A new home
Kyros was standing on the outcropping of the tunnel he had just come out of behind him.
The Red Badlands was truly a sight he thought.
Kyros looked out towards the massive cave that was known as the Red Badlands it was a mix of dangerous species, fungal forests, ruins and magma pools also it was known as the “Red” Badlands because the cave ceiling was a red colour stone colour.
Kyros took off his backpack and pulled out the map he had stolen relieved from the Duergar.
He could see a poorly detailed outline of the Badlands but he could also see that there was a Drow border town a couple of tunnels away from where he was standing. It could be a useful supply point for him in the future”
What to do… what to do… I first need to find somewhere to live it needs to be defensible, close to the cavern wall and solitary so no one finds me. But first things first let’s get down from this ridge.” The ridge was about 20 meters above the cave floor I slowly started to climb down fortunately there were plenty of cracks in the stone. So the descent when fairly quickly after the first meters.
I finally reached the cave floor my arms ached from the climb but I had to push forward and find suitable lodging while I slept otherwise some predators could attack me while I was slept and that would be very unfortunate indeed. Maybe I could get some gladiators in that town I saw on the map to defend me while I worked? Oh yeah I almost forgot I barley have any money… a life of total luxury will do that to you. Maybe I could hunt some beasts and sell the pelts? Eh we’ll see.

Kyros had been walking beside the cavern wall for a while when he saw the lights of a campfire
Ahead he crouched and started to sneak closer. He stood by one of the massive mushroom trees that were common underground. He took a closer look, what he saw were 3 goblins sitting outside a cave entrance. These goblins were probably guards, the main horde and chieftain would be inside.
From what Kyros had read was that Goblins were notoriously stupid and always followed the strongest among them even warriors from other race as long as they were the strongest.
These Goblins would prove very useful for Kyros if he could kill their leader he would become their chieftain and then they would follow him with absolute loyalty.
The goblins were half asleep when Kyros advanced on them from behind he had a knife in his left hand and his saber in the right. He stabbed the Saber through the goblin on the right and at the same time he sank his knife straight into the neck of the goblin on the left. The goblin sitting in the middle screaked in surprise. But before he could swing his short spear Kyros had grabbed the Goblin with the short spear by the throat and lifted him upwards.
He looked into the terrified goblins eyes “look here you little greenshit after I let you go you will run inside and tell your boss that he should come out here and face me for the leadership of this pile of shit that you call a tribe” nod if you understand the goblin had dropped his short spear and was clawing the hand around his throat for air. But when Kyros was done speaking he nodded furiously.
Kyros dropped him the goblin gasped for air and then ran into the cave. Kyros knew he would have to prepare in case this leader was a challenge for him so he put down a magic explosive trap 2 meters in front of where Kyros would be standing. He also picked up the three goblin short spears he would hopefully be able to throw one against the chief before he closed the distance.

After a minute he could hear the sounds of people sprinting inside the cave looked like there would be a party. Kyros could also hear a pair of heavy footsteps perhaps this was the chief?
Soon a small horde of goblins poured out of the cave they formed up in a mob in front of the cave entrance and then Kyros saw the chief it was a giant Ogre perhaps this would be fun after all…
The Ogre stepped through the lines of goblins about 10 meters away from Kyros
“WHO DO YA THING YU ARE LITTLE MAN I AM GNOBLIB DE STONE CRUSHA DE LEADA OF DA BAD LANDS RULER OF THESE LANDS” Kyros tuned out the screaming ogre it was not worth his time instead Kyros prepared he could feel the adrenaline tuning his senses he was ready he weighed the goblin Short spear in his hand it was a poor excuse for a spear but it would serve its purpose.
The Ogre was still screaming at him Kyros simply in one motion lifted the spear in one second aimed for half a second and threw the Spear went straight into the ogres chest. The ogre stopped his speech for a second and then simply said “NOW YA DONE IT I’LL BASH YUR HEAD IN AAAAAH”
The Ogre then charged straight into the magical explosive trap it went off perfectly the ground was torn asunder and the Ogre was sent flying back while burning.
Kyros simply drew his saber and started running he and jumped over the crowd of goblins onto the ogre and stabbed him in the eye he twisted the blade and pushed it further into his head through his the brain and then the back of the skull. A second later a geyser of blood and gore sprayed Kyros his long white hair was now a dark red colour making him look like a devil his grin made some of the younger goblins faint.
Kyros stood up and spoke “I AM KYROS THORN I AM NOW THE IMPERATOR OF THIS TRIBE YOU FOLLOW ME NOW ANYONE WHO DISAGREE WILL DIE”
The goblins simply looked to each other and one after another started to kneel before their new leader,

Will You Be Alone? After The End? Don't You Know We're All Still Here?
More than a century ago the world was devastated, but that doesn't matter. Nobody cares about the past, stories from that time are as wildly conflicting as they are ridiculous--when any stories exist at all. There are problems in the here and now that need to be dealt with, bringing the past into things isn't going to help anyone. The fact is that young people all over the world are developing mysterious powers, and the public reactions to these powers are far from positive. Fair enough, you might say. Who wants a young man around who can conjure heat from the palm of his hand? How deeply undesirable is a girl who can bend your emotions to her will? What use, I ask you, is a girl whose very essence crackles with lightning? No use at all, I'd say. As for this so-called Mr Fin and his grand ideals, well, all I can say is that his clothing is of better quality than his plans. Vague allusions to a 'sanctuary' and a 'mysterious and powerful statue' are all very well, but when it comes to solid results I fear you may find him somewhat lacking. Mark my words and mark them well, following one such as him will only lead to tears. All in all, I'd say there's not much you could reasonably expect from a world such as this. Conflict, perhaps. Hardship, certainly. Despair, heartache, loss... ...hope? No, don't be ridiculous. Where could one find hope, in this ruin of an existence? Honestly, I am asking. Where?Discord
