Adventures Of A Goblin

Orun moved back after he was done covering the woman with the blanket, before proceeding to ask for her identity.

He wondered, if a different monster specie have heard of his goal and came here to ask if they could be accepted.

He thought of the woman, as the leading figure of the specie that is aiming to join them.

That was his first thought, until he realized that he had yet to make his goal public to the entire monster specie.

But then he thought to himself 'perhaps they were informed by the Wyvern pack who knew them'.

Was his next thought after taking into consideration that he had been gone for days now, during his recruitment mission of the Minotaurs.

It could be possible that the Wyvern pack had awaken a day earlier, and went out to invite another race to come and join them.

'yes, that is possibly what happened".

Orun's assumption was further strengthened by the sight of the Wyverns being at peace with the monster woman before them.

He noticed that something was amiss with the Wyvern pack. He turned his head in several directions, looking for the Wyvern leader whose name is now Wildria.

"where is she? Where is Wildria".

He asked, after not seeing her around, or have her come to him the minute he got back.

No matter how much her appearance had changed, Orun would have still recognized the Wyvern leader nonetheless.

Of the twenty percent of his total mana that he used in naming the Wyverns, half of it was used in the naming of the Wyvern leader alone.

He did it like that so that there would be a clear hierarchy between the leader and the rest of the Wyvern pack.

Orun knows how high the monster kind values the strength hierarchy, and what could become of the Wyvern leader if her strength diminished, putting her in the same league as the rest of the Wyverns.

It might just be him being sentimental about it, but the Wyvern leader was the first monster kind that he came across, the first he was able to come to reason with, that is why he wanted her to be among the leaders of the empire, and to become that, she had to be distinguishable from the rest.

She slowly raised her brows up, then stared at Orun with her gaze fixated on him, conveying an expression that had Orun confused.

"Orun!".

The voice that called out to him sounded sweet, soft and excessively womanly.

In between all those, is a sound that echoed in a very familiar tone in Orun's ears.

Perhaps he was already aware of it from the moment he laid his eyes on her, and was simply trying to convince himself otherwise.

Or he did not really know who she was, and only just realized it after listening to her voice.

Whichever one it was, it all came down to one single question; how?

"Wildria! Is that really you".

The tone he used, appropriately conveyed how shocked he was to see the Wyvern leader, whose height and appearance, was formidable, and scary, now turned into a human like figure with dark soft like skin.

"have my appearance really changed that much? Enough to have you confusing me with another".

Orun knew she was being sarcastic with her words, but he just couldn't get around how she said it. Listening to the voice of the Wyvern leader with a human like expression, is........ Troubling to Orun.

He was aware of what evolution does to a monster, and how it grants them a new evolved form, stronger than what they had in the past.

Orun knew about all that, as he had been a part of its changes. What he did not know about, is that evolution itself, was capable of changing one's appearance from a four legged being with wings, to being a humanoid sized figure without wings and three horns on the forehead.

He has yet to come across such changes before, until now that is.

'Oracle, can you confirm if she is really Wildria'.

She had confirmed it herself, Orun has also confirmed after listening to her voice, but doubts, still lingered within him.

When he evolved from an ancient Goblin to an infernal Goblin, the changes that happened to his body, were due to Oracle's reconstruction of his body using the mana from the fire guardian tomb.

It was done that way so that his new body would be able to withstand the absorption of the fire guardian's inheritance.

Wildria's case however, is different from his. She evolved, not had her body reconstructed, but evolved. Those are two different situations, and have dissimilar conditions applying to them.

Her evolution process, picked her out as an odd amongst the other Wyverns whose evolution physical reward, was growing bigger, with red patterns on their body, and a few other changes applied.

Apart from those changes, they still maintained their form as a winged type monster specie, unlike Wildria whose evolution only seeks to erase any traces of her past self as a winged type monster.

He wanted to confirm with Oracle that nothing was wrong with her, and she is really the Wyvern leader with a humanoid figure, and not another separate entity of its own.

[ Master, her aura signature matches with the Wyvern leader, the one named by master as Wildria ].

"you are really the Wyvern leader Wildria? But how? How did you evolve into a form like this".

Orun still could not make sense of how her appearance came to be. She is a winged specie who should have evolved into an higher tier winged tier specie.

Her current situation, is the same thing as having a human suddenly become a goat, not by nature or characteristics, but in terms of physical appearance.

"what happened to you? I expected your appearance to be more.... Intimidating after the evolution, not you having a cute, fluffy appearance".

Orun was displeased with the appearance that Wildria had become after her evolution.

She is a monster who is set to be one of the core leaders in the foundation of the monster empire.

Most monster kind will have a hard time taking her very seriously with the appearance she had now doned on, unlike her former appearance that was enough to silence any mouth just from spotting her presence from miles away.

His appearance, similar to that of a teenager, was still usable because his face still embodies the monster like feature, and with a stern face, he could prove to be very intimidating monster unlike Wildria who is less scary and more cute..... A characteristic that could get one in trouble in the world of monsters.
