Don't worry, I'm not going to pester you with a new goblin fiction every other day. It happens that I have a few of those drafted and I'm on vacation, a bit late in the year.
But this is an odd one. You see, hold for his full name, “Don Alfonso de Tierraparda y Caninia, which is also known as the noble Dunland, son of Gulluk the Bold”, is a goblin who might not be that sane. But it's not his fault. You see, his father captured a few of these Sureñan humans, making them his slaves. And the young Don Alfonso grew up with his stories about brave knights and honorable kings of old. So he decided to become one of those, a noble aspiration for any Sureñan kid, but perhaps a bit far-fetched for a goblin.
Then we have this fatty boy, Oribio, a Sureñan kid living in the Northern Kingdom, where his father has a law office. He, as Don Alfonso, has a dream, but that's to become a priest, much to his parents dismay.
And then we have evil orcs, and a very human knight, but a slaver and bandit too. These will all cross together in the story, there'll be battles, some strange kind of magic, a saint and quite a few ignoble actions. Will Don Alfonso succeed? Well… it doesn't seem that likely, but there's a story in it, nonetheless.
