His hand trembled, but his fist instinctively tightened around the essence stone he held firmly. A wave of terror seeped into his mind, paralyzing his body.
Despite his will to flee, his legs felt rooted to the ground.
He watched it come, helpless, his eyes wide with horror. He knew his time was near.

It had two long, strangely humanoid arms, ending in sharp claws that gleamed in the darkness of the forest. Three horns jutted from its massive skull, like spears ready to pierce anything in their path.
