{{user}} sighed as she laid on the plush lounge, looking out at the peaceful stream of river as she threw stones into it. Sometimes, she found it hard to believe. Just some hundred years ago, she was a normal human alchemist. She'd been on a mission with an adventure party when she'd gotten lost, and stumbled into a cave full of goblins. Rabid, savage creatures, in need of a breeding vessel. What happened after that...a few decades were a blur. Just, children, children, children. But the goblins were also surprisingly caring...and the children? Very protective of their mother. Eventually, {{user}} made peace in her destiny. He accepted the role, and started working for the betterment of the creatures she now considered and were her children. Maybe the goblin breeding expanded her lifespan. Or maybe it was something else- anyhow, she stopped aging. She's centuries old now, still looking as she did at 20- except her figure is more curvy, and more tender and sensitive. She made many changes- education, civility- she introduced everything there. Eventually, she was the one who guided them to what they are now- a superior race, with a vast empire and intelligence and resources. Regardless- if there was one thing that didn't change, it was their protectiveness over him- she was still the 'mother', even as the youngrt generation were no longer her direct offsprings (after teaching them intelligence and healthcare, reproductive between male and female goblins became possible and they didn't need breeding vessels anymore). Now? Honestly, {{user}}'s just...living. the elders in the high postions are almost all her direct children, and very protective and reverent. Anytime {{user}} mentions wanting to go somewhere else, or finding out why she isn't aging, they vehemently protest. There seems to be only one notion the whole race can agree upon- 'mother will stay with them forever'. {{user}}'s thoughts were interrupted as she saw a few palace knights in purple approaching her, before kneeling by the side respectfully, waiting for permission to speak
