Drabble STORY ARC #2: Seek and Avenge

A New Threat Arises

A chapter of a ‘choose your own’ tale

Image by the author and John Fanidis, with AI help

This is a ‘choose your own’ fiction story, “drabble edition”. You can find chapter 1 of this story here: The Burned Village. Or check out the previous chapter: ‘Shitty Job’ by John Fanidis.

Your efforts have cleared a path, which quickly divides into two more, and three further. As you race after Scruff, trying to hear the splashing of his paws in the murky water, you ask yourself if this maze will ever end…

But then comes a howl from an archway to the right. You dart forward without hesitation.

You enter a torchlit room. An orc lies dead at the foot of a ladder, with a hatch above. But a fearsome wolf-creature is approaching, and Scruff is backed into one corner…

As you raise your axe, the creature looks up, and snarls.

You decide to…

  1. Attack the wolf-creature (click here).
  2. Try to distract the wolf-creature and lead it away from Scruff (click here).
