Adventures Of A Goblin

Yesterday was a blast in ways that most would consider as fun and exciting while the minority were left with more riddles and mystery to unravel.

Orun was one of those people who was left hanging with his question unanswered and postponed under an excuse that the party was an event brought together to welcome his arrival.

He was to enjoy the event as much as he can rather than bore himself with stories of the past. Is what the Elven queen told him as she left his question on hold.

Contrary to what Dilya wanted, Orun did not get to enjoy himself at the ball. The festive mood was locked away from his mind as he only had his reasoning focused on what Dilya had to say.

It shouldn't be that difficult for Dilya to explain it all to him at once, but for some reasons unknown to him, she is not only keeping him in the dark, she is also playing around with him by not giving him the information he wanted.

It is like she wants Orun's mind to be disheveled about the information she isn't releasing to him.

Orun has no intention of letting her take the win on this. If what she wants is to make him confused by thinking about it all day long, then he just will make sure to not think about it.

Is what Orun decided to do, but it is proving more difficult than he thought when it comes to making himself not think about it.

He couldn't even get himself to sleep all night long, not like he really needed the sleep anyway.

But still, the feeling of having his eyes closed for brief moments and making his mind wander off to his imagination is an experience that Orun takes very seriously, and such experience is one he can only get during night time.

Thanks to Dilya's stunt however, Orun was not able to get that feeling last night.

Not even the cushy, soft, cozy bed was able to remedy the sickness of not brooding over it.

"Come on in".

She only just got to the door and was on the verge of knocking on it to request for permission to come in when Orun's voice rang out from inside the room asking her to come in.

He had already sensed her presence while she was on her way down the hallway heading directly to the guest room he was in.

"What is it this time? Another ball to attend I suppose".

The maid walked into the room and did her usual routine of bowing her head to Orun.

He did not even give her the time to talk or extend her morning greeting his way before she was interrupted with a question.

"The queen requested for your presence".

Orun abruptly got himself up from his seat at the mention of the queen wanting to see him.

'Is she finally going to tell me what I want to know now?'.

Orun thought to himself as he got prepared to walk out the entrance and have the maid escort him to Dilya.

"What are you waiting for".

He was already ready to leave and is at the door waiting for the maid to lead the way instead of just standing still and looking at him.

"The bath has been prepared for you".

"I have taken my bath already, there is no need for a second bath".

The maid wanted to direct Orun to where he was taken to yesterday to dress up for the ball, but he wasn't going to do that.

There is a washing room just at the corner of the room he was placed in, and he had taken his bath there when he woke up in the morning, also not that he actually needed to as a spiritual entity.

The washing room was just as nice as where he was taken to before and he saw no difference in the effect of taking a bath here or there.

Bath is bath, where it is taken is not what matters, but how it is taken is what really counts.

"just lead me to where the Queen is".

Dilya had already done enough postponing when she could have just told him yesterday.

Orun does not want to waste another second and would prefer hurrying up to where she is.

There is still a lot that is left to attend to back home. Leaving it all up to Wildria was not in Orun's plan, and he isn't going to do that.

Once he finds out what he needs to, he is getting himself out of here and straight back home.

The Elven queen is probably aware of this as well, and might be the reason for her stalling the information from Orun.

It does not really matter much to Orun. Either the queen tells him what he wants to know or not, he is getting himself out of here today.

There is no use staying in a place without any reasonable cause to justify his presence.

All he has done so far in here, is eat, get invited to stuff, presented with all sorts of delicacies that Orun finds to be very tasty but not tempting enough to change his mind about leaving as early as possible.

The maid could not go against Orun's decision and simply accepted it to be so.

She went in front of him and like he requested, led the way to where the Elven queen was expecting him.

It was a long walk compared to the distance from his room to the ball room of yesterday.

He was escorted out of the building Orun was residing in, and further escorted out of the gate leading him to inside the building he just came out from.

They were still within the palace grounds, but in a different sector. Each sector of the palace is separated with gates at the front.

There is a sector meant for accepting guests, a sector in charge of laying down regulations that guides the kingdoms. There is also a sector that houses the Elven royals, and one where the abode of the Elven council are located.

The sector he was taken to yesterday was where ceremonial events are carried out.

They had just passed through the gate leading to that sector and have now found himself at the gate of another sector with its own purpose designated to it.
