Sitting inside the cave Draig leaned his sword up against his trunk before returning to the fire and looking through the basket with interest.

"What is this." asked Draig holding up a hard brown substance.

"You dissolve it into your drink and boil it, only use a small bit though it is quite potent." smiled Suri as she watched him dig through the basket kind of like a child.

Draig sniffed some odd looking grapes with little spikes on them, they smelled extremely sweet.

----------

The first few minutes were spent watching Draig investigate the basket's contents, however Ari had kept her eyes focused on the sword the whole time while Flare also watched the weapon carefully.

"So how did you cross the ice wall." asked Suri causing the Silent killer to stare at her quizzically.

"I didn't, I lost my oars and began drifting until I suddenly passed out. When I woke up I was here." answered Draig causing Suri to look at him doubtfully but she couldn't detect any lies though would she be able to even if he was.

"So are all humans like you?" asked Eliza suddenly.

"Like me?" asked Draig unsure of her meaning.

"Violent, bloodthirsty, I could use other words but I feel those are the best to describe you." spat the Dwarf causing Draig to go cold in expression.

"Funny I should ask the same of you, do all monsters attack someone unprovoked? As I recall I had no altercation with any of your people until you all attacked me." shot back Draig causing Eliza bristle in rage.

"You!!" growled the girl as she reached for her maul.

Draig focused his attention on the immediate threat allowing for a small lapse in his senses which gave Ari the chance they were hoping for.

The Goblin Queen snatched up the sword and dashed out the cave causing Flare to smile as she stood to her feet while Eliza took this as a sign however Suri was staring at Draig mortified.

The deathly aura was indeed not from the sword, she watched as that sickening aura began to thicken and expand as Draig's murderous intent became known.

"Everyone stand down!!" cried Suri with a panicked expression.

"Suri we got the sword he's weaker no-" started Flare as she suddenly felt a fist plant in her stomach knocking the wind from her while cracking a few ribs.

The silent Killer spun on his foot and grabbed Eliza like a dog by the scruff and threw her brutally into the wall before taking her maul in pursuit of Ari.

Suri was too slow to react as these things happened in the blink of an eye, the only time she had actually seen him move is when he stopped to grab Eliza.

However her mind quickly snapped into action as she immediately gave pursuit, Ari was in deadly trouble by this point as the little goblin knew not the devil she had unleashed.

--------------

Ari ran with panicked tears as she barely managed to avoid a deadly strike to her head thanks to her clumsiness, however the tree that inevitably took the blow had its base knocked clean from the stump.

Draig was glaring down at the Goblin Queen with narrowed eyes as he raised the Maul above his head intending to smash hers like a gourd.

"P-Please, I'm sorry." cried Ari tears streaming from her eyes.

Draig didn't care as he made to swing downwards but found his arm locked in place, looking up he saw Suri with her hand held out.

Growling Draig crouched down and using his new found strength launched himself into the air with enough force to indent the ground.

Suri hadn't expected this and released her control over the limb as she now avoided his wild strikes, however her dodge meant nothing when he peppered her body with little metal stars.

-----------

Ari was petrified from fear, she didn't even move when Draig landed back to the ground. She fell limp as he approached her, her eyes locked wide in fear.

"P-Please no." cried Ari softly just above a whisper.

The Silent killer just took his blade and huffed angrily before turning his back on the little goblin, he then cast his gaze to the Corpse Queen in the sky. The look he gave promised malice however he ignored her and returned to his cave where he would certainly find two victims.

---------------------

Returning to his abode he found Flare just beginning to stir, however as she came to she realized her situation and locked eyes on Draig.

"I did try diplomacy, in the end monsters can't be trusted." stated Draig as he drew his sword.

Flare began to cry as she backed up wincing as she bumped her ribs.

"W-wait, you don't have to do this. It won't happen again." spoke Flare quickly.

"It won't happen again if I do this." stated Draig as the Matriarch of Red Dragons began to sob she began going through anything that would save her.

"I can give you gold, Dragons keep hoards of gold." started Flare bargaining for her life.

However this didn't stop Draig's approach forcing the Matriarch to keep scooting backwards, as she became desperate to save herself.

"I'll give you anything please." cried Flare as she kept thinking of something until finally she started to undo her chest piece causing Draig to freeze in place as he saw Oppai.

The silent killer took in the sight for a second before turning his head and putting on his face cover.

A few short moments of silence with Flare baring her tits to the world went by before Draig just grunted.

"Get out... take your friend with you." stated Draig as he walked out of the cave without giving much away as to his thoughts.

-----------

Flare watched Draig leave and silently thanked whatever being was looking out for her on this day as she covered herself, however she did note that this was something worth mentioning to the others.

Who would have thought that someone so vicious would have such a weakness, it was in the middle of her contemplation that she noticed the pile of bones piled up and she was once again cold with fear.

This was the scene Suri walked in on.

"I honestly expected you to be dead by the time I arrived." commented Suri with Ari hugging her side.

"He was going to, I made him change his mind." answered Flare her eyes fixed on the bones.

"What did you do?" asked Suri curious as to what would make that person reconsider something he does so easily.

"I showed him my breasts." answered Flare causing Suri to flush red while Ari was knocked out of her stupor by this response.

She had still been fearing his return for vengeance but if this was all it took... well goblins weren't particularly shy about their goodies though Ari had been and used her purity as a bargaining chip to control the male Goblins in her tribe.

'Peek= Life' thought the Goblin queen as she began to calm down however Suri was flustered beyond belief.

"Showed him your breasts, how shameless are you." started Suri chastising Flare

"Pride has no meaning in death, if all I got to do to survive a sure death encounter I'll do it. I was prepared to go all the way if that would calm him down. I don't want to die yet and when faced with death, I now know how far I'm willing to go to survive." answered Flare as she stood up weakly as Eliza woke up.

"I'm alive?" muttered Eliza bringing Suri's attention to her.

----------

"You stupid, reckless child. You almost got all of us killed over your vendetta, you and your father are just a like. Rude, short sighted, short minded, arrogant fools. If I didn't know you were his daughter before I can surely tell now, grr." growled Suri as she laid into Eliza who could only grit her teeth until that last bit.

"Better than being a pushover like you." spat back Eliza only for a swift slap to grace her cheek.

"Pushover? It's called kindness, think carefully before you speak to me girl. Where do you think all of this nations dead goes? My armies would swamp your cities under the mountain easily and for everyone killed on your side my side would gain another. You who have only held the throne for barely twelve hours really think you know how to lead? Leading is knowing when to bite your tongue, leading is knowing when to put aside personal emotions aside for the greater good. There are many other things to make a good leader but you should start with those two before you consider rejoining this alliance." spat Suri causing Eliza to wince until the last bit.

"Rejoin the Alliance, you can't kick me out of this alliance." started Eliza as she began to look stricken with panic.

"Those in favor of casting the dwarves from the Alliance raise your hand." called out Suri causing the other two raise their hands much to Eliza's shock.

"Wait, you can't do this. What am I supposed to tell my people when I return." demanded Eliza.

"Tell them you messed up or whatever you wish, it is of no concern what the Dwarves do anymore. Should you come marching for war then I will squash your armies and take your lands, should you go back and educate yourself then we may speak again in the future however the decision stands." answered Suri leaving the Dwarf to stare in defeat.
