The sky seemed calm today, lighter than usual. I couldn't understand, nor did I wish to comprehend. She was beautiful. Stunning. Gorgeous. No words were enough to describe how infatuated I was with her, and still am.
Then...why are things so unfair? Why does it have to be this way? If only...If only.

"Gigolo!!! Sweetie, wait up you forgot your-", before she could finish; a young boy had hurried off from the worries of his mother. "Don't worry! I'll be fine! It's not too cold outside!" shouted the young eleven year old.
Three hundred years after the formation of civilization, colonies had been divided into two sectors. Goblins and Humans. The tale that rises today reported by the world's history of the origin of these two species is quite frankly, false. Yes, completely contrary to what really had been the truth. Goblins: short, grouchy, and pig-like? Humans: condescending, weak, controlling and greedy? There may be some truths if you look at both, but much of it was far fetched and imaginary.
Goblins had the resembling bodily features of humans. However, there were a few minute yet noticeably distinct features that lead to the discrimination of one against the other. You see, Goblins had ears stretched thin and long. They were also very droopy and protruding. Their noses were more thicker and longer, the end of which would resemble that of a beak of any bird. The male goblins weren't as visually appealing as the females. They also had very thin body structures, whereas the women needless to say, had bodies that would encompass the full capacity of any feminine charms. There were downsides to these women however. They were mainly given the task to busy themselves doing "housewife chores", and were seen as gifts of God who were supposedly "meant" to fulfill the lustful desires of Goblin men. Their pain receptors were twice as high as any normal human female and they were delicate in terms of their physical properties alongside their emotional.
How the species of Humans and Goblins came about and met, was still unknown to the majority. Humans were found living on land that was much more developed, refined and carried mass amounts of luxuries needed to advance a civilization. Goblins were first seen on a much less bearing ground. Both males of each species possessed an enormous amount of physical strength, they could crumble rocks the size of a whale effortlessly with a swing of their hands. To make it easier to identify males of both species: men was used to identify human males, and Gobmen, for Goblins. Similarly, for the females of both species: women and Gobwomen. Inevitably, resources played a huge role in determining the uprising of one colony over the other. Goblins were treated like tools, forced to stay behind the borders of their lands and if ever to cross the land of humans would be sentenced to death, have their Gobwomen r***d or placed into slave work until they would die from exhaustion. Gobmen also had one other distinct feature that made them an undesirable to a female. Although their bodies carried massive amounts of strength, their structures looked very bony and frail.
The Gobwomen would only desire them as mates if they had some form of intellect that placed them a rank above others, wealth, or a sense of leadership. Appearances were never looked to as much because humans were but devils even if be more attractive to the Gobwomen.
Year 900 - 600yrs A.F.C {After Civilization}
The world was split into the East Region of Azkala & the West Region of Lenda. Azkala belonged to the region of Goblins, and Lenda to the humans. Many parts of Azkala was scouted by humans and claimed. Gobwomen were forced into pleasuring men's s****l desires regardless of them being married or not. Their body held high value for its exquisite lustful appeal. Gobmen were forced to work as slaves and not all had their wives taken from them. The reason for that was a discovery that saved the lives of many Goblins, but it had also come at the cost of many. If a Gobman was revolting against a human, an example would be made of him. Cruel enforcements of punishments where they would be castrated or even be forced to watch their women r***d. Some would lose their sanity and kill themselves in masses. This usually occurred in lands that were occupied by humans, regions of small villages or where some rare items would be detected, but only by means of technology that Goblins had yet not possessed due to the scarcity of some necessary foundational materials. Elbath, a ring-like province surrounding Azkala, this was the name of these inhibited lands.
There were also many scenarios where Gobwomen would sell themselves as prostitutes to men, for the sake of providing for their families. Even if be against the will of their spouse, secret earnings had to be done since enough money was never given to them or the salve working Gobmen. Areas of Azkala were divided into thirty districts. These districts were meant solely for Goblins so long as they never had any ideas to start a revolution against mankind. They had but no choice. The lives of those in Elbath were completely forgotten by those of Azkala, children were shunned away from the thoughts of a life outside, and no one dared to leave or enter due to its dangerous regions bordering its land. Humans made it through those regions, but barely.
They were even seen as Gods by some Goblins because of their "capability" to cross its borders. The truth of the matter was that it would have been far too difficult for humans to come in groups by these danger zones, and to prevent the Goblins from knowing of their weaknesses; the pact was made where none from Azkala would be touched nor its resources as long as the Goblins remained within its lands. And one other rule, any human who dared step in the lands of Azkala would be executed and forgotten; this was the only form of anger-releasing mechanism the Goblins could choose as a sign of dignity and respect for those whose lives had been taken and ruined by the humans. It was a decision made by the Elders of the nation as an agreement within this pact. Ring of Dane, in honour of a brave Gobman, the danger zone was named this. It was widely known, however, as the Ring.
[Present Day]
Year 1100 A.F.C
"Alieza!", a voice echoed from afar. District 5, Shohiro, a region of Azkala bordering the Ring. A young girl's hair was caressed by the flow of the soft Northern winds as her auburn coloured hair added a soft touch to her beautiful freckle-covered face. Eyes that were glistening in the sun and a smile filled with innocence and joy brightened the face of young Gigolo. "Gigolo! You came all this way like I asked you to. Such a gentle-gobman." "Anything for you, m'lady.", the young Gigolo had said with a sarcastic remark. "Oh, stop it! C'mere, I found something I wanted to show you."
After the pact had been made between the two colonies of species, Azkalians had long forgotten about the human race, except for a few remaining elders who had lived up to three hundred years of age. All the others were too afraid of the stories of the Pre-pact Era, and feared humans as they would the devils. The children were the most unaware and uneducated of these devils. They had heard only whispering notions from adults here and there around the districts, who learned of these demons only after reaching a certain age. Azkalians had obviously fought in one war against the humans, but upon losing the battle did they succumb to the rulings and creation of Elbath, the Ring, and Lenda. Goblin Elders would quiver in fear of the mention of humans. After all, they had witnessed the dark Era themselves. Elbath had seen far worse then Azkala, as it is a region of where both species resided under the government of humans. Many people were distraught, and not one human had crossed the borders of the Ring, until now.
"He looks like us, but a little different. I wonder what he is?" The young red-head was in deep thought when the face of Gigolo had shown evidence of shock. "This must be that! A devil, he's human!" The boy had exclaimed with a touch of excitement. Alieza's eyes had their colour faded as she frighteningly trampled her way a few steps far from the human.
Gigolo had hopes to one day cross the danger zones surrounding Azkala and escape the premise of his secluded fate. The fate that meant he would have to accept that the world he'd only ever get to know would remain within the borders of Azkala. Thoughts had enveloped his hope-stricken smile as he gently sat down next to the boy's face. In an attempt to gently awaken the boy Gigolo brushed the side of the blonde's shoulder. With his eyes seemingly dizzy, the boy had awoken seating himself lousily. He scouted the nearby surroundings. Nothing but grass and tall deep-rooted trees, stretched far across into the vastness of the land.
The texture of the grass felt more silkier and refined. The sky was filled with dandelions whisking about the air. A locket hanging around the boy's collar had caught the attention of Gigolo. They had never seen such a thing before. "Is this heaven?" They boy asked with a rather exhausted voice.
Alieza was drawn back by the boy's charms, her fear had subsided after seeing the calmness in his eyes.
For the next six years, everything had seemed fine. Zen was the name of the human.
