At the gate of Dwargon, Kai, Scathach, Gobta, Garm, Myrd, Dord, and Kaijin were all being released from their shackles. Kaido looked at Kai and said, "This is it, take care of yourself."
Kaijin looked at his brother and replied, "Sorry for all the trouble. You take care too."
Looking back at Kai, Kaido said, "Listen Kai, look after my bro." To which I nodded in return. Finishing his statement, Kaido announced, "By order of His Majesty, Kaijin and his companions are hereby exiled from Dwargon!" Earning the attention of everyone nearby. They turned around and walked back inside the gates. I look back at the dwarves.
"Alright. Lets head back now, we can grab the dire wolves. The dwarves can go on the back of Ranga, Gobta go on your dire wolf. Scathach and I can fly there."
Once they got back to the two wolves. Ranga made himself large enough for the four dwarves. Kai's wings from his Incubus bloodline unfurl from behind him as he picks Scathach up into a princess carry, earning a surprised "Eep!" from her.
"Alright. Lets head out, we have a few days journey ahead of us. I'm not entirely sure how long I can fly for but I'm sure I can keep going for most of the day. I will need to rest for the night however." Kai stated, to which he got affirmative nods from everyone else. They all set off back towards the Great Forest of Jura.
(Back in the throne room of Dwargon)
"Have you apprehended the proxy?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good. Punish him extremely severely. He's partially responsible if that Dragon wishes to do anything against us."
"Yes sir!"
"I want you to observe that dragon's movements. He's kept himself hidden all this time yet his strength surpasses that of the Storm Dragon Veldora. Do not allow yourself to be seen, no matter what, even if you have to stop observing him."
The female elf behind Gazel Dwargo bowed, "Yes sir." and disappeared into the shadows.
(Elsewhere. In a massive palace floating on a sea of stars.)
An extremely handsome middle aged man was sitting on a throne. He had messy dark blue hair, black colored horns on his forehead, and scales of the same color throughout his toned body. He looked down from his throne at an orb in his hand. In the orb, Kai could be seen flying with Scathach in his arms.
"Ohh dear sister. Don't expect me to let you shift the balance that easily. I understand that's not why you are doing this, but it will cause a shift regardless." The figure muttered to himself.
Looking up from the ball he called out, "Kalishka. Come here." Seconds later, an extremely beautiful blue skinned woman with for arms and a third eye in the middle of her forehead walked into the throne room and bowed before the man. "What is it you need your majesty?"
"I want you to find this man, don't kill him, just cripple him so he can never get strong enough to be a threat to us. Honestly, if you killed him, I'm pretty sure my sister would lose all reason and destroy the entirety of reality, me and everyone else along with it even if it cost her life. I don't think that our little sister would even try to reason with her at that point. If he is only crippled enough that he can't grow beyond a certain point, I think Sarlyn and Nera wouldn't do too much."
"Yes my lord." She got up to leave.
"Wait." The handsome man called out to her.
"What is it my lord?"
He grinned in response and said, "Send one of your underlings to do it. You come and be of service to your master."
A few minutes later she stands up and starts walking out of the room. As she does, he calls out, "Good girl. Now go and supervise the task I gave you."
She continued to walk away, with her back turned, major disgust could be seen in her eyes, but her face remained emotionless.
(At the Free Union Blumund Guild)
Guild master Fuze was sitting on a chair, across from him were Eren, Kaval and Gido. He was reading a letter, when he finished he put it down and said, "So. It looks like eastern empire has decided to stay put, for now. At least there's that. More importantly, how did it go in the Forest of Jura?"
Kaval replied, "Not only did it go terribly, but it kind of seems like you don't care we managed to make it back in one piece."
"Give me your report."
The three started complaining to each other. Fuze got irritated and growled slightly. Kaval flinched and said, "We searched the whole cave like you requested, and Veldora is definitely gone sir, we weren't able to find a single thing."
"It's empty?"
"There's nothing there." Eren replied.
"Ahh, thank you for your report on the gave."
"Righty-o we'll get out of your hair-" Gido said as the trio started to get up.
"I'll give you three days off. Then I'll need you to scout the areas around the forest. Keep an eye out for monsters, they'll be more active with Veldora gone. Report any changes, no matter how small. Be thorough, search every nook and cranny. You're dismissed."
When the three got outside, Kaval and Eren started ranting sorrowfully about Fuze, while Gido walked away dejectedly. Gido looked back, "You all talk a big game, but I bet you would never say those things to the guild master's face."
Eren replied sorrowfully first, "Do we really have to go back there?"
"I guess. If Fuze gives an order, then you gotta do it."
"Excuse me." The three heard a soft melodious voice behind them. They turned around to see a woman with black hair, wearing a black and white mask with a red Gem in the middle of it. "Huh? Did you need something or what?" Kaval is the first to say a little cautiously.
"Did you just say you are going to the Great Forest of Jura?"
"And what if we did?"
"Would you allow me to accompany you on your journey?"
Kaval grumbled thinking it over when Eren walked up, "Sure thing!" He responded, "Excuse you, last time I checked I was the leader, so I'll be the one to say yay or nay."
"Ohh come on, it will be lots more fun with another companion along. Eren, That's Kaval, and Gido." Eren said as she pointed to each member.
The woman pointed to herself and said, "Shizu."
"We're happy to have you Shizu!" Eren replied energetically. Kaval sighed, "Fine. We're leaving here in three days. If that's good for you, you can join us."
"Thank you." Is all Shizu said in response as she followed them.
(Back in the forest of Jura.)
Kai and the other's arrived back at the village, and Kai saw the 500 new goblins that wanted to join the village. He accepted them and told them the rules before giving all of them names, using half his mana. He then gathered everyone in the village and introduced the four dwarves and explained to them what they were there for and told each of them to get into groups based on what they wanted to do. The groups were, Smithing, Tailoring, Construction, Hunting, Security and Combat Training.
(Kai POV)
A majority of the goblins ended up in combat training. From the 600 goblins, about 400 ended up in that category, thirty in Smithing, Tailoring and Construction, ten in hunting and the last 100 in Security. Nodding at their distribution, I then sent them off on their own and called Gobta and the other original 100 goblins with their Dire Wolves. All of them ended up joining either Security or Combat Training, so I decided that they would be my version of the Goblin Riders. Nodding my Head I called Gobta over and explained to him how to summon his dire wolf through his shadow and helped him to learn it. Once he did he started teaching the others how to as well.
*A few weeks later*
I called Rigur over and said, "Gobta is going to be in charge of the Goblin Riders, for now I want you to be in charge of the rest of the combat personal and the hunting group." To which he just nodded and went to do his new job. I looked back at Gobta as I heard, "No that won't work at all, you gotta make more of a 'HHHHHHERNNNNN' sound and POOF, there they'll be."
Shaking my head at him, and the other goblin's confusion. I heard, "Lord Kai!" I turn to see Rigurd running up to me, he said, "Sir. We've just received a message from the security team. It says they've spotted suspicious beings in the forest!"
"Ohh? Is it monsters?"
"No my lord, it's humans!"
'Ohh shit its already that time, alright, lets go meet wife number 3.' Kai thought
