Acolytes

Karl motioned for the acolytes to come forward with his empty hand, and then offered each of them one of the many Giant Strength rings that he had acquired.

"Do I want to know where you got so many of those?" Doctor Xander, better known as Skittles, asked.

"Probably not. But if you're doing the psych evaluations tomorrow, it might come up anyhow. Oh boy, do we have fun stories for you."

The doctor sighed, and the kids took the rings from Karl, holding them curiously, as they had no idea what such a crude metal band was supposed to be for.

Four of them were nearly identical, to the point Karl thought that they might be siblings with the same straight black hair, but there was one blonde girl in the group, and she was clearly the feral child of the group.

The first thing that she did when she got the giant ring was to bite it and then slide it over her hand like a bracelet.
