Goblin Changeling

Previously, on the Goblin Changeling:

"So, Little Man" taunted Uglukk, looming over Sebastien, the High Orc towering over the small goblin. "What are you going to do?" he repeated himself.

Every last muscle on Sebastien's body wanted to fly, ran away quick and fast, and find a small, deep hole where no such an orc could ever reach him. But instead, he mustered all of his willpower.

"You are drunk, Brother Uglukk. You should go to bed, and we may talk it later" he said instead, talking in liturgical Dumian, so the goblins watching all of this scene couldn't understand.

"I'm no Brother of you, little man" Uglukk said, as he stared down at the goblin, speaking the dialect of the goblins. Oh god, he was way drunk than he first though, Sebastien realised. And him calling Little Man sounded dangerous.

"We may talk this later. Not here, not now." Sebastien said, trying to diffuse the situation. But Uglukk was fixated.

"I could be the brother of a man. I could be the brother of a goblin. But somebody who had fought by my side, and shed blood with me. A brother-in-arms. But a paper-pusher? A little confused goblin thinking he's a man? You are no brother of mine."

"Then we should wait Brother Isidore to come and talk to you. Now, if you please, can we..." Sebastien tried to say, as Uglukk came even closer.

"I know no Isidore, either." Uglukk said. "I knew him once, when he was Zlogg. And what an orc he was... but this monk life? It's no life for an orc... Monasteries? It makes you WEAK."

"You don't know what are you talking about." Sebastien said defensively, taking a step back... and realising he was against the open door. He looked to the sides. The interior of the room -with the staring goblins, watching silently- or the darkness of the cave system of the Goblin Den.

"I know that no orc -and no goblin- should live like that" Uglukk said. "So that's why I'm not doing that anymore... And you should do the same, Little Man! Who's here to tell you what to do or not to do? I'm an Orc in a goblin town. I should rule this place! And I could be gracious, too -you could take a couple of wives as well! I don't need all the goblin women either -just the best ones!-"

Sebastien tought he could still try to make a run for it. Instead, he talked.

"You have made your vows to the Order of the Hirondelle and the Karentian Church. You can't break your own word!"

"I'm an Orc. I can break many things. Like a little annoying goblin, for example" Uglukk said fiercely. As he had came closer, Sebastien was holding his staff in front of himself, as a feeble barrier. The orc tried to snatch it away from his hands, but Sebastien didn't let it go. Neither he ran away -which was quite much against his nature-.

"You disgrace yourself and the Hirondelle. Are you forgetting, that you every action is being witnessed?!"

Uglukk tried to jerk the staff free from the hands of the goblin.

"Zlogg isn't here" Uglukk said, as he finally took the staff from Sebastien's hand. He turned the staff around, pointing the knotty head to the nose of Sebastien. "So. Piss off. Or face the consecuences."

Sebastien fell like she should run like hell away. That was what his body screamed. Instead, he stood there.

"I'm not speaking of Brother Isidore, you dumb Orc!"

Uglukk chuckled.

"What's that? Goblin Courage? You have to learn how to be a goblin, Little Man. And what happens to goblins with courage."

As he said this, Uglukk raised the staff, ready to strike down...
