The two beasts clashed against each other tearing at each other, each move could spell victory or death for them both, as lightning struck across the skies they slammed into each other, claws tearing flesh and teeth biting.
Meanwhile somewhere entirely different, back inside the cave Jon resurrected inside, at the exact same time. Jon was holding back the goblin baby with his free hand by pushing its face just out of reach of its prize.
"Hiss Food gob!" [Goblin Baby]
("No! Gob you!!") [Jon]
Jon said tiredly to himself, he had been holding this goblin monstrosity at arms length now for a short while pushing his palm into its face, much like a big brother would do against a little brother. After the first few tense seconds of it crawling towards him and then trying to climb up to where he was, he blocked it by putting his hand out. And what happened amazed him.
[BloodLine Detected! Would you like to access Progenitor Options?]
("what?.. umh ? yes?.. ow! stop trying to scratch me you varmit!") Jon tried to keep the goblin critter busy pushing at it while he examined the Menu as it widened out and showed up declaring a Bloodline was detected?. Did it mean family bloodline? he looked at the hissing flailing goblin baby he was holding at bay and surmised it must be a family member.

("Wait i can see this goblins stats?, Hruk huh?... but who named him - he was just born... did the system name him? because his mother sure as hell did not - she is barely conscious.")
Jon looked over at what he presumed was Emilia - she was out cold. and now her problem of having to deal with Hruk has transferred over to him. He looked further down the list.
("Half Brother. So we share the same father. Xarn... and he has a title too?.. whoa.. He is part dark elf!!.. Wait am i part dark elf too??.. Wait no..") Jon suddenly remember as he looked at Hruks Race
("why is Hruk 100% Goblin if his father was part dark elf?..... is the goblin genome stronger and removes non goblin traits the further away it gets from its original parentage always arriving at goblin?.. but wait no that cannot be right. Why is Hruk not Part human?.... Ow!")
Jon adjusted his hand as Hruk managed to scratch him on one of his fingers, and almost managed to move close enough to his mother to scratch her. He was still in a precarious situation if she woke up and noticed that her puppies had been salivated on and manhandled (goblinhandled) by Jon, he expected great amounts of pain. Why had she not already awoken ? Hruk was making more than enough noise, and he was sure she had been struck at least once by those tiny claws - he could not tell properly from his vantage point as he was still held in place by her tight grip.
("lets try this..") Jon focused on his mother, and the menu opened up showing a new list, which made Jon slowly open his mouth agape.

Jon began to shake, tears would start to form in his eyes, a whimpering sound came from him, as his world slowly came tumbling down around him.
("Pp.Pp.Princess??.. High King?!...Highmage?!.. I am so dead!. Goblin Destroyer!?. oh no! no no no! Ow! Stop it Hruk! can you not understand i am doing this for your sake too!!")
Hruk managed to latched onto Jons hand with his claws when he was distracted, causing him to retract his hand slightly and he lost his grip on him. Hruk immidiately tried to climb up his mother, his claws making contact with his mothers skin, but instead of drawing blood a slight bluish hue appeared where his claws snagged on. Jon quickly smacked Hruk in the face sending him back down on the ground. He looked at the weird blue glow along his mothers skin that faded away.
("..That must be that stasis spell?..and regeneration ? she does look a lot better... if not for all this grime and filth on her all the cuts and wounds she had were gone. and she was even looking proper nourished too... that explains how i could... gain so much mass..goblin metabolism must be extremely efficient.. Did she put herself into stasis to protect herself from further assault?")
