Krya awoke when something bonked her on the head with considerable force. She sat up in the blink of an eye and looked down on her attacker.  To her surprise it was merely a goblin. She stared at him for a short while, neither of the two saying a word.<br/><br/>The silence was broken by the goblin. "My name. . . is Groog." He said, trying very hard to speak in a full sentence. It was obvious he had thought it over many times so when he said it he sounded intelligent, or as intelligent as a goblin could get.<br/><br/>Curious, Kyra leaned in closer to him, he had bonked her with the smooth end of his baton, instead of the sharp and splintered end, which at least told her he was not trying to kill her. "Why did you not stay behind in the forest with the others?"<br/><br/>He looked at her with large dark eyes. "I wanta," he paused, attempting to spurt out the next word, "serf you. You are Queen." He said awaiting approval from the large dragon.<br/><br/>A smile formed at the edges of the dragons thin lips. This goblin certain impressed her, having expected none of her subjects to actually leave the forest, let alone continue to wish to serve her.  "Well, Groog. You are now my personal guardian."<br/><br/>Groog excitedly waved his arms around and hopped in place. After he settled down he looked at Kyra, happiness in his eyes. "How may. . .I help, Queen?" He asked, the words were forced out of the goblins mouth as he tried his best to pronounce them properly. The dragon, a colossal beast compared to the goblin, stood up and stared down at him and replied, "Just follow me." Her voice was soft towards him.<br/><br/>Both goblin and dragon emerged from the brush and into the road, after Kyra made sure that they were in no danger. Kyra was slightly disoriented, partly from the spell, partly from being awoken by a wooden baton wielded by a strong little goblin. The duo came to stand beside the demon, Kyra looking at the riders being defeated by Nymeri in a wave of water. Groog hid under Kyra, staring curiously up at the demon.  He hugged one of her legs like a small child might.
