I held urok close to my chest and jumped
I couldn't hear the mama troll anymore as the fall began.
I hit a rock on the slope and my spine broke with a nasty crunch, Urok screamed frantically but I dare not let him go after all he's a stupid little goblin but he's my stupid little goblin.
The end was near my spine was broken and I couldn't feel my legs to cushion the fall.
The tree canopy was near, I desperately reached my claws to a nearby tree as we entered the canopy. Thankfully my claw got stuck in a tree's trunk which halted our fall, I nearly dropped urok due to the sudden halt."master saved us"
urok spoke to soon as the sudden impact must've weakened my claws as they broke and we plummeted downward.
But the fall was considerably shorter now and I absorbed most of the impact preventing urok from taking any damage. Then I asked urok to patrol the surroundings for any threats as I needed some time to repair my spine and also regenerate my claws.
In 15 minutes I was completely healed. Afterwards i heard an ork's scream exactly in the same direction where urok went. After keeping him alive for so long, I wasn't going to let him be slaughtered by some talking pigs. So I hurried towards the voice as fast as my legs could carry but I felt I could go faster so I willed myself to go faster and I subconsciously dropped on all fours gaining bonus speed.
I finally reached a small clearing where pig sequels could be heard. Urok did far better then I imagined, He was surrounded by 3 orks with one lying dead near his feet having a flaming spear penetrating its chest. The fire burned the ork's thick hide allowing the spear to reach its vitals. The remaining orks were swinging there clubs at urok who managed to dodge them all with his greater speed as his stats have been buffed by eating various beasts that I fed to him.
I observed the battle from a bush because I have a developed a bush fetish :/
"Puny goblin you'll pay for what you've done and after that we'll make sure your puny tribe answer for you insolence"
An ork angrily spoke to urok for which he replied "Not if you all die here and afterwards I'll offer your remains to my glorious master who'll liberate my tribe from your oppression"
Urok barked at the ork.
"An insect like you dare mock us now die" an ork charged at urok with club raised ready to squash him, I nearly jumped out to save him but then I remembered want happened to the ork who recklessly rushed urok.
And you guessed it, Urok dodged at the last second and slid between the orks leg and penetrated- I mean thrusted his flaming spear inside its buttocks and the scream that came afterwards visibly shook the remaining orks who clenched their own buttocks.
Urok took this opportunity to throw his last flaming spear directly into an ork's eye who was too busy clenching his ass.
Maybe Urok has a thing for eyes as I have a thing for bushes.
Now only one ork remained.
"How does it feels to be bested by a lowly goblin pig" Urok mocked the ork
"You bastard, you made a mistake now you have no weapon to defend yourself beg for mercy and i'll grant you a quick-
Urok didn't let the ork finish and jumped straight towards his face with his small hand clenched in a tight first surrounded by flames. He punched the ork directly in the face and cooked pork could be smelled in the air, the ork howled in pain and dropped his club and reached for urok swinging him onto the ground. Urok let out a painful screech maybe the impact broke few of his ribs. " Die filth" the ork roared in rage ready to stomp Urok's skull.
Before he could even blink I had already leapt at him tearing his head clean off and swallowing it whole. Its body fell dead and I helped urok onto his feet.
"Forgive me master I failed you" urok spoke while bowing before me with his head down with shame.
But a goblin taking on four orks is no small feat, I know he's not an ordinary goblin but still he has outdone himself.
He not only used his skills most effectively but also made most of his own stats. He has earned my respect and for that i'll reward him.
I tore out my own left bicep and threw it towards urok. "Eat my servant you have not failed me, grow stronger and serve me better" I commanded urok.
As lesser wendigos are also intermediate beasts I thought maybe eating my own flesh would fulfill the requirement for his evolution.
"Thank you great one for granting Urok this honor" he then ate my flesh, it felt strange seeing someone eat my own flesh as mostly i'm the one who's doing the eating part. My bicep was also started regenerating as this point, its good that I don't feel much pain now as only fire is capable of causing any real pain to me.
[Ding: Servant Urok has fulfilled the requirements, the evolution shall now commence]
Urok started shaking and fell to the ground vomiting greenish-black blood.
His body started elongating, his muscles bulged, his skin darkening a little. Then after 5 minutes of pain he stood up changed, standing 2 meters tall with muscles visible at every inch of his body, long pointed ears, black hair on his head, dark green skinned with 2 fangs out on full display from his lower jaw not only that but also his face was considerably less uglier then before kinda normal looking?

Wow he's only 7 years old and...
Darn he's completely unrecognisable and what's with those crazy stats, he can probably take on 3 orks bare handedly all by himself.
His intelligence has improved along with his looks.
"Master i'm ready to serve"
Urok spke while kneeling before me, his speech was more refined as well.
"Rise urok and tell me why did that ork spoke of your tribe, does he recognise you?"
"My lord my tribe is not far from here and those orks were responsshall for collecting tribute, I couldn't contain myself as they were responsible for killing my mother infront of me when we failed to provide tribute that's when I ventured out to find a saviour"
He's definitely more intelligent and even more fluent in speech now.
"Now that they're dead they'll probably think the goblins have something to do with that" I told urok, "yes master you assumption is correct"
"Then will your tribe join us the struggle against the orks?"
"Master many told the same thing to our chief but he refused due to his own cowardlyness and many goblins tried to challenge him to lead the tribe to fight against the orks but alas they were just mere goblins who stood no chance against a hobgoblin."
Urok replied
"Then you'll lead them Urok and I'll aid you, defeat your chieftain and take his mantel prove that your my chosen one"
I encouraged Urok
"As you command great one, through you I have attained this strength and i'll use every bit of it according to your wishes."
He replied sincerely. After his evolution the link between us improved and I could sense great devotion in his mind aimed towards me.
Urok also told me that its a 2 day trip to his village and so we began our march towards the goblin village.
Soon.......
They'll be my slaves and worship me as i'll mould them to do my bidding and Urok will be a key pawn. >:]
