4 Pride of a Kobold

As I burst out of the cave with the remaining kobolds of my tribe, a forest of great height embraces my vision.

Trees the size of skyscrapers and wild animals running around participating in the game called the "Food chain."

I am filled with glee as I embrace the violence, its beautiful. Every since I was a young kobold I have always loved the concept of "Predator or Prey." I always thought that seeing nature at its finest was a blessing, so I became the hunter of my tribe.

Being the hunter of my tribe has its perks, as I learned to fight through combat and found a love for killing.

As my stats were remarkably higher than every kobold due to being a being a hunter, I would fight against any intruder who came upon our tribe.

Our chieftain of the past was weak and powerless, but I did not care. As a kobold, the chief is always the highest power.

My becoming of being the new chief I shall break that rule. Only the strong shall rule, and the chieftain which is I shall always be the strongest.

Moving away the new found conviction I have found, I begin moving through the forest with great speed. Due to knowing the forest routes, I quickly take advantage of it as I swiftly grab prey due to my sheer power.

Catching a boar I move towards the kobolds, as I allow them to kill it for power.

"Kill it" I command as I'm holding a boar by the neck leaving its body dangling.

"Yes chief!" the bull dog kobold the rushes foward without hesitation swinging his dagger skillfully as he cuts through the boars throat, causing blood to gush out.

"Good! what's your name?" I ask the bull-dog kobold. The bull dog kobold quickly answers as to not let his chieftain down.

"Chief! I dont have..one!" the kobold shouts out.

Slightly bewildered as I have had a name since birth, I quickly look towards the other 3.

"What about you?" I ask as they quickly shake their heads.

"Okay I shall name you!" I tell them as i can see their visible happiness.

As the kobolds quickly get in line, I lean down to face their height. Facing the bulldog kobold I decide on his name.

"Rowan" I pronounce as a golden light forms around Rowan, while my status informs me of "New Skill unlocked...!" as I look at the new skill I unlocked.

"Naming"- Using the power of the world, you have named a monster. Names may have no meaning for humans but for monsters, it's their very strength. Increases power and talent on any creature you name. Cost-25 stamina"

Feeling a drain in my body as I feel more tired and fatigued I realize my stamina has went significantly down.

I look towards the kobold I just named. i realize he looks much more fierce. Same race but more advanced?

Teeth sharper and larger, hanging out of his mouth like a vampire. Fur longer and thicker, same height but bigger ears.

"Chief! Thank you for this name!" Rowan celebrates doing a little dance over the dead boar body.

I look towards the other kobolds and I see various expressions, some of envy, some of bewilderment but all had traces of happiness.

Nodding my head I tell the kobolds that whenever I can I shall name them. I explain I cant right now because it costs to much stamina.

Accepting almost instantly the kobolds begin to follow me as we reach another cave like entrance.

Noticing the green skinned beasts who are goblins enemys who were always at war with us. I spot our new prey.

As my pride gets the better of me I rush towards the goblin settlement with my fellow kobolds.

"Kobolds!" the goblin screams out in a language I dont quite understand.

The warning sound alerts the entire settlement as they all begin to gear up. Grabbing their spears,axes, and swords while some wield bows they all rush towards me to kill the invader.

Seeing as these little green skinned creatures are rushing towards me I am filled with excitement.

"Come!" I shout allowing my wooflike voice to reach every corner of the cave, as I spread my wide arms out as my claws begin to mow into their ranks.

Heads flying as bits of pieces of limbs as blood is seemingly raining from the sky I feel alive showering in my enemys blood on the battlefield.

Chomping on some heads with my massive jaws while stomping on the dead bodys before me, a loud roar is heard from their chieftains hut.

Looking towards the new found prey I spot a much larger goblin. Looking more like the humans I have saw in the past. A hobgoblin.

"You beast dare step forth on my land..Guueek!!" the hobgoblin shouts showcasing his sharp teeth, I grin at the feeling of a challenge.

"You..are a mere weaking, trash beneath my feet..Bones I shall use as my toothpicks..you amount to nothing" I growl out in a dark demonic wolf like voice.

Hearing my words of insult the hobgoblin shouts towards me.

"Roarrrrr!" The hobgoblin filled with rage from being over looked leaps into the sky bringing his massive axe upon me.

Shifting my body to the side, the massive axe lands beside me leaving a massive crater. Swinging my claws towards the goblin as he tries to retrieve his axe, I slice into his arm leaving a deep gash.

Looking toward him I begin to lick the blood off my claws, the goblin seeing my action as a mock he rushes towards me in a reckless manner chanting "Earthquake"

Feeling the earth shake beneath my feet while making me somewhat lose my balance,I am filled with awe at how powerful skills can be.

Seeing how powerful skills can be I decide to use one of mine I have never got the chance to do so yet.

"Alphas Dominance"-Your aura brings fear in its wake, confusing all in surrounding area while making those weaker than you submit."

"Alphas Dominance" I chant as a darkish aura radiates off me inflicting the hobgoblin and all the surrounding goblins that my subordinates are dealing with.

Feeling my aura the hobgoblin is filled with fear, "What is this?" he shouts as he tries to clear his mind from the destress.

"Your fear" I claim as I look towards him with amusement showcasing my fangs.

"Impossible! I am a rank 2 just like you, how can you inflict me with something like this?!!" He shouts as his body betrays him as he starts shaking.

"I'm a kobold..how can a mere goblin match up with me..you must be foolish." I snicker at his ridiculous remark.

Slowly taking steps towards the goblin, the goblin grows more fearful.

The goblin now so frightened he begins to beg for his life. "Please I'll do anything.. I'll be your slave! I'll do what ever, please dont kill me!!" as the goblin begins to sob.

Laughing at his ridiculous joke I take my final step towards him as my laughing demeanor changes into a fierce savage beast.

"How could I allow a inferior species be my slave as a Kobold? Kobolds are perfect " I declare as I swing my claws decapitating the goblin.

Turning towards my kobolds which are covered in the enemy's blood as they have killed the rest of the goblins,party due to my fear aura.

I shout out"This is our home, are start to...paradise." As I howl towards the sky in the name of our first conquest,the others do so as well.

As this is our first foundation in the Journey of Skoll.
