One person, a mask with a giant red eye covering their face and a cloak hood covering their hair, stepped forward. "General, what should we do when we get there?" they asked, their voice small from fear of the fake Elementals. "we capture the weak one. He will be easier to catch." The general said, hands behind his back as all the other Eyes set up camp. "yes sir." he ran away quickly. "his brother was easy to catch as well."
