Chapter 6 (Greg and chloe)

The unicorn "horse", being an unearthly creature, had made a really quick run towards the castle. Greg, finding it hard to balance on the back of the creature, had to stay put due to his purpose but at intervals, he yelled at in confusion because his legs seemed to hurt him every time the unicorn made a sudden jump over something. His mind was totally far away from the entire journey and is only brought back to reality by the unicorn. The main purpose of him being there, where this planet is, how far are they away from earth, what his mother would be thinking, How they would escape, all these ran through his head but there was utterly no answer to everything in his mind.

Finally, he got to the castle. He was several metres away from the main castle gate, thankfully, the unicorn stopped without to much stress. Using the bushes as a cover, he observed the entire massive building. It had a really tall fence which seemed to have been built in the third century obviously the fact that its thick visible bricks, and pinnacles on each sides of the gate which seemed like guarding watch towers. The exceeding height covered everything behind the fence and the entire amount of men, which they seem to be busy with something as they ran from both sides. After about some few minutes of observing the castle, he finally came up with the idea of going through the sewer. Few metres from him, he noticed the big steel cover which he'll call a sewer as it is on earth. He finally opened it and went in. Thankfully, it truely was a sewer but it was more vast than normal. After a long walk, he noticed a light and followed it. He got to the light and getting out of the sewer, he got to the royal stable which was obviously empty. He walked straight to the main doors and noticed it was locked. "Fuck!" He muttered. Scanning the entire stable with his eyes, he noticed another door which was left ajar. He made a quick run towards it and got to a large hallway. He charged towards the next door in front but it was too late. He was then suddenly pulled back from his trouser making him fall back, hitting his Head on a pillar. The Orc charged towards him with his left hand up in a fist but greg was smarter. He rolled away just few seconds before the Orc could punch him, kicking him on his manhood before stabbing it on the neck with a small sharp stick. With immediate response to the what he did, he continued towards the door. As he got to the other side of the door, he regretted it almost immediately. There was a head count of about more than fifteen Orcs which seemed to be in a little meeting. All staring at him almost simultaneously, greg ran out of the large room, shutting the doors behind him and ran towards another door. The orcs took to chase but greg was quite faster than their reasoning. One of the orcs who was on the hallway, chased greg as he got into the other door. The room was utterly dark making it hard for greg to see through. The Orc had stopped and ran back as though scared of the room which made greg give a sigh of relief.

Just then, his eyes caught a white light some metres away from him. Unfettered, he walked towards the light, almost in a tip toe just then he noticed the object. It was a Shorf. Another one but this one looking new and unused despite the fact that it was kept in a thornmade Cage. He tried to pull it out but the thorn around it disallowed him to gain access. Just then, he heard Chloe's voice. "Chloe?!" He called out in a hush voice remembering he wasn't there alone. He then ran towards the direction of the voice which led him to a stairwell. Her Voice sounded to be in pain and struggle as the voice kept going down. He kept on, going down the stairs, his left hand holding tight unto the stick he had formerly used to kill the Orc. Finally down the stairs, what he saw marvelled him beyond words.

There was to be a Feast and offering to the gods of the Orcs to which every Orc gathered. Scanning the large underground hall, he sighted chloe, tied at both hands and feet, as she was being carried towards the side of a big statue which he took to be their god. As he ran towards admist the crowd towards another door, he was knocked down unconscious....
