The finale (part 8) of a ‘choose your own’ story

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

You enter the shadowy tunnel, now noticing the pain and heavy bleeding from your shoulder and hand.

Dara’s instincts are better than yours (or those of Tox’ar); the tunnel curves down into the dungeons. Here, too, fighting has raged. Many goblins and other heroes have raided Ballax. Doors are smashed. Currently, several lizardfolk are escaping.

You run inside, heart thumping. Are you too late? Have the orcs eaten your people? You see familiar faces — neighbours from the burned village, busy smashing their chains…

And then you see them — your family. Thin, ragged, but alive.

They fling themselves into your arms.
