Golting and the Goblins

Golting and the Goblins

By

Bed Head

Golting slithered across the wood, his black cloak swaying behind him.
His green eyes glittered in the moonlight. On his left cheek was a scar
that no one ever knew about because he always kept his hood up.
Suddenly he fell to the ground.
He fell, or rather hid, because there was a goblin up ahead.
"Hey you, over here", shouted Golting
"Huh?", the goblin replied, looking in Golting's direction.
Golting took out a dagger and threw it at the goblin, killing him
instantly. He ran over to the dead goblin and took a mysterious crystal
ball from him.
"I'll have to show this to the professor", Golting said, and he
went.
"Professor! I found this crystal ball on one of the goblins I killed
earlier today.", Golting called.
"Ahhh! I know this. The ball of Matrix Castle. But what's it doing
here? Golting, you must get this to Matrix Castle's owner, Rantron
fast. Here are the directions. Good luck!" the professor replied,
giving him the directions. Golting walked out the door, heading for his
destination.
"Finally, I've reached the castle", Golting said cheerily. He was
heading for the door when a goblin came out of the castle.
"Intruder!" shouted the goblin. Just then loads more goblins sprang out
of a bush and surrounded Golting. One of the goblins had a saucepan and
hit Golting on the head, knocking him out.
"Oh, where am I?" Golting finally awoke and found himself in the
goblins' hideout tied up in a corner.
"You're not going anywhere Golting, huh huh huh!" remarked the goblin
Gauntlet, Golting hadn't seen. He struggled to get out.
"Get me out of here!", screamed Golting. He struggled some more but the
ropes wouldn't break. He felt like a rat trying to get out of a paper
bag.
"Gauntlet! The torturing will start in ten minutes." A goblin suddenly
walked in.
"Torturing?" Golting asked curiously.
"Oh yes, any intruders get tortured." Gauntlet sneered as the other
goblin went away. Just then Golting saw something a few yards off. It
was a can on an uneven shelf.
"I've got it", murmured Golting under his breath. He started to run
against the wall but Gauntlet didn't hear him. Eventually the shelf
jogged and the can fell off.
"What was that?" Gauntlet said, running out the door. "Now just to cut
the??.. where's my sword?"
Just then a bird flew through the window and landed on the table with
Golting's weapon on it.
"Oh drat I'm doomed. I'll never get the crystal ball to the castle,"
Golting exclaimed to himself.
"Five minutes!" the goblin he had seen before shouted in.
"Five minutes they wait. What's that in my pocket? Bird seeds! They
must be the ones I found in the forest." He reached into his pocket and
threw them on the floor. The bird saw the seeds and flew over and
because it had landed on the sword it brought it with him. Golting cut
himself free and ran out the door.
After lots of bangs and bashes with the goblins Golting got back to the
castle. He got inside and got to Rantron.
"I've been expecting you. The ball please" Rantron asked.
"How did you know I've got it?" replied Golting.
"I've been watching you through my magic mirror. Um the ball?" enquired
Rantron.
"If you've got the mirror than why do you need the crystal ball?" asked
Golting.
"Look it'll destroy all the goblins in the area", replied Rantron.
Golting gave him the ball and went home.
"I'm back", said Golting. "I've delivered the ball but why did I have
to do it so fast?"
"Oh, you didn't. My sausages were burning!" replied the professor.
