While Blacksworth grapples in fear, they have imposed a citywide lockdown. The basic rules being ‘ no outing after sunset’, ‘don’t step outside alone’, kids and old stay indoors’ and yadda yadda yadda. A lockdown is doing more harm than good. While they stay indoors, my men move around freely in the city to prepare for the war.

In the meantime, I have formed allies with the Ox and the Bull Army as well, courtesy of Mr. Rhodes. These are my groundman. For the force up in the sky, I have got the ‘Golden Eagle Boys’ headed by Mr. Kyne. And in case the war goes into water, I have my ‘Orca Shark Rangers’ waiting for them.

Surprisingly, my boys have caught two little ‘batties’ the vampires who don’t suck blood. These Bats were fooling around in the bushes when my men caught them. Apparently bats also have ‘same-sex marriages’ .

Guards: Mr. Sam, we caught these two in the bushes. They belong to Blacksworth town.
Me: Why are you here ?
Guards while kicking the Bat: Answer him
Me: I am asking you, why did you bring them here ?
Guards: We caught them, so we thought we will present them to you.
Me: Present to me? Is this some kind of gift? Am I your girlfriend to be presented with some little goodies ?
Guards: Sorry Mr. Sam
Me: You two have sabotaged our work here by ‘presenting’ them here. We were supposed to announce ourselves to Blacksworth with a statement.
Guards: What should we do ?
Me: Kill ’Em! is what you should do!
Guards shoot them Dead with shots in the back of their heads.
Me: Now cut off their heads and hang them at the crossroads that lead to the catacombs.

I hold one of the guards by his neck and dig my nails into his chest and strike him dead.
Me: Someone had to pay for the mistake you two committed. This is the price. We have to balance things. Mistakes got to be paid. Life is to be given for every Life taken. Remembers the words by our forefathers ?

“A Life has to be given for every taken,
Action has to be taken for every word given,
Balance of the Universe is fragile.
Hence, for Every Good there’s an Evil”
