Drabble STORY ARC #2: Seek and Avenge

Peril in the Heights

Part of a ‘choose your own’ story — drabble edition.

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: ‘As the Army Departs’, by JF Danskin.

You dash forward and start climbing. Soon, the spectacular main cave is far below.

You pause, looking down. There is a ripe smell, as you’d expect of an orc base. Trash lies everywhere.

Climbing on, you once again see movement. It’s surprising how the orcs didn’t leave guards, but…

You reach a higher alcove. A pair of eyes glow in one corner. Then an orc advances. He’s enormous! You draw your sword and slash, but are charged back and thrown hard against the cave wall. You drop your weapon, and the grinning orc pins you down, knees on your chest…

It’s a fight for survival! Do you…

Hope you enjoyed this! We had an easier time with the same orc here, lol…
