Back on the road

A few hours later, I awoke to loud thumping against the door of the shack. I looked around, but Grok was nowhere to be found. His seed, however, was still around...

Korant entered through the door as I had just finished putting myself together.

“My... prince?”, he said, a bit worried.
“Ah, Korant! I was wondering when you would show up!”

There was no way I’d let Korant learn what Grok had... well... done.

“Apologies, prince. I had to talk though the misunderstanding with the goblins. They’ve apologised now.”
“Misunderstanding? Apology?”
“Yes. Apparently, they were informed that we would be passing through. They had simply forgotten!”
“Had they really...”
“Yes. Nothing to sweat about though, I’ve ironed everything out with them. Let’s go! The dwarves are waiting.”

It was all a... misunderstanding? Fucking really?

As Korant and I went back to our horses, I saw a couple of the goblins talking to the dwarves. A shiver passed through me as I saw who was standing next to them... Grok! He saw me, too, and smiled a toothy grin back at me. That fucking orc, the audacity! I made sure to remember him. I would tell my sister everything about him! Well, not everything. I mean I would have him punished, that’s all.

I kept thinking of all the different punishments I would dole out on Grok as we started back on the road to Auberdine...
