Jerheus

Sofosys' POV

The clock ticked 12:00 AM and my room immediately lit up. I had arranged for the luminous alarm, even though I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep. Better safe than sorry, though. The task has to be completed today, there has already been enough delay and I can't afford to make more. 

I got up from my plush bed and searched the bedside table for my spectacles. These were one of the greatest of human inventions, I feel. Goblins usually had a perfect eyesight right till their death, but a lot of that is attributed to the fact that the atmosphere in our Kingdom is absolutely pollution free and industrialisation or such other evils of human civilization has not yet creeped it's way into our lands.
