CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
I thought only comedy and sneezes came in threes
~
Out of the two portals came a horde of small monsters
Two little gremlin kings and a small horde of followers
They looked like armoured monkeys, not to big but mean and strong
All with stubby arms and pointed ears that were quite long

These little monsters would be cute if not for their nature
They’re a truly vicious and unrelenting creature
Though they’re classified as a relatively low threat
In a group, they’re just as annoying as monsters get

A gremlin who has recently evolved into a king
Still he seems to have more than a modest following
He’ll likely defer to the strong king when they meet
And cooperate to seek their enemies’ defeat

A rare example of a gremlin king who has been named
This occurs when a large enough area is claimed
Though most gremlins lack intelligence enough to speak
Kings make a great army through uniting of the weak
They counted two kings and at least three dozen followers
Though they weren’t strong on their own, those were scary numbers
Sky examined her own class and did the math quickly
But her guess was that a victory was not likely

Live to fight another day, sometimes retreating’s right
Just don’t make a habit of turning the other cheek
I didn’t sign up to watch a Berserker act so meek
Sky looked over to her friend and signalled a retreat
And right away the two of them turned sharply on their feet
But just as they were making plans to play it safe and leave
They saw something else that was harder still to believe

The leader of more gremlin grunts that is commonly scene
One of the strongest gremlin kings I have ever seen
He doesn’t rely much on magic, but his punch is strong
He leads by example as he moves his wars along
Right behind them had appeared a third portal somehow
They were surrounded by almost sixty gremlins now
Leaf and Sky were trapped with little hope of winning soon
Four portals had just opened in just one afternoon
Sky looked up hoping to find a route where she could fly
But the foliage was to dense to be worth a try
Likewise, Leaf was fast but all the gremlins blocked the way
There was nothing left for either of the friends to say
“Children, stay right there and don’t provoke the strongest king!”
Suddenly a voice cried out as they were panicking
They turned around to see that just beyond the goblin hordes
Two men were running to help them wielding two fine swords

Sky was quick to understand the best course the could take
But she didn’t have time to discuss the course she’d take
Leaf stood silently as Sky attacked a gremlin grunt
The gremlins are were caught off guard by the sudden affront
