Chereads / Kingdom Wars: Goblin Uprising / Chapter 7 - Growing

Chapter 7 - Growing

Palesa looks at her skills bar she has fired nine out of ten darts required to unlock her skills. She fires one into the ground and nothing changes. Nor did the feeling of euphoria come through.

She pouts as Gcina rubs her cheek and says "It only grows when fighting enemies otherwise I would have made do it a long time ago. Keep thinking like this it important to learn about you power I don't know everything just a lot of general stuff."

Palesa smiles at Gcina thou her frustration flutters out of her a little, Diana catching the scent says.

" Don't worry in sure you will get your skill soon. "Even Tau jumps on the band wagon touching gher shoulder.

" Exactly you are awesome their is no way that you won't get your skill soon. " Tau looks at Gcina who is grinning widely thou he can't smell anything from her. He knows he did something wrong.

Palesa, bucks up a little feeling not bad, she wants to become more powerful. The feeling power that coursed through was amazing. Then she asks as if she had totally forgotten. "What about you Tau, what the hell was that you looked so strong back then. You been hiding something."

Tau rubs the back of his hand Palesa is extremely observent. He doesn't believe she just keeps an eye on him.

"I'm not sure it just happened, I'm a little hazy on the details I just felt stronger than." Tau says. He is not sure how to explain exactly when that buck hit he felt like he was dying then a rush of strength.

Gcina gets on her feet and the others follows she says a wiry smile on her," you know it's probably something like hysterical strength caused by the stress of the injury."

The rest of mobs bids at the sensible suggestion. Gcina and Tau are holding hands as are Diana and Palesa.

Gcina had said, "These will be our basic fighting combonation me and Diana will support each of you while you guys are in combat. Hopefully we can be effective in a smaller group for now. Then we work on our group tactics later.

This also made it easier for her to give him tips as she is not a healer he needs to be more alert about his enemies and try not to get hit. They speak about what she thinks he is doing wrong.

She explains, "It's not about right or wrong, it more about using the basics to survive until we reach a Get."

Tau looks a little confused and asks, "What is a Get?"

Gcina laugh not at him but at what she says, "It's place to get things." she thinks to herself, 'ah simple goblin logic.'

Diana asks her voice carried by the stillness, "Do you know where the Get is?"

Gcina helping her and Palesa over a large root says, "Not exactly but in general we goblins build close to hills or mountains."

The general direction is towards the mound Palesa had been spotted earlier. Gcina hopes some high ground will help them get a bearing of the forest.

Goblin Get's are easy to spot if you know what you are looking for. Gcina hopes that by they will be a good unit at least the fights are doing their job and making them work together.

A pig trots into there view, two darts fly immediately. Crippling the pig its squrells louder than baby crying for attention.

Tau rushes to get a thrust when another dart and fireball finish it off.

Gcina says, "Leave it the small of bacon will attract too much attention."

Rumble and howls like never before erupt in the forest. Something big enough to shake the trees is coming there.

The mob runs it for high tailing it through the trees away from the monster. They come upon a tree with a small jewel embedded in it.

Gcina tackles Tau, "Get down right now." the girls do as she says. Tau can feel her breathing heavily. Her breasts heaving on him confirming what he is smelling from her.

Diana is the first to say, "What, what is it?" Diana is not talking about the tree but thinking that Gcina saw something that.

Gcina looks back and shooshes Diana. Furiously signaling her and Palesa to get back, she is crawling as low as she can moving away from the tree.

It is not until they are about three hundred metres she starts running away everyone following her lead. Gcina runs stumbling over roots slipping on mud. Running with all her strength. It's only when Tau manages to catch her. Does she fall into hus arms crying. Shaking the fear in her expanding soaking deep into her. It muddles her lovely scent.

Tau says, "It is okay we are here."

She grips him tighter sobbing into his chest, her soothes as best he can Palesa and Diana catch up and leave him to it. Or rather Palesa held Diana back and let Tau have this moment with her. They kept a look out. The feeling she got after unlocking her skill is even better than before she gets a strong feeling of estacy after each of her dart hit.

Gcina finally composes herself and Diana moving closer to give her a hug and ask, "Are you okay?" The concern she is expressing is on behalf of all of them. Gcina runs her hand down Diana's hand.

Gcina says, " Yeah I will be alright, those trees mark the borders to elf territory, they torture goblins and use our organs in their potions."

Tau, thinks about what other possible races are out there. Gcina thou does look better and he doesn't want to stir up bad memories.

They all walk closer to one another keeping an eye out for jeweled trees and enemies. Tau stops his legs tingling. Something is very wrong he can't hear any of the sound sof the forest it is dead quite. Not even the trees seem to be moving.

Several arrows come at him, as he pushes the girls away, as one of the grazes him. The others were aimed at the girls. Then the sounds return and atmosphere goes back to normal.

The arrows are made of a white oak, flecthed with River Phoniex feathers and craved with El Kal Rune. Gcina picks them up, pocketing them the arrows will see for a lot she hopes.

Gcina looks around, making sure they are not being followed not that saw who attacked. Tau's fast reaction had saved them, she had been able to puzzle out how he did it. She is about ask him about it.

When the waking sounds throughout the whole forest. Tau turns his eyes glowing Bright red. All their eyes are glowing and they start moving north. Lucky for them it is not the direction of the tree with the jewel or the the huge monster from before.

They are moving towards another mound, the way their is laced with skulls, feathered spears. The trees bend towards the mound.

Several other Goblins start to show up, they are all walking towards the mound. Small clearings start to appear on the way space about ten metre wide just wide for a Goblin hovel. Some have burrows while other have built around a tree off the ground.

Their number swell up Gcina, who is able to make out face. See Drimitri first, he looks good for a short goblin. He has the coloring of red goblins which are from another continent. She smiles as certain traits seem to carry through on this world. She also spots two rather beautiful identical looking goblins with lovely piercings. She some others but their is nothing special about them.

Then she sees him, Oda is a black goblin. The strongest of all the goblin varients and she can't change her decision now, she only doubts herself for a moment before reaffriming to herself that she mind the right decision. Her arm moves towards Tau's even under the effects of goblin calling.

The bending trees are used to hold huge lanterns that shine upon an old ruin. That has about seven levels to it. It is made of craved stone that is old and weathered. Huge amounts amounts of food and Goins are gathered.

Atop the ruin is a dues, sitting upon is a desheveled goblin. The host of this festival and a thorn crown wearing, green skin his hue is that of fine silk. He is also probably the shortest one here. But the aura coming off him makes every goblin submit to him, even the huge tall, muscle bound gobo's with the tribal tattoos.

The effects of the mind control wear off, yet their is mostly silence. It is an afrect of the goblin king summons.

Gcina smiles this Get is very well made and is a great place to pick a few and proper supplies. An actually goblin witchdoctor, in full nine color reglia comes out from behind the Dues.

He rattles his Horned staff and starts to speak...
