Slither and Rosch looked at each other.
"I want to by a female from you. How about it?", Rosch asked, but wasn't so sure how to. That is way he just came to the point right away.
"Yeah let's go.", Slither answered and both of them started to walk.
"Wow, that was easy.", Rosch thought to himself.
They walked for a while, as Slither saw another one following him. It was Bog, the dwarf family head, but he went to Rosch right away.
"Wait Rosch. That material your subordinate brought is the horns of the alpha demon ape right?", Bog asked with eagerness, while Rosch answered with a nod.
"Let me experiment with the material. It may get destroyed and useless, but if I can make swords out of it, they will be truly magnificent. Otherwise, if I can't experiment they will only become crude weapons just a bit better than the average. To make masterpieces I need time and luck, because I haven't ever worked with such a material before. If you let me experiment, We will make the wall for free and build 30 caves inside your newly bought territory for free, too. ", Bog said a bit crazed. He didn't even try to bargain. He truly wanted to try his luck with that new material.
Rosch was surprised, but accepted instantly. He needed homes more than anything right now and if they were for free even better. Bog was happy and wandered of again, without saying goodbye. He truly was weird. His work was truly important to him. Not a characteristics a goblin has, must be all from the Dwarven bloodline.
Rosch and Slither went into the Ogar territory and the first thing that surprised Rosch was, all those huge beings wandering around. Every male was a towering beast packed with muscles, even the females were big. Even weirder was that the females were used like playthings whereever and however they males seemed to want or like it. The females were only for the satisfaction there, but they didn't mind it, it seemed. Only the females of the other races looked broken. They weren't used to living like tools, while the Ogar mixes were trained by the males to obey to the limit. If you are strong you can mate with anyone you want and that goes for females also, but most were at an disadvantage compared to males. They are a bit smaller and have less muscles, which makes most of them accept their fate fast.
"Come into my cave. We can trade there.", Slither said without a care in the world. It seemed completely normal for him to trade females.
He walked to his seat, taking place while ordering some guards to bring another for Rosch.
After taking his seat, too did they look at each other again.
" You want a female, but I don't really want anything from you. Tell me what can you give me?",Slither asked amused. He wasn't the brightest, but had fun playing the game of bargain very much.
"I don't really know. I have jewelry, gold or materials. Or I could do some missions for you. I don't mind that.", Rosch said, while he truly didn't know what an Ogar mix would like.
"Don't really need that. Do you know what I want?", Slither asked while Rosch shook his head.
"I want a thrilling fight. I want to feel my blood boiling again. Your father and Leonard are freaks. They are to strong, while the rest is to weak. I am right between them. The rest to weak, while those two are to strong. Do you know how boring that is. Let me have a fight that makes my blood boil. Let me fight Gorker. He is someone I always wanted to fight and now that he is under you, you can order him. I am sure he is somewhere on my level. Not like that Gargaschar. That useless piece of shit. ", Slither said getting excited.
Rosch was shocked. He truly could, but using him like this wasn't his style.
" Why can't I be your opponent? I am strong and can truly bring your blood to boil. ", Rosch said with confidence. Which brought a different reaction than he thought.
"Gyahahahahaah. You are funny. Listen, while it is ture what you did was amazing, but don't think that you are on top already. While you may win against Gargaschar, Norbert or Bog, don't even think you are on the same level as us. Your father, Leonard, Torkel and I are true warriors, not like those other 3, who came into power through numbers, working skills or deception.
You are strong, but young. You have to learn that their are stronger beings than you. ", Slither said amused. Slither liked the fearless character of Rosch.
Rosch on the other hand was confused. He didn't have the feeling he could lose against Slither. Gorker gave him the feeling that he was to strong, but Slither was to slow. How would he lose against someone with such mass.
Slither saw the confusion inside Roschar's eyes and wanted to teach him a lesson. He took his huge crude iron hammer and swung it at Rosch. Rosch dodge, but was surprised by the speed, but what surprised him even more was the power the hit had, as it smashed into the ground. Pieces of stone went flying everywhere some hitting Rosch hurting him. And in the next moment a towering huge being held his weapon above Roschar's head making Rosch sweat profusely.
"I am fucking dead.", was the last thought Rosch had before a huge laugh sounded.
" That is why I told you it is to soon. You are still young. I want to fight you after you got a bit bigger and older.", Slither said still happy. Rosch just stood there, feeling cold. It was his first time meeting someone, who could make him feel as if death was Roschar's only conclusion in a battle between them.
