Adventures Of A Goblin

Orun's word was meant to serve as a reminder to the Elven queen, to make her aware of what he is and what he can do.

"You should also be aware that I am Orun, a monster. I am not the fire guardian who was an elf".

If the foundation of her trust is because of him inheriting the fire guardian's energy, Orun wanted to remind her that he is not the fire guardian.

What he inherited is the energy of the fire guardian, not his will. He has no desire to be of help to the Elven nation, nor does he feel any attachment to their cause.

What they are to him, is a complete stranger who are weirdly acting too nice for a reason that he is still blind to.

"I am well aware of what you are. Believe me, I know you more than you think you know yourself".

"What is that supposed to....."

"We should focus now, the duel is about to begin".

Orun wanted to ask the Elven queen what she meant by the words she just spoke out.

Her expression and body language when she talked about Orun, was as if she was talking to an old acquaintance of hers.

The way she has been acting toward him ever since he came to the nation. Her gesture, her way of speech and the way she looks at him, none of it makes any sense to Orun.

He could have sworn that he hasn't met her before, nor does he have any memories of her to warrant her acting this way toward him.

"You and the last fire guardian, were you both together".

Orun is sure that he does not know her from somewhere, and his memory also serves him right as there is no record of her.

If that is the case, the only reason Orun could link her friendly behavior to is the existence of the last fire guardian.

She said the last fire guardian was an elf, that would mean that she knows him, very close even as he was a member of the council of elders.

He is a monster that inherited the energy of the fire guardian. From Dilya's point of view, it could be that she believes the fire guardian still lives on in Orun.

He can't properly explain how he came up with that notion, but seeing as how monsters believe in strength as a way to show superiority.

The same could apply to the elves, but in a different view like the elves also might believe in a dead being living on in the body of their successor if that makes any sense.

"When the duel is over, I will tell you what you want to know".

This is another way for her to discard Orun's question and not give him the answer he wants to know.

Pointlessly keeping him on hold by using the current circumstances that was only able to come about due to the mood she set.

If she really wanted to tell him, she would have requested for him to come to her office or a private place, not an arena that she knows is a public place and would have a public activity being carried out as of current.

"If you say so. For the record, I will be making my leave back to my home in the evening with or without getting an answer from you".

Orun wanted her to know that he has no plan to extend his stay.

What she has been doing all this while his stall down Orun with events that he could care less about, and that ends today.

If she isn't going to tell him anything, then why bother inviting him over?

And if her goal all this while is just so she could take an upclose look at the successor to the former fire guardian, her goal has already been accomplished.

If there is an alternative goal attached to the one he just mentioned, like having the intention to forever keep him here because he is the successor of the fire guardian who is originally an elf that originated from their nation.

If that is her goal all along, then she is in for a big set of trouble. She had better believe that Orun would not be going down that easy.

"Not to worry spirit king, I will be sure to tell you all that you want to know in due time".

She answered while having her face glued in the direction at the contestants that are about to have a go at each other.

It was easy to spot out which one was which due to the color the two contestants were putting on.

Haera belonging to the Onmin Clan was putting on a blue colored gladiator clothing while Elmon, a member of the Inanin Clan had on him a red colored clothing.

The color of their clothing also serves as a representation to what tribe they are from, the color of water and fire.

They both had a stare off contest, waiting for the announcer to ring the go bell for them to start fighting.

"BEGIN!!"

Elmon made the first movement the very second that the signal was given to them.

He ran in the direction of Haera and when he had almost gotten to where she was standing, Elmon took to the sky.

Elmon had both his fist coated in flames as he makes his way down.

Haera had her head raised up, waiting for Elmon to come closer down to her before she started attacking.

When he got within her desired range, Haera unleashed her attack by moving her body around in weird forms.

As she was moving, the presence of water slowly making its way to becoming more visible and following through with her movements could be seen.

Haera continued the movement for a while and then put a stop on it with her final pose as her raising up her two hands.

In response to her body gesture, the water that was coiling itself around Haera also did as Haera did and moved its way up in the direction that Elmon was coming from.
