, she then just mainly kept up with spending time with Mia.

She'd occasionally see Jenny around there, but she was always with kylee and they were actually taking a brake from sex since Jenny didn't want to get addicted to overfeeding or just having too much essence in a short period of time.

So Sarah just let her bond with her and she went to her older sister to spend time with, meanwhile the others just did their own thing.

Also ignoring Anita made her get jealous and she went back to occasionally stalking Sarah while they were walking to and or in general at school.

Also Elaine felt the same way as anita as Sarah didn't really pay attention to any of lotus's and her partners as she just wanted to be around her elder sister Mia.

Meanwhile Olivia took it the worst of all of them as she noticed he didn't answer any of her calls or text which he always answered or responded to when he had the time, and she couldn't ever seem to see him at school either...She thought it might of been because she had been too busy that entire week, but then as she asked if he was free this weekend, but he ghosted her and even when she tried getting his attention it never seemed to work out as she had thought, now she thought he was upset at her since he usually never did this, especially to her.

***

At rose-mary Ms.Emily was practicing her rune crafting due to encouragement from yuki and she wanted to make better of herself and increase her understanding and knowledge of the art. But something was wrong and she needed assistance.

Meanwhile a certain someone with an indifferent expression was nowere to seen.

And then at the red light district of shadow fall, Lilith was being of service to Hunter which has been staying around there to collect Info and gain a shot at finding this Harlem fellow which seemed to be the hardest to locate at this moment, and also he could have fun clearly as he had Lilith satisfy him and she didn't complain since he payed for a long session and she occasionally came which she was happy about.

also he found Rin aka Sarah and they seemed be not active much lately so he just left em be for now.

***The Next Day***

It's the 9th day of October, a Tuesday

Waking up he found himself in a dark area which his eyes slowly adjusted to, but it was still really dark and he had no night vision so all he could see was the little light which reflected off of the stone.

So instead if relying on his eyes he planed on sending a pulse of darkness throught the ground to see better we he was marking this area as his temporary Doman.

But as he tried using his darkness he was unable to, he looked at his hands and he then felt that he was boun and cuffed as a Cain held him to the ground so he couldn't get more than a few meters away from the wall.

He also felt a pain in his neck which really hurt and he felt wosey and uneasy as he saw that he didn't have alot of HP left as well as blood.

[Blood Bank]

10ml of vampire blood magically came out from his four fangs and he recovered 100HP and MP as well as a bit of hunger.

[HP: 128/2,730]

[MP: 291/2,770]

[DM: 12/50 ]

He looked at himself and his face was solemn as he took all of this well...But then he lost his shot as he smashed the chain and cuffs on him against the ground and tried pulling it off of him as he cursed like a salor in his original tounge.

After having his non powered tantrum for a half hour he sat back in the ground as he felt around fifty mana leave his body.

He them knew he needed to do something about the whole losing mana or else he'd soon be fucked as he didn't know who his enemy was or not these days and so he desided to make a wise decision for once

He accepted his system reward, but he asked for only two pills instead of the ten for now and it worked.

Two humanoid transformation pills apeared in his hand and he ate both if them giving him a day to look and feel human while a bone tail and horned tattoo reappeared in his body sealing away his features.

But besides that his mana stoped getting drained and but he was still hungry and he felt weird like his organs were actually serving a purpose for once.

But as he felt like a human for once, his eye twitched and a hazy black mist arose around him as a complete murderous intent came out from within him.

"¿I'm going to kill and devour everyone's flesh and blood¿" he said to himself as his eyes started looking crazed and a Cresent smile came onto him face and he started creepily laughing.

Not long after he saw a light like a person holding a torch came and as soon as he saw the flames and light rendering in his vision a bit of darkness from under him came out as he kicked the ground and dashed at whoever it was.

But then as he got near the a walls of this cell? the chains stoped him but in a result the wall cracked a bit.

Lotus became more of a feral demon sealed in a humanoid body as being in an area like this made his state if mind shatter and go wild.

The person with the torch jumped as they heard all of this and once they looked in the prison cell lotus was trapt on they could only see a pair of crimson red eyes glar at them like a predator ready to rip out their throat.

He sayed the torch around hoping whatever in the cage wouldn't come at them but then they saw it was the new prisoner and jumped jumped as a visible black aura started appearing on them and it scared the living shit out of the guy.

He was a beastkin and he was a mighty lion at that, but in the face of the crimson eyed monster which they all called a human infront of him, he ran with his tail in-between his legs.

'Kill! Kill! Kill! ! !' a voice yelled and other's followed 'make them pay!' 'blood flesh blood flesh!' 'corrupt all, make them beg for mercy' voices screamed and bis state of mind shattered even more.

'You know the incantation, use it! punish all and show them what it means to face a ture demon!' 'self destruct! use that forbidden technique and just kill yourself and everyone with you!' they kept yelling.

'Ignore them, conquer all! dominate eveything' 'murder! murder! murder!' 'so much food around here, just for the taking, get out and start you feast' the voices kept pulling up and he started to lose his mind.

'So this is what happens to you when there are angelic talisman's placed everywhere, lotus calm down or you'll let the angels secret teqniqe will make you go psycho' a voice said as it was clearer than all the others jumbling around in there.

Lotus snarled as he looked around and his darkness started building up and the angel's talisman's started to shine bright in the entire prison area he was in, and then they heard the screams of many human prisoners also captured here.

'¿Jöasphas paramzelin kafura kaakuuulara sentaia posrephes¿' the voice said and lotus immediately calmed down and the bright lught began fading turning it all back into a dark place.

His eyes went back to normal as well and he just sat down crossing his legs "¿ňentie parzūleminum fuza kakarot halartuk zum¿i" he said in response '¿taru tumi!¿' the voiced yelled at him in a scolding manner.