" Listen. Killing Nightwalkers makes you someone, who is above the others. But don't think you are the only one who did that. I killed many and some even before your father was born. The female that got caught and used to give birth to your father was the one I caught. ", Slither said proudly.
Rosch just looked and didn't know how to react. For the first time, he knew that he was truly still just a child, completely full of himself. Slither didn't know, that he may have saved Rosch from overestimating himself to much. Being to full of himself and that nobody could kill him was something Rosch started to feel. Karler was an example. He was truly strong and just played with Rosch, but for Rosch it may have seemed at if they were almost equal, even Gorker, Rosch believed wasn't to far away in strength. Now he wasn't so sure anymore.
Slither looked at Rosch and started to think that he may have broken him, but what he saw next was to his liking. Rosch had a small smile on his face.
"I may be not on your level yet, so I am not fit for fighting you. But I need to talk with Gorker first before making a decision.", Rosch said, while saying yet with a strong and deep voice.
Slither smiled even further. He liked to have good fights and every promising talent is someone he really wants to fight, even more if they have a strong will.
But Slither suddenly realized, that Gorker may say no.
"Wait, my offer is only for now. You have to decide now.", Slither hurriedly said. Slither thought, if Rosch and Gorker talked about it the fight, it will never happen. Gorker refused to fight him very often.
Rosch just shook his head. He just couldn't let one of his subordinates die. He didn't know how strong Gorker is and even more, if he was strong enough to face Slither and even more problematic was, if it would be worth to antagonize another faction within this village. Gargaschar and Randan's faction were already against Rosch. He and Norbert, only had a superficial alliance and with Bog just a business relationship. Rosch wanted to decline and find another way to get the female, but he was suddenly surprised.
" Wait, how about this. We won't fight to the death. It isn't normal for such a thing, but by the power of Masarath, I am bored to death. Give me at least this fight.", Slither really was bored, as he said that. It must have been ages since the last good fight.
Rosch was surprised and nodded. If it was truly just a normal fight, he wouldn't mind. They talked a bit and made the date for the fight in two months.
" Good, finally some light in my boring life. I hope they send some strong ones in the war. It could make the wait tolerable till my fight with Gorker. Let's go to the female cave. Tell me who you want.", Slither said, being finally freed from his boredom, he believed.
They walked out and into another cave that was almost as big as Slither's own cave.
Inside were the females. Sometimes a male came in and took a female, while the rest took care of the younglings or just relaxed. But one difference was there. A big strong male tried to take a female with him, but got beaten to a bloody mess. Both arms were broken as he run for his life out of this cave.
Rosch was surprised, but didn't care any further. He just wanted to get the female and get out.
"So, which one do you want? I don't have any preference, those days are over. That's why just take whichever female you like. If some of my subordinates want to attack you, because of that, it won't be my problem, Gyahahahhah.", Slither said without holding anything back. It seemed that he doesn't take responsibility for his subordinates actions. But on the positive side, if one of his subordinates dies it wasn't his problem either. In that regard he seemed fair. Everyone has to take care of their own shit.
"He seems to be a good guy, but Gub told me that he only does what he wants to do and isn't a reliable being.", Rosch thought to himself not making a mistake and trusting someone like him.
"I want Dorna. Which of the females is it?", Rosch asked without caring about making it a secret. He had the feeling that Slither wouldn't care if he recruited some Ogar mixes.
"Hmmmm which one is it. The name sounds familiar. Isn't it that female that just beat up the male?", Slither said, not entirely sure of it. But to both their surprises, the female heard that and went to them.
She stood only one meter away from them and looked angry.
" Slither you old bastard. You said I would get out of here, if nobody would be able to mate with me. Now you want to sell me?", Dorna said angrily. She looked at Rosch with hatred.
"Oh you are that female. Yes I know that I promised something. But didn't I mate with you? Hahaha, so you lost right?", Slither said getting amused by Dorna.
Her veins on her forehead almost popped.
"You didn't count. That was the deal. As long as I wouldn't let anyone else fuck me, I would be free.", She was at a point were it looked as if she would attack him right away.
Slither just shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't care at all.
"Let's get a shaman and make a slave seal.", Slither said still amused.
Rosch shook his head saying, " Don't need to do that. I will take her like that. She doesn't need one."
Slither and Dorna were surprised for a second and Slither started to laugh.
