Goblin Market And Other Poems Novels & Stories

Recluse. The hour had grown late as Mrs. Belfry slipped out of her house and onto the square. She passed the fountain, the now empty market, and Pete’s Sweets candy shop, which was closed for the night. Just northwest of the center of town lay Lilith’s Hollow’s own cemetery. A thick fog perpetually hung over the grounds, which at night took on a mysterious and eerie glow. The witch knew the fog was created by the restless ghosts that populated the old boneyard but continued on despite her strong revulsion of all spirits.

Eirlys POV: The morning market was louder than usual. Merchants had arrived from neighboring villages before sunrise, filling the square with colorful fabrics, fresh fruit, spices, and enough noise to wake the Moon Goddess herself. Auren's eyes sparkled as he walked beside me, bouncing with excitement. "Mama!" "Hm?" "They have honey cakes over there." "I can see that." "And apple tarts. They look really good." "I see those too." "And candied nuts. And those sticky buns!"

The hoard of goblins hissed and spat at me, bearing their pointed jagged teeth as they chattered menacingly. Goblins were small creatures, but together they gave true meaning to the phrase strength in numbers. Their attitude changed drastically when a few of their kind came to back up a single goblin. A smirk crossed my lips at their ridiculous attempt at being threatening. It might have worked against a small dog, but certainly not me. The smirk angered them further and they chattered more, dancing and bobbing about with

When they passed next to a forest, Rhobart suddenly said, “I just remembered a shortcut to the Hammer Clan. By late afternoon tomorrow, we will be reunited with the others.” “You do know shortcuts are often dangerous,” Ayla commented. “Not as dangerous as your tea.” Ayla glared at him, and he cleared his throat. “See those mountains?” he asked while pointing at the horizon. “There is a path between them. Normally it is not dangerous, but sometimes goblins will try to attack travelers who are foolish enough to get close to their cave.” Goblins were small humanoid creatures with green, leathery skin that offered some protection against the weather and weapons. They were very agile and preferre

Some minutes later, we got to a bubbling market. "Wow!" I gasped in astonishment. This place is full of many creatures. I can see pixies flying around happily. There are goblins, fairies, ogres and other mythical creatures. What's more fascinating is that they all seemed to get along well. Baby ogres and fairies are playing ball together. They all seemed happy. "Where is this place?" I asked messy hair. "Welcome to the main market of Red Orleans." "The main...wow, is that a goblin joggling?" I gaped. Many people gathered around to watch the goblin joggle. I tried to join them but messy hair pulled me back by my collar.

My senses all in alert, I activated my Evil eyes ready for that unknown creature… the groaning intensified, the creature approached revealing its appearance… Small in size, green skin, ugly face and pointy ears… it held a handmade spear with a pointy rock at the edge… the creature reeked of bad smell and was not alone… This creature that preys on women and raids human villages without leaving a soul behind, usually lives in small groups, but when they are under stronger beast guidance… they become a threat that must be subjugated… So it was them who preyed on women of the capitol… these heinous creatures called “Cave dwellers” or more commonly…Goblins! I am surrounded by them… how many are t

The couple encouraged each other daily. “We’ll have money next year. Luck will finally be on our side then!” “Honey, once I get rich, I’ll treat you right!” Humans seemed to cling to dreams in hard times, like the little match girl in the snow. She lit her sticks, dreaming of warmth and comfort, only to freeze to death that winter. It was time to shatter their illusions. I had been wondering how to do it elegantly and gently. I pretended not to know anything. It was just to savor that moment of sweet satisfaction.

At her very young age, Amara Fairoza wishes to see one. "The Goblin's never been dead. Do you see how sad the sky is? When the Goblin is sad, the clouds cry." said by the same old woman when Amara was seven. "It's raining cats and dogs. Maybe, he's sad waiting for his bride to save him." still the old woman when she was ten. Amara learned most about goblins and other creatures from the streets and the walls. Books were limited in their humble town. According to the books, goblins were cruel beings. They abused their power and made the people suffer. All they wanted was to be the wealthiest and be the most powerful creature. It was believed that they bring bad fortune and will cause a pandemi

My tiny Ancanta vanished like smoke and vanished forever in this world, exactly like the day she arrived in front of me, frail and delicate as if she would vanish at any moment… “ANCANTA…” "Have you ever heard of a goblin fairy tale?" The elderly saleswoman, her face wrinkled, looked lovingly at Ancanta and softly caressed her head. Ancanta appeared to be drawn to the elderly woman's compassionate stare, so she smiled, still with the same sunny grin, and politely replied: "Uncle Hector never told me anything about goblins, they what? Isn't it like the devil to perform the terrifying things Uncle Hector used to warn me about?"

An open-air market surrounds us, wedged between the looming buildings of the street. Gray and black stone dominates, and the pale evening sun picks up the rich reds and yellows of the market tents. Fairytale spices scent the air, and everything is for sale: wishes, desires, sex, violence and hearts. Raw sounds echo from fighting rings as onlookers place bets on mythic creatures egged on by matadors. Vendors try and catch my eye, calling out as they offer firebird feathers and golden apples. Goblin fruit glitters under the early stars on the dusky purple horizon.
