This is a continuation of You Are Dead, a Choose Your Own Adventure Story — Drabble Edition started by Bradan Writes Stories. Find out how to contribute here, or return to the previous chapter: “The Eleven Guards Meet their Fate”, “Decisions in the Elf Castle!”, or “Machinations in the Antechamber”.

You hurry up onto the walls. Nobody stops you. The exhausted guards are few in number.

You gaze out at the dwarven army: hundreds of troops, siege engines, cavalry. They eat sausages and guzzle beer, sure of victory.

“Quite a sight, huh?” says a voice.

You look round to see an elven woman.

“Are you…”

“Queen Dyra.”

“Huh!” You bow slightly.

“You came to help?”

You sigh. “I just need a safe place. I’m being pursued by Death.”

The queen eyes the attacking army. “Likewise.”

“I mean, like, the actual guy. Scythe, skull face, the lot!”

“What should we do?”
