Perry's Many Life's: The Shadow of the Mawshee.

Guest author - Steven T. Richards

Well I'm surprised to find you so far from the Badlands...This was the one story I didn't think you'd find...Or if anything...I wish you did not find but here you are...Greetings again traveller to whom seek the truth. To those whom stride the path I once did in my infinite youths, to arrive at a land full of lush greenery and epic waterfalls but so too filled with exotic fauna and flora that would turn the average man pale with fright. Here lies a piece of my first past...Well the family name of Lakefield I claim anyway, Here is the story.

Upon these lands stalks a shadow most ruthless and cunning; With fangs and claws that could put any noble blade to shame... And hide so tough that the very rock beneath would crack through sheer jealousy.

The beast of which I had the misfortune of being hunted by once... And I am glad to say only the once. The Mawshee, a dreaded feline beast with fur so black ever the night would amiss this cat as it stalks the land...the eyes...Never had I had chills when I remember things that burn in my mind forevermore...But they will send chills every time. Where was I again... Oh yes, the eyes... So red and full of bloodlust...A tear always forms in my eye when I think back to it... tell you the truth, dear traveller... I was the most fortunate that day than I will ever be since..

For that dreadful beast was no more than ten feet away from me... As I hid behind a tree, separated from my party, alone in a moonless night. When all of a sudden a spooked buffalo erupted from the underbrush...within seconds the buffalo was no more and I had my chance to escape and escape I did...

Beware dear traveller, of these lands best known as Sinorra Tiasanna.

Beware these lands for the Mawshee hunts and best be careful most at night when no moonlight shows the path ahead...The temple of the never ending moon once held the piece I came for...Safe warning traveller, Here is your lesson this day. This creature is most feral where it calls home...I believe you to be strong but be cautious...It will push you to the extremes.
