Chapter 3 - First quest

Xavier looked around franticly. Where could he run to? Who were the Grissini?!? Curses! He was getting more questions than he could ever ask today. "Can't I catch a break?!"

"You sure you saw something Grug?"

Xavier cursed under his breath. They were here already? No time to prepare? Dam!

"I'm telling you Bobby i saw something! Maybe it's that spy we been trying to catch!"

Xavier quickly dived into a bush hoping the Grissini wouldn't look for him to hard.

"Alright, alight let's take a look."

Xavier followed the voices to find their owners and nearly gasped in surprise. Orcs! Real life, Red Orcs! Xavier could barely stop shaking out of excitement! Orcs! The ones known for their stupidity, muscles and tendency to... Xavier continued shaking. Not out of excitement now, but out of fear! And a tendency to crush bones on a whim! He continued to study the orcs. One was actually quite small almost goblin looking size. Not that Xavier had ever seen a goblin but seeing that there were orcs around the size he imagined orcs to be like, he assumed goblins would be the same.

The small one seemed to be talking in a high pitch voice with protruding canines only from the bottom of his mouth. Freckles and warts covering his red leathery skin. His choice of clothing didn't really surprise Xavier with only scraps of cloth being the usual choice of clothing with any orcs in many video games. And after listening to the orc's conversation, he believed this orc to be called Grug.

"I don't see anything Grug."

Xavier examined the second orc. This one was much bigger. Almost standing two times higher than Xavier, rippled with muscles making look even taller. Xavier guessed this was the orc called Bobby. Bobby held a chipped battle axe that looked like it had been stolen from the scrap yard. "It will still chop me in half with those muscles though" Xavier reminded himself once again cursing his luck today.

"What was that!"

"...Dam"

Xavier bolted from his hiding spot as fast as he could!

"Get him Bobby! It's the spy! It's the spy!"

Xavier continued running as fast as he could. Weaving in and out of the trees. Ducking under branches and vaulting over logs.

Boom!

"What now?!!?"

Xavier looked behind him.

"What the hell!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xavier saw a red giant smashing through the obstacles he had to dodge. Shaking the ground with every step it took! "Why can't I be faster!!"

Biding!
