Chapter 24 - Bad News (1)

The bright light stopped shining and the children appeared inside the plaza of the village again. Rosch was still awake and he always tried to speak to Galia, but the last two minutes she didn't respond. Rosch was weak but he stood up, wanting to go to Galia, as Gargaschar stepped on the arena walking towards Rosch.

"You little shit killed my son. Now it is time for you to die.", Gargaschar screamed coming closer to Rosch.

Rosch looked around and didn't see his family. His eyes became crimson, his rage jumped to new highs. Rosch started to move faster as his body made snapping and cracking sounds. His body was at its limit, but he ignored it, as he accelerated suddenly extending his bone blades, four on every hand, as he jumped at Gargaschar.

Gargaschar looked surprised taking a step back, while his two guards walked in front of him, blocking Roschs attack.

As the blades and bone blades clashed a cutting and snapping sound was heard. One of the right bone blades broke of, it was the one that hit the horn of the ape, but Rosch's left bone blades were still sharp and almost not used against the horned ape, they cut through the left guard in an instant, separating his upper body from the lower body.

Everyone looked shocked, because Rosch muscles expanded, his aura becoming terrifying, as if he was ready to fight to his death. Right now, he was a cornered beast, who everyone knew are the most dangerous beings to fight.

"GIVE BACK MY FAMILY, OR TODAY, WE WILL GO AND MEET MASARATH.", Rosch growled with a raspy voice.

Rosch walked closer and closer to Gargaschar, who started to sweat profusely. He didn't think such a young being could pressure a grown Hobgoblin, who has seen his fair share of carnage, to such a degree. But he couldn't back down now, instead he stood tall, taking a step towards Rosch.

Both were ready, as a voice shouted from the podium.

"Everyone stop right now. Son, your family is safe. Gorker took them before anything bad could happen to them.", it was Randan looking down on all the others from the podium.

Rosch looked towards the podium and saw Gorker, who was the older pure blooded Hobgoblin, that was the judge on his fights. He looked charmingly and gentle. His shoulder-length black hair have streaks of grey and he has a scar on his left eye. His nose was small which isn't typical for Goblins. Behind him were Rosch's females and his mother. Gorker helped him again and Roschar still didn't know why.

His aura diminished and Rosch became the frail, half dead youngling again. Schajana saw him and dashed forward to heal him, but he gestured to her to look after Galia, first.

"W.. What happened to her. She is almost dead, I don't know if I can help her.", Schajana said, shocked that Galia was still alive. From behind came Lunara talking about having some healing herbs, which could help.

"Just save her life first, if you can then heal her spine, but her life has priority.", Rosch said still angry with himself, because he couldn't save her from harm.

"I will try my best. But I only learned what my mother thought me and that was mostly flesh wounds, bones are harder to heal if they get contacted wrongly, she will be crippled forever.", Schajana said completely unsure of how she will perform.

At the same time Gargaschar saw his chance, because Rosch calmed down.

" What's with my son. He killed him, I want revenge. ", Gargaschar shouted, seemingly angry at Randan.

"That was your own daughter, everyone saw it. We don't know what happened, but even if she was forced to do it, she should have just gotten the punishment from Rosch, like every female would do for her family. You know what, take her back. You are allowed to take care of a traitor yourself, who your daughter very likely is. ", Randan said, shocking Rosch and some others. What he meant was, I don't care about your son and take your broken daughter back, too.

Gargaschar was fuming with rage. He knew he couldn't say anything. They all saw how she killed him, but nobody knows what they said. The guard of Gargaschar went towards Galia intending to take her with them, as Rosch stepped in front of the guard.

"She is my sow, nobody touches her. ", Rosch said chillingly. The guard got scared almost wetting himself.

"Oi son, you have to at least give him that much. It wouldn't be fair.", Randan said a bit annoyed. He gave his verdict and it was ignored by his own son. His own tribesmen could think that Randan doesn't even have his own family under control.

"YOU SHUT UP, didn't you tell me, oh so proudly at the reward ceremony of the hunting competition, that a Goblin takes whatever he wants. I ordered her to kill that little shit, for trying to rape my Suz. So what do you want to do about it.", Rosch was angry, tired and hurt, because of that, he didn't think at all. He just answered by instinct.

Gargaschar started to smile. He thought everything was over, but now Rosch started to dig his own grave.

The crowed, too started to like it more and more. Three family heads clashing against each other isn't seen often, one of them even being the chief.

"Son, don't test my patience. Gargaschar has an entire family behind him, what do you have. How can you claim whoevers head you want and females without backing. You are young without even one Goblin under your rule, yet you try to claim everything you see. ", Randan said angered. Getting talked back to again in front of everyone angered him greatly.

" What do you want? ", that was Roschar's respond, simple and annoyed. He was tired and just wanted to leave.

The sudden sentence shocked Randan. He was angered and didn't think about other possibilities of how he could bind Rosch to the tribe. The three times he could ask help from Rosch wasn't much, but now he thought of something brilliant.

"You will stay as a family head in this tribe till you are completely grown-up.", Randan said having the biggest smile, he could give right now.

The normal Goblins didn't understand the meaning of such a weak wish. Being a family head was their dream. But the other family heads understood it instantly. Randan and Rosch had a bad relationship, no more like a relationship based of pure hatred.

Rosch just nodded looking darkly, while Gargaschar went away seemingly enraged.

"You got yourself a good warrior this time. Hope nothing bad happens to him." Gargaschar left those words for Randan, before leaving the plaza.

Rosch walked to his females, as he wanted to know how Galia was doing, but Rosch was called to Randan, before he could check on her. Lunara took all the females and went back to their cave. She knew every second counts and didn't want to wait.

"What do you want now?", Rosch said completely exhausted. He needed to rest, but somehow everything was against that.

"I see that you are tired, just listen, we are being attacked by Nightwalkers and everybody knows it was your fault for hurting one of them. But rest for now and let as talk when you are recuperate. I just wanted you to know that you have to slove that. ", Randan ordered Rosch.

Rosch didn't really know what happened afterwards, because everything became blurry.
