"Mom, Can I keep him? pretty please?"

1 foot baby green, in her mother's arm, wrapped around in grey rugged cloak, spoke with quite an astonishing fluency.

"well... what do you think."

Mother rolled her eyes and looked at her mate.

"ah? I ... "

He scratched his head a bit, but then, when he saw his daughter's twinkle in her eyes,

He knew he only had one answer.

"No,"

"what!? How dare you! Dad!"

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding, my princess. you can keep it."

How on earth is this possible. I must have gone insane!

I thought the North Korea was invading, but now, all my superiors have just turned into goblins!!

I mean, I thought they sure as hell looked ugly, but jeez!

lunch that they gave out on my way here must've had some rotten shrooms or something.

that blackout must've been the kick. Its really hard to hear anything except them growling.

oh my god, are those rotten teeth? Man those are sharp.

it was obvious that it would be for the best that I keep my mouth shut until these effects wear off.

The big guy handed me over to the smaller guy, and in the smaller guy's arm, was an even smaller guy.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

he was wrapped in an eclipse looking ball.

You know, a circle, but an ugly one.

He stretched out his arm and touched my forehead.

Does he want a handshake?

I tried reaching my hand out, but couldn't. Or am I just numb on my limbs.

He slowly moved his fingers down to my cheek then pulled.

what the ... ?

Hi? I'm awake and well.

That's when I realized, it wasn't a shroom that got me.

I was bombed and lost too much blood to think straight.

That's probably why I am seeing these illusions.

"agh, wah, aarg.."

Oh man, they've sedated me already.

I guess that's why I couldn't move my arm in the first place.

"Oh, Mom! look at him. He is so cute!"

she took both of her arms out and softly massaged its cheeks.

Soft featherly hair combined with its juicy lump of youthful fat really was an addictive texture for that little girl.

"I am not sure if keeping this Sapiens baby is going to be good for her."

She gave doubtful looks on her child.

"What if she falls in love with these barbarian beasts?

I'm afraid she is too young and might be misled."

The Man standing next to her giggled.

"Oh, come on. Really? That's absurd. I think you are overthinking.

Besides, they usually don't last long when they are little.

We should be more worried about how we are going to deal with its death."

so the journey began.

It took me a while to realize my situation.

I thought I was seriously injured for couple days. and thus, why I couldn't stay awake seemed in order.

But even during the day when my mind was clearest, the sight of these green faces never seem to go away.

These goblins. Skinny as descripted in those books.

Why in the world have they not eaten me already.

Maybe they are not so evil after all.

Once in a while, little gobbo, (that's what I've decided to call this baby goblin.) would check up on me.

When I cry, it will feed me some murky liquid and, if I refused, it will shame me by unraveling my cloth,

and checking my butt for any leaks. But, little gobbo seemed to be growling more often lately.

"Mom, Dad, Do I really have to do all of it by myself?"

little gobbo lifted the baby by leg while holding her nose.

"eww. It smells gross. Why does he smell so bad?"

"well, greeny sunshine, you said you wanted to keep it, so you should take responsibility."

"Your mother's right. If you regret your life choices, you can always throw them in the pit."

Man shoved some more woods into fire, then walked to his mate.

"How far away are we?"

"You don't recognize? we are just half a day away."

"what? why did we stop then? It took us almost the entire day to start the fire!

we could've just returned home! We could've been sleeping in our bed instead of this dirt."

"well, you see..."

little gobbo looked at the fire, then looked back at the baby.

she picked up the baby. It looked back at her. It farted, then burped at her face.

"I can't. Its too cute!"

No clue what's so cute about that, but luckily she decided to keep him.
