Ok let's not panic my options here are a bleak darkness to the  right and more cave to the left scratching my scabbed ear i ponder these two for a little while.

“Huh” the gruff voice  rang out bouncing off the cave walls “what is it marik?” the voice identifying keenly as female replaced the echo of the first.

“I can't smell the goblin anywhere” not a bad tactic goblins have a natural bad odor to them so there pretty easy to locate but fortunately for me i manage to wash myself with cleaning wax i steal from villagers at night so even though i had a pretty busy day i don't smell as bad as i would if i didn't bath at all.

“This cave seems like a nice break point anyways”  the man named marik said as he laid down his pack the he was half carrying with a thin leather strap. “Hey alise go get the others” the man said motioning to the mouth of the cave before gathering small stones around in a circle.

Alise…. Alise…. Thinking back into the encounter from today my brain plummets into misery once again. Of course of all the hunters it had to be that trio i think peeking over the rock.

Looking down My small goblin toes are curled upwards shivering i curl up into a ball like shape i might freeze before they find me i think curling my feet to generate what little heat there was left in them.

“Ahh… good call marik this cave is big and with it being fairly close to the entrance it will be easy to sleep without  fear of choking from the smoke.”

“Any luck for you two today?” The older man says twisting to pieces of woods together effortlessly “we found one golbin today when it tried to take some of our food but… the man bowed his head shamefully we didn't get it.”

“I see well no worries we got plenty of rations until the next town”the man explained as the trio sat down, another fairly tall figure came into view “Meris come have a seat” the old man  said motioning to an open spot on the floor.

“Maybe later” the figure said uninterested giving up the old man took out a small carved piece of wood looking of what resembled a bowl and passed it around. “Good thing we had agreed on you carrying these and not someone like her”, alise says leaning in to whisper.

“Yeah i don't really trust her either” seeming if by cue the tall young girl turns towards them with another look of disinterest before trailing her eyes back to the open mouth of the cave.

That was until i realized my flat little goblin head was sticking out, “i see” she says lightly “hmm” “what is it, meris” the older man says seemingly interested before stuffing his face even more.

Turning before walking back into the darkness a solemn nothing was given before disappearing entirely.

Deciding that this would be my only chance to make a break for it i run flat footed along the hard cave floor looking as to not trip again.

Without looking back allows me to reach the entrance faster then i would have normally giving me enthusiasm to continue the trip.

A sound seemed to be echoing off the cave walls more confusion seeming then anger, Plopping myself behind the tree i exhale my organs out before finally calming down.

“So that was your goal”, jumping away terrified i look up and i thought you were gonna kill them for me but now that you're supposed purpose isn't to last death is your only embrace i'm afraid she says reaching for something at her waist unsheathing it raining half as tall as her.

Panicking i try to muster out a sentence “no” i mange out between choked breaths the girl seemngly shocked walks back “no?: she says slowing down my breathing i try to formulate together something “please don't kill” me i say finally looking up at the young woman's features which were not hard to look at.

Long dark haired donned her head along with midnight purple eyes to compliment the dark aesthetic of her armour.

That armour is the typical stuff you get at any town for honoring the oracle in  your quest to kill and make a living.

I've never seen any of the hunters using that kind before “So i was right you really are one of those half breed huh?” How about this you become mine and i won't kill you?

Not being able to process anything i take a step back, noting this the young black haired girl raised her sword up high” is that your answer?

I won't hesitate to kill you on the spot for the next step you take,” Through  a flood of emotions i finally huff out a pained “yes” sheathing her sword the young woman grew a grin that could only be seen as demonic “good choice  you belong to me now try not to die and cause be problems ok?”
