Chapter 4: Filthy Goblins Part 1

(Decided to post this to show this story ain't dead)

(3rd P.O.V)

Y/N ran through a thick layer of bushes and trees, the sounds of twigs snapping faintly covering someone's screams. "Sounds like girl." he thought. He kept following the sounds of the screaming until it suddenly stopped. But Y/N still had a rough idea of the direction it came from. After one final push through some leafage, Y/N saw something he was really hoping not to see. It was a goblin nest. There was a huge gaping black hole at the entrance, with some strange wooden structure located on the side that had some feathers on it.

Y/N had the strongest feeling that must've been where it was coming from. He looked around for anything to use as a weapon before going in. He spotted a rather thick looking stick that had a slightly spiked edge, laying across a few discarded brambles on the ground. He picked it up and looked into the dark abyss. "Ok. Ok. Ok. You can do this." He swallowed his fear and went inside.

The moment he went in, Y/N's sense of smell was assaulted by possibly the worst thing he had ever smelt. Whatever it was, was ghastly and decaying and it was practically hard to think about anything else while trudging through the cave.

One upside was that Y/an had incredibly good eyesight, so he really didn't need a torch to see around the place. While walking Y/N felt himself step on something somewhat soft but also rigid. He looked down and saw it was a goblin corpse. "Gh!" he almost fell backwards in shock. He looked further and saw there were more corpses lying around. "Definitely someone in here." However there was a problem up ahead. The tunnel split into three forks in the road. "Great, where do I go now..." he chose a direction, that being the middle one and decided to yell out.

"Hello! Anyone in here?" No answer. I continued forward, the smell of the place getting worse. Just when things seemed to be at ease, Y/N could hear something. It was footsteps and they where moving fast and coming right towards him. He raised his stick, preparing for the worst. Whatever was coming was practically there. He reeled the stick back and then- something crashed right into his abdomen. Y/N lost his footing and stumbled back, Y/N heard a high pitched scream from whatever hit him. He looked down and saw a girl with long blonde hair wearing some kind of white outfit that had hints of blue on it, wincing and rubbing her head.

Y/N tilted his head as he looked at her. "What the?"

The girl looked up at him and screamed while pushing herself against the wall of the cave. She started frantically waving a staff that she was holding in front of her. "S-stay back your monster!"

Y/N tried to walk closer without getting smacked by her staff. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, kid! Kid! Listen I'm not gonna hurt you."

The girl looked up up him with decimate surprise in her eyes. "Y-... you can talk?"

"What? Of course I can, why wouldn't I?"

The girl, kept her staff in front of her ready to smack him if he tried anything. "I just... didn't know goblins talked."

Y/N sighed. "I'm not a... well I'm not really a goblin... not fully." The girl looked at him slightly confused and still skeptical. Y/N just lowered his hand. "Kid, you gotta trust me, I'm not gonna hurt you." The girl began to slowly raise her hand. Just when Y/N was about to hold on, something small and scraggly tackled him to the ground.

The girl screamed. A goblin had tackled Y/N to the ground and was trying to gauge his face with a small Rusty blade. Y/N grunted and held the little monster away from his face. He tossed the creature against the cave wall and then booted it back again as it jumped at him again.

Y/N stood up and kept the girl behind him. "Just stay back!" The goblin looked at Y/N the scowl that was on its face was some replaced with a crooked grin. It started cackling when it got a good look at him. It got to the point where it started nearly hauling over with horrid laughter. The girl looked at the two somewhat intrigued and disturbed.

Y/N gritted his teeth. "Ok, enough of this." Y/N held up his stick and swiped it at the goblin. It jumped up against the wall and launched itself towards Y/N. Y/N uses the stick to block the goblins blade but it manages to pierce through it, just barely missing his chest.

Using all this arm strength he tosses it to the ground and kicked it the head sending it backwards. He then raises the stick behind him and smacked it right against the goblins head, leaving a big bloody spot in the spot.

The stick had spilt in half due the the impact though. Y/N was panting, looking down at the goblins motionless body. His body was shaking as he just stood there breathing heavily.

The girl looked at him. "Are... are you alright?"

Y/N swallowed. "Yeah, I'm fine... this is all just... first time 'n all." He glanced ahead into the dark cave. "Kid... why are you here anyway?"

"I was here with a friend of mine. We're... clearing out this nest of goblins.

"You?... well I suppose we'll have to find him.

The girl nodded. "Ok... um thank you for helping me. I'm Priestess. Who are you?"

"Well my name is Y/N."

"Oh... that's a... um, interesting name."

"Yeah yeah, I know... most people just call me, Goblin Boy though."
