The Goblin King Labyrinth Novels & Stories

He fought the overpowering urge to summon his dragon and hail down fire and brimstone upon Lord Orc and his kind, destroying every single one of them savages. “Good d-day, my dist-tinguis-shed k-kings.” The globin welcomed, sauntering to the front of the cave, his eyes round with mischief. “Today-y, we h-have some rare, m-magical relics for the p-possessions of kings.” A boisterous cheer and applause resounded and the goblin giggled, his head stiff to his neck. “B-bring in the first item-m.” He waved over a younger globin who wheeled in a double-edged silver sword.

He clicked his tongue and shook his head, an amused glint in his eyes. I gulped. “Use it whenever you find yourself in a bind.” He replied nonchalantly, with a wave of his hands. It sounded absurd but I couldn’t possibly refuse his gift. It was a rule in Lycos. NEVER RETURN THE GIFT THAT THE KING GIVES YOU. I bit down on my lower lip, closed my eyes, and resigned with a sigh. When I opened my eyes again, I looked at the King, he tilted his head with his eyebrows corked. “Have something to say to me, Little Penny?” He asked.

Lyle was awake and it was not the groggy kind of awake that Adam had first exhibited, but he was alert and ready to move. Adam on the other hand was surprised by one of the hedge walls moving and changing the pathway. He was redirected from his original path which would have brought him straight to Lyle. He had to move down a different path that took him away from Lyle and the start of the maze. The King chuckled with delight. "Oh yes! I really must remember to thank to warlock who built this maze for me. He did an astounding job in just three days!" He said while reaching over and patting Amaris' hand. Amaris turned her head to him. Did he say warlock? There were warlocks? Well

he said emphatically. Then unexpectedly, the huge shadow and black barrier started to wiggle and move. To slither towards them. It was not a column that had fallen. It had come to life. And it was now poised to swoop down on Diana's entourage. Meanwhile, Knight Leo vampire knights and Aya's witches were frantically fighting with the Goblin who was waiting at the entrance to the Gathering Hall. It was a bloody battle. With its hammering power, the battering ram was starting to bring the magically gilded door crashing down around it. Using large rocks, the vampire knights were tearing down the dark barrier that stood between them and the entrance to the underground. Meanwhile, archers and slin

Len commented. "I trained her well," Nia bragged. "I'll handle the gem teleporting," Len commented. The gems all disappeared. "Gotcha." I paused to hum, healing myself. "Well, gate one, down. What's next?" A second gate now appeared, this one was the color of the space sky, also with dragons and snakes carved on it. Another guardian stepped out from it. It was a red eyed, five headed hydrae with a spiked fur tail and black wings. "If you can survive the labyrinth of the dead, you may pass."

" I commanded the goblin leader through another mindlink the witches had spelled on me. Elves and Goblins were equal in strength. Even if the Goblins didn't win against the Elves, it would keep them at bay until I won the crown; they'd have no choice but to retreat. 'My sons have spotted me; they're leaving Nikolai's side now. It looks like he has the fae with him, his vampire brother, two women, and a man I don't recognize." I racked my brain, figuring out who the other woman and the man were. I knew Kade had a blood slave who went everywhere with him, which explained one of the women, but who was the other one. And how was she and the man with her important enough to stay by the King's sid

His silver hair gleamed as he rose, throwing back his shoulders to fill the cloak. Finn's messy chestnut brown hair fell rakishly over his brow as he scanned the room. The goblins' eyes were still locked with us, caught between awe and caution, but I ignored that. I grinned confidently when I locked onto the empty throne at the far end of the hall, a massive seat carved out of bone and iron, draped in dark crimson furs.

A ripple went through the room, curiosity, confusion, a few raised brows. I let it build, then I continued talking. “She will be the new Luna of this kingdom.” Gasps broke like a wave. It wasn’t subtle at all, it was a sharp, audible shock rolling across the hall. A few women stared openly, some elders exchanged looks, and more than one person’s scent flashed sour with disbelief. But before anyone could fully absorb it, someone out in the crowd suddenly rushed to the front. “That can’t be possible!” Instantly, the guards tensed. My wolf did too, rising in me, teeth bared.

“Go! Begin the preparations. We will not let her through. We are demons. We are kings of the abyss. And no one no on will take our victory from us!” The hall erupted with roars and screams, demons rushing to their places, wings tearing through the air, shadows twisting into weapons. Only Charon and Erinyes remained near me. Charon leaned closer. “My King, do you truly believe the labyrinth will hold her?” I met his gaze, unflinching. “No. But it will slow her long enough for me to finish what must be done.” Erinyes smirked. “Then I hope she comes fast. I want to hear her scream.”

When we approached the gazebo, I saw the king and queen already waiting there with a beautiful lunch table set up for four. The smile automatically disappeared from the queen's face and I think I just saw my whole life flashed before my eyes. “What is the meaning of this, Kraven?!”She exclaimed and abruptly stood up. Kraven calmly climbed up the stairs with me still in his arms. He bowed in greeting and I did the same, but my mouth remained zipped. I did not dare raise my eyes to look at them, but I could feel the death glares the queen was sending my way. What is Kraven thinking?!
