I had just watched my sibling get snatched from my mother then eaten like a snack I tried to stop him He just swatted me away like a fly he would have killed me if I was male like my brother who was now gone the big ogre only let's a few males live and grow he always eats the rest only letting the females live so he can make them have his children
He was the only ogre that found our little village a few years he raided killing almost all the males and babies using the women to give birth to more ogres most died having the the ogre's children they come out just like there father growing up fast and extremely loyal he won't let them have any women
the male goblins can't either but sometimes it still happens my mother couldn't keep it a secret my brother was found when he came back from the raid hearing crying we tried to do something but it was for nothing how much longer can we go on like this I held my mother as we cried most of the goblins were with us having felt the same pain
As we were in a group mourning our loss a spear flew into the big ogre's head pinning him to his throne of bones built from his victims see this happen everyone was stunned a ogre in front grunts in pain when I look I see what I think is a human retracting blades from his wrist then reach out his hand the spear came to him spinning killing half the ogres before they knew it he retrieved his spear was it a spear I thought I don't think he is holding it right the human with the skull mask on killed the rest of the ogres like it was nothing after he was done he turned looking at us we flinched back knowing what humans did with our kind

I looked at the goblins for some time not sure what to do with them I was told to kill them but I'm getting the feeling they are more victims then anything as I looked at the goblins I was shocked to see the were almost human if it wasn't for there flat long ears , pointy teeth like a shark's and skin that was green with some being a dark red color
No goblins moved as I was looking at them to scared to move I heard a slashing sound looking over saw shadow cutting the head off the ogre I slammed into the ground " what are you going to do with them " he said coming over to me sitting down next to me I scratch under his chin as I think " I'm not sure"
After a little bit I get a idea " i hope she can help I teleport away then come back with Elise " you can't just come and teleport me away I may have been doing something " I gave her a apologetic look " I'm sorry my love but I needed your help with this " motioning to the goblins she looks at them then looks back at me confused " what do you want me to do help you kill them "
I shook my head " no I wanted to help them if I can they seem to be victims Here " Elise looks at me a bit shocked she let out a big sigh rubbing her forehead " my love while I admire you for being able to see past races do you even know the situation you do realize they have killed a small town " I think about what she said for a little bit I stared going toward the goblins after thinking a little bit
They flinched back huddling together realize how I may have looked I press the rune on my staff the blades retracted on it letting go so it can float behind behind me the goblins relaxed a little after this I hope this works I thought
" hi can someone tell me why you guys attacked the little town or what was happening here" I said to the goblins they just looked at me for a bit I sighed thinking they couldn't understand me all travelers translate most languages automatically that what they said at the academy but they never mentioned if it worked on goblins
A goblin came forward she seemed female from the cloth covering her bits just barely she looked around my age but I wasn't sure I think she was the one that got swatted away after trying to stop the big ogre " we never wanted to attack but we're forced that big ogre found our village a few years ago killing most of the males and children then forced himself on most the women making them have his kids when he felt he had enough to raid a town the big ogre moved us here then attacked we didn't want to do it we even tried to let some escape were we could " the female goblin said with tears in her eyes remembering how hard it's been these last few years
I sighed hearing this it was pretty much what I thought I looked back to Elise but she just had a neutral expression I realized she didn't understand her it was hard to remember because she didn't have a issue talking to humans " she says they were basically slaves to the big ogre they did want to do any of it they tried to let some escape were they could " I explained to her she looks at me not sure what to say " that still doesn't tell me what you want me to do here I can't help them"
I came over to her pulling her close putting my forehead on hers " think if they were elves my love maybe we can take them to the elven kingdom so the can start a new they can't stay here please for me " she looks at me seeing the pleading look she sighed
" fine we can take them back with us we have to fo back for our wedding anyway it's not going to be easy trying to find a place for them there " I nodded
" I know my love thank you for doing your the best" I said then kissing her deeply " don't thank me yet if something happens with them your dealing with it " I nodded to her
Turning towards the goblins with a smile
" what do you guys think of trying to start again outside the human kingdom we will take you too live with the elves if that's what you want it probably won't be easy though but it's a start " the goblins stared at me for a bit not sure what to make of it they thought there going to die not get a second chance
Some started to talk to each other after a bit the one I talked to came forward with a older female who still had tears in her eyes with her head hanging low " we will come with to start a new" she said with a resolute expression after that all the other goblins agreed to come with us I turned to Elise
" they agreed to come "she nods" Alright I will have to get some stuff arranged so we can leave as so as possible"
"Can you take me back now please so I can get to working on this " I scratch the back of my head " thank you again my love " I said to her teleporting her back to our room " make sure you move them somewhere harder to find I'll be as quick as possible but it may turn into something if they are found double if someone finds out we are helping them " Elise said after we got to our room
" ok I'll do that " I say she then gave me a kiss on the cheek before leaving quickly I teleport back to the goblins then waited as they packed up what little they had and we set out to find a place for them to hide for a little bit after looking for a bit we found a cave far enough from the original one they should be safe here " stay here my wife will get some transport ready for us to make our way to the elven kingdom" Hearing they nod then the goblin I talked to came forward " you and that elf are married " she asked I shook my head
" not yet we will get married when we get back to the elves they have been planning it while we were away she nods a little in shock
" what is your name by the way " I asked the goblin she looks at me a little hesitant " my name is lazza what is your name if you dont mind me asking " I shook my head " it's fine you can me ghost " she nodded a bit more relaxed
" thank you for doing this for us ghost we greatly appreciate it " I look a her for a bit
" your welcome lazza I just wanted to help if I could " she looks at me a bit shocked " but we aren't humans " she said a little hesitant I chuckle a little at this " you don't have to be human for me to want to help you something unjustified was happening to you guys so I decided to change that since I could I had the power to protect from something bad so that's what I did nothing more to it doesn't matter to me what race you are if I can help I will because I have the power to stop these things now I won't let the bad people get away with it and I will help were I can that's just the way I am even if it's not the best decision " lazza stared at me to sure what to say to that
" anyway I'll have to go now can you make sure everything is fine here while I'm gone please " she just nods absent-minded then I got up and left " what a wired human " lazza whispered after I left turning back to the other goblins
