Goblin Market And Other Poems Novels & Stories

Having faced Trolls and Goblins before, the Fairies and Elves knew how to defeat them. While the trolls were 10 feet tall, they were not very intelligent. Small and tricky, goblins posed a greater threat than trolls because they were unstable and chaotic. Using magical means, the Elves make the Goblins explode, leaving behind a yellow slimy goo residue. Fairies sprayed buckets of fairy dust on the Trolls, and they fell face forward, knocking down trees and destroying anything around them. "Timber!" the fairies yelled with delight

Smoke clouds drifted through the room like ripped and torn patches of fog. Nio headed for the nearest empty table, but before he could reach it a small woman slammed into him and a pair of pleading eyes looked up just as an empty jug flew through the air, aiming for her head. The small creature was a goblin, no taller than his waist, thin and slender, with a long-curved nose and small eyes the same olive color as her skin. It was impossible to guess her age. She had a few patches of black hair on her head and the woolen dress she wore was at least two sizes too big, held in place with an intricate design of ropes that stretched from her shoulder to her waist. The dress was once probably whit

Truly Yours, Rozelyn --- A Poem from Rozelyn My name is Rozelyn And people say that I am a Queen What they don't know is I am a creature of the night The moment you see me is the moment you'll never see again the light I may have green eyes but I seek blood Once a month, I drink that red liquid like I always had Beware of me and my family We lurk the night and lure the weakly We have powers you have never seen We have eyes that are so keen We are three in the family One who's a mind-reader, the other a duplicator, and the other the most powerful

I have no idea what came over her, but she began to joyfully jump around her clearing, attracting my attention. - You're going? - I was interrupted from my thoughts by the goblin, who stood on the threshold of a hut that suddenly appeared in front of us. “Or are you going to count the crows like that?” - I'm going, - she nodded to him, greedily examining the dwelling of the goblin from the outside.

Whether tomorrow, the fragile illusion of control would shatter. But she did not move. She did not call for anyone. She simply watched. And the garden grew fuller, brighter, louder beneath her window. *** Across town, the air smelled of dust and roasted corn. The market stretched endlessly, a labyrinth of stalls piled with every imaginable thing, baskets of tomatoes so red they looked painted, stacks of onions tied together by their roots, bundles of spinach, peppers glistening like jewels. Vendors called out above the din, their voices overlapping in a chaotic chorus. Children darted between feet, women haggled, and men carried sacks so heavy they bowed under the weight.

I clenched the hem of my shirt, my palms sweating. Just when I was racking my brain on how to deal with the situation, a hand suddenly reached in and snatched the glass away. "Jade, this wine is so expensive! Letting him drink it would be a waste!" Michael glared at me, jealousy almost oozing out of his eyes.

Once I stepped out, the atmosphere hit me immediately. It was like we had stepped into a whole different world. The Nightshade Market stretched endlessly before us, glowing under dim lanterns that flickered with unnatural light. Stalls lined the narrow paths, filled with strange objects, shimmering potions, herbs that I could not even recognize even if I tried. Creatures moved around us. Some looked almost human. Some… did not. Eyes followed us. Whispers trailed behind. But the moment they noticed Rhys and Declan beside me…

Matthew and Theraphosa returned to the goblin city several hours after they left. Matthew was carrying a large and heavy sack filled with pure metals that they collected from Arshild’s storage and Theraphosa was only carrying a small backpack of her valuable belongings. When they got to town though, the dome was gone and the crowd of goblins gathered in a certain location. Since the goblins were short, Matthew could see Rain, and the chimaeras standing in front of the crowd talking to some dwarves who were a little bit taller than most of the goblins.

“This is the last time I ask. Give us the werewolf or tonight will be your last.” “No,” Gail said with more confidence than she felt. With a deep breath, she called her magic forth. It flooded through her, and she focused on the spell she had done that filled the glass ball with darkness. She hoped it was some kind of blindness spell.
