Chapter 3 - True colour of the eyes

" We have been living among humans since the beginning." We are not different from humans at first. We feast on animals like you but after tasting the first meat from human flesh we evolved."

" See we can even shift back and forth between human form and our true form."

" We are called Thamerns "

The wolf-like creature shakes his body and slowly returns back to his human form.

" At first the food is plenty because no one cares if someone dies or disappears. Wars break out between nations and the battlefields were filled with many human corpses which become feeding ground for us.But things get complicated after humans become civilized. There are less people dying and it is hard to cover up our trace after we kill."

" Countries make peace and barely fight so less feeding ground for us"

"Well but now here. Because of the effort of some of our high rankers, a war is happening between Naga and Bleu country. Now it is time for us to feast upon humans freely"

" You guys make the war happen??"

Min clinches his teeth.

" I noticed you guys are fighting not for the country but for something else but I can't tell why that time"

"You not only have good eyes but also have a good instinct boy. Yes we are not fighting for the country. Some soldiers might be really fighting for the country but we are not. We infiltrate the military ,disguise as humans and fighting to feast on humans. "

"The humans from higher up also want the war to happen because they want to feast on other things too. Therefore, they are disguising themselves as a patriot like we disguise as humans"

" What ?? The higher ups aren't protecting the country??"" Then why are they fighting the war?" "What things do they want to feast on?"

" Well boy, of course it's power and wealth, something that every human wanted since the beginning of the time" "Our kinds fight to feast on humans when the higher up humans want the control over land and lower people like you. Some even know that we are monsters but they don't care as long as we don't feast on them and provide power and wealth for them. After all your lives were not as valuable as the land which provides gold and recourse to them."

Min cannot understand. He hasn't heard the land he was living in has gold or other resources.

He looked at the captain in the confused face.

"There is a gold mine under your village and a few other villages. But the government doesn't allow the higher ups for mining because that will affect the environment and people in the villages will protest. If that happens the government needs to clear the case in order to maintain public order and their power"

" So high rankers from our kind infiltrate the government of both countries ,create conflict and make a war between two countries . As a result a war broke out . Then, we feast on humans during the battlefield disguise as soldiers fighting for the country and the higher up humans get the chance to freely control over the land under the name of war. They can mine the gold freely and more importantly those gold will flow into their pockets directly. They will also profit from selling weapons to both countries and the governments from both sides have to neglect the fact that they were mining because they needed their supply of weapons to win the war."

" Upon the surface this is a war between two countries. Soldiers are fighting to protect countries .But deep inside, this war is a dining table for us and the higher up humans to feast upon you humans and your land.

Min surprises to find out that this war was just a result of some higher up wanting to dig up the gold under their village. Nothing about protecting countries and their people. They even let the monsters devour the people. The people are nothing worth in the eyes of higher ups.Yet the people from the village ,even his sister thinks the soldiers are protecting the country and the people. They support soldiers and don't blame and even forgive them for accidentally bombing the village but in reality those soldiers are just monsters wanting to eat them and the higher ups are just greedy guys who don't even care about the lives of their people.

" You are all monsters .You guys are monsters by nature but those higher ups are monsters by greed. We lost our families and land because some wealthy men want more gold in their pockets!!"

"I will avenge you all"

"Ha ha you are brave.But unfortunately your life ends now"

"Die young boy "

The captain shifts back to monster form and swings his claws across the neck of Min but suddenly stops mid air as the noise coming outside the tent distracts him.

" Die you monsters! Die you all"

A young lady holding a shining blade jumped into the tent and attacked the colour eye soldiers.

The soldiers quickly transform into animals like monsters and attack back . Some even have strange animal parts on their bodies like wings with protruding bone spikes and elephant trunks with sharp claws at the tip. However ,the young lady shows no fear and smiles .

"Kill them all don't let those filthy monsters escape"

A group of people wearing strange clothes and holding shinning blades like the young lady follow her inside the tent and start attacking the monsters. A fierce battle breaks out between two groups.
