Father died, swallowed by that giant monster. Fiss leaned against the window sill in disbelief at the tragic scene unfolding in front of him.
In young wolf's heart, his father was invincible, the strongest warrior in the village. He could easily catch delicious but elusive rabbits and drive away the roaming Gnolls and Goblins on the prairie.
Two years ago, a terrifying Scorpion-tailed Lion flew over the prairie. The giant lion with bat wings and a scorpion tail built its nest in a pile of rubble not too far from the village, hunting villagers and killing many. Even Toby, Fiss's best friend, was snatched away by the Scorpion-tailed Lion in broad daylight.
The village hunting team had tried many times to hunt down the monster in the pile of rubble, but it was extremely cunning, flying away as soon as it noticed a crowd, only to sneak back after the hunting team left.
