The demons roared as their master entered their realm. He was most displeased with them. They had followed the orders of another and not him.

He was all shadow, but his red eyes pierced through the gloom. He glared at them all and they fell silent.

After serving another, they still knew who their master was. But he would still have to discipline them to keep them all in line. He would start with the biggest and strongest. Once they fell, everyone else would follow.

Such is the way for those who wield power. For those who wish to keep that power.
