The dense forest cover cast a dim, strange glow over the winding path as Eldric carefully followed the shrinking map shown on the screen of his Predator mask. His eyes scanned the shadows, alert for any signs of danger.
Meanwhile, he was also panicking, the words of the worried townspeople through the displayed Livestream chat, urging him onward.
"Get out of there!"
"Leave!"
"Run fast!"
Eldric didn't know where to go or where to run to.
"Where, where should I go!?"
Suddenly, a flash of movement caught his eye, and Eldric whirled around, his wrist blade ready.
A small, dog-like creature with six thin legs burst from the undergrowth, its jaws snapping viciously.
Eldric reacted quickly, his blade cutting cleanly through the creature's neck. It collapsed at his feet, green blood oozing from the fatal wound.
