How's it been? 

I can't help but ask seeing as I want to vent what my situation is.

"Treasure, earn. Chief, happy"

"No, treasure, keep, no give" 

*Growl*

Well, turns out I have been captured by barbarian or something of that kind. Although calling them barbarian may be overestimating these things. They have been arguing for about 15 minutes now. I know this because I have been avoiding my actual situation by counting to 60.

Ahhhh, I can't ignore it anymore! I have been WORN by one of these entities that act more like goblins than humans for so long. 

I'm happy that I can hear and feel things now but why! Out of everything, why am feeling tossed around and dirtied! I won't call myself a clean-freak but I definitely do not want to be smothered in dirt. Did they think that they were cleaning me by burying me in dirt and then taking me out or is this some kind of unholy baptism.

"Treasure, hide"

"No, give, present"

Why not just make up your mind! Just like you are, I am still confused on what happened to me but it's better to move on rather than stay here and be subjected to dirt-boarding by two indecisive goblins.

In all of this mess, I still can't see anything. I can only hear and feel. I have no idea what is happening by sight but I can guess that these are either goblins or cavemen. I had leaned towards being cavemen but I reasoned that they are speaking. I can understand what they are talking about, so I guessed humans.

Until I realized, they aren't speaking English words, I can just understand them. Is this a new dialect? How am I getting their words? Are they speaking fluently and i'm just unable to fully grasp their sentences? I was spooked.

Never in my 14 years of life had I ever remembered an instance of understanding languages without knowing the words themselves. Except for foreign animes but that's totally different and unrelated what so ever.

Speaking of anime. What if they are indeed goblins? What? A person can't dream?  What this is an isekai? A bad one at that.

I mean, have you ever heard of an isekai about an unmoving object? Swords and vending machines aside, I had theorized being one right after the 'goblin' picked me up. I do not accept it of course but what can I do about it? Atleast I can't feel pain, I think, maybe, not as of right now.

It may be absurd for normal people but I love novels and games, especially rpg, not normal in those places either but I was a curious person, okay?

Back to the present, they are now  attempting to steal me from one other.

*Swish* *Swash*

"Give, treasure, chief, happy"

"No, treasure, keep, chief, scam"

"No, chief, good"

Looks like nothings changed. Even in this place, among goblins, presumably, hierarchy is still present. What I have learned from the background music I have is that two of the goblins have a very opposing view on how they should handle me, a treasure, i'm flattered. They could either keep me for themselves or offer me to their chief in order to make them happy. 

Although being offered is such a bad sounding option, so does being kept as an object. I am amazed though, goblins can form such a merit system but I guess creatures grouping will form them eventually. Speaking of grouping, this goblin band was a trio when I first heard of them, I know, my sense of hearing is awesome. But I haven't heard the third one say anything for quite a while now. I wonder where he went.

"Offer or we, friend, not"

"Fine, we offer"

Oh, looks like they finally decided on something. So they're friends huh. Well, now should probably be a good time to familiarize myself with the environment seeing as how we might start moving soon.

I can't see anything but I can still feel and hear. I feel the goblins, looks like they're holding me together. How cute. On the other hand, I didn't expect being being a stretched to feel like this. It doesn't hurt or really feel much though it be because they're only stretching me a little, who knows how it will feel like to be over stretched or even broken.

Would that mean I die? I shudder and my imaginary hair get goose bumps.

I seem to have a way to going off topic, this is why my old friends and I's conversations always ended up somewhere it wasn't supposed to be.

Anyways, I can hear rustling of trees, and birds so it's safe to assume were either in a forest, a garden, or some rich old man's playpen. Seeing as goblins are here, I have a high suspicion that it's the first option although I am just guesstimating like shrimps usually do.

Right, being a rare bracelet treasure in the possession of goblins in a forest. How surreal. I wonder what color am I?

As I was having some more nonsense thoughts, they started walking. 

"Home, sunset"

"Chief,back, accept us"

Accept? I may be unwilling but helping goblins is still helping I guess. Even if I don't have a say in this, I guess I can feel like I wanted this.

*Thump, thump, thump*

Suddenly I heard running through the leaves of the forrest. It seems as if the goblins weren't suprised so I would hazzard a guess to who this entity is. It's the third goblin coming back from whatever.

"Come, join"

"Yeah, treasure, give"

As the goblins were calling out to the third, he didn't respond nor did he slow down. On the contrary, he sped up. The goblin pairs were not suprised though. 

Maybe the third one was always like this. I hazzard another guess, at this rate Workspace Safety might get me. 

*Shunk*

As I had been lost in thought, to my and the goblin pair's suprise, the third goblin pulled out a knife and proceeded to stab one of them in the heart. Before the other could react, it was stabbed as well in the art. 

The first goblin then collapsed, a fountain of blood spurting out from its chest and letting go of the bracelet on the meanwhile. Getting out of shock, the goblin whose arm had been stabbed started running or had attempted to atleast. 

The knife goblin stabbed its leg to disallow it from fleeing. Then, it had attempted a third stab and succeeded. Piercing the goblin's throat ending much of its fleeting resistance.

Thi-this... W-what...

I had not been ready for what I had just heard. Although I cannot see what happened, I suddenly gained memory of what had happened through the perspective of the goblins holding onto me. Much like I inherited their memory while they were with me. 

As if a sudden small flow of water had entered my body. Something along with their perspective had been gained. I was in shock.

After that, the goblin holding the knife had picked me up.

"Tre-treasure.. pay them.. for sister"

Hello once more, I swear I am not making this into a gore focused series. This has just seemed to fit for no plan me. Anyways, hope you enjoyed. Expect a calmer story after the opening. Thank you for reading!
