Before I get to the start of the story let me introduce myself.
I go by Bob on most site's, also in Irl I will respond to Bob despite it not even being close to my Irl name.
I enjoy writing and playing video games in particular strategy and action games. Am I good at video games, ha, Nope.
I do write another story. So I'm not completely new but by no means am I good at writing, it's a hobby of mine, I enjoy. I am not good at writing I'm ok at writing at best or so in my opinion but I do strive to get better as in all things. I was originally gonna write this where I write my other story but then I decided to give writing on RR a try as I read alotta stories on here. So here I am and now onto the story.
A blinding light Flooded my vision a Large pale green Pyre of Fire rose to the skies. My eyes burned, a searing which was not very welcoming to my return.
My return? I was here before. Who am I? Trying to recall Who I was my head started to beat like a drum as a migraine took over, leaving me unable to recall anything except Sorrow. Why sorrow, Of everything why was that what came to me of everything I could remember all I can remember is a feeling of sorrow.
Moving my hand up to rub my temples, My hand didn't respond but a pile of bones mashed together. Scanning over my body the same thing was repeated all over my body where skin and muscle were supposed to be, Bones took their place tightly wrapping around each other being held in place by a crudely made rope and at my feet was a small green creature in a headdress made from some large animals skulls as it completely engulfed its head hiding it from the view of others except for two Glowing yellow eyes that pierced through the skull. Its eyes shimmered with excitement, fear and reverence.
Looking around there were hundreds more of these little creatures all staring up at me with the same look on their faces. Dressed in various types of animal skins. Taking a step forward it was funny to watch as they all backed up in synchronization. Then a loud Screeching overtook the gathered Green things as they all waved makeshift clubs and staff in the air. Hearing a crackling of bones snapping there were several effigies similar looking to me strung about around me I would say 12 ish more around me and a couple that has fallen apart on the ground. They simply looked around for a little before getting down on their knees allowing a small green thing to walk up to them and paint a few markings atop of their skull. before standing up once more. Gazing at the small little thing in front of me it was tensing up in fear as it stared at me as the green things around it slowly readied their weapons as they moved their way around me. Soon a small plump green thing waddled its way over adorned in bone necklaces and a cane made of a twisted wooden root with a large eye adorned in its center.

"melgargr, Krish belk?" Staring up at me a few words that scratched my ears on the way out. They just sounded crude and forced.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what ya said there." As I responded to the little thing. The words came out slowly but they made their way out. Giving them quite a shock as they scrambled away. Rushing back with another but this one was only a few inches shorter than me and was wearing crude leather armour with a rusted sword in its hand. looking very similar to a human except for its pale green skin and blood-red eyes.
"Obey, Do you?" The words were familiar if not different. But they were understandable. But the meaning was preposterous it wanted me to obey, I LEORIC TO OBEY IT. I HAD KINGS BEGGING ME FOR MY SERVICE AND IT WANTS ME TO OBEY IT. Noticing it flinch back under my stare. it snapped me out of my stupor. With a single piece of information a name, My name.
"I will not Obey you, But I will stay and you will answer my questions in return for whatever you needed my help with. A simple exchange."
It stood there stunned as it squirmed, before nodding its head and beckoning me to follow it through the crowd. Following behind it, we arrived at a small wooden wall looking closer to a large wooden fence it opened up allowing us to enter. Which was quickly closed behind us, what was revealed to me was the remains of a town crumbling apart and many more of the little things scurrying about carrying materials and crudely made weapons to and from buildings.
Soon we arrived at a building in the center of the town with a high pitch screeching emanating from it. Being lead in there was many more of the taller green humanoids around a table yelling at each other in their language as the one I was following started talking to the others as all their attention became glued on my figure.
Soon the only one in the room in a robe and a large staff came over staring up at me.
"Questions, Ask."
"First off, Where am I and what are you."
Seemingly confused it gestured with its arms spread out. "We Goblin nation of twisted forest. Now you answer, Whats your beings name."
"Leoric. What do you need me and those others for."
"Protect, from humans they take us for the big portal, you stop."
"I'm guessing you just want me to beat them to death or something along those lines."
"Correct."
"I am not a fighter."
"Not fighter, Mage?."
"No."
"Scout?"
"No."
"Then what you."
What am I? I'm a bone golem for one. but what was I before, A human yes but I was more. Was I truly more. I don't know. It just doesn't seem right, I wasn't a mere mortal human I was beyond that. Just what?
"I think it broke."
"It broke, no response."
"One less strange one, Good?"
"Is good, This one asks too many questions."
"I AM NOT BROKEN. It's not my fault your pathetic minds can't see what I can."
Lowering it to the ground.
"If you need me, I will be somewhere around." Glancing at their raised weapons I just shook my head.
"And as this is now we won't get anywhere."
