Adventures Of A Goblin

His red colored eyelashes raised itself up, exposing his crimson cold eyes to the comfort of the sun brushing over his body.

"it's morning already? Man, time sure flies fast".

When he and Oracle finished their talk, Orun with suspicion wandering through his mind, stared off at the moon until he slept off.

He lifted his upper body while his lower body was still rested on the ground.

"i will never get used to sleeping in the night and waking up in the morning without having to worry about getting attacked in my sleep".

The life of living in the Dungeon is now far behind him, and has now adopted the life of living in the forest. Just in case, he always made sure to release his Aura before sleeping, a safety measure to prevent any monsters from coming anywhere near him.

He values living in a place where there are no humans to glare at him with confound hatred, a place where he can live in while still being himself, such is the kind of place Orun seeks to put himself in.

"having to change my ways because of some nasty human rules or human hatred, is not the way I roll".

Orun has made his mind up to fully committing himself to living in an environment without humans, and surrounding himself with races that are more like him, races who are not tied down by human rules.

He raised his whole body up in one flip, and started stretching it out.

"a morning exercise is one way to keep a body healthy, not that my body needs it though".

*Growl, Growl*

"okay, this is starting to weird me out. I was sure I just finished more than a dozen deers yesterday night, and now my stomach is already asking for more? Seriously?".

Orun has discovered that his appetite has grown far more since his awakening. He now eats more than a dozen of his weight, and still gets hungry shortly after.

Catching a prey is not exactly a problem for him, the problem lies in the possibility of his appetite getting even worse than it already is.

If things keep on going at this rate, he might end up with an appetite that takes feeding over a thousand to quench.

[there is nothing to fear master. Your appetite's growth is only going to go this far. And the cause for your overbearing appetite, is as a result of your body wanting to replenish the nutrients it has been deprived of for the past seven hundred years].

"hey Oracle, morning to you too. What a bright day it is, don't you agree".

[yes master, a bright day indeed].

"okaayy....."

He felt weird conversing with Oracle after the events that happened yesterday night. Harboring suspicious intent towards it, has made Orun more hesitant and careful around it.

[master, I sense you trying to keep your distance from me. Did I in any way offend master].

"no Oracle, you did not. I am just, I don't know, being paranoid towards you. You know, after what happened yesterday".

[Master I.....].

"i get it Oracle. You exist only to serve me, I understand that well. It's just, I am a being with emotions, and it's normal for me to have doubts when I get suspicious of someone. Though I guess that shouldn't apply in this case, especially when you have saved me multiple times over".

Orun thought it ridiculous that he would ever be suspicious of Oracle. When he absorbed the fire guardian's energy, Oracle was the one that helped him survive it, or when he faced the Goblin king, it was this same Oracle that gave him a way out of the loophole he should have been trapped in by now.

Oracle has always been there for him through hard times, since he was born, it was Oracle. And now, to doubt Oracle over the words of miss dragon who has done absolutely nothing for him except for naming him, giving him a boost with her encounter, and the clothing she gave him. Other than those things, miss dragon has done nothing else.

She is a complete stranger and an outsider to Orun, and he so foolishly wanted to believe miss dragon over the same entity that had been with him all this time? The same entity that brought him out of any miserable or hopless situation he finds himself in.

Orun realizing all this points, felt bad for the way he treated Oracle.

"Oracle".

[yes master].

"i am sorry for ever doubting you, ever".

[its okay master. I exist only to serve master, and I am certain I am lacking in all aspects, putting your live at risk, and not being competent enough to serve you. Master has every right to be mad at me, and even to destroy me if master so wishes].

"it's not okay Oracle. You don't have emotions and feelings of the likes, you only have the necessity to serve me, but that's you. I have feelings, I think, and I have thought of you as family and accepted you as one. In your stead, I will decide when I treat you unfairly and when I do justly".

"what I said to you, was very unfair. In my attempt of wanting to think of myself as the offspring of one big entity, I neglected what was more important to me, and that's you".

"you and I, being together like this, is more than I could have asked for. I find myself very lucky to have you with me Oracle, and I must have been so stupid as to take your presence for granted".

"related or not, miss dragon means absolutely nothing to me. You on the other hand, mean everything to me. We are like, two peas in a pod if you know what I mean".

[i do master].

"there you have it Oracle, forgive this ignorant brother of yours for doubting you for even a second. Can you do that".

[though I do not understand why master begs for forgiveness from me, I do however want master to not be angry with me, or discard me].

"see, we are getting somewhere little brother, or little sister? Hmm, there is also the age to consider".

[i am master's skill. I do not possess neither a gender nor a specific age, for I have existed since the dawn of master's existence].

"i see? Little Sister it is then".

Oracle was perplexed on why Orun felt the need to apologize to it, but could not question him. As a skill, it is entitled to pleasing Orun in aspect of his life, and that includes accepting all sorts of criticism from him.

Orun being mad at it or not finding it trustworthy enough, are all regarded by Oracle as its own shortcoming and inability to satisfy all of Orun's needs.

"okay Oracle, we have poured our hearts out to each other, so what do you say we go find me some food to eat".

Orun says, rubbing his stomach and squeezing it in.

"i have been starving since I woke up. Papa needs to get himself some meat to feast on".

[master, I sense a lifeform hovering above master].

"a lifeform? Must be one of those bird species. I just hope they don't send their poop flying down on me".

[no master, the body mass of said lifeform is bigger than any bird master has ever come across].

"tbat big? I wonder what is it".

Orun raised his head up, placing his hand above his eyes to shade it from the sunlight as he gazes up in the sky to see what lifeform Oracle is referring to.
