Chapter 1: The Awakening 💤

A little while ago I started having this dreams. Dreams where the dead would rise out of there graves killing everyone in there path leaving nothing but the bones...

My name is Cane. I live with my mother and little sister near the castle of Oakfell.

We lived a happy life but now my father is gone and everything seems lost. My mother, being a single mom, tries desperately too combine her job with the household. I don't think we can take this any longer. Sooner or later we have to pack our bags and leave.

Right before I went to bed I checked the doors and windows. "You can't be too careful these days", my mother often says. With the windows and doors all locked up I finally went to sleep...

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!" is the first sound I heard when I woke up that night. It was the sound of our neighbours screaming who were being attacked by the undead.

They came in the middle of the night killing everyone in sight. Mum, my little sister and I managed to slip away while the undead were eating our neighbours.

I took us to the stables of Oakfell knowing that this was just a temporary option and that we couldn't stay there forever.

The next morning I made the decision to join the army. Even though my swordskills weren't any better than the average stable boy, I was convinced that with my bow and tracking skills I wouldn't get killed that easily. So the chief commander allowed me to join the first attack to free the Oaklands of the growing amount of undead.

Chapter 2: Red Arrow 💀

Drums... sound of a heartbeat... an army getting closer... to rid the world of the nor living nor dead... and kill their commander Fladimir the Pale.

Once the drums stopped the battlecries took over. We were ready to strike at any moment. Waiting for the signal of the king I suddenly saw him, pale and covered in blood just standing there with an empty gaze in his eyes.

Not waiting for the signal, I drew my bow. With a steady aim I pointed at Fladimir. Before I knew it the cord had slipped out of my hand. The arrow went right through the back of Fladimirs head..

First there was silence then the signal came. Outnumbered and leaderless the undead tried to make a run for it making it a lot easier to slay them.

With this heroic act I ended the apocalypse and brought peace to the people of Oakfell...but for how long?
