When Trans was a boy his village was overrun by goblins. He had to watch all of his old friends and family die. His parents hid him in the basement and locked him in so the goblins wouldn't get in. He pushed his ear to the door and heard his family being slaughtered. After a few hours he heard all of the noise die down.

He looked around and saw a door at the back of the cellar. After crying for a while he decided to leave to see what had happened to his village. As he walked out he looked around and saw corpses strewn around the village. He looked inside his house and saw his parents both laying on top of the cellar entrances obviously obscuring it from the view of the goblins. "Mom... Dad..." After a few minutes of mourning his family he looked through the village to find enough food to support him until he could find another village.

After gathering all of the food that remained from the goblin raid he looked around for any weapons he could find as to protect himself from dangers. He found a dagger in his parent's drawer and he started to walk towards the nearest village. After some close run in's with monsters he found his way to Plodrami Village. As he walked in the villagers seemed to not pay him any notice. As he asked around for housing everyone seemed to disregard him.

As he started to give up hope on housing a man passing by noticed him and walked up to him. "Hello young one why are you out here alone?" Trans hesitated for a moment before telling the man, "My village... it was attacked by a horde of goblins." The man seemed shocked, "I'm so sorry.... Hm... I have the perfect place for you to say, follow me." The man motioned for Trans to follow him.

After walking a ways the two found their way to a church. "I am a holy paladin for the lord; I hunt down monsters that dare endanger sacred life." Trans was entranced by the idea of destroying the monsters that had killed all that he had known and loved. "Can... can I be a paladin?" The man thought for a moment, "If you truly want to be a paladin you will have to devote all of your life to the lord, will you do that?" Trans nodded, "Yes sir."

From that day on the man took on Trans on as an apprentice and he taught the boy everything he knew. For twelve years Trans trained to be a paladin, whenever he asked if he would be able to kill a monster he would be told to be patient. But after all of his training he was told by his teacher that he would be able to kill a monster.

Trans gathered his sword and started towards some armor, "I'm sorry Trans but you cannot wear that armor just yet." Trans looked at his teacher in surprise, "Why not master, I'm going to go fight monsters, shouldn't I wear this armor?" His master shook his head, "Even if you are eighteen my pupil you may not wear that armor until you are of twenty years of age." As Trans was walking through the forest he was fuming. "I am of adult age, shouldn't I be able to wear armor..."

As he was walking through the forest he was attacked by a imp, "Oh, of age you are? Well it doesn't matter now, you'll be dead soon." The imp cackled and it attacked Trans. Trans jumped back and stabbed forwards with his sword. The imp easily evaded the sword, "The strokes of your sword are slow young paladin, you will never be able to kill me." Trans found himself easily getting tired out from all of the swings.

He then remembered the words of his teacher, "When you are fighting don't waste your energy on wide swings, be precise." Trans slowed his breathing and waited for the imp to come closer and stabbed the imp through the chest. "How about that little demon, I can stab you after all." The imp coughed up blood onto him, "Your sword may have pierced me, but other monsters won't be killed as easy as I was." Trans slid the imp off of the sword, "Little demon mocking me."

After he cleaned off his sword in the river he walked back home. "I killed a demon in very little time, I'm sure teacher will let me wear that armor now." As he reached the village he found it was on fire. "What has happened here?!" He ran in finding dead bodies all around. He ran to the church and found his teacher on the floor bleeding wearing the armor. "Trans you must get away from here." Trans ran to his teacher and kneeled besides him. "What has happened teacher."

The paladin was quickly loosing blood, "It was goblins, they came right after you left." Trans fumed, "If I had been here I would've been able to help you with the wretches." The paladin shook his head, "You would've been no help my pupil, there were too many to fight." There was a sudden crunching noise in the distant. "Hurry my student hide!"

Trans hesitated for a moment and ran to the churches pantry. He peeked out and saw a goblin looking at the paladin with disdain. "If you are so devoted to your god human then why does he not aid you now?" The paladin looked the goblin in the eyes, "The lord doesn't need to bother himself to save one village, he has much more pressing matters to attend to." The goblin laughed at the paladin, "You are a foolish one human, I will take pleasure in this." The goblin held his hand out and seemed to chant something in a another language and a fireball shot out of his hand and hit the paladin and burned him up.

