The ground continued to shake, and the air shook with the thunder of the beast passing by. Kothar looked up, leaning back to get a good look at the creature that had almost buried him in an avalanche.
It was a dark brown deer, speckled with white spots, with a pair of small antlers. The kind of animal he wouldn't have given a second look in any other situation, had almost cost him his life.
