Know your Place!

POV Vesuvius:

The black-scaled kobold stirred, its reptilian eyes moving from one corner of the room to another, absorbing all of its surroundings. Its eyes suddenly fell upon the massive dragon illuminating the whole cave with the magma dripping out of his body. The kobold froze, its reverse-slitted irises going wide.

Soon it woke up out of its trance and fell on its knees, pushing its horned head against the hot floor of the cave. Its whole body was trembling as the pair of golden glowing eyes locked on it.

"Minion, you are a servant of great Vesuvius from now on!" A powerful voice accompanied by a wave of hot air washed over its body, "You may raise your head. I have no time for this!"

The kobold quickly rose its head from the ground, its eyes looking into the ground, still refusing to look at its powerful creator.

'I wonder if its whole personality was replaced after it was reborn or if its mind still remains goblin-like.'
