Kobolds

As dawn dawned at the dawn of the day over Helms Deep, Gilhaz had a feeling today would be a rather interesting day.

She sharpened her teeth, reprimanded Amelia for doing her daily stupid thing, and made breakfast.

"... Amelia if you eat all our food again, so help me god..." Gilhaz yelled. Amelia recently was sneaking snacks off the meat racks without anyone noticing.

"Wait, we're out of food!?"

"No shit Sherlock! Don't eat all of it next time! Now I have to go hunting!"

As she took off, she heard Amelia mumble something along the lines of; "pretty sure you ate all the food fatass". Ignoring that last remark, she scoured the land for food.

"Yaaaa!"

Gilhaz jerked. It was not every day she heard bohemian screaming while hunting for food.

"Yayayayayaaaaa!!"

Ok, now Gilhaz was really confused. Where was that coming from!? When she first hatched, she scouted everything nearby to see if she can settle down. She was absolutely sure that there was no society in sight! Landing on a nearby crevice, she silently observed these to strange things. As one waddles into sight, she understood why they were making such strange noises.

They were kobolds. 17 of them. *gasp* "YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

'What!? How could they have seen me!? I'm perfectly camoufl- oh. No, never mind. It's broad daylight'. Gilhaz was used to hunting at night, but a certain snake ate all the food, forcing her to go hunt.

[You Have Learned: Kobold!]

"YYAAAYAA- MASTER HAS RETURNED!!!!! MASTER IS BACK!!!!"

"Erm... *cough* Greetans Martels! I om graet Gilhaz! Hwet bruhgs oo hare?"

[Kobold: Has Levelled Up! You Can Now Speak Somewhat Ok]

"Brothers! The winged thing is talking! Kinda..."

*ahem* "let me say that again. Greetings, mortals! What brings you to my domain?"

The Kobolds gasped in unison. "O great winged thingy-doodle!"

*whispers* "Dragon"

"Dragon! These humble servants request your benevolent help!" Exclaimed what looked like they're leader.

'... ok, system, wtf is going on? What are they talking about?'

[In The Realms Lore, The Dragons Are The Ancestors Of Many Reptilian Species. Half-Dragons, Dragonborns (no, not dovakiins, I'm talking about the dragonborns from D&D), Kobolds, And Lizard-Men Are All Decedents Of Dragons. Kobolds Were The Most Prominent And Loyal Of The Decedents, Hence They Are Calling You Master]

"O great dragon? You... uh... you ok?"

"Ah! Yes, I'm fine. Speak more of this assistance you require" said Gilhaz. She thought that his would be a good opportunity to spread the word to the other "descendants" that their ancestors have returned. While they were strong, they were few. It would help a great bunch if she had loyal allies.

"What you see before you is only a fraction of our village. The rest have been taken prisoner by local hoomans!" Cried the leader.

'Humans...'. Gilhaz hated humans. Her very first encounter with the things, they attacked her for no apparent reason whatsoever. Their audacity truly knew no bounds.

"Humans... I shall raze them to the ground!". At first Gilhaz thought she was just playing along. but the further she spoke with the kobolds, the further she discovered her hatred for humans. And, unbeknownst to her, her hatred for anything that harmed her kin.

"The hoomans have taken them westward! We suspect they have a camp there"

"Not for much longer... all of you, head to the cavern just north of here. Tell the inhabitants of said cave that Gilhaz sent you. They will allow you to live there under me"

And with that, she was off again
