The Mankeys all looked at Michael with confusion painted on their faces.
For them, water was even more precious than gold. People died in the desert just to get a few drops of water for their family.
But now, Michael wanted to give them all the water they needed. For free. Any person would be confused when someone wanted to give them a bar of pure gold without asking for anything in return.
"We will pay…for the water…with our lives…"
They thought that Michael was someone who simply had a large stock of water in reserve. They thought he was just one of those extremely fortunate beings who was able to witness rain and store it for themselves.
"Don't worry. I can have all the water I need," Michael said as he raised his hand and manifested a ball of water in his hand.
Upon seeing this, the yellow Mankeys prostrated themselves even deeper.
"Wizard!"
"Sorcery! Water-Bearer!"
"We become…slaves for…sorcerer…in exchange for water!"
