For Now, Continue to Observe

Kazex was a clever goblin. Were he dumb like his nestmate Treznor, he might have ran up to the two breedable humans right then and there. No cover. No safety. But, Kazex was going to do it safe. Smart. That's how the chief from his tribe had always been. Always thinking.

So, Kazex waited and he followed. Never so close that he might be discovered. Danger was always around. All clanless goblins knew that!

It seemed the humans were moving south. But, like all humans, they moved like stupids. Sometimes getting lost. Never marking their path the right way, like Kazex had been taught. On more then one occasion, he saw the two cross over some of the same ground they'd been earlier in the morning.

Maybe the human women weren't very smart? If yes, then Kazex would have no problem making them his breeders!

He very nearly went forward to collect them. But, something dramatic **** him back. The woods rumbled and a Khras-bogna emerged, shrieking and slashing in every direction. Those foolish humans hadn't even covered their scents!

Kazex scrambled up the side of the tree, far from the giant beast. It would not be able to clime high enough to follow him. But, the foolish human women stood their ground. The one in metal drew her weapon and aimed it at the powerful beast. The skinny, silver one stood behind her. Kazex swore to himself. He was stupid, stupid, stupid. If only he'd approached them sooner, he could have captured them. Then they wouldn't be food for the Khras.

But, then, something incredible happened.

The silver haired one opened her mouth. But, words didn't come out. Instead something blue and pretty. Like butterflies in the air. Kazex leaned forward, jaw agape. Was this...magic? The elder had spoken of it. But, he had not said it would be so pretty...

The waves of blue struck the Khras-bogna in it's chest. Surely such a powerful creature could handle little lights. But, it cried out in agony, flailing for it's very life. A predator no longer. Now just prey. The human in metal moved at speeds that Kazex could clearly keep up with. One moment she was by her companion. The next, she was at the Khras-Bogna's neck. Then, with a single strong slash, the creature's head went flying off.

Kazex peered out from the branches. These two females were treating their incredible achievement as if they hadn't killed something larger then a wompa rat. They giggled and laughed together, the metal one using fine cloth to wipe the blood from her weapon. His jaw went agape.

This was the power of human heroes...against such a thing, a whole tribe could be felled in minutes...Kazex giggled softly. Such females would be the perfect broodmares! Strong warriors to sire strong goblins!
