Chereads / Skoll's Journey / Chapter 6 - Alliance?

Chapter 6 - Alliance?

As I stand up from my throne I howl out.

"Pests!!"

I proclaim as I spread my claws out as if daring a challenge from our unwelcomed visitors.

"You dare walk into my domain? The domain of a Kobold? you must be foolish..you brainless insects."

I blurt out with a wolflike grin looking towards the insectoids who entered my home.

The insects tower in height, ant like creatures who stand on their hind legs all surrounding us.

As I observe the surroundings I spot that the ant like creatures are all looking towards a certain area as of awaiting something.

The massive army of insects shift to allow a much bigger insect slide through.

"Brainless insects? hehehe you must be playing a trick, how dare a little dog bark to me in this manner.."

The much larger ant like creature proclaims as he clamped his mandibles together, as he did so the army did as well.

"Clink" "Clink" "Clink" "Clink"...

The sound of mandibles clinking together resonated through the forest and are ravine/cave.

The sound slightly intimidating the kobolds behind me.

Getting very impatient, maybe a perk from my change into a Wolf Kobold, I growl out showcase all my canines.

"What are you doing here little insect..? War? For Dominance? well then try it. I never say no to war..for death is a blessing for those who are warriors."

I roar out, preparing for a war that may take my life and the life of my subordinates. Feeling the lust for war and the intense atmosphere, I smile in a feeling of happiness. This Is it, this is me I tell myself, as I found a new found realization of myself. I love War.

The Ant King surprised at my declaration of my love of war, a hint of respect can be seen in his insect eyes.

"We are not here for war.. or Dominance. We are here for a alliance."

Confusion written all over my wolflike face, as a alliance of completely foreign to me. For all I have known was battle and death, that beings of all races would massacre each another.

"Why an "Alliance?"

I mutter out, still being on edge for any surprise attacks.

"I saw your battle with the hobgoblin..You have immense potential for a lowly creature such as yourself.."

As I hear the word "lowly" i roar out

"SAY one more word about my race and I shall rip out your throat and feast upon your children.."

The Ant King surprised at my outburst continues talking, ignoring my burst of rage.

"Ahem.. Well for a lower graded creature such as yourself, your potential evolutionary paths are very limited."

The Ant King speaks out looking up towards me, as I listen to his words a Greed for more knowledge comes upon me as I put away my rage of being called lowly.

"Evolutionary paths?" I question

"Ah yes Evolutionary paths are pathways "Fate" or the Gods create for all creatures. Making the life of creatures that are blessed with fate or their gods have a much easier time to evolve. "

"But as their has never been a Kobold who has earned the throne, and that fate thinks of you as bags of xp. Kobolds have basically no future."

Hearing his words I am weirdly relieved. A thirst for more knowledge quenched and my Greed for ultimate rule remained. No kobold became a god? then I will! Kobolds dont have many evolutionary pathways? I'll create them. I'll make Kobolds a ultimate race, that no one dares to look down upon.

Reinforcing my ideals, I turn towards the Ant King as I speak out.

"So if Kobolds are essentially garbage in the eyes of the world, why do you want a alliance with one?"

Hearing my words the Ant King look towards me in a different light.

"You aren't saddened by hearing your race is forced to become nothing?"

Hearing his words I roar out in laughter as my voice resonates through the forest.

"Why would I? If my race is garbage then I'll make it shine. My race dont have evolutionary paths? Then I'll make them. My race never had a God? Then I'll become that god."

The Ant King hearing my words is reassured of his plan.

"Come little dog, We have much to discuss. "
