"GET BACK!!!"
"ENCIRCLE HIM!!!"
From the treeline, he spotted a group of guards encircling a boy in the forest clearing.
ROAR!
His head shot to the source of the booming roar.
Is that an orc?!
It was massive—twice the height of the guards. Its green skin was slicked with sweat and blood, its eyes a glowing magenta, and a stone club caked with blood rested on its shoulders. Blood dripped down onto its hand as the orc raised it high.
Using this opening, the guards began slashing their swords, magenta blood flew with each swipe—but all in vain.
NO! THEY'RE GONNA GET HI—
SQUELCH! CRACK!
The sounds echoed as the goblin's single swing wiped out the boy's protection. The boy, hidden in darkness, trembled, eyes moving rapidly before the end.
Oswald cupped his hands around his mouth. "HEY! RUN! GET OUTTA THERE!"
He barked, but the boy remained in place. Saliva dripped from the huge goblin's mouth as it raised the club high.
FUCKMEFUCKMEFUCKME!
He began sprinting, his footfalls somehow shorter than they'd been during his arrival.
BOOM!
The club crashed against the empty ground—leaves fell from the surrounding trees, the ground cratered and indented from the collision.
He hadn't thought—he dove. His shoulder slammed into the boy's midsection and scrambled up, hauling the shell-shocked kid into his arms.
"GOTTA BLAST! GOTTA BLAST! OHHHH I GOTTA BLAAAST!!!"
His breath came in ragged gasps, the boy's weight jolting against his chest with every pounding step.
ROOOAR! THUD THUD THUD!
"OHHHHH HE'S COMING!!!"
He swiped branches with his free hand, some colliding against his face and leaving marks.
"DON'T LOOK BACK DON'T LOOK BACK!!!"
He looked back.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!! IT'S BEHIND MEEEEE!!!"
The orc closed the distance with each step. He could hear its rapid, guttural breathing.
"AAAAAHHH!!! TOO CLOOOOOS—"
SNAP!
The world paused. The only things his mind registered were snapping, flight, a roar, and yelling before darkness took over.
