Rosch, who didn't know if the shadow was an enemy or friend got nervous.
But his body was truly at it's limit. One of his legs and both arms didn't move anymore. He just lied there, having no other way than just looking how the shadow came closer.
But before the shadow could came much closer, Draconia finally arrived at the road. She jumped in front of Rosch and readied her Ji.
Rosch looked at Draconia and was shocked. She had five arrows in her body. Two in her back and the rest in her thighs.
"Did she protect Yvonne? She should have been able to protect herself easily from the arrows, right?", Rosch thought, still wondering why she does all of this.
"Draconia, take the females and run. The shadow seems to be walking towards me. Maybe it will not follow you guys, if you are fast enough the shadows may lose interest completely.", Rosch said tiredly, but was shocked to see Draconia shaking her head sideways.
Rosch wanted to shout at her, but his females arrived too and were trying to help Rosch up.
"Don't you dare try to run away.", an enraged and a bit out of breath sounding voice said loudly.
Draconia was about to attack, while the females and Rosch looked perplexed.
"D.... Draconia stop. We know that shadow.", Rosch yelled, making Draconia relax a bit.
Out of the dark came a beautiful female. Her skin was dark brown and her hair shoulder long and curly. Her eyes had a green yade like color, shining brightly, as she looked at the group. She was tall, still smaller than Draconia, but very tall for a female. Her breast and bottom were big, but athletic. The female that came out of the darkness was Ziriana. One of Roschar's females.
She walked passed Draconia right in front of Rosch. The other females looked a bit scared, as they went away from Rosch a bit. Rosch on the other hand looked happy, as he was sitting on his butt, looking up to her.
"I am so happy to see you. Don't know what would have happened, if you weren't there.", Rosch said with a smile.
Ziriana didn't say anything, as she suddenly kicked forward stomping on Roschar's chest, making him fall on his back again. He even started to cough.
"Why didn't you guys say anything before leaving? You just left, letting everyone worry. To that you let all of us think that you went towards the beast tribes territory. But instead went to the human territory. Are you crazy, Rosch?", Ziriana said completely enraged. You could even see a vein in her forehead.
Rosch was completely confused, but his anger rose, too. He didn't know why he would get kicked like that after just meeting. While he was to blame for changing direction, why would they be worried? Even more, why was Ziriana here in the first place?
" First of all, put your foot down.", Rosch said, almost starting to growl. He had his pride and as long as he didn't do anything wrong no one was allowed to step on him. The only reason he didn't lose to anger was that he was dead tired and Ziriana was his female. She had the right to explain herself.
Ziriana was surprised by Roschar's reaction. She thought he would feel guilty, but he even got angry. She stepped down from his chest and wanted to say something but Rosch was first.
"Explain yourself. What do you mean by me being crazy? They told me that everything was okay and clarified before our departure.", Rosch said while looking to the side, where Suz and the rest stood.
Suz, Thulpina, Xynthia and Daria couldn't look him in the eyes, as he tried to make eye contact.
Ziriana, who heard what Rosch said, looked at the four females angrily. Her glare almost making them piss themselves.
"What's the meaning of this? Xynthia did you really lie to him? You know how much work needs to be done at the village, even worse the war wasn't that long ago, we need to repair and strengthen everything before winter comes. Next year we need to be ready for everything that may come and attack our village. ", Ziriana said sternly, while trying not to look at Rosch. Now she felt bad for going at him like that.
" B.. But mom. Thulpina really missed her family and home. She just wanted to see if they were alright. ", Xynthia said. Normally she would call her Ziri or Ziriana. The only times she called Ziriana mother was when she did something bad and tried to soothen Ziriana.
But this time it didn't work.
Ziriana grabbed Xynthia and started to beat her ass. She didn't hold back hitting her with deafening strength.
The other females looked horrified and were happy that they didn't get beaten like that, but to their shock after Xynthia was crying and unable to sit on her butt, Ziriana chose the next one and beat the ass of her, too.
10 minutes long did she beat Daria, Thulpina, Xynthia and Suz's butts.
All of them were sobbing a bit, but silent not complaining at all. Draconia just looked confused, while Rosch tried to not fall unconscious.
"Listen, we know that you want to see your family, Thulpina. And we want to make that happen, but right now we can't let Rosch go. We don't know when we are going to be attacked. We have more than enough enemies right now, and see what you guys did. Made even new enemies. And to that of the humans, who are a mighty fraction. Do you know how many I had to kill to finally find you guys. They completely closed of every road towards the forest and the human city was closed up, too. I tried to sneak into the city to find you guys. Luckily I heard that a warrior from the arena named Roschar tried to kill one of the royal family and is now fleeing north. If that didn't happen you guys would have died. That was to dangerous.....haaaahhhhhh... Anyway. Why did you guys came towards the human territory?", Ziriana said and asked at the end. But she couldn't get any info, as Rosch fell down and went unconscious after trying for such a long time to stay awake.
Rosch was groaning and hissing, having horrible nightmares. He didn't know what happened, but his dream was to horrible. Only fragments of it were in his mind.
His leg was butchered open, his shoulder and arms, too. He didn't know why that dream felt so real, but he finally woke up from hell.
Rosch was looking at a cave ceiling, wondering if everything was just a dream and he is back at home again.
But that wasn't the case as the thing he slept in was some pelts on a hard ground. He looked to his right side and saw Basarilia and the witch, while on the other side were Yvonne and Suz, sleeping besides him.
At the other side of the cavern wall Thulpina, Xynthia, Daria and Draconia slept.
Rosch tried to stand up, but everything was hurting. But at least he could move again, even though his entire body was bandaged up.
He limbed slowly with the help of the walls towards the entrance, wanting to know where he was.
