A month passed by fast. Silvana became more and more relaxed inside her new environment. She even became like sisters with Schajana and very close with Suz. She thought she had to be a mother for Schajana, but she is grown up and Silvana started to think that being a bit like sisters isn't so bad either. She loved every minute inside the family and often thanked Rosch for pushing her into the conversation with Schajana. He was happy when his females were. Aria, too seemed to have become more aware of her actions, because she never tried to sneak out. Only with Ziriana it became pretty much a dead end. Even when they talked and had fun together, as soon as Rosch came closer to her, she started to shiver. Rosch didn't know how to help her, but he didn't force it. Milisiana told him that he needed to be very careful, because right now she talked and trusted him even sometimes touched his hand and one mistake could destroy it all.
While Roschar's family life became more stable with the days, the war came closer, too. Randan's scouts went away often to see how much snow has melted in the far north and the answer was that war is coming soon. They expected the attack with the begin of summer, but till than the village seemed silent and idyllic.
In the Goblin village the end of spring was almost there. The trees, flowers and shrubbery were already in full bloom.
The most beautiful place was Roschar's territory. 100 trees, 10 bigger trees and two huge ones standing out made the entire territory colorful. While they have done a tremendous job on bringing all the trees here for the elven homes on top of the trees. They weren't as good and fast in building them as they were in bringing those into the territory. The hospital and home of Vilcet and Millisiana were finished on the two giant trees, as well as the 10 homes on the bigger trees, but only 30 of the 100 normal trees had homes on them.
The Dwarf mixes finished the wall, towers and 30 promised caves in two weeks, but the tree houses are done by the artisans and military of Rosch. They needed much more time. Sometimes they even destroyed a home, because it didn't look like the artisans envisioned it.
Millisiana had to remind them that it was more important to be practical now, esthetic can be done afterwards.
Another reason for the slow building is that the military has to train under Gorker, Vilcet and the other leaders.
Which was a spectacular scene for the females and children. They loved to watch the morning and evening trainings, the military did.
Rosch on the other hand went into the forest. He often went there to find the weird being he encountered with Gretrua.
He needed a mount and what would be better, than a being nobody could catch till now. To be on the save side, Rosch told Gub to watch Gargaschar and Randan's territories. If they dispatched some warriors he had to be informed, only if they weren't big groups would Gorker or Vilcet handle them.
Inside the forest, Rosch went deeper in it with Suz and Daria following him.
"Are you sure you saw it? I heard it was just a myth.", Suz said, while having fun. She loved to do adventures, even more with her beloved ones. But she couldn't get into more action with Rosch, because someone else was there, too.
"Yeah I heard that it was the spirit of the mountain that attacked them all. And the reason for the attacks seems to be that we don't act like Goblins anymore. We strayed to far from the Goblin ways and that is why we are being punished.", Daria said being happy, too. She shouldn't be while talking about such a topic, but if she was still in the Ogar mix territory, she couldn't have done something like that. An adventure as a female was unthinkable. Now she did it more often.
" You two don't believe me? I told you that I saw it with my own eyes. Blue long hair on its entire body. Sharp claws that could slash deeply into flesh with ease.", Rosch said a bit annoyed that they didn't believe him.
"No, no. I do believe you, but you were on drugs and weren't your true self. You saw something, but was it reality? We may never know.", Suz said trying to tell Rosch again, that he may have seen a Saberlion that is stronger and faster than normal, but he didn't want to hear it.
He went almost everyday searching for that being, but just couldn't find it. Suz didn't care, she just liked the walks in the forest, but she didn't like her male to search for something with such vigor, but getting nothing out of it.
"You may be right, but it could be the creature just disappeared. Let's go back. It would have been great, having a mount nobody else has.", Rosch said being a bit depressed. He even went to Rastar and asked, if he saw the being again, but he only answered no, nothing more, in his unfriendly demeanor.
The females went back first, while Rosch still looked around, as if something was watching him. He only felt it once before and that was when Karler and his troops were near him. They were specialists in hiding their presence and right now he felt the same. Even with his superior radar like abilities, he couldn't detect why he felt like that.
While Rosch looked around confused, a creature watched him.
Up in a tree, stood on all fours a blue haired creature. It looked only at Rosch with a gaze that was glowing dangoursly dark blue.
The two females went forward, while talking.
"You and Yvonne seemed to be stuck. Why don't you just go and say that you want to be his female?", Suz suddenly asked Daria, without ever being able to understand, how someone just can't go and take what they want. She didn't even think the first time Rosch and Suz met. She just liked to cuddle with him and did it.
Daria became beet-red. She lived in a space were she was surrounded by sex everyday, but always wished for something else. Now she had the chance, but didn't know how to get it.
"I... I have time. I want it to be perfect. Somehow, somewhere special.", Daria said getting even redder.
Suz just shook her head.
"I will never understand you young ones.", Suz said with a serious face, which surprised Daria.
"I am older than you and Rosch by a year.", Daria said looking weirdly at Suz, but Suz just touched her head with a finger saying, "Mentally, I am already more grown up than you."
Daria was stunned and almost couldn't resist to laugh out loud. Suz was the most spoiled, bratty and carefree female Daria has ever met. She isn't grown-up just carefree and doesn't think about consequences. That's why she could go so easily for Rosch.
