The Negotiation
Zariah stood before the goblin crowd.
Covered in glitter.
Missing one boot.
Holding a donut.
She whispered:
> "You want a kingdom?"
Snarkle:
> "Yes!"
Fizzbucket:
> "With snacks!"
Munchsnout:
> "And burps!"
Jibjab:
> "And musicals!"
Zariah:
> "Then you'll need rules."
The goblins gasped.
Grott:
> "Rules? That's a four-letter word!"
Zariah:
> "One rule. Respect Lycanridge."
The goblins huddled.
They debated.
They danced.
They burped.
Then Snarkle stepped forward.
> "Fine. One rule. But we want Tuesdays to be Goblin Pie Day."
Zariah nodded.
> "Deal."
The goblins built Goblin Hollow—a tiny village of chaos and snacks.
- They held weekly parades.
- They taught chickens to sing.
- They hosted goblin comedy nights.
- They respected Lycanridge… mostly.
And Zariah?
She ruled.
With flame.
With patience.
And with a goblin tiara hidden in her cloak.
Let the Ridiculousness Begin
Lycanridge had seen war.
It had seen Trials.
It had seen prophecy.
But it had never seen this.
The goblins had declared independence.
Built Goblin Hollow.
And now?
They wanted a tournament.
Not of strength.
Not of wisdom.
Of chaos.
The Goblin Games Begin
Fifty goblins gathered in the center of Lycanridge, wearing capes made of curtains, helmets made of fruit, and shoes that squeaked with every step.
Snarkle stood on a barrel and shouted:
> "Welcome to the First Annual Goblin Games! Where logic goes to nap and nonsense wins gold!"
Fizzbucket added:
> "Let the games begin! And may the most ridiculous goblin win!"

Zariah Competes
She entered the arena.
Covered in glitter.
Wearing a goblin tiara.
Holding a donut.
She whispered:
> "I am the Flamekeeper. I do not play."
Snarkle:

Because he bribed the judges with pie.

Covered in glitter.
Holding a donut.
Wearing a goblin medal that said "Nice Try."
She whispered:
> "I am the Flamekeeper. I survived the Goblin Games."
The goblins cheered.
The Pact laughed.
And Lycanridge?
It danced.
The Goblin Peace Treaty
Rhymes, Glitter, and Goblin Sass
The Goblin Games were over.
Zariah had survived.
Barely.
And now, the goblins demanded something even more chaotic:
A Peace Treaty.
But not just any treaty.
It had to be written in rhyme, glitter, and burps.
Goblin Demands

- "All council meetings must include kazoo solos!"
- "Zariah must wear glitter at least once a week!"

Fizzbucket:
> "Solara sings like a dream… if the dream is a goat falling down stairs!"
Munchsnout:
> "Selya's sword is sharp, but her jokes? Duller than goblin soup!"
Jibjab:
> "Zariah's leadership style? Somewhere between 'dramatic queen' and 'lost tourist'!"
Gloop:
> "Solara's voice could summon spirits… or scare squirrels!"
Splatwig:
> "Selya's glare could melt steel… but she still lost the spoon duel!"

Munchsnout:
> "Solara's song made my soup cry!"

That night, beneath the glittering Flame Tree.

Zariah's Speech
She stood on a stage made of mashed potatoes.
Covered in glitter.
Holding a donut.
Wearing a goblin crown.
She whispered:
> "I came to lead. You came to laugh. Somehow… we built peace."
The goblins cheered.
Solara sang.
Selya rolled her eyes.
Vael froze the punch bowl.
Fenrir howled in harmony.
Burps, Riddles, and Gnome Sass
The Goblin Festival had ended in glitter, kazoo solos, and mashed potato sculptures.
Lycanridge was exhausted.
Zariah was still picking confetti out of her boots.
And then—
Snarkle found a scroll.
Not just any scroll.
A Goblin Prophecy Scroll.
Written in riddles.
Decorated in glitter.
And sealed with a burp.
The Goblin Prophecy
> "When Flame meets Fool and Frost meets Feather,
> The Crown shall crack in sunny weather.
> A gnome shall rise with socks of gold,
> And secrets buried shall be told."
Fizzbucket:
> "It rhymes! It sparkles! It smells like soup!"
Munchsnout:
> "It's a sign! Or a snack!"
Jibjab:
> "We must consult the wise ones…"
The Gnomes Return
From beneath the Whispering Peaks, the gnomes emerged.
Tiny.
Bearded.
Wearing monocles and mismatched socks.
They rode squirrels.
Carried scrolls.
And spoke in perfect rhyme.
High Gnome Glibble stepped forward:
> "We heard your burps. We read your scroll.
> Your goblin prophecy lacks control."
Snarkle:
> "We prefer chaos!"
Glibble:
> "We prefer clever chaos."
Gnome vs Goblin Banter
Snarkle:
> "Your socks are fancy. Are your brains in them?"
Glibble:
> "Better brains in socks than glitter in soup."
Fizzbucket:
> "We burp wisdom!"
Glibble:
> "We sip it with tea."
Munchsnout:
> "We dance prophecy!"
Glibble:
> "We footnote it."
Gnomes deciphered the prophecy using algebra and burp frequency.
- Goblins rewrote it to include pie.

Zariah's Reaction
She stood between goblins and gnomes.
Covered in glitter.
Holding a donut.
Wearing a goblin tiara and gnome monocle.
She whispered:
> "I am the Flamekeeper. I do not decode burps."
Glibble:
> "Then let us help."
Snarkle:
> "And let us confuse!"
The Windborn Spirits
Laughter, Magic, and Mountain Mayhem
The goblins had their kingdom.
The gnomes had their riddles.
The Pact had their peace.
But the mountains?
They had secrets.
And secrets don't stay buried.
The Spirits Ascend
From the Wind of the Whispering Peaks, they came.
Not summoned.
Not born.
Unleashed.
Ghostly figures, swirling in mist, glowing with ancient sorrow and forgotten rage. They howled like broken prophecies and danced like cursed memories.
Fifty of them.
Fast.
Silent.
Deadly.
The Alliance Stands
Zariah stood at the Flame Tree.
The Pact flanked her.
Goblins juggled pies.
Gnomes adjusted monocles.
Fenrir growled in rhythm.
And then—
The spirits attacked.
Goblin and Gnome Insults
Snarkle:
> "Nice entrance, spooky! Did you rehearse that in a fog machine?"
Glibble:
> "Your aura is impressive. Shame about your fashion sense."
Fizzbucket:
> "You float like drama, but you hit like a feather!"
Munchsnout:
> "I've seen scarier soup!"
Jibjab:
