Bay continues telling Mab the secret story of Cubes and Kings: "You dare refuse my command?!" Savante asked with a hiss. Loam put his hand to his forehead and ignored her. King Loam was angry that the Ancient One, Savante Tas, had just appeared in his private office and demanded he betray his friend, King Olar of the North. She demanded war! "Then you and all people of the Plenty will be punished!!" Savante screamed in rage. "We will take what is yours and make merchandise of it. You will feel the pain of losing what is precious to you!" Savante Tas made a circular motion with her dark gloved hand and a glowing cube appeared in her palm. "What is that?" Loam asked. "It is the ultimate weapon to stop world Peace!" Savante answered with a vicious grin. "We call it an Ownership Cube!" Savante Tas reached out with her black gloved hands and shoved the cube into King Loam's face! It floated in mid air in front of him, glowing and forming strange lines in the outline of it's shape. His blue eyes widened in horror as the glowing cube seemed to stare into his very soul! "Get it away from me!" Loam screamed. "It's alive! Alive!" "Yes, you can feel it invading your very being, can't you?!" Savante said gleefully. She reached out and pushed Loam onto his knees as the glowing cube pulsated and sparked. Loam screamed in pain as his very mind and inner-most thoughts were penetrated and invaded by the power of the cube! Savante Tas held her head high and laughed viciously. "What a funny face you make in your agony!" Savante chuckled. "It's so precious! I will enjoy sharing this moment of triumph with the other ancients!" Loam tried to resist with all his strength, but it was hopeless! His entire being was now under the control of the glowing Ownership Cube! "Everything you are; your thoughts, memories and dreams are being taken by the cube! I will make merchandise of them and sell your private dreams to others! " Savante Tas said. "What is left will be my slave. War, death and destruction will reign on your planet! The energy from the chaos will feed my fellow ancients like never before" Savante grabbed the back of Loam's head and pushed his face closer to the cube. "This is the end of freedom for you and your people" Savante yelled. "Everything precious to you will be mine!" TO BE CONTINUED!
