《The Goblin Nation》36 Burning Love
Advertisement
The brothers stood in front of the remains of their former home. Flute told them what happened last night. Sun was angry at Cala for using their home to trap and kill some rebels. He could have done elsewhere, he could have killed them in the wilderness, or better yet execute them in the public square. He had no problems beheading Tama's followers in front of the public.
"Sun, let's go." Smoke nudged Sun.
"Yeah, let's go."
The brothers walked away. They left for the western forest to continue drawing their map. They got a general idea of the surrounding area, but they are still don't know the direction they should be heading to find human civilization and the easiest path to get there. It's a foggy morning making it more difficult for the brothers to map the area.
Meanwhile, inside the building with the red roof, Cala sits on his throne. Over his head is a set of antlers pinned to the wall. A goblin is cleaning the skull of the dead deer of dust. Cala's veins were popping out of his forehead, his nails were clawing into his armrest, and he gritted his teeth. He heard from his followers that Sum survive the night. And he knows precisely why he survives.
A goblin came in bringing with her Cloud. Cala told his goblins to leave the two of them alone. Once the goblins leave the room, Cala lunges at Cloud. He grabbed his neck and lifted him in the air. "You motherfucker!" He yelled.
Cloud's legs flail in the air as he struggled to bring himself up. "Chief I can't,"
"You told Sum about the bomb."
"I thought he needs," Cloud tries his best to gurgle out his words. "To know how to do the plan."
Cala throws Cloud to the floor, "The plan was that he dies with them, you dumbass!" Cala paced back in forth. "He was supposed to die. You were supposed to have him stay with those cretins, throw the bomb through a window, and then they all die from the explosion and fire. That's the fucking plan. And you fucking ruined it!" Cala grabbed his sword and struck the ground near Cloud's lying body.

"Please, your greatness, I don't understand. Sum is a very loyal and strong follower. What will you gain from killing him."
"So, I can have her."
"Pardon."
"So, I can have Dawn." Cala lets go of his sword and stumbled back to his seat.
Cloud knew this was Cala's plan all along. Cala doesn't like confrontation unless he knows he can win or if his emotions overcome his better judgment. He plans out his actions with great care and consideration. Because of that, Cloud believed that Cala's schemes are due to his methodical personality, but in truth, its because Cala is a coward. But he has overcome his cowardice nature before. During the Tina Bökh Fight against the former chief, many challengers died frightening the remaining challengers into quitting, but Tama and Cala did not waiver.
The Chief's power could not be underestimated. The goblins watching the massacre always betted on the chief. They were sure that the challenger entering the ring would lose and die. Then Tama stood in the circle, and everyone's opinion changed. Unlike the other challengers, Tama's body was built like a bull. He had a strong upper body, and he was a ferocious fighter.
Cloud watched in amazement as Tama traded blows with the Chief. Meanwhile, Cala was biting his teeth. Unbeknownst to Cloud, Cala drugged the Chief with a toxic elixir that he convinced Flute to make. He promised her the highest authority among the caretakers by placing her as part of his entourage. She fell for him ever since and believed in Cala's promises.
But the elixir was not showing any signs that it's working. Cala was growing anxious, but as long as Tama dies, he would at least gain something from the Tina Bökh Fight. Tama is the only rival Cala has to win the heart of Dawn.
Cala watched as Tama begins to struggle against the Chief. He was a muscular goblin, but he can never compete against a redskin. After a bloody round, Tama fell on the floor, granting the Chief victory. Then he shocked the crowd when he decided to spare Tama and make his new retainer.

Cala's was enraged by the decision. He ran into the ring and sucker-punched the Chief, and the spectators gasp after witnessing Cala disrespect the Chief. Cloud and Sum ran after him. When they got to the scene, they noticed Tama was still lying on the dirt unconscious, so they grabbed him and dragged him out of the way.
Cloud looked out at the ring and saw the Chief anger boiling the air around him. Fear took hold of Cloud, like little hands grabbing on his legs, preventing him from running. Cala had a similar experience after hitting the Chief but in reverse. Instead of little hands planting him on the ground, those same hands were trying to pull him out of the ring.
Retreat was the only appropriate response. But despite fear's insistence to retreat, Cala remained in the ring. His fear be damned; he must kill the Chief to win Dawn's heart. He dashed back at the Chief and punched him on the stomach. The Chief tried to dodge it, but he couldn't move his legs. He barfed out blood, fell on his knee, and cried out in pain. The elixir was beginning to work, but the Chief still had some fight in himself.
The Chief slammed his head on Cala's head. Both parties' sense of balance got destroyed. But the Chief regained his balance much faster than Tama because he was on his knees. He stood up slowly and took a deep breath. Then he roared at Cala, "You're dead!" Cala shivered in response.
He ran to Cala with his hands open, ready to grab him and tear him apart. Cala fell on his back as his fear grab hold of him, pulling him out of the ring. But instead of following the hands - his fear, he pulled his legs close to his face. Cala's neck began to glow blue light while waiting for the Chief to come closer. When the Chief got close enough, like a spring, he kicked legs up, hitting the Chief on the jaw. The glowing blue light ignited into flame. The blue fire engulfed Cala as his foot push the Chief up in the air.
The Chief fell on his butt, dazed and confused. He would have gotten back up and continued the fight, but the elixir finally took his ability to move. He sat there watching as Cala's body quickly disappear into the fire. The Chief saw this before, and he knows what's happening. The crowd watched in astonishment. Inside the flame, Cala's body contorts and stretched, his muscles grew more prominent, and his height grew taller.
Finally, the fire subsided and revealed to the world Cala's new body. He turned into a redskin. That was far as Cloud's memory could go. He passed out the moment Cala turned into a redskin. When he woke up, Cala was already the Chief.
The silence in the room was broken when Salicity entered. Cala stood up but before he could, Salacity spoke. "Why not order Sum give Dawn?" He grinned from ear to ear, "Since Sum so loyal to Chief, he will do what chief ask."
"So? How will that capture Dawn's heart? She will hate me."
"Easy, Chief make it Sum's idea."
Cloud stared at Salacity and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Salacity spread rumor so Dawn hear rumor. Rumor is Sum 'selling' her to Chief to gain back favor. Not secret to tribe that explosion last night is to kill Sum's followers." Salacity giggled a little, "Salacity know Dawn will hate Sum for 'selling' her and Chief take chance to comfort her. Good plan, yes?"
"That's not a very good idea. Dawn isn't stupid, she will find out about this plan."
"Cloud," Cala gently said. "Shut up." Cloud was shocked that the Chief was telling him to be quiet and is actually taking Salacity's plan. "Guards, call for Sum. I need something from him."

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
