The goblin village

William hurried, some would say he didn't owe these creatures anything. But he thought otherwise, he punished them enough by taking their water. And he even got the bow martial art out of it, beating up a few creatures turned into a life-changing event for him.

The martial art of the goblins was what helped him, so he would help the goblins in return. After hurrying for a little while he was finally near enough to the goblins. They were attacked by some humanoid creatures, that looked almost completely human like.

William kept running in the direction, some goblins noticed him and pointed their bows at him and started shooting. But he didn't care, he avoided all the arrows and closed in on the nearest goblin. He stole the bow and arrow of the goblin and started shooting at the humanoid creatures.

The goblins were confused at first, in their eyes William looked exactly like the creatures that attacked. But in the end they started attacking the creatures again, no matter what the purpose of this new helper was, help is help.

They had to shoot many arrows and some goblins died, sadly, but eventually with William's help they were able to shoot all the intruders down. The goblins started to cheer in happiness about the win, but after a few minutes the happiness was gone. The goblins started looking at their fallen comrades and some even started crying.

It was a sad sight to see, those small little goblins must have a pretty tough life in here. And they would have lost even more people if William didn't come to their help. Some goblins started to surround William, looking curious at the helper. Some, of course, also looked at him with suspicion, holding on tight to their weapons, or even aiming at him.

William tried to communicate, "I'm only here to help," but the goblins couldn't understand him. They only looked even more confused at him. Finally, an old goblin appeared. "Thanks human, for helping us. Please follow us to our village, we have lots to talk about."

William follows them quietly, he was happy that he found a goblin that understood the human language. But he also wondered how it was possible that one of the goblins understood the human language. After a while they all stopped in front of the village's biggest house. "This is my house human, let's talk inside."

William followed inside, excited to find out more about this place. The rooms of the houses were kinda small For him. But that made sense the goblins were kinda small to, only around the height of his belly. The old goblin looked at him and said "I'm the village chief, so human tell me why did you help us."

William answered truthfully, "I learned the martial arts of the goblins, it helped me a lot In my life. As thank you I wanted to help the goblins." The old goblin looked at him for a while before saying, "I recognized you using our goblin's arrow martial art. I won't ask where you got it, but don't teach it to outsiders please. I know it's not the greatest martial art, but it's our pride."

William nodded, he could understand that reasoning, he wouldn't like it either if someone stole his scorpion avoiding step. While William was still deep in thought, something happened that surprised him, the old goblin said, "human, you can have the martial art of those devil humans as thanks for helping us."
