The Otherworlders Tale

With his garden dirtied hands he stood up, eyeing the people passing through.

They are what the villagers called "otherworlders."

He stopped planting new seeds to approach the visitors, due to his responsibility as the sole guard.

The village was never a place that thrived, maybe due to it's infertile lands or the monsters that commonly gather.

It was their home and they make do with what they have to survive.

A few years back, the able men built a wooden palisade that serves as protection from the monsters.

But even with that there never was a month with no accidents occurring.

This was the problem of the village named "Erdale" had to bear.

The otherworlders had appeared once before. It was night, and the sky wasn't in their favor when

Good Luck!"

Reeve felt enthusiastic about the matter. When he reported it to the elders they were pleased by the news.

The village maidens even cooked food for their returning heroes as a sign of thanks.

It was supposed to be food that they would use only for the upcoming feast for the angels but today was a special occasion as well.

Darkness encroached the lands, the village was consumed by it as well.

The torches lit the palisade as Reeve waited at the gates for the otherworlders.

Hours passed but no one came, the cold of the night didn't bother him too much.

They were casually walking but he noticed that they were stained with blood.. green blood to be precise.

Green Blood could only mean Goblin's Blood in these parts so if he's guessing right then they succeeded in defeating the nest.

This made his heart beat fast with joy, he felt like passing out but this would be too pathetic of a look to be shown in front of the

'This is wrong! Something is wrong!' Reeve thought as he was still dragged like a doll by one of the three.

"Well then Alef place us in a barrier. Loto cast the paralysis onto everyone."

""Understood!""

After paralysing everyone, they casted a barrier near the food prepared. They ate as enraged goblins appeared slowly from the darkness.

They were enraged by the destruction of their home so much so that the goblins turned red.

In this world, goblins will turn red if their nest which is where their queen could live is destroyed.

The goblins whose queen has been killed will enter an enraged state until they die or be killed.

This is such a common knowledge that it would be nonsense to think that these three would not know of it.

'So if we defeat the monsters that will attack the village then we get to have your reward?'

His words rang into his mind. He came to a realization that they had not intended to help right from the start.

Even though the villagers couldn't move, the screams can be heard while they were massacred.

Children, women, elderly and injured men alike were brutally killed by the
