~Crap,~ Lucius thought to himself, sensing that a large horde of creatures were slowly approaching the area. He quickly grabbed Hannibal and Alpha with his tail, before scaling up a nearby tree.
"Keep quiet," he ordered, before making sure that he was properly hidden behind the decayed tree's yellowed leaves.
After a few moments, the sound of hundreds of tiny footsteps could be heard just a small distance away. It was quite dark since the moonlight just barely made its way to the forest floor, however, Lucius could still make out the several dozen figures that he had sensed.
~What are they?~ he thought to himself, watching as something like a hundred creatures from different species, dragged what looked like corpses toward the soup.
