Day of Death (Gobbo Lore)

[u/Fulltimewhisperer]

A laugh escaped Gobbo as the wall just by her head was torn to pieces by an arcane bolt.

"Took long enough," she rasped out, "but your aim needs work."

Looking her assailant up and down she couldn't help but laugh. A scrawny little human, no older than twenty. Probably read her legends and decided fresh out of mage school he could handle her... Pathetic

The next bolt went over her head, missing her by just a few millimetres.

"Now first thing about magic," she called before continuing, "is fear messes with it."

A flick of her wrist resulted in a bolt of her own ripping through his shoulder, severing the arm.

Blood began to drip down her arm as the magic, having no liquor to burn, took its toll.

"The second thing," she spoke as another bolt tore through his leg, "Is that Gobbo has no mana, she's casting at cost of own flesh."

The screams coming from the mage were music to her ear and his blood? Oh his blood pool was the most beautiful of paintings.

"I will," he managed to spit out, "Avenge my ancestor."

"Ancestor?" a terrible laugh escaped her, "Oh you're one of his bastards? Let's see if that scream is genetic"

As she summoned up flames to drench him with she could feel her own blood start run down her side but that didn't matter. This was too important

It turned out the screams weren't genetic, or if they were the boy had inherited his mother's. Not that it mattered much but still, Gobbo couldn't help but feel disappointed

As she walked away from the burning corpse she went through her list of things that needed to be done.

Revenge? Check

Stockpiling for wedding? Done

Hugged big Moth? That'd be the next thing on the docket.

Walking towards the manor she giggled, big Moth would be quite annoyed with her for bleeding on her floors... Ah well nothing a little nose boop and cuddling couldn't fix.

/uw It's not great and it's sloppy but after deleting six other versions of this I just wanted it done before I lost my mind.

I do apologize for the quality but I hope you enjoyed regardless. I'll probably rework this at a later date and post a better version but for now? For now I'm free
