It's Been Found Part II

Tayler the Wanderer and It repeatedly stamped the goblins face and mashed his brain to be sure that he would not attack them again.

"This is just like when I used to make blood wine for you sir." said It, "I would grab a small woodland creature and then bash his head repeatedly with a rock."
"We must continue on with the search for an exit to this evil place." said Tayler the Wanderer, "Or else we will starve to death. Of course, you are my servant so you will die of hunger long before I do."
Tayler the Wanderer and It continued down the long corridor.
"What be that?" asked It.

"I don't ever recall a large pair of eyes floating in the darkness ever being a good thing." said the frightened Tayler, "We should go another way."
Tayler the Wanderer and It searched for a week.

"More cages, more cages, all there is is more CAGES!" yelled It.
"This is a goat." said Tayler the Wanderer.
Tayler the Wanderer and It sank deeper and deeper into insanity, for they had nothing to eat but old dried up wood and the occasional goat hoof.
"Master, I can't go on, all there is is cages and prisons and darkness." sobbered It.

"We must go on, no matter what, for that is the code of valor for any adventurer." said Tayler the Wanderer.

The bumbling duo set off.
"Master!" yelled It, "I have found something! Maybe we can eat it."
"What evil is this?" asked Tayler, "Be wary it, this is not a good thing. Now I command you to touch it."
It walked up and touched the thing.

"It's okay master, nothing is..."
Just as It was about to finish his sentence, the crouched figure sat up. It screamed like a milkmaid and then soiled himself.
A giant grin appeared across the mysterious figure's face.

"I am Gorgorthrall the Loud!" said Gorgorthrall.

As she spoke, the caverns shook.

"Death comes to those who awaken me!" bellowed Gorgorthrall.
Gorgorthrall stood up.

"I will fight you now." said Gorgorthrall, "Prepare yourselves for battle."
"We wish not to fight you." said Tayler the Wanderer, "We wish only to find the way out of this cursed place."
"Out? Out? You wish to find the way out? I tell no one the way out especially a rotten pile of stinky cabbage dog poo of a servant you have there."
It's feeling were scathed by Gorgorthrall's curt remarks.
Gorgorthrall unsheathed it's weapon.

Gorgorthrall lunged towards Tayler and delivered a powerful blow. Tayler the Wanderer used all of his strength to block the strike.
"Ya! You will not last long against my power!" bellowed Gorgorthrall.
It tried to sneak up and bite Gorgorthrall in the leg.

Gorgorthrall was quick to boot it in his mouth.
It distracted Tayler with his cries. Gorgorthrall took advantage of Tayler the Wanderer's split second of letting his guard down and cut him on his arm.
Tayler the Wanderer screamed in agony. It had been so long since he had an injury, for his sword fighting skills were very good.
It stood there and watched Tayler the Wanderer sob and before he knew it, he was cut too.
The bumbling duo calmly examined their wounds.

It tried to put his knife in his wound to make it better but it only made it worse.
They gathered themselves and prepared for their last attempt at an attack.
They caught Gorgorthrall off guard and pierced it with their blades.
It jammed his knife into Gorgorthrall's neck area.
Tayler the Wanderer sliced Gorgorthrall's leg right off.
Beams of light shot out of Gorgorthrall's mortal wounds. Gorgorthrall shook and shuddered and screamed and then faded into the darkness.
Tayler the Wanderer and It tended to their wounds.
"I hope there isn't any more of those things in here." said Tayler the Wanderer, "Now we must continue on and find a way out of this cursed place. I am losing track of time."

"I think I heard something master." said It.
"The noise came from this chamber." said It.
"Cali! Hunting kitten! I don't believe it!" yelled the overjoyed Wanderer.
"Tayler! We found you!" yelled the hunting kitten, "We looked so hard for you. First we asked the the baker if he had seen you. Then we asked the gatekeeper. Then we took a nap. Then we waited a couple days and went into this old building and you are here in the cellar!"

"I ate a donut from the baker's and then he got angry and threw us in a pile of mud. Then I found another donut, but it tasted an awful lot like mud." said Cali.
"Enough talking you, just throw us a rope!" yelled Tayler the Wanderer.
Cali and the hunting kitten dropped a rope down for Tayler the Wanderer and It.

"Make sure the rope is secure or you'll get to know the end of my boot really well." said Tayler the Wanderer.
Tayler the Wanderer helped It out of the hole.
"The light, it's so beautiful. I almost forgot what it was like." said Tayler the Wanderer.

A single tear made its way down It's cheek.
Tayler the Wanderer and It set off once again.

Tune in next month for another adventurous adventure!
