"Brothers of the mine rejoice!"
"Sing, sing, sing with me!"
"Swing you pick and raise your voice!"
"Sing, sing, sing with me!"
As Gilhaz was soaring through the air, she heard a chorus of Kobold voices to her left.
"Ah, those must be the Kobold prisoners. I wonder how they learned that song though"
As she flow closer, she could somewhat make out the camp. It was a mining camp, that part was obvious, but it looked like a settlement from fallout 4. It was made of rusted metal hastily welded together, wooden planks painted a variety of colours, the surrounding vegetation was completely devoid of life, and for defences it only had wooden pikes and barbed wire lazily strewn about the surrounding field. The whole place looked like it was about to fall over. All she had to do was fart in that general direction and it all would come tumbling down.
"They must of built this whole place in a day! The only thing that looks remotely structurally sound is the mine itself!"
Just as she was about to swoop down and raze the place to the ground, she had an idea.
"I've been doing that a lot lately. I kind of want to try something new..."
She then reverted to her humanoid form, and flew down to one of the less occupied corners of the flimsy wall. She then cut a hole in said wall with her claws.
"Is this wall just that weak? Or are my claws just that sharp?"
Taking a peek inside, they had the worst security layout ever. All the guards were posted at the wall, and absolutely none of them were anywhere else.
"Heh, this is going to be fun..." Gilhaz thought as she reverted to her dragon form, right behind the clueless guards. She thought that at least the sound of her body transforming would notify the guards, but not even that disturbed them.
"Hey, what was that noise?"
"Doesn't matter. Just keep your eyes on the field, the enemy could be anywhere..."
Ok, this was just stupid.
*ahem* "gentlemen, you must know I truly hate being ignored"
Now that got their attention. They all whipped around, and nearly fell over, as they did not expect there to be a dragon right behind them in the middle of their base.
"What in the everlasting fuc-"
"YOL, TOOR SHUL!!!!"
When the black smoke cleared, she felt quite satisfied with the carnage. Then she almost fell over because the accidental set the tall, dry grass, surrounding the entire area ablaze.
"Aw, shit. Whelp, better do this quickly!"
.
"Down and down into the deep!"
"Sing sing, sing with me!"
"Who knows what we'll find bene-"
The Kobolds singing was interrupted by a cave wall shattering into pieces, and a void dragon coming out of the hole.
"Come with me if you want to live!"
"..."
Crap. Maybe Gilhaz should've did this in a less suspicious and confusing way.
"Master has saved us!!! We are free from the hoomans tyranny!!"
There where about 25 of them. Gilhaz was big enough for all of them to hang on to her spines and scales if they squeeze a bit. And so off the flew.
As she flew into sight of the cave, she saw a small group of more kobolds huddled just outside its entrance.
*thud* "what are you all doing inside?"
"Well, when you said that the "others" would let us in, we assumed there would be other dragons. But, there's no one here!"
"Huh?"
As Gilhaz entered her den, she found a scrawled note on what was supposed to be her dinner table.
.
'Gilhaz, something came up, so me and Adaleied will be gone for a few months. Sorry we couldn't tell you directly, but it's very urgent'
.
'Well, ok! I guess they're gone'
"Uhh, master? Where are the others?"
"Oh, right. Hey you guys back there! You can open your eyes now! We've arrived"
All of a sudden, 25 kobolds emerged from behind gilhaz
"Alright, you shall live here now. Feel free to build your rooms and furniture, I just have but one rule. The room with the nest is off-limits. That's my room. Unless any of you have questions to ask, you may go"
As the words left Gilhaz' mouth, the Kobolds were surrounded by a black and purple smoke.
'Oh, I remember means! Nice! Now people will now that these guys are mine'
When the smoke cleared, all the Kobolds were checking themselves out with an amazed expression on their faces.
"Master has given us her blessing!!!"
'Huh?'
[Notice: You Have Given Your Blessing To 33 Kobolds]
.
As Gilhaz watched the kobolds get to work settling in, she felt extremely satisfied.
'This it...' 'home'
