The Goblin Restaurant Novels & Stories

Just enough for a single, shadowed eye to peer through. “What do you want?” a voice said, low and measured. Male. Accent faintly. “Aurelian Morgenstein. I believe Mr. Galli is expecting us.” Another beat passed before the door creaked wider. We stepped inside. The restaurant was eerily empty. It wasn’t just missing people, but the chairs, barstools, and tables were all gone. They had been shoved to the side and stacked high on counters, leaving the floor curiously exposed. The effect was jarring, I must say.

I thought. Mrs Maria had mentioned that he was sweet but how true was that? After all, he was family to her. And the time frame with which he opened his restaurant was a bit suspicious. Well, I would be getting answers to my questions when I get there. About half an hour later, the cabman stopped at the front of a beautiful restaurant. The view was breathtaking and with the Christmas celebration ongoing, it was looking like a mini Christmas heaven with the decorations scattered around.

There was a long queue outside and I found myself wondering why I didn't know that such a busy restaurant existed

Did William already notify them so we could enter with ease? "What is that truck for?" the goblin asked. "I bought necessities for goblins and lycans." I said it with my gentlest smile. "My gift for all of you." I gestured my hand to the human driver and helper that I hired to make them open the wing van of the truck. "There is nothing dangerous there. Feel free to check." The goblins inspected the truck for a moment before approaching us again. "We checked the items. One of our comrades will drive the truck in. Wait here while we offload the items."

Now I’m finishing the food. Liam walks into the kitchen, a few bags from the local store in his hands. “I think I just made the weirdest purchase of my life at Gilligan’s. Gel pens in, like, fifteen colors, ten disposable cameras, five compact mirrors, and enough candy to give a giraffe diabetes.” I shoot him a smile over my shoulder as I check the paratha dough. “Jai and Violet will appreciate it. According to Meredith, goblins, boggarts, and kobolds are big candy fans. And you can trade with the dark elves using the rest.”
