This is a continuation of The Burned Village, a ‘choose your own’ fiction story, “drabble edition,” initially created by JF Danskin. Head back to the previous chapter here or find out how to contribute to the ongoing story here.

You follow Helga and Robbie out through the house’s back door.

Once out of sight of the town, you take the lead, weaving through the dense trees and undergrowth. After perhaps an hour of walking, you part the last two stubborn boughs, revealing a quaint abandoned cottage.

You point ahead. “Lay low here. I must go join some friends. Villages are in danger from orcs, and I must find my family.”

“What about my family?” Helga asks.

You frown. “I’ll not return home before your family is dealt with. On my honor.”

“I pray for your safe return,” Helga says.

Do you:

  1. Investigate the recent orc sightings in the woods? (Click Here).
  2. Return to town to persuade Helga’s family to leave her and Robbie alone? (Click Here).

Do you leave Helga and Robbie and hope they can solve their own problems? Or do you meddle because you’re a hero?

Consider helping me out with a $2 tip to my Ko-Fi, or subscribe to my fiction stories to hear more, mainly because I like drinking hot drinks and writing stories for you to read!
