Bantioc Everlasting Life

As the army poured from the Capitol, the General approached the people.

"I am not here to enslave you, I am not here to slaughter you. I am here in terms of peace and harmony." He announced, facing the crowds amassed from their homes and their hideouts. The Arinos exchanged looks, chattering in silence as they all watched the Galivian soldiers set down their weapons and removed their helmets

"I am here to bring you Happiness, Joy, and above all, Love." He lowered his weapon as he watched the final soldier sheath his blade and unbuckled it from his waist.

"I am Kaulcifer Aurios, General of the 5th Cavalry Division of the Galivian Armed Forces. Before you, lies the man you once called Emperor, the man who has failed you. Accept me as your ruler, and you shall witness your nation prosper, grow, and above all, ascend." He reached towards the crowd, the soldiers taking their steps away, collecting their weapons and returning to their vehicles.

"I am Everlasting. I am Life. I will lead you, my fellow citizens of Bantioc, to Glory!" The crowd rose to applaud, some cheering to their newly crowned emperor.

A smile appeared on his face, the ends of his lips reaching his ears...

and several small, indistinguishable eyes peeling open.

"And you shall all serve me in due time...." He whispered, turning away from the mass to hide his face. "...in due time, you will all be a part of me."
