To be a goblin is to be hunted by the Void every time you use your night-vision. To be a successful assassin despite that? That, my friend, takes discipline. And bravery. And, let's be honest here, probably some stupidity.
When Oozewart accepts a job in Obsidia, she expects a quick kill and a heavy purse. Instead, she finds a city of unnerving safety... a place where her mind is still and the Void leaves no trace. Lulled into a false sense of security, she breaks her own rule: trust no one.
Now she has found the light in the darkness... and it’s painted a target on her back.
"The Light in the Darkness" is a short story in the "Portal Goblin" universe. This little tale introduces Oozewart (the goblin in question) at a time before she ever discovered portals.
