Rebellion of Caribous Kingdom

Sabrina wakes up because she can't sleep tonight. Eldaro had talked to her about spy training tomorrow. The changeling decides to go outside to relax. When they are just going outside of the underground city, she sees Ox is setting traps around the base.

The changeling feels weird and asks, "What are you doing here? I thought you would sleep."

Ox turns to her, "oh, the changeling that always walk with the human," the blue minotaur rubs her head, "Sorry, I don't think we introduce each other yet,"

"My name is Sabrina," The changeling sits down, " Please remember that, Ox."

"Sorry," the minotaur finishes to set the traps, "I'm kind of easy to forget.'

"Anyway, what are you doing here?" Sabrina takes a rag and starts cleaning her boomerang, " I thought you were asleep."

Ox sighs, "Actually, I haven't slept for 40 years," Sabrina stops her cleaning and turns to the minotaur. Ox waves her hands, " What? I'm not lying. You can ask my soldiers to confirm that."

"Then how the hell are you even alive and talking to me?" Sabrina shakes her body, "are you... a ghost?"

"Hey, that's rude," Ox boops the changeling's nose, "There, a ghost doesn't even do physics, right?"

"If you can't sleep, where did you get your stamina to do things?" Retorts Sabrina, "I am doubting that you are a golem right now."

"I am not a GOLEM," yells Ox as the blue minotaur sits down, "Since I was young, I can't even sleep for a second. About the stamina...," Ox rubs her head, "I don't know actually, because I always feel good even when I don't sleep."

"Wow," Sabrina grins, "bet that your future lover will be sad when he discovers this superpower,"

Ox retorts, "That's not superpower. That's a curse."

"Alright, alright," Sabrina walks on the mountain and sees Agrou city is still light. The creatures inside are still working. Sabrina huffs, "What a beautiful city!"

"Shame that the city is covered by lust and fluid," Ox steps beside the changeling, "and I see a changeling can't do the shapeshifting spell."

"Look like you are smarter than you look," Sabrina smiles, "Tomorrow, I will train the spy."

Ox folds her arms and leans on the tree, "And how can you be sure that the 'anti mind-controlling' spell will work? It's made off rune spell and stuff, not even the most magic advanced country like Equestria can do that?"

"If you don't believe that, you can send a soldier and try ," Sabrina gives her a smirk, "this spell made by Black Mage, so I don't think it will fail."

"Who is Black Mage?" Ox tilts her head, "Is that a unicorn?"

"More than you think," Sabrina starts walking inside as the blue minotaur is confused.

Many couples are standing in a large area. The soldiers surround the area to guard them and give them food and water to wait. The old man goes out of the room and yawns to make him more conscious. He is shocked when seeing around 50 couples sitting here as Trevor is checking them.

Eldaro walks to Trevor and asks, "why are there so many?"

"I don't know," the caribou points at the board, "I just write something on the board and many creatures come here to try."

Eldaro looks at the board and sees it is written in a text, 'need a couple to do a mission'. The Old man pokes to the board, "why did you do this board? It will recruit the wrong type of spy."

"But that is the fastest way to bring volunteers," Trevor points at couples, " not everyone will do this type of mission, right?"

"Oh really," Eldaro stepped on the stage to announce everyone. When he is stepping on the stage, many creatures pay attention to him and murmur about him. The old man coughs a little bit and everyone is silent. Eldaro starts to talk, "all right, everyone reads that board, right? I will introduce myself," then the old man sighs, "my name is Elder and I am the leader of this training project. I will answer your question first before telling you about this project."

Everyone looks at each other and they are not sure about this. One of them asks, "So, what will we train in this project,"

Eldaro answers, "you will train about agility, hiding identity, situation analysis and many things related to a spy," one of the guards brings him water as the old man drinks it, "anything else?"

Another griffin asks, "so, is this danger?"

"Danger than you think," Eldaro leans on the chair, "you will spy on the city of Atlas. If you fail, you will be nothing more but a sex toy of king Dainn." Everyone gulps as the old man continues, "and when you fail, you will face fate worse than death. That's all," Edlaro cracks his neck, "Oh, you are free to go if this mission will not fit you. No one forces you here."

Many creatures start to leave the area. Eldaro sighs in relief while Trevor walks to the old man and asks, "What are you doing? You are just scaring them off."

"Nothing, just telling the truth," Eldaro snaps his finger to order soldier a chair. When the guard puts the chair next to Eldaro, Trevor sits next to the old man. Eldaro continues, "This is recruiting spies, not recruiting soldiers. I need a fearless one."

"So..." Trevor looks back to the candidate and sees only 10 creatures are still there. The caribou announces, "Anyone who is not a couple. Please leave," no candidates are leaving. The caribou stands up, "all right, you all know that this is a way that you can't return. The last chance to turn back," again, no candidates leave. Eldaro nods as Trevor sighs, "All right, my guard will lead all of you to a room. Please follow him," the guards start leading the candidates to the room. Eldaro stands up and follows them while Trevor goes to the market to solve the problem there.

