Using him against me.

LANCE

At some point my consciousness is drifting from here and there. I felt my Dad's arms hauled me off my seat. My stomach is still painful. I just want it to end. And drifting off offers the kind of relief I need. 

Yet, not enough. 

There is shuffling next to me. A set of unsettled footprints pacing back and forth to the wooden floor. I heard hissed whispers. A man standing behind the glowing light of crystal orb. 

"Where are the Vojaci? The boss is coming and he needs Five to be sent to him immediately." The gruff voice sounds Lista at the same time not. Lista speak in a soft, gentle voice. Not merciless like him. 

"The Ranker Elders are putting a good fight and left the Boss in slightly damaged state. He's arrival is delayed don't worry. We still have time. You managed to seal Five's blessing?" 

"Yes, I made him drink the blood of that Twylyth woman. He's perfectly under her control now."
