Chapter #3Into the Palace Prisons by: ~ Aqua ~   "What do you know, goblin?" I speak slowly, settling in front of the chained green, ugly creature.
"I ain't know what you talkin' 'bout, buddy." The goblin spat on my feet which raged my.
"I ain't your buddy, Lark. Talk or you'll regret it."
The goblin scoffed as he mocked me, "I'll regret it even more if I talk, deary. He'll do much worse than you can."
I always loved a dare, a challenge and torturing someone who had been disturbing the balance of the world, this was an entertaining opportunity.
"Who are you talking about? Who is the 'he' here?" The goblin didn't answer, he just looked straight in my eyes, stubborn as always, these goblins. "Ah, a dare, I see. You must know how much I love challenges. I wonder if he will take your eyes out, make them see what I am going to do to you, see you burn!"
"Y-you a-are bluffing. . . "
"Oh, does it seem like I am?" I stand up, walking slowly to the goblin, all kinds of things running through my mind. I never liked being the bad guy but it was a necessity, I had to know about this unseen evil and stop it before it's too late. Masking my true feelings about torturing him, I flicked my fingers as a flame of fire appeared in my hand.
"So, are you gonna talk now?" I tapped my feet, waiting patiently for the answer I was looking for.
*****************
After listening to the goblin talk for at least an hour, I couldn't believe my ears. It was shocking, I could no believe it, it was impossible, I couldn't just believe it.
"You're lying . . . "
"Looks to me you are trying to convince yourself, dearie."
"No, no, it cannot be! It was vanquished! I made sure of it!"
"Ah, well, we all make mistakes."
"Shut it!" Suddenly, a cold wind blew due to my uncontrollable anger and I squeezed his hand as his throat tightened. Realising what I was doing, I retreated and the goblin's knees faltered as he struggled to catch his breath.
I locked the dungeon as I went upstairs to think about what he had told me. I had to do something because evil was spreading quickly.
