The war chief's building was bigger than I thought, almost like a mini fortress on its own. And the bodies were much more here; it was very obvious that this was the place where the battle was the thickest.
I shifted uneasily as I picked my way over the body-covered ground. Why is it that only goblin bodies are here? What are they fighting? Don't tell me…
As if reading my thoughts, Litha shook her head. "No matter how you might want to look at it. The goblins fought and killed each other."
No one disagreed. We could see it, in the way their swords had cut into each other on the floor. Some goblins' swords were still stuck in their neighbor's body.
"Are you ready?" Temur said as we stepped into the building, crossing over the smashed stone door. He raised his sword sharply, but there was no one there. Just bodies and more bodies. Goblin and humans.
Awakeners lay on the ground with the goblins; they carried the same wounds as the monsters.
