'Alright I don't feel any different but let's see what happens.'
It was at this moment a loud roar sounded from the distance distracting 7 from his thoughts and reminding the Goblins of the Gilva leopards they just defeated only louder. 7 instantly looked towards 2 who along with the other goblins had ceased their cheering only to start shivering in fear.
"2, there wouldn't happen to be larger versions of these things would there?"
"I'm not sure, maybe, probably, yeah"
As they talked they beasts roars drew gradually closer, prodding the goblins to finally leave the scene of their first battle. Rushing to put some distance between them and the booming roar the group ran blindly through the trees with neither 2 nor 7 able to organize the goblins with much coherence. It was through sheer dumb luck the charging children avoided the vast number of trees that dotted their path. For lack of a better option 2 and 7 followed behind the group trying and failing to restore order until finally they stopped. The roar of the distant Gilva was now quiet in the distance yet the reason they stopped was unrelated to the distant terror. For what lay before the Goblins was a massacre of their green skinned brethren, bodies torn and limbs missing the complete corpse that lay before them had only one arm attached. As they scanned the carnage two goblins of lesser will collapsed as their legs gave out the rest retreated several steps out of some basic fear the scene instilled within them. Not the panic caused by beasts but a looming dread that filled them as the true trial revealed itself. Finding the Goblins was irrelevant a simple mask for the true test of survival, most would die and those that lived were goblins. The tiny terrors of the world a race feared in spite of their size for viciousness and violence, how else would these green beasts be formed if not through a crucible of brutality. As the dread settled their instincts awakened, kill or die, steal or lose, devour or be destroyed. The life of a goblin was brutal and their months were they easiest time they'd ever experience, now they knew. Those that fell stood and those that retreated boldly stepped forward. Watching this 7 felt his blood boil as a wave of goblin instinct thrust fully into this new world.
'Interesting very interesting, guess I'm really a goblin after all."
All fear out of their minds the group poured into the clearing finally able to take full stock of the situation. The goblin remains scattered throughout the area appeared to be from at least eight distinct goblins, as the group searched the remains it became obvious they were by some kind of beast with marks from teeth and claws larger than those of a Gilva leopard dotting the corpses. Of the dead goblins most were unrecognizable and those few that could be identified 7 remembered them serving a Goblin with high speed. It wasn't long thereafter one of the goblins noticed a blood trail heading down the mountain. Resolved to follow the trail the goblins proceeded in a tight group with 7 at the front. Traveling at a brisk pace they began to discover more goblin corpses after a few minutes. The first was a mangled mass in a pool of blood but as they went the corpses appeared more whole, the beast either growing bored or rushing to follow the rest of the group. By the sixth body they found the goblin still alive barely being counted as such gurgling blood and clutching a large tooth embedded in his chest. Approaching the goblin 7 swiftly grabbed the tooth ending the goblins suffering immediately after, the goblins then quickened their pace. Running forward the goblins could finally hear a scream in the distance one they began sprinting towards. As they drew closer the pained cries of what could only have been a goblin grew louder and more frequent until they came upon it. Just before their eyes was a giant scaled beast that had six legs attached to a barbed mass of claws, four sharp limbs protruded out it's back vaguely resembling arms only to end in spikes, and a head dominated by an innumerable amount of teeth each resembling the one still clutched in 7's hand. The Beast had one goblin pinned beneath a leg life escaping it with each passing moment as the Beast's arms descended upon the goblin only to skewer it before tearing the still screaming goblin apart limb by limb. The Beast either didn't notice or paid no heed to the new group of goblins as it approached a group of five goblins huddled around another goblin clutching it's leg in pain, a goblin recognized as one of the fastest. 7 and his group paused for a moment as the goblins freshly hardened resolves began to waver in the face of this new monstrous threat. Sensing the ever evaporating confidence of his cohorts 7 wordlessly stepped forward tooth clutched in his hand no fear present upon his face as he confidently marched on. As 7 drew closer the beast finally paused it's movements eliciting a quick sigh of relief from the huddled goblins before all eyes turned to 7. The brief hope the huddled goblins had instantly disappearing as they realized it was only one goblin that had distracted the beast. The beast then unleashed a monstrous roar that 7 could swear was meant to be a laugh before he shouted.
"Come on Beastie!!!"
Before charging the monster that lay ahead, briefly stunned the Beast quickly recovered lunging one of it's spiked arms at 7 only for him to deftly dodge while scratching the Beasts limb with the tooth. Charging closer 7 avoided limb after limb each time stabbing at the beast with it's own tooth. Seizing the moment the huddled goblins began their retreat dragging their leader in tow while silently amazed at 7's ability to avoid the beast's attacks. Still none had much hope at 7's chances as they saw him work his way closer and closer towards the beast until he was less than an arms length from the monster. A brief smile flashed across 7's face as it became increasingly difficult for the beast to use it's arms only for it to disappear as the beats legs came into play barbed and ending in razor sharp claws each one could tear him to shreds. Wedged between the monster's spiked arms and barbed legs 7 found it near impossible to avoid them all. Dodging it's limbs by the narrowest margins 7 was forced to focus on saving his own life, unable to continue stabbing with the tooth he desperately tried to scan the beast for a weakness. The situation became increasingly grim as he was forced to operate in ever smaller areas the beasts limbs constantly closing in yet 7's expression betrayed no signs of uncertainty as he continued dodging for his life. It was then a chorus of shouts sounded from the trees as 2 and the rest of the goblins charged forward distracting the beast from it's relentless assault allowing 7 a brief moment to collect his breath and renew the offensive. Tooth clutched tightly in hand 7 slid between the beasts unconcentrated attacks to arrive underneath it's belly before cracking a wry smile, he'd found a weakness. The beasts belly was devoid of the thick scales coating it's exposed limbs, back, and sides instead featuring a leathery skin that 7 was confident he could pierce. As the other goblins drew closer the beast focused on fending them off only to realize too late where the goblin it'd just been entangled with went. Now flailing it's legs in a vain attempt to stop 7 the beast had an odd expression on it's face interpretable as fear only for 7 to jump upwards not a moment later the beasts own tooth puncturing it's leather belly. The beast started to writhe uncontrollably in pain as a spurt of black blood drenched 7 who stoically held onto the beasts quaking form all the while stabbing it with the tooth. The beast continued to flail wildly forcing the surrounding goblins to back away from the monster in it's crazed actions the pool of blood beneath it growing ever larger. As 7 continued stabbing the beats motions began to slow before coming to a halt as it collapsed in a pool of black. The goblins stood stunned for a moment before realizing 7 was still underneath the beast, they hurriedly began to try and push the beast on it's side only for a tooth to suddenly stab out of the beasts back. 7 still stood inside the beast began to pull apart the beasts skin still covered in thick scales a laborious process that was soon aided by the goblins stood outside the beast. Eventually the goblins were able to create a large enough hole for 7 to climb out his skin still matted with the beasts blood and clutching it's tooth seemed imposing to all the goblins gathered who reaffirmed their faith in him. The huddled goblins from before watched this spectacle dumbstruck as one goblin near single handedly defeated the beast that was picking them off only a short time ago. Hesitantly leaving their hiding place the huddled goblins approached 7's group while propping their leader up. 7 stared at them with an impassive gaze as they drew closer stopping several feet from the group. The fast goblin with an injured leg then began to speak.
"7 right? I'm 5 we wish to join your group."
"Oh, what do you say 2? Can they join your group?"
2 chuckled slightly as he said what the rest of their group thought.
"It's your group now 7."
7 smiled, unsurprised by 2's response.
"Welcome aboard 5."
