I can't believe this.. You think as you cross through the peeling bronze gates, hearing an eerie creeeaaaak as you pass through. Walking on the lifeless pathway, you notice a sign. "Brontide's Residence" You cannot make out the old writing on the sign, someone.. or something has clawed off most of the paint, making it illegible.Hearing a rustle in the bushes behind you, you spin around just in time to see a red flash. A cold chill runs up then

Your spine.
There it is again.
flash.. ..flash.. ..flash.
A bead of sweat runs down your forehead, a raven caws overhead, not helping your nervosa. Finally, emerging from a tree, is an animal. Red as the blood that flows through veins, sleek as the bullet within a gun, and lean as a broken tree. Feeling uneasy, the creature approaches you with caution, sits upon his muscular haunches, and clears his throat. You look around wildly to see if this was a trick.. but it wasn't. You watch it intently as it begins to speak. "Hello, traveler."
