BIG SWORD: Graves & Groves
 |
Fleeing Prey
The sound of branches rustling above you¸ the vicious trampling of twigs below¸ your lungs feel like they're on fire but you keep on running. The dense forest blocks what little moonlight there is and you can't tell where you're going¸ but that doesn't matter.
None of it matters.
All that matters is that you get away. You've left them behind to deal with that thing. That horrible¸ murderous¸ blood-thirsty monster.
No one can save them now.
