Adventures Of A Goblin

"Finally, I am free".

It said, raising its two gold plated hands above, rising them up in jubilation and revealing a cold eccentric smirk on its bitter fearful face.

When it was done relishing itself in its freedom, it had its head faced to the front and its eyes staring down on Elmon who had collapsed on the floor.

Elmon was no longer making any visible movements that could point to him still being alive, but the being was sure that he wasn't dead because it could still hear the faint breathing coming from him.

"Do not worry child. You still have a purpose you need to fulfill. For that reason, I will not let you die so easily".

The being got closer to Elmon and had its body crouched down with its eyes staring directly at Elmon's eyes.

It reached out its hand and used it to cloud over Elmon's vision, like it was rinsing off the dust particles on his face.

"Gasppp!!!!!"

Elmon abruptly had his upper body raised off the ground with a long deep gasp released into the air.

He had his heartbeat in a marathon racing, so unstable and so aggressive in the mannerism it was beating at.

Elmon after managing to stable his breathing pace and get it in a rhythm form, he looked around his room and then he saw it!

When he had his eyes fall on it, Elmon in fear was quick to drag his body away from the being.

"Why so scared".

It got closer to Elmon, stretching out his hand toward him before asking for the why.

"You".

Elmon responded in slow motion, picking out his words as he tries to recollect from where he knew the sound of the voice.

"Yes, it is me".

The being answered as it stopped trying to get Elmon to hold unto its hand.

"Now get up, we have work to do".

It got up from his crouching position and walked all the way to the exit, turning its back as it waited for Elmon to catch up to it.

"I....i don't understand. How is this possible, how are you here in physical form right now".

So far, Elmon has only had the grace of speaking with the voice through its hazy smoke like ominous form.

He had never had the privilege of seeing it in physical form, and he most certainly did not plan on seeing it now as well.

Elmon was confused at how things turned out the way they were.

This wasn't the outcome that he expected would happen when he recited the words that the voice told him to.

Elmon promised the voice that he would do as it says, and the content of that promise had to do with Elmon opening the gate.

There was never a mention in the promise that was made about him summoning what he is currently faced with.

Granted that when he went to the gate to attempt to open it, he was pursued by the Elven men standing guard at the entrance.

There was nothing that Elmon could have done to move toward the gate and attempt to open it without having the guards easily pinning him down before he got anywhere near it.

His strength would not get him anywhere near the gate if it was only guarded by one Elven, much less two elves standing guard.

If he could not get near the gate, there is no way he will be able to open it. And if he can't do that, he won't have the means to fulfill the promise he made to the voice in exchange for what he would be granted.

The voice was also aware that Elmon was far too weak to disobey the orders of the guards, so it decided to help him out on that.

It told Elmon to go back to his home and gave him strict instructions that he is to abide by when he got there.

The instructions involved the recitation of words and the drawing of the spell circle on the floor.

Elmon did as the voice had told it to, moving every step according to the way the voice directed, and the result that he ended up with, is this.

"Hurry. I am still in my weakened state right now. For that reason, I will not be able to maintain my form for long until the gate is opened".

This wasn't a part of what the voice had carefully planned out.

It's body as of current is far too weak for it to aid in carrying out its initial intentions.

Reasons for its weakness majorly has to do with using Elmon as the link connecting its current form to the material world.

Just like Orun, the voice or rather the being known as Mammon is an entity that is not permitted to stay in the material world in its full fledged out form.

To accomplish that, it needed a link in the material world that would serve as a guide and messenger of its essence, temporarily bringing it out from the realm it was in, and transporting it over to the material world.

Due to its origin, there are several conditions that has to be met with for a link to establish itself.

And once that condition has been verified, the link will be established and directly connected to the realm the being resided in.

The connection is what will then lead to the link getting mental information from the being and carrying out its will through it.

Elmon did not have to go too far in establishing the connection because he had already been connected to the being right from the moment he was born.

That was what gave him the chance to be able to see and hear what others cannot, the hazy figure of the being always hovering around him.

"What are you waiting for".

Elmon was reluctant to move directly to meet with the being.

Its appearance terrified him greatly, and so does the energy surrounding it.

It was unlike anything he had ever felt in his entire life.
