'I want…' Breaking limit of his body made extreme strain on his body and he lost consciousness. 

A few hours later, village chief house. Aron is laying on one of the beds in guest's room, and Anna is sitting next to him. His eyelids started to twitch and his eyes opened, unfamiliar surroundings caused him feeling of uneasiness. 

"Where am I?" There was risk of being caught by enemies, so he decided to ask question and observe Anna's reaction.

"Calm down. You are in our house. Thank you…IF not you all of us would die." Anna wasn't stupid, and she knew that those people didn't care about their fate. They were taken only to be food for some evil beast.

"You should thank your son. I wouldn't come here if not his sudden action." Joe was one of his people, even if he was only slave. Simple a.s.sistance could bring him even more loyal people, and another thing was he hated religions and cults the most. Those snake freaks couldn't be allowed to plant roots in near villages or problem would rise to another level.

"What happened afterwards? I was exhausted after battle with this freak…" Aron literally didn't know what they did when he pa.s.sed out. 

"All saved by you carried you here. YOU ARE HERO! I feel ashamed, still many people blame you for collapse of mines. Entire income of a village was cut off for very long time…" It was really problematic issue, reclaiming the mines will take long time and they won't make it before the winter.

'I saved those people…' He predicted that those people would react this way. They limited sight and intelligence made them unreasonable. 

"I don't care Anna. I didn't save them for glory or fame. I did it for one of my people, Joe. You are his mother. If you weren't there I wouldn't even get there in time…" Aron didn't want to play hero, and Anna was good woman and recruiting her was worth trying.

"I need someone like you Anna. I control Clay Village and Amber Village. I want to start a new era! Era without fear of winter! Era without constant hunger! Era… I think you understand my vision. I want you to control the Copperhead now. It's the best time for you to do it…" His words awoke suppressed emotions, she always wanted to lead the village to greatness. The only problem was her gender, and she wasn't a man and people couldn't accept a woman as village chief.

"You don't understand! I am woman! They won't let me be chief…" There were some tears in her eyes, and it was painful for her to talk about those matters.

"Let me handle it. There is Joe. He will take position of the chiefs, and you will be his advisor. His brain and soul!" It was an ingenious idea to make Joe a puppet for her, she was smart and more capable for this position.

"Are you out of your mind! This idea is…actually good." Joe was her son and she wanted the best for him, still he wasn't suited to lead. 

"I want you to work for me. Do you wish to become one of my people? One of the progenitors of a new world?" His words reignited her ambition, however there was feeling of one-time opportunity. She felt that village wont' survive a crisis without his a.s.sistance. 

"I will do anything. The village cannot survive with current lead…" Anna agreed to his offer, and Aron got notification.

[Anna wishes to become your servant. Do you accept her?]

'Yes.' There was change in expression of Anna, becoming a servant must be odd feeling.

"What about Jeremy? He controls most of the village." Anna didn't know about death of Jeremy, and boy didn't want to reveal his deed to her yet.

"Don't worry about him. We will leave Copperhead for a time being. We will come back with solution for the crisis! Be a.s.sured, I won't abaddon people with ability to think…" Aron explained the plan, and they will come back after village starts suffer from lack of money and give ultimatum to them. 

'Be with me or die!' Short minded people didn't deserve get more chances because of their inability to reason correctly. 

"You are quite brutal…Those people are not…" She wanted to argue about her village, but Aron interrupted her and said.

"You are wrong. What I do is not evil or injustice. Those people will lead village to its fall sooner or later. Giving them a chance is already show of good will. If I was a man of justice! I would f.u.c.king took my weapon and took back lives from those ungrateful people. Another thing is law of strength! I could go and take this village with only myself. Killing all greedy pigs out there! I warn you if you doubt me once more. You will lose all credibility and I will search for other people for your position. I don't care about your sentiments… Being emotional will make you weak leader. I don't need weak leader. I need strong and reliable subordinate…" Anna felt ashamed of her own words, even her father repeated sentence that leaders don't lead with hearts but their minds. 

"Pack your stuff. We are leaving tomorrow." White-haired planned to purify his bloodline before going back to Amber Village. 

Knock! Knock! There was someone pounding into doors.

"Anna! Jeremy's relatives came! They are demanding explanation! Jeremy didn't come back…" Most of the lost people came back, yet Jeremy didn't return. In case of other lost for good, other kidnapees saw death bodies. Aron got rid of Jeremy's body, so none was able to see his corpse in cave. 

"It's YOU! WHERE IS JEREMY! YOU HAD CONFLICT WITH HIM! YOU PLANNED IT TOGETHER!" They barged into room, while screaming. 

"Ohh. You are family of this deranged moron. His actions proved his mental disability… I think he escaped to the city… I doubt his ability to be able to get real job… His face wasn't bad, maybe some fetis.h.i.+st will want his services." Aron didn't care about those people opinions, his body was almost recovered and ordinary people weren't challenge for him.

"YOU! I WON'T LET THIS MATTER SLIDE!" It was pretty funny for Aron, ambus.h.i.+ng hero of many people for the personal grudge. His enemies shared one common thing, they didn't end well. 

"I want to see. Anna! Inform the village about connections of Jeremy and his family to Blackwind Bandits!" They didn't predict this to get out, still they believed that he has no proofs.

"WAKE UP, KID! You think they will belive you! OUTSIDER?" This wasn't simple matter, and villagers wouldn't' believe his words as outsider. 

"Hahaaha! First, I am no longer outsider! I am savior of many! The second, Filip will be perfect witness! Don't you think?" The fear and regret appeared on their faces; many villagers carried a grudge against the Blackwind Bandits. 

"Don't do it! We apologize! We don't know what got into us. You need to understand… Jeremy is lost…" They tried to find excuse for their rude behavior, and they understood that going against him was mistake. Collapsed mines won't be cleared soon, and fighting hero will make them lose influence.

"I hope it won't repeat itself. Filip really wants to visit a village and talk about his origins!" There was no reason to hold back, so he scared them a little before allowing them to leave.