"¿Sora sora¿" he said as his voice surned soft and it was as if he was apologizing 'ozang tamaru tempest' it said as with melancholic tone and lotus tried cheering the voice up by talking to it more.

'¿How about a lullaby? I like your voice' the voice said and lotus smiled as he felt slightly embarrassed "¿fine but only this once¿" he said as he was feeling bashful about it.

[Demonic lullaby]

He began singing his incubus lullaby sending a wave of his miasma throught the prison place they were at as well as reseting himself to what he once was again.

This was the true meaning of a demonic purification seeing as the voices all went silent within his own head and he was feeling better as well as the human prisoners began going silent has his humming/melody echoed throught the dark.

***

Walking down the stairs visibly shacking the lion led his superiors down underground and into the dungeons were they kept the captured human's who weren't servants of anyone.

But then as they got to the deepest of the dungeon handsome Jack stoped "do you hear that" he said suspiciously as he pulled out a dagger and then walked first infront of moxie and the lion.

But then as he walked infront of a certain cell he pulled out a light crystal and the area lit up with all of the light crystals on the walls turning on in unison to his.

Something was up, usually when he came and turned on the lights the human's would plead to be set free, but right now they all just sat there with a calm and relaxed expression and some slept.

He then got down to where he heard echoing originated from and he came upon a cell where their was a small boy with both his hands cuffed and he was chained up. Handsome jack was angry with him so he denied him alot of what the others got.

Moxie turned to the lion and looked at him confused "I swear to the heavens that he had bloody red eyes and a dark atmosphere around him as he yelled that he was going to flay me like a fish" he overexadurated.

But them moxie frowned at him as she looked to lotus who she wanted to kill very badly and then looked back to the lion.

"I guess we sould execute him then" she said turning to Jack with a smile but he then looked at her with his arms crossed "the angel's magic had been encrypted into this place to show the nature all of all creatures alike, and he has seven high grade seals due to that... Ability" he said hinting that something in his wording had been maybe too much of a bluff.

"The kids humming with a smile on his face, probably the son of a bard and dark kight or heretic practitioner, Hayden are you sure you saw right" Jack didn't like not hearing both sides of the story and right now he knew someone was false or maybe even something was happening around here that he didn't know about.

"Well maybe it's not completely true but I swear he's like a demon sent strait from hell.... No offense moxie. . .But I swear he's bad news like seriously bad...Evil shit like curses and voodoo" he said as he couldn't hold back what he thought.

"Impossible, I think you should stop offending the witches and demons here, they love their praks, so go, I don't have time for anything not serious" Jack said but then moxie stoped them.

"He might of told something inaccurate but to make sure we should kill him, just like you said, he used might be a hertic practitioner of some sorts seeing as he hurt you before, so let's torture and then kill him, actually I'll do in myself if you want to" she said draing her long sword but then he stoped her and she sighed as she was fustraited from not being able to kill the one she wanted dead most in this world right now.

"Leave him be, I have plans for him, but first he needs to work like the rest of the slaves, he's nothing special here" he said and then hit a cell infront of lotus.

"Teach him the roaps around here gramps, do it and you can have another long nap" he said before walking away but then looking back at lotus who gave off a weird vibe.

"Okay Jackie" the old man with dark skin and yellow eyes said as he looked up at the young man humming infont of him "strange, why'd they take a kid... I guess it'd better than killing him like they did to the others" he said to himself as be closed his eyes and waited for the cell doors to be unlocked to they could go do manual labor.

***

A few hours passed and their cells were unlocked by Demon's who didn't look like it, but we're actually powerful.

But once they got to lotus's cage they remembered their orders and only took off the chain keeping him attached to the wall.

They didnt understand why he had seals on him or why they kept him cuffed but they didn't care, it was Jack's orders and they just laughed at him mocking him even tho they clearly saw him as no threat which they thought Jack was overestimating this kid or was jealous of his looks.

Lotus had a look of disgust as he looked at the Demon's mocking him and then he just sighed as he looked away ignoring their existence.

He wasent even going to bother with Demon's, it was too tireing, so he just walked out of the cell like the others.

Lotus looked around as he was confused and they all started going in diffrent directions except for where there were two beastkins guarding a stairway up.

He then felt a tap on his sholder and as he looked to see who it was and he saw an old man who was in his 80s and taller than him.

The old man told him to follow him as he was told to tell him what to do. Basically they had the same jobs and he told lotus to work in the mines and also clean the stabels with him,

which he found no joy in, plus some other time consuming activities which the man did with ease despite his old age.

Lotus tried to see the positive in this... he couldn't find any and he was extremely hungry which made him want to Bury his fangs into someone and or toy with someone.

He looked at the old man who looked back at him while they were cleaning dinning hall and then lotus smiled as sweetly confusing the man but also making him know the kid showed no hostility twards him.

"Good man" he simply said and then looked around the room to find no one but them. lotus's stomach growled and he sighed as he was hungry and he wasen't going to eat the old man

But then as they contined to work quietly the old man was surprised by lotus since he just went with the flow of everything, usually when captured the new people would throw a fit, complain, cry, try and escape, fight the guards, be completely defiant and just...human.

But lotus just went with the flow of everything and he looked as if he was just completely calm, the old man got suspicious and started asking questions to lotus like name, brith of origin, and other stuff tring to get into his head and learn about this unknown phenomenon which was the boy infront of him.

But lotus answered with simple answers and it threw the old man off as he got nowhere with this.

They continued working and occasionally speaking as the old man asked a bit of him but he just compiled without saying anything extra.

But then as they were finished with the day and they were allowed to wonder around and talk with other prisoners of war, lotus saw a female human in the distance which made his hunger draw our more.

He got hungrier and he found his first target.
