Chapter 41 - The first hunt of the year (1)

Walking through the western gate of the village, Rosch made his way to find the two elven females. Schajana's mother and his female cousin.

"My family told me that Silvana and Yvonna went to the west, more they couldn't find out. Good that I learned to track somebody down, while winter was raging outside. I got the clothes from my cousin, because there will be to many footprints at a village gate. Lecture one was to track somebody after only a short amount of time passed, which is done by footprints and other signs that show someone was just there like broken branches and so on. The second lecture was about tracking someone after days passed. It should be done by their sent. Since Yvonna went west two days ago I should take a sniff and follow her.", Rosch thought about the lectures he got from the hunting squad.

The Elves looked at Rosch weirdly. A young being sniffing on female clothes was just weird.

Goblin noses were amazingly good. They could sniff out corpses kilometer wide, since they were scavengers. They could eat anything, but meat was their favorite. Nowadays scavenging is being frowned upon by the Goblins of Rosch's tribe. It was a reminder of their weaker days.

Rosch smelled the same scent on the ground, he just sniffed on the clothes and dashed forward, disappearing into the woods. Rosch had trained it many times in those 4 months and followed the scent, as if it was a person. He could see a silhouette walking slowly in front of him, as if stalking somebody. The faster he went the faster that silhouette run. Sometimes the silhouette disappeared and Rosch had to stop and sniff around, but he instantly got back on the right way, sometimes even seeing older footprints of two humanoid beings walking behind each other.

"Silvana must have been on a rush. Her footprints look hurried, while Yvonna was walking leisurely.", Rosch thought while tracing their every moves. He was very fast, jumping from tree to tree without making a sound, as he stopped for a second.

"Weird. Am I being followed? They can hide pretty well even their presence, but after getting faster they got sloppier with hiding their presence. Let's see if they can keep up with me. ", Rosch started to smile after thinking for a bit.

Rosch accelerated quickly and dashed forward, without stopping anymore. He came across a camp, but didn't stay. It was full of Yvonna's scent. She must have stayed the night at this camp. Rosch was freaking fast closing the distance, where Yvonna made her camp, much faster than she ever could. She traveled for almost the entire day, even though she just walked, while he needed only 2 hours.

As Rosch went further he seemed to spot footprints that collided. The leisurely footprints of Yvonna met the hurried footprints of Silvana. And as they met, both started to hurry, it seemed.

Rosch was surprised. Silvana must have skills in tracking, too, because she followed the tracks without fail.

Rosch didn't stop racing the silhouette he saw in his inner mind almost catching up sometimes. And after a while he could hear two female voices.

"Go, Yvonna we have to go faster. If they catch us, we will be dead.", a golden haired and eyed beauty said. She was unbelievable beautiful and almost the spitting image of Schajana. She was a tad bigger than Schajana, around 1,85 meters and with her hair, that was made up into a bun she looked even bigger. She had glasses on and looked more mature than Schajana, but the biggest difference was that she had big breasts and bottom making her much more sexier. She had the aura of an scholar, which made her even sexier, if that was possible. That female was Silvana Sunshine, mother of Schajana. She still looked unbelievable kind even though she tried to look sternly at Yvonna.

"I am trying. My feet hurt. We traveled non stop. Without seeing anybody behind us. Are you sure that my family wants me dead. Even though we aren't on the same wavelength. My grandfather can't be that cold right?", the younger female said. She was beautiful too, but her most fascinating features were her hair and eyes. She had two different pupils, with the right one golden and the other one silver. Her hair were silver on the left side and golden on the right. She was 1,70 meters. She looked a bit like Milisiana and Lunara, but more features from the Sunshine family. They had big bright eyes, while the Moonshine family had a bit more narrowed eyes. It wasn't much of a difference, though. Furthermore she was not that voluptuous, instead her body was perkier and more trained, which was weird, since she was complaining about being tired, while the scholarly looking Silvana drags the sporty looking Yvonna behind her.

