Chereads / Bone Knight / Chapter 4 - Skeleton's first challenge

Chapter 4 - Skeleton's first challenge

As I stood at the edge of the plain, admiring the sunset, I suddenly heard a loud thumping sound coming from the distance. My empty eye sockets widened as I tried to identify the source of the noise.

As the sound grew closer, I could see a massive creature charging towards me. The creature was covered in fur and had sharp claws and teeth. I knew that I was in danger and quickly began to run in the opposite direction.

The creature was fast, but I was surprisingly nimble. I dodged and weaved through the grass, using my bony frame to my advantage. The creature was hot on my heels, its breath hot on my back.

Just as the creature was about to pounce, I turned around and faced it head-on. I may not have had any flesh or organs, but I still had my wits about me. I used my bony limbs to strike at the creature, aiming for its weak points.

The creature was taken aback by my sudden display of strength and agility. It stumbled back, giving me a chance to escape. I took off running again, not stopping until I was far from the creature's reach.

As I caught my breath, I realized that I had just faced my first real danger in this new world. I may have been a skeleton, but I was also a survivor. I knew that there would be more challenges ahead, but I was ready to face them head-on.

With a newfound sense of confidence, I continued to explore the world around me, never forgetting the lesson I had learned in that grassy plain. I may have been a skeleton, but I was also a fighter.
