“His soldiers protested that the orcs would spot them first and attack, but their captain reassured them. ‘Look for my sign and go forward to victory. Those orcs will not see it coming. Get ready, brave soldiers. When life calls on us to act, we must rise to the occasion.’ Whitney winked and climbed into the bucket of the catapult fearlessly. He drew his sword, and in one smooth motion, he cut the rope. His men watched, dumbfounded, as the machine launched their intrepid leader into the black sky and he disappeared from view.

“The captain flew silently toward the orcs’ camp, the only sound the air whistling past his ears. Whitney angled his descent toward the largest tent, which belonged to the lead orc bruiser himself. When he reached it, he plunged his sword into the fabric, tearing it asunder as he slid toward solid ground. He seized a nearby torch and set the tent aflame.

“The captain was swift, running from tent to tent with his torch. When his soldiers saw the glow of the fire, they recognized his sign and rushed toward the orc camp, their own weapons raised. The disorganized orcs scrambled to meet the surprise assault, but they were spooked and unprepared. Whitney leveled three orcs with a single sweep of his sword, and his soldiers rejoiced when they saw him alive.

“With their supplies and resolve destroyed, the orc forces were routed. Before sunrise, they had retreated, leaving behind the smoldering remains of their camp. Captain Whitney’s soldiers cheered for him: ‘Fearless Flyer! Fearless Flyer!’”

As Abel finished relating the tale, he found his audience speechless, glassy eyes wide. He misunderstood their silence and shrugged. “Sorry, I got excited. It’s my favorite story. My father’s letter told it better.”

Jeremiah was stunned by what he had just heard. He knew the story was wrong. Twisted. Memory pricked his thoughts again—the choking noise. Before Jeremiah could speak up, Conor cut in. “Not at all. Stories guide our lives and shape our destinies.”

“Captain Whitney’s soldiers cheered for him: ‘Fearless Flyer! Fearless Flyer!’”