Rosch didn't jump in. It was instinct maybe, but he couldn't just walk out after being followed, as he waited in the shadows. The two elven females, were still arguing, as Yvonna dropped on the ground.

"Silvana, I can't go on. I am to tired. Please let us rest for a while.", Yvonna said teary-eyed.

Silvana shook her head in disapproval, but nodded her head in the end.

They made a little camp and ate something.

"Tell me. What did you see?", Silvana suddenly asked Yvonna, who was shocked. She didn't think, she had to talk about it so soon again.

"It isn't what I saw. It's what I heard. I walked passed the main hall, where grandpa sun talked with someone I couldn't identify. Grandpa sun wanted me to be the bridge between the Moonshine family and Sunshine family, but something changed. He suddenly said the idea would be dropped and that Luschila is the new hope and future leader of the Moonshine family. I am not needed anymore, so after that I left. ", Yvonna looked down completely dejected. She always wanted to connect the two families together, since the death of her parents. And the Sunshine lord always encouraged her to do that. She always listened to him and did as he said, even though he was hard on her.

" Was that all? He didn't say more. Like what are his plans? Or, if he wants to hurt you?", Silvana asked shocked. She was sure that his indication towards killing Yvonna wasn't just jokes.

"I don't know. After hearing that much, I didn't want to listen further and run away.", She said back to Silvana still dejected.

"That makes more sense. She didn't hear everything, but the Sunshine lord must have thought that she heard everything they talked about and wants to kill her, because of that.

I won't forget how he called me and talked so weirdly about Yvonna.", Silvana thought about the possibility of Yvonna getting assassinated.

Yesterday before Rosch and his group came into the elven village.

Silvana went into the main hall of the mansion, because she was ordered to come.

" Does he want to offer me a place in his harem, again?", Silvana thought, while sighing. She walked, while giving the Sunshine lord a light bow as a greeting.

"We asked you to make a magic tracker for every noble family member of mine, if I am not entirely wrong right?", the Sunshine lord suddenly asked, without his daily sexual harassment he gave Silvana. No touching, but verbally and without ending normally.

Silvana is shocked, but nodded after he asked, which made the Sunshine lord happy.

" Good, you should know that Yvonna heard something she didn't like and run away. What if an animal or bad people would hurt her, maybe even kill her. ", the Sunshine lord suddenly said. He emphasized the two words "bad people" very strongly, which shocked Silvana to the core.

She got the feeling from him, as if he really wanted to kill Yvonna.

"What should I do? Is he really trying to kill her. Why tell me? Does he want to kill me, too, because I rejected him for such a long time. Or she didn't even run away at all. He just needed a reason to send me into a trap and it worked, because I can't say no. I have to go, if not I am being killed for treason. ", Silvana said becoming nervous, but accepting and telling the Sunshine lord she will pack everything and travel tomorrow with the first morning light.

She went back into her home. Where a young golden haired elf cleaned the living room. He looked at Silvana with shining eyes, as she approached him.

"Leyles, you like to run around outside more than studying, that's why you are cleaning again right? It's you punishment. ", Silvana asked, trying to sound harsh but it was still too kind.

Leyles nooded, but didn't look scared. He knew she was to kind.

"You like to watch the gate, right? Did you see miss Yvonna leave yesterday?", Silvana suddenly asked again. Leyles nodded again, but this time Silvana's reaction was different. She run up packing some things and dashed outside.

"Leyles, I will be away for some time. Tell the other pupils of mine.", Silvana suddenly said running out of her home, leaving Leyles stunned.

"Shit, she really left, he really is trying to kill her and needs my magic tracker to find her. If I leave tomorrow, the guards will follow me. I need to go now.", Silvana thought to herself, as she left the village.

Back to the present, as Silvana finished thinking about yesterday. She looked at Yvonna wanting to tell her that, it is very likely that she is going to get killed, but clapping sounds were suddenly heard startling them, as a tall silhouette came from the way the two females came from.
