Raskin's Valley

Builder: Raschdar

In the southwestern portion of Medievia, much of the forested wilderness remains untamed. Periodically, settlers will split from the main villages and attempt to form their own colonies; sadly, many of these settlers are never heard from again.

It was through this unclaimed wilderness that Jaekin found himself running, with what had to be the devil on his tail. He had always considered himself an excellent woodsman, and though only seventeen he was fast becoming the greatest hunter of his village. Yet he had never encountered a creature likethe one chasing him through the maze of branches and vines.

He looked over his shoulder to see if he was gaining any ground, stumbled over a root that seemed to grab at him with malicious intent, and tumbled to the ground. When he regained himself he found himself in a clearing that lined the edge of a precipice. The view from the precipice was staggering.

A low snarl snapped Jaekin back into reality. With full knowledge of the horror he would see, Jaekin turned to face the creature that would bring him to his end. This was Jaekin's first chance to view the creature closely. It came closest to the shape and size of a large dog, but the resemblance ended there. Black- and green-striped scales covered its body, giving it a thick outer armor almost like plate mail. A red pug-nosed snout and bulging eyes made the face appear squashed and deformed. A lizard-like tail trailed behind the thing, and its scales clinked together softly as it moved.

The creature shifted its weight backward, and Jaekin prepared himself for the pounce. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain and looked down to see a four-inch stinger jutting out from just beneath the ribs on his right side. His fixation with the first creature had blinded him to the approach of a second from the forest edge!

Jaekin fell to his knees, and as consciousness began to escape him he heard a raspy voice from behind him say, "Oh, yes. He will do quite nicely."