"I like you even more kid. You want to make her understand her place. Gahahaha. Fantastic. But you shouldn't do that. The only reason she lives here without running away is that her little sister is in my care. You may beat and rape her, but at a point there will be a small gap and that is when she will run. I tried to break her, but look at her. She is still resisting. Maybe she would have been broken already, but her love for her sister held her up it seemed. Love, such a useless emotion. Hahahah. ", Slither told Rosch, while being happy.
" Shut up. It is your own misfortune to never have felt such an amazing emotion. You only know selfish emotions and desires. How can a being that never loved have an opinion and lecture others about it. You disgust me more and more every time we meet.", Dora said enraged. She wanted to kill Slither so bad, but was to weak. She remembers every time he raped her and almost went insane because of it.
" I am on her side. I think love isn't so bad. I even get stronger sometimes, when my family was cornered. ", Rosch said trying to please Dorna. He truly believed that love was important, but wouldn't say it out loud normally. He thought it was somehow embarrassing to say such things. To his surprise, Slither lost a bit of his smile.
" Kid, you are young, but I should tell you something important. Having emotional connection to others will lead to your death. I have seen many great warriors dying because of a female or a child. Listen, if I had your loved one in my hand right now and would squeeze the life out of her body. What would you do? If I asked to kill yourself, would you do it? "Slither said annoyed. He liked Rosch, but that one sentence started to bug him.
Rosch was shocked. He just blurted something out about love, so that Dorna wouldn't be so hard to talk to after getting her out. But he to knew, while love was important for him, he felt the weaknesses of it, too. He lost rationality more than once or almost broke mentally. If Slither would ask him to kill himself for any of his family members, he would probably do it. Rosch looked darkly into the ground. He didn't know how to answer.
"See, that is what I meant. I hope you won't die before that. While I am someone, who loves to fight one on one. There are others like that Gargaschar bitch, who would do anything to kill his opponents. He truly isn't a real male. If Gorker hadn't loved his family that much, he would have killed Gargaschar easily. That is why you should always follow your desires. Greed, Lust, sloth or even bloodlust. When you feel like it, do it. Don't hold back. You only live once and that needs to be filled with whatever you wish for. ", Slither said, trying to teach this young one some life lessons. Not out of goodwill, but to make him able to survive long enough till Slither can crush him with his own hands. And Rosch felt it. He knew that the only reason Slither was kind to him, was because of the Gorker fight and the potential Rosch showed till now. Slither looked at him, like a lion that wasn't hungry but still played with the small bunny out of boredom.
Dorna looked around, while those two were arguing. She tried to dash through the only entrance, but completely underestimated Slither. He suddenly punched her into the stomach. It was a nasty sounding punch, Dorna even threw up blood. What was even more horrible, was that he stomped on her head. Slither held back, but you could hear her head fracturing.
"STOP RIGHT NOW. Who wants a broken and beaten female.", Rosch suddenly shouted. He was shocked by the sudden change of Slither's character.
"Hahaha don't be like that. I am sorry okay.", Slither suddenly said, becoming the care free guy again. But made a 180 degree turn again while grabbing Dorna by her hair, picking her up. He brought her close to his face while saying further, " Bitch, if you cancel my fight with Gorker. I will kill you, your sister and that Ogar-bitch being, who is living in the homeless area, you love so much."
Slither was angry, even growling a bit. He was enraged to the core. While he was a relaxed being, if something comes between him and his fun, he can go crazy in an instant. He dropped her besides Roschar's side, smiling again, while Dorna was shocked and terrified. She was hurting all over her body with just two hits. Ogar mixes are known for their hard bodies, but Slither was on another level. Just casually attacking Dorna almost killed her. Rosch tried to see if her wounds were serious, but they didn't look that bad. Still he isn't an expert, they could be internal.
"Sorry kid, how about that. Her sister is yours, too but for that I want something else. I heard that you promised your father that you would stay in this village till you are an adult. Since we don't know how long that will take, we make a fight up in a year. Next year we will have a fight and that will be a fight to the death, not like Gorkers fight, which will be held in two months. ", Slither said, as if he wanted to take advantage of his impulsive reaction just now. But Rosch didn't hesitate, as he nodded.
Everything was silent, even though over a hundred Ogar mixes were in this cave. Children and females alike were staring in shock, because of the wild scenarios that played in front of their eyes.
But in this silence footsteps were heard and another Ogar mix female came out. She went to Dorna, holding her in her arms. She was probably the sister Rosch had bought just now.
Rosch didn't want much more to do here. He said goodbye and gave his gratitude to Slither and after that went with the two of them home. He wanted to go to Dora's male in the cave, but he needed to check on Dorna's wounds first, that's why he went to the temporary hospital first.
