Hello Everyone! Here is my first chapter of my first ever fanfic. I hope you enjoy it.
It had been two weeks since Gregor had been banished from Regalia. The Council wanted to execute him but Vikus had prevented that so the council banished him instead.
He was dropped off in the edge of the jungle, not far from the territory of the ants. He was left with no weapons or food.
He had walked away from the ants and into the uncharted lands. The uncharted lands were desolate and full of rocks and ash. There was only a little bit of water in some rock pools. The only other thing that wasn't rock was pits of lava which he nearly fell in several times.
He came upon a large collection of boulders about three metres tall. He climbed on them to scope out the area. The uncharted lands were surprisingly light which meant he could see what was going on without echolocation. There was not much to see except more rocks and some smoke coming out of a lava pit.
He was about to hop down when he saw something move behind a rock. He quickly slid off the rock and hit behind it. Whatever was out here could not be friendly. He slowly approached the area where he saw the figure. He was careful to remain hidden and not make any noise.
When he reached the area where he saw the figure there was a terrible smell in the air that made you want to vomit. He looked down and saw a corpse of something in a small hollow of a cave. There were also a few rages and knife which had a carved wood handle and a long sharp blade made of someone's rib bone.
Gregor picked up the knife to examine it more closely. It had lots of weird markings on it which he did not understand. He tucked the knife into his belt and hurried off quickly to get away from the smell. He walked on for a little longer when he saw a wooden pole about five metres tall. The pole had lots of skulls attached to it with string.
Gregor had a bad feeling that he shouldn't go past the pole and into the area behind it. There seemed to be some nut cases running around. He quickly changed direction and walked off. A few hours later he found a small cave between two rocks. He climbed into it to rest. The rocks were positioned so that Gregor could see a large area of the uncharted lands. He saw more of the poles with skulls on it in the distance. He hoped that nothing would find him and in a few minutes he had fallen asleep.
He was awoken by the sound of rustling and falling rocks. He leapt up banging his head on the roof of the cave.
"What was that?" said something after hearing the sound
"I don't know" answered another "I think it came from those rocks over there. I hope it's another goblin so we can kill it"
Gregor looked out of the entrance of the cave and saw two humanoid figures about five feet tall scurrying towards his cave. He grabbed the knife and crept to the very back of the cave. The two figures walked around the rocks for a few minutes before discovering the cave.
"Hey, I found a cave here. It looks just like the sort of place a goblin would hide" one of them said pointing at the cave entrance.
"There can't be more than one lets go finish it" said the other walking towards the cave.
Gregor noticed that one of them was holding a knife similar to his. The other had a bow with a few crude arrows. The one with the knife started climbing into the cave while the other one pulled out his bow to cover him. Gregor slowly crawled towards the figure at the entrance of the cave.
"I can't see a thing in here" he said "grab a torch"
There was some rustling outside the cave. The one with the knife poked his head back in the cave, this time he had a flaming torch in one hand and the knife in the other. Once he had more than half his body inside the cave. Gregor swung his knife at goblin-eater. The knife hit him in the chest making him scream in pain.
The goblin-eater swung his knife at Gregor but Gregor was too quick and dodged. Gregor then sliced one of its legs and it fell to the ground. Gregor stabbed it in the head with the knife and then retreated back to the end of the cave.
"Hey what's going on in there?" asked the one with the bow. When no one answered him he lowered the bow and pulled out a massive wooden club. He crouched and slowly approached the entrance of the cave. When he was about a metre from the entrance Gregor came rushing out and killed it with one slash.
He climbed on the top of the cave and looked around. To his surprise there were hundreds of these groups roaming around. All of them carried weapons and most were missing limbs or other body parts.
He quickly leapt down from the cave roof before any of them could see him. He didn't know what he should do. If he stayed around this area he would surely get killed. They would soon find the two bodies and the groups would get larger. If he went back to the jungle he could get help from the mice. He could also get lost in the jungle and die of thirst because most of the rivers were poisonous or piranha infested.
He was about to decide which route to go when he heard a voice nearby.
"There are two dead orcs here. Sound the alarm and find the killer" the voice ordered.
There was a lot of scurrying and then horns began to make noise from all directions. He quickly ran off staying between rocks and avoiding any groups of 'orcs' that were nearby. The groups had been upgraded from two each to five each.
He managed to avoid being spotted for a few hours when a voice behind him yelled.
"There he is. Don't let him get away" he ordered.
