Overall, the trip back home was long and arduous. The boar, which was larger than either goblin and weighed many times more, offered no assistance, and the wound that Kishi had inflicted had made the fur slick with blood in certain parts. Overall, the trip was spent with idle chit-chat and labored grunting. After Kishi had given his response to Lomen, he continued on his discussion of these so called "Skills"
"So you mean to say you have never acquired any skills from your previous battl-"Once again, Lomen was cut off. Darkness had encompassed all of Kishi's view. All that remained was a light pain in his stomach, and the sound of waves in the distance. Kishi could feel soft sand beneath his body, and the scent of ocean air filled his senses. By the time he tried to grasp any meaning on the strange event, it immediately vanished, with Lomen returning to his view.
"-we need to take this back together brother Kishi.""I apologize, but I do not know what you mean when you refer to these skills. I agree, we seem to develop traits and actions quite easily... But I never got a skill with a name. Perhaps you are special in that regard. You should ask Grandfather about it. He is quite wise in regards to the ways of the world."After he finished giving advice, Kishi slowly lifted the boars back legs, and the rest of the trip consisted of chit-chat and Kishi instructing Lomen on the directions he needed to follow in order to not slam into a tree or trip.
What felt like hours passed by, and by the time the goblins had finally reached the cavern, it was already dusk, the sun turning the sky into a crimson expanse. Slowly, the boar was carried inside, much to the envy of the less fortunate goblins in the family. The boar was laid at the feet of Grandfather. It wasn't until Kishi wiped the sweat from his face that he noticed Brother Zectoll was standing next to Grandfather, and looked... much more threatening than he usually did. Dismissing this thought, Kishi lightly tapped the side of the boar, creating a soft slapping sound that echoed throughout the entire cave. Kishi began to speak.
"Greetings, Grandfather! I apoligize that I interrupted your conversation with Brother Zectoll, but I bring great news! Brother Lomen and I have returned with a feast for the family! If you would be so kind, I would be in your debt if you distributed this to those who are unable to catch their own food. If brother Lomen-"Kishi turns to face both Grandfather and Lomen at the same time.
"-is done claiming his share, it would be an honor to allow you the first cut."Kishi grinned happily. Surely, this boar would be able to feed the rest of his kin. His people would be able to live another day. And all it cost was the life of one disgusting monster!
