Chapter 184 Incarnation Of Pride Pt. 4
After a few more minutes of walking we encountered another group of hunters but this time it was from a nearby walled city and they were a mix of beastmen and human. At first everyone was on edge as tensions rose when the hunters saw Kamele but thankfully the girls stepped in and vouched for her. It didn't stop the animosity altogether but it did atleast give Kamele some breathing room to not feel threatened.
After a quick discussion between me and the other groups leader, we found out that the walled city had actually been sending out groups of hunters to scout out and find where the species that kept attacking their walls came from. They said that the past few days have been eerily quiet and that nothing had attacked the walls. They knew something was going on so the leaders of the town had sent even more out today in the hopes of this time finally finding out something, They were actually on their way back after finding the village in order to inform their leaders when they came across my group.
I asked them if they had done anything in depth observation of the village but they said they were just told to find it and head back as soon as they did. I sighed but nodded my head as I shook the guys hand and we went our seperate ways, I did stop however as a few of the groups people walked past Kamele and said some rather hurtful things like she was lucky to have found such a nice master and that if she was alone they would take their time skinning her before ending her miserable life...
"Don't worry about it Vex, Don't cause problems for me man." Necro said as he patted my shoulder. "Plus I already planted a little something something that will take care of it once they are out of sight."
I gave him a raised eyebrow but he just shook his head and nodded for us to continue walking. I just shook my head and followed his lead but still looked back to see how Kamele was doing but smiled when I saw that Kitsoma and the others had already surrounded her while giving the hunters dirty looks as they kept walking.
We continued walking towards the village and after a bit I started to sense movement all around us in the brush and in the trees. We were being watched and followed but so far nothing has shown any hostility.
"They are not attacking because I am here with you. I will take the lead now if that is ok?" Kamele brushed past me and I got a quick feel of her feathers..... Soft. AHEM anyways she walked forward towards the entrance of the village and shortly after she started to make some kind of guttural clicking sounds and low rumbles, After that I saw as out of the various huts came atleast a few dozen Raptoids. Most were female with their grey feathers and only a few males with a rainbow of feathers while also having what looked like Shaman or Witch doctor like garments over their bodies. I didn't see any weapons except the claws and talons they were naturally born with.
"Why did you bring outsiders here Kamele. Did I not tell you about the one who killed the shaman and his brother that set off with hundreds of females? And yet you bring that monster here to our village.... Did you betray us Kamele? Or did that awful monstrosity force you to bring him here." From one of the huts an maternal voice called out as a female Raptoid appeared covered in garments of various shades of grey with a small splash of what looked like blood across the front in a claw like pattern.
Kamele instantly kneeled at the sight of this woman and spoke quickly. "They captured me during our hunt Matron. This man has offered to take care of me, not as an outcast of my species but as his servant. He only wishes to speak to you and the other Matrons in the hopes of peace, that is all."
The Matron looked at us all with a glare of distrust but as she was opening her mouth to speak, A male with shamanic garb that was also carrying a staff of bone and feathers walked out of the same hut the Matron did.
"It's fine Pesona, I will take over from here." He walked in front of The Matron, Pesona, and then introduced himself. Not before I noticed that Pesona gave him a menacing glare that just oozed hatred.
"My name is Lux, I am the Leader of this village and will hereby take over all talks of 'Peace'. Have you brought anything to give as a way of showing how truthful your words are? Maybe a sacrifice or two? I see a few fair maidens that look delightful and will make great breeding Matrons to bring forth a stronger generation." He said while looking past me and my wives and focusing his gaze on my daughters.
"Oho? Man ya know I was just getting hungry too." I said while about to step forward but was stopped by multiple hands holding me back. Kitsoma and the rest of the girls including Grace and Harper, They smiled at me and went forth with those same smiles on their faces but when I saw those I just felt a cold chill run down my back. I looked at my boys and they just looked at me wide eyed with a slight tint of fear while watching their mom and aunties along with their sisters walk ever 'peacefully' towards this dumbass. Man this guy fucked up..... So much for that.
"Sir as you took over peace talks for your side, We decided to take over for our side. You say that these ladies would make good breeding Matrons correct?" Mara took the lead and spoke first as she was the one with the most diplomatic experience. She waved towards Grace and Harper like she was showing off a new car straight off the factory floor.
"Yes I did, I can see they have good.... Potential." He said while giving them a good up-down.... This mother... I don't know what these ladies have in mind but they better do it soon or I'm going to take this little bastard for a walk to help him find the perfect afterlife.
"Ah, well that may be but you see that big one back there? The one covered in emerald scales? Well that guy is their uncle, or how about the muscly looking Dragonoid that's next to him that looks like he could deadlift a mountain? Or how about the one next to him that is giving off a holy aura like a shining Paladin? Well those two are these girls brothers.... Oh better yet the one that is forcing you too bow down on your knees right now? Yaaaaa, that would be their dad."
"I....Please, Forgive me... Ple..ase."
"No can do see you already sealed your fate, but hey atleast now we can talk to the real leader around here. Let's go ladies, let the boys have their fun." Mara smiled and waved the rest forward as she took the Matron by the hand and helped her up from the ground and they all walked inside the hut. I walked up and stared down at this POS with a wide smile as Gaia, Greyson, and Michael joined me, all with that same wide toothy smile. All he could do was look up at us with terror in his eyes as he gulped a few times and shook like a leaf in a hurricane.
"This is going to be fun little man. I've been meaning to give my new spear some more practice and see how well your species handles it. You look like a dragonoid with a few extra feathers, but man doesn't he look like he's about to grow wings and fly away?" Gaia nudged me and chuckled.
"I'd say let's make this slow but by the sound of his heart, I'd say he only has a few minutes before he is a goner." Greyson chuckled as he reaches down picks Lux up with one hand and holds him in the air.
I nodded towards Michael who immedietely drew his sword.... Looking at him now I could see how his scales that were at first more on the darker side were now turning a lighter grey and I could agree with Mara that he was giving off a very Paladin like vibe, especially with that sword in his hands. But while I thought that Greyson had already tossed the Raptoid up into the air like it was nothing and Michael had already bisected him on the descent down.
What landed was two halves that was split down the middle..... Horizontally..... You know like that one scene in the movie about the 13 Phantoms..... Ugh not a good look. I didn't even feel hungry after seeing that.
"Hurgh... Ugh, good job boys... Damn that's nasty looking. Greyson you mind throwing a little fire and removing this stain from my sight?"
"No problem dad." Next second he snapped his fingers and a small ember appeared from his gloved hand and floated down to the body.
WOOSH
Immediately as soon as the ember landed the body burst into flames and was blackened and burnt to ash within seconds where the wind took over and blew it away like it was never there.
"Sooo, do we go inside now?" Michael asked as he looked at the hut with a look that said he was very nervous at even thinking of such a thing.
"Hahaha, Oh gods no boy. You want your mom pissed off at you? Along with your Aunts? I say we just sit right here and twiddle our thumbs because that is wayyyy safer that doing something idiotic like that."
