So today is apparently the day they come back for some more goblins. Every seven moons or so they say. The chieftains are giddy to rid themselves of the human menace. Getting goblins in positions since the moment the spot was ready all in wait for the Metal bird to show up. I've made my stops at places continuously checking to make sure everything is ready and the few women that will be leaving know. Each one chosen due to something I need from them 2 of the woman are pregnant with the different goblins known as variant goblins as one of the books has called them. Goblins are known to have variant tribes. It doesn't explain what causes it, just they do. Book's which are supposed to hold answers to your questions and valuable information, But no these books only hold basic information which could all be put into a book about basics like for example the book Monsters of the promthian has an entire page with Beware the Gruffalo. I have no idea what this Gruffalo is supposed to look like only just beware or how to avoid it, Just Beware. Fucking useless!
Taking a breath I had rounds to make. I had no time to get upset over such a trivial thing, despite how valid my point may be.
Looking to the sky as I moved to the village center hoping to catch a glimpse of the mettle bird they travel in. The area surrounding me looked as if nothing changed. Which I found very surprising comparing it to the small huts they have built which looked ready to fall apart. It was a wonder how they did this at an acceptable level. I am worried that they have someone watching the goblins from somewhere, but I have told the goblins to move some of their valuables down there, hoping it's enough to fool them as it seems these goblins aren't smart enough to set off a trap. Then again maybe goblins have in the past so I better be ready the moment they show.
It is nearing the end of the day and they have not shown up yet. It is slightly worrying that they haven't. But from what the goblins say they have shown up every week before nightfall. I have made my rounds everything is ready everything is in place. I just need to be patient.
The sound of the wind being beaten shocked me out of my stupor as I stared off into the sky in a trance. They have arrived, Abliet a little late as the moon is high in the sky now. But this will have to work.

Getting up I pushed my way through the goblins that were rushing around getting to the places they were supposed to be. Arriving just outside their little makeshift brothel. I just had to wait for a little more it just has to land, The moment it lands. Checking the bag hung over my shoulder along with checking the cloak wrapping around me was in place secured tightly. I am ready to leave.
As it got close to the ground blinding lights lit up all around the metal bird illuminating the surrounding area as if it was day. Then once again the same scenario started repeating its self. The men hoped out of the metal bird and secured the area. Queuing my turn to act. Swinging open the door to their brothel. I was shocked to see 4 women standing there with small packs and cloaks of their own standing there ready to leave. I couldn't help check behind them to be greeted by a blood bath as more than half the women in there were laying in a pool of blood and the other half were cowering in a corner or laying on the ground as unresponsive as always.
How? Scanning the women up and down they had no magic radiating from them. But they all held in their hands one of the small crossbows. But there was no noise Was there a bang? Whatever more questions for later I can't waste my time.
"Follow me." Quickly moving along the side of the wall I made my way to the wall. Upon reaching the wall. Not a single goblin was atop it.
"It seems like they are fully committing to it. I didn't think they would have listened in pulling all of them."
Turning around I got down on one knee. "Ok, up ya go." Looking at their hesitant appearances. It's confusing you offer a form of salvation to people and they don't know if they should take it. To go back to what they know or what they were forced into because of the fear of the consequences or failure, Or maybe they fear if it's better with the goblins than with me.
"Will you let me lift you over or will I have to throw you over or do you want to know of the consequence of your action by killing those other women in their the goblins wouldn't like that." Glancing at the woman, one stepped forward. Nodding at me as opened her mouth pointing into her mouth.
"Not Yet, Once we are out of here I will heal you." Sending me a glare she stepped onto my outstretched hand then onto my shoulder before pulling herself onto the small platform along the wall. "Next." Quickly they repeated until all four were on the wall. Pulling myself up I lowered them onto the ground outside the wall hoped over and ran the simple part of the plan to create as much distance as we could. The only problem was humans have a finite amount of stamina before they get tired. Meaning I will have to carry multiple people once they get tired. Hopefully, we will reach the first checkpoint without any hiccup.
