Drabble STORY ARC #2: Seek and Avenge

The Dripping Tunnels Begin to Scramble Your Mind…

And why wouldn’t they?

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. Find out how to contribute to the ongoing story here, or check the previous chapter: ‘Deeper Into the Abandoned Mines’ or ‘Plunge Pool’ by JF Danskin.

You go deeper in almost total darkness. Your hands are scratched raw on the rough stone wall as you try to guide yourself.

You tell yourself one thing, over and over: I must find a way up.

But all around is darkness. Endless long, winding, dripping tunnels.

Until — after you don’t know how long — a torchlight.

A voice.

Paranoid, you draw your sword, hissing at the approaching figure.

But it’s Tox’ar, the lizardman warrior from back in town!

“The orcs are going to attack Five Oaks Village…” you both begin at once.

Then nod, knowing that you need to act.

Continue.
