Good news, Aegeon found the den, bad news, it was packed to the brim with the disgusting little creatures and worse was that they had a war chief as a leader.
A goblin war chief was a bigger uglier goblin the size of an ogre, usually they only presided over medium sized tribes, which was why it was such a surprise to find him in a smaller tribe.
Fun. His lips twitched Well it's never too late for Aegeon to click his red heels and think that there's no place like home.
How the hell do you know that. He shook his head focusing on the important things, should he? He touched his throat, he couldn't even see Sir Gideon cut off his head, he didn't even feel it, could he really fight a war chief unscathed? Even the old bastard wasn't necessarily defeated by him, he only stood his ground.
He shrugged; you only live once.
Not that the saying applied to him, He smirked, his hand outstretched, lightning forming at his fingertips, frying the snow and air around him, the scent of ozone filling the area.
He prayed to his god, promising them this victory, his eyes opened lighting flashing in his pupils, he stood before the entrance his steps light and fast.
"Intruder" the intelligible goblin probably said, pointing at him with its tiny spear, the two guards at the entrance roared and charged, a third behind him grabbed a small horn from their waistband and signaled the horn.
He swatted its tiny spear and impaled it in the head skewering both goblins on his lightning spear, before pulling it back and throwing it towards the third, the spear whizzed before striking the other in its forehead.
Aegeon shoulder charged the little gate that they had, his eyes scanning the area, it was a small goblin tribe, huts scattered about, a covered campfire in the middle, and the goblins mingling with each other.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
To the goblins, he probably looked like the monster, an invader trampling on their peace, there was no pity in Aegeon's mind the only good goblin is a dead one.
So, he killed, and killed, and he killed some more, they rushed to the armory, to get armed to repel this intruder, but Aegeon didn't care, the thought that the goblins could breath the same air as him infuriated him.
Aegeon struck one down after the other and when he was done, he burned their tents.
Five quickly surrounded him, as the others struggled to put out the fires, he twirled his spear, the lightning singing the surroundings, he stabbed towards the first goblin, it tried to block only to fail and get stabbed in the throat, he pulled back and blocked an attack from another goblin, its blade melting from Aegeon's spear, Aegeon swiped impaling its knee, before pulling it back and stabbing another goblin, the last goblin turned and ran.
"HUMAN WHY HAVE YOU INVADED US" The footsteps of the War chief seemed to shake the earth with each step.
"Does man need a reason to kill beasts?" He readied his spear and looked at the war chief, a big, towering goblin with a giant club, dressed in cloth, scars all over his body and a harness made from bones.
Aegeon prayed silently dedicating this victory to his god.
"You humans are all the same, arrogant with nothing to back it." The goblin growled, he swung his giant club, the force tearing the wind around him, Aegeon dodged, a crack in the floor where he had been.
The goblin laughed "Run little man, run" It smiled, its ugly canines poking out.
Aegeon twirled his spear and jumped, the goblin tried to swat him and connected, Aegean crashed into a tree, he coughed out lightning.
One more hit like that, and I'll die
He wiped his mouth from the nonexistent blood, getting up readying himself a spear formed in his right hand, his body feeling sore all over.
"Puny human" The goblin laughed, its massive body undulating.
Aegeon chuckled, throwing the spear
He flashed and caught the spear as it was about to be swatted, he turned and dodged the giant club, stabbing the giant goblin in the shoulder, he left the spear there and rolled out of the way, he stood up letting the spear dissipate and reappear in his hand.
Thank god, goblins didn't wear armor.
"AHHH" the goblin roared, "so the little mosquito has a sting" He stomped his feet and readied to swing again, Aegeon glided under his club, and swiped at his feet making it bleed, the goblin stumbled back swinging again.
Aegeon rolled out of the way and threw his spear, the goblin hit it out of the way, the War Chief growled "Stay still puny human" He swung again from his left side, Aegeon knew blocking it meant death so he dodged to the side, attacking the goblins hand, he then pulled it back and threw a spear at his shoulder, he could feel his divinity slowly depleting, he had to end this quick.
The goblin started to breath heavy, it was wounded all over, offense Aegeon thought, his body heavy his muscles sore, he was tired.
This needed to end, and it needed to end fast, Aegeon once again jumped up, this time twisting his body to dodge the goblins swing, he stepped on the club and jumped up stabbing the goblin chief in its eye, he pushed back on his head and jumped backwards as the goblin tried to grab him.
The goblin pulled out Aegeon's spear and tossed it to the ground.
He could feel it, he was one hit away from killing the giant goblin, just when he thought victory was in hand.
He rushed forward to get the final hit; the goblin swung unexpectantly.
oh shit. Was the last thing he thought before his vision went dark.
