《Heretic King》Chapter 1: And there was Light.
Advertisement
The sky began to darken as I begin my return from Harvey's DIY.
"Shit" I knew I should have brought an umbrella with me.
The weather has never been good in Ireland but it never changes this sporadically. I begin to jog with my new tools I got to fix my door after my roommate sent it off it's hinges in a drunken stupor last night. He'll probably still be passed out now. I chuckle thanking my lucky stars I was never one for alcohol. Although we Irish are famous drinkers I never really could handle my liquor.
While I was thinking that a loud thunderclap echoed behind me, afterwards I hear a growl that put my stomach to shame. Curious I look behind me.
I freeze.
Behind me I see a black mist rising from the grate next to the path as it slowly forms into the shape of a grotesque midget with an elongated nose and sharp pointed ears. The creature which I can only assume is a Goblin wore only a very worn loincloth and carried a thick club.
I stand there frozen thinking whether this is really happening. 'Did Connor slip something into my coffee before he passed out?' I can only speculate for a moment before the thing is charging at me screeching like a banshee.
I panic thinking of what to do, thinking of how I could fight it off. It quickly shortens the distance between us as we weren't far apart in the first place. Soon it is just 2 meters away. I struggle thinking of what to do. In the heat of he moment I let out two quick jabs which knocks the beast back. I take the opportunity while it's dazed to grab the screwdriver I just bought as I pierce for it's face. Luckily or unluckily the Goblin recovers at that moment and lifts it head up which causes my pierce to land on it's throat.

The goblin begins to gurgle blood as it tries to screech. As it loses blood it goes down on it's knees before I see life fade from it's eyes and collapses.
My mind blanks. I think of what just happened. 'No way, no fucking way! This is just a bad dream! Yeah that's it! I'll wake up to hear Connor banging around with a hangover and I can just laugh this off! Hahahaha!'
Before I can go further with my delusions, a box appears before me.
"Humans, I have grown tired of your cycle of insanity, of your wars, of your corruption of the fair Earth I created. If I had not intervened this land would have been destroyed and uninhabitable in no more than a century. Remember when you are cursing me Humans, This has been brought upon by you and your ancestors. Now you may hopefully see the light."
And then there was light.
