Chapter 44 - A small massacre

Rosch, who didn't move for minutes got healed completely, but still didn't want to move. He just stood there.

Silvana couldn't do much right now. The only thing she could think of was dragging Rosch out of the way, because they were out in the open. But before being seen by anyone, they heard someone speak.

"Sir, the mission to exterminate the Moonshine family is going well. The last defending forces were taken out and the others were burned alive.", a blue haired elf reported to his superior, who was a golden haired older elf.

"You f...arrrghhh.", but before the golden haired Elf was able to say his second word, he was killed. A bone blade pierced the golden haired Elf from behind right through his mouth. The other guards were shocked, while the body of their superior dropped to the ground. They almost shit their pants. That dreadful aura, the small being pressured them with, shocked the soldiers to the core. And before anyone of the 20 soldiers could react, the four in the front got cut cleanly in half. The others reacted faster, attacking after the shock, but Rosch didn't care, for every deep wound on his body, he took two of them straight down to hell. He severed legs, arms, heads and entire bodies in mere seconds. Using his arms and legs with grace. Almost like a dance, just with blood spraying everywhere. But the chain mails took a toll on his bone blades.

Rosch jumped at the last three elven soldiers, getting pierced by two swords himself, while striking the two on the right with each hand and the one on the left with his left leg. All blades got stuck in the elven soldiers, but Rosch didn't care. He jumped with the remaining leg up and kicked the Elf, which his left leg was stuck in, using the body of the soldier like a springboard, kicking against the soldiers chest freeing his second leg, while catapulting himself against the other two remaining elves.

It was so fast that the two elves only cut Rosch on the arm, but his bones were to hard to cut through. If they had stronger magic then maybe, but right now Rosch's magic was reinforcing his every cell, non stop.

Rosch broke his four blades that got stuck inside the left Elf in half, smashing his fist with the four broken blades into the face of the left Elf, penetrating deep into his brain and brutally smashing his face into a weird mashed up pulp. While biting the other one's throat, ripping a big piece of meat from his neck.

Both elves collapsed and the third one, who was used a springboard bleed to death slowly. Rosch on the other hand stood there again like before, without care or reaction.

"What are you doing? You have to fight with more care, your life won't last long if you are so unreasonable.", Silvana again run to him trying to heal his more serious wounds first, since her magic was getting emptied fast and if Rosch is on such a destructive path she would need more reserves. She really wanted to help him with his pain, but she didn't know how.

Again some time went by and Rosch still just stood their. His mind clouded, while self blaming him for the death of his family. He, who was cool and collected most of time, reacted only mentally weak when his family was in danger.

Right now thoughts of storming into the Sunshine estate was in his mind, but before he could react another weak voice sounded.

"W... What you.... Did.... To the Sunshine lord's men is what they..... Deserved.", the voice was a guard of the Moonshine estate. His silver hair showed it. Silvana run up to him trying to do something, but the guard shook his head, knowing she just healed Rosch. Her magic reserves wouldn't last and only his suffering would be extended.

Silvana still used a bit to make him unable to feel pain and speak comfortably.

"Thank you, milady Silvana. Young one, I would love to see you kill more of those rats, but you have to follow the others. The woman and children got evacuated, as the very first. Your family is save, but not for long. The Sunshine subordinates will find out that the buildings were empty, no probably they already found out and will, if not already pursuing them. That's why they only send 20 people here. You have to go and save them. ", the guard said his voice getting weaker by every sentence.

Rosch was shocked and his mind wasn't clouded anymore, as if hope shined down on him. He wanted to dash forward and follow right away, but Silvana didn't move.

" I can't go on, my pupils are still inside and they will be treated as traitors. Probably tortured and worse. I need to try to save them, which means goodbye.", Silvana said almost crying. She knew it was her death sentence, but her own character wouldn't allow to let someone die if she has the chance to save them. Rosch stepped forward wanting to knock her out, since he doesn't have time for that. She may hate him, but Schajana's happiness right now and Silvana's safety was more important than pupils he didn't even know.

Luckily the guard said something again.

" Wait milady Silvana, your pupils are with them. I don't know why they suddenly stood in front of the mansion, but they were let in and I didn't see them leave afterwards. And young one listen good. Those emotions you just had, you may think they weaken you or make you vulnerable. But listen, a real soldiers needs those feelings. Only if you fight for something that you love and believe in will you surpass your limits. You will hit walls, maybe someday lose someone important, which may break you, but even if broken what emerges will be harder, stronger and much more prepared. Don't forget the feeling of pain you just had and try to live without making that mistake again. You may have been crossbreeded with uncivilized beings, but goddammit you are more humane than those beast we called brothers. Stay how you are and don't change. And please go save the o... thers my.... Kaaaahhh ha ha... Family is fleeing.... With them, too. ", the guard said with his last breathe, coughing up blood, dying almost instantly.

Silvana closed the eyes of the guard and started to pray, as the guard looked a last time at Rosch with a smile.

"Elviana, may this soul reside besides you and treat him well, as he is a hero just like you would love it. And thank you for guiding my pupils."

After her prayer, she stood up and walked away, but saw how Rosch still looked down at the guard. Silvana came from behind hugging Rosch and whispering into his ear.

" What he said is true. Those emotions can be your end. Hate, love, anger, kindness, but do not forget that those are the things your family loves you for. Without them you wouldn't be you and everything that happened wouldn't end like it had.", Silvana said kindly, while hugging Rosch even more.

He suddenly turned around and gave her a French-kiss. He didn't let go, making Silvana breathless. She grasp for air and looked shocked at Rosch, who smiled at her.

" Thank you, Silvana. You may be right. And you are a really fine female.", his smile became more brilliant, as he thought back.

"She is right. If I was colder, I would have never made Galia my female. She would have been killed or abandoned by me, because I couldn't forgive her. That guard is right, too. Every time something happens to my family, I get destructive. I don't need to throw this emotions away, I need to learn from them. Maybe control them or at least try to stop them from going out of control and not end up like my bloodlines, that do what the fuck they want. ", Rosch told himself with new found strength, while Silvana was enraged, shouting something at Rosch, as he didn't even listen.

" Ummm guys we should go. We don't know when the subordinates of the Sunshine lord may come again. ", Yvonna said lightly flushed red, because of the steamy kiss she just saw. Silvana and Rosch were surprised, but nooded right after.

They went forward, without stopping.

" What's your name?.", Yvonna suddenly said following behind Rosch. Rosch smiled back and just said "Roschar Moonwalker".

As they run Silvana suddenly realized something.

"We don't know where they evacuated to. But you seem to know. Why do we suddenly run southeast?", Silvana asked confused wondering how he can be so sure that they went that way.

"My family is with them. If you fight against your own people and don't have a safe place to return to, where would be the best place to hide? It would be a place where you knew someone powerful that could take you in. I bet they went towards my home, trying to get shelter there. ", Rosch said completely sure, how his females would react.

Silvana was shocked.

" Aren't we on the wrong way then. You are part Nightwalker right?", Silvana asked confused.

" And Goblin. ", Rosch answered shortly.

Shocking the two females to the core. Elves and Goblins made a peace treaty, but weren't on good terms either. No they almost never crossed paths afterwards. They are the closest neighbors to each other, but were fundamentally different, which made peaceful interactions hard.

Both females gluped once and run with hope that everything would be alright.
