"It happened 18 years ago. Wow to think that it was such a long time already.", Gorker said, feeling pained.
18 years ago, the village looked completely different. Much smaller and only 4 family heads and a chief. Slither, Leonard, Torkel and Randan were the family heads, while Randan's father was the chief.
The five of them were in the meeting room inside the chiefs cave.
"Father, what is going on? We had our meeting already, why did you call us again so soon?", Randan asked his father annoyed.
The chief looked at every being inside the meeting room. Only at Gorker, did he look a bit longer.
"What have I done? Those beings aren't Goblins anymore. I wanted to save our race, but I did it the wrong way. Mixing is useful to survive, but can't save our race.", Randan's father thought in disbelief. When he started as the chief, every family head was a Hobgoblin, but now only he and Gorker were left and even he himself won't be able to hold the chiefs position much longer. He felt it. His son was eyeing it, just like Leonard, the two strongest beings in this tribe. The only reason they didn't try to take it already was, because they hadn't gotten a strong backing yet.
"I came to tell you all that my time has come. I am sick, I am getting weaker by the day. The shamans couldn't heal it and nobody knows anything about that sickness. Which is way I want to make a decision for my succession. Leonard and Randan, one of you two will be the next chief. We all know that. You two want it the most and I can see that nobody dares to interfere. Which is why I decided to let you two battle it out and the winner will be the next chief. My health seems stable for now and if it isn't going rapidly worse the date for the battle will be next year, but stay prepared if my health gets worse.", Randan's father said calmly. All four of them looked shocked and didn't know what the right response would be. Normally a chiefs position wouldn't be given to another. All the last chiefs were getting brutally taken out. This was a novum for them all.
" Rustaf, you are an old friend of mine and we share almost the same view on all kinds of matters. That is why I respect your decision.", Slither said to the chief, knowing to well he didn't even have a chance against those two young monsters in the first place. He was the longest ruling family head in this village and he seemed to be satisfied with that. He became a family head under Randan's grandfather's rule.
Gorker just nodded and accepted it, while Leonard and Randan glared at each other. Rustaf talked about minor things after that and they all left only minutes later.
Rustaf went to the back and one of his guards came up to him.
"Chief is that true? We never heard anything about you being sick?", the guard asked shocked, but got only a chuckle as respond.
Followed by a stare.
"Gargaschar, what do you think is the most important quality a Goblin should have?", Rustaf asked his guard.
Gargaschar looked stunned and didn't want to answer, but didn't have to.
" I see it in your eyes. You are a cunning, despicable and cowardly being, but that is what Hobgoblins normally forget after the hibernation. Those are the things a Hobgoblin needs. Look at the rate those crossbreeds grow. We will someday lose everything. Our race will go down. I had the opportunity to raise many Goblins into Hobgoblins. I unified them after I took the chiefs position back from the Goblin that killed my father. But, we were attacked by the Nightwalkers and I did something I regret till today. I started to believe, like my father, that Goblins are useless and weak creatures. We need to mix is what I started to believe and with that mindset I destroyed our race. In the future not one higher ranking position will be held by a pure blooded Hobgoblin. We will be the slaves of those crossbreeds. Gargaschar I am not sick. I need time to make a move, because if I didn't give them a date they would have ripped me apart. You have to become the next family head of the Goblins, while Gorker is unbelievably strong, he does not have the right mindset. After taking Gorker down, we will have to take the other family heads down, slowly, maybe even very slowly. After that we will raise our own Hobgoblins into leading positions again. This time we will raise an army of strong Hobgoblins. ", Rustaf said, become agitated. He knew he made the biggest mistake in his life, letting so many strong crossbreeds lead their own families.
Gargaschar just looked stunned, but started to smile. He schemed plans to become a family head since ages ago and now he finally saw his dream come true.
At the Goblin territory, a young Gorker went to his cave after some special training.
As he opened it, a young male and female run up to him jumping on his arms.
"Dad. How was it? You are the youngest family head. Only 9 years old. They must have been annoyed by you.", the young male said looking at his father.
"Gark, Gulia not today. We got news that shocked us. This news hit us harder, making the others forget to tease me it seemed. Some changes are coming, I can feel it. I may not like it, but Randan or Leonard will be the next chief.", Gorker said a bit baffled. He didnt know how he should react to the news. Are they good or bad?
The kids just smiled at their father. As long as he wasn't bullied everything was okay. It was normal for the new one to get teased or looked down upon.
From behind his female came. She was unbelievable, beautiful. She was 1,75 meters big and her skin had a beautifully colored yade shine to it. Her hair was dark green. Her hair was growing long and wild, looking a bit savage. She had deep purple eyes, bountiful breast, a round juicy bottom, big canines showing when smiling and sharp nails. She had revealing clothes on that could bring almost everyone to their knees. If Rosch was present, he would be shocked to the core, because this female is the splitting image of Galia just a bit more seductive. She played with her hair to make her male jump her, but Gorker was walking slowly, while touching her stomach first.
"How is the baby, Kulnara? You don't know how happy I was when you told me yesterday that you were pregnant.", Gorker said with a bright smile.
"It is to soon to say something dummy. I just found out yesterday. I probably got pregnant this week. Did you come home right after the meeting?", Kulnara asked her male sweetly.
He shook his head sideways. He always trained for some time, before coming home. And Kulnara knew. She asked anyway, trying to indicate that he should be at home some more.
" Did you see Larka and Yara? They are still outside. I can't handle their kids alone. They said they will only be away for a bit. When my child will be born it will be even harder to take care of all three of them.", Kulnara started to complain to Gorker. She was the newest member of the harem and had to take care of the two other children, which were Larka's and Yara's kids. Gorker didn't have problems with his harem, he only chose females that he truly loved and liked. But a bit of friction between newcomers and the older members is normal and he thought it wouldn't be good to stick his nose into their matters. So he tried to ignore it.
"They will probably be back in some time. They are seeing their parents like always. You know how they are. Never able to relax, always trying to do something.", Gorker said, while trying to grope his female a bit and it worked. But before it came to the good stuff, some guards came in.
" Family head. Bad news. Our hunting squad was attacked. We don't know what happened, but a member of the hunting squad returned. It looks like he won't make it. ", Gorkers guard said hurriedly.
Gorker nodded his head. He was young and unlike the other family heads still participated in missions or hunts from time to time.
"Okay. I will follow the trails and take a quick look. Maybe I can save some of the hunting squads that are missing.", Gorker said, taking his sword and armor.
"Family head please wait a bit. We don't know what awaits us. Let me get some subordinates. In half an hour we will be ready.", the guard said to Gorker, but was waved away.
"Till than they may be dead. Come after me as soon as you are ready. I will probably be already finished when you arrive.", Gorker said with a smile. It wasn't unusual that he went out alone or ahead of his subordinates. He was one of the strongest beings around.
He dashed out after saying that, leaving his guard behind.
" Guard, be fast. He always rushes into danger without thinking. He makes us worry to much.", Kulnara said to the guard, who was bowing his head in a hurry. He dashed out, too, to get some subordinates.
Gorker was trailing the blood, while he looked a bit confused.
" That is weird. It almost looks intentional. Hahaha. Interesting, let's see who dares to mess with me.", Gorker dashed even faster after realizing something wasn't right.
