3 Chapter 3: First Nigh (1/2)

Goblin Guard 1: ”Giii! Giii Giii?”/ ”Hey What Doing?”

Goblin Guard 2: ”Giii Giii Giii Ga!”/ ”Stupid Gob Get Back!”

Jack: ”Giii?”/”Grunt” (”Eeh?”)

My celebration was cut short by a strange noise I turned back too see two ugly loin cloth wearing generic goblins holding a primitive wooden spear with a pointed sharp rock at the end speak.

Although I couldn't understand what they were saying I felt like they were trying to talk to me.

Shit I can't even speak English right now how in the fuck am I supposed to speak goblin?

I stood quite staring back at them thinking about how I should proceed from here.

Should I try to use body language and communicate all there saying is Giii maybe I can bull shit my way through this.

Goblin Guard 1: ”Giii Giii Giii?” / ”What No Speak?”

Goblin Guard 2: ”Giii Giii.” / ”Talk Gob.”

They spoke up again, what would Chuck do in this kind of situation?, suddenly I heard his familiar voice echoing in my head.

Chuck: ”Just say Giii back, Fuck it Yolo.”

Jack: (”That's it!” )

I thanked Chuck mentally for his words of wisdom Chuck would never let me down and always knew what to say or do when I couldn't think of anything so I trusted his judgement over my own.

Chuck: ”Anytime oooooh I'm a spooky ghost now.”

I knocked on my head to get him to knock it off

I started to amp myself up and let out two deep breaths before shaking my head and slapping my cheeks.

Alright here goes everything…

Jack: ”Giii Giii Giii…” / ”Me Eat Poop...”

(Intended meaning : ”Hi I'm Jack...”)

The two goblins looked at me with a repulsed look on their face and turned to face each other beforeignoring me.

Goblin Guard 1: ”Giii Giii Giii Giii” / ”Oi This Gob Nasty”

Goblin Guard 2: ”Giii Giii Giii Giii Giii Giii” / ”EhhWe Pretend We Not See.”

What they're just gonna ignore me after introducing myself?

Now that's just rude oh well I guess it's for the best,

Instead of returning to the cave I wanted to explore the terrain it looks like I'm in the middle of the forest.

After spending so much time inside of dark rooms and caves I think I've become claustrophobic.

I wanted to know where I was and whether or not I could go back home and If Icould go back into my old body.

This body was a lot more capable than my human one in many ways but it had a few problems one being was my huge nose that was always visible and would block the middle of my eyesight also the stench that followed me was awful.

I can't tell if this new body is just naturally stinky or if I'm in a dire need of a bathe either way it smells worse than my gym shorts after P.E.

And probably the most crippling problem is my height those two other goblins were around my height and I don't think I'm gonna grow any taller than this anymore.

I walked aimlessly zoning out to my problems I wasn't even paying attention to the world around me.

I had a lot to think about like how do I get back home?

Or even if I wanted to return home at all I mean wouldn't my mom just shoot me again.

Or what about this body I want my old one back I don't wanna stay a midget forever!

Or where the jolly fuck am I and how in the hell did I get here.

Eventually I found a river, perfect now I can take a bathe and wash off this smell.

I walked over to the river and saw my reflection staring back at me.

I saw a face I did not recognize it was the face of an ugly goblin.

I had large brows and light green skin those older looking goblin Guards had a darker shade of green than mine.

I guessed that the older a goblin gets, the skin would become a darker shade of green..

I couldn't help but let out a sigh I hadn't seen my face since my dad took me in to that dark room and I was starting to forget what I even looked like.

I wasn't really a fan of my new look then again that's the least of my worries right now.

I dipped my toes in the water it was cold but not freezing all I've had to drink lately was goblin blood and bug juice.

I know it's not a good idea to drink water that hasn't been purified but if I could eat raw goblin guts and poisonous looking bugs than this shouldn't be so bad right?

I cupped a handful of water and brought it to my mouth slowly sipping it in to make sure it wasn't too bad and too my surprise it wasn't half bad sure it had a bit of a salty taste too it but it sure beat goblin guts and bug juice any day so I started chugging in mouth full's of it.

I drank until I was stuffed and rinsed my body as best I could with the water every now and then a fish would swim by and I would stomp on it and fling it to the side for lunch later.

Memories of my parents taking me to the beach flooded my mind, me and my sister would always play by the water while our parents would lay by the sun and watch over us.

We would always look for crabs and stick them in Styrofoam cups to show to our parents how many we caught.

Or play tag and catch or shoot water guns I felt a smile creep over my face as I was reminded of the good times I spent with my family.

Which made it all the more harder to ignore how both my parents had betrayed me.

I hated my father but I had complicated feelings towards my mother I don't think she knew about what daddy was doing… But that doesn't mean I'm gonna forgive her for shooting me!

Jack: ”Yargh! Giii! Giii! Giii! / (”Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!)

I stomped my feet in anger crushing a few unlucky fish swimming by and flung them away…

when I got tired I sat down on the water letting it reach my neck.

I missed my little sister the most she was the only one who had not betrayed me I could understand why she would be scared seeing me bite down on daddy's dead body.

Of Course she would be scared of me I felt like an idiot for not trying to explain things to her.

But it's not like I could even if I wanted too even I wasn't so sure why I couldn't speak English anymore I could still think perfectly fine but every time I try talking it just comes out as grunts.

I sulked and submerged even further into the water until only my huge nose was above water, I had caught at least seven fish in my stomping rampage.

I heard the crack of a branch and tiny footsteps quickly approaching me.

My ears were a lot sharper than my human ones I had noticed a few noises here and there and ignored them after all this was a forest and there was bound to be wildlife everywhere however one distinct noise was ever so slowly approaching here and there.

I shot up at attention picking up a few large pebbles and stood in position, I was a Mvp for my junior baseball team back home so I was pretty confident in my pitch when I threw the rocks towards the noise.

????: ”Gyaaa!”

Jack: ”Giii Giii!” / ”Eat Poop!”

(Intended meaning : ”Who's There!”)

A light green skinned goblin came out from the bushes with a hand on its head rubbing the spot where pebble had hit and the other raised in a show of surrender.

Green Skinned Goblin: ”Giii Giii Giii Giii Giii Giii Giii!” / No Shoot I Sorry I very Sorry!'

The goblin waved its hands frantically it looked like it was pleading for forgiveness I couldn't understand what it was saying so I kept my guard up.

I don't know if this sounds racist or if this even counts as racist given that these things aren't even human.

But goblins all look the same to me but this goblin in particular looked a lot different from the ones I've seen before.

For starters it wasn't as ugly as the rest of them and if it wasn't for the big nose and green skin you could say it looked no different from an ordinary midget girl.

it had a fur wrap around her waist covering it kinda like a skirt and what looked like a fur strap wrapped around its chest.