But at the entrance another silhouette stood there. It was Ziriana.
"You should sleep some more. We need to rest and get back as quickly as possible.", Ziriana said kindly, she still seemed to feel bad about her stomping on Rosch.
Rosch looked at her with a smile. He was just happy that he was tired. If he was enraged the situation could have escalated and destroyed the relationship he slowly worked in with her. It wasn't much, but he could touch her already.
"Don't feel bad, just next time ask before kicking me. If I truly did something wrong, I will accept your kick gladly.", Rosch said with a laugh, making Ziriana chuckle a bit, too.
"Anyway, I remember that you asked why we came to this territory instead of the beast-tribes, before I fell unconscious.", Rosch said further, but Ziriana just shook her head and said that she knew already. The others told her everything already.
"I would have gone anyway.", Rosch suddenly said. Getting an angry look from Ziriana. Even though he was in the right now as he didn't know anything about what Xynthia and the rest planned, he would have gone if he knew the plan and made the wrong decision volunteerly.
"I know. You did the same with Aria, as soon as you saw her in that cage. You didn't care, who the enemy was, killing or capturing them was all you wanted.", Ziriana said a bit happily after thinking about it at the end. Even though it was stupid and the wrong move, she still liked a male like that more than a male that was cold and calculating.
Rosch smiled at her.
" Finally a big smile. And were you worried about me, too? Come on tell me the truth.", Rosch said teasingly, while Ziriana looked out the cave getting a bit red. The moon was shining very brightly making everything visible, even through the thick snow that was falling from the night sky should make it harder to let the light through.
Rosch guessed from the heavy snow fall that they have hid somewhere in the snowy mountains.
" The night we had sex, the moon was as beautiful as this one.", She said with a smile, while her red face vanished. She thought about that traumatic day, with a bit of happiness, as she still remembered two thinks the silver moon and Roschar's kind silver eyes.
"I don't even remember that.", Rosch said, getting a cold stare from Ziriana.
"I was blinded by your beauty.", Rosch said further making Ziriana flush again.
"Stop it. Now you are making fun of me. I... I was screaming and crying, because of my trauma. You know that very well. I must have looked ugly", Ziriana said, getting redder and redder. While Rosch just smiled. She seemed cold, strong and smart, but when it came to love or sex, she was even behind Suz or the other young ones.
Rosch touched her, but she still shivered. But this time she didn't dodge, bite or scratch him.
"See, we are getting somewhere. My daily touches are getting us closer and closer. ", He said with a smile.
Rosch needed help to sit down and as she helped him, he grabbed her and made her sit down, too.
He used her beautiful thighs as a pillow. She shivered a bit but after he smiled she somehow became calmer. She started to go through his hair, gently while smiling back.
"You know that you have to talk more to each other. Something like that wouldn't have happened, if you all did that.", Rosch suddenly said, hoping the mood was right. He didn't want to make her angry again.
But it seemed futile.
"What do you mean? They are almost adults. You are a freaking lot younger than most of them and already having much more responsibilities. We have to think before doing anything, even more so now, with so many enemies around us.", Ziriana said getting worked up again.
Rosch started to caress her thigh, making her grasp in surprise by the shock. She was even about to scratch him, here nails already at his shoulder.
" What you said is true. But you are doing all the decisions. When they are offering help, insights or plans, you regard them as child's play or to risky. You don't let them have their share deciding together, but as soon as something gets decided they have to act as adults. I know how frustrating that can be. Before I was a family head, most looked down on me. They spoke to me as if I was a dumb child, not knowing how things worked. But how do you learn anything, if you don't make mistakes. And that is the thing about becoming an adult I believe. It doesn't matter how many mistakes you make, important is that you learn from them and try to make it better next time.
It's always hard to find the middle path, but ignoring one side completely will always bring out more problems. ", Rosch said knowing very much how younger generations are feeling, while sitting at the "adult table".
Ziriana was surprised by what was said, she even forgot to scratch Rosch. Maybe, if they talked it out, the younger females in the harem wouldn't have acted like that. But She, Schajana and the rest just silenced them, forbidding them to do anything.
"Maybe you are right. I did the same with Aria. I told her she had to act like an adult, since she became a mother. She sould just listen and do everything I say to her.", Ziriana said a bit annoyed that she and the others may have been wrong about the situation.
"Hope you will get a bit kinder to the others now. They made a mistake, but probably just wanted to help their depressed friend, who was homesick and show you guys that they can accomplish things, too. And that we ended up here was my fault, but I couldn't just let Basarilia down. Just like any of you, I would try anything to save you, if I knew you would be in danger. ", Rosch said, smiling as brilliantly as he could, making Ziriana blush again.
"A...anyway. You sh... Should go back to sleep.", Ziriana said, blushing even more.
"Hahaha, okay. But how is the witch and Basarilia? She has still those metal rings in her palms.", Rosch said worriedly.
"They didn't wake up till now. Basarilia woke up for a bit as we tried to heal and remove those rings. Must have been very painful. She said, she will do it herself, as soon as you are healed and back at full health.", Ziriana said, without knowing why she would need Rosch.
While Rosch got a bit pale, and Ziriana believed she even felt a little bit of shivering from Rosch, as she said that.
Rosch knew exactly what she needed and he knew he needed very much rest for that. He stood up and wanted to go to the back, but while he stood up, he grabbed the back of the head of Ziriana and gave her a deep kiss. She was so surprised that she tried to push out his tongue with her own tongue. But what happened instead was a deep and lustful kiss where both tongues whirled around each other.
"That was for the kick. I needed a reward, right?", Rosch said with a smile, as he went back.
Ziriana tried to catch her breath and looked shocked.
"I.... I didn't try to scratch or hurt him.", She thought shocked, as she traced her lips with her finger.
