Accepted Servitude And Aelorin's Request
Akun remained on his knees for some time, creating an awkward atmosphere around the dryad elders and tribe leaders. Worried glances were exchanged among them as they shared the peculiar moment with Akun.
Suddenly, Akun let out a sigh as he slowly ascended to his feet. He mumbled, "Guess there's nothing I can do about it now." Gritting his teeth briefly, he then calmed down. Turning to face the tribe leaders and elders, he spoke, "If you are going to pledge your loyalty to me, then you wouldn't mind if I were to measures to ensure you wouldn't betray me?"
Skalathar inquired, "What do you mean, young liege?"
Akun responded, "I wield a power that will allow me to put all of you under my absolute command. My orders will be absolute, and disobedience will result in punishment."
His words left the elders and tribe leaders wearing worried expressions, uncertain if they were willing to go that far.
