This is a big one. This chapter is really important in the story so if you keeping up I would read this.
Chapter 8
Ember are you ok
“Good morning, Ember. Nice to see you function again.”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself goblin I’ve only been resting for 3 days, and I can tell you this for sure. That was a bad concussion. I’ll be resting for at lest 4 more days. Where is John? I’m getting pretty hungry.”
“He has to go out farther and farther every day, because the animals don’t go here anymore. That is because they are afraid of us.”
“Oh, is there any dinner from last night?”
“No, I’m sorry you will just have to wait.”
“Fine.”
(The next day.)
“Hey Ember, do you think you will be able to walk for a bit today I’ve been having to go really far for hunting lately and that makes it take longer which means you don’t get food for breakfast.”
“Why not I’ve done much worse before.”
“Thanks, I don’t know what I would do if I were you.
“Ok, ready Ember,” she nods her head looking a little nauseated. “One, two, three.” Me and the goblin lift her up, but I’m doing all the work.
“Thanks, guys. I think I can take it from here.”
“Fine, but I’m going to be right next to you in case. You still look a little woozy from the hit.” We are all walking just a little slower than normal for Ember. We have to take breaks every ten to fifteen minutes so Ember can rest. On our second rest we are waiting around just to catch our breath. I see something! Sprinting towards us. I get my sword ready. Ready or whatever is coming. I blink quickly making sure I can see strait. The beast comes out of the bushes and I see it just a cute dog. The dog has white pointy ears and has all white fur she looks like a snow wolf. She’s a little bigger on the dog size fierce blue eyes. I put my sword back in its sheath and put it down. I get lower to the ground to see if it will come up to me nicely, but it just keeps sprinting. I’m starting to get a bit worried but I’m still confident that the dog is nice. She leaps in the air like a majestic bird and lands right in front of me. She nocks me over and just starts liking my face.
“Off him Sophie,” and the dog jumps of me right away. I turn to him and say
“How did you know this dog's name. Even if it was a lucky guess why did it lisan to you.”
“A-all goblins can-n do that?” He exclaims.
“I don’t know something fishy is going on here and I don’t know what it is. Tell me goblin do you know something that we don’t.”
“Um… yeah many, many thing yeah. Like I bet I know a joke you don’t or I bet I know more about cleaning toilets then you.”
“Oh shut up you that just proves my point even more. You know something now tell my or I’ll throw you in the bushes right now,” I say, and by now I have pinned him up on a tree with my arm on his throat.
“Fine you’ve got me. I have been giving information to another goblin about you guys and he has been paying me in… well I guess not paying me but more like letting me be a free goblin. You know the place you found me, well I was coming out of there from a raid I just did. I did not kill everybody but I was scavenging. I bet you're wondering then how did the puppet think I was a his worker. I threw take of poison that I make so he believed everything I told him. And where did you get the idea that goblins like eating people. We are just as civilized as you humans.”
“Ok, but you still didn’t tell me what the other goblin is paying you in.”
“He hasn’t been paying me at all. What really is happening is. (Sigh) I’m a criminal. I’m a stealer.”
“And what does the other goblin want with us.”
“The capital heard about you and they wanted to know more. They wondered why you came in the one year portal.”
“Wait, did you say the once a year portal. What do you mean by that.”
“Shoot you weren’t Supposed to know that.”
“Tell me now! Does the portal appear in the same place every year.”
“No it doesn’t. The only person that knows is the person we are trying to find gathiar.”
“Damn it goblin you screwed everything up. I’m done with you.” I say in descust.
