Rejuvination

Chapter 1 The Raid

I awoke to the sound of screams and war cries, I jumped up from my creaking bed grabbed a long sword, and a shield and burst through the front door of my home. Immediately I was attacked by a small group of 3 small pale green creatures. Despite my age, I managed to defeat them leaving behind a puddle of dark green viscous liquid. I Hobbled away to assist the other inhabitants of the village, as I hobbled past homes I spotted many homes on fire if not already in ruins. It was only then that I realized what had happened; the gremlins had raided the village. As I ran there was no one in sight, the only "people" I saw were dead, lifeless corpses many of which I recognized. I now prioritized getting out of the village as soon as possible. I hobbled towards the Schwarzwald forest hoping to make it there unnoticed. Sadly, I was caught by another small group of gremlins who were armed with daggers I managed to block all of their attacks eventually they broke my simple wood shield but I quickly sliced open their chests my sword after dripping in the strange green liquid, exasperated, I went into the forest without any other encounters. I went to the only other safe place I could think of; Sarah the witch's tower. Sarah and I have some history, we go way back, but over time I became more and more busy with my day-to-day life making me unable to visit her. Perhaps she can help me survive and perhaps tell me where and why these gremlins have come.
