Some of the Dark Faction leaders didn't really know what happened that day, while others had more vivid memories that would be kept with them for as long as they could remember.
The devastating power that Murkel, the leader of the Erupting Fist Clan, and also Principal and head of the Dark Faction possessed. There were no complaints from any of the members, it was impossible for them to complain unless they were willing to give their life up for it.
So on that fateful day, at the abandoned temple, each of them bowed down on their knees and pledged loyalty to him. There were those that had done so with different things in mind.
Gavin had done it out of fear for his life, Crine had done it believing that a new wave was now going to lead the Dark Faction, that they would come out on top of everyone after such time had passed.
