"Mother Goddess!!"

"Mother Goddess!!"

A group of goblins shouted in panic as a winged figure descended from the sky, her wings hanging weakly behind her while golden light flickered across their damaged feathers.

An elderly goblin hurried forward and caught her in his arms before she could collapse onto the stone pavement, his eyes widening as he noticed the blood staining her clothes and the trembling of her body.

"What happened to you, Mother Goddess?" the old goblin asked, his voice trembling with disbelief. "Who could have done this to you?"

The winged goblin did not respond immediately, her eyes remaining unfocused as she struggled to catch her breath. Her double light lance was nowhere to be seen, and the usually brilliant radiance surrounding her body had weakened to the point where it was barely visible.

"Mother Goddess, please say something!" another goblin cried, kneeling beside them.
