[Day 22]

One opened his eyes and looked at everyone and smiled. Seconds later his eyes then became dilated and his body pale.Their big brother's lifeless body laid on the bed. The cave echoed with goblins bawling with grief. I told the goblins to gather dry wood and stack them together. Mojo carried One's body and gave it to me to put it on top of the of the stacks of dry wood. I gave each goblin a torch that I had found inside the armory. We each lit our torch and one by we tossed the torch besides the dry wood to say our farewell. As each goblin say their goodbye to their beloved big brother, they make a promise. All goblins had similar promise;To be strong enough to defend the life of their siblings. I promise to make sure that they fulfill their promise. I threw my torch on top of the dry stacked wood besides One's body. We all watched as One's body burn. I secretly kept a piece of One. I kept it because i was curious about the ability that would learn I ate a piece of him. I secretly went somewhere far and consumed it.

Ability [Everlasting Longevity] learned.

Ability [Keen Reflexes] learned.

I was surprised with the ability that I obtained from consuming a piece of One. It seems that One was a mortal but he would have been able to out live all of us if he had still lived.

After the funeral ceremony we returned to the cave and began our daily routine. We ran to the goat mountain but this time I told each goblin to kill their own goat. I observed each goblin as they fought. Mojo's speed had improved though his strength was something to be noticed. He killed a goat by grabbing it and slamming it on the ground. The next was Buttercup. Her speed grew alarmingly. She killed the goat by cutting it throat with in a minute. Blossom had done the same thing and her speed matched the speed of Buttercup.

Then it was the turn of the five new goblins. Brock who i named because of his squinty eyes was persistent. It took him a while to kill one but he used his goat horn effectively by stabbing the goat on the chest. Ash was the same with Brock but he kept changing goats until i told him to stick to one then he was finally able to kill a goat. Dash was the fastest male goblin among them. He would jump on the goat then stab it till it died. Bunny was fast and strong, though she could be better with a bit more training. Bubbles was fast but lack ed stamina. We ended up using most of the day in the goat mountain. I decided for us to return back home. I told them to make a a line as i assigned them new weapons and armors from the cave's armory. I gave Buttercup and Blossom each a steel buckler and a short sword. I gave Mojo a big round shield and a hammer. Mojo's shield was big enough to cover three goblins. I gave him that shield because he was able to lift it. The five goblins i gave bows and quivers of arrows. Since they still lacked training, I decided for them to be the support. I then gave everyone each a leather armor. After assigning weapons and giving them armors we went to sleep.

[Day 23]

I decided for us to start training with weapons. I made a mini range just for the five new goblins so they can practice their archery inside the cave. I then trained Mojo, Buttercup and Blossom separately from the five new goblins. First i taught them their stance and job during a hunt. I told Mojo that he is a tank. I told him that his job is to charge in first with his big round shield. I instructed Buttercup and Blossom to be behind Mojo's shield when the battle begins. I told Buttercup and Blossom that when Mojo is close enough to the enemy, That they'll spring out of Mojo's shield and attack the enemy. We practiced the scenario over and over until it was time to sleep.

[Day 24]

I left the five new goblins in the cave to practice their archery. Mojo, Blossom, Buttercup and I went out to the forest. I decided to practice the three goblins with real enemies. We saw a Purple Snake. As we had practice yesterday Mojo charged first with his shield. Then when he got close enough, Blossom and Buttercup came out with their shield and sword. The Purple snake had no chance and was brutally killed. It was overkill. We kept hunting till dusk and brought back the kills. I taught Mojo, Buttercup and Blossom how to prepare the meat. Using some few arrows we roasted the meat on an open fire. Everyone ate together and afterwards we went to sleep.

[Day 25-28]

I noticed that the five new goblins became pretty good marksmen after two days. I took out all the goblins to hunt. I decided that we would go to the Blue monkey's tree house.

I equipped my self with two short swords and a leather armor. It would take four days to travel to the tree house. So we brought only four bags of water container and a set of flints to cook our food. I led the group while behind me were the five archers and behind them were Mojo, Blossom and Buttercup.

Along the way we killed some creatures that we already encountered and ate them.

I devised a tactic which we would use. Archers would be in the back shooting their arrows while Mojo defended them from in coming attack. Blossom and Buttercup would go on offense and kill with their speed. We practiced this tactic as we moved towards the tree house.

Once we arrived I told the goblins to wait while i observed and the conduct a plan of attack. I told them if something happens, attack all the monkeys without mercy. I sneaked above the trees. There were Blue monkeys everywhere. I used [Conceal Presence] and [Hide] while i sneaked around. I managed to enter the tree house and there inside is a big Green monkey. I suspected him to be the leader. As i observed i saw someone familiar. It was the female human whom i ordered to retrieve her valuable things. The female human and the big Green Monkey was using her provocatively. It was not a pretty sight. I decided to sneak outside but then the big Green Monkey spotted me. I charged him and used [Paralysis Skin] before he could make any noise to warm the Blue Monkey's but it didn't affect him. He started to roar and fear permeated into me.

The Green Monkey trashed about attempting to hit me with his huge fist. With every punch he made a hole on the tree house. I could hear fighting outside. I was confident that the goblins wouldn't have any problems. As I was distracted thinking about the goblins, the Green Monkey hit me with a destructive punch. I looked down and part of my left lower torso was missing. I could taste blood in my mouth. At that moment my life flashed before my eyes. With the strength that I still had cut him using the two short sword that i have with me. The tip of one of the short swords broke as I strike him. A chunk of the Green Monkey flew off and landed on the ground. I grabbed one of my sword and stabbed him in one of his eyes. The Green Monkey screamed agony. Then an idea came to me. I pulled out the sword which i struck and rubbed the tip with my left index finger. I stuck it into his other eye. He completely froze and fell to the ground. Blood spewed out of my mouth. I was on the ground bloodied in the Green Monkey's blood and mine. I felt light headed and my sights were becoming blurry. I noticed that the Green Monkey's arm which i took a chunk off of began to heal slowly. Out of desperation i decided to eat the piece of the Green Monkey.

Ability [Adamantine Bones] learned.

Ability [Intimidating Roar] learned.

Ability [Adaptive Regeneration] learned.

Ability [Physical Damage Resistance] Learned.

Ability [Overwhelming Strength] learned.

I lifted my head and saw the Green Monkey. He began to start moving. My body also began to heal but not fast enough that i could move properly. The Green Monkey stood towering over me while i was on the ground. It grabbed my head and put it in front of his face. It began sniffing me while it slowly tried to crush my head. I used [Hypnosis] on my Green Monkey. I went outside and called on the goblins. There were dead Blue Monkeys everywhere. I told them to start grabbing all the weapons and bodies they could find and prepare to leave. I went back inside to the Green Monkey i decided to erase his memory about me. I had foreseen the fight in my head. I played a simulation that if this fight goes on that there will be no victor between me and the Green Monkey. Also if the fight had gone on chances that some of the goblins might die from the Green Monkey was very high. I decided to retreat as fast as possible.

We retreated from the tree house with all the spoils that we found. I decided to leave the female woman to keep his mind occupied from remembering anything.
