Generals of Pandemonium
Right after the conference, we moved towards Diane’s tree for the award ceremony. All the monsters in Larm had been organised into their respective races and were standing in attention, while a few seats had been set up for the leaders of the sectors of Larm.
A stage was elevated before the group, with the monsters that contributed the most already standing in attention, waiting patiently for our arrival. If this were a human ceremony, there would have been a lot of formalities to get out of the way before getting to this part, but clearly these guys preferred to get straight to the point. I did not dislike this type of thinking.
Once the leaders sat down, I was forced to go up on stage to make an announcement.
“Uh, been a rough couple of weeks, huh?”, I spoke directly into the minds of everyone present. This method of communication was 100 times better than using a sound amplification tool. “At least, it wasn’t a coarse one… haha… ha.”
