Moonlit Mercy

 Tonight, moonless shadows cloaked the ruin near Varrock's edge. My quarry: Griznak's goblin tribe. 

They scavenged discarded cargo, unaware of my presence. Griznak wielded a cruel hook sword; his followers brandished crude spears and rocks. My bowstring tightened, targeting Griznak's heart...

But then I saw her – a young goblin girl, hiding behind crates, eyes locked on mine. Fear and curiosity warred in her gaze. 

My arrow hesitated. Mercy whispered in Seren's voice: "Spare the father, save the child."

I chose restraint. Griznak fled with his tribe, warned never to return. The girl... lingered. 

She accepted a piece of dried meat from my pouch. Our eyes met again – a spark of trust?

Did I forge an unlikely ally or merely delay vengeance?
