This is a ‘choose your own’ fiction story, “drabble edition”. Each main part of the story (not including choices and blurb) should be a 100-word drabble. Find out how to contribute to the ongoing story here, or check the previous chapter ‘Attack of the Orcs’.

You’re propped up, your vision blurry. The forest road is ahead, and far to the right you can make out a cozy cabin.

Then, large, worried elf eyes appear in front of you. “I’m Dara Blackfeather — you remember me?”

“Mnm,” you grunt.

She begins unbuckling your armor. “You’ve taken many wounds, and some orcs poison their blades.”

“My family…”

“I know. But I’ve a mage friend who heals. Lorenzo.”

She gestures, and your vision stabilises; some kind of wizard stands there. “Helmet off,” he says, daubing glowing ointment into your wounds.

“Stop... I need to leave.”

“Treatment first,” says Lorenzo…

And then you…

  1. Ignore them, and rush off down the forest path (click here).
