---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the goblin guards down the corridor we pass through the storage room, past the kitchen room, past the breeding room, past the mining room, deeper into the cavern we go. Many winding turns and three more cavern rooms with boxes and materials, more storage rooms but the type of storage in these rooms is clearly what's been taken off of merchants since the materials are processed properly and don't look anything like inferior goblin production.
Were led into a large offshoot room with a large table and what looks like a throne, 'what's a throne' I think, the goblin in the big chair looks down on us. This large goblin gave off an air of superiority and evil, without realising my legs were shaking from his glare. I felt I was vulnerable against him
“Gyagyegyo” he speaks, other goblins reply and after a few minutes of talking he waves his hands and were led back the way we came, into the middle storage room led into two cages. The goblins lock us in and then walk away, not sure what's going on I ask Yuuka.
“What's going to happen to us Yuuka?”
“I'm not sure, I've never seen this, in the past some girls were taken and they never returned but we don't know what happened, maybe they plan on selling us off?”
We end up waiting in these cages for a few hours it seemed, until we heard footsteps, goblins coming down the hallway into the chamber, 4 small goblins plus the large goblin. The smaller goblins open up the cages and drag me and Yuuka away again behind the large goblin in a new direction into an offshoot room.
We are shoved in after the large goblin, inside there are a few girls lying around lifeless, some dead and decaying, a few others missing limbs, some alive but dead eyed and broken.
“Hii” I scream. Yuuka is just staring angrily around, suddenly it dawns on me why she looks so angry, these must be the girls she mentioned, maybe some of them were her friends and they were used and mutilated until they died or were nothing but a broken shell.
“You bastard!” yells Yuuka but one of the smaller goblins pushes her down and another bashes the back of her head with the butt of his spear.
'Guhah' exhales Yuuka as she is knocked to the ground.
Before I realise I'm being pushed down onto my knees too, tears streaming down my eyes, looking up at the large goblin picking up a cleaver and walking to us.
“Gyegyogyu”
The goblins holding down Yuuka suddenly lift her up and move her to a table with iron cuffs, clamping them around her limbs, securing Yuuka down onto the table. The large goblin starts to walk towards her slowly, enjoying the torment.
“Yuuka” I stare straight at her, profusely crying
“I love you Tsubasa” she smiles back
'Smash'
“ARGHHHHHHH!” screams Yuuka, down comes the cleaver on her left leg.
“Noooooo! Yuuka!”
'Smash'
'Gurgle' Yuuka vomits as her right leg is cleaved off.
“Yuuka” I meekly mumble through my tears and clenched teeth. Unable to do anything, why cant I do anything I beg, why can't I help? Don't take Yuuka away from me.
Before I realised the large goblin is using her legs to pleasure his grotesque member.
“You! I swear I'll kill you” I scream at the disgusting beast.
“Tsubasa”
“Yuuka”
“Please escape. 'cough' You have to live. Live for me 'cough' please Tsubasa” cries Yuuka as she tries to speak through the blood in her mouth.
I struggle to break free of the two goblins holding my arms, I manage to yank one arm free and spin my elbow into the second goblins face, the force causes him to release my second arm. Free of the goblins grasp I dash out of the corridor going back towards the storage room. Screaming can be heard from behind me but I keep going, for Yuuka sake I have to get out.
'Crack'
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
A spear butt comes out of nowhere and breaks my nose, with my vision becoming blurry from the force, my legs unsteady and wobbling I collapse, the two goblins catch up and drag me back to the chamber.
Inside Yuuka is missing one of her arms, as I'm thrown onto the side of the table, lifting myself up on to the table that Yuuka is on, I reach out and place my hands on Yuuka's head as I hold her.
“Yuuka, I'm sorry”
'Guhah. Cough. Cough' more blood comes out of her mouth straight into my face.
“Its okay Yuuka, I'm here for you! I will always love you!” I whisper as I kiss her blood stained lips, slowly I pull up smiling to her.
Yuuka smiles up at me, the cleaver comes down and off comes Yuuka's last arm, her smile distorts into a pained grimace.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!” my scream echoes around the cave, I feel my blood boiling, its so hot I feel like I'm burning, my stomach feels like its on fire. I buckle over in pain clutching at my stomach, this feels ten times worse than last night, the burning pain, my insides feel like their all on fire.
The large goblin is behind me in front of the other goblins laughing, enjoying the suffering we are feeling. I realise they must have know about what happened last night and this large goblin enjoys tormenting people, it makes sense that once he found out he would destroy any happiness.
The fire inside of me burns even brighter, now my lungs burn as well, my blood turned to fire, burning throughout my entire being. I turn to look at the goblin, he suddenly looks shocked at me when he looks into my eyes, in that instant I scream at him.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” with my scream comes fire, the loud scream accompanied by the fire suddenly spewing from my mouth shaking the cavern and burning everything in its path, the smaller goblins burning up quickly whilst the large goblin glares intently as he screams at me then he too burns up, leaving nothing but ash.
“ARGHH” a second scream but this time its due to the pain I'm feeling of my entire body burning up, pain one hundred times worse than what I felt before, as I feel like I'm being burnt to nothing but ashes, remade, then burnt to ashes again. This continues for what feels like eternity and from behind me I hear a name, I turn around and I see Yuuka.
“Tsubasa” says Yuuka with a smile
“Please escape. 'Cough' I'll be with you” she says with one final cough of blood. The light in her eyes fades away, left with a smile on her face as she stares at me, the pain slowly fades away replaced by sadness and tears.
'Hic. Waaaah.'
“Yuuka! Come back. Don't leave me!” I cry out. I reach out to touch her face, I feel her cheeks losing their warmth, I close her eyes with my hand and pull her to me, crying my eyes out.
'Hic. Sniff. Sniff'
I hear banging and footsteps as goblins seem to be coming towards this room, I have to leave I have to get out for Yuuka. I run out the door carrying the body of Yuuka, running down the corridors as fast as I can, no idea where I'm going, just any corridor I haven't down before will do.
Following the twists and turns I have no idea how I managed, but I turned time and time again on instinct and finally I managed to find a way out of the cave, on a hillside with the rising sun behind me, covered in blood with nothing but rags and carrying a human girl torso with no limbs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I keep running and running, through the morning and into the sunset, unwilling to stop, a single thought driving me on, I have to escape. Finally collapsing on a cliff side, who knows where, with the setting sun in front of me, I release Yuuka's body for the first time since getting out of the cave.
“I have to put you to rest don't I. Right Yuuka?”
Digging a grave in the sunset with my bare hands, not stopping even when my fingers started to bleed, picking up a rock nearby when my nails break off, desperately digging a hole out of the tough dirt.
“I'm sorry Yuuka, I hope you can forgive me for this” tears streaming down my cheeks as I lower Yuuka's body into the crude hole.
“I couldn't save you. I'm sorry Yuuka”
'Rustle. Rustle. Swoosh.' The sound of the wind almost sounding like
“I love you Tsubasa”
I carefully push the disturbed dirt back into hole, using my stone to mark its location, I fall to the ground, tears streaming down my face and falling into the freshly covered grave.
“Such a useless crude grave huh” I say as I slowly fall forward landing on top of Yuuka's grave, exhaustion taking over my weak body as I succumb to sleep, drifting off, dreaming of Yuuka.
