Chapter Village Under Attack!
The next day, Sam and Peter head to Jim’s place to check on Kate. Just as they are worried about, Kate was not doing well during the night, so she needs to stay behind and Mike told them he would stay with her for the time being. Sam went to the others to tell the news while Peter looked around the village to get some horses as they ran off from the trolls. Peter saw Abby and wondered if she knew where to get some horses around here. Walking over to Abby as she was looking at a necklace at a shop that was open and has trinkets. (Some , pins, and ornaments with magic in them.) Peter stood next to her, looking down at the trinkets.
“How is your friend?” Abby asked while putting the necklace down on the table.
“Not so well…” Peter said while looking over at Abby. “And um…I was wondering if you know where I can get horses?”
“That is in the next village down the path when you go through this village.” Abby said and turned to face Peter.
“Oh, okay, then thanks.” Peter said with a smile.
“You know, Peter, if you need more people to join your group, I know someone that would love to join. Plus, he has been waiting for you to come for some time now.” Abby told him while Peter wondered what she meant that someone had been waiting for him.
“Who is that?” Peter asked.
Before Abby could answer, someone screamed and both of them turned to the scream and saw orcs riding on wild dogs and some were running. They come into the village and start destroying the village, everyone in the screaming and running to get away from the orc’s wrath. Peter and Abby look at each other before Peter pulls out his sword and Abby transforms into a bear and starts charging at the orcs. Peter follows not too far behind Abby as she stood on her back legs and swiped her big paws at the orcs that were hit from Abby while she threw the orcs to the side. Peter twirls his sword before attacking two orcs before beheading both of them at once. Both Abby and Peter were fighting off the orcs until Sam, Zozo, Jojo, and Zoey joined in the fight. Orcs were coming from left and right as they were fighting off the orcs as best they could. Sam used his swords while cutting the orc’s arms and legs off before finishing them by stabbing them in the chest. The twins Zozo and Jojo used their axes by slicing the orcs in half by using their dwarf strength. Zoey uses her snake magic to control snakes nearby by wrapping themselves on the orcs and bringing them down as she uses daggers to kill the orcs as they are struggling from the snakes’ hold. Peter and Abby fought side by side as she transformed into a buck and used her antlers to peer into the orcs chest, killing them right on the spot. Peter’s sword was being covered by orc’s blood that was black and purple as he was killing the orcs and some he wounded them off.
“Peter!” Sam called out.
Peter turns his head to Sam’s voice before ducking from a club as an orc was behind him. Peter rolled over as he stood back up and held his sword out while the orc was taller than the others and buffer, plus it has a club with spikes on it. (Peter kinda thinks it looks like Negan’s bat from the walking dead.) The orc roared loud and swung his club at Peter again while Peter backed away from the swing and looked behind him as an orc came from behind. Sam ran over and stood behind Peter with his back facing Peter’s back.
“I got this one. You handle the big one.” Sam said, and Peter nodded.
“Alright, be careful, my friend.” Peter said, while Sam smirked.
“I’m always careful.” Sam said with sarcasm.
Sam fights the little orc while Peter carefully watches the tall orc as it snorts and grunt as it was white with two big teeth (that look like tusks) coming from his bottom jaw. The orc roared again and charged at Peter as Peter held out his sword, ready to block any attack. The club came towards Peter’s head and Peter duck fast before swinging his sword and cutting the white orc on the side as it screams out in pain. Using its free hand, it pushed Peter to the side hard as Peter went flying to a cart with apples on it. Peter moaned in pain while slowly standing up while holding his side where he landed on the cart. The tall orc laughed and was about to swing its club again till a whistle came from somewhere that was loud and sounded like a song as it whistled a bit of a toon. The tall orc looked around till a flash of black light came from the sky as the orcs screamed in pain while vanishing into the black light. Everyone looked around and saw no trace of orcs anywhere, Peter limping over to Sam as Sam looked up at the sky. Zozo and Jojo were still on their guard while Zoey stood still, as she knows that kind of magic. Abby transforms into herself as she smirks while looking at the alley where a tall elf with short brown hair and greenish blue eyes has a hint of hue blue in his eyes. Peter looked at the elf as he walked over to them. Sam stood next to Peter with his sword ready for anything while Zozo and Jojo calmed down once they saw the elf as Zoey looked shocked like she had seen a ghost.
“Hello Peter and his friends.” The elf said with a smile.
