The Prison Yard

The prison was going berserk, all the guards were dead. The Sector A prisoners had escaped into Sector B and Sector C. Finally the horde of prisoners made it outside. Deothanos stood alone to greet them.

"I set you free," He informed them. "I have a task for all of you and if you don't agree I'll either put you back into prison or simply kill you."

One of the inmates appeared ready to challenge his command and charged. He reached Deothanos but was instantly lifted by the throat and, with a single arm, Deothanos snapped his neck.

"Anyone else wish to challenge me?" He shouted. No one stepped forward.

"Then bow and swear you'll follow me, Deothanos, even unto death!" Deothanos smirked. "Or I'll kill you right now."

The entire horde bowed and spoke in unison, "We swear to obey Deothanos unto death!"

Many in the group did not speak up and Deothanos knew this and looked at the group, "If anyone next to you did not speak the words, bring them forth so we can kill them."

Many died but even more swore to obey him.