Both went home, while letting Rosch stay behind. He often was staying a bit longer saying that he felt something watching him, but after so many times the females just ignored it, because he always came after them without finding anything.
"Goddammit. Who is watching me again?" I know you are there. Show your sel.... Guhhhaaaa. ", Rosch screamed out loud, while being attacked from behind.
Rosch had nails sticking inside his back and a pretty heavy weight pressing down on him.
He fell forward face first into the ground.
" You like to play, BEAST? ", Rosch shouted as he jumped up with all his might, bringing the beast to fall from his back. It still gracefully landed on its legs. Rosch looked into the beasts eyes, which shined dark blue. It was a huge cat. It was completely light blue around 2 meters high and 4 meters long. It was a bit smaller than a red Saberlion, but looked stronger, because it had longer fur on its entire body than Saberlions. It's ears were thin and long, looking charmingly elegant. It's tail was long and thin, too. It looked as if it was made to be faster and more sneaky, than other big cats.
The big blue cat looked at Rosch arrogantly, as if it was in control of the entire situation.
"Kitty cat, listen. Don't think you will have it as easy as last time. This time my senses aren't numbed. You won't get away.", Rosch said, smiling happily. He truly never saw a beast like the blue cat in front of him before.
But to his surprise it seemed, as if it could understand him. The cat looked angry right after being called kitty cat.
" What's up? Cat got your tongue. Where is your proud looking ass now, all angry looking. Hahahah.", Rosch mocked the big cat. He didn't know why, but he felt the big cat was mocking him all those days he came inside the forest, sometimes it's purring sounds were heard mocking him greatly. He shouted so often at the trees for the cat to come out, while the big cat just stood and looked at him arrogantly. Now he finally could mock the big cat back. The cat even stopped purring.
The cat looked completely pissed. It's claws started to extend and Rosch didn't even see what happened, as the cat just disappeared from his sight. Two seconds later blood splashed out of his chest.
He didn't scream, but it still hurt. He just looked shocked.
"The cat can't be that fast. Something isn't right. I didn't even see the big cat make a move. It just disappeared.", Rosch thought without being able to grasp what just happened. It doesn't matter how fast someone is, he has to do some kind of motion before accelerating.
And again, nothing was heard, seen or felt as Rosch left arm was slashed bloody. And again the big cat was just seen for a moment and disappeared instantly.
" What the fuck? I don't understand. Is there a being so fast that you can't do anything? No Rosch think. Everytime the cat dissappears the attack comes two or three seconds later. Something is really fishy. But how is it possible for the cat to make no sound at all or have no presence? Fuck. ", Rosch started to feel pressured. He thought as soon as he sees the big blue cat, he wouldn't lose sight of it again. Normally he was always the fastest being around.
Again the cat appeared for just a moment and disappeared within seconds and again Rosch got slashed seconds later.
Sweat started to drop down Roschar's face, as he didn't know what to do. But suddenly he had an idea. He closed his eyes and waited. One minute passed, then another one and suddenly he felt a slash again.
With inhumane fast reflexes he punched where the slashes came from.
But nothing happened. He just stood there, looking at his hand.
"Water? Why the fuck is water on my hand. I didn't hit a solid being or object. What I hit was water.", Rosch thought as he suddenly opened his eyes in shock.
"Hahahahaha, kitty cat. You are done for. I know your tricks now.", Rosch shouted as he started to dash into an empty direction. Nothing was there, but Rosch went towards a place, where truly nothing was. Only some trees, but no shrubbery or something else that could give cover.
He suddenly accelerated even faster, punching into empty space and this time something weird happened. A loud hissing sound was heard and than a crash. Sand was thrown into the air and a blurry huge cat started to appear out of nowhere. It stood up, holding its stomach with one paw, looking shocked at Rosch.
"You found your match in me.", Rosch smiled brilliantly. " If it was anyone else you would have killed him, but going against someone from the Moonshine-bloodline is your doom. My fort lies in water, wind and darkness magic. I can't use it well, but my body can detect and defend magic attacks from those very well. I was at first very surprised and couldn't understand, but attacking your invisible water blades made everything clear for me. You are a beast with great water magic affinity it seems. Even able to make mist like magic that camouflaged you perfectly. I am amazed. To even be able to hit me, but not making my body wet with your water blades is just unbelievable control. ", Rosch said, making the blue beast shocked. It truly understood Rosch.
But the beastly cat was proud and didn't want to admit losing. It jumped up, opened its mouth and a huge dark ball appeared. It become bigger and then was shot at Rosch at an incredible speed.
Rosch was surprised again. It had another affinity, this time darkness magic.
"Hahahah, you truly are good. I want you even more as my mount.", Rosch said, while covering his bone blades with darkness magic himself. He learned from his mother and Vilcet almost every day, but wasn't to gifted. He couldn't shot water blades or other attacks, but slowly learned to protect his body with magic and cover his bone blades with them. He cut through the darkness ball, shocking the blue cat again. He then accelerated towards the big cat with terrifying speed.
The cat immediately tried to turn invisible, but this time Rosch followed it with easy. He knew what to sense now. Before he thought he had to smell it or feel its presence. Now he knows that he needs to sense, where a big amount of concentrated water magic is. He followed the cat easily making the big cat panick quite a bit, as it suddenly turned around to attack.
It used water blades around itself and jumped at Rosch with its mouth wide open. A desperate all out attack.
