Sennua didn't know what to do, but she had to do something. The scorpion would eventually notice them and then everything would be too late. But luckily, she had an idea, an extremely risky idea. She didn't know what else to do, other then to follow up this crazy plan that she had in her mind.
She might die but if everything went right, then they would be able to pass the scorpion. Everything would depend on this moment, life or death would be decided by this. But she had to get the crab children into her plan.
„listen everyone, that scorpion is extremely dangerous. I want everyone to do exactly as I say, if you can't do that then go back to the river. But if you listen to me then we have a chance to survive. Do you all understand? "
The crabs were infuriated by this, how dare this goblin underestimate them. It was just a single scorpion, yes it was bigger than them and looked scary but they had the numbers. They would definitely be able to beat it if they swarmed it. „we want to fight" shouted all the crab children.
At this moment Sennua simply couldn't believe the stupidity of these crabs. She had such an amazing plan of using her invisibility to safely lure the scorpion away. But it was all for nothing now, the scorpion has noticed them and it was on his way to them. What should they do?
The scorpion casually walked towards them; it wasn't fast but none of the crabs dared to move. The moment they looked at the eyes of the scorpion an immense fear started to fill their hearts. This was the feeling that an herbivore had in front of a carnivore. They, regretted there shouting now, would they be able to survive this?
Sennua sighed, would she have to abandon the crab children? With her invisibility she could definitely escape, but she brought the crabs into this situation. She didn't want to see them die, especially because she felt like it would be her fault if they died. She knew from the start that the chance to save their mom was slim, but she still brought all those children on this dangerous adventure.
Would they all die because of her? Should she fight for them? Or should she run and abandon them? she just didn't know. Seconds past but for Sennua it felt like hours, her mind was thinking so fast that it felt like time slowed down. But no matter how much she thought she just couldn't come up with a solution. If this were adult crabs, she might have been able to abandon them, but they were children!
She just couldn't abandon a bunch of children, that wasn't the way she was raised. But what could she do? she was completely terrified. She knew that she would die the moment that the scorpion would come close. Would this be the place that she would die? She still hadn't regrouped with the other goblins. At this moment she wished to see them at least a last time.
But wishes could bring you only so far, and no matter how much she wished it just wouldn't become reality. She closed her eyes ready to accept her fate, but then something happened. In those dark moments where she had no hope left, she started to hear a voice.
„my children are in danger, please give me the power to protect them." Sennua couldn't believe herself when she heard this voice, was this the crab mom? But how could she speak she should still be unconscious, what was going on?
But the voice didn't stop, it sounded craving and full of worry „please I know you can do it, please allow me to protect my children. Even if I die I want to protect them one last time." The voice kept talking and kept begging but Sennua didn't know what to do, how was she supposed to help?
