"First of all, let go. We need to go back, as fast as possible. My son and you need rest and warmth and I need to send out some of my military. That's the only way we will find Aria and Ziriana.", Rosch said, becoming all serious. He saw Aria as his female even though they knew each other for only 10 days and 3 of those days she was out cold. Xynthia on the other hand was shocked.
" Did he just say military?", Xynthia asked herself with some interest.
Rosch gave Xynthia his clothes, since he ripped hers apart and somehow they didn't look bad on her, since his shorts looked like hot pants on her and his shirt was a slim fit for her and her stomach was free, too.
They walked home and Galia just seemed happy. But she still wanted to know more.
"You said that Nightwalker's are like lions, taking harems, killing offsprings and so on, right? So if you had a child with another male and Aria with Rosch, Rosch would have killed the baby, if it was male?", Galia asked a bit in disbelief. Rosch was still Rosch, even with black eyes. Okay, he was scarier, but still Rosch. He didn't hurt Xynthia, even though she said he probably would, while mating.
" I am almost 100 percent sure. I never heard, about a male Nightwalker that spared a male child of another one, when claiming the female. They often even kill the females, who will fight for their child. While taking the females, who didn't care, had only female baby's or didn't have children at all. Killing offsprings always happens and taking the entire harem always happens, too. That is their most primal instinct. The strongest blood has the right to get carried on. ", Xynthia said, almost as if it will happen. Giving Rosch no free will at all.
" Why didn't I react to Aria?",Rosch asked confused. He reacted to Xynthia so strongly, but never to Aria or any other female before.
It was always the Goblin bloodline that amplified his lust.
"Why would he? Nightwalker's react on pheromones. And only on other Nightwalkers that release pheromones. If he would have reacted to every female till now, wouldn't he have 100 maybe 1000 of females already. Females only release pheromones, when getting seeded even if they didn't get pregnant and those in a pack, too start to send out pheromones. Since their bodies want to get seeded, too. That means the pack is taken. And that makes the males primal instincts go wild. Because less females for them, means less chance to carry their blood on. ", Xynthia said, as if she has seen horrible things happening.
" But wait. How can they have a town? It is so weird. ", Galia suddenly asked. She was completely confused by those beings.
" It is pretty simple. As soon as a male got a pack, they seem to tolerate each other. They won't run after every female that gives of pheromones and become more relaxed, only those who don't have a pack go crazy. Inside the city, only packs are allowed to live. Outside is the real hell going on. Fighting for packs is the way to get inside. Males get thrown out as soon as they are able to mate, because it could give conflicts with even his own parents. Rosch, you were pretty lucky that you only met one female and to that she wasn't giving of pheromones. If not it could have ended ugly. ", Xynthia said, a bit admiring his luck.
" But Rosch started to control his Goblin instincts, too. Why won't he be able to do that, too with the Nightwalkers?",Galia suddenly said with more force. She didn't want to see the black eyed Rosch, again or at least let him become like the crimson eyed Rosch a bit more.
Xynthia looked at Galia deeply.
" That's the reason I am willingly became his. I just hope that he is different, as a crossbreed their is that small chance. I can't give much information about male Nightwalker crossbreed, because they almost don't exist. They get killed by their own fathers. Females aren't that well seen either, but they at least look exotic, which is to the liking of many male Nightwalkers. ", Xynthia said hoping for the best, while all three looked at little Roar. Will he attack his own father for females, too? The idea shocked Galia and Rosch, but just for a bit. Rosch suddenly took the small one and looked at him.
" Yeah you really look a lot like me. That's so weird.", Rosch said happily, looking into his own child's eyes, not believing that his son or he himself will become mindless monster's. Till now he didn't knew how to react, but after holding him he felt weirdly good. He just had to smile looking at his little offspring.
They got back into Moonwalker territory and Xynthia was shocked by all the beings that bowed their heads in front of Rosch.
"Galia, here take Roar and show Xynthia her new home. I need to go, too. I will help search with my warriors. If I am close enough and lucky, I may react to Ziriana just like I reacted to you, Xynthia.", Rosch said, hoping for the best.
"Stop, if you react to Ziriana, just like you reacted to me. You will be attacking mindlessly. That could become very dangerous. What if you storm them alone or at the front.", Xynthia said worryingly.
"I am certain, I can hold my instincts back now. You have to know I was just surprised by the first time my Nightwalker bloodline reacted. To tell you the truth, I really thought till now, when I get stimulated, like having sex, my Nightwalker and Goblin bloodlines reacted together. I never thought I would feel so differently again, as if yet another person resided inside of me. But I have experience with the Goblin bloodline, controlling the Nightwalker bloodline won't be to hard, when I felt it once. I am more anxious about being stimulated in another scenario. Like you said when I will meet a male child of a female that I may get interested in. That makes me actually a bit scared. The idea that I could possibly kill a baby that isn't able to defend itself makes my skin crawl. And if I truly can't control myself now, I will have back up ready.", Rosch said with a smile. He needed to save Aria. He knows it could become dangerous, but for his females he needed to go. He wouldn't be himself, if he just order someone to look for them and wait at home like a bitch.
