Adventures Of A Goblin



He is in no position to start worrying about a world that not only he lives in. About a world where other powerful entities reside in.

"Pillars? Gods?". Monryck retorted in confusion.

Theron also backed Monryck up with a look of confusion set on his face. He and Monryck are the only ones in the room who did not understand the two words, pillars, and Gods.

Before Orun came along and brought himself into their lives, the only thing that a member of the monster race like Theron and Monryck ever cared about, is how to survive the next day.

An event or activity extending to disturbing the balance of the world itself was beyond their reach or imagination.

They never thought that a day would come when they will get to sit with big shots like an elven queen or the elven elders.

That is why they know nothing about the existence of the pillars or the Gods that Orun made mentioned.

"It's a long story, but for now just imagine the two figures as I and Wildria, but on a larger scale like the very world we are in".

By asking them to imagine the pillars and the Gods as himself and Wildria, Orun is making it known to them what the duties of the pillars and the Gods are.

And by specifying the larger scale on a world level, he is making it understandable to them exactly what it is that they rule over.

"That is a good suggestion Lord Orun. The pillars will be willing to help, but the same cannot be said for the Gods or the humans joining forces with other race that is not of the human race".

Dilya agreed with Orun's suggestion and even thinks very highly of it.

"And the reason for that will be..." Orun asked in expectant of an explanation from Dilya.

No matter how prideful they are about the whole racial superiority, Orun believes that there has to be a point where they will draw the line on that.

Look past the racial difference and be willing to join hands with other races, to work together to keep their world safe from an impending doom that seeks to destroy it.

"The human or the Gods do not require the help of other races because they have him".

"Him?..." He repeated after Dilya, thinking about what she meant by him. Orun's memory was jogged, and the mention of what 'him' was, became clear to him.

"Yes, him. He alone will have no trouble going up against Mammon, that is why they have nothing to fear from his army or him".

Orun has been briefed on who they are, and in actuality, he never thought that he was that powerful enough to face Mammon and his armies of demons.

He has no trouble believing it is possible but only questions the possibility of it. That is how he feels, and he finds it very confusing.

"There is also the three other cardinals? Pardon me. I meant the two other cardinals, the paladins, and the entire human army to back them up".

Orun understood why Dilya was quick to change the three to two. There were once four, reduced to three with caius out of the number. She already mentioned that 'him'who was also a cardinal, leaving behind two cardinals to make mention of.

"As for the Pillars, the only reason why they have so far not interfered or done anything against Mammon is that they need permission to venture into the territory of another Pillar".

After her sentence, Orun's eyebrow slightly twitched.

He already had a feeling that she was one of them after she kept asking how he did not remember her.

That was also what prompted him to mention calling upon the pillars, because he assumed she would have an idea of how to, as the leader of a race like the elves.

There is a set rule between the pillars, to prevent one pillar from getting covetous of the territory owned by another pillar.

To stop that from happening, the pillars all decided on a rule that states; to be granted entry into the territory of a pillar member by another pillar member, there is need for the pillar member to acquire permission from the pillar member whose territory the pillar member desires to enter.

This rule also helps to prevent a case of two pillars fighting amongst themselves.

A situation like that happening will turn out worse for both sides, that is why the rule is strictly enforced regardless of the circumstances.

"If you call for them and they do agree to come, is there any chance they will be coming with an army of their own? Or will it be just the remaining three of them".

Orun wants to know what he is getting himself into, and what help exactly will be coming to their aide, if it is a three-man help or an army type help.

He can only assume how strong the pillars are, putting them to be three times what he is capable of, or even five.

Orun has nothing to base his assumptions on, and can only make speculations based on what they stand for.

Regardless, he decided to set his expectations of them very high for no other reason except for them being older than he is.

He understands that with folks like that, their true battle strength is dependent on their age and experience, and in most cases, age equals experience.

He does hope that if it is just going to be the three of them, they should have the strength to make up for the numbers.

And, a part of him desperately hopes that it is not just going to be the three of them, but with a whole army behind them.

"Not to worry. For a threat like this, they are going to be coming with their army". Dilya declared.

While her words do help to put a part of Orun at ease, it does not completely negate the threat Mammon poses.

He is being very cautious right now, and that has led him to question if the pillars will be enough to handle the situation.
