11 Sun Soakers (1/2)
Lurk continued to test his magic ability with nothing else to do, though he felt he should stick to wind magic. It was at least somewhat hidden. During the journey the goblins paused and started to eat. He was starving but he was also concerned. What do goblins eat? Well if what he would guess at - Anything, everything and... Everyone. The other baskets began to be noisy once food was in sight/smell range.
”””Food! Gob! Food!””” (Goblin spawnlings)
”..ehh..Food!..Food!” (Lurk)
Lurk sighed inwardly and decided to join the noisemakers, as it would be the only way to make sure that the goblins might know when someone was fed or not. He doubted their child caring abilities to the max. Eventually a good sized piece of meat was thrown into the basket. Lurk looked at the meat and sighed.
(”...I really hoped for something non meat.. for all I know this could be a former person...”) (Lurk)
Lurk touched the meat gingerly, meanwhile in the other baskets the sounds of gnawing and chewingwas heard. Just as he touched it Menu interjected with a message.

(”..Thank you dear Menu.. I retract almost all the bad thoughts I had about you... So the progenitor ability can check other species too.”)
Now feeling a bit better about what he was gonna put in his mouth, he began eating it.
(”Its sad to eat uncooked meat, ahh... I will never eat proper cooked food again.. goodbye my favorite pizzeria.. I will miss you.. Lasagna and Chicken.. I think I will miss you most of all..”)
The meat vanished quickly, and Lurks stomach made all kinds of sounds as he was finished. He could literally feel his body absorbing what he ate at record speed. Goblins definitely had a fast metabolism. He was sure he was skipping months of growth a normal human baby had to do in hours.
He continue to train in wind magic, as the goblins took off again and after several hours the night sky vanished from the baskets view being replaced by rocky caves with roots on the walls and floors.
The cave passage expanded slowly until it opened up into a large room, the sound of water and also the sound of goblins shrieking heard. When Lurk managed to look out, it seemed Vrek was in the middle of proving that this cave was now under his leadership, using a impressive political campaign of stabbing the goblins that were already in here, till the rest agreed. He managed to do it by 2 goblins.
A deep crack about 5 feet wide in the room had running water about 10 feet down in the gash, several pieces of wood and sometimes planks were placed over the crack. the walls were covered in roots and had many horizontal cracks of varying sizes down the walls. At the back of the room was a particularly large root that had made a sort of miniature room beneath it. A ordinary dinner chair was placed inside with many bones and pieces of broken weapons placed around it. Near it were the two dead goblins that failed to see Vrek's great leadership abilities and Vrek promptly sat down on this ”throne” and began giving out orders.
Once he got to sorting out the goods and organizing where everyone was to go and stay. Vrek came to Lurks basket he looked down into it and picked Lurk up by his neck.
”..Frel!.. Gegege! Got one for the Sun Soakers here!..” (Vrek)
Vrek then threw Lurk over to a goblin that managed to catch him by his arm, this goblin was fairly human looking as opposed to other goblins, he was wearing a wolf pelt on his body along with rags and leather with the head of the wolf acting as a helmet his yellow eyes that examined Lurk briefly before nodding at Vrek and returning his look to Lurk.
”You are now part of my Sun Soakers gegege, I am Frel. What is your name spawnling?” (Frel)
