[i]Blood so much blood....have to keep moving[/i] that was the only thing on the goblins mind. He traveled with 4 other goblins that were a part of his tribe. He was one of the young ones and he wasn't a fighter by any means but he felt safe where he was. He thought that nothing would force him into a situation like this but he was proven wrong in such a big way. The goblins had to run when there home was attacked and Shiba was told to take the book with him and get his brothers and sister to safety. Shiba didn't want to be a leader but he had no choice. He made sure everyone was running behind him making sure not to leave any of them behind after what they just witnessed they shouldn't be alone. 

Each one was their as they watched their family get killed by what could only be an army of the damned. Each of them were different in their own ways and they weren't completely hopeless as they kept moving each of them reaching the end of their ropes in terms of hunger and exhaustion but they weren't safe and they couldn't stop anywhere or they would be easy pickings for one of the more hungry predators that saw a bunch of tired goblins as a good meal.

It wasn't long until the goblins heard rustling out in the bushes in front of their home Grandpa being the patriarch and the one guarding their home he stood up and held his cane like a weapon as he stood in front of the cave he may not be strong but he will be damned if he would let any beast come here and attack the young ones while their was a breath inside him. [color=8dc73f]"Back in the cave!"[/color] he told everyone in an uncharacteristic commanding voice letting the young ones know he wasn't playing around and that this could be a serious issue. Once they were inside he looked out to the bushes watching and waiting but soon enough he saw that it was five goblins all looking tired and injured and one carrying an unusually large book which looked as big as the goblins own chest. 

Grandpa was the first to speak [color=8dc73f]"Who are you and why are you here"[/color] he said ready to take them he may be old but he was sure he could use his stick to keep them out. 

The goblin in front of him that stood a foot in front of his family said [color=00aeef]"Please my name is Shiba, these are my brothers and sister. Please help us...our home was attacked and we have nowhere to go"[/color] he said sadly and without the old man realizing it Shiba used his soothing skill. The old goblin then calmed down from his fighting stance and turned to his young ones before saying. [color=8dc73f]"Seems we are not alone young ones. What do you say we do?"[/color] he said calmer and letting them decide he may be the patriarch but that was because he was older and wiser but he could see it from the goblins before him that they weren't lying and really did need a place to stay and recover. He would let the new generation choose whether or not to have more members in their family. 

Shiba then panted a little before he then said [color=00aeef]"Let us join you and I promise we will work by your side, and...[/color] Shiba paused trying to say the words but he felt torn having to say it but he couldn't let his family die because he wanted to keep a book.[color=00aeef]"I'll even give you my book...it teaches magic"[/color] he said knowing that magic was something that could make anyone's life easier especially theirs. One of his older brothers was a mage and he found the book himself he trusted it to Shiba for safe keeping.
