“the goblin was ready to fight but didn’t want to strike first”

“he didn’t want to get into any unnecessary combat”

“so he waited long enough to start a conversation”

“when he knew my mom wasn’t an enemy he asked for help instead”

“he and several of his friends were down in the dungeon with a mission”

“and half of them were already dead”

“there were zombies outside”

“hundreds of them”

“maybe thousands”

“it was one of the worst outbreaks in history i think”

“and my mom knew this is what she bloomed for”

“for when this outbreak grew too big to stop”

“and life needed to lie dormant for a while”

“my mom explained this to the goblin”

“but the goblin said that was a bad plan”

“he had a better one”
