SEVENTEEN

Sphiel entered the game the following day and heard the clanging of metal and some voices conversing with each other. She entered the clearing to find four goblins sifting through the weapons she accumulated and holding up some of the treasures she had in sacks.

She looked around for Balanos, but he was nowhere to be found. She hoped to find some animals in the hopes of charming them to chase the goblins off, but she couldn’t find any. It was just the goblins.

A few birds were chirping in the trees. Perhaps they could lend her aid?

While she was thinking one of the goblins looked up and noticed her standing at the edge of the clearing. It raised its spear and pointed at her.

“You. You’re the one who murdered our brethren.”

Sphiel growled. “I didn’t murder your brethren, they were the ones that tried to kill me. I was just fighting in self-defense.”

Another goblin, a particularly rotund one with a pug nose, scowled. “A likely story. We are a peaceful people. We wouldn’t bring harm to no one.”

Sphiel laughed. “That’s complete crap. If you aren’t here to bring harm to anyone, then how come you’re going through my stuff?”

Another goblin stamped his foot. “Not all of these are your things. Some of these belonged to our friends.”

“You mean the ones that tried to kill me?” Sphiel scowled.

One of the goblins growled and raised a spear, the others followed suit. Sphiel drew her short sword and prepared to rush in. The goblins reared back and threw their spears at her. The small spears came at her surprisingly fast. She fell to the ground in order to avoid them.

One of the spears imbedded itself into her back and the other in her leg. She screamed as the metal heads rendered her flesh. Blood pooled around her injuries.

This wasn’t the start Sphiel expected when she came into the game, and given her current predicament, she wouldn’t last very long. The goblins drew their weapons and charged.

From behind a tree, Balanos let out a battle cry and boldly rushed the goblins. He managed to hit two of them with his staff before the other two stepped forward and drove him back. The two goblins he didn’t hit pursued him while the others recovered their faculties and came toward her.

The elf pulled herself to her hands and knees and liquid fire rushed through her veins. Her muscles jittered but she was able to keep her balance.

What could she do? The spear sticking out of her back didn’t take all of her health but she was barely in a condition to fight. She needed to think of something, preferably quick. The goblins were fast approaching and they didn’t look like they were going to give any quarter.

Sphiel imagined a large swarm of birds coming down on the two goblins. She sang as best she could, trying to ignore the pain. There was a ripple in the air.
