"It's All-seeing Eyes." Drew held up the object high. "In order to steal this, our second brother lost his life."

Upon hearing this term, the old man's breathing quickened. Seeing Drew's trembling hands, he rushed forward, worried that Drew might drop the object, and tried to take it.

A hand faster than his own snatched the cylinder away.

Monka, holding the small object, found it hard to believe. "Is this the All-seeing Eyes?"

It was because of this unassuming little thing that so many of their villages had been destroyed by Erik.

He fiddled with it, unsure how to use it, and looked at Drew for help. Drew, however, was in the midst of hugging Draven, both of them crying for their fallen second brother.

"Stop crying," the old man said, pulling them up and patting their backs. "The dead can't come back. The court has destroyed so many of our villages. Many of our brothers are gone. What we need to do now is get revenge for them."

He thought, 'So what if we are temporarily oppressed? As long as we endure, eventually, we could drive Erik away. One day, we would recover, and we would retake Nevaton and seize Kellingtown.

"You've done well this time. Your past mistakes can be erased. Bringing the All- seeing Eyes is a great achievement," the old man said with a kind smile. "And you've brought food. Tomorrow, let the young men from the tribe go hunting to celebrate your success."

Neither Monka nor the old man knew the origin of the All-seeing Eyes. They both imagined it to be a mysterious object, but neither could have known that there was more than one.

Monka believed he had found the greatest treasure in the world, so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, holding the object and studying it over and over.

The old man thought that with the court's army losing this tool, they would never easily track them again. He felt a weight lift from his chest and finally slept soundly.

*****

The next day, the village indeed held a feast.

All the important figures were present, all staring eagerly at the All-seeing Eyes that the great leader was clutching tightly, eager to touch or even just gaze at it.

Monka wasn't stingy. After three rounds of drinks, he waved his hand, allowing everyone to come and admire the treasure.

The vibe was lively, and no one noticed that one of Drew's group had slipped out and didn't return.

“Did I drink too much?" Someone rubbed their temples, resting their hand on their head, feeling their eyelids growing heavy. "I only had... three drinks."

Before they could finish, they collapsed onto the table.