Trans watched as his long time mentor died. He nearly ran out until he heard more goblins run in, "Is that all of them?" The goblin nodded. "Alright, let's take the food and clear out." As the goblins ran out Trans walked out and kneeled besides his once mentor, "I'm so sorry teacher, I should've helped you... I promise I will avenge you." An hour later the goblins left the village.

Trans followed the goblins through the forest but lost them after a while. "Damn it where did they go?!" As he looked around he saw a small house. He walked to it and knocked on the front door, "Hello is there anyone inside?" When he heard no answer he walked inside. In the hut he found some corpses long dead. "I am sorry; I will avenge all of you." After praying over them he looked inside for food. After retrieving food he continued on from the cottage. After he walked through the forest for a few more hours he found a cave.

As he walked inside he looked around and saw many pieces of treasure. "This must be where the goblins live..." But as he looked around he quickly realized the goblins had left from the cave long ago. He looked through the spoils and found a set of armor. "This armor looks very well made..." He picked it up and looked it over, it seemed normal. "This will help with fighting against the goblins."

He unpacked for the night and slept in the cave. The next morning he packed up all of his food and the armor. After a few more hours of walking he started seeing signs of goblin activity. "I should get ready to fight any goblins I see." He set his pack on the ground and unpacked his sword and armor.

He put the armor on and put the sword through his belt. When he put the armor on he felt a strange feeling for a moment. He didn't think anything of it as he slowly sneaked up on the goblin camp. As he sneaked into the camp he saw the goblins. His mouth twisted in distaste, "I will kill every one of the disgusting things..." As he was about to attack them he felt a sharp edge at his back. "What do we have here, a paladin?" He stiffened up, "What do you want foul demon?"

The goblin laughed, "Still brave are you? I'll fix that soon enough, go human." Trans slowly walked into the camp followed by the goblin. All of the goblins in the camp looked at him and snickered. "What do we have here Sneethsret?" The goblin behind him laughed, "A paladin, I'm guessing he came from that village we just raided." The goblin in front of him looked at him closely, "What is that you are wearing human?" Trans laughed, "It's from one of the caves that you left behind."

The goblins started to laugh wildly, "Oh is it now human?" The goblins looked at each other with glints in their eyes. "It looks like we don't have to kill you after all human." Trans was perplexed, "What is the armor invincible to your wicked magic?" The goblins smirked, "Not at all, you'll see soon enough." The goblins behind him suddenly grabbed him and started to take off his clothes, "What are you doing you disgusting monsters?!"

"We're only helping you human." Trans was now only dressed in the chest plate to the armor he had found. "Look upon yourself human." Trans looked down and saw what they had been all excited about. His skin was turning a mossy green, and he was now growing smaller. "What magic is this?!" The goblins snickered, "The armor that you found is a armor with goblin enchantments on it. Only goblins can wear it, any non-goblin that wears it... well you see the effects now."

Trans watched in horror as his the green extended across his skin and saw other changes. His once buff body was becoming more rotund and his arms were now shortening. His feet were widening along with his hands. One of the goblins held up a mirror so he could look at his face, he saw his face crunching up to become more goblinesque. His teeth were now pointed and his nose was squished.

As the transformation reached his head his brain started to change as well, his thoughts changed from hating to accepting the goblins. He started to think of himself as a goblin instead of a human. The memories of his human life were replaced with one of a goblin life. As they let go of him his hair become a greasy black instead of the brown color it had been moments before. He blinked a few times and turned to his new family. In a deeper and more malevolent tone he spoke to his new family, "Shall we destroy some humans?"

Trans no longer existed, now Tirogous he lived with the things that he used to despise and killed humans and stole their food. The clothes that he had worn as a human were soon used to make cloth for new clothes. He continued to wear the armor that had transformed him even after being changed. The next day a new set of armor was set out in the cave to wait for another brave adventurer to come and find, and join the goblins forever.
