Where am I?

    I hear the bird chirping and the moving of grass with the wind.

    I open my eyes to see the sun shining brightly and the vivid images of the trees.

    I try to move but for some reason, my body is so heavy. Despite that, there seems to be no problem with my body unlike the time I first came to.

    I move my head left and right to see where the hell I am. In the place where the goblin used to be is a pile of bones and its dried up blood.

    "Gugh"

    Realizing that I probably ate it, I instinctively let out a growl but unlike before, I don''t feel repulsed about eating it... Why is that?

    Swish.

    While I was contemplating about that, a noise from my left gets my attention. A wolf came out of a bush and eyes me as if I am free food.

    "Guraaa!!"

    I bellowed out a roar to scare it but in truth, I really don''t know how to get out of this mess. I still can''t move my body and even if I do, can I even beat a wolf that looks like it evolved?

    The wolf shows off its fangs as if to compete with me and walks up to me with caution.

    I try to move my arms and legs but alas I really can''t. I probably look like a slug trying to move in front of this bastard.

    ---Shit! My body... I still can''t move it!

    The wolf is just a few steps away to bare its fangs to my side and take a piece of me. He prepares himself while I let out another roar full of desperation.

    "GUAHHH!"

    The wolf runs and the sound of twigs breaking can be heard.

    Dudududu.

    The ground shook.

    I roll my body away in the moment that he jumps hoping he''ll miss.

    Swish. Boom!

    The loud impact of landing caused my ears to ring but it doesn''t hurt...?

    I shift my head to see what happened and an evolved jaguar has interfered with the feasting of the wolf.

    The wolf, agitated with the entrance of a new enemy, growls. The jaguar answers back.

    While they were bickering with each other, I try to see if I can move my body to escape this place.

    And as if to answer my hopes, I can move although not so fast.

    I again crawl to move out of their sight when their competition reaches its peak. Fortunately, they don''t seem to have any interest in me anymore.

    After moving a fair distance away from the glade, I stand up to inspect my surroundings to check if I am now safe.

    I went inside a cave that I found after checking the area and as I sit, I realize something.

    ---Why is my body like this?

    Looking at my arms and my body that are green and small and even my face seem to have changed its shape...?

    I feel ashamed. My pride is broken like I have fallen from great heights. I don''t really know why but my insides are telling me that it is humiliating to transform into a monster, let alone… a goblin.

    However as I am now a goblin, the instincts of a goblin are fighting that disgust, that shame. I spent hours trying to contemplate on what happened but nothing comes to mind. Well, there''s nothing I can do about it at this stage.

    Pondering about the questions that cannot be answered made my stomach growl. I am hungry. I still don''t know how I survive as a goblin in this forest but staying in a cave with no food will definitely kill me off.

    I decided to scout for food, animals that I can catch. Though when I think about it, rabbit is all that I can catch...

    Walking outside of the cave with a sigh, I notice that the darkness has spread its wings and the moon showing its full brilliance.

    I walk around in the forest with the night as my cover as I search for my prey.