Ox drags Sabrina and a soldier comes to a place. When Sabrina asks why she is doing this but the minotaur ignores her. When they are go to an area, Ox releases them and turns back, then she points at the zone, "Here is the zone that under the mind - controlling spell,"

"How can you be sure about that?" Sabrina points at her , "Bet that you used to want to build there but you can't right."

"After many experiments of failed building," Ox shakes her head, "I drag you here to see if you can cast that spell or not."

"Oh," Sabrina raises her hoof, "Can you give me something like a necklace or ring? I will show that to you."

"Okay," Ox pulls out the ring from her finger and gives it to the changeling, "There, show me the spell."

"All right," Sabrina takes the ring by her left hoof and holds it tight, then she closes her eyes. Ox and her soldier are waiting to see what she is doing. Suddenly, a blue air is covered around the ring as the blue minotaur is surprised. After the blue aura fades, Sabrina gives it to the minotaur as she is confused. Looking at the ring, she sees that many weird symbols are printed on it. The changeling smiles, "wear it and go to the zone."

Ox gives it to the soldier. The soldier wears it and starts walking to the mind - controlling zone. After 15 minutes, the soldier is asked about his name, his girlfriend as he answers that he doesn't have any girlfriend. After one hour, Ox asks the same question to the soldier as the soldier answers the same. When Ox asks about his feelings, he just says he feels tired when staying in one place for a long time. Sabrina walks inside to take a chair.

After three hour, Ox asks the soldier again and receives the same result. Now, the minotaur believes the spell as Sabrina just walks away. Ox follows her, "You must introduce the mage for me. He will be useful for this."

"Nah, the mage is female," Sabrian turns to the minotaur, "and she is not the type to help everyone."

"I see," Ox smiles, "Anyway, can you do this to our soldiers? We got a lot of rings to do that."

"Then I need some place to enhance and rest. I am not invincible," Sabrina opens the door, "Just get as many rings as you can. I will enhance it without problem."

"Sure," Ox smiles, "You will have those in... I don't know, but I'm sure that it will be no more than three days."

"I'll wait," Sabrina heads to the market and stretches her body.

Outside the gate of Agrou city, there are many creatures lined up with some paper. They have to go through a secure room with some guards outside to go inside the city. "Paper, please," demands a blue caribou as a griffin shows his paper. Looks at the paper, he starts to ask, "What's reason you come here?"

"Trespassing," answers the griffin, "I just want to come to the capital to have a business with friends,"

The blue caribou looks at the papers, "Any slaves," the griffin gives him some papers. After checking the paper, the blue caribou pushes the green stamp, then gives them back, "Cause no trouble." The griffin smiles and he walks out of the room.

The blue caribou knocks the door to call the next one. This time is an brown unicorn with armor. The unicorn gives the caribou his paper as the blue caribou asks, "Can I know why you are here? I am doing good."

"Just checking, inspector Sky," the unicorn looked around, "You are doing good, right?"

"I'm working for this heaven kingdom and King Dainn," Sky presses the green stamp, "I have to do good because I have some slaves to take care of, general Ground Sword."

Sky gives him back the paper. The unicorn nods as he starts walking out. Sky knocks the door to call the next creature. When the door is opened, a black figure is coming inside. He starts feeling weird and starts to ask, "Paper, please," the black figure gives him a black paper. Sky opens the black paper and sees it has many symbols inside. The caribou looks closer and the symbols are shining. The blue caribou is going to throw it away but it is too late, the symbols go into the blue caribou forehead as Sky faints.

After a while, Sky wakes up and looks at his own hand, then he feels have a headache, "where am I?" The caribou looks around and remembers everything he did when he was being controlled. The raping, the killing of the female creature. Sky steps back and breathes heavily, "Wha...what have I done?" He looks at the black figure, "Who are you?"

The figure points at the paper as Sky starts working slowly and takes the paper to open it.

'Have you got a headache? Good. I need you to stay calm and focus. You are now the inspector of Agrou city that is ruled by king Dainn. He is the one who controls you all the time. Now, I need you to focus and help us to take down this tyrant king. If you don't help, we can't make the king pay what he did in the past.'

The blue caribou looks around the paper as he doesn't believe what he just read. He looks at the black figure and asks, "Who are you?" The figure takes the arm and gives him a silent sight. Sky sighs, "I... I don't know what to do now."

The black figure just silent for a while, then answers, "After work, go home and rest," The black figure raises the arm, "You will need a lot of rest. Now, give me that paper," Sky gives him as the black figure starts walking away, "We will meet again. Soon."

The blue caribou looks at his forehooves as he is not feeling so good. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Sky knocks the door to call the next creature. A caribou walks inside the door as Sky starts to ask, "Paper, please."
