28 Two Gifts (1/2)
”Think of it like robbing a bank, only now, the bankers can shoot fire.”
”Yes, I get it, Jenkins.”
Although that weird elf kept talking, Michael was having some fun while doing so. Rather weird, as he was a renowned lone wolf on earth.
”And Michael. I have the gifts ready! Just follow me!”
For the first time in many years, Michael was able to feel genuine happiness when speaking with someone else. He followed Jenkins into another room that open up.Hiding behind a piece of the alloyed wall.
As he entered, he noticed that it was set up like a sort living room. A large brown sofa which covered the one side of the wall, tightly leaned against it. The floor had a massive grey rug on. However, this waswhen compared with the giant gold tree standing in the middle of the room. Sharing its appearance with a pine tree usually used when christmas arrives. Hell, there was even two tightly wrapped gifts underneath it.
Jenkins threw himself on the couch, waiting for Michael to unpack the presents.
With little to no choice, he picked up one of the white boxes, planning on opening it up.
Inside.....
There was a small white egg?
”What is this?” Michael turned towards the eager Jenkins, wanting to know what this was.
”It's a duck egg!”
...
”But why?”
”Y..You ungrateful bastard! Did you know how many merchants I beat up in order to get that?!”
The atmosphere got a little awkward, so Michael only gave a stiff smile and thanked him. Stretching his hand towards the last box.
Inside it was no egg, luckly. But a small naked creatures? It had some green skin followed by some rather ugly looks.
”What is this? And why is it moving?”
Jenkins smiled, imagining how Michael would be eternally grateful for this one.
”It's a goblin I caught! Still lives too. After all, I am a great magician!”
....
”How long has it been here?”
”Two weeks!”
He reached his hand inside the box, placing the small creature on the rugged floor.
As it woke up, it noticed Michael and began to bark some unkown language at him. However, when seeing Jenkins there, made it hide behind the one it screamed at.
”Wait a second, Michael. I'll help you with this one!”
Jenkins chanted something in his head, and a black chain shot into the head of the goblin and then onto Michael's arm. The small creature passed out when it happend.
[Host has formed a familiar contract]
[Goblin added]
[Do you wish to name it?]
”What the hell?! I didn't ask for a goblin!”
Jenkins was now a little dissatisfied, snapping back at him.
”Just name it! Goblins are known to have a very diverse evolution chart. I bet you'll be able to get something out of this.”
”what should the name be?”
They were both in deep thought. However, Michael then decided on something.
[Goblin name: Nemesis]
After the name was given, the goblin woke up. Looking at it's new master.
”Why that kind of name?”
”It's a name belonging to the god of vengance on my planet. And as it really didn't like you, I bet you are going to have a bad time later on.”
He then picked up the duck egg again, and letting Jenkins shot another black chain at it.
