After getting a map from the adventurers guild i proceeded towards the forest i had slept in last night, by some bizarre coincidence it turned out the goblins nest was about 20 metres behind the tree i had slept in last night. Slowly approaching the mouth of the cave i began to hear the growls of the goblins as well as tears and cries for help, walking cautiously i peared round the corner of the cave, what i saw disgusted me.
In the middle of the cave was an elfish girl who loòked to be about seven years old wearing ripped clothing and surrounding her were hoards of excited goblins, trembeling with rage i yelled "cover your ears." The girl being the only one to understand human language immediately did so and then i screamed, the goblins fell to the ground and the cave trembled about to collapse.
Running as fast as i could i picked up the elfish girl who still had her hands on her ears and ran out the cave, it was at that minute the cave collapsed. Breathing heavily i collapsed on the ground the young girl lying next to me "whats your name?" I asked "l..luna" she said through sobs "please dont sell me i know im a girl but i can be useful i promise." I shook with anger and disgust how dare they, how could anyone be so cruel to a little girl, i will protect her, she will become strong and never need to worry about discrimination again.
"Its ok," i soothed "im a girl to, my name is banshee im an adventurer and from now on you are under my protection, understand?" Luna looked at me smiling "ok" happy with the smile i spoke to her again "luna, how did you end up in the hands of those goblins, do you have a family i can take you to?" Luna suddenly gasped "please ill tell you anything you want but please help my little sister, shes in the middle of town and starving, she has black hair and blue eyes and het name is Alexis."
Looking at her worried face i agreed, "ok but in the meantime please find somewhere we couĺd stay in this forest, ill bring Alexis to you and we'll meet up here, ok?" Luna nodded in conformation and i took off to the centre of town. After wondering around for ten minutes i saw a group of boys about ten years old standing over a small girl with black hair and blue eyes who looked to be about five years old.

"Alexis," i called out to check if my hunch was correct, the little girl ran over to me and the boys started backing away bending down i whispered in Alexis's ear "im a friend of Lunas I've come to take you to her." Nodding her head Alexis grabbed my hand and followed me as i walked back into the forest giving the group of boys a death stare.
As we approached the forest Luna ran outof the trees "thank you thank you thank you." I looked at Luna in surprise "its ok but in return will you tell me why you were with those goblins?" Luna nodded but first gestured for me to follow, as we followed Luna we went deep into the forest until she came to a tree with giant roots. Built into the roots was a small door and as i walked through it i saw a large hollow beneath the roots with three beds made from moss in the corner and flowers all over the wall.
"I hope its ok for somewhere to stay, my specialties nature magic." I grinned at Luna and Alexis "its perfect." Sitting down on one of the bed i stared at luna as she and Alexis sat down and began to speak "Me and Alexis are orphans and we were quickly running out of food due to this i was forced to steal, yesterday i went to the castle to steal some food when i saw an empty room filled with food however when i entered there was a young man hidden inside, they said he was a summoned hero and it was a great crime to steal from him, so they asked him what to do with me and he said to sell me to the slavers and give him the money, only the slavers caravan was attacked by goblins and thats how you gound me with those goblins."
I stared at Luna in horror, they would pay for this, they would all pay but first i would see who my first target was "Luna the hero who captured you, what did he look like?" Luna thought for a minute "he had blond hair and green eyes." I snarled i knew who she was talking about, his name was Micheal and he took pleasure in seducing girls with boyfriends and then dumping them, he would pay if it was the last thing i did.
