Adventures Of A Goblin

"So you do know what is and what isn't appropriate yet you still have the heart and mind to keep me waiting all this while".

Dilya has shown Orun the utmost courtesy in every way necessary, except the part that has to do with her explaining to Orun why he is here and how she knows about him.

The how she knows about his identity is something that Orun has figured out by himself.

He learned the connection the elves had with nature and their respect for the elemental kings.

Orun learned it all after listening to their solid explanation on what elementals are, and from where their powers are gotten.

With that much connection to nature and that much knowledge about elements and elementals, it won't be too shocking for them to realize who the current elemental kings are and how to get to them.

He is not a one hundred percent sure of it, but has the idea it is what really happened.

All he needs is the confirmation from Dilya to be aware that what he thinks is right.

The only thing needed for Dilya to explain to him now is the why she wants to meet with him.

If her intention is not to have Orun join the Elven nation, then what is her aim? What purpose does she have for having him come here.

"I am aware of how I have been so inappropriate to you all this while, and that is why I came here. To rectify my inappropriate attitude toward you".

After he heard what she said, Orun took down the spoon that he was about to shove into his mouth and had his attention focused on her.

"Is this another trick of yours? A means to get my hopes up only to end up postponing it again".

Orun found it hard to believe that she would be that willing to talk to him about what he wants to know now.

Coming into his room just so she could explain what he has been trying so hard to get her to do all this while?

What exactly is her angle? What sort of game is she trying to play with him now?

"There is no tricks this time. Whatever it is you want to ask me, you can do it now. I will be sure to assist you in the best way I can".

Dilya assured Orun that she wasn't playing around, opening the floor for him to ask his questions so she can satisfy his curiosity.

Orun looked at her with a stern expression, gazing his eyes into hers like he was trying to compel and intimidate her through his gaze.

He did it so he would be sure that she meant every word she said and none of it was a lie.

"Alright. My first question has to do with why you sent me the invitation letter".

After looking into her eyes and saw that she did not flinch one bit, Orun took the bait and asked his first question that is also the question that compelled him to come here.

"I thought your first question was going to be how I knew of your existence".

He was curious about that at the beginning, but not after he knew about the Elven believe and have heard tale of the past and their connection to nature.

That doesn't mean that he thinks he is certain on his assumption and as such that he is no longer curious about it.

He still is, but he figured that knowing the why takes precision over the how.

"I am more interested in knowing why you sent the invitation letter to me".

Dilya's gaze for a brief moment, deviated away from Orun but was brought back shortly after.

"I invited you here to warn you about your ill-fated relationship with the humans".

At this point, Orun was not even surprised about how Dilya got to know that he and the humans have not exactly being trending on a friendly path.

"I thought you would recognize me sooner or later. That is why I gave you some time if you would remember me or not before I could tell you why I called for your presence".

She said, looking at Orun with eyes of disappointment at him.

He on the other hand does not understand what she meant by him recognizing her.

This is not the first time he is claiming to not have met her before and has no relation with her, and it won't be the last.

With a godly appearance like hers, there is no way Orun would not remember meeting with her no matter how brief it was.

But he does not have such memories with him. Her face in his mind does not ring any bell nor does it see any theory of them meeting to draw out from and possibly think on the where.

He would have said she has him mistaken for someone else, but that couldn't have been the case.

Orun's appearance is quite unique and it is all thanks to Oracle changing his evolution path from a goblin to an entity categorized under the Goblin specie yet has no physical features to count him as one.

His evolutionary tree under the Goblin specie that Orun is in, is a private one, and only he has the access to the evolution options under his evolution tree.

With such a private and unique trait, how could she have mistaken him for someone else?

Regardless, Orun tried to look into his memory log once more to see if he could find anything he had missed.

Her claim is pretty solid and she also appears to be sure of herself. So perhaps, he is the one who has met her but does not remember the when and the how.

Even though he knew that could not have been the case, Orun still had to take one last journey down memory lane.

Thinking back on the list of people Orun has met with during his time in the dungeon and after that?

The list can actually be counted using both his palm, and looking back on the memorable ones!!

"Don't tel me you ar!!!!!!!"

Orun had remembered something or rather assumed on something and was about to call it out when Dilya in agitation got up from her seat with her expression looking upheaval.

"No! The sealed gated has been opened, how?!!!!!!"

She said, looking across the window that was in front of her.

It was the first time Orun had seen such an expression on her face, getting all worked up.
