Adventures Of A Goblin

The Goblin king gave out his orders to his four Generals and went ahead to prepare for the hunt of the Orcs.

Cladded in black leather from his neck down to his toes.

Assembled in the Goblins training grounds is a scene that can best be described as the domain of the reverberation of sound.

This sound came from the hundreds of goblins that filled the grounds.

Some were banging their weapons on the ground, while some were shouting and yelling as far as their voices could take them.

The reasons for their behavior is as a result of their king gracing them with their presence.

Every Goblin present on the grounds looked forward to only one thing, seeing their king in battle.

It has been the dream of a goblin who grew up hearing the tales of one Goblin single handedly ending the sufferings of the Goblin race, and bringing them under one banner.

for such a goblin, the desire to see the performance of such Goblin spiked up, thus causing them to join the Goblin army.

With the hopes that being in the army, they will one day witness first hand the might of the one who united the Goblins.

That, is the wish of every Goblin present on the grounds and also the reason for enrolling in the army.

Now, that wish of theirs is about to come true.

They are going to be led by the very warrior they have fantasized about,

knowing that, they could no longer contain their excitement as they expressed it in the form of sound.

Making loud sounds with whatever was available to them.

He walks up to the podium, stands firm and majestic on the podium looking down at the Goblin multitudes before him.

At his side, is another Goblin holding the king's great sword with great care.

"skill, voice of the Goblin king".

He says as he activates his skill and got ready to address the multitude Goblins before him.

Voice of the Goblin, a skill that exerts dominant authority over the Goblins who are already loyal to the King.

The skill also works on goblins who bear no loyalty to the King but with low mental fortitude.

The king had tried using it on the Goblin he wanted but did not succeed.

It was one of the reasons he was highly intrigued by the Goblin.

Like a baby crying over what he knows he can't get, he wanted to have him by his side despite the risks.

He still hasn't given up on having him, because he knows he still will.

Once the four Generals he sent after the Goblin brings him back,

He intends to beat the Goblin to a near death state to give him the idea of what will happen if he ever tries to run away again.

The Goblin king admitted his mistake of not reinforcing security around the Goblin.

Even though he did not look down on him, he had greatly underestimated what he was capable of doing to escape.

Cutting one's limb off, is something even the king could only imagine.

For that, the king applauded his resolve and efforts.

It also strengthened the Goblin king's desire to want him under his command more than ever.

He cannot wait for when such time comes, but for now, he has work to do.

"My fellow goblin subjects".

with his first words, all mouth went silent and only the breeze blowing by could be heard.

"today, I have decided that enough is enough".

"generation after generation, our ancestors have suffered at the hands of the Orcs".

"they held the sword, and with it, they pushed us into submission".

"each and everyone of you here, were born to fight and kill for survival".

With every word coming out of his mouth, he pauses and takes a deep breath,

Observing the actions of the Goblins listening to him, he continued.

"even till now, that still hasn't changed".

"if you want to have a place here, you need to prove yourself strong".

"if you want a position higher than where you are, you need to prove yourself strong".

"if you want to have an existence, you need to prove yourself strong".

"the Orcs, have it. The strength to keep true to what I have mentioned, they have it".

"or rather, they had it".

"they were born and blessed with the power to subdue us goblins".

"nature made us Inferior to them in all aspects".

"nature, rejected our existence and cursed us to forever be a slave to the Orcs".

"ww are both beings belonging to the monster race, yet we are ranked lower as worthless beings".

"i however, refuse to believe that".

"I, am a proud born of the monster race belonging to the Goblin specie".

"I am born to be a slave to none and a king to all".

"I renounced the fate that subjected me to being a slave and crowned myself an owner".

"I picked up my weapon and shed my blood to get my freedom".

"the Orcs might?",

"that is all in the past now".

"I drove them down and burned their might to the ground".

"I taught them fear and served them despair".

"for the first time of my life, I saw the specie that I once regarded as my creator run from me in fear".

"goblins, do you know what I felt when I saw such a thing happen?".

The Goblins all waited in anticipation of what words will come out next from their king.

The Goblin king, raised his right hand up and wrapped it around his chest, slowly caressing it with an eccentric grin on his face.

"i, fell in love".

"i fell in love at the sight of my long time oppressors desperately crawling away from me".

"that sight forever captured in my memories and everyday, I relive it and once again fell in love with it".

"their body movements, their screams and the despair on their faces?",

"I could never forget any of those".

"especially when I slitted their heads and carved out their hearts with my bare hands".

"I lived for those moments, but not long after, I left it behind".

"it will be cruel of me to be the only one to enjoy such moments, that is why I handed it down to the four Generals".

"they led you so that you can all experience what I felt".

"sadly to say, I have been disappointed with the results".

"even after multiple encounters with them, you have yet to completely eradicate them".

"I am disappointed at the fact that you let your oppressors slip from your fingers when you could have had their heads on said finger".

"not to fret though, for I am here now".

"i have decided to take it upon myself to lead you all to the complete annihilation of the Orcs".

"now, I ask you my fellow goblin subjects".

"What do you wish to be your object of attraction?".

"what do you wish to become of the Orcs when you come across one".

all In chorus, they shouted.

"we wish for the death of the Orcs".

"great, that is what I want to hear".

"pick up your arms my fellow goblin subjects, because from now on, only blood shall be shed".

"mercy will not be tolerated".

"a goblin who comes out injured in an encounter with an Orc will die by my hands".

"it is overwhelming destruction or death".

"any other choice you think is available, erase it from your mind".

"you either come back in one piece or you don't come back at all".

He thrusts his hand backwards and opened up his palm.

The Goblin standing at his back with his sword, slowly walks up to him, bows his head and places the sword on his palm.

"my fellow goblin subjects, the quest for annihilation begins".

The Goblins roared in excitement, and more sounds made with their weapons banging on the ground.

Their voices reaching to the outer plane of the training grounds.
