Chapter Twenty-one- Games

Chapter twenty-one

It was musty and dark, I couldn't see or here anything. I could smell the orcs musty scent and I felt dirt on my back. I was kicking and fighting against the kidnappers. It was no use, they had an iron grip on me. "What do you want from me!" I screamed into the tunnel. The orc snarled and when to bite me but another Orc stopped him by shaking its head and snarling. I grumbled and kicked more but I eventually gave up. I would get away once I was out of this stupid tunnel. Suddenly I was tossed forward, and I was falling. I couldn't see anything but I screamed as I plummeted threw the air. I hit something squishy and I was grabbed again- then tossed into a cage.

I felt dirty hands on my armor, ripping it off as a fire was ignited. I screamed and kicked them as they pulled at my armor. Oh god, is that why they brought me here. To- To use me!? They tore my armor away leaving me in the ripped dress I'd been wearing before. Their evil laughter echoed in the cave as I looked around I could see buildings built into the wet rock and mud. Orcs and Goblins climbed the buildings, and sides of the cave crawling down towards me. The sound of the ground trembling shook the cage that I sat on. I stared at a large blob like creature that had emerged. I make a quiet screeching sound. As a.... thing. Appeared, it was huge and pink. With ears hanging past its neck, its fat jiggled when it moved. It smirked at me, missing most of its front teeth.

"Perfect, we have the princess and soon the prince. Then the king will have to come. This plan is perfect. We also got a few riders for a snack!" it laughed, my head shot over towards two other cages to my right. My eyes widened as I saw my brothers and Fehnaroh piled into the same cage. All unconscious. I gasped in surprise and turned towards the Goblin king. "I am not the princess you idiots. I am an outlaw!" the goblins expression changed from glee to surprise then to anger. He turned towards a collection of Orcs. "You idiots!" it yelled. I looked over at my brothers. I needed to find a way to free them. The goblin king looked back towards me. "Wait, how do we know your not lying." I scowled at them. "I'm a red head. The prince, king and princess are blonde."

The pig like creature snarled tempestuously at the orcs and knocked one back with his scepter. Then looked at me. Eyeing me up and down like I was a piece of meat, I cringed and covered myself with my hands. "You know, since you're a woman. You could come in handy... perhaps the princes lover. Oh! Better yet. The princesses lover! The homosexual supporting cast." He laughed loudly, his thundering chortle echoed threw the cave. Shaking the walls. He gestured towards me. "You know what to do." I kicked at the first ones that opened the cage. "Oh, a feisty one." The grotesque brute snorted in enjoyment as they grabbed my feet and tied them up with chains then yanked me out of the cage. I was pushed towards a cave wall, one of the orcs hit a leaver and the door opened to reveal the cave entrance.

I stared into the forest and mountains beyond. The orcs shoved me again and grabbed my wrist bindings then tried me up with wooden supports. Hanging above the entrance. I struggled against the chains. Shouting elven curses at the orcs, all the while they laughed. "What if something else gets me, then you'll have you bait." I snarled. The orcs cackled and gestured behind the door. Some sort of contraption was being rolled out, big and with a silver body. My eyes widened as I looked at it, A cannon? They tied the end of the cannon to my chains. "The second this comes off, the Cannon will fire. Killing both you and your captor. We don't care if we kill the prince. He is expandable. Only the Goblin king cares, but hes not here. Is he." A couple of goblins said to me in their gravely voices. I continued to struggle. I couldn't rely on someone coming to save me- I wasn't like that- but the chains where stuck tight in the supports and stone. To a passing adventurer. I was nothing more than a captured damsel in destress. Who they would rescue and get 'True loves kiss'. Sadly they would be greeted with another fate, a cannon ball to the face. I needed to find a way to get out of the chains without setting the cannon off. The cannon was hiden behind a sliding rock door that would move when the chain tied to my left arm was removed. While the cannon would fire with the dropping of both chains.

I kicked against the air and let out a frustrated scream. I needed to get down, I had to save my brothers! I couldn't hang here helplessly like a pretty present with a bow on top. I couldn't, I couldn't.

"What, how?"

I asked Llevelen. Confused by her flustered words, but I could under stand the severity of the situation if they had truly captured one of our own. They would get information out of him, and know our weakpoints. "Shit." I said, turning on my younger sibling. "Dolle naa lost" I snarled. "What where you thinking, going into the forest with only one guard. That is a fools move- and you know it, now I have to go save your boyfriend." I rolled my eyes and grabbed my sword from my sheath. I'd had time to change into actual armor. I grabbed her bow from her then went over to Iviaans eagle. "Your master was captured." The creature cried and tried to jump into the sky, but its wing was broken and It couldn't make it very far- well that killed that option. I looked around and stroked the bird. "I'll get him, I promise."

I went to my elk, who had been stationed quietly in the stables. He was chewing on some hay and looked up when I approached. "We have to go save someone, boy." I patted his nose quietly. Then mounted him and kicked his sides, but before we could take off my sister ran up. Her pet wolf- Shii- at her side. I'd been wondered where that fool dog had been at. "Take him with you, he'll find Iviaans scent." She said. I looked at the wolf that wagged its tail and licked drool off its lips. "Fine, lets get going." I muttered, kicking the elk that took off into the forest the second my foot came incontact with its hide quarters. The wolf rocketed after us.

I didn't know how she thought having the wolf around would help us, since we had to search and entire forest, but oh well. I guess the games are beginning.
