One Will

Chapter 5

I woke up in a cave, there was a dirty rag shoved into my mouth, and tied in the back of my head in a knot. Blinking rapidly to clear my vision I looked around. I seemed to be in some sort of cave, chained to a platform about 3 feet off the ground. It reeked of demons and blood, I could feel bile crawling up my throat, and I probably would have vomited if I had not had the gag on. I thought could hear footsteps so I swallowed hard, closed my eyes and tried to calm my breathing. My suspicion was confirmed when a short, fat goblin waddled into the small room. I closed my eyes and slowed my breathing. The goblin walked up to me and stuck is disgusting nose right into my face. I tried hard not to gag, I could feel his drool on my chin and his hot stinking breath close to my face. It seemed like an eternity until he finally walked away.  Surprisingly they hadn't taken away my bag, so when I couldn't hear anybody in the room, I wrestled with the snap, and finally pulled out my pouch full of demons blood. Closing my eyes I carefully poured a trickle of the acidic substance onto the chains that bound me to the cavern wall. I immediately fell from my bindings and took the gag out of my mouth. I spat onto the ground. Sneaking silently through the many damp and dark rooms of the cave, I looked around every corner To see if there are any goblins still lurking in their dark and disgusting abode. At one time A goblin hunting party came back with fresh kill. I slinked into a shadowy corner and held my breath, trying not to look.  Then,  I finally crept into the blinding sunlight and blinked, My eyes still adjusting to the sunlight. After a short pause, I carried on traveling, slipping from tree to tree.