"I truly wouldn't be any different, than the other family heads just relaxing and living their live in happiness, while treating their families and subordinates like chess figures.",Rosch thought to himself, while going forward to his warriors.
Rosch suddenly stopped shouting back to his females.
" FUCK. My father and brother will smell you. ", shocking Galia and Xynthia. But Xynthia suddenly looked at Rosch deeply after the initial shock.
" Hmmm. My assumptions till now were that crossbreeds are almost like Nightwalker's, but knowing that from three crossbreeds only you smelled my pheromones must mean that your instincts are much stronger than theirs. Because they would have already been here, fighting with you over me.", Xynthia said, while analyzing the situation. She looked very thoughtful.
" Can't it be, because Rosch just got the best of all his bloodlines? He has the resilience of the Goblins, all the bone blades of the Nightwalker and is able to use a bit of magic to self strengthen himself like the Elves. Maybe since he can do all this, his instincts are much stronger, too. So he didn't get only the good stuff of his bloodlines. ", Galia said, trying to help Xynthia understand.
" Anyway you can go. It shouldn't be a problem. Save Aria. Because they would have been here already, if their instincts called them. ", Xynthia said, reassuring Rosch, who went to get his warriors.
" But to think he can release all his bone blades. I have never seen a crossbreed, who could do that. He has all the strengths of his bloodlines. Only his instincts are the down side. He truly is special. ", Xynthia thought, trying to find out why he is so different. She thought that he felt his instincts so strong, because he is male and she and the other's didn't, because they were females, but now it seemed it was because he was just completely different than the rest. Xynthia and Galia went to the cave slowly with Xynthia still being deep in thought.
Rosch gathered up around 100 warriors, with a good mix of Goblins and Elves. They formed groups of ten, which they often do for missions to make the quota every month for their territory. They look comfortable around each other, too. Rosch made it so that Goblins and Elves went together on missions. So they would learn their weaknesses and strengths to complete each other's and it works. The eyes of the Elves and the nose of the Goblins make them almost hunt down any prey. And now Rosch needs the best of his territory in tracking down prey.
"Listen my warriors. We have our first enemies of the year. Our scouts far north said the attack will be in the summer, so we have still some time with the Nightwalker war, but it seems that some got down here and even want to mock us. Not only do they hunt two female crossbreeds, as if this forest belongs to them. No one of them is my female. And I am surely pissed off right now. I need the help of every single one of you. Let us find them, but do not engage them. Make a signal, for others to hear and wait till you have the advantage. That is all. All of you happy hunting. ", Rosch said, while trying to stay calm after the short speech, but it didn't work his aura was felt by his warriors agitating them greatly. His eyes had a hint of black coming up, but he surpressed it, before it grew to strong.
" YEEEESSSSS CHHHIEEFFFFLLLLINNNGGG.", 100 Warriors shouted back at him. It was a bit terrifying to be shouted at by so many beings that Xynthia flinched together even though she was at Roschar's cave already, but Gorker trained them like that. Making loud noise was always a good way to intimidate the enemy in a battle.
Right after their shouts the hundred of them disappeared into the forest. They didn't know how many opponents where there, but they knew from Xynthia that a normal scouting team would be around 4 to 6 Nightwalkers and even if they did team up with other teams it wouldn't be more than 15 they assumed. It was a good number, to prepare his warriors and hurt the army of the enemy a bit.
"Chieflang, we are ready.", Flatch suddenly said. He stood behind Rosch with 3 of his strongest warriors and Gerhard, who stood besides Flatch and had 3 of his strongest with him, too.
"Are you sure we are enough? I mean I felt your presence once when you went mad. I don't know, but if you are out of control won't you be even more brutal? ", Gerhard suddenly said, believing his family head is a bit of a freak sometimes and never wants to cross as enemies with him.
" Hahaha, don't be like that. We prepared good right, if I truly rush into the enemy or at you guys, you just have to shoot the arrows at me with the paralyzing fluids on them. I will drop like a potato bag, while you guys will carry me home. Gerhard you will than take over and give orders, if I am out. ", Rosch seemed to have thought about everything, when he told his plan, it was just that his subordinates looked a bit weirded out.
" Young chiefling, it's just. How, how can we shoot at you. It's just weird an.. ", one of the warriors suddenly said, what all other Goblins thought right now. But Rosch just smiled.
"It's okay. Better be hurt than dead right. Let's go.", Rosch started running, as he wasn't even finished saying that.
"Listen. If he truly loses control. Just shoot. He won't kill you guys for something he ordered. You must have seen that he is different than the other family heads already. I know this is an extreme case, but it needs to be done. Let's go." Gerhard said, trying to relax them a bit, which seemed to work only a little bit.
Meanwhile inside Roschar's cave.
" So that is his home. Wow, so much space. How can that be possible. Aria said you guys lived in a huge tree. Now only one year later, he has warriors, a territory and such a cave. It is just amazing. ", Xynthia said completely baffled.
