“I’ll defeat this demon!” you say, confidently striding towards Impachik.
But when he moves closer, you remember how massive he is. At least four times your height!
A villager screams.
You slash, but don’t have the reach with the golden dagger. Even with a spear it would be a struggle.
You’re now backing away. Henk has fallen to the ground, sobbing in fear. And the demon seems to loom larger still at the sight of the two of you crumbling like this!
On the verge of fleeing, you look at Angelika. You can’t give up on the girl… Can you?
Thanks for reading!
