Those watching the mountain shake itself to pieces clutched each other like scared children, the earth shaking beneath them, and the skies dark, a behemoth in front of the sun.
The mountain crumbled, enormous chunks of rock falling away, triggering avalanche after avalanche on the neighboring mountains, enormous swatches of snow and rock barreling down the side of the mountains.
An enormous cloud of dust and rock exploded into the sky, filling the air above the mountains, all watched in suspense, waiting for the dust to settle.
A pair of glowing orange lights blinked into existence within the great cloud of dust, growing brighter and brighter, until it emerged.
Those near enough to see the Fidour mountains watched, frozen, as the enormous beast flew out from the dust.
