Grizzil, Aven, and Cyrus ducked into a narrow alleyway to avoid the curious stares of passersby. The brothers were still chuckling at the goblin's disheveled appearance, atleast humans can't really see him, unless if he wants them to.
Aven "Alright, Grizzil.What's the plan? How do we lay low?"
Grizzil:"First, we need to get you out of sight. Your uncle's spies could be anywhere. Do you have a safe place to hide?"
Cyrus "home obviously its safer in the apartment , but you have to behave our parents are quite strict."
Grizzil"Perfect! Lead the way, and I'll keep an eye out for trouble."
"we should be looking out for you instead, you're new here..."
"quite curious too"
As they made their way through the town, Grizzil couldn't help but get distracted by the various shops and stalls. He nearly walked into a lamppost while ogling a display of shiny trinkets.
Cyrus "Focus, Grizzil ! We need to stay alert."
"Right, right. Sorry, it's just... humans have so many interesting things."
They finally reached the edge of the town and slipped into the apartment street. The brothers moved swiftly and silently, their wolf instincts guiding them. Grizzil, on the other hand, was enjoying the skyscrapers, robots and billboards.
Aven "You sure you're cut out for this, Grizzil"
"Hey, I'm a goblin of many talents! Just not... forest navigation. I'll also be fine in the city i gotta adjust anyway "
"we won't argue further then"
After what felt like hours, they arrived at the spacious and cozy apartment . Aven and Cyrus quickly checked the perimeter to make sure their parents or friends wont just pop in while Grizzil collapsed on the porch, panting.
"All clear. Let's get inside."
They entered the apartment , and Grizzil immediately flopped onto a chair, his legs dangling off the edge.
The chair felt so comfortable, unlike chairs back home.
"So, what's the deal with your uncle? Why's he after you?" Grizzil asked while looking around.
"Lord Alexander wants to harness our wolf abilities for his own gain. He's power-hungry and ruthless."
"We've been on the run ever since we saw him kill our parents. But he's relentless, he should have be rejoicing that we left... I mean he got what he wanted anyway."Aven added
"Well, you can count on me to help. Master Obrien wouldn't have sent me if he didn't think I could handle it."Grizzil said lookin proud
"Thanks, Grizzil. We appreciate it. But we need to come up with a plan to deal with Alexander once and for all."
"How about a trap? We lure him here and use some of Obrien's -magic to neutralize him."
"Easier said than done, but it's not a bad idea. But we'll need to be careful. Alexander is cunning."Cyrus said
" And we'll need to act fast. He won't stop until he finds us, as long he knows we still in the world somewhere he wont rest "
"Then let's get to work. We've got a sorcerer, two wolves, and a goblin. What could possibly go wrong?"... "But first i need something to munch on, you know?".
"dude how many times do you eat,?".
"i see our mom throwing a fit about her groceries" Cyrus said lookin defeated
"guys its just food, give me what you have... Remember im on the look out and here to make sure you guys are safe... Right?".
"whatever dude"
"our mom should not find out about this" Aven said about to head to the cupboard..
"And what is it.. That im not supposed to find out".... Dr Michelle's voice was heard in the passage way as she made her way to the kitchen...
The boys froze..
Owkyyyyyy... Where were they supposed to hide Grizzil...
