Lucien pov

(This place doesn't have one stupid power orb thing?!)

We had just finished celebrating our victory and I had finished bringing the livable buildings out from the darkness. The reason I put them in there in the first place was to quicken the search for valuable thing's. I checked everything I made it look like their was a empty black spot in the middle of the fields that surrounded the village. Sure we got some weapons, armor and some beautiful looking jewelry, which I gave to Wendy, but not one orb like thing except for a few pearls.

After I brought out the living space from the darkness I turned to the human's hoping for answer's. But when I focused on them I gasped. It seems that when the human's entered the darkness their mind's separated from their body's. I brought forth one of the human's body's only to find it blank. Well not exactly blank it still had it's appearance, knowledge, and experience. What was missing was the human's personality. They were just ...empty. When I gave them a few orders, since the darkness might not have made them loyal, they followed each order to the letter without complaint. Seeing this I was relieved now that I know I can make them pawn's.

(I'll deal with their conscious personality's later.)

Then I analyzed their mind's. It seems the village has to be larger than this to have a orb and it's real name is power crystal. While it is shaped like a orb it glows beautifully like a crystal hence the name. But not all was lost, it seems that some high ranking wizard comes around the smaller village's looking for those with talent for magic. He also brings the power crystal but it seems he will appear in two weeks. When I discovered this I sighed happily

(At least I won't have to wait for month's till this guy show's up.)

I then ordered my army to go into the forest and make it disappear into the darkness. The reason for this was to get more numbers to serve under me. Also the wizard that show's up might be very powerful so I need number's to exhaust and trap him. After everyone left, except Wendy who I told to stay with me, I then turned to my next little problem: the human's personality's.

Of course they were still in the darkness when I asked them

Lucien: (Do you wish to serve under me or should I simply erase your very existence?)

I made it so the darkness wouldn't make them loyal so I could hear their honest answer's. The one's that said no, which were a few men, a couple of woman, and a child, I immediately erased everything about them except their body's of course. The one's that said yes were of the larger group and that female warrior was among them. I then looked through each of their memory's to see if they caused other's harm for no good reason. The one's I found innocent were mostly women and children and a few men. The one's that I found guilty would live through their worst fear's over and over before I erase them. One was a merchant that would go to poor town's that are suffering from disease or hunger and charge outrageous prices taking everything they had. The potions that were supposed to cure them were just water and the food would make them cough up blood.

His worst fear was losing all his money and having to be a beggar. Another guy was a guard who would rape woman saying if they didn't do as he asked he would arrest them for some made up crime. His worst fear was the woman he raped turn on him and torture him then be arrested and hang. The rest were a few murderer's and mostly thieve's. The murderer's did it for the simple reason's like jealousy, greed, or hatred. The thieves did it for the same reason's. After they went through their worst fear's I erased them. I then turned to the group that passed

Lucien: (Now, all of you have passed so I will tell you what your new destiny will be. Each of you will serve under me and help me rid this world of the human's and all that are involved with them. Which in simpler terms means YOU WILL HELP ME DESTROY THE WORLD!)

I let it sink in a little before I spoke again

Lucien: (Of course you have the choice to refuse but I will simply erase you.)

They were all frightened except one, it was the lady warrior. Her case was interesting her name was Trisha and she was a born slave. All her life her master's abused her but she refused to give in and hung on to her life. Then a war broke out between human's and being's known as demon's. Her master sent her to the front line's to fight them. But she was apparently a natural warrior and impressed many with her swordsmanship which caused her to earn her freedom. After the war she became a adventurer and traveled to different place's until she ended up here.

She spoke

Trisha: (Why should we help you out with this?)

Lucien: (Because you human's are greedy monster's that cause war's and don't give a shit about those less fortunate. When you want something you take it regardless of who get's hurt along the way. The entire human race needs to be annihilated before further damage is done too other species. Which will make this world better. You have to pay for your crimes. ...You don't have to say yes but if you refuse all I will erase are your personality's. Your body's will still serve me.)

Trisha: (Then what will happen to us if we help you?)

Lucien: (I can't guarantee this but if you help me you might be reborn into better life.)

Trisha: (Why can't you guarantee?)

Lucien: (Because it's not my choice! Now enough with the questions make your choice now!!)

A few did refuse so I erased them and I put the rest inside their own body's. Surprisingly Trisha was among them. And so they became one with the darkness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been one week since we took over the village and during that time more than half the forest has disappeared. The human's have joined the ranks and are settling in quite nicely. Every now and then my suffering would increase but I was able to calm down. Wendy and I had the biggest house to ourselves. We would sometimes have some fun in the bedroom which also helped me calm down.

(Just one more week.)

I was thinking by myself while everyone else was either training or in the forest. Than suddenly Trisha showed up a little red in the face

Trisha: (Lucien I have a favor to ask.)

Lucien: (Oh? What is it?)

Trisha: (W-will you marry me?)

Lucien: (WHAAA?)

It turns out that Trisha vowed to marry any man that beat's her in a fight. Though in the beginning she didn't really want to because of what I did to the village. Though apparently when I punished the one's that deserved it and didn't force any one to do anything. She saw me in a better light, though I don't know why. It seems she also understand's the pain the human's cause thanks to her time as a slave and want's to help me make this world better. She also pointed out how I don't treat my subordinate's like trash regardless of what they are.

???: (Nooo! I won't allow it!)

We both turned and saw Wendy standing a few feet away from us.

Wendy: (There is no way I will hand over Lucien to the like's of you!)

Trisha: (Oh? And what makes him your's.)

Wendy: (Well he is my master and...)

She turns red

Wendy: (we proved our love for each other.)

Trisha looks at me shocked for a few second's than looks at me with a red face and say's

Trisha: (Th-then I will do it to.)

Wendy is shocked hearing this.

Trisha: (Also to prove i'm serious i'm going to move in with you.)

Wendy: (Oh no your not!)

Trisha was serious and moved into the house with me and Wendy. Both of them keep arguing about who I should choose and who is sexier. Hearing all this I couldn't help but think

(Is this because of the darkness or not? ...Oh well let's deal with this growing headache first.)
