What is her choice to the offer?

A new guest for the night

Finally the goblin returns her gaze to your own " Adde agree with Blacktooth, i stay night if i like will help" she says and nods and you look to Selah who undoes the ropes that bind the green creature effortlessly. rising up to your full impressive height you nod to her and then look to your sister " Selah see that our guest is taken care of, give her something fitting a free goblin and get her washed up" you order " dinner will be soon and she will be joining us for the feast to come" you announce, to which your sister salutes and tells the goblin to fallow her as she leaves the goblin gives one last glance before leaving with her from your chamber and you chuckle a bit " well now seems being the leader was more interesting than i thought it would be" you comment to no one but yourself before going back to some of your plans to pass the time.

Finally the moon is out in the sky which signals the time of the feast to begin, now course your supplies would not allow you to do such a thing every night at the moment but you have enough to allow a celebration of your new kingdoms founding, no self respecting leader wouldn't make a show of something so important. By the time you are ready to begin the orcs of your new kingdom gather below your throne rooms improvised balcony to hear their leaders words. near you are the most important of your kind, your family, the orc craft masters who will help build up your new kingdom and of course Adde, who as your sister had been ordered is both cleaned up and dressed in a white toga like outfit which suited her far better than the potato sack like clothing she was wearing before.

Below you the crowd waits long tables laid out with food to be eaten but waiting for their leader to speak you deny them no longer " Listen up!" you roar out making the cave go silent as your voice rings like thunder " I know your all itching to get in for a good fight and start taking this place over, and believe me we're going to do just that!" you yell the sea of bodies below roar and bellow in agreement as feet stomp the cave floor and soldiers bash weapons against shields " But for tonight we're gonna celebrate our new home!" you bellow again and once more cheers and applause reach your ears " Drink up! Eat your fill! for tomorrow the real work starts! soon everyone will know of the great city we make here! it will be spoken of in whispers of fear and awe! when they talk about our city! A city of orcs who are so dangerous and so lethal we fight like the dragons themselves!" you shout and the biggest yell yet reaches your ears and makes your grin grow " so raise your glasses and give a cheer for our city of Dragon Ridge!" you yell the new name for your home which earns the loudest response yet as they stomp their feet chanting the new name " Dragon Ridge! Dragon Ridge! Dragon Ridge!" the chant fills the whole cavern.

You return to your guests and family to tend to the affairs needed to keep the city running, your own private meal with those who accompanied you to the speech is much less crowded as below but no less interesting, the orc crafting masters inform you of their ideas to improve the city some of which are so insane you cant help but smile at them. your family sits close eating and enjoying the good life as when your father ruled a great kingdom of his own. Adde is taking advantage of the food eating so much you have no idea where she putting it all but then again she must not have eaten as much as she liked under the goblin king of hers.

Finally after much feasting and drinking the meal passes and orcs that are still able to move after so much food and drink begin to return to their makeshift homes or other places they are staying for the moment till proper arrangements can be made, those that cant sleep where they fell at tables or on the floor of the cave. your own family returns to their own rooms and in the large section of cavern you have claimed for yourself and Adde as a guest is given her own room as well for the evening.

Your own cavern room is sparsely decorated a heavy chest that contains your possessions from training and family mementos sits in a corner of the room, a few lights keep the room lit up so you can see, and your huge bed sits against the wall. It is big enough for several of your size to fill it if need be and covered in furs of great beasts woven into sheets. Sitting down in the bed your sword as always nearby you are going over a few plans while you are up when you hear something outside you room.

" I know you are there come in" you say loudly looking at the dark entrance, not knowing if it be friend or foe who waits outside but you are ready to greet both properly in due course.

Who or what is lurking in the darkness?
