“I’m just a simple goblin. Do you know we don’t have a word for ‘family’ or ‘love’? Suffice to say, I don’t really understand your attachment to the small humans.

“Our people once were warriors. But unlike you, Jake, they were people with mana, pride; people with spirit.”

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
