Hey guys. Here is a chapter for today. Pardon me, if the chapter is a bit short but I'll make the next one a bit longer than usual to make up for this. Anyway enjoy!

Ryu started running towards the forest. He was excited at the thought of meeting other people. This was because Ryu had been stuck in the underground tunnel for almost two weeks. Now that he had come into what appears to be the outside world, Ryu is beyond excited as this means that he can go home. As he was running towards the direction of the smoke from the forest, he tripped on a rock and fell on his face, "OWWWWW!!"

He slowly sat up and rubbed his face. He had a small cut on his cheek and his nose was bruised. As he was sitting there and rubbing his nose, his mind began to clear up. The excitement began to cool down and his head began to clear. He went over all the events so far. There were goblins in the tunnel. Could it be that they came from this place? As Ryu was thinking, he suddenly realized that the goblins had fruits and nuts. This forest probably had fruit trees and nut trees as well. If so, then this would most likely be the home of those goblins. If this happened to be true, then Ryu would be in a lot of trouble. Having had his head cleared up, Ryu slowly collected himself and then stalked off into the forest.

Somewhere deep in the forest

A squad of goblins were walking through the jungle. There were about 60 goblins. There were two distinct types of goblins in this group. First was the goblins that looked weak and frail. These goblin made up the majority, with there being close to 45 of these goblins. The 2nd group consisted of goblins that were armed and looked ready for battle. These were the rest of the goblins, which was about 15. In the second group, there were goblins with heavy armour on, goblins in robes with staffs, and goblins with bows and arrows. In the middle of this group there was a goblin that stood out amongst the rest. It was a goblin that was almost 5 feet tall. It’s skin was dark brown and had red patterns on its right arm. This particular goblin also had tiny horns coming out of it’s forehead. It also carried a dark red heavy sword. The other goblins kept a respectable atmosphere around this goblin and acted like they were under it’s command. As they were slowly moving through the jungle, a shadow suddenly leaped from the trees above and crashed into the goblins.

ROAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

A couple normal goblins died instantly. The rest began to attack the shadow. A few goblin soldiers swung their swords and they were blocked by teeth and claws. A tail with scales swung out and struck one of the goblin soldiers, sending it flying and crashing into a tree making a storm of leaves fall and obscure the scene. As the leaves fell and the scene was visible again, there was a group of goblins surrounding a cat like beast with scales. The cat was snarling and growling at the goblins. The unique looking goblin marched towards the cat and swung his sword at it. The cat lashed out with its claws and hit the sword head on. The sword and the claws unexpectedly clashed and ended in a tie. The cat launched its tail at the goblin. The goblin just smiled and shouted, "RAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

His sword glowed red and the sword cut through the cat’s claws like a hot knife through butter. The sword didn’t stop after cutting through the cat’s claws and continued on its path and tore the cat in half. The cat’s scales was only able to stop the sword for a fraction of a second. As the sword tore through the cat’s body, it was bisected into two parts and the two parts crashed onto the ground.

The other goblins watched in awe. The common goblins especially were shocked by this goblin’s feat. As they stood there in amazement, the goblin turned towards them and roared, "You lot!! Get back in formation! We are close by and we need to hurry up! Help those who are injured and leave the dead behind! Those of you who are free, go skin that armoured cat. We can use some more supplies."

The armed goblins replied,, ""Yes, Commander!""

The goblin commander snorted and helped up the goblins who were knocked over from the cat’s attack. Some of the goblins were helping the injured goblins, while others were mourning the dead. Some of the goblin soldiers that were free went over to the armoured cat corpse and started salvaging supplies from it. After they were all done, the group began moving. On the move, the normal goblins began to talk about the fight that just occurred.

A random goblin asked, "Did you see that commander just now? Nobody else was able to do anything against that armoured cat but that commander just sliced it in half in one blow."

Another goblin replied, "Yeah, he was just like Whoosh and the cat was like Snarl and the cat just died like that. It was sooo cool!"

One of the goblin soldiers snorted, "Obviously. who did you think our commander is. He is one of the 3 great goblin commanders. Only the goblin general and goblin king is above him. And even compared to the other goblin commanders, our lord is strong. "

A random goblin was awed, "Woahh!! Soo Strong!"

One of the goblin soldiers had a proud smile on his face. "Yeah. Our lord Firesword is super strong."

As the goblins continued to talk they reached a palisade that was about 20 feet tall. The wall was primarily made of stone with wood interwoven in between, providing additional defense. There were guard towers behind the palisade overlooking it and the goblins in the towers noticed the group of goblins. A goblin in one of the towers spotted Firesword and he shouted, "The lord is back. Open the gates!"

The gates began to slowly open. Firesword stood in front of the gates and walked in with the group trailing behind him. Greeting him was a group of armed goblins. These goblins looked far stronger and deadlier than the goblin soldiers. One of them stepped forward and saluted to Firesword, "Reporting to Commander. Lord Frostsickle sent a messenger stating that he wishes to send a joint raid group to conquer the Deadly Caverns. He is also seeking the help of Lady Ghostblade. "

Foreword snorted, "Hmm. Reply that we will decide at the half-yearly meeting."

The Goblin knight saluted again, "As you wish."

Saying this, Firesword led all the goblins inside and the gates closed behind him with a boom.

The Entity hovered over the forest. Yet it seemed like nothing could detect it.

Entity snickered, "Huhuhu, the fun begins right now kid. What will you do?"

Anyway. I can't believe how many people voted little sister because they want to see some action in the future. Just saying this upfront, NO SIBLING ACTION!!! Probably. Maybe. Huhuhu. I mean NO. ARRGHHHHHH!!! Now look what you guys have done. Your comments are actually making me consider it!

Sorry for my rant. Have a nice day!
