Intimidation

Chapter 8
"Hey you guys!" yelled a young boy at nothing. He had black hair, fair skin, and was wearing sunglasses "Open up!  I know you're in their!" Still silence. "Fine I'll just do it for you!" The boy took out an arm from his backpack and held it up in front of him. The arm had a black spiral design on it. A building immediately appeared in front of him.

"What are you calling me down here for Victor," said Jason.

"Someone found our guild hall," he answered.

"What?"

"That's impossible our guild hall is untraceable," said Mephiles.

"I know," said Jason.

"How'd you already know that there was an intruder?" asked Victor.

"I didn't."

"But you said-"

"Just take me to the prisoner."

The guild hall lacked any permanent holding locations. Instead he had been chained to a pillar in the forum of the hall. He was a young boy, with fair skin and black hair. He was dressed in red and black with black shoes, pants, and long-sleeved shirt, with red lines running along his entire outfit.

"Are the chains really necessary?" asked Jason.

"Remember the mage we sent on that assassination mission last week that never came back," said Victor.

"Yes."

"This kid showed up with his arm.  Not to mention anyone that approached him from the front became paralyzed with fear.  We had to sneak up behind him to finally bring him down."

Jason walked up to him. The boy looked up showing a very distinct feature of his. His eyes had black sclerae with red irises. An emotion Jason had not experienced in a while began to well up inside him: fear. His Demon Eyes automatically activated in self defense and the feeling passed.

"What is your name?" asked Jason.

"Alexander Doomkaiser," answered the boy.

"Why did you come here?"

"To find out why someone was sent to kill me."

The two stared at each other down for a while.

"Would you like to join a guild?" asked Jason.

''"What?" ''said Mephiles.

"It couldn't hurt," said Alexander.

"Would you like to join this guild?"

"What are you doing?"

"Then welcome to Black Void."

"Cool."

Jason turned to Victor. "Unchain him."

Victor unsheathed his sword, a red blade, and easily cut threw the two chains restraining Alexander.

"What do you think you're doing?" asked Mephiles.

"You said it yourself we bed new powerful mages," Jason replied "especially with three of our best out of commission for the next couple of days."

"Even so, this child?"

"Did you not feel it?  The fear his gaze can instill you with."

"I'm an Etherious, we don't feel fear."

"Nonsense fear is a primal instinct that everyone, human or not, feels."

"Well I thought you didn't feel anything."

"Who knows, maybe this boy can get me to start feeling again."
