The Goblin King

It took me by surprise as I stared at that box. As I already said, this is the rarest gem that you can get here so it was obvious that I was surprised when I found it just lying here. There were 25 gems in it as I counted. The villagers, yeah those ladies. They told me that what I had is a gem box and they magically appear with some intervals. They may appear anywhere randomly in whole village but always have the same count of gems. No one knows how and why they appear but it seems to be the case with all villages.

The villagers had already thought of something else. They handed me all the gems they had collected this far and asked me to use as I wish. I didn't understand what their problem was. Some stranger gets washed ashore your village and you hand him everything you have. Anyways, I decided to help them instead with these gems. I spent some of the gems to hire 2 builders as it was the most economical way to spend them. The only way you can hire a builder was with these gems. Now that I hired these builders I asked them to build some more gold mines and elixir collected and also a storage for them. Elixir was the same pink sake like thing that I drank when I first opened my eyes in this village.

After we talked a bit, I decided to walk around the edge of the village. It was the place which always amused me. The reason was that the edge of the village was surrounded by a translucent bubble like structure. Which (as I was told) was a barrier or shield as they preferred to call it. This thin translucent bubble seemed silky to touch but was impenetrable to anyone else if they don't belong to village but not this time it seemed. As soon as the gold storage was built and the builder reported me. The bubble dissolved in thin air with a popping sound and I saw two goblins rushing inside the village.

'GOLD!!! GOBLIN...GOLD...LOVES'

'GOLD...STEAL...GOBLINS'

'VILLAGE...SMALL'

'VILLAGE...WEAK'

'GIVE...GOBLIN...GOLD'

'WHAHAHAHA'

Just with the site of thise two goblins the villagers rushed inside the yellow hut and builders rushed inside their personal huts. It was confusing and frustrating looking at the goblins as they stole the hard earned gold of the villagers. But...(there is always a but) something magical happened just then. When I decided to rush towards the cannon and try my luck with it. The cannon started moving AUTOMAGICALLY and targeted those goblin. Then it even started firing at them.

'BOOM'

And a goblin died, with another boom the second goblin died too. Just after their death the barrier or shied which had disappeared, came back as it never had gone in the first place. Outside the barrier, I saw another green figure looking at me. It smirked and looked hungrily at the gold storage.

'CHEAH HEH HEH HEH HEH'

'WE ARE GOBLINS AND WE LOVE GOLD'

'SOONER OR LATER YOU HUMANS WILL HAVE TO SURRENDER ALL GOLD TO US GOBLINS'

'ENJOY THE ELIXIR FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN...HUMANS'

This Goblin almost looked the same as the ones who attacked but had a red TEEKA on his forehead and a wooden staff in his hand. Uh, and somehow it seemed that he got his hands on a dictionary beside gold from somewhere.

The Goblin went away after he was done threatening us. Villagers came out of the hut after the Goblin was no longer to be seen. The pretty ladies from the village told me that he was the 'GOBLIN KING' and told me the cannon only works if the village has recognized someone as its chief. It so happened that the village chose me to be its chief. The villagers asked me to give the village my name and I went for 'ASTERIOS'. They urged me to improve the 'TOWN HALL'. The same yellow building which looked like a hut to me. Now that I was appointed as a chief, it was no longer a hut but the main base for me as I developed this village. I did as they asked me to do. The day end in a very peculiar yet adventurous way.

This is a unique story about how the weakest village became one to be most feared of.

And as all the story starts, I prefer start this one in the same way.

AHEM!!!

ONCE UPON A TIME, IN A CLEARING IN A MAGICAL FOREST...
