Chapter VI
She woke with Gurc's arms around her, blushing remembering what happened the night before. “Good morning my little siren. How are you feeling?” He asked with a smile on his face. She blushed even more and buried her face in his chest. “Was it that good?” He chuckled. “We should get up, we have a wedding to attend tonight.”“Emmy! It's about time. A year long engagement is really too long.” She sat up and the blanket that covered her chest fell down. She quickly picked it up to cover herself. “When do leave?” She said excitedly.
“As fast as we can get ready.” He smiled.
She dressed herself as quickly as she could. Putting on a blue and silver gown that flowed as if it was enchanted by the wind. The little goblin women brought her many rings and bracelets of silver and gold. They had placed bangles and bracelets all over her. She slipped on a pair of blue shoes and went to meet Gurc. He was dressed very fashionably a decorative frock to match her dress. They walked to a beautifully decorated carriage that was driven by the goblins that looked more human. Gurc helped Rina into the carriage and followed her in.
“Where is the Elven kingdom?” Rina asked looking out the window.
“The next forest over.” He said as he pulled the curtain back over the window. “We are nearing a human village.” She sat back and felt the carriage stop. “Hsj soga ha zcufak?” Gurc called to the driver.
“O craa ez ed csa hoj.” Replied one of the drivers. “E hew ranuga ec.”
“There seems to be a tree in the road. They will move it out of the way.” Gurc told Rina so that she is not confused. “You will learn the language soon my dear.” He assured her.
“E waord xiep.” She replied with a smile. Gurc looked at her once again she amazes him.
“Yes, you do learn quickly.” He laughed. “It should not take them this long. I will go check on them.” He put on a long robe with a hood and gloves. “Wait in here.” Rina waited there for about five minutes and he still had not returned. She started to get nervous and the carriage began to move without him. It was going way to fast for it to be goblin drivers. She tried to open one of the doors, but it would not budge.
After traveling for about an hour the carriage finally stopped. Rina looked outside the window and saw something large fall from the roof and something else carry it into a house. It came back for two more large objects. The place looked dark and deary, but she could finally open the door. She peered into the window of the house and saw a creature that had a hunchback and a man standing near him. He wore a long white coat and spectacles. He was human no doubt, but how was he able to over power Gurc and the others. She thought to herself. She kept looking into the house not noticing the hunchback had disappeared from sight. Two arms grabbed her from behind and she let out a loud scream, the man in the white coat came out to have a look.
“What have we hear?” He looked at her strange outfit and jewelry. “Did you come from that carriage as well?” Rina did not answer. “Bring her inside.” The hunchback sat her in a tattered chair and held her down by the shoulder. “So, why are you traveling with a lot of monsters?” She still gave not a sound. “Still silent I see.” He went over to one of the large black sacks and unzipped it. Inside laid one of the goblin drivers, He went and unzipped the other two the last one contained Gurc. He was not moving. She tried to get up, but the hunchback held her in place. “Ah so you know this one? Such a beautiful girl as you should not be traveling around with monsters. So I will ask once more, why are you traveling with monsters?” Rina held her chin high and still let not a word escape her mouth. The man came closer to her and slapped her face. “Child, I can kill you if I like, but it would seem such a waste of a beauty like yourself. If you do not speak I will kill each of your monsters starting with the fancy dressed one.”
“Why did you attack us, and how did you over power Gurc?” She asked in a calm voice.
“Ah well you see my hunchback friend here is used to be one of the most powerful creatures, I just did a few alterations on him.” He laughed. “He even killed the rest of his kind. Though it would have been nice to have captured that princess alive. It would have been great to have the power of the queen. Male sirens are now where near as powerful as the females.” Rina peered up at the hunchback. He looked as if his heart was breaking to her. Rina felt the moth on her chest flutter a bit, it was working hard to control her power.
“Dear moth, please let me save Gurc and the others.” She asked and the moth flew up out of her gown and landed on a beam in the ceiling. She felt herself feel with the rage she had felt the night Emmy was captured. She let out a scream of a banshee. The hunchback let go of her shoulder. She stood with wings spread, and began to cry out her song of death upon that man.
“Help me.” The man called out to the hunchback, but the hunchback only stood there watching Rina as she carried out her punishment. The man felt his bones begin to bend his back became even worse than the hunchback. His arms were twisted and made unusable. He cried out in pain. “Save me.” He called out to the hunchback once more. The hunchback stared at Rina's black and white wings and placed his hand gently on Rina's.
“Eligon na shikan.” He said to her and she stopped singing. Some how she knew what he told her. 'He is mine to take.' The hunchback took out a dagger and plunged it into the heart of the man. Rina quickly ran to Gurc, but he did not wake.
“How do I wake him?” She asked the hunchback.
“Bri ock so milang. ” He said pointing to the mirror on the shelf above. She grabbed the mirror and smashed it on the ground. Three colored clouds floated to each of the bodies.
“Gurc wake up please.” She cried.
“Alright, I'm awake.” He said placing a hand on her face. The moth quickly flew down and replaced itself back to where it belonged. The other two goblins woke from their slumber. “You were the one who attacked us.” Gurc said looking at the hunchback.
“I am, and I must atone for my crimes against you and my own family. It gives me great joy to know that my sister still lives though. You must live on, Irina my queen.” The hunchback bowed before Rina and plunged the dagger into his own heart. Rina felt tears running down to her chin and Gurc quickly comforted her.
He walked her out to the carriage letting her cry as much as she wanted against his chest. “My brave Rina, now knows her name. Your memories are slowly coming back to you, and I will be hear to help you through them.” They traveled back to Leere Stein. He walked her up to their room. She had stopped crying by then. They both crawled into the bed. “So I not only married a siren, I married the Queen!” He chuckled.
“Lets go to sleep my large Goblin.” She smiled and she closed her eyes. “I very tired I could sleep for the three of us.”
“Goodnight.” Gurc said about to close his own eyes when he realized what she had said. “Three of us?” Rina smiled with her eyes closed.
“Yes. You, me, and the little one. Goodnight.”She whispered. Gurc kissed his wife's forehead and laughed with excitement.
“Goodnight my little Siren.”
About nine months later while Rina was ready to give birth, Gurc helped her through the pain with magic, and a little baby boy goblin was born. “Ah, He will make a great King!” Rina was still in pain and Gurc realized she was not finished. Thirty minutes later a beautiful baby girl was born, and Rina's pain subsided. “This is very puzzling. Twins have never happened before in all of Goblin history.”
Rina smiled at her two babies. “He is your heir and she is mine. Don't forget I am and always be a Queen.”
“How could I forget.” He kissed his wife and two children. The baby boy was gray skinned like his father with black hair of his mother. He had black wings like his mother. “I will name him Ravenwing.” The baby girl had the hair of her father and skin like her mother.
“She will be named Alastrina.” Rina said and gave Gurc a kiss.
