The Lonely Shining Goblin Novels & Stories

Could a child of Hades despise goblins like me? Suddenly, there was a large split in the ground that went all the way to where Aubrey had halted, and hundreds of skeletons came from beneath the ground to form a long line to shield Aubrey from the orb's fire onslaught. I saw Aubrey holding a silver knife, the blade coated with a little of horse blood. It was a weapon steeped in the river Styx and cursed with horse blood, which scared goblins like me. I reflexively stepped away to protect, my eyes involuntarily fixed on Aubrey, and the dread in me grew to its apex. Aubrey's eyes were absolutely dark, as if they had a peculiar power, emanating from a chilly beam that was focused at me. My limbs

“Greeting to our benevolent Lord Shadow. This humble goblin is answering your call.” David stumbled in the air and nearly fell down. Luckily, the goblin was fast enough to catch him with one hand. James hung his mouth wide open. A goblin? A goblin he said? The powerful entity graced himself in front of humans? Really? Goblins lived in solitary. A few disguised as humans and lived amongst humans, many of them cut off contact with other beings and lived among themselves. That’s because they lived in a crony. However, a few oddballs lived alone among humans and were arrogant to boot.

The goblin speech was like listening to birds and lizards all at once, saturated with high tones and heavy on the ears. Shieena spoke and the goblin listened. Then he slapped her. His hand flew through the air and slapped her with considerable force. Nio reacted instinctively and by focusing his magic pushed the goblin away. More goblins appeared on the barricades of the settlement. Those goblins weren't archers. They were dressed in simple tunics and were preparing to use magic. Nio reached for the elements and black mist appeared around him. The goblins behind him backed away. Even his friends took a few steps back. Nio stood still, waiting for the attack, when several goblin archers on th

Stripping off my clothes, I left them and my bag under a redwood tree, then I let Rose take over. "Let's run to our heart's content! Then we'll take a bath in the river," I said to her. Under the luminous gaze of the full moon, I felt an irresistible force surging through my being. My heart quickened with anticipation. Closing my eyes, I focused on the power within, embracing the ancient magic that coursed through my veins. It began with a tingling sensation, like a thousand tiny needles tracing patterns across my skin. My bones shifted, and a rush of euphoria washed over me as my human form started to contort.

Dozens of tall, faceless monsters made of pure black smoke and glowing green eyes crawled out from the dark, their long, razor-sharp claws scraping against the frozen ground. As Gabriel leads his vanguard army down the mountain path toward the border, a terrifying, high-pitched screech echoes through the trees. Gabriel violently skids to a halt, his golden eyes widening in horror. Standing directly in the middle of the narrow mountain pass is his wicked mother, Evelyn, flanked by fifty howling shadow-monsters. Evelyn raises her hand, pointing a glowing green blade straight at Gabriel’s chest, and laughs, Did you really think I would let you leave the valley, my sweet, foolish boy?"

The remnants of someone’s bedroom that was long forgotten about crashed around us. We screamed in terror. I was beginning to fear the house was going to fall down on us. We continued to hear the sound of slamming and fighting happening through the house. I was clawing at everything to try and find an escape. Out of nowhere, a book dropped in my lap. It was old. It looked like it used to be cream colored with purple lace. This matches Gabrielle’s style. I saw a key lock. Suddenly, a key dropped from the binding of the book. It was a diary of some kind. I think Gabrielle’s spirit or someone wants me to have this. I shoved it into my bag and peaked out the door. I could tell it was still not s

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden hue over campus, Charlie, Maya, Ethan, and Liam gathered in their secret hiding place, the old abandoned hedge garden behind the science building. The air was thick with anticipation; they had been waiting for this moment for weeks. The four friends had been diligently gathering information about the plot against the werewolf king, and now they were ready to share their findings with Jessica.

Just the way I needed it. Every time I look down and see all the bruises, I can’t help but laugh. It’s like a little trip down memory lane. I haven’t looked this beat-up since I was fifteen – before my superhealing kicked in. Back then, before we’re strong enough to shift, the wolf starts showing itself in subtle ways: first through whispers in our minds, then sharper eyesight, heightened hearing, and finally – the healing. Mine started talking to me when I was fourteen. It made me weirdly happy. Just me and Dad all the time – it gets lonely. Lone wolves and all that. Lonely lone wolf, I snicker to myself. God, I’m hilarious. Anyway – focus, Prue.

The room was bathed in a sinister glow as the dark magic tore through the intruders, their cries of pain mingling with the howling wind. When the last of the Fortuna witches fell, Aqua stood amidst the wreckage, her breath coming in ragged gasps. The dark energy receded as quickly as it had come, leaving her trembling and exhausted. The sight of her parents' lifeless bodies brought her to her knees, and she sobbed uncontrollably, the pendant now a dull black stone against her chest. She barely noticed Aunt Cleo's arrival, the older woman's face etched with grief and determination. Cleo's arms wrapped around Aqua, pulling her close. "It's over, Aqua," she whispered, her voice choked with emot

(Author’s POV) Daimon’s sharp eyes darted around the crumbling chamber, his expression darkening. His monstrous army shifted uneasily, growling in confusion as the shaking intensified. Then, with a deafening crack, a hole formed in the air…just like the ones Daimon used to traverse realms. But this one was different, its edges glowing with a fierce golden light that seemed to purify the dark energy surrounding it.
