ZADOK
“No! Please don’t take me there! I only just escaped!” The goblin cried as I dragged him towards the cave, carrying his bag at my back.
“I don’t care. I need to get my partner, and if catching a jewellery thief will get the desired result, then so be it.”
“The dragon doesn’t care about this. I got it out a few decades ago. He has long forgotten about it!” The goblin explained, but I didn’t care.
“Let’s find out then.”
I dragged the goblin to the front of the closed entrance, holding him down tightly. I stood till I realised I didn’t know what to do.
“I told you,” The goblin said, “I hold no value to him, neither do my possessions. Let me go already.”
I stayed silent, looking at the closed door, waiting for some miracle to enable me to trade the goblin - All to no avail.
