"Good morning children, i am quite pleased to introduce you to two quite interesting children! If you would please tell us a bit about  yourselves?" -Lazarus

The children went wide eyed for a second, some with fear, some with hatred, and others with curiosity. These "Children" looked like goblins, the monsters that mothers would tell children would nab them if they were not good. Well, if half the children here even had parents. 

"Yes sir. My name is Gobgob, as you can see i am a goblin, but i hope this would not be an issue. I like to read, and my role model is Thog." -Gobgob

Lazarus went pale for a second, and so did the children. Did Gobgob just say Thog was his role model....?

The children went pale for an unrelated reason, everyone in town knew of Thog, there were rumors of him bringing dragons, balors, and even the teacher was dragged in here by Thog. Some even said that Thog was the secret ruler of the town with the help of his elven minion, ruling with an iron fist not even the Regent could stop. 

"Um... My name is Hobgob, i like cooking, cleaning, and practicing magic. I dont really have a role model, and my dream is to someday become a house wife. *Blush*" -Hobgob

This shocked the children, this goblin was a bit too normal. Well except the part about practicing magic, everyone could practice magic, but it was really boring and full of technical talk. 

"Very good children, why dont you sit next to Jane?" -Lazarus

A little girl smiled and waved at the goblin children, the children took a seat right next to the girl.

"Hi Gobgob, and Hobgob! My name is Jane, i hope we can become friends!" -Jane

"Like wise" -Gobgob

"Yes, i hope we become friends as well!" -Hobgob

The children smiled at each other. 

"Yes, yes. now if you would please pay attention, i am about to start class!" -Lazarus

The lecture was interesting to the children and the two kept excellent notes on the subjects, however the other children looked bored, few rather almost fell asleep.

Soon, it was lunch break. The children were quite enthusiastic, the goblins were a bit disappointed tho. 

During lunch, a snotty looking child with two following behind him walks over to the goblins. 

"Well if it isn't a couple goblins, what are you even doing here. My dad told me that goblins were stupid pests only worth stabbing with a sword." -Snot nosed brat.

The goblins looked at Jane with a puzzled look on there face

"I thought everyone here was an orphan?" -Gobgob

"Oh, Mr. Lazarus opened the school to all children of the city." -Jane

"Stop ignoring me, you little shits!" -Idiot brat

The snot nosed brat slapped Hobgob in frustration. 

The girl layed on the floor and began crying. 

"Ha, that will teach you to ignore people when they are talking to you!" -Snot nosed kid

"umm... you just hit a girl!" -brat's follower

"And i will hit another one if you dont shut up!" -Idiot brat

Gobgob was infuriated, more so then he had been in his entire life. "What would Thog do in this situation?" the goblin asked himself. Actually, he knew exactly what Thog would do. The boy started glowing with red energy.

"Wha... What the hell are you doing!" -Soon to be injured brat

Lazarus was calmly drinking tea in his office when he heard a crash. he also saw a certain snot nosed brat fly through his office and land on the couch in front of him. This startled him a bit.

He peered through the small boy shaped hole in the wall and saw a goblin on the ground crying, and another covered in magical energy.

"Could you please come to my office Gobgob, and Hobgob?" -Lazarus

Gobgob paled a bit, and Hobgob stopped sobbing, but she still had tears running down her face.

"Yes sir...." -Gobgob

"Yes sir....*snif*" -Hobgob
