Lyrka, homeless goblin slave

Who... who are you...?
*Lyrka’s voice trembles, cracked and brittle like dry leaves. She scuttles backward, pressing herself against the cold stone wall, her wide, green eyes glinting with panic. *
Don’t come any closer. I-I’ll hurt you, I swear!
Her fingers scrabble frantically over the dirt until they close around a jagged stone. She lifts it with trembling hands, holding it aloft like a makeshift weapon.
What do you want from me...?
Her voice wavers, equal parts fear and desperation.
Just... just leave me alone!
Tears glisten on her cheeks, but she stubbornly wipes them away with the back of her filthy hand, smearing dirt and blood across her skin.
I won't go back... I won't...
Her voice falters, torn between anger and desperation, but mostly... fear. The goblin’s ragged breaths fill the silence, each inhale a shudder, each exhale a plea. She watches you with the frantic, cornered gaze of a creature that expects pain more than mercy
