Beneath The Alpha's Armor

Chapter 9: chapter 9: Grizzil the Goblin



Master Sorcerer Obrien with his long flowing robes and a beard that seemed to have a life of its own, paced back and forth in his tower. He stopped abruptly and turned to his trusted goblin, Grizzil, who was busy trying to balance a stack of enchanted books on his head.

Master Obrien "Grizzil, I have a task of utmost importance for you."

.. (books tumbling down) "Oh, what now, Master? Another goblin to tame? A cursed artifact to retrieve?" Grizzil asked with a frown on his face, clearly not pleased.

Master Obrien.. "No, no. This is far more delicate. You must venture into the human world and find the two wolf brothers, Aven and Cyrus. Their uncle, Lord Alexander, is hunting them down. They need to lay low with their wolf abilities."

Grizzil (scratching his head) "Wolf brothers, huh? Sounds like a howling good time."

Master Obrien.. "This is serious, Grizzil! Use the portal and be quick about it."

Grizzil saluted clumsily and waddled over to the shimmering portal. With a deep breath, he stepped through and found himself in the middle of a bustling human town. He was going to deliver the message and also have a good time... 'well there's not a lot of activities to do in his real world'.

"be a good boy, off you go" Master Obrien said as he made the portal transfer Grizzil..

Human world....

Grizzil looked around, bewildered by the noise and the sheer number of humans. He spotted a bakery and his stomach growled, finally some bread with more sugar... Urgh his hunger toppled.

Grizzil:"Maybe a snack first. Can't warn on an empty stomach." he said with a mischievous smile

As fast as he could he darted into the bakery, emerging moments later with a mouthful of pastries. As he wandered the streets, he finally spotted two men who looked suspiciously like they might be the wolf brothers, given their wild hair and the way they sniffed the air. The human world was really treating them nicely.

Grizzil (muttering) "Here goes nothing."

Well they wont freak out so he confidently approached them, trying to look as inconspicuous as a goblin in a human town could.

Grizzil "Psst! You two! Aven and Cyrus, right?"

The brothers turned, eyes narrowing. But they could not see anyone.

"eyy down here...!"

Aven"Who's asking?"

"I'm Grizzil, sent by Master Sorcerer Obrien, your uncle, Lord Alexander, is after you. You need to lay low with your wolf abilities. Although from the looks of things here, you not doing any wolf activities, and you blending in just perfect" Grizzil said with inspecting eyes while munching on his pastries.

Cyrus (raising an eyebrow) "And why should we trust a goblin with crumbs all over his face?"

.. Grizzil (wiping his face) "Because if you don't, you'll be wolf stew by sundown!"

The brothers exchanged glances and then burst out laughing.

Aven "Alright, Grizzil. We'll take your word for it. But next time, maybe clean up before delivering urgent messages."... Yupp that's Aven... Clean freak..

.. Grizzil (grinning) "Deal. Now, let's get out of here before someone notices the goblin talking to wolves, who happen to be human, yeah.."

The brothers just looked at each other, abd stood up. Seems like he lil guy is definitely tagging along with them.
