Careless Gnomes

"There's no need to do all these right now. You're all here and saw what the kid did. From this, you can tell that we can quicken this thing's growth."  A man who looked to be in his forties said. He was the other one who was in the Eighth stage of the Sovereign Plane present. 

"Hmm, what are you implying?" The lady asked. She was the only lady present, but she could be said to be the most dangerous. 

"We should all take out a share of treasures to feed it. Once it's fully developed, it belongs to anyone who has the ability." The man said. 

The others thought about it and nodded. This was well within the rules in such a situation. 

"What about those little guys who are watching on the side?" Old Light asked. 

"Either you come out to help out, or die." The Old man said softly, but his words spread across the entire place.