"I came later into his family, so I don't know what happened between that Aria female and him. But when I came, he just started with being a family head. He got his first subordinates and made so many accomplishments, which were truly an amazing till now, to see him grow this fast is just unimaginable.", Galia said further while making something to eat. Xynthia was almost drooling, while holding Roar. He tried to drink from her, but as he only touched the chest he instantly recognized it. They are the ones, who can't give milk. He instantly started to shout and scream, as if he has to go hungry for days again.
Galia and Xynthia were shocked. He has drunken so much and wants still more. Xynthia gave Roar over to Galia again and cooked for herself. But the screams already lightened up all rooms that were occupied.
From the back came the Moonshine family members and from Roschar's bedroom Suz, Schajana and Thulpina came out.
They all looked confused, because a baby screamed. Wasn't it to soon for Galia or Schajana to give birth?
And as they came closer to the table where Galia breastfeeded Roar, Lunara suddenly became extremely fast ripping Roar out of Galia's hands.
"Tha.. Tha... That can't be. Is that Rosch. How can he be a baby again.", Lunara said a bit confused and still sleepy. She wouldn't say something so stupid, but she truly felt as if she had one of her dreams again were her little Rosch was a baby again. She just couldn't take it that well that he was already doing all those adult like things, even impregnating two females already.
Little Roar started to cry again and Lunara apologized to the baby, as he was given back to Galia.
Everyone looked at the new female. And thought that it had to be her child, but to look so much like Rosch, must be some weird coincidence.
"You look like such a nice mother, Galia. Seems you can't await to give birth. You must have had a really good mother, to teach you how to handle a baby an... ", but before Lunara could say more Galia's head went down. Lunara seemed to have hit another nerve. First Dorna and Daria now with Galia. Seems to mention parents in a Goblin society brings problems with it.
" No its okay. It's just you were right. I just remembered my mom. She truly was kind and held me like I held Roar just now. Even when I grew older she wanted to carry me around.", Galia said happily, but went sad again.
The others looked shocked.
"No she isn't dead. Don't look like that guys. But she isn't truly alive either. Sh... She tried to kill herself and I was so shocked, because she was always so cheerful and happy. But when she talked with my father I could see pure hate in her eyes. She must have truly hated him. He had done something horrible to her, I am 100 percent sure, but she never said anything to me. I just miss her so much. Now she is being held in a bed, being put to sleep with magic and fed just enough to stay barely alive. While I am happy she is still alive, that is just crazy. Let her wake up and we could figure out a way, but my father only said she would try to kill herself right away again. That's why I hate him and wanted to leave as fast as possible. ", Galia said, while crying. But she was instantly held by Lunara.
Nobody saw how Gorker's face changed color in the corner. He was on duty to protect Roschar's family, as many were gone into the forest.
He again gripped his fingers and broke them. He looked out the cave trying to stay calm.
Roar, who felt some bad vibes wanted to cry, but he suddenly saw Thulpina and her huge breasts. His eyes were sparkling and he held his hands up to indicate he wants those two to drink from.
Thulpina complyed and took him, as Galia was a bit shocked first, but had to laugh after the next sentence was heard, which lightened the mood greatly.
"If that was Roschar's son I could see it now, too. How that small baby suddenly went for Thulpina's chest, is just astonishing. ", Suz said, looking at little Roar a bit longer.
Everyone laughed, as Galia finally told them the truth.
"Wh.. Wha... Whaaaa.. Whaaat. I am a great grandmother.", Millisiana's shout came from behind, shocking them all. Even Lunara, who was so happy got hit by the reminder that she was such a young grandmother. But that made the mood even lighter.
"So this little angel is our first baby. I am truly happy.", Schajana said holding him up. She gave him kisses, too. Completely showering him with love.
"You all are really to weird. The moment I saw Galia holding the child of another female like that. I thought that it was completely weird. Shouldn't you be wishing him bad luck or never have helped him in the first place. I mean, your child will have to fight for succession with him now. Or all his children will have in the future. ", Xynthia said trying to understand. All the others looked at her and just smiled.
" While it is true, that something like that may happen, I just can't believe it will. I mean at first I thought that I would have to fight against Galia for the alpha female role in this family, but somehow it feels like we all are sometimes taking up this role and sometimes just let another one of us lead. It is a weird system we have, but it seems to work. Now with our babies being born, nothing should change. I think we should be raising them together and be happy, too. And succession won't be an issue for a very long time either. Just look at Rosch, he will be only 2 years older than his first son. It won't be that soon that we need to talk about succession and even if we did. I think we should hold ourselves back. Let them decide. We just need to rise them into beings that won't tear themselves apart. ", Schajana said, while rubbing her stomach. All the other looked happy. Even Xynthia, because she thought that her children wouldn't be that far up in the hierarchy, but now even they would have the same chances as the others and that made her really happy.
"You are a weird family, but I like that.", Xynthia suddenly said smiling brilliantly. She to went to them and they all seemed happy and played with little Roar. Even Vilcet looked at the small guy. Thinking, if he could teach him the Elven fighting style. He couldn't wait to teach some of his descendants, with Rosch it would be to late. He started to create his own fighting style, learning from different beings. Gorker, Randan, and even some magic from his mother. He cramped that all together.
The night was already almost over and it seemed nobody wanted to go to sleep again, waiting till Rosch would came back.
