Saki

  It reminded me of when I first met Tama. She had called it the "Kingdom of Arissaile." I hadn't noticed it at the time, but she was a bit of an airhead, both figuratively and literally.

  I leaned in to study the map when I suddenly heard a loud squeal. It was so loud, my ears instinctively flattened to the sides of my head, and I winced in pain. If that wasn't bad enough, the sound that came after it. I was like ninety-nine percent sure it caused my ears to bleed.

  "Jiggles!!!" Tama's voice rang through the entire area like someone had put an amplification spell on her and maxed it all the way up. But I knew better. This was just Tama. I looked at the goblins, but none of them seemed bothered or surprised by this. One even just picked his nose and ate it, causing me to throw up in my mouth a little.

  I stood from leaning over the table. I was pretty sure it was going to fall apart any second if I didn't anyway. Then I walked over to the tent flap and opened it, just in time for a large boar almost as big as me to ram into me full force, sending me flying back out the back of the tent and through another one! The force of that one hit was enough to make my vision swim and my eyes water.

  I was lucky its tusks hadn't hit me, if they had, I would have been dead for sure. I managed to weakly climb to my feet, grabbing a stick. I managed to use it as a walking stick to the nearest goblin. "You, go get me medical gauze. I think I have internal bleeding," I said weakly.

  He just stared at me and I sighed. "Medicine, now, dumb goblin!" I said louder and with more authority, causing my chest to hurt. The goblin quickly scrambled away from me towards the medical tent. The boar appeared in the hole I had made when I tore through the back of the goblin chief's tent. I readied myself for its charge, bracing and creating a small earth wall and some earth armor. Both drained me pretty badly, but I should be able to regenerate quickly enough.

  The boar charged at me. It slammed right through my earth stone wall like it was freaking paper. I panicked, but before it could reach me, the boar suddenly jumped to the side. I didn't understand why for a moment before a familiar voice spoke. "Bad Jiggle! Don't attack Tama's friends!" I looked to see that he had not jumped to the side, rather, Tama had tackled the damn boar to the ground and was wrestling him. That's when a haunting memory returned. Tama had mentioned this particular boar before. She had called him Jiggle and mentioned wrestling with him a few times.

  I watched as Tama, only in a bra and underwear again, proceeded to wrestle a boar into submission using nothing but spurts of water and her blink. A boar I might add, that was bigger than either of us and was quite possibly the largest boar I had ever seen in my entire life. Originally I had thought it was only about as tall as me. I was wrong. sighed as I watched Tama climb to her feet, Jiggle now on the floor panting. Ignoring them both, I made my way back to the goblin chief's hut. Today was going to be a long day.

  Tama

  The goblins felt endless. The more I killed, the more appeared. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. I could kill these goblins for days before I needed a nap. But my teammates were not doing so well.

  Tera looked like she had taken a lot of hits. I had tried to pull them off of her, but Saki and David were having the same issues.

  Eventually the goblins seemed to give up on me and focused on them. I tried to stop them, but the sheer amount pushed through.

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  I killed a lot of goblins. I lost count at twenty, but that was because I could not count past twenty. I was positive I had killed lots though because I was making a wall of their bodies.

  I had just killed a goblin on top of the ridge with a weird device that fired thick arrows and hopped down just in time to watch a goblin swing at Saki. I killed it only to watch as another swung.

  I wouldn't make it. "No, Saki!" I screamed as I killed a bunch in a wave around me, but she fell to the ground and I felt a rage bubble in me.

  The goblins surrounded my friends and threatened them with spears. "Stop, Tama!" one of them screeched at me. It caused me to pause. I looked at the goblins in the moonlight. They looked... familiar.

  "We not hurt friends anymore. Grok want see you!" one of them grunted at me. My mind reeled. Grok was here?! "Where is Grok!" I shouted at them. "Also, don't hurt Tama's friends!"

  The one who spoke earlier nodded and said, "We put in cage until they wake up, so dey won't attacks us."

  I narrowed my eyes at him, but considered his words. "Fine! But they better be freed when they wake up!" I said indignantly.

  The goblin sighed at me and nodded. "Come wit me," he said simply. So I did.

  He brought me to one of the camps, dragging my friends with us. I carried Saki, but Tera was dragged along by three other goblins.

  David actually didn't go to sleep like Tera or Saki, but he looked horrible. His earth armor had mostly protected him, but even then, he had small cuts all over his body. His nose clearly looked broken, and his clothes were torn to shreds. He still had his underwear on though... much to my disappointment. He followed behind us, wary of the goblins, but unwilling to say anything.

  We reached a large cage that seemed to be made of metal. I remembered the cage from when I was a child. The goblins had kidnapped me while I slept.

  They had some scheme to convince sensei to give them our food. It had backfired horribly for them. I had simply woken up and went on a killing spree until they said sorry.

  I sighed, and every goblin around me took a large step back. "Good memories," I said with a smile.

  "Good for you, scary for us," a familiar voice spoke up. I whirled around to see Grok in all his little green glory.

  "Grok! Tama missed you. How is the family?" I said as my tail swished back and forth in excitement.

  Grok looked at me for a moment before saying, "Dey dead, you killed remember?"

  I nodded. "That's right, Tama forgot!"

  Grok rolled his eyes at me before speaking. "What Tama doin here? Where sensei?"

  "Oh! Tama is a full-fledged ninja now, Grok! She finally got promoted!" I said excitedly, as I rolled on the balls of my feet. Every single goblin around me took another massive step backwards.

  "Oh, that is good. You out in world now, fighting bad?" Grok asked casually.

  "Nya! But what are you doing out here, Grok? Tama thought your home was Trelloark?"

  Grok's face took on a dark look. "Tama, you know big smelly skelly?" Every single goblin looked uncomfortable suddenly and you could hear murmuring.

  I paused as I considered his words before it hit me. "Do you mean the Lich, Grok?" I asked curiously. I leaned in as I asked, tilting my head. The goblins nearest to me panicked and jumped back, two of them just fell over, passed out.

  I had enough. I stood straight up and shouted, "Tama is not going to kill any of you as long as you listen to Tama and her friends!" I looked around at the goblins seriously as I spoke. A few more fell to the ground from my shout, but the rest visibly relaxed.

  I was used to these goblins' antics. After all, I had been friends with them ever since I was ten years old. So I ignored the goblins as they dispersed, most likely off to do their duties. I looked over at Grok and he nodded. I frowned at him.

  "We fight Lich, we kills him, we use numbers to win!" Grok said as he raised a fist up. A resounding cheer from the dispersing goblins rose into the night.

  I blanched at his proclamation, horror written all over my face. My tail drooped and my ears flattened. "Grok, that's suicide! You can't win against him!" I said pleadingly.

  "Grok cannot win many things, but together, we are strong! We over..." Grok trailed off as he tried to start counting, made it to four and had to stop. "Lots! We have lots and lots!"
