Use your power to gain Goblin subjects

“Since you are the Guardian of the Mists, you are able to use some of the most powerful magics, and acquiring new magic will come very easy to you, having already absorbed the shadowstone , you are now a shadowmancer, with the ability to harness all magics, with practice, but you also have a base magic that you should already know, for it is the foundation of the Guardians power, that is the power of shadow. With this power you can command and control all shadows and their connections, don’t worry this magic will come naturally to you, all you have to do is think it and it happens,” Aura explained.

“Just like that ? Okay let me give it a try, I’ll be right back,” you say.

“No, after you escape, you must come to me and the temple, don’t worry you will know the way.” After saying this the vision of Aura cleared my mind.

You were back in the goblin cage, you turned and saw that the goblin that was with Mrs. Kline was about to use his dagger on her. Almost without reacting shadows from the swamp, swooped in like two giants clawed hands and grabbed the goblin, and in a flash ripped the creature in two, instantly killing him. The other goblins, about ten of them, who were standing around began to scream as two more were snatched up and ripped in two. As the remaining goblins were trying in vain to slash at the shadowed claws, you had another pair of the giant claws rip open your cage door, then the claws turned into two shaded figures to serve as your guards, all done with the mere thought of your mind. As you have more shadow claws free the dogs, you walk toward the surviving goblins with your guards in hand. The remaining goblins quickly fall to their knees and scream for what can only be mercy. As you are about to order the shadows to strike, you begin to wonder if you may be able to use these goblins for any purpose. Just then you notice that one of the huts in the camp had some rustling going on inside it. You head toward the hut in question, which seems to be the largest of the huts in the camp, you command more shadows to open the flap to the hut. Upon opening the hut door , you come to witness a fire lit room with what seems to be a throne on the far side of it. The throne is occupied by an overly decorated figure with a headdress, and next to it were to more goblins with weapons, though all of the goblins , and even the figure on the throne, were all extremely scared and shaking. The throne room guards dropped their weapons and fell to the ground, and the figure on the throne shaking still, got up walked over to you and then he too dropped to the ground and bowed at your feet.

“My lord, it must be you… you have returned. Please forgive us for this horrible treatment, we had no idea that you were the guardian of the Mists.” The figure in the headdress said.

“You will call me Emperor, now, who are you who thinks to treat me, and my companions as such.” You say, almost hesitant to take on such a persona.

“Forgive me Emperor, my lord I am Shantok, chief of the Bastnickar Tribe, and we are at your disposal, please tells me how I may satisfy you my lord,” The Chief says, still bowing.

“First, you will tell your soldiers and the rest of your clan, that I am their Emperor, then you will give my companions all the clothes and equipment they need, after that we will have a closed council, just the two of us, on matters at hand, now stand and deliver my requests,” you order the Chief.

“Yes my lord, it will be done right away,”Shantok says.

You watch as the Chief runs outside and quickly gives his speech.

“This is our lord and Emperor, the Guardian of the Mists…” the Chief explains and orders the other goblins to do as instructed.

“What , what are they all talking about?” the three women who make up your companions wonder.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you…” you quickly lay out the whole story for the girls.

It was hard for the girls to take your story as being true, but then again they just witness goblins and giants claws of shadows.
“How can you be this Guardian?” Your mom asks.

“I just am,” you answer. “ Shantok are you ready for council?”

“Yes my lord.” He replies.

What's happens at the council?
