The world was only blackness and pain. Hector slowly raised his hand and held onto his bruised face. He had no idea how his face looked, but judging by the pain which originated from everywhere, it definitely wasn''t pretty.


    He tried to open his eyes, but only the left one could actually see. His right eye''s vision was obstructed by the large bruise right below it.


    While he kept touching the bruises and hissed every time from the pain, his eye tried to focus on his surroundings. The Sun was high in the sky, way higher than the last time he saw it.


    He was very confused about what happened, but soon he remembered Sera and how easily she knocked him out. He was actually stupid enough to get angry about his weakness instead of rethinking his mistakes.


    Suddenly a high pitched laughter came from somewhere to his right. He had to turn his head more, because of his right eyes missing vision.


    A few meters away on a rock sat Percy, who found his anger really funny it seemed.


    "Please don''t tell me you are that mad! *laughter* You can''t be angry with our Lady because of your own stupidity!" Slowly his demeanor changed from jolly to serious. He stood up from the rock and walked towards Hector, who only sat up just now.


    From above, Percy spat right into his face and with a sneer said, "You fucking idiot! Don''t you realize how good of a life you have?... You even have a chance to fuck our beautiful leader and what do you do?! You began boasting about a privilege few could enjoy!... And worst of all, you done it right in front of her!..."


    Percy leaned in a bit and said in a whisper, "Please enlighten me!... Are you really this dumb or you just pretend, because if its the later let me congratulate you! You fooled every single person who knows you!"


    Hector''s face became red from anger and with a quick move he tried to grab onto Percy''s neck. In response he just laughed and dissolved into specks of purple light. In the next moment he appeared at his previous seat.


    "Who the fuck do you think you are!" Screamed Hector, while he walked towards Percy with menacing steps.


    "I''m the person Lady Seraphine chose to tell you that you have one more chance to prove yourself! If you make even the slightest mistake, she will personally take care of you..." He didn''t seem bothered by Hector''s presence even the slightest. He even had a small smile on his face as he spoke in a low tone.


    "I suggest you don''t cause any problems... Lady Seraphine suffers weekly under the hand of that strange scientist guy... Who knows what happens when all that pent up suffering is released upon someone else!" The smile on Percy''s face could truly cause fear to appear in most people, but Hector was simply too dumb to realize that.


    "Where is she anyway?" He asked while looking around, with his one black eye. In front of him Percy just shook his head in dejection and sighed.


    He never considered Hector to be his friend since his personality and anger issues were simply unbearable. It didn''t matter now anyway, if he didn''t change after this, he wouldn''t get another chance to change.


    His eyes and tone were mournful, but also cunningly gleeful as he said, "Where do yo think our Lady is?... Her last sex partner turned out to be a wrathful retard, so she chose someone else to warm her non existent bed! I hope I don''t have to spell out who the new person is!"


    With that Percy jumped to his feet and walked away. Behind him Hector was trembling from anger and at some point a hateful scream shook the mountaintop.


    ...


    These thoughts didn''t last long, because as the Sun was starting to set behind them, they finally spotted the island, but the sight wasn''t as comforting as it was supposed to be.


    They sat down as fast as possible at the edge of the island, then the three captains looked at their leader for new instructions.


    Before they started on this journey they only had intel from maps, no active data of their current status. This meant they had no chance of previously knowing about the not too small goblin encampment on Skyros!


    Carefully and silently Sera – followed by the rest of her team – approached the edge of the camp. They were on a small hill covered in trees, which gave a perfect vantage to see the whole camp.


    Judging by its size, the camp only contained about two or maybe three thousand goblins, and there didn''t seem to be any human hostages. There was only one problem which they had to find out before acting. Was there any transcended in the camp?


    This one intel would decide if they can kill the whole camp or not. Sera turned towards Kathy, who didn''t seem to notice her stare. After a few seconds, Sera had enough of waiting.


    "Kathy, would you be so kind and explore a bit?" Asked Sera with a fake smile. Kathy didn''t even look at her, just sighed and began to change.


    Her dark skin gradually became green. Her long dark hair turned shorter and looked to be dirty. Her eye color changed with her facial features. Her small nose elongated, her teeth became smaller and pointy, her ears became larger.


    When her features became goblin-like, her bodily proportions began to change too. First went her large breast, which became small and shriveled. Next went her perfect ass, which became boney. Then finally her height changed from her previous 1.75 meters to a measly 1.3 meters.


    It took only half a minute for Kathy to change. Now the dark skinned beauty had fully disappeared and in her place a small goblin female stood. She looked at her small, green, wrinkled hands for a few moments.


    "I fucking hate to change into goblins! They are so disgusting and ugly..." She made a coughing sound, like she was about to vomit, then grinned back at Sera who stood with her usual bored expression.


    "After taking care of them, would the Lady like to have a bit more alone time?" It wasn''t clear why but whenever Kathy changed into something else her personality became a bit like the race she turned into.


    For example as a goblin she became much more bold and horny, that''s why she could ask a question like this without being afraid of repercussions. While Percy was shaking his head in despair, Sera just smiled a bit.


    "Sure, but definitely not as a goblin... They are too small, ugly and smelly!" Kathy just laughed a bit at her answer, then approached the camp. Percy and Sera watched her go, while a bit farther away Hector was trembling from anger.


    He was trying really hard to calm himself down, but his hands were still shaking and his head was red as a tomato. He didn''t even notice when Sera looked towards him with a tiny smirk.


    At this point she was just waiting for Hector to make another mistake, so she could finally get rid of him!


    In these past two years he was really a thorn in her side, taking up an important position which other, much more competent people could use. She had decided some time ago, to send him away or even better, kill him, but there was no real chance before today.


    That plan of hers was at least on the right tracks!
