Image by the author using MidJourney

This is a ‘choose your own’ fiction story, “drabble edition”. You can check out Chapter 1 of this story: The Burned Village. Check the previous chapter, “Watch Me”, by JF Danskin.

“No,” you say. “My family are prisoners of some ogre called Marroz Pale-eyes.”

“Then they’re already dead,” says Bruno. “Nobody escapes that place.”

Dara scowls. “If they’re prisoners, we need to try.”

Naya, Tox’ar stand close by with a band of goblins. “We will hunt down the rest of this bloodthirsty band of orcs,” says Naya. “Keep the forest safe until your return.”

You look to Dara, and then to a nearby group of villagers whose homes were burned during the fighting. “Is there some way we can help these people?”

“I can lead them to safety,” says Bruno.

And you decide to…

  1. March with Polki and the others towards Ballax (click here).
  2. Accompany Bruno and Dara, leading the refugees somewhere safe (click here).
  3. Help secure the village from any remaining orcs before moving on (click here).
